Krita Flatpack crashes (fixed now) when opening a file dialogue

SteffenD · March 20, 2024, 1:25pm

Hi there,

I’m using Krita 5.2.2 installed via Flatpak on Linux Mint 21.3.
Today it started crashing / closing on me as soon as I open a file browser dialogue, e.g. when using “File > Open” or “Layer > Import > Import Layer”.
The error message looks like this:

(krita:2): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 14:01:03.051: No GSettings schemas are installed on the system

The Appimage version runs fine. I’d prefer the Flatpak installation though, it ran absolutely fine before.

EDIT: Dragging and dropping images to add them as layers or opening them works fine with the Flatpak version, too. It’s just the File Browser that crashes.

There’s a bug report matching this here: 484060 – The Flatpak version of Krita 5.2.2 crashes when I try to use the "Save as" option
(As noted there, the Appimage is the only offically supported version of Krita on Linux, this issue should be reported to the Flatpak’s maintainers.)

Do you have Configure Krita->General->Miscellaneous->Enable native file dialogs enabled? If so, try disabling it.

Thanks a lot for the quick response.
The description of the bug you sent matches perfectly fine with what I’m getting here. I will investigate further over there.

I already had the hope that using native file dialogues could band-aid that problem but sadly to no avail. Same crash. But at least I’m not alone and I hope a fix is on the way.

Thanks again.

Started having exactly the same problem with Flatpak version. You can not Export and Save either. And i really need it to finish work …

Hello @SreckoM and welcome to the forum

Have you tried following the advice given earlier in this topic?

Hello,

I have Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon. Krita version (Krita (flatpak) 5.2.2)

Krita (Flatpak) closes as soon as I select “save as”.

The programme starts without any problems. Loading an image file is also no problem.

This problem only started yesterday. Presumably this has to do with an update.

If I install the normal (not flatpak / system package) Krita, “save as” works again without any problems. However, Krita is set to American English and cannot be changed. Neither in Krita itself under “switch application language”, nor the system-wide changes to the language settings under Settings → Language (in Linux itself) work here.

To test whether this has to do with admin rights, I wanted to open Krita via the terminal. But only the normal Krita works here. Krita (flatpak) cannot be found there.

On my laptop, which I haven’t updated since about January, Krita 5.2.2 still works with “save as” without any problems.

Does this possibly have to do with KDE?

Here is my error message:

Hello @Humboldt and welcome to the forum

I’ve moved your post to a more appropriate topic. You initially posted in a topic about a problem on Windows.

Please read the posts in this topic. It seems to be a Flatpack problem.
Try using the appimage.

Humboldt · March 22, 2024, 9:46am

Hello,

Unfortunately, your suggestion did not work for me.

AhabGreybeard · March 22, 2024, 10:01am

Have you tried using the appimage?

SteffenD · March 22, 2024, 11:21am

The Appimage works, but I still wait for a Flatpak fix, because I don’t want to migrate all plugins and settings etc.

I received a notification from another place where users experience the same crash and the fix is here elements/components/glib.bst: fix manifest syntax (!18580) · Merge requests · freedesktop-sdk / freedesktop-sdk · GitLab
I don’t know when it will be merged or when we’ll receive the updates.

SteffenD · March 23, 2024, 8:45am

And it’s working again

Krita 5.2.2 crashes when I try to use the "Save as" option

Hi, I saw that some Flatpak runtimes were updated yesterday and since then Krita… 5.2.2 crashes when I try to use the "Save as" option. Even the "Save" option crashes the application if I try to save from a blank project. I use Fedora Silverblue 39 with GNOME 45.5 and the Wayland session. I didn't see the same behaviour in other KDE apps like Kdenlive and Okular, so it seems specify of Krita. I don't know what runtimes are used for Krita Flatpak. If you give me more instructions I can follow them. I share what I get booting the app from the terminal. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Krita 5.2.2 Flatpak. 2. Use the "Save as" option or try to "Save" from a new project. 3. You see that the app crashes.

Back to work…

Perfect. Thanks all.
