I certainly understand and expect a few problems when I install the unstable version of the software. I had (I believe) downloaded the necessary files from GetDeb when I originally installed 2.7 on my 9.04 version of UbuntuStudio. It seemed to be working fine as late as last weekend, except that the text on canvas box would grey out and hide your typing. Then, Ubuntu tempted me to upgrade, and, in the process, I broke my install. I had already downloaded the US DVD, so decided to upgrade to 9.10. Then, found that things have changed over at GetDeb, so that I had to get Gimp 2.7 via another method. I don't know if it's slightly different, or if there is something about UbuntuStudio 9.10 that is slightly different, or if I'm doing something wrong. Fortunately, 2.6 runs just fine, and I can certainly live with it until these problems, whatever their source, get resolved. Thanks for the replies.
