Gimp crashed

My Gimp crashed and won't restart. I rebooted the laptop, uninstalled and reinstalled the program and uninstalled it, rebooted and did a command line installation. I also ran all my updates.

I'm running Linux Mint 14 and Gimp 2.8

When you started it from the command line, did any messages appear? What were they?

When you uninstalled it, did you do a "Complete removal" or only a reinstallation.

Suggestion.

1. Do a complete uninstallation 2. do an "updatedb"
3. Search for gimp
4. You will probably need to remove ~/.gimp-2.8 5. There maybe some residual gimp files which could be deleted safely.

then

6. Install gimp anew.

I uninstalled both from the software manager and synaptic package manager.
I also deleted ~/gimp-2.8. Then I did another command line install and once
it was finished -- no error messages -- then ran gimp. This the message I
got

(gimp:6910): Gimp-Base-CRITICAL **: temp_buf_new: assertion `width > 0 &&
height > 0' failed
Segmentation fault

OK, well you should probably reply to the list, rather than me as there are more eyes and knowledge on the list.

I tried "Gimp-Base-Gimp-Base-CRITICAL **: temp_buf_new: assertion `width" in google.

here's one answer

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=463772

have you ever had a tablet connected? Suggest you read through the google results and see if anything applies to you.

I certainly can't help any further

Gimp crashed

After uninstaling gimp completely using Synaptic, including deleting both gimp folders -- under usr and my home directory, rebooting and reinstalling, I got gimp working again.
