How to open gimp ,
i have installed gimp on ubuntu 14.04 from the software center but when i click the icon nothing happens , then i typed gimp on the terminal and i get the following message
"Segmentation fault (core dumped)"
also there is a software crash notification
ps -aux | grep gimp terminal result is
11724 0.0 0.0 15944 2204 pts/0 S+ 17:48 0:00 grep –color=auto gimp
Things that i have tried :
uninstalling and reinstalling it using ubuntu software center
uninstalling and reinstalling it using synaptic manager
performing the following commands
sudo apt-get autoremove gimp gimp-plugin-registry
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gimp
nothing is working
what can i do now , gimp was my favorite image editor back in windows and now i am not able to use it in ubuntu 14.04

i found a solution that worked for me . Just created a folder name .gimp-2.8 in my home directory
do not use sudo and it solved my problem :)
