Gimp and Inkscape Segfaulting [SELF SOLVED]

kmason · 2010-07-24 03:05:17

After today, probably from an update, both GIMP and Inkscape segfault. Inkscape won't launch because of this, and GIMP cannot open SVGs or save as PNG (probably other formats too), without segfaulting and giving up (though it doesn't quit because of this.

I looked in dmesg, and here's what I got:

Inkscape

inkscape[15380]: segfault at 229d000 ip 00007f7f405587b8 sp 00007fff70580810 error 4 in libX11.so.6.3.0[7f7f404fe000+137000]

GIMP

gimp-2.6[12670]: segfault at fda000 ip 00007f27821de7b8 sp 00007fff66e92ae0 error 4 in libX11.so.6.3.0[7f2782184000+137000]

all i can say is its not widespread. i tried inkscape and it did run here.

could be a plugin from aur that needs a rebuild?

I wish it was that easy, but I don't have any plugins, and I'm using the versions from the repos.

Reinstall libx11 and see if it helps.

Nope, didn't work - I did the following steps, and it didn't help:

# pacman -Rd libx11
# pacman -S libx11
# reboot

Although, this did start happening after I removed some gnome related Graphical Applications in favor of CLI or generic ones (including switching gnome-power-manager for ACPID and gnome-screensaver for xscreensaver). Would that have anything to do with it?

Unlikely. Were there any upgrades to your graphic drivers recently?

Nope, I don't think so at least. I'm not logged into my Linux Partition though, so I can't double check now, but I will later.

Edit: Nope, xf86-video-intel hasn't even been upgraded once since it was installed on the 14th.

UPDATE! It appears that Imagemagick broke. When I did the following commands, GIMP and Inkscape both work again:

# pacman -Rd imagemagick
# pacman -S imagemagick
