I would like to keep Gimp version 2.10.38
I installed 3.0, and I don’t like it and I could go back to 2.10.38 with Warehouse and also disabled updates there. But when I open Discover it offers me update to 3.0.
Since it is annoying all the time to uncheck update, I would like to hide or stop it.
You can use flatpak pin to pin a Flatpak to a given version: flatpak-pin(1) - Linux manual page
Edit: It’s flatpak mask indeed: flatpak-mask(1) - Linux manual page
Thank you, it worked (with a help of Grok … )
Unfortunately, it is back. With Grok, we pinned 2.10.38 version and masked update:
flatpak mask --user org.gimp.GIMP
And today update Gimp 3.02 in Discover is back …
…
If I make: flatpak update --user
and install update (3 MB), Gimp is not listed in Discover updates anymore. I did yesterday the same. I hope to find some more permanent solution …
Did you install GIMP for your user only? The default flathub repo is systemwide
I reinstalled Gimp and installed it systemwide. With Warehouse, I downgraded it to 2.10.38, masked it.
When I check through terminal, there is no update for Gimp, but when I check through Discover, it shows an update to 3.0.2. And so far I couldn’t find a way to convince Discover to ignore the update …
I am not a programmer, but Grok recommended this command, but didn’t work:
echo “[Update]\nIgnorePkg=org.gimp.GIMP” > ~/.config/plasma-discoverrc
You might want to ask on discuss.kde.org
Flatpak is used directly in KDE discover.
Alternatively you could also use an Appimage that never updates because the format does not have a package manager by design.
But… sticking with GIMP 2 forever is not a good solution really. Instead, you should specify issues, open bug reports or probably switch to something else.
Thanks. I agree. I will eventually switch to 3… , but at the moment there are some “design” issues like left mouse click doesn’t work on tools (it is known bug), and I will wait till this is solved.
I was trying to find a working 2.10.38 Appimage, tried few of them, didn’t work. I can live with ignoring the update in Discover somehow for a while …
The official Appimage seems to have been removed
Thanks, but for some reason, AppImage from Ivan doesn’t execute on my Fedora Kinoite. I tried all Appimages I could find …
Try running it from terminal and see error messages or if you are missing some dependencies for appimage to run
Probably fuse2 which is EOL and should not be used
Dont bother, just the flatpak
Thanks, so far my settings are working. I am updating apps via terminal. I would use Appimage if 2.10.38 version would be available - version available is 2.10.34.
