Same here. Steps to reproduce: * draw something (ellipse, rectangle, text, etc.) * select it * hit Ctrl+C
Result: * pop for Postscript export * error message: You need to install the UniConvertor software. For GNU/Linux: install the package python-uniconvertor. For Windows: download it from http://sk1project.org/modules.php?name=Products&product=uniconvertor and install into your Inkscape's Python location On some shapes, those two will be repeated a second time each, followed by an additional error message: No paths where found. Please convert all objects you want to save into paths. Installing python-uniconvertor change the error message to UniConvertor failed: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/uniconvertor", line 13, in <module> uniconv_run() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/uniconvertor/__init__.py", line 83, in uniconv_run from app.io import load File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/uniconvertor/app/__init__.py", line 69, in <module> from conf.configurator import Configurator File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/uniconvertor/app/conf/configurator.py", line 11, in <module> from app.events import connector File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/uniconvertor/app/__init__.py", line 69, in <module> from conf.configurator import Configurator File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/uniconvertor/app/conf/configurator.py", line 13, in <module> from sk1libs.utils.fs import gethome ImportError: No module named sk1libs.utils.fs This makes Inkscape virtually unusable. -- 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/418242 Title: Incorrect call to output plugins (with persistent error message) on copy Status in Inkscape: Triaged Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in inkscape package in Arch Linux: New Status in inkscape package in Debian: Confirmed Status in Gentoo Linux: Unknown Bug description: UPDATE: After further investigation it turned out to be a problem related to the copy operation, in combination with a totally unrelated running Java program (FreeRapid). Reading some followups and other bug reports, it seems to be caused by the new clipboard management system (introduced as a fix for the bug #170185), as reported in bug #421597 So far these applications are known to randomly trigger an input/output extension (on linux): - FreeRapid Downloader - jDownloader - xfce4-clipman-plugin 1.1.3 - Netbeans - xfce4-settings-helper (Xfce 4.8) - Team Viewer (teamviewerd 10.0.36) ----- The original report was this: I'm getting this error when I try to edit a text object created previously with a font that's not available in this system. It looks like Inkscape has problems to resolve the font substitution and displays the error message in a popup window that keeps appearing again and again, leaving no other remedy than closing inkscape and reopening it. The error message is attached.
