Not sure if canberra-gtk-module is the problem.

I checked ldd /usr/bin/inkscape  and everything is there.

Please throw me a bone.

It's been a while, but I think this is with 0.92.4, right? (posted on April).

I'm not sure about CentOS 8 but it does happen with Fedora. In these versions, -D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS was enabled in the build, causing crashes on certain (simple) operations like https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/397

This isn't the same issue at all, but I don't care to trawl through the bug tracker to track it (if you're interested, remember to check our legacy tracker on launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape). The bugs (at least for issues we've identified) have been fixed in 0.92.5/1.0. If there are egregious issues still present there, please report them at https://inkscape.org/report (and you might want to open an issue to disable _GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS for Inkscape in the CentOS bug tracker)
