I installed Kubuntu 11.04 64bit today.

First let me expose some issues, this is not a rant, just some observations on Kubuntu 11.04 :)

  • Flash doesn't work. The package "flashplugin-installer" was installed by rekonq. But still no flash.

  • Additional Drivers (jockey-kde) doesn't show up automatically after first login.

  • I tried to delete a large file (19,2 GB), an error appeared: "Please empty the trash first, no more space available" or something like that, but you know what? My trash was empty! (Then I found in Dolphin the settings to increment the max size of the trash).

  • Amarok has no play/pause/forward/back buttons, only after changing settings to show those buttons on the top bar.

  • GTK applications like ubuntu software center, inkscape... are in english, but my default language is "german". Only gimp allows to install the "de" language pack.

  • The numblock turns off after each restart. In the KDE Control Center, the "remember last state" of numblock is set. But this is not working.

  • I had some crashes: Nepomuk, Policy-kit, plasma-workspace and gimp.

But now to the important stuff. I really need Gimp to work. After starting it, I get a crash:

giowck@giowck-desktop:~$ gimp

(gimp:1899): GLib-WARNING **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.28.6/./glib/goption.c:2132: ignoring no-arg, optional-arg or filename flags (8) on option of type 0 Speicherzugriffsfehler (in English: "Memory error")

What can I do to run Gimp?

Thanks
