Gimp filters missing - SOLVED (apparently)

Hi all,

I've got gimp 2.6.10 and 2.7.3 and both work fine (particularly with xvesa) but I have no filters!!! No blur, or motion, or anything.

Is there another file I need to download? I thought everything was together, so I'm a bit confused.

Sorry if this is a bit vague - I'm rushing.

Cheers

After some trial and error, the filters aren't working with Gimp as a .sfs but they do work with Gimp as a .pet

Any idea why that would make a difference?

I'm not all together sure what happened, but it's working now. After using the .pet version of 2.7.3 I looked under edit>preferences>folders and saw some different options for these folders and thought I might need to set these to /usr/share/gimp/2.0 etc, so uninstalled the .pet, rebooted with the .sfs in the bootmanager and "HUZZAH" the filters are there.

So, it's been a frustrating journey, but it ended well.

Except I did delete /root/my-documents in the process. But such is life.
