Gimp 2.10 under Debian Testing Won't Start - jacosis - 08-16-2018
I am running Gimp 2.10 using a Debian Linux and today it suddenly refused to start. There is no error message issued when I start the program in command line. I tried purging gimp and re-install without any help.
After clicking on gimp or starting it through command line I could actually see a process of gimp. However, I cannot see the user interface being turned on. Does anyone have any suggestion how to solve this?

Self-compiled or installed from .DEB?
What do you get with gimp --verbose in a terminal?

When I run 'gimp --verbose', nothing happened. No output from the command line at all. However the issue still exists, and I still cannot see the user interface.

Maybe the symbolic link gimp to the executable is broken.
Have you tried gimp-2.10 --verbose from a terminal

I've been facing the same situation. I've double checked the link and there is nothing broken.
Using Debian Testing - kernel 4.17.0-2-amd64

A quick search and it all looks very buggy in Debian

Same here! Debian testing with the latest kernel on an AMD machine.
I know that Debian testing is not as solid as the stable version, but I did not expect a well-established software like GIMP would have such issues. Looks like a known bug based on other comments, hopefully will get resolved soon.

Thanks for the info. It's good to learn that bug report was already submitted, and I am not alone in facing this issue
Hopefully this will get resolved soon.

According to this bug report, deleting the package libopenblas-base could solve the problem. I tried this and it worked!

Nice to know it. I'm gonna try it and reinforce it here in case it works.

I can confirm that removing the libopenblas-base package solved this issue for me -- thank you for the tip!
