GIMP 2.10 fails to open because of GEGL old version - JeanA4 - 08-26-2020
Hi everyone,
Nice to be posting for the first time on this forum.
I have recently upgraded my KDE Neon version to Ubuntu 20.04
Funnily enough, GIMP fails to open now and sends me a message telling me that GIMP requires at least version 0.4.22 or later
In the meantime I have installed the latest version of GEGL ( see my log below) and yet GIMP is still asking me the same question.
sudo apt install gegl

So why is this and what should I do to have GIMP recognize the change ?
Thank you so much

Check /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgegl-0.4.so. It is a link that points to the actual version used. Gimp has becomes quite sensitive to Gegl versions recently since even minor releases use recent Gegl functionality. If you are on Gimp 2.10.20 you may need Gegl 0.4.24). Also check your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, any leftovers from earlier installs (in /opt or /usr/local)?

That was the first thing I noticed. What is needed is libgegl not gegl.
My copy of kde-neon is old, rolling release, easier for a new (VM). If I find anything worthwhile I will post results.

Possibly you did not get a complete upgrade.
KDE-NEON, based on 'buntu focal, default Gimp version is 2.10.18 Packages look like this: https://i.imgur.com/TKibAv2.jpg
Gimp has libgegl as a dependency: https://i.imgur.com/CheSuuf.jpg
Works but no python support: https://i.imgur.com/jWhQpFp.jpg
Python can be installed as this post: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Heal-Selection-Missing-from-Gimp-on-Ubuntu-20-04?pid=18354#pid18354
Installed: https://i.imgur.com/pFCp120.jpg
For Gimp 2.10.20 (and future Gimp up-dates) a flatpak version or an appimage is the way to go.

Thank you everyone, I will try and do something with your answers. Being a newbie I have to get help from a friend who knows Linux better than me and I will pass on your info.
I did try to install a flatpack version of GIMP 2.10 but then I wasn't able to add the gmic plug ins ... how can I do that?
Thanks

The Gimp flatpak now has some installable flatpak plugins, including g'mic
Code:
flatpak search org.gimp.GIMP.Plugin..Will list what is available
Code:
flatpak install org.gimp.GIMP.Plugin.GMic..Will install G'mic

Well done, Rich2005, I have installed the G'Mic feature and now my flatpak version of Gimp is operational.
You are all great, thank you so much. I consider the matter settled.
