I installed wireguard and wireguard-cli but trying to launch wireguard-cli fails, both in user and administrator modes...

paul@ENVY:~$ wireguard-gui

Am i missing some prerequisite? I dont want to develop or build, just run it

[paulhiggs]

Note that snap install wireguard-gui installs 0.1.1

paul@ENVY:~$ snap install wireguard-gui
wireguard-gui 0.1.1 from leone (leonev) installed

so I downloaded the 0.1.2 package and find a missing dependency libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37

paul@ENVY:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i wireguard-gui_0.1.2_amd64.deb

This is solved by

1. adding deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy main into /etc/apt/sources.list
2. running sudo apt update
3. running sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18 libicu70 libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37

Perhaps some information on installing prerequisites (or having them in the install package) should be provided

Hey thanks for the report, the snap version doesn't work properly currently.

The missing dependencies such as libcanberra-gtk-module libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18 libicu70 libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 is weird i didn't had to install them on a fresh install, i'll add them in the prerequise in the readme

[leon3s]

I have updated the readme, closing this issue.

@paulhiggs so the deb file is broken for 24.04 you say? Since I don't have these issues either. However I installed the deb on Linux mint 21.3, which is actually based on a older Ubuntu: Ubuntu 22.04.

Ps. I do expect libwebkit2gtk to be required indeed. But not all listed deps above are required I believe.

Also the build system should have the debs listed in the deb file. However, maybe the deb file is only valid for Ubuntu 22.04.

[melroy89]

This is the error I see when trying to install the deb:

[leon3s]

I guess extending the dependencies will fix that i'll add it in 0.1.4 release

[leon3s]

0.1.4 is release and should fix the problem

[melroy89]

Well not this deb file installation error:

[melroy89]

So under Ubuntu 24.04 this package is now called: libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0. https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0

[melroy89]

So in the package depends for Ubuntu you need to use an "OR" syntax basically like : libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 | libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0. So on older Ubuntu releases it might need to install and find the 4.0-37 version, while on newer ubuntu releases it's able to find and install 4.1.0 of this package dependency.

I hope that is possible to do that in Nextauri, I use CMake and with CMake I can use this | pipe symbol for this purpose.. Here a real-life example of my WineGUI project: https://gitlab.melroy.org/melroy/winegui/-/blob/main/cmake/packaging.cmake?ref_type=heads#L40

[leon3s]

I doubt this is possible i'll see what i can do

On Lubuntu 24.04.01 v0.1.5 .deb also has unsatisfiable dependencies. instead of libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18 needs 4.1-0 or 6.1-0 instead of libicu70, needs 74 instead of libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 needs 4.1-0 P.S. Appimage functions.

[melroy89]

On Lubuntu 24.04.01 v0.1.5 .deb also has unsatisfiable dependencies.

Yes well. It's the same issue, since Lubuntu 24.04 is based on Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat).

[cloudy-sfu]

I'm using Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS. @osering method works, but the release v0.1.5 stable still sticks on libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37. Even used dpkg -i --force-all to skip, the installed program still cannot run.

[melroy89]

Even used dpkg -i --force-all to skip, the installed program still cannot run.

Of course that won't fix the issue. Now you need to make sure you manually install all package dependencies. Like libjavascriptcoregtk, libicu and libwebkit2gtk. And most likely more.

[leon3s]

I'll create a build workflow that run on ubuntu 24 to fix this issue
