Public bug reported: Export png fails with "Invalid cross-device link" if /tmp is mount as tmpfs.
I have stored https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/ce518a18-CoF-2022_solid+O.svg as file /home/user/CoF-2022_solid+O.svg. I open inkscape on the command line with inkscape CoF-2022_solid+O.svg. I select export png and try to export to my home directory. A file of length 0 is created. The console shows an error message: "boost::filesystem::copy_file: Invalid cross-device link: "/tmp/ink_ext_CF77T1", "/home/user/temp/cof.png" The following mounts exist: /dev/mapper/vgkubuntu-home on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime) zfsdt@workstation5:~/temp$ mount | grep '\/tmp' tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,relatime,inode64) So /tmp and /home are actually separate devices. ln -s /home/user/temp/cof.png /tmp/cof.png works fine. ln /home/user/temp/cof.png /tmp/cof.png fails with ln: failed to create hard link '/tmp/cof.png' => '/home/user/temp/cof.png': Invalid cross-device link Exporting to /tmp works. Inkscape should not create hardlinks on /tmp as /tmp typically is a tmpfs. ** Affects: inkscape (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to inkscape in Ubuntu.
