      Doesn’t work with Ubuntu 19.04 any idea……

      The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      gimp : Depends: libgimp2.0 (>= 2.10.8) but it is not going to be installed
      Depends: libgimp2.0 (= 0.4.12) but it is not going to be installed
      E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

      For now, this repository only has Gimp 2.10 for Ubuntu 17.10 & 18.04: https://launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgulasch/+archive/ubuntu/gimp

      Hi, how to install plugin registery on ubuntu for gimp 10?

      Reply
    17. Frank on November 18, 2017 10:08 am

      Why sudo?? You don’t need sudo at all to start gimp, sudo runs a program as administrator user, it’s a unmotivated risk.
