GIMP Version: 2.10.18
Operating System: Linux
GIMP Experience: Basic Level


Dear Gimp Users

After I made an update to the Chromebook os in Gimp software I can not see
1. The colors in the color plate
2. The Patterns in the patterns window.

Do you also have the same problem after Chromebook OS update ?
Any ideas ?

To SOLVED the problem I Open the Chromebook OS Flags page
" chrome://flags/#crostini-gpu-support "

and disabled the graphic acceleration to --> disable.

Thanks
Doron.

No idea and I don't use ChromeBook. There is a quick thing you can try. Locate the "2.10" folder in your user files and delete or move it. Then start Gimp and it should create a new one. If it fixes the problem, then copy all your plugins, scripts, patterns etc into the new 2.10 folder.

You can find it here: /home/user/.config/GIMP/ (if is a normal gimp) or here: /home/user/.config/GIMP-AppImage/ (if it is an appimage.

As racer-x has already explained.
With one exception,
Do not delete your current user profile folder/files.
The update to your ChromeBook,
may have done something to your GIMP user profile.
If you move or rename your current user profile folder.
Then launch GIMP,
it will create a new user profile folder,
where you can check if doing this has fixed the issue.

Thanks a lot for all the answers !!!

I rename my current user profile folder.
Then I launch GIMP,
But it did not help.

So I will wait for the next OS version.

Try experimenting with Themes and Icon Themes to see if that helps.
