I desperately need to install Gimp on my computer. When I enter the Ubuntu Software Center Gimp is easily searchable, but when I click on it to download it says: "Not Found: there isn't a software package called 'gimp' in your current software sources". I've tried to add the program through the terminal using sudo apt- get install gimp to which I get the response E: unable to locate package gimp I've tried updates and changing my software settings, but nothing has helped and I can't find a clear fix here. If you have some advice, please share. Thanks!

Can you install other packages? What country are you residing (I mean, set during installation?) May be you have broken regional mirror? open your /etc/apt/sources.list file. It will be full of lines like

deb http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted

Change the regional code to some nearby country and run sudo apt-get update
