[solved] Latest GIMP flatpak not loading...

Software GIMP
1

Hi all, just noticed the latest flatpak (v3.0.4 I think) doesn’t launch. Anyone else have this issue? If the package maintainer lurks the corridors here, could you please check or offer some advise please?

Tried rebooting PC, no change.

I’m using LMDE6 if that’s any help. :blush:

Cheers,
Baldrick

If you start from a terminal (*) do you see any messages?

(*) flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP or some such, check the desktop launch entry

On my Ubuntu 24.04 system the flatpak version of Gimp 3.0.4 runs just fine.

Thanks for that. Ran in terminal, output below.

Interesting that this picked up a dev version of 2.10? The version I had was def 3.0.4 according to the splash page. Failed to load lots of modules. The version that loaded just now interminal looked completely different to the layout I had. Was that the intent?

Cheers,

Wasn’t an issue before the last update.
