Help!!! How to fault-find lost GIMP installation - david - 04-09-2023
Ubuntu 20.04
GIMP 2.10.34-1build6-ubuntu2004(focal)
Today when I came to use GIMP it did not load. It is the version originally obtained from the PandaJim PPA and I had python 2.7 support which meant all my usual plug-ins worked.
I tried to start it from the terminal and got:
gimp: error while loading shared libraries: libmypaint-1.5.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I searched in Synaptic for libmypaint-1.5.so.1, but no such file was found.
Any advice will be gratefully received as to how to fault-find this problem.

Is there such a lib/package on the PPA?

You need to install MyPaint
Code:
sudo apt install mypaintthis happened to me some time ago, after installing mypaint > GIMP worked just fine

kubuntu 20.04 ...and to me a couple of days ago when Gimp 2.10.34 (from PPA) stopped working after a synaptic package update.
I can not find the offending package that removed libmypaint, nothing obvious in the log - Gimp already the latest, so not that - a mystery
The package is in the PandaJim PPA this in my synaptic

Another look in the apt log and it shows this:

If I recall correctly it happened after "updating" Ubuntu via the software updater. (but I won't swear about it)

Many thanks to everyone.
I installed mypaint and instantly everything working!
Without this forum many people would have great problems.
