Can't select any presets for any module

Software darktable

Hi,

I just upgraded to Darktable 5.0 from 4.8:

DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS

And for some reason, I can no longer select presets for any modules.

For example if I pull an image into Darktable, if I select the color balance rgb module, and select the hamburger menu, and select a preset, NOTHING changes - no sliders move, and - unlike in 4.8 - no check mark shows up next to the preset that I selected (which makes sense since its not acting selected).

What am i missing?

Things I’ve done so far:

  • tried several different modules, and several different presets. No luck.
  • moved the .config/darktable directory out of the way to ensure my config is not the culprit. I restarted darktable, and it created a new database, etc. But still - i am unable to select presets on any module.

Anyone have any thoughts?

  • Thanks,

Todd

Hey @Todd_Seidenberg welcome!

Is this a flatpak? Self compiled? Obs repo? How did you get dt?

Hello! I grabbed it via the apt repos.

APT-Sources: https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/ubuntuhandbook1/darktable/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages

Also - i just attempted to create my own preset - the preset was saved, but again, i can’t apply it.

Note that if I manually move the sliders, they work just fine. Its just the presets that aren’t able to be selected

Ah I have no clue about that repo.

It’s a repo that comes with pop!_os and it’s the repo from where I’ve installed darktable/upgraded it in the past.

Are there any suggestions for what I might do to get presets to behave?

It comes with pop_os? That’s an interesting choice.

  1. Start darktable from the terminal: darktable -d common,
  2. Try and trigger a preset.
  3. Paste the terminal output here.
