Same bug running Debian buster/sid and Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06).
In my case strace showed that Inkscape tried to access a file on a NFS mount via stat() that failed as I was on travel / not in my home LAN. The UI behaviour was that Inkscape froze and htop showed one of the Inkscape threads being in state "D" - uninterruptible sleep (usually IO). Having a quick peek in the source code - /src/ui/interface.cpp has a function sp_ui_build_dyn_menus() which looks promising to debug - let's hope I find some time to compile Inkscape and debug soon... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/785701 Title: Inkscape freezes at opening To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/785701/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
