First, if you have installed Inkscape please remove it with
sudo apt remove lib2geom1.1.0 inkscape --purge
sudo snap remove inkscapeNow, install the inkscape.org Ubuntu PPA for inkscape and install inkscape, one line at a time please:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:inkscape.dev/stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install inkscapeNow, start inkscape so it can create the necessary config files, then close inkscape before moving on to the installation of inkstitch. Run the following command next:
wget https://github.com/inkstitch/inkstitch/releases/latest/download/inkstitch_2.2.0_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i inkstitch_2.2.0_amd64.debIf you get a broken pipe error when trying to install inkscape dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe):
sudo apt remove lib2geom1.1.0
I have installed inkscape and inkstitch on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS however i am encountering an issue with inkstitch. Inkscape is not installed with snap and inkstitch appears in the extension menu. When i first try to use the params for a path, Ubuntu reports an internal error and will not open the params dialog. All other menu options under inkstitch appear to work properly. For example, the simulator / Realistic Preview works as expected. Other menu options work as well. All except the params, arguably the most important option. Have you experienced any similar issues or recommendations to solve the issue? Thanks.
I haven’t had that. Did you use the inkscape.org ppa for installing inkscape by chance? What version of inkscape do you have?
i have inkscape 1.1.2 and have tried several versions but get the same result. I installed inkscape using ‘sudo apt install inkscape’ and installed inkstitch by download the deb file and installed using the ubuntu software package. I have tried all versions of inkscape and inkstitch hoping i would have success but not yet. I have no problems using windows 10 version. The Ubuntu is installed as the only operating system on the pc. Using windows version on a different computer.
It’s possible that your problem is because you’re running an older version of inkscape on ubuntu, 1.1.2. Try the newest version 1.2.2 of inkscape and see if that fixes it. You can update inkscape on ubuntu with…
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:inkscape.dev/stableAnd then just update, upgrade as normal
Dale,
I have updated inkscape to version1.2.2 and still experiencing the same effect. When i select the params option the screen flashes for a brief moment and returns back to normal. I am using inkstitch v2.2.0 and all other options in inkstitch appear to work properly. Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Randy
I’m sorry to say I don’t know what the problem is. You could post on the github inkstitch project to see if the devs can help. I’ve posted there a few times and they’re great folks. https://github.com/inkstitch/inkstitch/issues
FYi. I found a solution. I had to install an earlier version of Inkstitch v2.1.2. Apparently the most recent version has some issues with Wayland (whatever that is). But it now works. I think that inkstitch developers are working on a solution. Thanks for all your help.
