Gimp not working

[Neo00001]

Specs- Manjaro(KDE): kernel-4.19.34.1, Firejail-0.9.58.2-1, GIMP-2.10.10-1

I tried to open gimp but nothing launches. When I looked at task manager it shows gimp as zombie. Don't know what goes wrong. Debug

Hm.. with Debian-Buster and Firejail 0.9.58, Gimp is running flawlessly. I would kill all Gimp/Firejail instances, and retest it again. Sometimes a process hangs under some circumstances, what block new instance of same process. I didn't found any other problems.

same thing is happening with kdenlive. Most likely, it's an arch issue. Although browsers & many other apps are working flawlessly.

Have you tried firejail --debug /usr/bin/gimp ? What's the output of echo $PATH ? I'm asking because I'm also using Manjaro and I had to modify the PATH as /usr/local/bin was not included (or, at least, not at the beginning of PATH). I added the following to ~/.bashrc:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:/home/seeker/bin"

If my assumption is correct, firejail --list should reveal that your browser etc. are not sandboxed.

Apart from gimp & kdenlive, everything else is working for me. Both are being showed as zombie.

btw, firejail --noprofile is working for gimp.

@Neo00001 Looking at your debug log, I see this on line 482:

Warning: an existing sandbox was detected. /usr/bin/gimp will run without any additional sandboxing features

To me that suggests gimp was called from within another firejailed application (an image-viewer or the likes?). If so, that would explain what you're describing. As a general rule, applications started from within any other firejailed program inherit the parent's profile. And in this case that profile isn't built to access gimp. If what I'm describing here fits your use-case, try starting gimp independently and open whatever image file(s) you need from within gimp.

@Neo00001 duplicate of #2681?

[Neo00001]

@rusty-snake I've re-installed manjaro & after that everything is working smoothly again.I'm not sure what actually did go wrong.
btw,I haven't changed anything in gimp.profile. I was having problem in kdenlive also but after re-installation of manjaro that's also working properly.

Great! Glad to hear it resolved itself on your end :)
