[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[carlos (nitrosito)]

me too :(

[Angel Guzman Maeso (shakaran)]

Same here. Gimps start well, but probably it is using slow operations with GEGL

[Marek (demarco-25)]

Same here. Gimp starts, but then crashes when trying use Text tool (no matter, what font) or Cage Transform.

[snapy (sdfjsfjaei-hans)]

I also have these warnings.

Maybe this is unrelated but for me sometimes when Gimp starts it's incredibly slow and it only seems to work again when I kill it and restart it. (Note that I have a fast machine and 8 GiB of memory.)

[helgen (helgen77)]

same here, will not start

[NevaDA (nevada)]

same here, periodically crashes during "cage transform"

I tested with upstream source of gimp-2.8.18.tar.bz2 [https://download.gimp.org/mirror/pub/gimp/v2.8/].
It is specifically compiled against gegl-0.2.

Ubuntu 16.04 has gegl-0.3 (and not gegl-0.2). Debian and Ubuntu both use bump_Babl-GEGL_versions.patch:
-PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GEGL, gegl-0.2 >= gegl_required_version)
+PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GEGL, gegl-0.3 >= gegl_required_version)

I made this modification and compiled upstream gimp-2.8.18.tar.bz2. And encountered same startup warnings.

---
I installed gegl-0.2 (runtime+devel) from Ubuntu-14.04 (It needs also these old packages: libopenexr6 libilmbase6 libumfpack5.6.2 libamd2.3.1 libcholmod2.1.2 libcamd2.3.1 libccolamd2.8.0 libcolamd2.8.0). Then I compiled Ubuntu-16.04's version of gimp, gimp-2.8.16-1ubuntu1 against gegl-0.2 (dropping gegl-part of bump_Babl-GEGL_versions.patch and tuning debian/control).

Now this gimp does NOT have these warnings. So the base reason for these gegl-warnings seems to be too new gegl. (Or some of those other dependency libraries).

---

bump_Babl-GEGL_versions.patch seems to relate this debian bugreport: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=790421 (migrating from gegl-0.2 to gegl-0.3).

[Ted (tedcap)]

I've fully updated all my packages and I am still getting this bug when running gimp from the command line. Has anyone found a fix to this or do I need to revert to an older version of gimp for it to work again?

[GreenLeaf (drmac)]

I get the same list of warnings if I run GIMP from the terminal. GIMP does work OK with JEPGs. However it will not load CR2 raw files via UFRaw plugin gives a “Opening 'file location & name' failed: Procedure 'file-ufraw-load' returned no return values” error . Also the stand alone UFRaw will not load CR2 files. Will these issues be related?

[G.M. (sexxxenator)]

Same problem under ubuntu 16.10...

[GreenLeaf (drmac)]

Same issue on 16.04, see https://askubuntu.com/questions/845574/ubuntu-16-04-gimp-ufraw-crash-when-loading-canon-cr2-files

[Gan Uesli Starling (aplonis)]

I have same issue running 16.04 while trying to run the batch script batch-unsharp-mask.scm

[Peter Flynn (frisket)]

I have the identical issue under Mint 18. Google works fine, but they just fill up my console :-) They're only warnings, but it would be nice if someone could clean up the code.
