flatpak install flathub # system/default Maybe not the most elegant of methods but it should work. If you wanted the latest gimp and an older version that was available from the remote-info output, you could try installing one as a system package and the other as a user package. The GitHub commits are referenced in the output (13d146e6) in the above example but are not the ones used for moving between versions.ДЇlatpak tips and tricks 'Possibly' Running Multiple Versions The commits from the flatpak remote-info -log command cannot be substituted with the commits from GitHub as I previously thought. # to prevent future updates, you can mask the flatpak Subject: Build Little-CMS 2.12 ourselves. Because flatpaks are used to make it easy for developers to push the latest versions of software, keeping everything would not be so easy on storage space.

The results of remote-info are not a complete history, as there appears to be a cutoff point for versions kept. The older version takes place of the newer one, since you are performing a downgrade. You need to already have the flatpak installed for this to work. Available commits can be found by using the remote-info command. You can install older versions of a flatpak by specifying a specific commit to target.

However, GIMP is a beefy piece of software and building a 2-3 year old flatpak could very well produce its own set of headaches. There might be the option of trying to build the older flatpak. The simplest option for running GIMP 2.8 on Ubuntu 20.04 looks to be running it in an Ubuntu 18.04 VM (GNOME Boxes is handy) and installing it through the official repos. I suppose I could submit an issue on the Github repo.Д®dited with corrected information. Then the OS gave the 'System program problem detected' dialog.

#INSTALLING GIMP GAP UBUNTU UPDATE#

I have run the flatpak update -commit command, and it died as follows:ДЇirst it went through all the dependencies without a problem (while it consistently downloaded less data for each of them correspondingly as the download size was up front indicated), then when it reached Gimp, as the last item, it went: OSTree:ERROR:src/libostree/ostree-core.c:1432:ostree_checksum_inplace_to_bytes: assertion failed: (checksum)Д«ail out! OSTree:ERROR:src/libostree/ostree-core.c:1432:ostree_checksum_inplace_to_bytes: assertion failed: (checksum) So I don't know whether I mess up this flatpak ecosystem by downgrading Gimp. My concern is that while this flatpak ecosystem is indeed isolated from the main OS, it seems that internally it still maintains some dependencies. Apparently they are needed for this older Gimp? I already have these installed, due to how Gimp 2.10.24 needed them are these / some of these also going to be downgraded? These appear to be dependencies of the Gimp flatpak. Proceed with these changes to the system installation? : So now I have run the command: $ sudo flatpak update -commit=19dcc22b60e69eaaf740d4311021ed55b7e2537d ДЎ.

This seems to be the latest commit involving 2.8.

So I take it, almost any other commit before that one could be good?

Here is a commit where 2.10.0 was released.

They don't have releases, nor specific versions tagged.

This is the Gimp flatpak's github repo.

I have followed the guidance in answer, and have found the following:

(Also, can it complicate things that I already have another (more recent) Gimp version installed with Flatpak? So, can I have two versions parallel, or would I have to delete the more recent one first in order to install the older one?) So please: how can I see which Gimp versions (apart from the most recent one) are installable with Flatpak currently, and how can I install a specific version?

I know that that older Gimp version may rely on an older Python version as well, so installing the whole thing with Flatpak seems to be handy, as it will be standalone (isolated from the OS) and can use its own (older) Python version without any complication at all.Д«ut I can't seem to be able to find out how to even list the currently supported Gimp package versions with Flatpak, let alone installing it. However, there are a few issues with the 2.10 line that I can't seem to be able to resolve.ДЇor this reason, I would like to install Gimp 2.8. I'm on stock Ubuntu 20.04.2, and I have managed to install the latest / current Gimp with Flatpak: it was the 2.10.24 version at the time.
