Same bug here. strace inkscape showed that the problem was a stat() of file on an nfs share that was not available.
The workaround by "Cyril Soler (csoler-users)" to set maxrecentdocuments to 0 in the file ~/.config/inkscape/preferences.xml solved the problem here. -- 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
