Eric7 crashes unexpectedly

[Patrick Headley]

I use Gnome. I did update pip as the first step to installing eric7.

How long did you leave eric7 running? For me it ran for a period of time 
before crashing. Mostly, it would crash while it was idle when I was 
reading the documentation to learn how to use it, but not always.
