Crash on Startup SegFault

Just an idea:

Are you maybe using KDE4 desktop with qtcurve theme?

If so, this could be the corresponding bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/43631 .
They also provide patched files for qtcurve in the discussion.

Nope Xfce 4.0

Just curious - did you install something like "some multilib 32 libs to run steam" on your local system by chance, or applied some other "hacks" to get Steam running?

In general, I'd recommend to ask in support locations specific for your distro - I'm quite certain this has nothing to do with Inkscape itself but all with your local system (or the distro's recent upgrades) - or if anything related to Inkscape, then with the binary packages of Inkscape provided for your current distro (which e.g. might require a rebuild after other system components had been upgraded).

On the other hand, there's e.g.
Bug #1139386 “Inkscape does not start after changing icon theme”
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1139386

which also has a message about '__strcmp_ssse3' (possibly a message from a exception handler?):

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000003bc8f3b16a in __strcmp_ssse3 () from /lib64/libc.so.6

That report is rather dated (no updates from the reporter either): we do not know how to reproduce that crash (the explanation given by the reporter did not allow to reproduce it on other systems) -> the cause of that particular segfault on launch is not determined, and might be (but does not have to be) related to e.g. a broken gtk icon theme installation.

Which GTK+ theme and which GTK+ icon theme do you use under Xfce?

Haven't changed theme still using Adwaita, also Gimp and all other programs
working like normal

Any chance you could create a full backtrace with gdb [*], upload it to one of the many pastebins out there, and share the link here?

[*] ideally with debug symbols for Inkscape installed, if the distro offers this for packages like inkscape.

Here's what I get when I run backtrace with gdb...don't see any debug
symbols for inkscape on this distro

Not sure that's helpful

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.
