Setting the eraser size to 500 crashed my entire system

[5lood237]

I imported a large image, added a layer of a solid color, made it transparent, and then when I set the eraser size to 500, my system crashed. I tried doing this on my Ubuntu machine with GNOME, and it crashed too. Both logged me out after the crash.

Version: 1.7
Kernel: 5.6.19-2-MANJARO
DE: KDE 5.19.3

Which version of Mono is installed on your system, if you're not using the snap / flatpak package? ('mono --version' in a terminal)
Mono 6.10 fixes a number of crashes in Pinta, so I'm speculating this might be related.

Says it's version 6.8.0 (makepkg/1d0d939dc30 Mon 29 Jun 2020 01:21:28 PM -03)

Can you please add Mono 6.10 repository:
https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/#download-lin-ubuntu

Plenty of people are reporting problems because of older version of Mono and Pinta requiring newer one.

Please report back if this is a solution.

Okay, I have Mono version 6.10.0 (makepkg/5d03a6fe116 Wed 15 Jul 2020 03:01:56 PM -03) now, and I still have the same issue.

I haven't been able to reproduce this yet in my Linux Mint VM, although the cursor does get a bit laggy. What size of image are you opening?

[5lood237 (5lood237)]

I do experience the laggy mouse for a second or less before the entire system crashes.
Originally, I had a 2048x1440 image, but I am starting Pinta regularly with the default blank 800x600 white image, and immediately setting the eraser to 500 and it does the same thing. It seems like the size of the image does not matter.
I am using an Nvidia graphics card with the proprietary drivers, if that matters, with an Intel processor.
Is there a log file somewhere that might helpful?

[Cameron White (cameronwhite91)]

Yeah I'm wondering if it's something with the graphics driver, especially since it seems to kill your session.
Maybe there's something in the system logs (e.g. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxLogFiles#X11_Server_Log)
