The first time I installed it, it worked fine. The second time fails. Would it be better just to supply an appimage so it works on multiple desktops?

Not sure if it helps but I had a similar issue while trying to install O3DE myself on Ubuntu 21.04. I solved my incomplete install of O3DE by upgrading CMake to version 3.22.0 (as shown in the docs).

[rathken]

IMHO Appimage would be great.. build doc has cmake > 3.20.5 so going to try 3.22.0 as suggested..

[rathken]

Still getting the error but with cmake 3.22.0 I got the project manager to run... editor doesn;t run yet but I think that is unrelated to the deb install issue.

Seems the post installation script require specific cmake version.

$ sudo apt install ./o3de_2111_1.deb

It would be great if the .deb package could have dependency on correct cmake version.

We should update the postinst.in script to NOT fail on the first failure. Furthermore we should have it output why it would fail.

I had to compile cmake, and have a compatible openssl version installed (1.1.1b); it still throwing this same error to me when installing the .deb package:

dpkg: error processing package o3de (--configure):
 installed o3de package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit 
status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

When trying to run the o3de binary, I get:

./o3de: symbol lookup error: /opt/O3DE/22.10.0/bin/Linux/profile/Default/libAzQtComponents.so: undefined symbol: _ZN16QStyleSheetStyle16staticMetaObjectE, version Qt_5_PRIVATE_API

EDIT: Forgot to add info about my system. I'm using Pop_OS (22.04 LTS)
