[SOLVED] Inkscape segfault glibmm

Hi!

Solution: An update to 

glibmm 2.66.3-3

solved the issue.

Inkscape crashes for me when I start it - it worked fine just last week, so perhaps a recent update broke something.

The problem seems to be:

Core was generated by `/usr/bin/inkscape'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
#0  0x00007fb32446abe4 in Glib::get_unichar_from_std_iterator(__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<char const*, std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > >) () from /usr/lib/libglibmm-2.4.so.1

Please bear with me and help me, if you wish, to debug this. I have no experience with this, but want to be as helpful as I can.

I am running

$ uname -a
Linux desktop 5.17.5-zen1-1-zen #1 ZEN SMP PREEMPT Wed, 27 Apr 2022 20:56:14 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Currently I am running the KDE desktop, but GTK is also installed (MATE desktop).

When was inkscape installed (and that day it worked)?

$ cat /var/log/pacman.log | grep inkscape
[2022-04-29T08:51:42+0200] [ALPM] installed inkscape (1.1.2-2)
[2022-04-29T08:51:42+0200] [PACKAGEKIT] installed inkscape (1.1.2-2)

Installation of Inkscape + all subsequent updates since then from pacman.log

snip

Inkscape version

$ pacman -Q inkscape
inkscape 1.1.2-2

Using the official package (I never built it myself)

$ which inkscape
/usr/bin/inkscape

Re: [SOLVED] Inkscape segfault glibmm

Downgrading glibmm to 2.66.2-1 as stated in https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/6904 solves the issue for me.

Re: [SOLVED] Inkscape segfault glibmm

You have to rebuild inkscape to make it fit for the glibmm package.

Re: [SOLVED] Inkscape segfault glibmm

Thank you, everybody!

I see 

glibmm 2.66.3-3

in the repo's and will install it tomorrow and report back. It has already been confirmed to work, though.

I should have looked at the Inkscape bug tracker..

Thanks again!
