[Bug 30194] Infinite error-dialogue loop if swapspace can't be created
Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/30194 Comment: On the main gimp window, go: file -> preferences -> folders There is a text-box for swap folder. This is where gimp stores image information when there is insufficient main memory. If that setting points to a non-existing directory, gimp will not use a swap folder, and runs into problems when it can't use main memory. When gimp runs out of memory, it pops up a warning. If you tell gimp to open a large file, it will then pop up this message continously, instead of only once. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug reported: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/30194 Affects: gimp (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed Description: In Breezy: If the gimp swap-dir is set to some invalid location, and a large file is opened, gimp starts generating warning dialogues at a rate of several per second. Soon Xorg is overwhelmed, all memory seems to be eaten, and C-A-backspace is needed. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
