Hi all,
A bit of back story, which I'll keep as brief as possible.
For the last 18 months, I've been running Win7/64 and Mint 18 in a
dual-boot configuration, and everything was great.
Then, something weird happened last Saturday, where Windows suddenly
decided to crap itself and not boot.
I ended up deciding I'd blow the installation away, reinstall Windows, fix
GRUB (which Windows was bound to screw up for me), and off I'd go.
Of course, it couldn't be that easy.
I ended up losing my Linux installation as well. But I had my /home
directory on a separate partition, so I knew that was safe.
For reasons I won't delve into here, I decided to (reluctantly) move to
Win10.
When I installed Mint 18.3, I was forced into installing it on an
MBR-formatted partition, rather than a GPT-formatted one, like I'd had
before. I mention this because I don't know it that's the reason for the
issue I'm now having with darktable.
I've installed it from the Mint Software Package Manager, it said it
installed, but when I click on the link to the app, I get a spinning cursor
for 30 seconds, and then nothing.
I uninstalled, and reinstalled via the terminal, but got exactly the same
result.
Are there any residual files/folders in my /home partition from my OLD
installation of darktable which might be corrupting any attempt to install
the new version?
Also, both times I've downloaded it, the version number appeared as
2.0.3-1, which is weird, because I know I was running 2.4.2 last week.
Any help which can be offered will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Bruce Williams
