Help error resulting two installations - 2.10.24 and 2.10.28
Hi, I have been running GIMP 2.10.24 for some time and have been gradually trying to improve my knowledge of the program. However, an issue I had from the start was that the help did not work. I get this error: "Could not open 'https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-help.xml' for reading: An AppArmor policy prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient; type="method_call", sender=":1.117" (uid=1000 pid=9560 comm="/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/help/help -gimp 15 14 -" label="snap.gimp.gimp (enforce)") interface="org.gtk.vfs.Daemon" member="GetConnection" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.102" (uid=1000 pid=6556 comm="/usr/libexec/gvfsd-http --spawner :1.5 /org/gtk/gv" label="unconfined")"
Yesterday I had a go at resolving this by following the instructions on this page https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ downloading the flatpak program and running it. It did not update things as I had hoped. Instead, as a result, I now have two versions of GIMP, one of which, as above, still has the help not working and also the latest version whose help does work!
Obviously this is not ideal. I do not want to simply remove the older version because it has several settings and brushes etc which I do not want to lose. Similarly, neither do I want to remove the new version, not just because the help works but also for fear that I might also damage the older installation and lose that too!
Please advise - in simple terms - I'm new to this (linux) thing.
TIA, Chris
