Open
@ThibaultTostain

Description

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Normal installation of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on a Dell computer with Intel. Normal use for one year.
  2. Download version v7.10.6, the file "focalboard-linux.tar.gz", unzip it, and double-click on the executable.
  3. Nothing happens, no error message or anything else. → Problem detected.
  4. Launch via command line with ./focalboard-app.
  5. Error message: ./focalboard-app: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Edition and Platform

  • Edition: Personal Desktop
  • Version: V7.10.6
  • Browser and OS: Firefox 134.0.1 (64 bits) ; Ubuntu 24.04 LTS last update.

Problem Resolution

I use this link : https://www.chippiko.com/installing-libwebkit2gtk-4-0-ubuntu

  1. sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
  2. deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy main
  3. sudo apt update
  4. sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37

Expected Behavior

I would have liked an error message informing me that the library is not installed, possibly with commands to resolve it / a link to this issue, or even the automatic installation of the library.
