why is 'Brackets' sidebar not working in Ubuntu 18.10?

  • 772

Problem 1 : I installed Ubuntu 18.10, after successful installation, i tried to install Brackets (version 1.13) using Terminal .
I used command to install 'Brackets' from terminal is...

gdebi Brackets.Release.1.13.64-bit.deb

but output throws an error...

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Reading state information... Done
This package is uninstallable Dependency is not satisfiable: libcurl3

I used above command in previous versions of 'Ubuntu' and it installed without any error .

Problem 2 : After problem 1 i tried to install Brackets from "Ubuntu's software center" and i installed successful .
But when i open it, the sidebar of Brackets is not working . when i opened a folder through 'Brackets' in which all my program files are present then i saw that the 'sidebar' doesn't display any files .

What is wrong here....

  1. gdebi Brackets.Release.1.13.64-bit.deb

    Probably a version that is too old or too new since Dependency is not satisfiable: libcurl3 means it can not install a mandatory piece of software for this to work.

    I would have issued a ...

    sudo apt install libcurl3

    and see if that installs and then act upon the error or install brackets again if it does not throw an error. gdebi likely does not install dependencies so you will need to do that yourself.

    After problem 1 i tried to install Brackets from "Ubuntu's software center" and i installed successful .

    That would be my 1st choice (over gdebi installation).

    then i saw that the 'sidebar' doesn't display any files .

    That we probably can not help you with. That seems related to the software itself. It could be a bug in Brackets.
