You need to run qgis via gdb:

 gdb qgis.bin

In the gdb prompt type 'run' to start the executable:

 (gdb) run

When you get the segfault type 'bt' to get the back trace:

 (gdb) bt

Please try to above so we can find out if the deprecated
spatialite_init() method is causing the segfault.

Today the spatialite transition started so we'll soon have SpatiaLite
4.3.0 in testing, this is part of the solution to the spatialite_init()
related problems. Another part is the upcoming transition to GDAL 1.11,
and for QGIS we'll need the next LTR (2.8.3). QGIS 2.8.2 doesn't have
the spatialite_init() related fixes yet.

Kind Regards,
