Nothing works after upgrading to Gimp 2.10.28 - alain.roger - 09-23-2021
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
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

If you got the PPA from Panda Jim https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/+archive/ubuntu/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-appimage/releases/tag/continuous
Hope it helps

In fact I use the standard ppa to get Gimp

Working backwards
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/+archive/ubuntu/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.
