Inkscape Memory issues
Posted: Thu Aug 02, 2018 11:42 pm
Hello,
As much as I love using Inkscape, for whatever reasons, while on Ubuntu, it's real hard to use because of freezes from using it. I don't see it using a lot of CPU, but it sucks the RAM completely dry. I've tried this on all 3 machines with dual boot Windows/Ubuntu, and 1 older machine with nothing but Ubuntu installed, and get the same results. Whenever I zoom or add layers, or just in general, use Inkscape, it starts hanging, freezing, greying out, and locking up.
So I opened Inkscape in Windows and don't get the same issues. I refuse to post it as a bug, because the bugs on this issue are backed up since 2006. Devs say they generally get around to checking/fixing bugs within 6 months... anyone who complains or reports bugs are generally asked to help contribute. Is this standard?
Any help will be apprecited.
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
