    I've just installed InkscapeΒ  on KDE Neon. I'm trying to use the interpolate extension, but whatever I do, I keep getting this error :

    If you're using an appimage, you're experiencing https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1306 . You can try using a flatpak/snap (or ppa version I think?). You can also extract the appimage and try to play around with the AppRun environment (if someone works out a fix, it'd be helpful to post in the linked bug report)

    Thanks for your answers guys.

    I indeed use the Appimage version. I don't really have time to understand right now how to fix it myself, fortunately I'm not in a hurry for this job, was just playing around with the new Inkscape for now, Idk if there is a PPA version nor where to find it, so I guess I'll wait for the devs to fix it for everyone once for all.

    Thanks again o/
