Can't install on ubuntu 24.04

[jibon0070]

when we try to run command

sudo dpkg -i git-butler_0.11.5_amd64.deb

It throws an error saying

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of git-butler:
 git-butler depends on libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37; however:
  Package libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 is not installed.

but in ubuntu 24.04 it's not possible to use libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37;
in ubuntu 24.04 libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 installed by default

please help we are addicted to both ubuntu 24.04 and gitbutler

Hey there, sorry you're hitting this. I'm not sure what the workaround for this is at the present moment; we don't control those dependencies, those are all handled by the Tauri project.

It looks like tauri-apps/tauri#9662 is reporting it already. Sorry you're hitting it!

I'll subscribe there myself, and if there's any action we can take with e.g. our confs or something I'll do so and push out a fix pronto.

Thanks for the issue :)

Found a work around

add deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy main line to /etc/apt/sources.list file. then

sudo apt update

sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37

finally

sudo dpkg -i git-butler_0.11.7_amd64.deb

Hi @kaustubhthakur02, Installing the deb on versions of Ubuntu less than 24 is no longer supported. I believe the AppImage may still work, and we've got a FlatPack in the works which should behave the best out of all of them (@ndom91 can advise more).

You should also be able to build the project from source if the AppImage fails.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

[ndom91]

You can find an experimental version of the first-party flatpak (built with 0.14.4) here: https://github.com/ndom91/gitbutler-flathub/actions/runs/12334361653

We'd be happy about any feedback!
