gimp does not appear in gnome menu

[Erlenmayr]

Binary package hint: gimp

since gimp is not a defaultly installed app in ubuntu 10.04, it does not appear in the application menu any more.

of course i know that it is not preinstalled and i have installed it with synaptic. it is installed, i can start it by typing the command.

because is not installed by default, go to software center and install it.

of course i have installed it.

i have installed it and it did not appear. i can start it by typing "gimp" in some command line shell.

Erlenmayr, have you check 'System-->Preferences-->Main Menu'? Look at 'Graphics' and see if 'Gimp' check box is activated.

I had this same problem.

I tried two things :

1) uninstall gimp with Ubuntu Software Center, and reinstall = gimp still did not show in the Application/Graphics menu

2) restart PC = gimp showed up in the Application/Graphics menu

not sure if a restart without the uninstall/install would have worked.

[Dr. Kenobi (drkenobi)]

Tom, I'm sure you didn't need to uninstall/install Gimp. Just by restarting the PC this issues are solved.
