Thanks to @launch-faygate's analysis in this bug, I came to a workaround on Ubuntu 18.04, and nufraw.
First, note that `nufraw` has also this option: nufraw --out-type=jpg --lensfun=none mypic.DNG ... however, it still causes the same "Procedure 'file-nufraw-load' returned no return values". So I decided to try the old version of liblensfun0 (0.2.8), which luckily is still online: --- wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/lensfun/liblensfun0_0.2.8-1_amd64.deb dpkg --contents liblensfun0_0.2.8-1_amd64.deb mkdir liblensfun0_0.2.8-1 cd liblensfun0_0.2.8-1 dpkg -x ../liblensfun0_0.2.8-1_amd64.deb . readlink -f usr/lib/liblensfun.so.0.2.8 --- Once you get the absolute path to liblensfun.so.0.2.8, note that used like this: --- LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/liblensfun0_0.2.8-1/usr/lib/liblensfun.so.0.2.8 nufraw --out-type=jpg --lensfun=none mypic.DNG --- ... when you click the Gimp button, Gimp will open, there will be no report of error - but no image imported inside Gimp either! However, this works: --- LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/liblensfun0_0.2.8-1/usr/lib/liblensfun.so.0.2.8 gimp mypic.DNG --- This will auto-open `nufraw` for importing the .DNG image, and once you click the "check" button, the image will finally be imported into Gimp. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to ufraw in Ubuntu.
