Have you found a solution to this? I'm having a similar problem. I upgraded to GIMP 2.6.2 on Hardy (8.04), on a K6 II machine. Binaries and libraries were obtained from getdeb.net (http://www.getdeb.net/app/Gimp), and installed with these directions: sudo apt-get remove gimp gimp-data Download and save all five GIMP packages from GetDeb. Double-click on the packages to install them, in this order: 1. libbabl-0.0-0_0.0.22-1~getdeb1_i386.deb 2. libgegl-0.0-0_0.0.18-1~getdeb1_i386.deb 3. libgimp2.0_2.6.2-1~getdeb1_i386.deb 4. gimp-data_2.6.2-1~getdeb1_all.deb 5. gimp_2.6.2-1~getdeb1_i386.deb 2.6.2 seemed to work, until I tried to change brightness or contrast, then it crashed. If the Preview box is unchecked, no crash. Certainly suspicious that we are both having the problem with K6-II... Hopefully a developer will look into that! I installed to another 8.04 machine (not K6, is a Celeron 800, works without a problem there) Note that getdeb.net has 2.6.3 also, but only for Intrepid (8.10).
