Regular Meeting
by doctormo＠gmail.com 12 Jul '21

12 Jul '21

Dear all, As discussed at the last video meeting, the committee/board did a poll to decide if we wanted to continue doing regular video meetings. There was a unanimous vote to continue (except for ted who had to leave before this discussion) and I was asked to put together the details. Generally people favoured a non-weekend date, any date so long as it had enough notice. This is the new calendar entry, it's set to the second Thursday each month, at 16:00 UTC https://inkscape.org/cals/event/30/ I've also created a room on big blue button. The aim will be to record each of the meetings and I can post the recording to the right places (probably here on the mailing list). The general agenda is to come together to talk about what we need to do next for the project. We'll still post all votes to the mailing list, so anyone who misses the meeting won't be left out. But we'll hopefully be trying to work through some of the tasks we have in the team going forwards. Thanks for everyone's input for configuring this meeting. Best Regards, Martin Owens

inkscape-1.1: exit during startup, problem loading svgs
by Thomas Klausner 08 Jun '21

08 Jun '21

Hi! I've tried updating the pkgsrc package from 1.0.2 (working fine) to 1.1. It builds and installs fine, but during startup complains about svg files and exits, without display a window. (org.inkscape.Inkscape:66): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:54:36.278: Could not load image 'resources/template_about.svg': Couldn’t recognize the image file format for file “/usr/pkg/share/inkscape/ui/resources/template_about.svg” (and many more like these, then ending with) Gtk:ERROR:gtkiconhelper.c:494:ensure_surface_for_gicon: assertion failed (error == NULL): Failed to load /usr/pkg/share/inkscape/icons/hicolor/scalable/actions/image-missing.svg: Unrecognized image file format (gdk-pixbuf-error-quark, 3) Bail out! Gtk:ERROR:gtkiconhelper.c:494:ensure_surface_for_gicon: assertion failed (error == NULL): Failed to load /usr/pkg/share/inkscape/icons/hicolor/scalable/actions/image-missing.svg: Unrecognized image file format (gdk-pixbuf-error-quark, 3) gdk-pixbuf has SVG support, I tested this with: gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer /usr/pkg/share/inkscape/icons/hicolor/scalable/actions/image-missing.svg image-missing.png which successfully creates a png file. Now I'm not quite sure where else to look for the root of the problem. The pkgsrc files for 1.0.2 are here: https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/blob/trunk/graphics/inkscape/Makefile The files for 1.1 are here: https://wip.pkgsrc.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=pkgsrc-wip.git;a=blob;f=inkscap… Please let me know if you have any ideas what might be missing or wrong. Thank you! (I've filed https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/5111 about this and Nathan Lee suggested I should ask on the mailing list about this.) Cheers, Thomas

Issue with Inkscape 1.1 snap and REALHOME / getent
by Douglas Paul 07 Jun '21

07 Jun '21

Hello, I recently had a machine running Ubuntu auto-update its snap to version 1.1. In this version, there seems to be a new mechanism to determine the default config path using getent that is not functional on my system. Some particularities that I have: 1) passwd / groups of users come from a Samba AD using sssd 2) home directories are mounted on NFS The problem that I see is that the REALHOME variable is not set correctly, so it tries to look for the configuration in /.config/inkscape. This is what I see when launching: ==== $ LANGUAGE=en_CA:en inkscape /bin/bash: /home/doug/.bashrc: Permission denied /bin/bash: /home/doug/.bashrc: Permission denied /bin/bash: /home/doug/.bashrc: Permission denied Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused ** Message: 08:43:39.229: Cannot create profile directory /.config/inkscape. ** Message: 08:43:39.229: Inkscape will run with default settings, and new settings will not be saved. ** (inkscape:3501254): WARNING **: 08:43:39.395: Could not create directory '/.config/inkscape' ** (inkscape:3501254): WARNING **: 08:43:39.396: Could not create extension error log file '/.config/inkscape/extension-errors.log' ** (inkscape:3501254): WARNING **: 08:43:39.476: Fonts dir '/.config/inkscape/fonts' does not exist and will be ignored. ==== So, the first thing I tried is to add the following in the snap's apparmor profile: #include <abstractions/nameservice> #include <abstractions/bash> And this got rid of the bashrc access errors (which likely aren't fatal, anyway), and I could get a proper result with this: aa-exec -p snap.inkscape.inkscape getent passwd $UID So, I thought this would work. However, it still doesn't... With careful use of ctrl-Z and attaching strace (since it seems you can't strace directly), I was able to see that the /etc/nsswitch.conf being used by inkscape is coming from inside a chroot or otherwise remapped by snap, and it does not use the system /etc/nsswitch.conf. It looks exactly like this issue: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/no-sssd-support-in-snaps-nsswitch-conf/10412/12 It seems like the only way around this problem is to use NSCD as a proxy, which is generally not recommended, it seems, but might be the only choice I would have. (Using unscd does seem to work, even with 0 cache ttls -- so I think this should be safe) All this to say -- would it be possible to have a fallback in the environment to use the old behaviour (was it to use $HOME as REALHOME?) in case the calls to getent fail? Or, at the least, it should be documented that using nscd/unscd is required when a different nsswitch.conf configuration is used. Thanks, -- Douglas Paul

Developer Team Budget
by Martin Owens 07 Jun '21

07 Jun '21

Dear Developer team, Thank you to everyone who made the developer meeting today; we talked a lot about what the budget should look like from the developer team. I have comprised the ideas here which I will be bringing to the next board meeting to be held on June 4th 2021 ( https://inkscape.org/cals/event/2/) Current items to be requested immediately: * The Developer team requests a General Administrator who can take care of many of the organisational tasks which we currently struggle to. This is deemed more important than any funding for specific features. I'd like to invite everyone to join me for a meeting to flesh out what this would look like, we'll use previous work as a base and work from there. Please come to BigBlueButton next Sunday 30th May at 17:00UTC (https://inkscape.org/cals/event/25/) to make sure our proposal is detailed enough. * We would like to budget $5k on macOS speed problems; this is to be spent on analysis first, and then solutions second. The whole developer team recognises how dire the situation is with René specifically saying that without a fix we should not release for macOS in the future. Future budget requests which we do not have a consensus for, or details are missing: * CMYK support; Tav would like this, developers feel it's not important enough. A user study would be useful to know for sure. * PathFinder; Taking over, or working with the Linux foundation for their Rust based pathfinder is a great way to bring GPU rendering to Inkscape. Marc is to contact the linux foundation and Linkmauve about collaboration or taking over the project. * ARM Machine for René; If we continue to develop macOS, René will need one of the newer ARM based macOS machine which would be set up to do CI builds. Improving the ability to check and build testing builds for macOS. Thanks everyone for attending, we had quite a lot of the developer team there today and a lot of students so I feel good that we got to see a lot of different opinions. But let me know in this thread if you have details to add, or can't make the above meeting and want to make sure something is included. Best Regards, Martin Owens Developer Team Hat

TODAY: Meeting; hiring an administration position in Inkscape
by Martin Owens 30 May '21

30 May '21

Hello everyone, We have scheduled today's meeting to discuss the specific details of hiring an administrator who can help organise the inkscape project. This is a budgeting request from the Developer Team to alleviate a lot of the stress from running the project and better organise. Starting Questions * Should they be familiar with the project? * They probably shouldn't not be a developer? * Should they be part time or full time? * Should we ask the SFC to fill the role for us? The goal is to flesh out the request so we can offer the board a set of requirements and desires around what we (as the developer team) would like to have. Calendar: https://inkscape.org/cals/event/25/ Date/Time: TODAY, 1:00PM EDT (see above link for your local time) Video Link: https://digimedia1.r2.enst.fr/b/mar-9wm-vj2 Best Regards, Martin Owens Developer Hat

Re: Crash during Build - invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type ‘SPCurve’

Hi, I can confirm that gcc 7 appears to be too old to compile a recent Inkscape, sorry.
