GIMP Crashes/Segfaults

Description:

Basic operations are segfaulting or crashing.

File -> New with any settings segfaults on my machine.

Opening a JPG/PNG also throws errors and fails.

Plug-in crashed: "file-png" (/usr/lib/gimp/3.0/plug-ins/file-png/file-png)

The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.

Additional info:

Version 3.0.4-4

I have removed all cache and settings, even on a fresh install this happens.

  • package version(s):
  • config and/or log files:
  • link to upstream bug report, if any:

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open GIMP
  2. Try to create a new file
  3. Watch it segfault
To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
