I had the same GTK_IS_TREE_MODEL message in 2.6 (i don't remember gimp_wire_read being part of my problem) in 2.8 I had "gimp-2.8 crashed with SIGSEGV in completion_match_func" both were immediately after Save As (2.6) or Export As (2.8) a PNG input file as a PNG (with a new name)
It seems that my issue may have been related to my Xauthority system. For some reason, my login screen had been replaced with gdm and lightdm, although installed, was not default. Reinstalling lightdm and reconfiguring it while wiping out my .Xauthority file seems to have cured my woes. Now 2.8 works like a charm. Before I cleared out my /home/username/.Xauthority I had some problems logging in as my default user, so you may want to have a spare account to log into. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1048657 Title: Ubuntu 12.04 / Gimp - Consistent crash after saving file Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I started using gimp on a computer where I hadn't used it before.
