[Bug 785701] Re: Inkscape freezes at opening

 

Same bug running Ubuntu 16.04 and inkscape 0.91 r13725.

In my case this is due to a file that was in an autofs filesystem that
cannot be mounted.

The two workarounds described above solve the problem (~/.local/share
/recently-used.xbel and setting maxrecentdocuments=0 in
~/.config/inkscape/preferences.xml).

  Inkscape freezes at opening

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: inkscape

  I use Ubuntu 11.04 classic. Very often Inkscape freezes at opening, even if empty. We have the same problem in Ubuntu 10.04. Since I hadn't noticed it up to recently (1 month or so) it's possible that it is due to a modification in another package than Inkscape, for instance a library. But Im' not an intensive user of Inkscape.
  Steps to reproduce the problem: choose in the general menu Applications → Graphics → "Inskape Vector Graphics Editor".
  What happens: Inkscape is launched but, often clicking any button has no effect, resizing the window doesn't resize the inside. After a while, Inkscape's window is greyished and, if I close it, I first get a "The window 'New document 1 - Inkscape' is not responding." message. Relaunching Inkscape never solves the issue. Login out and in sometimes solves it, sometimes not.
  What is expected to happen: that Inkscape respond to clicks.
