Public bug reported: I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 and GIMP installed via apt, v. 2.10.18.
To reproduce the problem: Install a python-based plugin in ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins. In my case, it was Export Layers (https://github.com/khalim19/gimp-plugin- export-layers). Run GIMP from Terminal and you see: /usr/bin/env: ‘python’: No such file or directory gimp: LibGimpBase-WARNING: gimp: gimp_wire_read(): error There is no "Python-fu" menu item on the Filters menu in GIMP even with a python-based plugin installed in ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins, and that folder listed in GIMP -> Preferences -> Folders -> Plugins. What I expect to happen is to be able to run GIMP python-based plugins, and to have the Python-fu menu item on the Filters menu when a python- based plugin is installed. The cause seems to be that 20.04 does not provide the package gimp- python, which is not listed as a dependency or a "suggests" on the package page for Focal (https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/gimp) though it is for Eoan. I did find a workaround. Here are the steps: sudo apt install python-cairo python-gobject-2 wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pygtk/python-gtk2_2.24.0-6_amd64.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gimp/gimp-python_2.10.8-2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i python-gtk2_2.24.0-6_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i gimp-python_2.10.8-2_amd64.deb Once I did that, GIMP started without any errors and Export Layers works just fine. ** Affects: gimp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1881684 Title: GIMP Python Plugins Won't Run in Ubuntu 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/1881684/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
