Since you are using a beta version you should not really wonder... Since
the current stable is 1.3.0 maybe its time to do an update.

The problem could also be your Ubuntu.

However: maybe another way would be the use of a card reader. This is
how I usually import the pictures. My notebook has one embedded but for
standard PC's they are included often as well or cost not much. With a
card reader your SD-card acts like an usb stick. If then there is a
crash you should really blame Ubuntu...
