Inkscape crashes way too often

C0n57an71n · 1 September 2020 07:49

Hello all!
First of all, big thanks to the community for this amazing distro.

I’m experiencing some unexpected crashes in Inkscape without any reason (happens more when using Fill and Stroke) and a strange behavior (Height is hidden somewhere under an arrow and you have no option to set it, just to say one). The message says that Inkscape has encountered an internal error and it needs to close and that my work is saved in /home/user/Pictures. Is someone experiencing the same bugs? I had something similar in Ubuntu 20.04, but nothing on this scale. My swap file is more than enough, and the other resources. If it helps, I have recently installed the Gcodetools extensions, but this crashes happens when doing regular stuff, not even using extensions. The thing is that these problems makes Inkscape almost unusable.
Thanks for the answer, whatever might that be!

Hello,

I had no such issues nor on testing or unstable branch, but i use no extensions. Try starting inkscape without them, from terminal, and report back the errors you get from there.

Make sure your system is updated.
sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syyu

Here is it. I started from the terminal and when told me that it couldn’t find the extensions (which I think it supposed to do that) although the extensions are still in the menu.
The system is up to date, but I haven’t run pacman-mirrors, I’ll try that. Here’s the terminal output:

You still have the extensions there, and not sure if that influences or not the way your inkscape install works. My proposal, from terminal:
mv ~/.config/inkscape ~/.config/inkscape.BCK
that will backup your actual inkscape configuration and will be recreated once you start inkscape again, but without the extensions. Share that output again.
To have a proper formatted text, use ``` above and bellow that text when you share it here.

So, apparently there is on Reddit the same discussion around Inkscape. It’s a 3 months old post and it has to do with recent Inkscape upgrade , the 0.92 is still stable. They have reported on Arch this issue. At this point I don’t know if it’s Manjaro or Inkscape itself.

bogdancovaciu · 1 September 2020 09:01

I can’t reproduce your exact issue, so for sure is not something from our end. Indeed i prefer to use the older version for some tasks, but is not the installed one, is the appimage.

This file doesn’t exist on any of my installs
/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/close_curves.py
So, i don’t know where you get it from, but seems to keep pop-ing out in that output, and also pointing to your home directory of inkscape extensions …

C0n57an71n · 1 September 2020 09:09

I’m reinstalling it and see how it behaves. If is still the same I’ll open a bug ticket on the Inkscape site.
Thanks for your time. I’ll will post the solution (if any available) here, just in case somebody will face the same problem.

C0n57an71n · 1 September 2020 09:34

The extensions where there already, even Gcodetools appeared in the Extensions submenu before I installed it, even if the Gcodetools folder wasn’t present in /usr/share/inkscape/extensions,(I had to copy that myself since this is how it’s installed). Anyways, I have uninstalled, purged, reinstalled, but Inkscape behaves the same.
I will report this to Inkscape.
Thanks!

C0n57an71n · 1 September 2020 13:44

So… I managed, with the help from the GitHub guys, to find the culprit: apparently there seems to be a conflict between Wayland Session and the System Themes and Inkscape themes. The issue is solved in development.
To solve it:

I have changed my desktop from Gnome Modern to Traditional, disabled Wayland Session in Layout app, uninstalled Inkscape, purge, restart, reinstall Inkscape, open it, Edit/Preferences/Interface/Theme, choose first time the system theme and did a test with my file, choose then Adwaita Dark and did a test, no crash whatsoever, just a message right after the Inkscape is closed “Inkscape has encountered an internal error and it will close.”
So I think you can close this post!
