gimp-plugin-registry

[Eric Frederich]

Hi,

I installed 4.4 on a VM yesterday.  Feels fast and very lite  .

One of the first things I did was launch Gimp and saw it was 2.10.
I run other distros based on Ubuntu 18.04 and they have Gimp 2.8... so I don't know where this difference is coming from.

In any case, after applying all updates I am unable to

Code:

apt install gimp-plugin-registry

There is an error.  I'm not in my VM right now so I cannot paste the error.  I'm sure others will get it as well.

EDIT: here's the error...

# sudo apt install gimp-plugin-registry

The difference is we use Gimp's own PPA to pull in the latest stable version. gimp-plugin-registry is only available for lower version gimp. So if you really wanted gimp-plugin-registry, you would have to uninstall our Gimp, remove the PPA, then install gimp from Install/Remove Software. Read through this thread first to see if you prefer trying something from there first - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...ug/1772769 make sure you read what otto says, very important!
