Hello!
I installed GeoGebra on ubuntu 21.04. But I doesn't start after clicking on GeoGebra Item it. It doesn't start too when I click on an ggb-file.
I don't have much experience with ubuntu. Does anybody know what could be the problem?
 


you could start by finding script that lanches that program. For instance to find firefox:

Code: 
[andrew@darkstar:~][127]$ which firefox                           (06-01 16:27)
/usr/bin/firefox
[andrew@darkstar:~]$                                              (06-01 19:48)

If its in usr/bin you can just try launching it from a terminal eg:

Code: 
firefox

Any issues should be output to the terminal you sued to launch; yoiu can copy thay output and post it. Deps seem to be (at least on Arch : c-ares-1.17.1-1-... 196.1 KiB 168 KiB/s 00:01 [----------------------] 100%
electron-12.0.9-... 48.6 MiB 350 KiB/s 02:22 )



i did exactly that on Arch and got : Attempt to load file /usr/lib/geogebra/resources/app
Then saw (see image)

..mmmhhmm, I'm sorry, I don't understand why to do this for launching geogebra... However, I typed it in terminal and I launched Firefox. But what's next?

When I type geogebra I get some Version Infos: "GeoGebra 4.2.60.0" and "Setting up logging"
 
firefox was an example ; just type geogebra in a terminal and see if it posts any issues copy and past in thisd forum what you get.
 
I installed GeoGebra on ubuntu 21.04.

thats quite new isn't it ? yet you installed GeoGebra 4.2.60.0 mine is Name : geogebra
Version : 6.0.644.0-1
Description : Dynamic mathematics software with interactive graphics,
algebra and spreadsheet
Architecture : x86_64
URL : https://www.geogebra.org/

Are you sure there is not a newer version in Bunto repos?

I installed just the version out the repository. But I'm ready for a newer version. But my first try to get a newer version ended up in getting GeoGebra-Classic. And this is not usable for. But there should be a newer version of the normal GeoGebra, I already installed the version 5.0.644.0 on windows.
 
@Lorz how did you install geogebra , what command ? did it also install geogebra-gnome?

apt-get route should have installed all deps eg
 
no problem but can you elaborate on the method you used to install geogebra?

if you needed to install geogebra-gnome from command line it would be:

Code: 
 sudo apt-get install geogebra-gnome

@Alexzee you might have to help me out here, i'm beginning to forget Debian commands . My brains fuzzed today after switching from gulp to compile scss to css that i couldn't getr working to Grunt on Arch

The current version (6.0) is here under Other GeoGebra Classic 6 versions

Reference:GeoGebra Installation - GeoGebra Manual

I was wrong, the version in Windows is also a "classis" version. But how I wrote it's a version 5. On the GeoGebra Page I read something about trouble shooting of version 4.
So my new aim is maybe to get version installed on ubuntu.

I searched for GeoGebra in repository. I found it and clicked install.

ok next time go to menu-> terminal and type in :
Code: 
sudo apt-get geogebra

that command will not only install the package but also the required deps for it.A software package will not work if you also haven't installed the dependecny package it needs.

For info on package i think:

Code: 
apt-cache show geogebra

by the way is your PC 64 bit or 32 bit ?


if its 64 bit click on this link:


look for it in downlaods. Move to Downloads in terminal etc eg

Code: 
//type into terminal following( don't type the $):
$ pwd
// that should confirm your in home.
$ cd Downloads
//that takes you to Downloads

$ ls --color

//lists files in downloads for you 


then you would use:
sudo dpkg -i nameofpackage.deb
