I would need precise instruction on how to create a VM with the same characteristics you used, including an example config. My system config was pretty much created by the graphical installer. By the way, every time I run GIMP from a terminal, I see these warning and error: ########## $ LANG=en_US.utf-8 gimp (gimp:1734): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:49:30.835: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita", (gimp:1734): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:49:30.838: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita", GIMP-Warning: Bad interpreter referenced in interpreter file /gnu/store/skzfv3sndly29wdf6zs3qyjzvlhy8fv1-gimp-2.10.10/lib/gimp/2.0/interpreters/pygimp.interp: python2 GIMP-Warning: Bad binary format string in interpreter file /gnu/store/skzfv3sndly29wdf6zs3qyjzvlhy8fv1-gimp-2.10.10/lib/gimp/2.0/interpreters/pygimp.interp GIMP-Error: Unable to run plug-in "spyro_plus.py" (/gnu/store/skzfv3sndly29wdf6zs3qyjzvlhy8fv1-gimp-2.10.10/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/spyro_plus/spyro_plus.py) Failed to execute child process “/gnu/store/skzfv3sndly29wdf6zs3qyjzvlhy8fv1-gimp-2.10.10/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/spyro_plus/spyro_plus.py” (Exec format error) ########## And every time I run Scribus from a terminal, I see this: pathForIcon: Unable to load icon /gnu/store/5xqmac50axcgc8vrrn30jvzndjvrqd6a-scribus-1.5.4/share/scribus/icons/1_5_1/zeichen.png: File not found Also, running: $ strace -f -o gimp.out gimp $ strace -f -o scribus.out scribus I see many lines containing messages of things that seem to fail. For instance, "No existe el fichero o el directorio", "Argumento inválido", among other messages (in English these would be something like "No such file or directory" and "Invalid argument", respectively).
