cannot intall plastic-scm-complete on Ubuntu 22 - it depends on liblttng-ust0

[Michał]

Ubuntu 22 doesn't have liblttng-ust0, it has: liblttng-ust1.

sudo apt install plasticscm-client-complete

Hi,

Unfortunately, we are aware of the issues with installing Plastic SCM on Ubuntu 22. Please watch this space, we intend to resolve this soon or at least provide a workaround.

Kind Regards,

Hey ollieblanks,

Is there any update to this? I'm attempting to install it on Ubuntu 22.04 and it is showing the same problem (Depends: liblttng-ust0 but it is not installable)

Best,

Jeremy

We needs updates, seem to be dragging out a bit.

After 2 days of trying to get this working, i have! See Screenshot

Unfortunately, support for Ubuntu 22.04 was not as straightforward as we would have liked, but we are still working on it.

@Mark Morris, can you share your workaround for other users in peril?

Hi,

So, my worry about sharing is i tried a few things and im pretty sure a couple of the things i tried helped towards getting it working, i feel like the thing that worked was, instead of `running apt-get install`. I did `apt-get download plasticscm-client-core`, then gave exec permissions and forced the install, which errored on plasticscm-client-core missing and a bunch of other things.

 

Then i did apt-get install -f, which it proceeded to download the missing files. I also included 18.04 URL into packages so it could get packages from 18.04.

 

Added video of it working.

Thank you Mark, It worked fine after including  source.list of Ubuntu 20.
I appended the sources from https://gist.github.com/vczb/694d55169f67a3b2ad20df1385a3e983 to the end of /etc/apt/source.list on Ubuntu 22.04, then `sudo apt update && sudo apt install plasticscm-client-core` can be installed correctly

Hello. Has the version for Jammy Fish been released on 22.04.01 LTS? Or maybe you can tell me how to run on a new version of Ubuntu? Maybe I missed the solution to the problem?

Some packages cannot be installed. Perhaps what you are asking
is not feasible, or you are using an unstable version of the distribution, where
the packages you requested have not yet been created or have been removed from Incoming.
The following information may help you:

The following packages have unsatisfied dependencies:
plasticscm-client-core : Depends on: liblttng-st 0 but it cannot be installed
plasticscm-client-gtk : Depends on: liblttng-st 0 but it cannot be installed
Depends: plasticscm-gnome-sharp-mono 4 (>=2.24.0) but it won't be installed
plasticscm-server-core : Depends: liblttng-ust0 but it can't be installed
E: It is impossible to fix errors: you have fixed broken packages.

Same problem here. Is there an ETA when this might be fixed? I am currently using the workaround here in the thread and working with the command line, but I would really appreciate it if I could use the Plastic SCM GUI again.

With the work around you should be able to fully use the GUI. It takes around 2 mins to do and its all working again. I have now done this on 2 computers (fresh installs) running Ubuntu 22.04.

I tried what you did, and I managed to install the plasticscm-client-core package. But that does not seem to give me any GUI interface. Can you maybe post a step-by-step guide what exactly you did to achieve this? I am currently stuck with the command line interface and it is not really working out for me...

You'll need to also install plasticscm-client-gui for the gui to work. Or simply install plasticscm-client-complete instead, which will take care of everything.
After installing, you can launch the gui client with "plasticgui".
