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

 

Same here. Steps to reproduce:

* draw something (ellipse, rectangle, text, etc.)
* select it
* hit Ctrl+C


Result:

* pop for Postscript export
* error message:

You need to install the UniConvertor software.
For GNU/Linux: install the package python-uniconvertor.
For Windows: download it from
http://sk1project.org/modules.php?name=Products&product=uniconvertor
and install into your Inkscape's Python location


On some shapes, those two will be repeated a second time each, followed by an additional error message:

No paths where found. Please convert all objects you want to save into
paths.


Installing python-uniconvertor change the error message to

UniConvertor failed:

This makes Inkscape virtually unusable.

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

Status in Inkscape:
  Triaged
Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in inkscape package in Arch Linux:
  New
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)
  - Team Viewer (teamviewerd 10.0.36)

  -----

  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.
