    Why are you running gimp as root lol?

    Also they’ve been working on upgrading to gtk3 for a decade so hopefully that fixes everything

    I don’t see any errors, just warnings. And GTK is very verbose about warnings…

      The app run fine but ui are mass up and unusable because of missing themes engines, and it crash (I got segmentation fault) if I try to change theme to system theme it’s fine 3 days ago

        Gimp is likely still using gtk2, which means you need a theme that supports gtk2. That’s probably old and un-maintained, since gtk2 has been End-Of-Life for a while now. gimp 3.0 is approaching though.

            Is gtk not backward compatible with older version?

            New main versions of software usually is not compatible with old versions. That’s one of the points of new main versions. You cannot load Qt 3 themes into Qt 6 either.

            Additionally, I think 3.18 onward doesn’t even support theming engines. As said, though, GIMP is stuck on GTK2.

            If you’re having a lot of trouble, perhaps just go with the Flatpak.

            They tend to use different theming engines each major version, so I don’t believe they are.

    Please specify:

    • What distribution
    • What architecture
    • What desktop environment
    • What you have done so far to try to resolve the problem (e.g have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the package?)

    Based on your host name, I’m assuming it’s Arch. From what I can tell from the terminal output, Ghostscript is missing (thus the libgs.so error). Maybe try reinstalling it with Pacman. Did you update your system and it somehow got autoremoved (I don’t know Arch that well)?

      I installed ghostscript and it doesn’t give me error anymore but it still crash if I try to change theme (script-fu:2516): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: 14:13:54.547: script-fu: gimp_wire_read(): error Segmentation fault (core dumped)

    @ColdWater I wouldn’t say its GTK fault. Reinstall ghostscript. gimp Is complaining about the postscript plugin that cant start
