Ubuntu 11.10 installation`

Andy Dunning Oct 15, 2011 05:01PM CEST

Hey there everyone -
after installing Ubuntu 11.10, my Wunderlist app (32 bit) wouldn't run at all. The problem was exactly what Daniel describes on the Linux problems list: no error message or apparent malfunction, just no response. I uninstalled Wunderlist and then downloaded the app again to try to reinstall. When I extracted the file and clicked the installer, I got the error message: "the installer was not given enough information to continue." I've installed curl (which I guess I should have done to start with) so that theoretically the thing will run when I do get it installed. But does anyone know what information the installer needs, and how I provide it? Thanks for any ideas you can offer.

We're sorry for that guys! We're currently working on that problem and will be running under 11.10 soon!

Hello erland,

Thanks for your interest. We can't give you an estimated release date for that yet. But we have this on our agenda and try to solve this problem as soon as possible.

Best regards from Berlin

I'm running into the same problem after having upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10. Wunderlist was running fine under the previous version of Ubuntu.

i am using Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit version. I installed curl, but the install failed to start, with this message:

./Wunderlist: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Yu and Mark,
Hm. I was thinking that maybe this problem was unique to the 32 bit version. I'm continuing to try and solve the problem. I'll post if I come up with an answer, and if anyone in the community gets there first I'll appreciate the assistance.

Eric, thanks. This wouldn't be a problem if Wunderlist were not such a great app. I've become dependent on it in a very short time: it tracks GTD exactly like I want it to.

To get Wunderlist working on Ubuntu 11.10 32bit, I did the following.

I opened a terminal window then

tar xvzf wunderlist*.tgz

sudo mv Wunderlist-1.2.4/ /opt/

all the libiraries that have been updated in 11.10, need links to point to the old one which Wunderlist is looking for. If anything has changed in the newer version it could break, but it seems to work!

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libffi.so.6 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libffi.so.5

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnotify.so.4 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnotify.so.1

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libssl.so.0.9.8

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.0.9.8

Then move libcurl that comes with Wunderlist and create a link to libcurl in ubuntu.

mv /opt/Wunderlist-1.2.4/runtime/1.2.0.RC3/libcurl.so.4 /opt/Wunderlist-1.2.4/runtime/1.2.0.RC3/libcurl.so.4.backup

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4 /opt/Wunderlist-1.2.4/runtime/1.2.0.RC3/libcurl.so.4

And finally if you have tried wunderlist before doing all these steps then you will have some files saved in ~/.titanium/Wunderlist just delete this directory and start wunderlist again.

@bruno: you're missing libXss.so.1 file. To find out, which package provides that (or any other) file, go to packages.ubuntu.com and put the file name in second text field (under "Search the contents of packages") and hit Search. You will be presented with list of packages providing that file (in Packages column).

In this case, all you have to do is:

sudo apt-get install libxss1

I tried bebes and Davids approach but the problem "not enough information given" persists.
I use Ubuntu11.10 and tried the 64bit-version.

Kudos for David and Bebe, this works like a charm.

Personally, I did the tricks on 11.10 64 bits, to do so, change in the pathes provided by David "i386-linux-gnu" by "x86_64-linux-gnu".

Install libxss1 and...run.

Thanks guys!

Yup,
On ubuntu 11.10, 64bit, I just had the libffi.so.5 missing error, just linked it

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libffi.so.6 sudo /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libffi.so.5

And it's now working like a charm !

Over Ubuntu 11.10 64 bits:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libffi.so.6 sudo /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libffi.so.5
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-lix-gnu/libnotify.so.4 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnotify.so.1

After these fixes, it works surprisingly well on Ubuntu 11.10 (x64). I've had some really bad experiences with Titanium-built products in the past. This, however, works very fine. Thanks all for the tips. Saves me installing some packages.

ok, more data:

When I try to execute Wunderlist directly, I get a response much the same as Bruno's, above. However, in my case, the pertinent line appears to be:

[20:08:53:928] [Titanium.Host] [Error] Could not load module (/opt/Wunderlist-1.2.4/modules/tiui/1.2.0.RC3/libtiuimodule.so): "Error loading module (/opt/Wunderlist-1.2.4/modules/tiui/1.2.0.RC3/libtiuimodule.so): libnotify.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have searched on packages.ubuntu.com for libnotify.so.1, but it does not appear to exist.

So, how did Wunderlist themselves get this program to run? Shouldn't be this hard really.

Hi, @Eric Labod - when will Wunderlist be in the Ubuntu 11.10 Software Centre for simple installation? I've been waiting for it. It's been quite some time since you posted that reply in mid-October.
Thanks, Erland.

The script from http://www.plantoschka.com/2011/11/wunderlist-installation-unter-ubuntu.html worked perfectly for me. For those of you who don't speak German:

The script can be found here: http://pastebin.com/bXr0qQQH

(0.: If you tried to install Wunderlist before and it didn't work, first delete the settings folder by opening a terminal and typing
sudo rm -r ~/.titanium
)

1. Download the script
2. Open a terminal and navigate to the folder into which you downloaded the script.
3. Make it executable by typing
sudo chmod+x installwunderlist.sh
4. Execute the script:
sudo ./installWunderlist.sh

Afterwards, you should be able to run Wunderlist from the Applications->Office menu.
