estimated releasedate for OpenBoard 1.7.2 for Ubuntu 24.04? #1116

Hi, is there an estimated releasedate for OpenBoard 1.7.2 for Ubuntu 24.04?

Just asking, because I have some trouble with my not working pen at 1.7.2 RC when second Monitor is connected on my Lenovo X1 Yoga 360. (I will open a Bug-Report for that, finger-touch works) Thank you, Michael

I do NOT mean something like "25.10.2024". I mean something like "in 2024" or "first quarter of 2025", or "January 2025"...

Hi, probably something like "25.10.2024" 😄

Please note that as stated in the readme of the project, the only officially supported platform for linux will be Debian 12. But you'll probably find a community-driven package for Ubuntu 24.04, if the Debian one is not working on Ubuntu 24.04

Probably an appimage or flatpak version of the app would fix the "distro compatibility" issue once and for all. I hope devs consider this.

There is a Flatpak version of OpenBoard! See the Downloads wiki page.

Please see also my answer to your issue #1043 where I already gave the pointer to the Flatpak and also listed other available options.

I tried the flatpack-Version with Ubuntu 24.04 (Voyager), but sadly I was not able to get it to work with some changes in the OpenBoard.config about my specific pathes for data, Video, pictures and so on. to sync just ONE folder with my nextcloud. It ignores my changes.

Please note that a Flatpak runs in some kind of sandbox. The configuration files you normally expect in ~/.local/openboard/ are instead located in the sandbox at ~/.var/app/ch.openboard.OpenBoard/data/openboard/. You have to apply your changes to the OpenBoardUser.config in this directory.

See here for the Flatpak specification of this directory: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/conventions.html#xdg-base-directories

I gave the flatpack-Version 1.7.1 another try with my Ubuntu 24.04 (Voyager). I put my pathes into the OpenBoardUser.config like you mentioned. My pathes like this: [App] DataDirectory=/media/Datenplatte/Unterricht UserImageDirectory=/media/Datenplatte/Unterricht/Bilder UserVideoDirectory=/media/Datenplatte/Unterricht/Videos UserAudioDirectory=/media/Datenplatte/Unterricht/Audio [Podcast] RecordingDirectory=/media/Datenplatte/Unterricht/Aufzeichnungen

But sadly the pathes were totally ignored.

Then I added my pathes into: /var/lib/flatpak/app/ch.openboard.OpenBoard/x86_64/stable/7f0b9f4832b6dd33759279324f9e93d4f79c030c796dbf2d1fdacb3d1dfc785e/files/etc/openboard/OpenBoard.config

But sadly also resulting in totally ignoring my pathes...

Are there any other ideas? Regards, Michael

Any update? Anything I could help with?

Hi !

Nope waiting for a GO from the test team, then we deploy in our schools, then I update the site and github. Should be a matter of days, because a lot is happening at the same time (for other projects)

You could, for a bug we just identified two days ago, about mp3 sounds not starting or very lately or after multiple clicks. only on Debian, both with 1.7.1 (debian qt5) and 1.7.2 (debian qt6.4). For 1.7.2, changing the backend to ffmpeg helps as it starts immediately, but then after multiple times playing the same sound the issue appears again. I'll send you an OpenBoard document where the issue can be reproduced easily, if you're interested in.

Yes, I can try!
