GIMP won't start

[mhaverin]

I'm running the Kubuntu 11.04 beta (all updates installed) on an hp dv5000 and can't get the GIMP to start.

The error I get when trying to run it from Konsole is:
(gimp:1798): GLib-WARNING **:
/build/buildd/glib2.0-2.28.5/./glib/goption.c:2132: ignoring no-arg,
optional-arg or filename flags (8) on option of type 0
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

And dmesg says:
gimp[1798]: segfault at 4 ip 00fac6ff sp bf9321c0 error 6 in
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.4[daf000+3d1000]

I've been trying to google for tips, but couldn't find anything useful. Help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: GIMP won't start

Gimp is starting and running correctly on my 11.04 system, however a bug with your symptoms has been reported:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...mp/+bug/757653

it is marked duplicate of this one:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...mp/+bug/748853

which doesn't really look like the same thing.

Worked for me, thanks!

In short, this is how I fixed the problem:

• set GTK theme to raleigh
• start GIMP once
• set GTK theme back to oxygen-gtk
• GIMP now works with oxygen-gtk, too!

Thanks, I had the same problem and that worked for me too. 8)
