[José Luis Viéitez]

Hi!

I'm trying to install Google Webdesigner on GNU/Linux Debian Testing "Jessie" and shows me the following error:

# dpkg -i google-webdesigner_current_amd64.deb 

Preparing to unpack google-webdesigner_current_amd64.deb ...

Unpacking google-webdesigner (1.0.1.0-1) ...

So, If anyone of you can help... =)

Hi Jose!

It may be that the distro you are using is not supported by Google Web Designer. Please take a look at our system requirements, while we do support Debian 7++, it may be an issue with the "testing jessie" portion of your build: https://support.google.com/webdesigner/answer/3232604

What is your system locale?  Are you behind a proxy server?

Hi José,

I just downloaded and installed Debian Jessie Alpha 1 64bit (amd64) with Spanish and I was able to install and run GWD successfully.

We are basically testing with stable versions of OS though I'm wondering what is the difference between your Debian and a clean installed Alpha 1 release?

Thanks,

+1 same error Debian Jessie (not x64). Supported version apparently.

I am using ubuntu-gnome 64bit. I am trying to fix this but every time I am getting this error:

Setting up google-webdesigner (1.3.10.0-1) ...

Just a heads up that Web Designer for Linux only supports 64-bit. It will not run on a 32-bit machine.

Our package scripts do call out to gconftool-2 to setup a custom url handler which allows template links to launch GWD. You could try removing those calls from the script and re-archive the deb package.

Or you could install gconf2 via sudo apt-get install gconf2

[nis...@gmail.com]

My problem fixed by re-installing gconf-editor

[John Mayhew]

I'm glad to hear it. We are working to remove the dependency on gconftool as it is deprecated.
