First i would do like noobmonkey posted, start it up from xterm

But it sounds like it didn't update the mypaint-data, that happend to me when I updated to maemo8.

You could fix it with this in xterm:
sudo gainroot 'enter'
apt-get install mypaint-data 'enter'
(extras-devel enabled before doing this and remember to disable after).


@jackie_jagger read post #294 on page 30 there anders_gud gives full instructions on how to install the mypaint

i ran mypaint from xterm

it says : default brush collection not found! it should have been here : /opt/mypaint/share/mypaint/ tell me what to do

Try to run these to in xterm and post the result:

apt-cache policy mypaint
apt-cache policy mypaint-data

It's only to see if mypaint and mypaint-data are the same version

how do i copy the whole output in here

Dousan | # 315 | 2010-05-10, 13:03 | Report

Then just check the line that says installed: on both outputs (mypaint and mypaint-data) and make sure that they are the same if not post here the versions you have installed.

Mine is 0.8.2-1maemo10 on both

Ok, now for me mypaint is fully functional.

Had the layers Bug with the Hildonized menu, but with gtk_menu all is good.

Not sure, what is the problem with the Hildonized menu. If needed, can recreate the Error message and post it here.


One more thing. The slow startup problem. QtIrreco had the same problem in the beginning. But later they solved the problem and now the app is very nice and fast. Maybe would be worth the while to ask thoes guys what they did. http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...light=QtIrreco
