During a test with just a single layer, without copy and paste, just using a few tools, it did _not_ crash. I don't know if its stable, it's to time consuming to continue testing. It at least didn't crash during a not so hard test. The grid doesn't work correctly, it requires to close and open GIMP again to get new grid settings. This is what I experienced when using it on Arch Linux, too. With single window mode disabled, it's needed to select "always on to" by the dock windows each time GIMP is opened. This might be related to the DE. IIRC on Arch Linux with openbox I don't need to do it, the GIMP dock windows automatically stay on top. -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

Hi, booting 20181017.2 "Live" worked without issues, btw. nice splash screen. The desktop appeared. I like the wallpaper. The computer was unused for a while, so I wasn't surprised about the screen blanking that happened. When I wanted to start testing GIMP a few seconds later, I needed to push Ctrl+Alt+some F key and then Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back the desktop. Just pushing keys, moving the mouse with and without turning off and on the display didn't work. FWIW this doesn't happen, if I use an Ubuntu Mate 18.04.1 Live DVD. Now I've got something else to do, but I keep the daily build running and try to test GIMP later. To be continued...

Apart of random crashes, on Arch Linux not everything works as expected. For example, to change the grid it's required to restart GIMP. View > [x] Show Grid Edit > Preferences > Default Image > Default Grid The Windows menu is sometimes fishy, too. If somebody else wants to test it, I added a script to download the current daily build. The script does also get the public Ubuntu keys and anything else needed, to automatically check the ISO against the _signed_ checksum.
