Hello. I am currently trying to make a Gimp 2.6.8 install to work on another Linux distros. First I copied the gimp binary file. It complained about not having a gegl lib. I copied it from my distro. It worked, nonetheless, Gimp continued to complain about other library files. I continued to copy all the necessary files until the executable Gimp file worked.

However it was seriously handicapped. I then copied the .gimp dir that was on my home/user. It may improved it in someways, but not enough. The brushes still were not working, even though they were on .gimp as far as know. Somehow I figured out that there was a /usr/share/gimp directory full of files and subdirs. Copied it to the newer Linux distro. The brushes started to work. Now Gimp was close to reach a functional state.

Despite that, there still are two issues. The first is that, since it was not properly installed, I cannot click on a image file and select it to be opened by Gimp. I tried to understand how to select a random program to open a certain file type, but at least until now, was not able to do so. However, this is a distro specific issue and so not to be treated here.

The second is that the menu (file,edit,etc) is not showing up. So I believe that there still are some configuration files that I did not copy to the newer distro. Hence, I would deeply appreciate if someone can point the files responsible for such part of Gimp. Or whatever is necessary to solve this issue. If one does not know the specific files, yet has a good idea of existing gimp config files, it copy all at once.

Thanks for reading all that.

Hello, I have installed gimp 2.10.12 (I have the same problem for 2.10.14) on Linux (Kiss Linux). When
I try to add some text on a picture, I get:

• liberation
  

I have been using the ofnuts dialmarkers to generate square markers.
Is there any way i can generate a rotating arrow in multiple layers, maybe with similiar concept of the dialmarkers ?
Arrows as such:

Hi All,
I uninstalled/ reinstalled (clean install) of 2.10.14, following the forum advice.
Using 2.10.8, I had no problem having lots of images and going through them one by one, choosing, editing etc...
I had the "too mny GEGL exceptions error" fault when using the 2.10.14.
This is when I followed the forum advice and installed it clean, instead of the upgrade I made before.
The problem persists.


Any targeted specific help will be greatly appreciated.

I'm new to this forum, only been a member about a month. I am using GIMP 2.10 and would like to ask questions in that forum. However, whenever I go to that, I do not have the "New Thread" button to ask a question, so I keep asking in the general forum. I've peeked in most of the other forums and I have the "New Thread" button above the "Mark this forum read | Subscribe to this forum" options. Is there something that I'm missing as far using the 2.10 forum? I've included a screenshot of what I see when I go to the forum.

I have several objects that are already drawn. After finishing them, I think they need to have thicker lines. Is there a way to make this so, without having to redraw the objects with a thicker line in the pencil or path tool?

I'm using GIMP 2.10 on linux.

I have multiple layers that require to center all the boundary layers and change all to the same size.
Is there anyway to select all the layers and adjust it at one go?

Greetings Everyone,

I'm trying to understand why GIMP - (version 2.10.14), when on i5-2500 cpu with 32GB RAM and GTX 760 (2GB), was maxing out system, but now on a AMD Ryzen 5 3600X with 32GB and a GTX 760 (2GB) its still MAXing out the cpu.

PS: I haven't re-installed anything yet. But I'm wondering why this is sucks up EVERYTHING !


I5-2500 -> https://ibb.co/MM9MpcB

Ryzen 5 3600X -> https://ibb.co/RP7JX1D


Thanks.
