Steps to reproduce: 1. Start Inkscape. 2. Press toolbar icon for opening a file. Then a popup with the message "Inkscape encountered an internal error and will close now" appears and inkscape prints the following lines on console: | 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. As I mentioned above the same error appears when I try to save a file by clicking the save button in the toolbar. I tried to run inkscape via gdb but gdb did not find debugging symbols for the ubuntu version of inkscape. I also did not find a package called inkscape-dbg.
