UPDATE: For Ubuntu 20.04+, OpenBoard v1.6.1 (or latter) is recommended.

OpenBoard v1.5.4 was released for Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) and some dependencies are no longer present on Ubuntu 18.04+, namely libavcodec-ffmpeg56. However, adding temporarily a couple of Xenial's repositories does the trick. Doing so shouldn't break your system since 18.04+ have up to date packages and those missing from Xenial have different naming (packages and files). This is however no warranty.

Tested on: 18.04 (Bionic Beaver), 19.10 (Eoan Ermine), 20.04 (Focal Fossa, ##issuecomment-636052149).

Upgrade the system.
Add Xenial repositories.
Update the package database.
Download and install OpenBoard v1.5.4.
Fix broken dependencies.
Remove Xenial repositories.
Update the package database (just in case).

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
echo -e "# Xenial repositories to satisfy OpenBoard v1.5.4 dependencies\n"\
"deb http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main universe\n"\
"deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main universe"\
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openboard-xenial.list
sudo apt update
wget https://github.com/OpenBoard-org/OpenBoard/releases/download/v1.5.4/openboard_ubuntu_16.04_1.5.4_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i openboard_ubuntu_16.04_1.5.4_amd64.deb
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openboard-xenial.list{,.save}
sudo apt update

Thanks, it's working fine with Ubuntu 19.10 too.

At that point I gave up. Anyone got any further advice? TIA. Chris

You have a typo, a dash too many.

apt --fix-broken-install
apt --fix-broken install
apt install --fix-broken

The first line is what you are typing (wrong). The last two lines are the one you should be typing (correct). Let us know.

It worked. I'm not sure that OpenBoard is interacting with my dual screens as I'd expect (which may mean that I don't understand enough about how OpenBoard should work. However it's clear that these instructions do install a working version of OpenBoard on Ubuntu 18.04 if you type accurately! Thanks Cedric.

I confirm that it is working on Ubuntu 20.04

Hey, Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. [Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS]

sudo dpkg -i openboard_ubuntu_16.04_1.5.4_amd64.deb

When I run this command, I face these following errors -

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

If I continue, it removes the Openboard and nothing happens. Openboard is not installed. If I enter n, it gets Aborted. ~~Either way, still can't install Openboard for Ubuntu 18.04.~~

~~Please advice.~~ Thanks.

[EDIT] - Referred to #231 for Ubuntu 18.04 installation. Seems to work for now.

vitaminace33 commented 4 years ago

Did you follow all the steps?

VishalVaddina commented 4 years ago

Yes. Every step as provided. But unfortunately, I received the same error everytime.

kaamui commented 4 years ago

If you want to try 1.6.0 (event if still in alpha considering Windows and Mac environmments, the linux version is pretty much stable) just follow the instructions here :

https://github.com/OpenBoard-org/OpenBoard/wiki/Build-OpenBoard-on-Ubuntu-20.04

If you need to stay on 1.5.4, just modify the deb file to make it match the ffmpeg packages available in your distribution, like explained here :

https://github.com/OpenBoard-org/OpenBoard/issues/231#issuecomment-530009353

vitaminace33 commented 4 years ago

@VishalVaddina, try to install dependencies after updating the package database and prior to installing openboard like so

[...]
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libavformat-ffmpeg56 libavcodec-ffmpeg56 libavcodec-ffmpeg-extra56 \
                 libswresample-ffmpeg1 libswscale-ffmpeg3 libavutil-ffmpeg54 onboard
wget [...]

VishalVaddina commented 4 years ago

@vitaminace33 and @kaamui Thank you so much for your help and guidance.

But as mentioned in my initial comment, I was using Ubuntu-18.04 and referred to #231 to install OpenBoard successfully. I've been using it the last few days, everything seem to be running smoothly. So I'm sticking to it now. Thanks

sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openboard-xenial.list{,.save} mv: cannot stat '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/openboard-xenial.list': No such file or directory

I have the error above in the last step of the installation

vitaminace33 commented 3 years ago

You are not on Ubuntu 18.04 (codename Xenial Xerus) and the command should be adapted accordingly.

Better take a look into #288 and/or consider installing the latest release.
