Hi,

After installing 2.4.0-rc3, I was configuring the preferences, as I was trying out the settings,
when I double clicked the 'Main Mouse Wheel' device under File/Preferences/Input Devices/Input Controllers, Gimp disappears and dies.

(script-fu:13801): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: gimp_wire_read(): error

I tried it a few times, and it blows out all the time.

Regards Rich

Seems to work fine for me. Please start gimp from a terminal window and check if there's any output before it crashes.

It would be good to investigate this further. Please see http://gimp.org/bugs/howtos/bugzilla.html for a detailed description on how to submit a useful bug report.

Thanks, I'll try rebuilding it again. Would there be any conflicts running 2.2.x, 2.3.x, and 2.4.x ?
I tried compiling with the --disable-shared and that seemed to resolve the lib issue with 2.3.
ldd looked okay, it was using the rc3 libs.

If it persists, I'll submit a bug report.

Hi,

I tried recompiling, same results. So this time I renamed the plugin dir /usr/local/lib/gimp/2.0 and restarted gimp-2.4. This time, a new keyboard and mouse controller
appeared in the Input Devices of the Preferences. I was able to enable both, KB and Mouse Wheel.
So now there are 4 devices (2 keyboard, 2 mouse wheel), but two of them have the word Main in their title and the icons are different. I can set and configure the two entries without the word Main, I select the item and click the configure button and the dialog appears. However, if I select one of the items with the word Main and click the edit button, Gimp crashes.

I then renamed the .gimp-2.4 dir in home, seemed to have no effect. Still crashes.
I copied the mappings from the Main items into the new items and the mappings work.

I do see this for quite a few modules.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/colorxhtml.py", line 25, in

import gimp ImportError: No module named gimp

(gimp-2.4:16450): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: gimp-2.4: gimp_wire_read(): error

I do see gimp.la and gimp.a in python dir /usr/local/lib/gimp/2.0/python

When I tried renaming the 2.0x dir back to 2.0, gimp complained about not being able to enable controller. And when I tried the options on the input device, it blew out. I renamed the 2.0new to 2.0 and the previous 2.0 to 2.0x. Restarted gimp, and now the input devices (non-Main) popup the edit dialog fine.
I compared the dirs and found in the dir that fails, I see .so libs.

As long as I don't select the prefs for Main input devices, seems to run fine.
I tried getting any output, but there is only the LibGimpBase error msg. I tried doing a stack trace to see if anything else popped up as I pressed the pref option on the controller.

One more item - I thought about comparing the controllers in the controllerrc file.

There were two lines missing from the Main Mouse Wheel and Main Keyboard. I added the stock-id and controller items and removed the other two controllers that were added.
I started gimp, I can now select and edit them fine - the dialog works and no more crashing.

(GimpControllerInfo "Main Mouse Wheel" (stock-id "gimp-controller-wheel") (enabled yes)
(debug-events no)
(controller "GimpControllerWheel") (mapping
::::
(GimpControllerInfo "Main Keyboard"
(stock-id "gimp-controller-keyboard") (enabled yes)
(debug-events no)
(controller "GimpControllerKeyboard") (mapping
:::

Thanks
Rich

One last note, :)

I was testing the mappings, and it seems the context mappings for the mouse wheel do not work.
I updated them to match the new mappings - now everything works fine. (thanks for the debug events).
Maybe there is a default that needs to be updated.

(GimpControllerInfo "Main Mouse Wheel" (stock-id "gimp-controller-wheel") (enabled yes)

Hi,

it sounds as if you managed to screw things up quite badly. You can't have several versions of GIMP installed unless you put them into separate prefixes outside the system search paths. Using '/usr/local' doesn't count as a separate prefix. Please see the release notes for the development releases:

http://gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.3.html

If you followed those instructions, and there are still problems, then it would be nice to get a bug report with a stack trace from the crash. What you included in your mail was the output from strace. That's not very useful to debug a crash. What we need is a back-trace generated from gdb. But for most problems it should be sufficient to have a detailed description that allows us to reproduce the problem.

Thanks. I'll check out the site. Cleaning up the so's from 2.3 worked. Updating the context actions restored the mouse wheel options.
