How to use GIMP 2.8 on Lucid 10.04.4 LTS

[jimstar79]

Excellent! Sorry I couldn't help when you were stuck earlier, was fiddling around in Precise trying to get shutdown working properly...

Man, I think you have done enough for me - thanks for your tutorial and link to Roscioli's work!

It is also possible to install G'mic for 2.8 on 10.04.

G'mic can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmic/files/
and installed in .gimp2-8/plug-ins in your home folder. (Using ctrl+h to reveal hidden folders).

You can also copy over all brushes, gradients, palettes, etc. from Gimp 2.6/2.7 folders into their corresponding folders in 2.8.

Which basically makes Gimp2.8 complete on my system now.

I'm so happy!
