No, I would say it has to do with the GIMP build process itself.  
Long story, short after 4 re-installs I have come to determine 
that the 2.6.38.* kernals don't seem to like (some) nvidia cards.  
I googled and tried tons of things with no luck.   So...I ended 
up reverting back to 10.10 and am hoping 11.10 will actually work correctly
with my video card(on a laptop.. so can't switch out!).


On 10.10, I installed gimp 2.6.* from apt package and the pen works with 
pressure sensitivity AND the input devices work correctly for editing.  ie, 
Gimp 2.6.x works fine.

I then built/compiled all of the prerequisites(Glib, GTK+, gdk-pixbuf, 
pixman, cairo, babl, gegl) and then gimp into its own prefix  BUT the same 
issue is happening, so all I can assume from this is that it has to do with 
some from the build process(or something missing!)  However, this time while 
the items are all greyed out, the pen pressure DOES work this time.  The thing 
that does not work is the stylus/eraser(meaning that they won't 'bind' to 
separate tools and remember them).   Ie, it's working as a regular mouse + 
pressure.  
One thing I did see when configure ran was in the optional modules section 
of the output, I got this:


Linux Input:   yes (GUDev support: no)




While this is a bummer, it is something I can live with for a few months 
until 2.8 is actual release and hopefully the packaged build will work 
properly even if I have to build the prerequisites manually.   Hopefully by 
that time, 11.10 will also be released and I can make a test partition to 
see if it agrees with my video card.

One thing you might check, since I had the same symptoms after the same
upgrade, is that

xserver-xorg-input-wacom

is installed. (sudo apt-get install xerver-xorg-input-wacom).  For some
reason it was lost when I upgraded from 10 to 11.04 and the install
fixed the problem instantly for me.  (Well not instantly, I had to
restart X.)

Hi Joe,
Here's how I installed Gimp-2.7 in Gentoo.
http://www.gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1261

I don't like to install to a /home directory.

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.7.3 compiled but tablet greyed out in Input Devices

[jfrazierjr]

OS: Ubuntu 11.04
Arch: AMD64
Desktop Manager: Gnome 3


I recently blew away my Ubuntu 10.10 and installed 11.04.  
Not liking Unity, I figured I would try Gnome 3.  After 
getting Gnome 3 set up, I downloaded babl,gegl, and gimp 
tarballs and proceeded to install all sorts of dependencies
(required and many optional ones) via apt-get packages. 

I then 
compiled babl(0.1.4), gegl(0.1.6), glib(2.29.8) gtk+(2.24.5) 
and finally gimp 2.7.3(note that all the above are from 
the gimp.org ftp site.   Prior to compiling gtk+, gimp 
failed on the make with some really strange errors(sorry... 
I don't have them any more) which is why I compiled my own 
copy.   Also note, ALL of the above were compile into a 
different prefix with :

./configure --prefix=/home/joefrazierjr/opt

Once I finally got GIMP compiled, I can see my tablet 
in the input devices, but they are greyed out along with 
all of the below: 
SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad
Virtual core XTEST Pointer
Wacom Bamboo Fun 6x8 cursor
Wacom Bamboo Fun 6x8 eraser
Wacom Bamboo Fun 6x8 pad
Wacom Bamboo Fun 6x8 stylus


The ONLY thing that is NOT greyed out is Core Pointer.  


The main reason I complied is because for whatever reason,
the PPA package available does not also install Python(but
 does let the tablet work), so I am kind of stuck here.

Note that I am comfortable with "using" the shell, but am 
a power user in linux, so please assume that I know nothing
about linux in any replies.  Also, if I need to remove, any 
of the compiled code and recompile, I assume running "make clean"
will fix it up correctly?  

Note, my Bamboo Fun works fine in MyPaint(with pressure sensitivity,
etc), so the issue is with either GIMP compile itself or GTK apps
in general(I have no idea if MyPaint is GTK or not so someone might be
able to rule that out).

Also, I still have the build folders, so if I need to link to any of
the config.log files, please let me know and I will put on my dropbox.

I assume you sent your message through www.gimpusers.com? This is the
_mailing-list_ "gimp-user", which is not run by www.gimpusers.com. A lot
of people get confused by that since www.gimpusers.com call it a forum:

Our forums are connected to the official mailing lists. The
interface provides a way to read and answer mailing list messages in
a forum-like style.

