Title: help getting GIMP appimage to work in Pure64
Post by: GNUser on October 08, 2019, 12:27:38 PM

The gimp TC extension pulls in a lot of dependencies, so I'm trying to use an AppImage instead.

The AppImage for the latest GIMP release (2.10.12) for x86_64 is here (near the bottom):
https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-appimage/releases/tag/continuous

Supposedly all one needs to do is

Code: [Select]

bruno@box:~$ tce-load -wi fuse
bruno@box:~$ cd Downloads
bruno@box:~/Downloads$ chmod a+x GIMP_AppImage-release-2.10.12-withplugins-x86_64.AppImage
bruno@box:~/Downloads$ ./GIMP_AppImage-release-2.10.12-withplugins-x86_64.AppImage
DIR: /tmp/.mount_GIMP_AzTplZ8
AILIBDIR=/tmp/tmp.BurYu7
But that's the end of the road for me: gimp window never shows up, no additional information shows up in the terminal other than those two cryptic "DIR" and "AILIBDIR" lines. I tried the same AppImage in Debian and it worked just fine.

Here is an strace in TC in case it helps: https://pastebin.com/wRJBfxcw

Any idea how to get this AppImage to work in Pure64 10.1?

The strace spawned several children, but didn't do anything interesting itself. You'd need the -f option to strace to track kids too.

Here you go, with -f option this time:

In this version I see, near the end, a complaint about fuse not being able to mount the AppImage. fuse.tcz is loaded and I'm able to use other AppImages, so I don't know what that's about.

I extracted the AppImage and made some progress, but each time I fix an error two new ones pop up.

AppImages are great when they work. When they don't work, they are Gordian knots. Never mind and sorry for the noise.

The dependency tree of gimp2.tcz is more reasonable than that of gimp.tcz, and the extension works great. Thanks for this and all your awesome extensions, juanito!

The developer for this particular AppImage is looking into it.
The open issue is here: https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-appimage/issues/37
