Gimp 2.10 and Ubuntu 22.04
#1
Some notes on installing Gimp 2.10.x in Ubuntu 22.04 (jammy)

The Ubuntu software centre will give you a snap version 2.10.28 - not a lot of use
The regular Gimp from the ubuntu repository (repo) is 2.10.30 which is ok, but stuck at the version.
This demo shows using an additional repo (PPA) 
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/+...buntu/gimp 
Go there and see how to install Gimp.

There is a glitch with this PPA, the latest libgegl is required. In terminal run

Code:
sudo apt install libgegl*

None of the above Gimp versions / packages include any python2 libraries required for Gimp python plug-install. The old gimp-python .deb packages are no longer compatible so one way is using an appimage launcher from:

That also has a glitch, it uses fuse2 and Ubuntu 22.04 comes with fuse3. The fix, in a terminal

Code:
sudo apt install fuse


------------------
Update:
Go here: https://github.com/TasMania17/Gimp-Appim...-for-Linux

Download this appimage gimp-python2-overlay-launcher-ubuntu22.04.AppImage 27MB

No need to mess with fuse
-------------------

This demo with an example of a python plugin (the ever popular resynthesizer/heal-selection)

To round off Gimp and jammy The gmic_gimp_qt plugin. It does not require python but it does need some depencencies to get it going. In a terminal use:

Code:
sudo apt install libfftw3*
sudo apt install libqt5widgets*

demo: duration 3 minutes https://youtu.be/tSptL6YEHrI
