lutris for Ubuntu 20.04 about lutris HOT 4 CLOSED

OK, I've done a bit of research. The lutris-team PPA seems to be abandoned- in spite of the name, I don't think that PPA ever actually came from the Lutris team as such. It has version 0.5.12, and that version depends on WebKit 4.1. but 0.5.13 weakened this requirement to 4.0 or 4.1.

So don't use the PPA. You should be able to use the deb file. Download it here; you want the latest version, 0.5.16.

Double clicking this file seems obvious but on Ubuntu, as I recall, this does not work- Ubuntu will weirdly try to install Lutris from its own repo if you do that, and I do not think that will work. Use this command at the terminal:

sudo apt install ~/Downloads/lutris_0.5.16_all.deb

I believe you need a path there, if you just have the plain filename it will go to the Ubuntu repo again. Of course you will need the correct path to the download file, that's just my guess in there.

Good luck!

That is curious; I wonder what version of Lutris Ubuntu 20.04 came with. My searches suggest maybe none at all?

Are you using a PPA to install Lutris? If so, it may just be too new for your Ubuntu version. You might upgrade to 22.04, the current LTS version.

Or can you get flatpak to work? That's a way you might get Lutris working.

There is no need to update to 22.04 or use the Flatpak version. Ubuntu 20.04 is a distribution we still officially support.

If you're installing the latest stable version, is has a dependency of gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 | gir1.2-webkit2-4.1.
gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 is the package present in Ubuntu 20.04. gir1.2-webkit2-4.1 is in later version.

Since you are hitting an error with gir1.2-webkit2-4.0, my guess is that you're trying to install an ancient, unsupported, deprecated version of Lutris.

danieljohnson2 Yes, my OS does not have lutris installed. Also, I was using PPA, so now I am trying to install lutris from another apt repository. After running sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:lutris-team/lutris, I tried sudo apt update && sudo apt install lutris, but now it says E: unable to locate package lutris. Is there another apt repository from which I can install lutris?
