Inkscape (sometimes) crashes on start up

Sometimes when opening, Inkscape crashes. It's not deterministic, but I'd say it fails to open 1 time every 5.

Running from the terminal I get the following error:

inkscape: ../nptl/pthread_mutex_lock.c:80: __pthread_mutex_cond_lock: Assertion `mutex->__data.__owner == 0' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

I tried to google it but I couldn't find anything definitive. Does anyone else experienced the same problem? Any advice?

Some sysinfo:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770S CPU @ 3.10GHz
Mem 16375868 / 3247948
GeForce GTX 660 with Nvidia drivers 334.21
primary disk is SSD
Inkscape 0.48.4 r9939 (Nov 30 2013)
Linux solo 3.13.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 7 22:47:48 CET 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Re: Inkscape (sometimes) crashes on start up

I've got the exact same computer configuration as you (is it an ASUS M51 ?) and I've got the same problem... I think there should not be any solution for now as inkscape v. 0.48 dates back from December 2012, so this is the kind of bug that happens sometimes... I think you should try inkscape-bzr from AUR in order to see if it still happens on newer code and then open a bug report on Arch bug tracker, precising if it still happens on the bzr compiled version, that would make re-packaging work easier if there's a need for some patch.

Re: Inkscape (sometimes) crashes on start up

thank you omer666 for your reply. So today I took the jump and installed inkscape-bzr. Unfortunately I'm experiencing the same issue. Very annoying especially because I use inkscape to convert from SVG to PNG from terminal.

PS: nope, it's not an Asus M51, it's self-built
