When I try to load GIMP, the splash screen flickers on, but disappears as soon as it shows.

When opening through terminal, the following error is displayed:

GEGL-geglmodule.c-Message: Module '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gegl-0.2/remap.so' load error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gegl-0.2/remap.so: undefined symbol: gegl_operation_point_composer3_get_type Segmentation fault (core dumped)

All help is appreciated as using it soon is required. >.<

Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit Gimp version is 2.8

The following is an error I get when trying to 'Sudo apt-get upgrade'. This probably is related.

The following packages have unmet dependencies. libopenal1 : Breaks: libopenal1:i386 (!= 1:1.14-4ubuntu1) but 1:1.13-4ubuntu3 is >installed libopenal1:i386 : Depends: libopenal-data:i386 (= 1:1.13-4ubuntu3) Breaks: libopenal1 (!= 1:1.13-4ubuntu3) but 1:1.14-4ubuntu1 is >installed

  • Is it a custom build of gimp? I would guess that your version of gimp and the GEGL library version don't match - could you post the gimp version? Is it 2.6 or 2,8? – jmetz Aug 05 '12 at 01:53
  • I can confirm that despite similar undefined_symbol errors, my gimp loads no problem. – jmetz Aug 05 '12 at 01:57
  • What Ubuntu version are you running? – John S Gruber Aug 05 '12 at 02:03

  • Did this start to happen after a recent update? – jmetz Aug 05 '12 at 02:11

    This question should instead be filed as a bug report, and as such is off-topic, thanks! Instructions on filing a bug report are here. – Jjed Aug 05 '12 at 02:16
  • @mutzmatron - well, recently I've had problems with dependencies. I'll update with the terminal error I receive when trying to update my software. – Gilgamesh Aug 05 '12 at 02:16
  • @JacobJohanEdwards - thank you for informing me of this. However, can I keep the question open for now? New information has been uncovered that it may be a problem regarding my dependencies. Until that is discovered to be the issue or not, would it be okay? – Gilgamesh Aug 05 '12 at 02:17
  • I just have one vote, which I've already cast. We'll see. In another note, I doubt libopenal has much to do with GIMP library error. – Jjed Aug 05 '12 at 02:27
  • @JacobJohanEdwards - Thanks. I'll delete the question and set to asking how to deal with the other problem then. Who knows, it will probably be because I can't update and the GEGL is out of date... – Gilgamesh Aug 05 '12 at 02:31
  • Where were gimp 2.8 and libgegl-0.2 installed from? I see earlier versions in Precise myself. – John S Gruber Aug 05 '12 at 02:32
  • @JohnSGruber - GIMP 2.8 was installed from a PPA provided for the newer release. Interestingly, in my Home folder, there is only a .gegl-0.0 folder... – Gilgamesh Aug 05 '12 at 02:36
  • It's always tricky to build more recent versions of software than your system officially supports, especially larger projects like gimp. It can become very difficult to meet all of the library dependencies without creating conflicts. – jmetz Aug 05 '12 at 02:37

    PPA's aren't really part of Ubuntu. You should probably pursue the issue with the owner of the PPA. They may know of the problem. It may simply not be compatible with 12.04. – John S Gruber Aug 05 '12 at 02:37

    While I agree that the PPA owner may be a good resource, this question is not off-topic. "Running third-party applications on Ubuntu" is explicitly one of the things you can ask for help with, on this site. (Some PPA issues might be considered too localized, however.) – Eliah Kagan Aug 05 '12 at 02:44

Try to force install the dependencies using the following and let me know if that worked

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f

restart the computer then try 

sudo apt-get install gimp
