26GB of Inkscape dump core file; what I am supposed to do with?

[freezr]

Indeed, what I am supposed to do with:

ls -l | grep inkscape.core 
-rw-------   1 freezr freezr 28135227392 Aug 31 01:43 inkscape.core

Turn off core dumps?

If you want to fix the problem (that caused the crash and core dump), I think you start with

gdb inkscape.core

But might just be easier to delete it.

I perhaps had better to deactivate .core dumps...

But honestly, I don't even know Inkscape could generate a file so big. A file that size is totally unmanageable to send to anybody else.

if it's that size and you weren't handling a massive image set, my guess is that there's a leak on the code. The crash may have been because you ran out of memory and couldn't use swap?
but yeah, just opening that dump on gdb would be interesting...

see if it compresses well. entirely possible that it's got lots of zero-mapped space in.

pkg delete inkscape

pkg delete inkscape


Why should I delete Inkscape?

Why should I delete Inkscape?

I think he is joking.

I think he is joking.

Yes, but not 100%.

Without doubt I would do it if I were not dependent on it and just testing it.

Then I would begin learning to code postscript per hand.
