GIMP AppImage (continuous integration)

s7habo · September 13, 2018, 6:00pm

just discovered that in both last GIMP appimages (2.10.6 and 2.10.7) Foreground extract tool does’t have levin-matting engine (cannot be selected).

Thx.

This reminds me some problem I had in the past as well… I will investigate as soon as possible.

Thanks for checking and reporting this!

s7habo · September 13, 2018, 6:44pm

I have to thank you for the privilege to be able to work with the latest GIMP without any effort!

Carmelo_DrRaw · September 13, 2018, 8:17pm

It seems I fixed this quite easily - it was due to a missing dependency for GEGL.

Here is what I get with the latest, freshly produced, appimage:

Could you please confirm? Thanks!

s7habo · September 13, 2018, 8:44pm

Yesss it works now! Thanks a lot @Carmelo_DrRaw!!

Hi,
I’m on Linux Mint 19 and I get this error when running GIMP_AppImage-git-2.10.7-withplugins-20180913-x86_64.AppImage :
/tmp/.mount_GIMP_AAEQxle/usr/bin/gimp.bin: fatal error: Segmentation fault

@paperdigits I’m mentioning you to follow the discussion from Color Masks in Gimp

Carmelo_DrRaw · September 19, 2018, 7:56pm

@ChameleonScales
Could you please post the full terminal output from running the AppImage?
Do you have any special USB device plugged? There seems to be some known problem with some USB devices, as discussed here.

ChameleonScales · September 19, 2018, 8:11pm

Indeed! It’s my mouse. I unplugged it and could open GIMP. Then I plugged it back and it seems to work fine.
Full terminal output with segfault in case it’s still useful.

Carmelo_DrRaw · September 19, 2018, 8:26pm

I ma trying to prepare a new AppImage package from the current GIMP_2_10 branch, to see if this has already been fixed upstream… please keep an eye on the GitHub issue to see how this is progressing.

G’MIC crashes and does not open. Screenshot attached. System Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia updated. Screenshot_2018-09-21_10-40-11

Carmelo_DrRaw · September 21, 2018, 6:14am

Could you please check if the previous *withplugins* version works for you?

Thanks!

nnanda · September 21, 2018, 6:32am

Yes, the earlier version works. I also observe the differance in size of both the releases. The latest one is 10mb smaller. I hope this is due to optimizing only.

Carmelo_DrRaw · September 21, 2018, 9:32am

I discovered some mistake in the startup scripts of the AppImage package (I am still developing the scripts to make them more readable and general).

Could you please check the latest package (https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-appimage/releases/download/continuous/GIMP_AppImage-git-2.10.7-withplugins-20180921-x86_64.AppImage)? I did a quick check and G’MIC seems to work fine now.

nnanda · September 21, 2018, 1:36pm

Thanks. G’MIC is working in this latest Appimage on my system. Thanks once again for your dedication and hardwork.

The latest release fixes my mouse issue !

Carmelo_DrRaw · October 20, 2018, 8:28pm

Glad to know! I must say that this is entirely a merit of the GIMP developers.

Marcello_C · December 21, 2018, 5:10pm

Thank you for the Appimage it’s working really fine and saves me a lot of troubles when updating version!

I’m using it with Ubuntu Mate 64 bit 18.04.1, i have a little problem with the icon that isn’t

in the menus.

I attach a screenshot. This happens with every mate theme, being it Cupertino or traditional or redmond.

Thank you in advance.

Carmelo_DrRaw · December 21, 2018, 10:27pm

Happy to hear that!

I will investigate the icon problem, I have created an issue on GitHub not to forget about it: Missing menu icon under Ubuntu · Issue #25 · aferrero2707/gimp-appimage · GitHub
