Do not post images of text! You can surely copy paste, can you?

[HowTo] Find system information

Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ Rather than providing the commercial reference of a computer or piece of hardware, it is usually better to directly ask the system to describe itself. On top of saving time to everyone, this also often provides more details, including something specific to the running system. Below is a (not exhaustive) list of commands for retrieving system information. If you don’t know how to use those commands, or how to provide them to support, see: [HowTo] Use the terminal / TTY …

[HowTo] Request support

Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ Strong of its many members, the Manjaro support forum can provide you help whenever you have an issue with your Manjaro installation. But in order to work efficiently, we shall also ask you to follow three major points. Provide context Simply signaling an issue is rarely enough to understand how it occurred. It is thus important to provide details on how it happened: Detail prior actions leading to the issue. List solutions and guides you already tried, with links when…

Delete ~/.config/inkscape folder and see if it works.

I forgot to mention that, I’ve already tried it, but unfortunately it doesn’t work either.

Also delete ~/.config/gtk-3.0

[Inko]

Great, thank you very much! That helped and solved the problem. Thank you very much!

[Inko]

Ok, unfortunately it doesn’t really seem to be the solution. It worked exactly once and now I have the same problem again. And the folder ~/.config/gtk-3.0 has not been created again so that I could delete it.

If you use a drawing tablet, see https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4649

[Inko]

Thanks, that fixed the problem, it was actually due to the connected graphics tablet. I hope that the error will be fixed quickly. Thank you very much.
