XnView Software

Hi there,
Cannot install Xnview on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

1 With Ubuntu installer, error message (in french, sorry) : Ce logiciel provient d'une tierce partie et est susceptible de contenir des éléments non libres.

2 With sudo apt-get install /home/bernard/Bureau/XnViewMP-linux-x64.deb, :
...
Paramétrage de xnview (0.79) ...
N: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '/home/bernard/Bureau/XnViewMP-linux-x64.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission non accordée)

3 With sudo dpkg -i XnViewMP-linux-x64.deb et sudo apt-get install -f :
Lecture des listes de paquets... Fait
Construction de l'arbre des dépendances
Lecture des informations d'état... Fait
0 mis à jour, 0 nouvellement installés, 0 à enlever et 9 non mis à jour.
Xnview doesn't run (when starting the program, timer is in progress and at the end: nothing, nada, rien !)

4 With sudo apt-get install /home/bernard/Bureau/XnViewMP-linux-x64.tgz
Lecture des listes de paquets... Fait
E: Unsupported file /home/bernard/Bureau/XnViewMP-linux-x64.tgz given on commandline

5 and finally the PPA https://launchpad.net/~noobslab/+archiv ... hotography doesn't work.

Any idea how to install XnView?

please try to decompress the .tgz package

OK dpkg is done, but when running sh i've got this issue:

$ sudo sh /home/bernard/Téléchargements/XnView/xnview.sh
[sudo] Mot de passe de bernard :
/home/bernard/Téléchargements/XnView/XnView: error while loading shared libraries: libgstapp-0.10.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$

you need to install gstreamer

Thanks for your help.
Is it possible to replace gstreamer because it doesn't install too?

try

Always the same error about shared libraries

bernard@bernard:~$ sudo apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-0
OK
bernard@bernard:~$ sudo sh /home/bernard/Téléchargements/XnView/xnview.sh
/home/bernard/Téléchargements/XnView/XnView: error while loading shared libraries: libgstapp-0.10.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So after a search, i've installed libgstreamer0.10-dev and libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
bernard@bernard:~$ sudo apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev

and miracle, XnView works!

Thanks for the help and a long life to XnView!
