gmic_gimp_qt and Ubuntu 18.04

[rich2005]

Using 'buntu 18.04 (or Mint19) with Gimp 2.10.x and not able to run the latest and greatest gmic_gimp_qt plugin from http://www.gmic.eu ?

Also for the Gimp 2.10.x appimage which uses the same version of QT5 as ubuntu 18.04 / Mint 19

The reason is the version of QT5 that comes with 'buntu 18.04 is 2.9.5 and the 'official' gmic.eu plugin requires 2.10

Run gimp from a terminal and 

Quote:.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/gmic_gimp_qt: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.10' not found (required by /home/rich/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/gmic_gimp_qt)
gimp: LibGimpBase-WARNING: gimp: gimp_wire_read(): error

The solution, compile gmic_gimp_qt for Gimp 2.10 in a ubuntu 18.04 environment: 

Many linux users maybe not interested in compiling from scratch so I will start off with these as downloads. 
The usual applies. Un-zip, put in your Gimp profile ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins check that they are still executable.
For the appimage put the plugin in ~/.config/GIMP-AppImage/2.10/plug-ins

--------------------------
I will put this up just to continue the sequence. From what I read not much new is going to be added to gmic_gimp. All work going into the stand-alone version. The underlying code has changed so there might be some old filters that do not work. If you are happy with a previous version maybe stick with it for now.

Just a reminder, this is for 'buntu 18.04 / Mint 19 / Gimp 2.10.x appimage with the older QT5 libraries.
'buntu 20.04 / Mint 20 users and a regular Gimp installation (repo or PPA) get the http://www.gmic.eu packages.

I will try and keep updated as gmic progresses.


Note: QT5 is required and might not be installed, usually the following is enough to pull in the required packages.

Code:

sudo apt install libqt5core*  libqt5widgets5*

Thank you VERY VERY much !!!

Thanks a lot!

I get

Code:

./gmic_gimp_qt-270: error while loading shared libraries: libgegl-0.4.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Ubuntu 18.04 only provides libgegl-0.3. If I try to download and install libgegl-0.4 (downloaded from the debian package website, I get a dozen of unmet dependencies and I really don'r want to go down that rabbit hole....

Is there a solution for this?

[rich2005]

The plugin is for Gimp 2.10.x that is installed from the otto-kesselgulasch/gimp PPA This also contains the required (by Gimp) gegl 0.4

   

For Gimp 2.10 installation hints, see: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Gimp-2...-18-04-LTS

(A general note for users) If you are using Gimp 2.8. This is not the version for you. Use the 2.8 version from http://www.gmic.eu

If you are using a Gimp 2.10.x flatpak or snap, then these do not support QT required by the gmic_gimp_qt plugin. The plugin will not work.
Edit: Flatpak Gimp now has a flatpak gmic_gimp_qt that the user can install.

No use trying to run the plugin, has to be used from within Gimp 2.10. If you want the standalone gmic application again use a package from http://www.gmic.eu

Hello,

thanks, that was the problem, I had installed via flatpak. Now I upgraded to 19.04 in spite of not being LTS. But there were several packages where I needed a newer version.

Thanks for the explanation anyways.

Cheers
