 Posted: Thu May 16, 2013 11:32 am Post subject: gimp 2.8 only runs in root? [solved] |
 |
|
I installed gimp 2.8 emerge =media-gfx/gimp-2.8.4 on my amd machine.
azzerare ~ # uname -a
Linux azzerare 3.7.10-gentoo-r1 #1 SMP Wed Apr 17 13:06:21 PDT 2013 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3400+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
Gimp 2.8 ran for a while now no luck.
There is no error message it just will not open.
From gnome or tty.
Any ideas?

If it still runs as root what do you get from | Code: | | ls -la /usr/bin/gimp |
?

azzerare bin # ls -la /usr/bin/gimp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 May 15 22:38 /usr/bin/gimp -> gimp-2.8

I also cleared the .gimp2.8 directory in my user directory along with the .gimp2.6 directory
Thanks for the line.

I finally got gimp 2.8 working.
- Deleted gimp 2.8 and media-libs/gegl media-libs/babl
- Installed gimp 2.8 again
- But what I think really worked was rebooting. dbus was restarted properly with a reboot and a new dbus was installed this week
/etc/init.d/dbus restart hangs
Do you thing dbus had anything to do with it?
Thanks!

(Posting in correct thread this time)
Strange.. Looks like gimp has a dep on dev-libs/dbus-glib.
I have had problems with gimp bringing in weird dependencies.
like webkit.
Does dbus still hang when it starts?
