SUGGESTION TO GET OUT OF RABBIT HOLE OF CONSTANT PINTA CRASHES
Anyone to get into this crashing problems I strongly suggest to do the following:
1. Check Pinta version. Open Terminal and type in:
pinta --version
2. If version 1.6 is displayed, you are using 6 years old Pinta version. Pinta 1.7 was released more then a year ago, but sadly 6 years old Pinta version is still packaged in all of the recent Ubuntu releases (20.10, 21.04 and 21.10). I suggest to remove Pinta deb package completely:
sudo apt purge pinta
If using some other Linux distribution, check Linux distribution command to remove installed package.
3. Install Pinta 1.7 from snap package:
sudo snap install pinta
Why I suggest to install Pinta 1.7 from snap?
a) Snap packages bound Pinta program all of the dependencies into single package completely independent from Ubuntu version and completely independent from any software installed on Ubuntu distribution like Mono versions etc that is the most likely candidate for crashes. If you are using some other Linux distribution, then you need to install snapd package before step 3 above is possible. See details (there is one single command): https:/
b) I am using Pinta 1.7 snap package for more then a year and very little to none serious problems.
c) Pinta 1.7 snap package is regularly updated by snap maintainer, so any new fixes in stable branch get released you get updates and so massively reducing potential problems.
If you prefer Flatpack instead of Snap, there is also flatpack version of Pinta. See instruction how to install flatpack: https:/
