> Are we sure the bug was in Poppler? No. But there is no test case, nor AFAICT a known way to test under the same circumstances (which are in parts unknown - e.g. into which prefix was the user-compiled poppler version installed? which poppler version was inkscape trunk installed from PPA actually attempting to load?).
I was mistaken about stable Inkscape 0.91 though - the project does indeed offer 0.91 for 12.04 via PPA: https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/+archive/ubuntu/stable If the reporter still uses (K)Ubuntu 12.04, it might be worthwhile to undo any local poppler upgrades, install Inkscape 0.91 from PPA and retest PDF import, relying on poppler installed via package manager (i.e. the same version against which the PPA build is compiled). OTOH we do have similar reports against stable 0.91 (on newer distros) which are still open (it's a crash though instead of hang that also occurs even before the PDF import dialog is opened): bug #1584659 and duplicate bug #1584659 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to inkscape in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1324693 Title: Hang on import of pdf files Status in Inkscape: New Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Inkcsapce daily build (ppa) installed on Kubuntu 12.04 hangs evrytime while importing a pdf file. It does not depend on the file and the dialog to preview the file is not opened. The program just frezes. The output on the terminal is: (inkscape:3367): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_visible: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed I have poppler .26 installed (self compiled) and okular, kile (live preview of pdf), Scribus and GIMP (import pdf) working fine. I cant even compile inkscape with poppler 0.26 and I get a lot of errors (but this is not the same bug I think). Thanks for helping...
