In an strace, before deleting the old .gimp-2.2 settings, the program stops at this line:
15:34:55.559985 futex(0x84629a8, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL after that, the program opens properly. When I exit from that, the strace has a bit of an error message: 15:39:42.984437 unlink("/home/matthew/.gimp-2.2/gimpswap.13810") = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) If you want that entire strace I can add it; it is really quite large, so I will wait to be asked for that one. After the directory has been regenerated, it finishes with an strace that looks the same as the first one. The start-up screen says "looking for data files: modules" -- gimp crashes https://launchpad.net/bugs/89602 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
