It is crashing on a video or something similar .. In preferences -> other do you have hardware encoding enabled?

Take a look under preferences, other tab. The last couple of versions changed quite a few libraries so this might be challenge to debug on the ubuntu side.

I can sort of duplicate this with a docker using the appimage and your showfolder .. more correctly .. your audio/the audio.
Please try without the audio and see if that plays.
Ie. to to files->sequence settings, change from media to Animation.
Render and Play.
For me it wont play with audio - but has no problem without the audio.
I am no expert on this .. but perhaps it will help us figure it out..

Update: perhaps its just my docker install .. not having sound? But please give it a go..

The dump is occurring on the bitmap draw in gtk (from what I can tell). The early versions of xlights, many libraries including wxWidgets were updated etc. Could it be that your base linux needs some updates?
When was the last working version for you? (2023.10 is too far back - can you find the latest working version then we can narrow down what changes may have triggered this)

I installed a ubuntu 23.10 docker and ran the appimage without issue OTHER than no audio. Apparently that is not something I can do with a windows to linux docker. Can you try with no audio. Make sure your packages are upto date etc. etc. Others seem to be getting this to work.

Yea.. I am running in docker and apparently you cant get audio out of a unix docker running on windows. So I am at a roadblock to find the cause. Hoping you find it is just the audio - perhaps even just switch out the .mp3 with another one - just to test.

btw..yes, Dan & I fixed the buttons in the toolbar in those later versions. Sounds like something in wxWidgets and your config is messing up.
