Gimp tools not working

I have upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04 and Gimp 2.6 was installed with it. When I started to use Gimp, none of the tools worked. I could select a tool and move it over a picture, but nothing happens. I have been using Gimp for several years on the same computer with previous versions of Ubuntu and Gimp 2.4 worked perfectly with Ubuntu 8.10. I have uninstalled and reinstalled using the Gimp site, apt-get install and Synaptic all with the same result.

Could this be a bug for my AMD chip-set? Are there some files missing from the original Ubuntu installation? Is it possible to install version 2.4 instead?

Just looked at .gimp folder and all the folders (brushes etc) are empty.

How do I get data into them?

Sorry -- That file is empty in other computers. The usr,share,gimp folders

DO have data in them. Why doesn't it work!!

Gimp saves only the user settings into the .gimp folder. If you remove it Gimp will create a new one and resets all settings to default.

Can please post a link to a screenshot, perhaps we can then see the problem better.

Regards,
Tobias

Make sure you're on the right layer and the layer is not locked.
