no can gimp no more

Mondays are Artix days, OS'es are just plug-ins for my apps
Artix Linux, Kernel=6.0.7-artix1-1.1 on x86_64,
DM=Unknown, DE=KDE, ST=x11,grub2, GPT, BIOS-boot

Today I just realised that I cannot launch gimp either. Reinstalled the last version  gimp-2.10.32-2 but trying to invoke it only produces

Code: [Select]
# gimp
Illegal instruction

Under /usr/bin is a gimp link pointing to gimp-2.10.32-2

Wednesdays are Slackware days so I booted Artix to get the  read and then Leap to post the result from where the "= -1"'s begin:

looks like a dependency issue but how can gimp install with dependency issues?

i.e. gimp was working before, it got done-in by some other upgrade?

Not really, I don't see any opening of non-existent libraries or files, just a SIGILL with the si_code of "Illegal operand"

I don't know how or why, but apparently an x86 instruction is being called with illegal operands.

My guess is that this Gimp build is broken if you've updated.

If you're really desperate, I would highly suggest compiling Gimp from source to see if it works.

Does anyone else use Gimp that either works or has this problem?

The latest GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.10.32 runs without issue on my system.
I did just installed this. The configuration folder was a freshly created one. I do not have any 3rd party addons installed. So maybe some other 3rd package is causing the failure on start. Is it possible that a mirror has a damaged package?

Is there a particular reason or is KDE forcing you to use GIMP as root?
Strace may be powerful, but I would use GIMP diagnostics first:

Code: [Select]
gimp --verbose
gimp --help-all
man gimp
"Wer alles kann, macht nichts richtig"

Artix USE="runit openrc slim openbox lxde gtk2 qt4 qt5 qt6 conky
-gtk3 -gtk4 -adwaita{cursors,themes,icons} -gnome3 -kde -plasma -wayland "

when my gimp is gimped i feel like a wimp and my ego blows up to the size of a blimp until it pops, deflated and limp.  -the simp.

mate dinit no issues with gimp.  i use it from artix repos doing the standard home user stuff to mostly crop images for memes or facebook updates and such.  

what repos are you using other than artix ones?  what have you installed from the aur that is gimp related?

Not as root, I just like a simple prompt so I use the # character in gold as user and have it turned red when su'd as root

Sorry if it's confusing

/usr/bin/gimp gives same result

I deleted gimp with

Code: [Select]
# pacman -R gimp

then deleted every instance of gimp I could find, then reinstalled it

Code: [Select]
# pacman -S gimp

I still get

Code: [Select]
# gimp
Illegal instruction

delete gimp with
Code: [Select]
pacman -Rns gimp
also remove any existing gimp config in
Code: [Select]
~/.config/GIMP
remove any exiting cache by
Code: [Select]
pacman -Sc

install gimp again from artix's world repo
and check if output of this command is as mine. (I'm looking if there's some alias or wrapper)
Code: [Select]
$ which gimp
/usr/bin/gimp
if you can't run gimp at this point try reinstalling all the gimp dependencies. here's the list
Code: [Select]
babl  dbus-glib  desktop-file-utils  gegl  glib-networking  hicolor-icon-theme  openjpeg2  lcms2  libheif  libexif  libgudev libmng  libmypaint  librsvg  libwebp  libwmf  libxmu  libxpm  mypaint-brushes1  openexr  poppler-data  gtk2  graphviz

Has OP tried install debuginfod and gdb and running GIMP through it? Maybe it could show the offending source line.
