Some plugins not working

[meetdilip]

Hi, I heavily depend on Filters > Edge Detect > Difference of Gaussians (legacy ) to convert images into line art. During the last couple of days ( perhaps a week ), whenever I use this option, the output is a blank canvas.

Then I tried to use bede plugin which worked fine for Artistic > Comic Book for 2.10. Sadly, I am getting this error now

I am using a very early 2.10.25 AppImage and have changed almost nothing in the last 30 - 40 days. I am using the GMIC-QT plugin provided by @rich2005

It would be nice to know how to fix these. Thanks.

Edit : Looks like I have set GMIC to auto update " Weekly ". Is that what is causing the current issue ?

Edit 2 : I replaced the GMIC QT plugin (gmic_gimp_qt-298) which I got from this website to .config > gmic and turned off the GMIC auto updates. But even then both the filters are not working.

I have the .deb from handbooks GIMP 2.10.24 and the Appimage with plugins GIMP 2.10.25 continuous release from aferrero2707 and did tried "Filters > Edge Detect > Difference of Gaussians (legacy )" on both GIMP version.
I got a blank layer as well on both GIMP

It seems to be a python problem, may be related to an update on the OS (Ubuntu based OS?) conflict between python 3.x and python 2.7?
Sorry I can't tell if it's that or not, it's above my field of competences, and yes I can see that G'MIC is involved at the end of your traceback...

My first thought would be to try with an older version of the GIMP appimage with plugins, a version like 2-3 months older, or with an older version of G'MIC to see which one is the faulty one...
https://gmic.eu/files/linux/
or the G'MIC appimage for GIMP https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-plu...continuous (this is not GIMP, but G'MIC)
But I would say Don't try this at home and save all your GIMP/G'MIC configuration before to do anything or wait for some one with a knowledgeable answer

In the terminal type

Code:

python -V

to know what python your system is using

I have the same error with 2.10.23 with plugins AppImage. Considering it is happening widely, it might be something to do with by 20.04 ?

may be, we need to have some feed back from people which do not use an Ubuntu based distro (or debian?)

In all case I did reported it on the forum where David Tschumperle (the G'MIC's big boss) is every day https://discuss.pixls.us/t/bug-latest-gm...0-24/25607
Let see what he will say, if it's G'MIC or Ubuntu (if I recall, he is also using an Ubuntu based distro)

I removed gmic when I used 2.10.23 AppImage. But the problem was still there.

[meetdilip]

Tired 2.10.23 and 25 AppImage s without plugins on Fedora 34 Live. Difference of Gaussians (legacy) blank canvas issue happened there as well, on both versions.

[PixLab]

I just tried the english version of bede2.10.py => https://www.gimpscripts.net/2021/04/phot...lugin.html with G'MIC 2.9.7
and it does work fine with GIMP 2.10.25 appimage.

about Difference of Gaussians (legacy), indeed there seems to be a bug in the appimage and the .deb package

Works fine in my self-compiled 2.10.25 (which is also a very early 2.10.25):

You also need to replace the gmic updated298.gmic file see below:

-------------

The gmic code is constantly changing which can break some of those filters.

The latest 2.9.8 does have a problem with the updates.

For 'buntu 18.04 / mint 19 / gimp appimages you can get:

The 2.9.8 plugin https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=...lGrJGFii8V goes in ~/.config/GIMP-AppImage/2.10/plug-ins/

A working gmic update file  https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=...ObzX1Hfxm7 goes in ~/.config/gmic/

You could indeed go back to a gmic_gimp_qt 2.9.7 although some of the newer testing filters might not be there.
For gimp appimages you will find one here: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-gmic-g...untu-18-04 

This explanation of the Gimp appimage built-in gmic plugin and replacements.  https://youtu.be/SI9-f_bSpTc  with that bede plugin





Just a note, not only linux problem, the same for Windows Gimp 2.10.24 / gmic_gimp_qt 2.9.8

Thanks @rich2005

After replacing the 2 files

1. Comic Book for 2.10 is working
2. Difference of Gaussians (legacy) blank canvas stays

Edit - in preview, it shows correctly
