Irritating 'No Disk' pop-up in the GIMP

xpatUSA · May 22, 2017, 1:42pm

Recently, I get this when I click on File>Open:

V 2.8 but experimental 2.9 does it too.

Any ideas or shall I just re-install them?

Thanks for lookiing!

When a similar message was happening in rawtherapee, the fix was to disable the floppy drive in your EFI/BIOS.

A similar error in RawTherapee could be solved with this patch:

Currently: Windows RawTherapee-64-release-gtk3-bugfix-4.2.1425 [AboutThisBuild-…RawTherapee-64-release-gtk3-bugfix-4.2.1425.txt](https://github.com/Beep6581/RawTherapee/files/656374/AboutThisBuild-RawTherapee-64-release-gtk3-bugfix-4.2.1425.txt) I've attached a screenshot of my Windows 10 info: ![sshot-86](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/11284917/21251498/029a094c-c303-11e6-9873-df4b77361010.jpg) Exact steps: Launch RT, and these errors start popping up like crazy: ![sshot-87](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/11284917/21251564/7fc64412-c303-11e6-9a52-a9761ef86fa1.jpg) It cycles through about five of my drive letters with this error message about ten times before loading RT. This time I actually wiped everything RT related out of my OS drive and reinstalled RT, and had gaaned92's Windows 'RawTherapee-64-release-gtk3-bugfix-4.2.1412' installed since yesterday and used it off and on all day without experiencing this problem. Launched it again tonight and started having the problem. So uninstalled RawTherapee-64-release-gtk3-bugfix-4.2.1425 and deleted program files then installed gaaned92's Windows RawTherapee-64-release-gtk3-bugfix-4.2.1425 build but continued to get the error messages. I then reinstalled Squyaders 'RawTherapee_WinVista_64_Gtk3_Release_4.2.1375' and do not have this issue with this build. Lastly, I installed gaaned92's RawTherapee_WinVista_64_**debug**_gtk3-bugfix_4.2.1425, which also generates the 'no disk' error messages o'plenty. [AboutThisBuild.txt](https://github.com/Beep6581/RawTherapee/files/656401/AboutThisBuild.txt) ***I followed the Windows debug steps twice but each time the log file was empty at the end of the run. I copied the command prompt info into a text file manually and have attached here so you can see that I did try. I don't know if the info helps any though... [debug-attempt.txt](https://github.com/Beep6581/RawTherapee/files/656418/debug-attempt.txt) ***I also have two more of gaaned92's Windows builds installed that **do not** have the no disk problem: RawTherapee-64-release-locallab-4.2.1265 and RawTherapee-64-release-pixelshift-4.2.1241. So the problem seems isolated to the gtk3 builds. I thought I might try thoroughly wiping everything out again entirely then reinstalling, but figured I'd submit this bug report first to see if we can isolate the problem in some better way... More background info: First experienced this 'No Disk' issue in gaaned92's Windows 'RawTherapee-64-release-gtk3-bugfix-4.2.1396' build. See [this post.](https://discuss.pixls.us/t/new-windows-builds/615/390?u=todd) At the time I had Sguyader's Windows 4.2.1291 build installed which didn't have this issue, as none of his builds have ever had this problem. I didn't have the problem with gaaned92's build until I'd been using it for a day or two.... I figured the issue was due to my modified options file conflicting with gaaned92's build but didn't want to mess with my working Sguyader install... Finally just some days ago decided to thoroughly uninstall Squyaders latest working 'RawTherapee_WinVista_64_Gtk3_Release_4.2.1375' including the appdata stuff and try the latest gaaned92 Windows 'RawTherapee-64-release-gtk3-bugfix-4.2.1412' build and was happy to not see the no disk error messages..

What’s your gimp version?
This bug should have been fixed lone ago:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170948
@heckflosse Gimp uses gtk2 and not gtk3

I think the best open a new bugreport.

“When a similar message was happening in rawtherapee, the fix was to disable the floppy drive in your EFI/BIOS.”

Thanks for the tip but my last programming activity was in M68000 assembler on a “Fat” Macintosh in the 80’s.

Messing with a PC for me is fraught with danger, sadly.

“A similar error in RawTherapee could be solved with this patch:”

Thanks too, but I am no longer a programmer of any kind unfortunately.

Because V2.8 and V2.9 do it, simplying re-loading probably won’t fix it, IMHO, so if anyone has specific instructions i.e. command window line-by-line for a Win 7 Pro, Core i5, Dell I would be most grateful.
