me too

But anyway i may see what went wrong, that script doesn't work because no any of your py script works, and they cannot work because a essential part of the gimp python module or was not installed or went MIA

Now become relevant the other question, did you upgrade Python ?

As default the python included in Ubuntu should be sufficently obslolete to be compatible with gimp
but gimp can't support the most recent version (not yet)

Now the python guru here around may help you more but at least we found where exactly is the problem:
for sure , gimpfu modulo is not working
(MAYBE gimpfu is unusable because a too recent version of Python )

Mahvin
do you remember what the higher version of python compatible with gimp 2.6 ?

since i too use Ubuntu i am sure that gimp from official ubuntu repository or from getdeb is not incomplete, i suspect that some other packadge may have requested a too recent version of python

I wouldn't go beyond 2.6.6. Most older py files won't work beyond 2.6.5, but so far (knock on wood) they have been working for me (but I did recently re-install 2.6.5 so I can't vouch for any recent py files).

Python 2.7 will break your GIMP python plug-ins in 2.6, this I know from actually installing and using it.

you have to tell me exactly what that is and where to find it.

or the exact name so I search for it in the package manager

Before I make any suggestions, do you have any problem with using the most recent version of GIMP or are you wanting to stay with 2.6.10?

I generally don't have any issues with my GIMP.....I'm not sure why I wouldn't get updates.

as long as I have a stable version of GIMP I don't care what the number is

just don't ask me to compile...that's way too scary

I don't want to mess up my linux

No worry you don't have to compile

If you are sure that you have python and is 2.6.5
(you may check from System & Administration /synaptic... just type python in its search)
then again from synaptic type gimp and mark it for complete unistall
(you may wish first
made a back up of script brush etc, i see you have a lot of extra scripts )

last i got my 2.6.11 copy from here http://www.getdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/10.04/?q=gimp worked well and had python module included

to install...well you see the button on that page...didn't you?
Click it, give permission and will be done !

but please before unistall/reinstall gimp check that your python is NOT NEWER then 2.6.5

I use webupd8.

The link is here: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/install- ... u-ppa.html (this is for GIMP 2.6.11)

If you want to stick with 2.6.10 (for reasons of your own) you can read here:

http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/gimp-261 ... d-ppa.html

Ironically, I used webupd8 because getdeb didn't have 2.6.11 available yet, when I checked at the time it was released by GIMP.org. Sometimes the GIMP geeks get things done faster than the Debian peeps, and most definitely faster than the Ubuntu crowd for sure.

yes, I checked the package manager

I'll check the other links, thanks.....

@cecilia
don't get confused you may chose mine or mahvin link both are safe ,both will work,

well mine don't require copy & paste command in the terminal but for the rest no much difference

hmmm, as I have an "AMD Athlon ll P320 Dual Core Processor" I should avoid any "AMD64 versions" it seems to me

unless I'm misunderstanding.....

anyway, what is the difference between the GIMP I have now and the 2.6.11 ??

other than the python working....

Stability. Bug fixes, enhancements, etc. They have the change log updates on GIMP.org.

http://developer.gimp.org/NEWS-2.6

well, I figured that - it's why i joined this place

Python should work with both as Mahvin said difference is bugfix

Not sure if you should avoid AMD 64: your computer is enabled for 64 bit but you may have installed a 32 bit ubuntu (not the contrary )

anyway ubuntu installer are smart if the wrong version for your computer will simply refuse to install popping a clear error message

ok, the good news is that GIMP installed fine, and the bevel thingy works (WOOT!)

and I started GIMP up a few times including vis the terminal just to see if there are still any problems:



looks like a few things need a clean up but at least I have a working GIMP

thanks guys

You can officially change your sig info now, and you're welcome!

look all fine except

script-fu-Warning: Error while loading /home/cecilia/.gimp-2.6/scripts/ev_iccii_photoeffects.scm:
Error: unmatched parentheses: 1

a parentheses Missed In Action after copy& paste the script (usually the first or the last )

And few other scripts with messy registration paths

well, I'll deal with that tomorrow - esp as i didn't write those scripts and am not sure how to change them (without making them worse)

I'm off to bed now to dream wonderful GIMP dreams
