Uniconverter fails on copying an svg selection

[Richard Qian]

When I try to copy or cut a section of an SVG file, I get a couple of errors, of which one of them is shown as an attachment:
"No layers found"

"This extension [sk1saver] requires at least one non empty layer."

"UniConvertor failed:

Is there something at least I can do to resolve this problem, or will it need a patch?

Very likely another duplicate of
- Bug #418242 "Incorrect call to output plugins (with persistent error message) on copy"
  <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/418242>

Trigger in most cases is a custom clipboard manager (e.g. when using Xfce), or a (java-based) download manager. Other duplicates confirm the same issue when running Netbeans or OpenOffice at the same time as Inkscape.

There is no fix available at the moment - the current known workaround is e.g. to disable the clipboard monitoring of download helper apps.

I don't have any clipboard or download managers and the bug is still occuring. :(

[Emmanuel Ch. (eruyome)]

Does this when using matlab at the same time with inkscape on linux.

One of the weirdest bugs I have come across.

[OlehL (spvipit)]

I have this problem too.

My configuration:
Linux 3.2.0-4 amd64
Debian 7.8 (KDE 4.8.4)
Inkscape 0.48.3.1 r9886

The problem occurs when I copy a figure to the clipboard and at this point the program is running Netbeans.
Error messages appear cyclically as long as I do not copy to the clipboard any TEXT.

I don't know when problem appeared.
This is most likely since the last update (Debian 7.7 to 7.8).
I do not see in the history of Apper which packages have been updated, but I do know that the kernel has been updated.
Program Netbeans I don't update and before there were no problems.

I installed the program Uniconvertor (sudo aptitude install python-uniconvertor) and created manually folder ".uniconvertor" in my home directory.

Now i have other error :) Please look attached text:
