Thread: GIMP 2.6.7 Won't Load in Ubuntu 9.1 Karmic Koala


hello!

when click on applications -> graphics -> gimp image editor icon gimp doesn't load. instead task bar button appears in lower task bar brief moment , disappears. i've tried starting gimp through terminal "gimp-2.6" , comes "segmentation fault".

came across recent thread here on forums gimp/photshop adaptation culprit. have regular gimp installed.

i've removed gimp through synaptic, rebooted, reinstalled gimp through synaptic, rebooted , still gimp won't load , still same response in terminal.

possible i've managed mess system in such way gimp never run unless wipe out ubuntu , reinstall again. however, don't use gimp enough warrant dumping , starting over.

else experiencing problem? if so, there fix or patch in works?

thanks!

just guess perhaps problem in configuration file. open home folder in nautilus , ctrl-h show hidden files. search .gimp-2.6 , delete folder. when package removed leaves it's operating configuration files in home folder. installing package again won't overwrite these files if exist, create them if don't exist.
