Using 'buntu 20.04 or a spin-off such as Mint20 and a Gimp appimage then the appimage uses an earlier version of QT which is built into the appimage.
So you need a plugin which works with that earlier version of QT. The ones I compile are for this (from 'buntu 18.04 source), the ones from the gmic site use the newer QT hence are not compatible.
simple as that.
But from now on, he will always depend on you for its G'MIC... Don't get me wrong, what you do is EXTREMELY USEFUL, and so nice!
But If he download the gmic.deb from gmic.eu for its 20.04 distro then don't use GDebi to install the .deb package as it will tell him that there is the latest version already installed(which is old), but instead force the install and dependancies by:
Code:
sudo dpkg -i --force-all gmic-for-its-distro.deband this will work like a charm (I did this because I got the same problem > Ubuntu-MATE 20.04 gimp with plugins appimage from aferrero, also @leftyleo on GC had the same problem with its Linux Mint 19.3, and appimage from aferrero he did this (the above code) and everything is now working nicely and he even told me that somewthing from "samj" which was not working anymore, worked again after using dpkg --force-all to install latest gmic)
As for python2 with the ubuntuhandbook PPA (nice PPA BTW and I'm very happy thatt Jim is continuing it as otto did stop), I did solved the problem with sudo apt install python2 (did not even need to go in step 3)
All python plug ins are now working I just keep under the hood this link > https://linuxconfig.org/ubuntu-20-04-pyt...h-manager/ if one day I do need to switch between python2 and 3, but I never needed it.