So if you want to give feedback on the www.gimpusers.com
interfaces/website, get in touch with them instead (perhaps via
http://twitter.com/gimpusers, I can't see that they have an official
feedback button).


I prefer to read the mailing list through this interface instead:

http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.gimp.user

There's a link "Post a message" on the left hand side (under Options) to
post new threads, or you can press "Reply" under individual messages.
You don't have to log in anywhere, but the first time you send a message
you'll get an email that you just have to send back (to prove that
your email exists).

Well, I guess this question should be asked to the unity developers.
When they were developing the new window management, they hopefully have
been thinking about multi-window applications and have a spec on how the
focusing of the windows should behave.

If they have recommendations to application developers I'm sure we'll
have a look at them and consider implementing their hints, provided they
don't conflict with the "regular" window managers.

Simon

So, by all the replies slating Unity (which I think is great, actually),
might I assume that my original query is unanswerable?

Just a reminder of my initial "question".  I asked if anyone knows how to
make Gimp's window focusing work more intuitively in Unity.  For example,
when switching between workspaces, the focus defaults to the toolbox.

That's not entirely true: the user can select 'File->Open Location'
and enter/paste a URI, which is then downloaded and opened in GIMP.

Of course GIMP does not open or listen to any ports on the local machine.

Gimp is an Open Source program that runs on MSWin, OS X and 
Linux. It is similar in purpose to Photoshop but does not 
produce CMYK output, just RGB.

To install Gimp you download it over the Internet. Please 
visit http://www.gimp.org for details. 


The user can click on the help facility and view the Gimp 
Manual in an html viewer. Other than that there is no 
operational connection to the internet. No ports are 
opened. It is a stand-alone local program. 



 Gimp has been in use for many years on many systems in 
many shops. It is not scary. 

I know of no vulnarabilities. But I operate on Linux where 
vulnerabilities are seldom an issue.

Thanks but the Windows version should come pre-packaged with all dependencies 
resolved (as in the working Windows XP case I described).

See setup file here: http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html

I only download ready-to-run binaries, I don't know how to build from source. 
Any other suggestions?

[grimpy]

I just installed GIMP 2.6.11 on Windows 7 64-bit, then tried to open a .png 
file.

Alas, instead of the image, I was surprised to see an error message box stating:

"Opening C:\Users\me\Pictures\snapshot.png failed: Unknown file type"

Huh? How is this possible?

I have GIMP 2.6 running perfectly on Windows XP (32-bit) and never had any such 
problem.

Any idea what's causing that and what can I do to fix this?

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.6.x Layers-Channels-Paths not showing layer previews

[Charlie De]

Hello all,


My first post here - I've run into a strange problem and can't find an answer. 
Using Ubuntu 10.04, after some recent system updates, the Layers-Channels-Paths 
window no longer updates when a file is opened, the Layers area is empty, not 
showing a preview of the image. If I close and re-open the L-C-P window, then 
the layer preview of the image shows as normal, and the window as a whole works 
as expected.

I've tried everything I could think of to trace the source of the problem, to 
no 
avail. I think it must be caused by something that got recently updated in the 
system, but I haven't been able to find it. Initially I noticed the problem 
with 
Gimp 2.6.10 that I had compiled from source myself. I deleted it and installed 
2.6.8 from the repositories, but the problem persists. I then went through 
"apt" 
and "dpkg" logs, looking for system components that had recently been updated 
and downgraded many of them, again to no avail.

My internet searches revealed a thread at Ubuntu forums a couple of years ago 
where someone had the exact same problem after upgrading from Ubuntu 8.04 to 
8.10. The poster found no solution, but managed to solve the problem by 
installing 8.04 again. I think this is what I'm basically facing, having to 
re-install a clean 10.04. But I think there must be just one system library 
that 
I haven't tracked down that's responsible for this problem. Would anyone here 
have any idea which system library may be causing the problem?

It's a long shot, but worth asking. Thanks in advance.

Charlie

O.K. then, but if you emerge it without any additional options it will 
be compiled against the GIMP version that resides in /usr, right? So you 
may try recompiling it by hand and installing it in your home directory 
to see if it will work.

This is just a guess (I don't have Windows with Hebrew locale to test), but
try setting an environment variable LANG to C.

