Gimp 2.10.6 fails to start on Kubuntu 18.04
#6
You might have to go a few further steps.

As it happens, my desktop computer, installed new shiny SSD drive (3 weeks old today), has Kubuntu 18.04

I did initially try kesselgulasch/gimp 2.10 but decided I wanted Gimp 2.8.22 + the Gimp 2.10.x flatpak.

That is the state at the moment. See if I can replace Gimp 2.8 with Gimp 2.10

Enabling the kesselgulasch/gimp ppa and updating synaptic these are marked as upgradable but I can see that will break gimp packages.

What is missing from that upgrade, the gegl packages.

If I then go to the installed libgegl-0.3-0 and mark for complete removal I get this, pulls in dependencies and upgrades gimp.

Gimp 2.10 uses libgegl-0.4 https://i.imgur.com/0viGFNd.jpg

Forgot to disable the gimp 2.8 profile, pulled in scripts/plugins that give errors but Gimp 2.10 works.

Now, to fire up that backup snapshot to restore the kubuntu partition back to what it was Wink
