[0.16.17] Start up crash on Linux.

[goldenscruff]

When ever I have tried to start up Factorio on Linux, (16.17) within 0.418 seconds Factorio crashes rendering Factorio unplayable.

I do have the file "factorio-icon,png" within the graphics folder.
This hasn't happened on 0.16.16 ever before thus I suspect downgrading will fix the problem, or upgrading my slightly out of date ubuntu (its more than 2 years old)

I've got the same issue on linux:

I cant find the original post that i would be duplicating so why was this moved to duplicates?
If you can find the post could you please link it and not just find that you have the same problem and move both into the duplicates because then the dev team will most likely not find this terrible bug

There were about 20 posts about this bug and it was already fixed for 0.16.18 that released a while ago.
