Inkscape crash when using Numix Icon Theme

sagrawalx commented 7 years ago

I was using the Numix Icon Theme on Xubuntu 16.04. Whenever I ran Inkscape (0.91) and hit "Layer > Layers...", Inkscape would repeatedly crash with the error message "Inkscape has encountered an internal error and will close now" (see screenshot).

inkscape-error

Running Inkscape from command line, I saw the following error message.

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Gtk::IconThemeError'

Emergency save activated!
Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now.
If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org
with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it.
Aborted (core dumped)

This led me to change my icon theme, and then there were no errors. In fact, none of the other icon themes I have installed led to this error, so my guess is that this is an issue with Numix?

In case it helps, gdb gives the following output.

@wa4557 Guessing this is something to do with the Inkscape icons we've added :/

hlechner commented 7 years ago

@Foggalong have you found a way to reproduce the issue?

No crash to me.

@sagrawalx could help me to reproduce this bug? It didn't crash to me.

I would like to ask you some questions, if you can please give me this info so I can dig into this bug.

Have you tried with icon theme Numix (base iconset) or maybe Numix Circle or Numix Square? if you have tried just with Circle or Square, could you please try the Numix only?
Have you tried to run the Inkscape in a different DM? (if you use xfce for example, try a gnome if possible)
Could you create a new user or just switch to a different one and execute the Inkscape to test it? maybe it is related to a specific configuration of your user.
Could you provide where did you install the Numix icon theme? (if via git or repo for example) and also the version of installed one.

Foggalong commented 7 years ago

@sagrawalx I've not managed to reproduce this either :/

ptizzy commented 7 years ago

I am able to reproduce this on Arch, running Inkscape 0.92. I was using Numix Circle, but switched to Numix to test. I updated to the latest Numix icon theme from Git. It fails in Gnome and Openbox, under my normal user, and a fresh user account.

bilelmoussaoui commented 7 years ago

@Foggalong I believe this must be reported upstream. Having those icons on Numix theme shouldn't harm in any way the way Inkscape works :( anyway, can anyone of you guys try using the dev version of inkscape https://inkscape.org/en/download/development-versions/? Anyway it seems to be already reported upstream https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1639605 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1659193

Foggalong commented 7 years ago

I've posted a link to that issue here to see if we can have a conversation with the devs to try and source the actual problem. Will leave this issue open until we find out if it's a problem on our end or theirs :)

hlechner commented 7 years ago

Hello @ptizzy thanks for this information!

I'm also an Arch Linux user using these themes:

I've tried the Numix icon theme from the repo and also the git version

I'm running it through Gnome 3.22 and using Inkscape 0.92, do you have any insight on how I can reproduce it? no error at all from here, and reproduce the issue is the key to solve it.

If you have no idea maybe some package from AUR? custom version of something that I'm using stock and that's why i can't reproduce it.

This following command can provide the packages installed locally (AUR packages will be listed there):

pacman -Qm

or

yaourt -Qm

ptizzy commented 7 years ago

@hlechner I wonder if this might be somehow related to the fact that I was running infinality. I have moved over to official freetype2, but I'm wondering if there isn't some lingering configuration somewhere causing problems.

Adwaita and Gnome seem to be the only icon themes that work. Using the Numix icon theme, Inkscape crashes if I try to open any dialog (Layers, Align & Distribute, Export to Bitmap, etc). Using Elementary seems to be ok with most dialogs, but crashes when opening the Export to Bitmap dialog. When I open Inkscape, using Numix or Elementary, several of the icons in the toolbar don't display correctly, and don't fallback to gnome, but display as a generic icon. I also noticed this with several icons in the Align & Distribute dialog.

I also tried Papirus icon theme with similar results.

After digging around, I found this post, which suggests infinality is causing the problem (by breaking harfbuzz): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=223031

I double-checked to make sure I had proper versions of fontconfig and freetype2. Then, based on https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/52453, I ran /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache. I don't know if that is what solved it or not, but it seems to be all fine now.

hlechner commented 7 years ago

Thanks @ptizzy to share your solution here!

It seems that will help different users with the same issue.

bilelmoussaoui commented 6 years ago

@Foggalong This should be closed as it has nothing to do with the icon theme :/ It's either a Gtk bug or an Inkscape one.
