For the ubuntu ppa: I use Kubuntu 16.04, I would not give the ppa info if it was not ok.
When it comes to creating shapes there is both a very old and depending what you want, not very good built in filter gfig
Advantage, it is built in.
see: https://docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-gfig.html and as an example http://i.imgur.com/qIWJz5i.jpg
Then there are scripts such as the old shape-path script. http://registry.gimp.org/node/59
Put that in your gimp profile ~./gimp-2.8/scripts (~ is linux shorthand for your home folder/partition) Snags it does need user input, advantage it will fill the shape for you. Looks like http://i.imgur.com/Vw6uzOB.jpg
Then more complicated plugins such as ofnuts ofn-path-to-shape.py
Look near the top of http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-pat...s/scripts/ comes with plenty of documentation on use.
It is more hands on, use a path to create a path, then up to you to fill/stroke whatever you need. Very simple example: http://i.imgur.com/8NEq8As.jpg
...and there are others...
