Hi,

on ubuntu 21.04 I just got an update of GIMP to v 2.10.28.
Since them it's like my tools (whatever crop, selection, fill with color, etc..) nothing is working on current unlock and visible layer.

I tried to create another new layer and to crop it... nothing
I create another document with a new layer and tried to fill with foreground color...nothing ...

I uninstalled it and reinstall it...
nothing changed


Any idea what it could be ?
It's weird as before with 2.10.26 It worked well Sad

thx

Since you have changed your ubuntu version from earlier posts which 'flavour' of Gimp 2.10.28 are you using ?
flatpak or snap or PPA ?
ubuntu 21.04 possibly prone to incompatibilities

Oh I got my idea > IMO it's Ubuntu 21.04 > so you'll have probably to wait the end of the next month > 21.10 and hope they fixed the problem (I will not say the "every day" update to not give you hope)
I did 1 time the mistake to not stick to an LTS > no more database, apache was not working anymore, it removed a lot of things and so > Never again, ever.

If you got the PPA from Panda Jim https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/+...buntu/gimp this page might be a good start to get back your .26
Or you can get the 2.10.25 (.24 equivalent) appimage while waiting the Ubuntu fix(if it's them) https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-app...continuous
Hope it helps

Working backwards Wink

ubuntu 21.04 = 'hirsute'  The default package for hirsute is 2.10.22 see: https://packages.ubuntu.com/hirsute/graphics/

...so for gimp 2.10.28 it must come from somewhere else

The options: 

A flatpak gimp: see https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ and Install GIMP flatpak

A snap version using the ubuntu software center. If you use this it could be the problem. 

That PPA for an alternative GIMP (2.10.28)  installation is https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/+...buntu/gimp
If you want that,  follow the directions top of the web page. "Adding this PPA ..." Is this the one you use ?

That is the one I currently use with kubuntu 20.04 not sure how it works with 21.04.

IMHO the 'failsafe' is the flatpak version.
