Use the appimage instead. This is a distribution problem.

Can you give more detail on what I should do to fix it?
Because this manual:
https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/preferences/g_mic_settings.html
It completely doesn't help.
Because new Krita doesn't have:
Go to Settings ‣ Configure Krita… ‣ G’Mic plugin and set G’MIC to the filepath there.

Comment 3 Halla Rempt 2022-07-20 07:49:35 UTC

You should 

* not use the distribution package, but use the official appimage from krita.org/download
* file a bug in Ubuntu's bug tracker

Note that for user support it's much better to go to krita-artists.org instead of asking for help in a bug tracker, which is meant for reports about issues in krita's code. Then more people than just the developers will see your question and be able to answer it.
