Just ordinary install via Eddy or dpkg will fail.

@Yury-MonZon thanks for reporting this problem.
it seems that popos does not have libasound2t64 in its official repo, you should install it separately.

From now on, Luciferin will also be released on Snap Store and Flathub,
I think that those methods will be the best way to install Luciferin from now on.

You can try it here:
https://snapcraft.io/install/fireflyluciferin/pop
https://flathub.org/apps/org.dpsoftware.FireflyLuciferin

please let me know if this solves your problem.

[Yury-MonZon]

Thank you for a quick reply.

The libasound2t64 is intended to be used with Ubuntu 24. Sadly the latest Pop OS is still based on Ubuntu 22. So I can't have this library.

I don't like using snap etc, but if it's the only solution - I'll have to.

As far as I understand the only major difference between libasound2 and libasound2t64 is the Y2038 fixes. Do we really need them right now? Can firefly be built with libasound2 instead?

That lib is not mandatory if not for the audio effects.

You can try to install Luciferin with the --ignore-deps option...
Please let me know if this works for you.

[Yury-MonZon]

It didn't work so I opted out with flatpack option. It is very slow on restart (after applying the settings) and I have problems with scaling - I'll report it in corresponding issue.

[sblantipodi]

@Yury-MonZon can you tell me what "it didn't work" mean?
did you had some errors during the installation of the deb file?

[sblantipodi]

@Yury-MonZon
please uninstall previous debs/flatpak

can you please install this version and try if it fixed the deps problem for you?

does XIMAGESRC works well with this?
you don't need to delete your configuration for this...

[Yury-MonZon]

I meant to say that the installation with --ignore-deps didn't finish(multiple broken deps etc), I had to fix my apt after that.

can you please install this version and try if it fixed the deps problem for you?
Yay, install process is okay:

Preparing to unpack FireflyLuciferinLinux.deb ...
Unpacking fireflyluciferin (2.18.9) ...
Setting up fireflyluciferin (2.18.9) ...

No deps problems here, thanks a lot!

does XIMAGESRC works well with this?
It does work, but it is not grabbing the whole screen. Same problem as in #129

[sblantipodi]

I reopen the issue because it isn't released yet :)
I'll close it with the official release.

Thanks for reporting and for testing it :)
