Issue with GIMP scripts - Debian Trixie (lemmy.world)

Hi, all. I'm trying to use the logo creator scripts in GIMP under Debian Trixie. Standard apt install, using Debian sources, including gimp-data-extras, which is the package with the scripts. The packages are all up to date.

When I try to run any of the logo scripts, I get an error message like this:

Execution error for 'Alien Glow': Error: eval: unbound variable: gimp-text-fontname

I've done some searching, and the results all say things like, "Oh, your script is missing..." or something like that. But it's not my script, it's a standard script with GIMP. All of the logo scripts give this error, on two different computers (both with Debian Trixie).

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, the message in the terminal isn't helpful:

scriptfu-Message: 19:50:36.837: Error while executing script-fu-alien-glow-logo:

That's it. There's no additional info.

I just downloaded the Gimp appimage, but it doesn't have the logo generation scripts in it. I feel like they've been abandoned and no one noticed.

    Well poking around, it seems that specific plugin was only meant for Gimp 2.10, and you must be on 3.0+ by now, so I would consider it unusable.

    Ah that would do it. Disappointing. But thanks for the suggestions and finding that.

    Yeah 3.0 on Trixie.

    Sounds like that gimp-data-extras package shouldn't apply to 3.x. So maybe that's the fundamental problem.
