Thanks to Mark Roth suggestion, I ran "strace inkscape" from the terminal, and found that Inkscape was stuck in stat-ing an unrelated file (a .csv file I'd previously opened in Geany) that was located on a computer previously connected to the network. As the computer was switched off, Inkscape was stuck trying to stat an unavailable file.
Anyone have any ideas what library is trying to stat these files? It's obviously nothing to do with Inkscape's file management (based on the fact that the list of files to stat are mostly unrelated to my Inkscape activity). I believe it may be the same library that is used in gThumb, as I've found gThumb freezes on startup when doing the same thing. Perhaps this is a Zeitgeist problem? -- 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
