Can't install ripdrag on Kubuntu because rustc is too old

[FunctionDJ]

Full error upon running cargo install ripgrep (non-sudo):

error: failed to compile `ripdrag v0.4.2`, intermediate artifacts can be found at `/tmp/cargo-installItzQP5`

Caused by:
  package `glib-macros v0.18.0` cannot be built because it requires rustc 1.70 or newer, while the currently active rustc version is 1.67.1

Uninstall cargo from apt: sudo apt remove cargo and try installing cargo with rustup: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.3 https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh This should install the latest rust toolchain and allow you to build ripdrag. Let me know if this fixes it, so I can update the instructions for ubuntu. Thanks

@nik012003 installation worked and i can run ripdrag, but i get the following output, not sure if those warnings are significant:

$ ripdrag 

(ripdrag:31522): Gtk-WARNING **: 15:37:01.447: Unknown key gtk-modules in /home/function/.config/gtk-4.0/settings.ini

(ripdrag:31522): Gtk-WARNING **: 15:37:01.762: GtkGizmo 0x5573b24f1cb0 (slider) reported min width -2, but sizes must be >= 0

(ripdrag:31522): Gtk-WARNING **: 15:37:01.762: GtkGizmo 0x5573b24e1c00 (slider) reported min height -2, but sizes must be >= 0
^C

When you update the instructions, could you please also add how to undo the installation? Thanks a lot :)

The gtk-warnings shouldn't matter, unfortunately there are still a few things to iron out with new gtk versions.

The new instruction will be the ones I posted in the previous comment, so there's nothing to undo here. If you still wanna remove everything, you can: uninstall ripdrag: cargo uninstall ripdrag remove the toolchain: rustup self uninstall

Thanks a lot!
