Text doesn't work after last update

Support and Advice General Questions

Hi,
I’m using krita on Nobara OS, after the last update when i try to add text to an image the interface just freezes and nothing responds anymore(it doesn’t crash out right it just stays there doing nothing). When i used this in the past it worked. currently i’m getting pass this by using a plugin to generate speech bubbles (Rogudator’s speech bubble generator).

any advice would be appreciated.

thanks

go to help → Show Krita log for bug reports. Go all the way down, then scroll up until you find a session entry that isn’t for Krita 5.2.13, that would be the last version you were using before this one.

However, I am suspecting it was a variation of 5.1, as Nobara is a Fedora based distro, which means it might be anything at all in the new text layout. That in turn means I actually need a backtrace.

Can you try to run krita in gdb? Like the following:

  1. in terminal “gdb krita”
  2. type “y” for yes if it asks you whether to use extra debug info, and “r” for run if it prompts you.
  3. do the things that make krita crash.
  4. when krita has crashed, the terminal window will say something along the lines of krita segmentation error, and then a line.
  5. At this point you will want to type “bt” for backtrace
  6. keep pressing enter until it’s done.
  7. Copy the whole backtrace and share.

Note that at best, I can see if the problem is a font or the like. And fix the bug of course, but I have no idea when it’ll trickle down to the Nobara repositories.

just in case someone reads this later:

I have krita installed via flatpack so I had to run it like

gdb --args flatpak run org.kde.krita

GDB OUTPUT:

I checked the logs as well. it seems i started with version 5.2.13
I deactivated the Rogudator’s Speech Bubble Generator plugin after seeing the log, the interface is no longer freezing now.
the plugin seems to have been the cause.
