  • 772

I am looking for Fotowall for 16.04 This link says it is in the universe repo.

I cannot get it in my repository. Can someone help me or give information? Currently I am using pilr via the web. I need a program to do a collage with pictures.

  1. That page you linked to seems to be completely wrong... As pointed out by rancho, fotowall is not in xenial repositories as the developers stopped working on it.

    Nontheless, you can still install it as a .deb package built for 16.04 from this launchpad page.

    First get the dependencies:

    sudo apt install libqt4-network libqt4-opengl libqt4-svg libqt4-xml libqtcore4 libqtgui4 libqtwebkit4
sudo apt -f install

    then download the right version for your system - this one is for 64-bit

    wget launchpadlibrarian.net/211041459/fotowall_0.98~beta+git20150707-1_amd64.deb

    and this one is for 32-bit (I haven't tested this version as my system is 64-bit)

    wget launchpadlibrarian.net/211041511/fotowall_0.98~beta+git20150707-1_i386.deb

    then install (replace amd64 with i386 if you got that version - in any use use the exact name):

    sudo dpkg -i fotowall_0.98~beta+git20150707-1_amd64.deb

    if any dependency errors pop up, fix them (I've already included all the ones I needed, but you might find more on your system) by installing the packages mentioned: sudo apt install name-of-package or with sudo apt -f install. When done you can launch by typing 

    fotowall

    This package works fine in my Xubuntu 16.04

  2. The reason may be because fotowall till now is supported only upto Wily Werewolf. See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fotowall I guess you are using Xenial Xerus
