Installed sage 7.6 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to work with a colleague who is also on 7.X release (they are on Fedora). It all seemed to go OK but consistently get a crash message as soon as it starts. A crash report text file is created - can supply that for someone to look at.
Here is the terminal output:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ SageMath version 7.6, Release Date: 2017-03-25 │ │ Type "notebook()" for the browser-based notebook interface. │ │ Type "help()" for help. │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Oops, Sage crashed. We do our best to make it stable, but...