To do this on Windows XP, right-click My Computer, select Properties, go to
Advanced tab, click the Environment Variables button, then click New and
set LANG as Variable Name and C as Variable Value.

On Vista and newer, click Start, click your account picture (or go to
Control Panel -> User accounts -> User accounts) and click "Change my

Variable Name and C as Variable Value.

Thanks for answering.
Gutenprint is a case apart.It's not like the regular python plugins.
In Gentoo you can indicate to the package managing system that you want it also 
as a plugin for Gimp.
All packages in Gentoo are compiled on your box.
I have in the past done this with 2.6 several times worked ok.

You have to recompile all the plug-ins that you want to use with the new 
version of gimp. You can't just copy them. I do not use Gutenprint, but 
usually I download the sources of the plug-ins and compile and install 
them with
gimptool --install 
Note that this may overwrite files in your home gimp plug-ins or the 
system wide gimp plug-ins directory, so check this first.
Be sure to use the gimptool program that came with the version of GIMP 
that you want the plug-in to work with.

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.7.2 Windows 7 64-bit

[Partha]

Would there be any interest in Gimp 2.7.2 Windows 7 64-bit? I compiled it for 
myself for 2 reasons:

1. I needed the 64-bit Gimp 2.7.2 since I have 8 Gigs of RAM
2. Text UI is broken on Gimp 2.7.1 which has been fixed in 2.7.2

If there is interest, I am willing to provide a zip archive with installation 
instructions on my website. Sorry, I have not compiled the 32 bit yet since I 
don't have the setup. I might do that if there is interest.

Let me know.

Thanks,
Partha

[Gimp-user] GIMP 2.6.10 - 32-64 bits experimental

[Paul Saumane]

?I'd like to thank you Jernej for his windows installers which help us all 
over the years.

I currently used 2.6.9-64bits using experimental installer. Yesterday, I 
installed 2.6.10 - 32-64bits using experimental installer on Win7 - 64bits. 
I did try installing it on Win XP which I just use now with equipment(drive 
not available) or software incompatible with Win 7.
Everything installed properly however as soon as I tried to start I got an
alarm can't find the way to 32  "something" then when clicking on  OK the
Gimp starts normally and works apparently properly. Then when trying to
save, I got the same problem orienting the save towards some  "bin"
directory and the GIMP freezed completely.
Tried twice with the same result. Regarding saving, I can select the proper 
saving directory then just when clicking on "save" the directory is changed 
moving to bin... and freezing.

I uninstall and reinstall 2.6.9 experimental 64 bits and it works again
perfectly in this version but the known bug.

As M. De la Pallice would say "it probably comes from the combination of
both 32-64 bits installer". However, I am sure that Jernej checked that
properly. So, it might probably comes from my own installation.

In fact, on the same hardware, I have two O.S. Win XP32-SP3 and Win 7-64
bits ultimate Feb 2011 update. Each O.S. is installed on a different HDD 
with each
O.S. having its own softwares etc. However, they shares the same data
located on a third HDD.
When I checked the 2.6.10 location in W7-64 all related directories (soft 
and current
documentation) are properly installed in "programs" directory dedicated to
64 bits softwares.

I can reinstall and take some screen shoots to give you the proper "Alert"
sentence.

Any Clue

Thanks

Paul

I figured it was the libbabl-0.0-0 v0.1.4.1 that bugged and tried the v0.3.1 
instead and it worked perfect. I had to add the lucid ppa from 
https://launchpad.net/~matthaeus123/+archive/mrw-gimp-svn even tough i am

[Gimp-user] GIMP cloned from git

Hi,

I am trying to install GIMP cloned from the git repository.

"./autogen.sh": no error.
"make" gives this error:

gimpdbusservice.c: 101:37 : error: 'dbus_glib_gimp_object_info'

Hi Ed,

Where did you get the babl from? 2.7 will only work with a very recent

[Gimp-user] Gimp remembering settings

[Jeremy Nell]

I've got the appropriate boxes checked, yet, for some reason, Gimp seems 
to remember some of my settings inconsistently.  For example, my save 
dialogues don't remember how I saved files the last time Gimp was 
running.  Specifically, saving as TIFF.  I always select "LZW" 
compression, yet almost daily (because I use Gimp daily), it defaults to 
"none" and includes the comment "Created with Gimp" after I've removed 
that comment from the main preferences.

