Quote:...Would be very helpful if i should get a bit assistance installing gimp.deb that work with the rest of softwares ...

Always useful to check the distro version in a console use

Code:

uname -a

The package you downloaded is for bionic https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/gimp/download Are you using bionic (Ubuntu 18.04) ? The default Gimp for bionic is already Gimp 2.8.22 and you would install it

Code:

sudo apt install gimp

Installing local packages such as gimp_2.8.22-1_amd64.deb Use dpkg but you will need all the other gimp packages; gimp-data , libgimp2.0 libgegl-0.3 (I think)
With all the packages in a folder, run in a terminal. Output will tell you if anything is missing. Dodgy because you can (will) end up with broken packages.

Code:

sudo dpkg  -i  *.deb

To be honest, I use kubuntu 18.04 and the first thing I installed was the old package manager synaptic and generally install via that.

For Gimp 2.10 as Ofnuts post, use the PPA The instructions are top of the web page. You might need to first install 'add-apt-repository' then it is straight forward.

For some screenshots (out of date, but still applicable what ever 'buntu / Gimp version) see: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Gimp-2...-18-04-LTS
