[SOLVED] Certain gnome apps would crash

[digiSal]

Also, after updating to 9.10 I had several apps that would only run for a bit and then would close.

apps like

Gwibber (for twitter)
The new Ubuntu Software Center

When opening them up from the terminal I would get this error

"ERROR: Caught a segmentation fault while loading plugin file:
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstlibvisual.so"

so after doing some googling someone said to just remove it, rename it or move it.

So I ran this command to move it and rename it

Code Select Expand

mv /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstlibvisual.so libgstlibvisual.so.OLD

after that everything worked great.
