[Bug 1710687] Re: gvfs-backends not installed with GIMP

[Lewis Cowles]

A Friend just contacted me over email to let me know that in 20.04 this
is still an issue for them...

I am unsure how they got the error message for this, but here is a
screenshot they sent me.

The error message reads

> Could not open 'https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-help.xml' for reading: Operation not supported
> Perhaps you are missing GIO backends and need to install GVFS?

They are not on Kubuntu and I installed their machine personally, so I
know there are no oddities. It's just a standard Ubuntu install; they
are in their 80's and things can be harder for them to work-around.

My current advice to them was to run the following in terminal.

sudo apt install gimp-help-en gimp-data-extras gvfs-backends

Will that be enough?
