Just started gimp for the very first time on fedora 34 and it pops up a authenticate dialog asking for root password.
What in the great googly-moogly is this about?
(Stderr has some message about xsane so maybe it wants to configure a scanner which I do not have on the system). How do I make it stop forever and never ask again?
Sounds like a "personal problem".
Just installed gimp on 2 F34 VM's. One Workstation, the other KDE spin. When gimp is started on both, no request for root's (or any other) password.
Why don't you try the same thing in a newly created user account?
