Re: [Gimp-user] gimp hangs in Fedora 7

2007-08-10 Thread Dr. Muhammad Masroor Ali

Does it happens if you move the 
 .gimp-2.2 directory to another place? 

For the default version (2.2.14) with Fedora 7, once I tried deleting the
 .gimp directory and starting fresh. Nothing happened. After I installed 
2.2.17, I did not try this action. However, after I deleted .gimp and started 
using gimp, the problem appears has been cured. I am watching it for the last 
four days.

Any explanation?

What do you see if you run gimp from a terminal?

Nothing in case of the upgraded version. I remember seeing something gimp lib-
wire read error.

Regards,

Dr. Muhammad Masroor Ali

 Dear All, 
 
 After I upgraded my machine (Dell, 1GB RAM, PIV processor) to Fedora
 7, gimp worked fine for a few days. Then it started to hang after
 about ten minutes of use. It works fine (pencil, crop and fill), but
 after gimp has been used for about, say ten minutes, whenever I try to
 open or save a file from the File menu, the menu appears and then gimp
 hangs. Nothing can be done after that except forced kill.

 Then I upgraded gimp to the latest available stable version 2.2.17
 (from koji). Then after about a week the problem reappeared. I can
 work for a few minutes, even save and/or open a file or two, then
 gimp hangs as soon as I use an item in File menu.

 No problem occurs if gimp is used as a superuser (using su -c). I
 am always against running an application as the superuser, and
 advise people against it, but I really need to meet a few
 deadlines.


 Excerpt from ~/.xsession-errors,

 (script-fu:3683): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: wire_read():
 errorWindow manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW
 message with a timestamp of 0 for 0x3e0a86e (The GIMP)
 Window manager warning: meta_window_activate called by a pager with
 a 0 timestamp; the pager needs to be fixed.

 Any suggestion will be appreciated.
