Hi I am using Lubuntu20, downloaded this file,
https://download.delta.chat/desktop/v1.22.2/deltachat-desktop_1.22.2_amd64.deb
but it tells me that the application ‘Ubuntu Software’ does not recognise this file
You can always use GDebi to install .deb files:
sudo apt install gdebi
or sudo dpkg -i path/to/file.deb
, replace path/to/file.deb
with the path to the downloaded .deb
file you want to install, in this case deltachat-desktop_1.22.2_amd64.deb
.
since_ on irc posted completed command for you:
sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/deltachat-desktop_1.22.2_amd64.deb
if you use dpkg
you need to take care of dependencies, so you have to execute afterwards:
sudo apt-get install -f
or use apt
instead of dpkg
so you run only one command:
sudo apt install ~/Downloads/deltachat-desktop_1.22.2_amd64.deb
And just for the sake of completeness remember that you also have the universal AppImage and the Flatpak/Flathub version which is the one I’m using from a time now without any issues (except for the extra disc space but with the benefit of simple updates…).
Best regards!
Sorry for late response. And thank you for helping.
If I remember correctly it finally worked by opening software manager first and searching for delta.chat
It worked following these instructions for Ubuntu:
