Going back to your first post
That sounds like you downloaded the source for generating the html, never going to work.
Ok, this is the problem. The only installable Gimp help files for ubuntu come from Debian and are no newer than for Gimp 2.8, not recognised by Gimp 2.10 see: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gimp
The help files themselves are mostly html so should be manually installable in any linux Gimp 2.10. I can get a set from my PClinuxOS (rpm based) computer and these seem to work in my 'buntu 18.04. https://i.imgur.com/bBdGCZ4.jpg
They go in /usr/share/gimp folder like this: https://i.imgur.com/OQZcI4H.jpg
...and working: https://i.imgur.com/jLah83t.jpg
If you feel up to trying this, you do need to be able to copy as root, let me know and I will post as a zip file, going to be about 50 MB.
Quote:The help files are there, somewhere. I saw them once, down about eight levels of folders, and they were all XML. I don't have an XML viewer.
