[Bug 418242] Re: Incorrect call to output plugins (with persistent error message) on copy

 

How annoying!  Ubuntu 14.04 32 bit with Gnome environment, running
Inkscape 0.48.4 from the official Ubuntu repository together with
Netbeans 8.0.2 is  a total bummer.

It even spoiled the system so much, then a following apt-get update took
ages to read packages, because the system OS cache was totally full. Had
to echo 3 into /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches to get to back to normality.

To reproduce:
- run Inkscape
- run Netbeans
- draw a text in Inkscape, press CTRL-C
- switch to Netbeans app

result:

at least 10 dialog boxes pop up, and until the clipboard is cleared more and more are coming.
Two types, one titled "Postscript" with various postscript settings, the other one without a title with 

1. a label saying:

Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed.  The
script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will
not be as expected.

2. and a read-only edit box saying:

UniConvertor failed:

Cannot list directory /home/username/.uniconvertor:[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/username/.uniconvertor'
ignoring it in font_path
Cannot list directory /home/username/.uniconvertor:[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/username/.uniconvertor'
ignoring it in font_path
I can't find font Sans. I'll use Slim instead
Fontsystem not yet implemented in UniConvertor. See /usr/share/doc/python-uniconvertor/README.Debian for more info

Confirming workaround: put something else to clipboard before switching
to Netbeans.

Urgent action is needed NOW so that no more than 1 dialog box will
appear with an option to tick

[  ] do not show more dialogs like this.

It's been for too long like this.

Title:
  Incorrect call to output plugins (with persistent error message) on
  copy

Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
  Triaged
Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in inkscape package in Debian:
  Confirmed
Status in Gentoo Linux:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  UPDATE: After further investigation it turned out to be a problem related to the copy operation, in combination with a totally unrelated running Java program (FreeRapid).
  Reading some followups and other bug reports, it seems to be caused by the new clipboard management system (introduced as a fix for the bug #170185), as reported in bug #421597

  So far these applications are known to randomly trigger an input/output extension (on linux):
  - FreeRapid Downloader
  - jDownloader
  - xfce4-clipman-plugin 1.1.3
  - Netbeans
  - xfce4-settings-helper (Xfce 4.8)

  -----

  The original report was this:
  I'm getting this error when I try to edit a text object created previously with a font that's not available in this system.
  It looks like Inkscape has problems to resolve the font substitution and displays the error message in a popup window that keeps appearing again and again, leaving no other remedy than closing inkscape and reopening it.

  The error message is attached.
