The next time the gimp acts up on you, try this: 1. hit all at the same time 2. login in and type "ps -ax" no quotes 3. find the gimp and the number with it and type "kill " where is the number 4. hit again to get back to the x session Anyone can correct this for me, I still have very much to learn. But the thing about linux is that you don't have to hit the button everytime something gets screwed up. It is hard to get over the windoze dependency on that reset button. Linux boxen don't need it. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I was using 1.1.24 and I ran out of disk space. Something like that might make it impossible for X to run also. It really sounds like that cascading error window problem from way back then. Which version are you using? How much space do you have on your disk. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] gimp and dead X
Unless you ran gimp as root there is nothing it can do that would harm your system. (With the possible exception that it could get stuck in a loop and spew out error messages untill you run out of disk space). This isn't the place for a fix but you would need to give a lot more info about the problem. i.e what version of X your using, what graphical login your using (gdm,xdm etc), what error messages you get, whether you can start X from the command line. or if you wanted to fix why gimp went strange for starters you need to say what version your running, what messages you got in the error logs, what hardware your using and anything else that might be petienet such as what exactly you did and if it is repeatable.

[Gimp-user] gimp and dead X
Hi List, I was working with a couple of images the other day, simply adjusting the tonal qualities on one of them when suddenly gimp went wild on me. Within only a few seconds my screen was filled with hundreds of task bar buttons for a multitude of new copies of the image in question. Before I could kill it off my entire 19" monitor screen was completely covered with new copies of the image. I shut down my system and when I went to reboot I could only boot into text mode? Has anyone else experienced this, who may possibly be able to suggest a fix? Much thanks, Wade ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
