A few weeks ago, Gimp was working fine, then I tried to open it, the icon flashes away a bit, and then closes again, one time there appeared a dialog which told me that Gimp had unexpectedly closed, and I could choose wether I wanted to restart the program or leave it closed. Restarting had no effect.
Then I started Gimp via terminal, and got this output:

Segmentatiefout (geheugendump gemaakt)
The last half are errors from a theme I had installed.
I have tried reinstalling, purging the installation via terminal and via Synaptic, but I still get the same result.
Running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Seems that you installed an icon pack or theme that doesn't let you run
gimpif that's the case don't use that theme and report it to the creator.Try deleting
gimpand reinstalling it withthen just delete the Gimp config files
and reinstall it
let me know if this worked, hope this helps
