#299 Ubuntu 17.10 Vte.so issue

[Garyx]

Starting with Ubuntu 17.04 the Vte.so file needed to be manually created as the one that ships with PAC does not work.

I followed the same procedure now in the beta version of Ubuntu 17.10 and the same procedure done in 17.04 does not seem to work.
https://sourceforge.net/p/pacmanager/bugs/293/

Anyone here been able to get it to work on the new upcoming Ubuntu 17.10 update?

[Golgot]

The procedure worked for me.
This is all I have done :

sudo apt install libglib2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev libvte-dev libvte-2.91-dev dh-make-perl libgtk2.0-dev 
cpan -i ExtUtils::Depends
cpan -i ExtUtils::PkgConfig
dh-make-perl --cpan Gnome2::Vte --build
sudo dpkg -i libgnome2-vte*.deb
sudo find /opt/pac/ -name "Vte.so*" -exec rm {} +

Pac, and ssh connection are working now.

This worked for me (openSUSE Leap 42.2 x86_64): https://sourceforge.net/p/pacmanager/bugs/286/#6684
I attach here the Vte.so that is working on my system, just replace (backup first!) your with this one.

[Murathan BOSTANCI]

Hello,
Thank you for your interest.

Unfortunately, it didn't work.

[ArsNatura]

Golgot's solution works for me, but I had to execute "dh-make-perl --cpan Gnome2::Vte --build" as root (not worked with sudo).

[Murathan BOSTANCI]

problem caused by "upgraded ubuntu 17.10"
I install cleanly Ubuntu 17.10
my history :
apt install libglib2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev libvte-dev libvte-2.91-dev dh-make-perl libgtk2.0-dev
cpan -i ExtUtils::Depends
cpan -i ExtUtils::PkgConfig
dh-make-perl --cpan Gnome2::Vte --build
dpkg -i libgnome2-vte-perl_0.11-1_amd64.deb libgnome2-vte-perl-dbgsym_0.11-1_amd64.ddeb
find /opt/pac/ -name "Vte.so*" -exec rm {} +

[K. Burak Özdemir]

Golgot's solution worked for me (ubuntu 17.10.1). thanks.

[banuj]

For Ubuntu 18.04 you can install the deb for vte from here: libgnome2-vte-perl

Another solution is to add asbru-cm repository and install package from it:

curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/asbru-cm/asbru-cm/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install libgnome2-vte-perl

[NTBlade]

Thanks, banuj this helped me with Mint 19
