2. Difference of Gaussians (legacy) blank canvas stays
Same as Ofnuts, works ok here. How many layers ? are you using a layer mode ? For example lighten only layer on top of a white layer = blank.

No, Ubuntu 20.04. But I think the same happened when I tried Fedora Live USB.
Edit : it happens with 2.10.23 AppImage as well.

OK, I think I have it. Try again with an image and no alpha channel.
There is an option in Edit -> Preferences -> Image Import & Export Tick box for Add an alpha channel to imported images. Maybe that got enabled sometime.

The box was unticked. I tried " ticking " it and repeated the process which resulted in the same error.
Then I tried " Reset " for all Preferences. I do not know whether it is permanent, but this time Gaussians worked.
The only change is that this time I used the Fedora 34 default wallpaper.
Update :
The Fedora 34 wallpaper is JPG and the earlier image was PNG, which failed again now.

OTOH why do you stick to the legacy version? What is wrong with the GEGL version (except that you may have to do a Color ➤ Invert on the result)?
