Hello, Hoping someone can help resolve this problem. I have done searches of archives and web sites without much luck. I know this version is a little old, but I don't have any control over updating the installation. My problem is related to gimp (2.2.17). I can start gimp from an nfs export with no problems. I get the GUI, but when I select file/open, the application crashes with the following error: ++++++++++++++++++++ > /<path>/gimp process 8788: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "<path>/packages/dbus10/var/lib/machine-id": No such file or directory See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue. D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace /<path>/bin/gimp: terminated: Aborted
(script-fu:8966): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: wire_read(): error +++++++++++++++++++ I can use the same nfs export from a different system and use gimp just fine without any errors or crashing. This is the same OS, same export, same user account. The conf files in /etc/dbus-1/ appear to be identical between these two systems. The only differences that I can find between the system gimp works on and the system gimp does not work on are the patch levels. They are both RHEL 4 EL x86_64 servers. The one that works is at 2.6.9-67.ELsmp, the one that fails is at 2.6.9-34.ELsmp. Due to software support issues, I cannot simply update the system that is not working. I did update the dbus rpm and rebooted, so that it matched the good system, but that did not fix the problem. Another strange clue is that I can start the application when appending the data file, get directly to the data file without crashing gimp. For instance, I can run "/<path>/gimp file1.tif", without any errors. As soon as I need to do a file/open, the application and data file close. I am using the "/<path>/gimp file1.tif" for a work-around at the moment. Could anyone help shed some light on this issue of why Gimp crashes as soon as I select file/open? What is it that gimp needs that is causing the crash?
