edit Just looked at your earlier posts. Are you using the Gimp 2.10.6 flatpak? The same comments from earlier posts apply.

Since Mint 19 is based on Gimp 18.04, did you get Gimp 2.10 from the PPA? ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp 
That does not have a gimp-plugin-registry package for 18.04 which would explain why you can not install it via synaptic. You can check in synaptic and the gimp-plugin-registry properties to see if there is an older version, which might install.
or
You could download the last deb package and install yourself.

Code:

sudo dpkg -i --force-all gimp-plugin-registry_7.20170217-0a9~ppa_amd64.deb

However, these are old (ancient) plugins and scripts, Do you really want them messing up the core Gimp files?  A better way is unpack the deb package and just install what you want in your Gimp profile.

Done it for you, zip attached. Nice to see that none of the old mistakes have been rectified. Python plugins still mixed up with scripts and some that have not worked since Gimp 2.6 times

Thanks for that Rich. It has enabled me to install the scripts I wanted, so half the problem is solved!

I'll go into the Mint forums to see if I can fix the Nvidia driver problem next.
