Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I haven't been able to reproduce this bug myself, but trunk rev. 1526 probably fixes it anyway. Similar to bug #189946, the python thread state wasn't set up properly. Saucy's Python 3.3.2 isn't as lenient as previous versions and is likely is to crash in that case.

So what do I have to do? Wait for a new python version? Where can I get the mentioned trunk rev. 1526 or newer?

You can find a Snapshot of Onboard containing among others a fix for this bug and new features in our Snapshots PPA.

The onboard ppa works. Thanks.

Hi,

I have uploaded a snapshot of the current development status of Onboard containing a fix for this bug and other new features to our main PPA that is also ARM enabled:
https://launchpad.net/~onboard/+archive/ppa

The snapshot is available for raring and for saucy.

Have a nice day.

Works perfectly without crashes now. Thank you.

Only thing which does not work is that onboard does not take the desktop theme. The keys are beige with black text, and not as the menus dark gray with white text.

About my these problem see bug 1210568.