How can this be rectified?

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.6 toolbox

[Pax294]

Recently I decided to add the resynthesizer-0.16 plugin to my copy of the Gimp 
and realized I did not have the latest version of the Gimp so I upgraded to the 
current (stable) 2.6 version. After installing, the first thing I noticed was 
the lack of a menu bar on top of the tool bar and an intrusive new gimp image 
window with the missing menu bar on it. I've read plenty of posts about why 
this was done but I was wondering if there was a plugin available to return the 
menu bar to the tool bar and not have to have the other image window open. I 
went back a year or so and it seems as though there were plenty of other users 
wondering the same. 

I do not want to relaod an old version to get that feature back. I prefer to 
keep the toolbar tight to the right of my desktop and I also prefer to load my 
images through the menu process verses the 'drag & drop' method. 

Is there a helpful solution?

[Gimp-user] Gimp rebuilding user files?

[scott s.]

I started up GIMP today (2.6.11 on Win 7 x64), and got an extended pause 
and the startup windows showed "reading patterns" as best I remember.  I 
do recall in the past fooling around some trying to add a pattern file, 
but can't remember exactly what I had done.  At any rate after an 
extended period GIMP started, but configured a bit differently.  Looking 
around my system I see that the

C:\Users\\.gimp-2.6\
folder hierarchy seems to have been completely rebuilt.  Per the help 
that appears to be normal if local GIMP settings are missing or damaged. 
  But doing some mucking around, I found another copy from earlier in

C:\Users\\Appdata\Local\.gimp=2.6\

I did a compare of the two folder hierarchies, and did find a reference 
to pattern-path and pattern-path-writable in the older gimprc.  So I 
backed up the new .gimp-2.6 and copied over the older one to 
C:\Users\\, except I kept the new gimprc, and now GIMP is 
loading OK (AFAICT) with my original .gimp=2.6.

So I guess I'm wondering what happened, and where is .gimp-2.6 supposed 
to be located in a Win 7 x64 system?

If you are using Windows, run at least once the utilities provided with 
the tablet. One of them creates a tablet properties file and it seems 
Gimp uses that to determine if a tablet is available.  Sorry I can't be 
more specific, I'm now running Linux.

Thanks for the update, I guess I should've poked around a little more.

This is because now you have to check any box for Color in the new
painting dynamics palette.

Well I just tried it, build of a couple of days ago and all these
options work;

FG to BG (hardedge)
FG to BG (HSV Clockwise)
FG to BG (HSV Counter clockwise)
FG to BG (RGB)

The HSV ones start off and finish with the set color, just not sure
what to expect in the middle.

Ubuntu-9.04 with gimp and most dependencies built in a separate folder.

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.6.7 on Windows XP SP3

[Emilio Fernandes]

Hi all,

I'm trying to compile gimp for windows using the Mingw,
But when running configure with:
CPPFLAGS="-I /mingw/include -I /h/Python26/include/pygtk-2.0 -I
/Python26/include \
LIBS="-lpng12 -lintl -lwsock32 -L/mingw/lib" \
FREETYPE_CONFIG="/mingw/bin/freetype-config" \
WMF_CONFIG ="/mingw/bin/libwmf-config" \
PYGTK_CODEGEN="/h/Python26/Lib/site-packages/gtk-2.0/codegen/codegen.py" \
. /configure \
- host=mingw32 \
- build=mingw32 \
- prefix="$ HOME/gimp-win \
- enable-debug \
- without-alsa

The config.h file is no definition, all lines
are to "# undef" and the variable name, including GETTEXT_PACKAGE.
Thus I can not compile.
Anyone have any clue as to what might be wrong?

[Gimp-user] Gimp-2.7 Color From Gradient

[iceburg]

I've built Gimp-2.7 from git source on Linux (Debian) and also used the 
pre-compiled windows version and in either one, the color from gradient option 
only uses the current foreground color.  Does it work correctly for anyone 
else?  I know it's a development version and all that but I just wanted to see 
if it's just me.  If it is broken, does that need to be entered into the bug 
system or should we just wait and see if it starts working again at some point?

