It's just the terminal - at first I tried the flatpak version of gimp but for whatever reason it didn't work, then I used the ppa version, that's what I'm using now, to get GIMP to actually work I had to install an X-Server and have that running in the background, then from the terminal enter: 'export DISPLAY=:0' followed by 'gimp' ! 
I tried your chmod suggestion and got it all to work !! Thank you! (except a few which were working with Partha's but not it seems with the regular 2.10) What I really need though, is something to ungroup linked layers as the 'sg-group-linked-layers.scm' script crashes when I try to use it with the error:
Apart from that and the GUI fonts being very small, all is great!
OK, thanks again.
