Gimp tools not working

I have upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04 and Gimp 2.6 was installed with it.  When I
started to use Gimp, none of the tools worked. I could select a tool and move
it over a picture, but nothing happens.  I have been using Gimp for several
years on the same computer with previous versions of Ubuntu and Gimp 2.4
worked perfectly with Ubuntu 8.10.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled using
the Gimp site, apt-get install and Synaptic all with the same result.

Could this be a bug for my AMD chip-set?
Are there some files missing from the original Ubuntu installation?
Is it possible to install version 2.4 instead?

Hi,

Gimp saves only the user settings into the .gimp folder. If you remove
it Gimp will create a new one and resets all settings to default.

Can please post a link to a screenshot, perhaps we can then see the
problem better.

Regards,
Tobias

Make sure you're on the right layer and the layer is not locked.

hi there
i had the same problem after upgrading to 9.04. i could select the tools but could not drag over the image with any of the tools effectively rendering each tool useless. after unplugging my stylus (genius pensketch) and restarting gimp it was restored back to normal usage.
