When i select any tool and try to do something with it on the canvas, nothing happens, ecxept the mouse gets very juddery.
Does this happen in X11 session too?
i dont kow how to try this.
i tried to startx and to simply run gimp on another tty but this failed.
You added wayland as tag to your topic title, so i assumed you run under wayland session and you know how to switch sessions.
Open up terminal and provide from it:
inxi -Fazy
Also, open gimp from terminal and provide the errors you get. Please format the output text for better reading.
$ inxi -Fazy

$ gimp
Gtk-Message: 12:39:51.638: Failed to load module "topmenu-gtk-module"
~/.gtkrc-2.0:1: error: unexpected character ':', expected keyword - e.g. `style'
I just realized it is an x session 
Ok, so you are using topmenu-gtk from AUR, that might need a rebuild once you install the latest updates, but i wonder what custom thing you added to your
Not quite sure how much that will affect things in gimp, but might want to look into it:
I dont use topmenu-gtk because i got it never working.
in fact it isnt installed anymore.
the configuration line was for the module. gimp tried to use the module beacuse of the line, i deleted it.
however, it didn’t solve the problem
Well, you can remove then the file, restart your session and share the newer error you get when opening gimp from terminal.
Not sure also how to interpret this:
Do you have some custom driver installed for your GPU?
Also, never had issues with gimp, but might want to delete, or move the ~/.config/GIMP/ and start gimp fresh …
There is no new error message.
I dont remind to install any gpu drivers.
i solved it by moving the configuration file, i will try to find the wrong setting later this day and post it here.
Thanks for your help so far!
This seemd to be all pretty obivous stuff but i hadn’t really a way of approaching such an issue.
Edit:
The folder is quite big an i found no suspicious differences at a broad overview. It wasn’t the config file.
