SUSE Linux 10.0 on an old pentium 400Mhz
After the initial setup dialogs on first run, nothing happens. Subsequent starting attempts simply does nothing at all.
Greetings Carlos. Søndag 29 januar 2006 13:29 kvad Carlos E. R.:
You could remove the directory ~/.gimp-{version}
That does not help. I even removed GIMP and reinstalled it. That did not work either.
Or you could try tweaking something there, but I don't know what. File 'gimprc' seems to be the main config.
I have no idea what settings i should try to fiddle with. Especially since the Gimp runs fine on my computer, but not on my mother's, and the software installations are identical. The computers differ only with regards to hardware.
If you start gimp from an xterm you might see an error message.
Yes. The message is: hanne@comp:~> gimp Illegal instruction (SIGILL) hanne@comp:~>
I have tried "strace gimp 2> outdata.txt"
Better use "strace -o filename gimp". Perhaps also use "-f".
