Download Activinspire Software

[Valiant Puga]

sincethe version 2.24, Activinspire is disown by his maintainer that fail to resolve some dependencies. Activinspire is a very good software for interactive whiteboard, but its linux version (for ubuntu focal) is package by crazy people with terrible script, gnome extension, old dependencies... For exemple, a few version ago, the deb contain 3 times the software inside for no reason. So i understand the maintainer..

- MD5, version...etc

- Remove /etc/xdg but keep /etc/udev (needed???)

- Remove /usr/share/gnome-shell (i am on kde so i don't see the need of this extension and i don't think it's the way to go)

- Remove com.ubuntu.user-interface.gschema.xml that seems no longer needed

- Remove killing inspire at launch as it seems not needed any more (had to test more)

- Update dependencies : icu60 seems no longer needed and openssl1.1 instead of 1.0

- Resolve dependency by brutally adding in /opt/activsoftware libre2.so.5 and libwebp.so.6 in /opt/activsoftware from ubuntu focal deb ( -5 and )

It seems to work well on my setup (except small font in the menu that don't bother me to much and the impossibility to print but it was like this before). Before taking my time to understand how to become the new maintainer, i need to know if people are interested and i need some test. I put all the file need to compile and test the 2.24 version here :

It's a version to be compile locally with activinspire deb directly in the folder, the link for the activinspire deb will be update for AUR version to be download it from promothean server. The rest is rework script and lib from ubuntu package, so i don't think it will pose some license problem.

As far as I know, you can only authenticate from an Ubuntu distribution (20.04) according to their instruction on their website ( ). Follow the steps on another (virtual) machine, but then use a command to download and save the .deb-package, for example sudo apt download activinspire.

edit: The binaries only seem to work in an x11 session. Trying to execute them on a wayland compositor leads to weird segmentation faults. If someone can fix the problem or just find an easy workaround, please do tell. Thank you.

It is looking for symbol _ZN3re23RE23Arg12parse_stringEPKcmPv in its own packaged libQt6WebEngineCore.so.6, which does not exist. If you make it use the libQt6WebEngineCore.so.6 form the Arch package qt6-webengine, it is looking for Symbol _ZN9QtPrivate25QMetaTypeInterfaceWrapperI4QUrlE8metaTypeE, which does not exist in the Arch version of the library.

Printing doesn't work for me either. I just hadn't noticed it yet because I never print.So far I don't have an idea on how to debug this either, but I'll try. As a workaround you can export to PDF and then print the PDF.

First, I'm unable to print from activinspire. Using File -> Print... only opens a window stating "No printers installed on this computer" even though printing worked with 2.18. Any idea what's wrong here or how to debug the problem?
