Segmentation fault on startup with Arch Linux (gdb backtrace and config within)

[Azelphur]

Hi, I'm getting a segmentation fault on startup with Arch Linux. Hopefully someone can help me

Here's the backtrace:

Thanks folks! :)

After much fiddling, I managed to get it working, I think this is down to a combination of issues.

1. Arch doesn't seem to bundle the "simple" theme with EmulationStation - I think EmulationStation is supposed to work without the theme, however.
2. The version of the theme in AUR seems to be outdated.

To work around this, I downloaded the Windows zip version of EmulationStation, took the themes directory and dropped it in ~/.config/emulationstation/themes

So, probably still a bug, but at least it has a workaround. Yay! :)
