apply gradients to the canvas/area , err msg: "Blend does not operate on indexed layers"

Hi all,
Once I have finished defining my new gradient how do I apply the gradient to the canvas/area?

What do I have to do with the gradient window, if anything?

How do I actually apply the new gradient. I have tried using the Fill tool, and that just fills the area with the Foreground color, and I have tried using the Blend Tool, but it tells me

Blend does not operate on indexed layers.

Am I supposed to be using that operation (Blend)? If so how can make my layer not indexed?

Hi!

As http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-blend.html clearly says, the blend too is the correct one. It even tells you why it doesn't work in your case: Your image is in indexed mode:
http://docs.gimp.org/en/glossary.html#glossary-indexedcolors Simply convert it to rgb:
