| Post subject: | Corrupted display on custom platform |
GIMP Version: 2.8.14 Operating System: Linux GIMP Experience: Basic Level Hey folks, sorry about the grammar etc..., English is not my mother language... I've got an issue there, which might be uncommon. So, to make it quick: I work with a ***very*** customized Linux (kind of slackware derived). Bad thing: it's uncommon and "off tracks", Good thing, I can recompile everything, down to the kernel. Compilation of Gimp v2.10.12 along with its dependencies went OK, Gimp starts. The problem comes when action begins: moving layers, selecting, even moving the cursor... It's like after something has hovered on top, redrawing uses misplaced pixels/sprites... It's pretty hard to describe, so I grabbed a video. Unfortunately I can't post it here because the youtube link in the post causes the error: "your post looks too spamy for a new user, please remove off-site URLs. ", and trying to upload a .mp4 I get "The extension mp4 is not allowed.". Maybe in another post when I get older??? I am not in a hurry, but I am determined! I really want to use Gimp which I have got used to in the past (on another platform). I am ready for a long journey! If anyone can give me any direction to look at, even just for debugging, or just for describing in english this type of error (for web search): I will take! I'm looking for any type of help. Maybe the first question is: "where is the best place to ask??". Usually I end up asking in the "developer" section, maybe someone can tell me where I can find this type of community for gimp? Cheers! |

For Gimp 2.10 issues, try asking on the Gimp Developers Mailing List see: https://www.gimp.org/mail_lists.html Quote: ..a ***very*** customized Linux (kind of slackware derived).. Might be anything but sometimes having OpenCL enabled causes problems. In Edit -> Prefernces -> System Resources -> Hardware Acceleration, untick (if it is ticked) Use OpenCL. best of luck. |

Ok, sorry to have bothered everybody, I found what the problem was: cairo and/or pixman library too old. (a litting digging into the code helped me find out what functions were used when the problem happened) rich2005 is very right: the gimp developer mailing list looks like the best place to ask! I'm now in!!! for real!!! YEAAAAHHHHHHH |

Good on you for going in this direction. Compiling is an interesting experience. Looks like you are on a new Linux distro or the start of one. |
