Trelby 2.2 installation on Ubuntu issues

[marcel...@gmail.com]

I downloaded the Ubuntu installer from the site and upon opening the file, it says

"Error, cannot satisfy dependencies"

I'm using Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial).

I went to console to investigate the dependencies

sudo dpkg -i trelby_2.2_all.deb

says that Trelby depends on "python-wxgtk2.8"

sudo apt install python-wxgtk2.8 results in 

E: Package 'python-wxgtk2.8' has no installation candidate

Apparently, the version that is compatible with Ubuntu 16.04 by default is python-wxgtk3.0 and with Trelby having a hard-coded version dependency, I don't know how to install it. Is there a way to still install Trelby on new OS versions or will there be an update that supports them?

[Anil Gulecha]

Indeed Trelby would not be compatible with the latest version of Ubuntu, which was released yesterday. I recall there was a thread where fixes for wx3.0 were discussed. We should include these new patches and cut a release.

Hi, I'm getting exactly the same issue on Debian Stretch.
So far I was not able to get around it, pitty I really hoped I could try Trelby as a replacement for CeltX.
(since they stop offering the free legacy desktop app on their website and you are stuck with subscribing to their online service.)

I actually just installed it via wine...

Hi Anil. It does look like a commit did fix the issue in git hub. Did some research, and, to my understanding, if new packages were build from the source on github, it would be compatible with Ubuntu 16.04. Is there any chance that we could request an update .deb package from github and have it put on the website or somewhere for download?

[rcen...@gmail.com]

Would this fix be difficult? I like Trelby but I'm considering moving to Linux Mint 18 (based on Ubuntu 16.04).

[Osku Salerma]

It's already fixed, just need to do a new release.

[jesse....@gmail.com]

Thanks for the reply, Osku. Any chance we can request an updated .deb package build and link on the website to download? One that's compatible with Ubuntu 16.04, its flavors, and Mint 18?

[rcen...@gmail.com]

Okay, thanks. Will this new release be numbered 2.3 when it's available?

[Osku Salerma]

Yes.

[rcen...@gmail.com]

Sounds good. Thank you.

[jesse....@gmail.com]

This is great news! Looking forward to telling Open Source and Linux filmmakers about 2.3 when it gets released. Many users will be very excited.

While we wait for 2.3 to be released, you can get Trelby 2.2 working on Ubuntu 16.04 (and I suppose other distributions as well) by following the steps posted here:

Try this link for Python2.8 libraries:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/wily/amd64/libwxgtk2.8-0/2.8.12.1+dfsg2-2ubuntu2

It's only a start.  Every time you download a library and try to install GDebi will ask for another dependency.  Be patient.  Eventually, you'll get them all.  The list on the left will tell you what the package relationships are.
