    What No GIMP

    I was very surprised to note that GIMP is not in the muon package manager. Are those using GIMP installing via a ppa?

      Hello,

      Thanks for responding.

      apt policy gimp

      gives:

      Code:
      andrew@Toshiba-Satellite-L350:~$ apt policy gimp
      gimp:
       Installed: (none)
       Candidate: 2.8.16-1ubuntu1.1
       Version table:
          2.8.16-1ubuntu1.1 500

      I am not familiar with the 'universe repo', or how to enable it.

        GIMP is also available as an Appimage, which is what I have. Now if I can only learn how to use it...

          Why not try Krita?

            You can look in /etc/apt/sources to see if
            ubuntu xenial-updates/universe
            is listed, and add it if it's not there.

              Do you man adding the following line to sources.list

              deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/universe amd64 Packages

              Surely there must be a better way to access the universe

                Well, you can add the line to the sources.list file and then do "sudo apt update"
                OR,
                you can wonder through the WWW looking for a recent deb package to download that is compatible with the version of Kubuntu you are running, download it and then run "dpkg -i whatever" against it and hope you don't have to go wondering around for uninstalled dependencies, again, and make sure they match the deb package you downloaded and the Kubuntu version you are running. Rinse and repeat until you get what you are looking for.

                  I just looked in Synaptic and Gimp shows up, of course I'm on 18.04 and my /etc/apt/sources.list shows
                  Code:
                  deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security main restricted
                  # deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security main restricted
                  deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security universe
                  # deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security universe
                  deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security multiverse
                  # deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security multiverse

                    you can do this with Muon ,,,,,,,

                    open Muon click settings , click "configure software sources" you will be asked for your password , on the first tab of the window that will open the second entry down with a check box in front of it will be the universe repo , tick the checkbox and click close , Muon will do a update of the software , after it's done check for Gimp once again.

                      I've moved on from Muon. It's not a hateful application, but after experiencing no reaction from changing a query and GG's comment about there seeming to be an inefficient sort algorithm, I've started using Synaptic and am well satisfied.

                        the OP stated that he uses Muon , that is why I referenced it ,, you can do the same thing in Synaptic , but their it's , settings>Repositories.

                          Strange, Gimp 2.8 was available immediately in the repo on a fresh install of KDE Neon. I'm running Gimp 2.10 though from:

                          https://launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgu...ve/ubuntu/gimp
                          Constant change is here to stay!

                            Spot on.

                            I noticed that the universe box was already ticked, but, on closing, I saw gimp in the archive.

                            Best wishes.

                              I now have gimp installed.via the package manager

                              Originally, I tried to add the line via kate, but it would not save. i thought that kate could be used to edit system files. I suppose that I should have used nano.

                              Is it problematic to have two package managers on a pc?

                              Thanks
