textext: KDE Neon: stopped working with update to Ubuntu 22.10 [solved]

Hi,

first of all, thank you for developing this extension. It is really useful!

I have updated my system from Ubuntu 22.04 to 22.10 and texText has stopped working. When I write a formula and type preview or save, it gets stucked and at some point raises the error window: “main.py” is not responding.

I am running inkscape 1.2 with textext-1.8.2. I have tried removing .config/textext and .config/inkscape/extensions/textex and installing again with python setup.py, but it does not work.

I would be very grateful if you could give me some insight about the problem. Do not hesitate to ask me a more detailed report.

Thanks!

For someone running accross this issue, here are the steps for the workaround:

  1. Download two packages:
  1. Install them: sudo dpkg -i gir1.2-poppler-0.18_22.02.0-2ubuntu0.1_amd64.deb libpoppler-glib8_22.02.0-2ubuntu0.1_amd64.deb
  2. Mark them so that they don’t get updated: sudo apt-mark hold gir1.2-poppler libpoppler-glib8

I was able to solve this issue by downgrading libpoppler-glib8: sudo apt install libpoppler-glib8=22.02.0-2ubuntu0.1 Yeah! 😉
