Rewrite the instructions

[scottonanski]

I shouldn't have to tell you why...

[blueturtleai]

In fact I don’t know what you mean. Pls tell me why you think this is necessary.

[blueturtleai]

As i didn’t hear from you for some days, I close this issue.

Your installation instructions straight up don't work.

I'm about two hours into a rabbit hole of figuring out how to actually get this plugin to load and it appears that gimp 2.10 which is the default installation of gimp for debian-based systems is gimp 2.10 which apparently does not support python.

Apparently gimp 2.99 which can be downloaded through flatpak does but it's flatpak so I'm currently looking into compiling gimp from source which is a bit of a clusterf- apparently. Or. I don't know.

Bottom line this is an absolute pain in the butt and I'm kind of at a loss for how your installation instructions could work for anyone since finding out how to install python for gimp 2.10 is proving to be a needlessly frustrating experience.

Please check the troubleshooting section: https://github.com/blueturtleai/gimp-stable-diffusion/tree/main/stablehorde#linux You find there a link to flatpak. It seems to be version 2.10.34. The plugin won’t work with 2.99, as the plugin api has been changed.

The root problem is, that there is still no final Gimp release, which supports Python 3.

I figured out what the problem was, but it was still a little buggy. If memory serves me correctly, I think I had to install GIMP as a Snap or something to get it working. It was definitely Python related, and a very easy solution once I figured it out.

urllib2 errors.

I don't appear to be able to install urllib2 since it's deprecated?

How has anyoine figured out how to get this workig? @blueturtleai it would be incredibly helpful for people like myself if you could lay out how to actually writre up how to install this, since the instructions don't mention flatpak and the flatpak instructions clearly don't work.

[kronkinatorix]

I tried compiling from source but gave up since it's such a headache with gimp and installed the flatpak.

The flatpak produced an urllib2 error.

I searched around and finally install python2 which didn't work., I install pyenv and python2 again and pyuthon2 worked.

Ran an strace on the flatpak gimp app.

It runs the command "python"

Found out you can't edit flatpaks. Cool. Wrote an alias to turn on / turn off python=/path/to/python2/pyenv

ran gimp

urllib2 errror.

I've spent like 6 hours here. Your instructions don't work. The troubleshooting section does not help.

I've tried on both mint and Manjaro and run into he same problems so I don't think I'm an edge case with this.

Can you please update the instructions?

[kronkinatorix]

Update: I've tried using a shebang pointing to the python2 interpreter. Nothing. I tried using a shebang to the interpreter of python 2 in the flatpak i\mage itself by using the python console to pull a list of the full /app directory which was a pain in the ass and tried using that as the shebang: nothing.

[kronkinatorix]

final update: changed the shebang back to the pyenv shim and it works.

IMAGE SIZE NEEDS TO BE BETWEEN 384 AND 1024?

what a colossal waste of time. FML

@kronkinatorix Could you please tell me how the shebang, which works for you, looks like?

I don’t run Linux myself, so I can’t try flatpak GIMP myself. But I got the feedback from several Linux users, that it fixed their problem when they installed it.
