We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Re: [FIXED] Best way to handle .deb files?

I manually extracted to a temp folder

$ dpkg-deb -x anydesk_2.9.1-1_amd64.deb /home/temp

The main executable complains

./anydesk: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkglext-x11-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

there are no libs included in the .deb

reminds of 'dll hell' on that other os lol!

Re: [FIXED] Best way to handle .deb files?

Assuming 64 bit version downloaded

Option 1:-
Open terminal in download folder
sudo dpkg -i anydesk_2.9.1-1_amd64.deb

Option 2:-
Use either synaptic or command line to install gdebi (sudo apt-get install gdebi)
Then right click on anydesk_2.9.1-1_amd64.deb
Open with>gdebi

gdebi will look for dependencies and resolve them as part of the install.

This does of course come with a health warning - any application installed from outside the normal repositories is at your own risk etc etc etc

Thanks

gdebi worked perfectly and fetched deps

AnyDesk works fine too smile

Would still be using TV11 but its nagging hell out of me [used on one PC only]
