Ubuntu 20.04 - Trying to add resynthesizer plugin

[AlexH]

Have downloaded GIMP 2.10.32 - added resynthesizer plugin without any problems

When i try to use it, however, I get this


An error occurred running python_fu_heal_selection

error: procedure not found

Any help would be helpful!

Looks like a can-of-worms (Default Gimp for focal is 2.10.18)

Where did you get Gimp 2.10.32 from ? Is it a flatpak ? or a Snap installation or from a PPA ?

You installed resynthesizer but where ? If it works there is a menu entry Filters -> Map -> Resynthesize

"/home/alex/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins/plugin-heal-selection.py" Gimp 2.8 ??? Not the place for Gimp 2.10 plugins

Tell us which Gimp.
Flatpak has a bespoke resynthesizer+ python plugins
Snap - never going to work
From a PPA, you can get it to work but needs a little explanation.

--
just out of curiosity, why the win32 / win64 folders in your linux plugins ?

Hi

thanks for the quick reply


OOPS! Slightly crossed threads here

Originally tried to add the plug-in on my well used Ubuntu system. whan that failed I tried in on the other half of the dual boot - the dreaded Windows10

i guess I gave the wrong directory there!

anyway back to the problem - originally installed from the Software repository

Then as a flatpack as it actually contains the plug-in. 

The .gimp2.8 directory is the only gimp one.

Happy to use PPA, flatpack is new to me and I don't really understand it

Regards

Alex

I would stick to the flatpak for the moment, it has python2 support needed for those python plugins.

Try this

Code:

flatpak list

to see what is there

Code:

flatpak install gimp

gives options then just follow the trail, you need the 2-40 versions

   

That buries the resynthesizer + python plugins somewhere in the flatpak folders. For any other plugins you install have a look in Edit -> Preferences Folders -> Plug-ins and note the paths. My advice make your own folder. That default user folder might not exist.

Hi

Did all that - errors on trying to use the plug-in

Start again - removed all Gimp and followed your instructions above. now the plug-in does not appear in the menus or the plugin browser, the Gimp directory I created is empty.

Even if my directory is the only one for plug-ins it still remains empty, but the install tells me it's been installed

Regards

Alex (very confused)

Quote:...Start again - removed all Gimp and followed your instructions above...

Since you already had the flatpak installed, no need to remove anything flatpak related. Your original listing shows a flatpak installation (that line "/app/lib/gimp/2.0/python/...) so it was there

Check: You get a flatpak list that contains org.gimp.Gimp ? The same flatpak list will show the resynthesizer  as well if it is installed. If not there you could try the 2-3.36 option. As far as I know the new version should work but worth a try.

   

 How do you start Gimp, from a .desktop file or can you try from a terminal, just to prove it is installed.

Code:

flatpak run org.gimp.Gimp

   

Flatpak can run in parallel to a regular Gimp but as with any Gimp update, will use an existing Gimp profile. It might even migrate plugins to the new Gimp user profile.

My guess is you have multiple Gimp plugin installations, do a search and see how many exist. Maybe for plugin-heal-transparency.py (hope you are not using those old Windows "Oct 17 2013 plugin-heal-transparency" files)

I personally do not use flatpaks now, because they are sandboxed, but I have in the past and as you see work perfectly well in a virtualbox.

Writing this in a (k)ubuntu 20.04 using a PPA and old gimp-python packages but that is not a route that I advise unless you are happy using command line and fixing dependency problems.

I removed everything and hunted out other versions - found some GIMP directories, so removed them.

installed the flatpak again and this time it came up with an error as below

Whilst checking this out on the internet, I found a link given to someone who had the problem, to an AppImage download.

I downloaded the latest (2021) version with Plug-ins and it appears to work correctly with my limited testing so far.
So, thanks for all the help, i think I'm sorted for the moment

I wonder why you are running from that folder - no wonder you get an error.

However for most purposes an older Gimp version 2.10.22 appimage from https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-appimage/releases/ is more than adequate.

problem solved - no reply required.
