Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gimp
Gimp crashes every time I try to open a file on Karmic. I installed
gimp-dbg, so hopefully ubuntu-bug was able to get good data from the
backtrace. If not, I can add a manual backtrace and core.
I'm not entirely sure when this started, since I seldom need to run
gimp. I know I have run gimp successfully after upgrading Jaunty to
Karmic.
What's interesting is that the problem only appears after running gimp
once. If I create a new user, ssh -Y newu...@localhost, then I can run
gimp fine, and the file open dialog works normally. However, if I run
gimp again, it crashes.
I then tried the same experiment again, and created a new user. This
time I repeatedly rsync'd the new user's home directory to /attic:
before logging in, after logging in, after running gimp successfully,
and after it crashed. I noticed the creation of ~/.gimp-2.6,
~/.thumbnails, etc. So I decided to remove ~/.gimp-2.6, and was able to
run gimp again. However, after one successful run, gimp always crashed
on the second run, without even having to <ctrl>-O.
So I tried the same thing with my normal user. Removing ~/.gimp-2.6
allows gimp to run normally once, but crashes on invocation every
subsequent attempt, unless I keep removing the newly created
~/.gimp-2.6. Notice that this behavior is different; before removing
~/.gimp-2.6, I was able to start gimp, and it did not crash until I
tried to open a file. After removing it once, I must remove it before
running gimp, or else I don't even get the chance to try to open files.
