Inkscape crashes on large projects and gives “dark spots”. Do you have the same symptoms, help me because it is a software that I use a lot
Inkscape 1.3.2 (091e20ef0f, 2023-11-25, custom)
Operating System: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2
Kernel Version: 6.10.6-10-MANJARO (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-5300U CPU @ 2.30GHz
Memory: 15.5 Gio of RAM
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 5500
Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
Product Name: Latitude E5450
I’m not a big user of Inkscape but I’ve not noticed any problems with my small-scale use. If the problem is only with large projects it might be worth checking you have some swap turned on, for instance with swapon --show.
Have you tried to check memory use (with top maybe) when dealing with your large project?
You could also paste the output of inxi -zv8 to give some more detail of your system in case that helps anyone.
Usually, we need more information than is provided by neofetch (and similar). Please provide the output of:
inxi --admin --verbosity=8 --filter --no-host --width
Also, please tell us what you have done to find the problem yourself. What are the results of your forum search to find similar issues?
Under what specific conditions do these crashes occur?
Is Inkscape the package from the official Manjaro repo (recommended) or installed from elsewhere (Flatpak/ AUR)?
Some actionable information is more useful than vague descriptions.
Cheers.

I am currently performing the system update that is available today, it also includes an update of Inkscape (1.3.2-9 to 1.3.2-11), I hope this will resolve my issue. Here is the inxi result you asked me for in the meantime, I hope it helps:
~ inxi --admin --verbosity=8 --filter --no-host --width ✔

Ah I forgot to specify that the crash occurs during rendering (export in PNG, JPEG format), and this is especially for heavy files (>25 MB)
Merci !
I might have suspected lack of swap being the culprit, but from your system information it seems at least sufficient.
Aside:- Adding zram at a future time may enhance performance to some extent (See: Add a backing SWAP device to zram (and enable hibernation) ); but this is unrelated.
Another potential culprit is lack of available space. Usage seems fair at ~30% overall, but temporary files generated by graphic applications can at times be excessive.
A quick Internet search revealed the crashes you describe have been reported for several years, without any definitive solution. One suggestion I found was to avoid saving to removable USB media; or any non-pool volume on other disks; this doesn’t seem applicable in your case.
You might consider checking the destination file system for consistency. I’m not familiar enough with BTRFS to make any recommendations regarding appropriate tools to use.
And then, there is this:
Although the issue is three years old, and in a Windows environment, the similarity is obvious. This might be indicative of a bug in Inkscape that has prevailed for some time.
There was also a note about GIO (the GtkFileChooser).
I interpreted that as suggesting the cause of the crash might have been attributed to the save dialog as opposed Inkscape itself.
Unfortunately, all this equates to a huge
There appears to be nothing specifically pointing to Manjaro (or Arch-based distributions) as being a contributor. However, allow time for others to respond in case anything else comes to light.
Otherwise, I’d suggest opening a new issue upstream:
Cheers.

You are very meticulous in your research for solutions, I really appreciate it. I will wait, in the hope that a solution will be quickly resolved by the developers
In that case you’ll want to monitor the Inkscape GitLab site, which will no doubt become tedious. Creating a new issue might prompt some renewed interest in finding the cause and a solution.
Remember, Manjaro doesn’t develop Inkscape; many applications are simply inherited from ArchLinux, who in turn receive code directly from the respective developers; Inkscape, in this case.
I hope you find a solution.
Cheers.

Years ago I was looking for a replacement for Inkscape because of the memory issues you describe. It is very sluggish when you have huge projects. The program I found was outstanding in terms of memory management and gobbled up projects Inkscape almost could not open. What I found was http://www.xaraxtreme.org/
The good news is that it is in the AUR: AUR (en) - xaralx-bin
There are no comments on the AUR page since since 2017, so hopefully it should still build okay. I couldn’t test it on my own machine as it has 32-bit dependencies, and I don’t have the multilib repo active on my mini-PC as I don’t use any apps requiring 32-bit libraries.
I did download the source from the Xara Xtreme site & all the files are dated August 11, 2006. However, the version in the AUR says that it is a development release, so it may be more up-to-date. Nevertheless, its compatibility with a modern GNU/Linux system probably can’t be guaranteed.
Karbon is an alternative to Inkscape. Perhaps the export functionality will suffice as a substitute until a workaround (or fix) is found for Inkscape.
Karbon is part of KDE’s Calligra suite of applications, and fairly lightweight . It’s the only worthwhile alternative I can think of that’s still being developed.
sudo pacman -Syu calligra
Cheers.
on my part. You might take some consolation from the fact that you’re apparently not alone:
