Good Morning Garrett,

I have been using GIMP to perform screenshots and save the images as 
JPG, PNG, etc but never tried to load a file recently until you 
mentioned the problem. Checking I have the same results.

For GIMP I get the following errors :-

*Plug-in crashed: "file-jpeg" 
(/usr/lib/amd64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-jpeg/file-jpeg) The dying plug-in 
may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your 
images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side.*

*Opening '/home/russell/Documents/Pictures/Chocolate_Coronavirus.jpg' 
failed: Procedure 'file-jpeg-load' returned no return values *

In a similar vein, when using VirtualBox v7.1.4 when I attempt to run a 
VB as me via VirtualBox Manager or headless mode it terminates with a 
signal 11. The error generated by VirtualBox Manager is below

The virtual machine 'win7-ts4' has terminated unexpectedly during 
startup because of signal 11.

Result Code:

	

NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)

Component:

	

MachineWrap

Interface:

	

IMachine {e36a5081-a82a-40bd-9e4e-42a44d6ce50f}

However, if I use su to execute VirtualBox Manager as root and start a 
VB I created for root it works perfectly. I have checked the VBox 
settings (CPU, Memory, Display, USB, Storage (different files)) and they 
are identical. Not sure why a VBox run as root does not generate the 
signal 11.

Kind Regards

Russell