Hi there.  I was going to suggest something similar to what ofnuts said, but
wasn't sure if it would work on a Mac.  I have access to a mac with OS X
10.5.8 with gimp 2.6.11 and did some poking around.

What happens if you start X11 by itself first?  ( in finder you can click on
/Applications/Utilities/X11.app)

If that works then open a terminal window and type:

/Applications/Gimp.app/Contents/MacOS/Gimp --verbose

Then copy what is on the terminal window and post it in a reply.

If X will not start I have some other ideas.  Let us know what happens when
you try these suggestions.

Cheers,

Mike

If the concept applies to OSX: start from a command prompt with a

You are looking at the wrong place; the screen resolution is one thing, 
but the DPI used to compute thje size of an image in pixels when you 
give a dimension in inches is part of the "Advanced options" in the "new 
image" dialog. Its default can be set in teh general preferences in the 
"default new image" section.

It seems to me that I saw behavior like this when I was working with a 
layer which had multiple layers, and the layer which was active was not 
the layer that was visible, and there was no content in the part of the 
layer that was active which was selected.

[Gimp-user] GIMP Copying Problem

[Dan-net]

Hi

I just started using GIMP the other day so I'm still getting to grips with 
everything but anyway here's the problem:

I'm using the rectangular selection tool to select an area of a layer to copy. 
However when I try and paste the copied area it just pastes the thing I copied 
last.

Basically it seems that it's either not copying the new selection correctly or 
it's stuck pasting the old image from the clipboard.

Anyone have any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Cheers.

[Gimp-user] Gimp Upgrade MAC OS x Print Size Problem

[bigdreamspublishing]

I recently upgraded to GIMP version 2.6.10  (Mac OS x Snow Leopard).  Ever 
since I've had a print size issue I can't resolve.  I didn't have this problem 
with previous GIMP versions.

Despite the saved size, the image prints smaller.  I've tried everything I can 
think of from playing with scale, resolution, page and print setup.  Doesn't 
matter if I use Gutenprint, the image prints small.  The image size is 4"x 
width by 3" height (72 pixels/in).  It consistently prints 3"width x 2"height.gr

I'd appreciate any recommendations - including going back to a previous GIMP 
version.  Thanks.

Why exactly do you want to turn it off? If you don't need it, then don't
use it. What's the point of adding yet another option?

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.6's Clipboard Brush - disable possible?

[SilversleevesX]

Hi.

This is my first post to the list.

I wanted to know if it were possible to disable the Clipboard Brush 
feature in GIMP 2.6?

Frankly, I think a better direction for something copied or cut to the 
Clipboard would be to Patterns, not Brushes. As a longtime Photoshop 
user (4 versions on Mac OS, two on Windows), I've no doubt that the 
minor hassle of turning tweensy picture X.jpeg into a pattern will be 
something I'll remember to my dying day. If an intuitive shortcut should 
be applied to clipboard/pasteboard data in a graphics app, patterns seem 
to me the more useful of the two directions.

Much of the to-clip and from-clip activity I do is whole pictures, and 
whether scaled or not, color-depth-reduced or not, a brush with 
something 640x...@24 on it/to it, while it would make for a nice 
diversion or "toy" or plug-in, doesn't quite rate with me as the new 
bleeding-edge feature of as well-known a freeware graphics application 
program as is the GIMP.

I presume the developers went this way because to "take it to patterns" 
might have meant a re-think of the pattern-making and -reading code, and 
there probably wasn't time or incentive enough for that: this seemed the 
more expedient option and so it was done. Fine. Let the user have the 
option of "turning it off," then, if such an option is not already 
present in version 2.6.

So is it?

BZT.

[Gimp-user] Gimp compiling question

[Jeffery Small]

I recently upgraded from gimp 2.4 to 2.6.8 on my Sun SPARC Solaris 10
system.  I am using a gimp package compiles by the openCSW group.

The new version of gimp works fine, but I have noticed a significant
degradation in the speed of just about every operation, from opening a
new file, to the application of most tools and filters.  Is this the
general experience of others, with the slowdown due to a reworking of
the underlying engine within gimp, or is this specific to this particular
package?  If gimp has not become appreciably slower, can anyone suggest
a set of compiler options that should be used to increase the performance
of the program.  I will pass along any information you provide to the
person maintaining this package and see if we can improve it.

Thanks for any insights you can offer.
