Edit Reason: edit for 32 bit version
)
Edit - Ouch just seen that Gimp 2.8 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, 32 bits - can you confirm that it is 32 bit linux. 
I will have a look around for a 32 bit version, keep visiting.
Ubuntu 32 bit version https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=...XEMjr53T97 52 MB zip same installation as below except there is an extra folder "effects" goes in ~/.gimp-2.8 along with the other three. For the plugins check that they are executable after unzipping.
I do have a 32 bit xubuntu 18.04 / Acer C720) - looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/BV5NVIJ.jpg

linux 64bit ubuntu. Beautify plugin
Download this zip, nearly 50 MB
https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=...qiCh7RcKmy
and unzip it. There is a folder containing four plugins beautify border simple-border skin-whitening Take those files out of that folder and move to your Gimp 2.8 profile plugins folder, ~/.gimp-2.8/plugins (note anything starting with a . {dot} is a hidden file, enable hidden files in your file browser, often Alt+. works)
The three folders rip-border simple border texture border go in with all the other folders in your Gimp profile ~/.gimp-2.8
