[Bug 2125530] [NEW] MyPaint crashes upon attempting to paint right after opening it

 

Public bug reported:

Upon opening MyPaint, I attempt to paint with the default brush, and the
program crashes immediately. The dmesg had this message:

```
[156358.012752] mypaint[473301]: segfault at 10 ip 0000000000586646 sp 00007e875db4c9e0 error 4 in python3.12[420000+2e3000] likely on CPU 0 (core 0, socket 0)

```

Then I run MyPaint from the command line, and I see, when it crashes:

```

```

Is this a Wayland problem? Would MyPaint work with Xorg?
