  • 1.  libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 on ubuntu 22.04 LTS

    Hi there,

    just testing out the latest pdi-kettle on ubuntu 22.04 LTS. But getting on start:
    $ /opt/data-integration/spoon.sh 
    #######################################################################
    WARNING:  no libwebkitgtk-1.0 detected, some features will be unavailable
        Consider installing the package with apt-get or yum.
        e.g. 'sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0'
    #######################################################################
    ​


    But libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 is no longer available on ubuntu 22.04 and so I tried to install later versions of libwebkitgtk. But getting always the same error on startup.

    For what is libwebkitgtk needed and if it is important - how can I solve that issue?

    libwebgtk is the linux port of the webkit browser extensions.

    You can still install it, but you need to add the older ubuntu package repository
    sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

    Add this entry to the file and save:

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

    sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0
    How to install the libwebkitgtk package on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS?

    I ran into the same problem trying to install this package on the AWS Linux 2 standard image. Any ideas how I might install this older package on AWS Linux 2 (which, IIRC, is based on RedHat Enterprise Edition)?

    *** REVIEWED PROCEDURE AND VALIDATED WITH UBUNTU 22.04.03 LTS (21.Nov.2023) ***

    Edit the source file with:

    sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

    # Add entry to repository that contains the old lib
    deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main universe

    # Alternative link if upper does not work
    deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu bionic main universe


    If the system complains about unknown GPG public Key when trying to execute the 

    sudo apt-get update

    and you observe error similar to this one:


    Execute the following command where the last HEX string corresponds to the returned to you (might be different):

    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 3B4FE6ACC0B21F32

    The above command should result in success


    Repeat the installation procedure with:

    sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0

    Troubleshooting

    Upon running spoon.sh if other error appear like Failed to load module “canberra-gtk-module” run the following command:

    sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk-module libcanberra-gtk3-module

    Hi,

    why is this dependency not removed? It's still nagging in version 9.4. libwebkitgtk-1.0 is not available from focal LTS onwards and adding a Czech mirror to already existing and similar package repositories can't be a reasonable solution, it may rather confuse the system.

    I'd suggest to move forward to at least libwebkitgtk-2.0. And at the moment libwebkitgtk-6.0 is the only available in newer Ubuntu distributions.

    Regards, Thomas

    Hi Thomas,

    yes, the libwebkitgtk-1.0 is required for Pentaho 9.4 release client tools. It is required by some of the GUI components.

    The Engineering team is evaluating it for the future versions.

    apt-key is deprecated by Ubuntu, and these instructions no longer work for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

    Hello Bradley,

    yes, the apt-key tool reports deprecation warning on Ubuntu 22.04, though it is working correctly on that version.

    I have reconfirmed the steps with a fresh Ubuntu 22.04.03 LTS (default installation). The procedure works, all links and instructions are valid and safe!

    I have further improved my response above including adding a second/alternative link for the distributions locations and screenshot of the confirmation for the imported key. 

    Please try again.

    It is used for certain dialogs, which are browser based, and for the Preview command which opens the data visualization tool.
