My main goal is to install Tizen Studio IDE so I can learn Tizen development, and I want to do this on Ubuntu.

I have downloaded web-ide_Tizen_Studio_3.2_ubuntu-64.bin and make it executable, and can run this (after a long struggle to install the JDK, but thats another question for another time). But when I do, it says that i have not installed the prerequisites, and I must do the following:

sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 sudo apt-get install rpm2cpio

The rmp2cpio package seemed to install, but not the libwenkitgtk-1.0-0. It gives me the error:

~/Downloads$ sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done Package libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'libwebkitgtk-1.0-0' has no installation candidate

I have tried searching for a package but it looks like there is not one available (only for older versions of ubuntu) but there must be some way I can force it or even install the version for Ubuntu 18.04 or 18.10?

Thank you

Adam

  • Based on this, it seems to only be available for up to 18.10. I would suggest to download the .deb file from the PPA here, by expanding version 2.4.11-4 of webkitgtk for Cosmic (18.10), and downloading libwebkitgtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-4.deb for the correct architecture. Then, use sudo dpkg -i libwebkitgtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-4_<your architecture>.deb. You may also need to install dependencies with sudo apt install -f.

  • Thank you very much Eate, I followed those instructions and it worked. There was a dependency for libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-4_amd64.deb which I installed in the same manner. I was then able to install Tizen Studio. The next problem is that the package manager will not load - just click and nothing happens, and trying to run Tizen Studio (Eclipse?) gives me a very long error message. I will raise another question for this.

  • Hm. This might be because it was for another version, and might have broken something — it should still work, though,

Edit: As @fkraiem said, installing 18.04 will also solve your problems, and I personally recommend using the LTS versions unless you really want the latest version.

Install 18.04... – fkraiem

  • could you elaborate more on the steps? especially on "expanding" the version. Navigating the PPA page is very alien to me

    Click here, scroll or look down until you see a heading in the table of releases, "The Bionic Beaver (supported)". Click on the version you want (currently, 2.4.11-3ubuntu3) under "The Bionic Beaver", and scroll down to click on "libwebkitgtk-1.0-0: Web content engine library for GTK+". Click on it. Find your architecture (likely amd64) and click on the latest version that says "(Release)" (currently libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 2.4.11-3ubuntu3 in amd64 (Release) for amd64). Click and download the file under "Downloadable files". Then dpkg install.

I am not sure this is something stupid to do, but I was running out of options and this solution solved my problem. (please tell me if I did something idiotic).

I created a bionc.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d in than file I added the following line:

deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main universe

I ran an apt update and then installed libwebkit normally...

I needed to run Vega and this was the only way I figured to do it...

Good news - it worked... I am waiting for the bad news

  • This worked for me, too. But it scared the daylights out of me to sudo unknown commands and have tons of stuff loaded as a result. Can anyone explain why this worked to enable Pentaho Pan.sh?

Edit this file to add this

At the end add

deb [trusted=yes] http://cl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main universe

sudo apt install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0
