Hi all

I've taken the plunge and clean installed Ubuntu 24.04 and am not trying to install the .deb as follows:

Looks like a load of 32 bit dependencies are no longer available. If anyone has any ideas how to work around this (and I can't use the flatpak as I need to use yabridge which the flatpak does not work with) then I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

Solved by enabling 32 bit libraries:

Code: Select all

dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update

The weird thing is why is it installing a 32 bit version on a 64 bit OS?
Bitwig, against the constitution.

Bitwig should perhaps clean up their dependencies.

and If we do the fresh (daily) Ubuntu.iso, going straight to the install instead of trying Ubuntu and install afterwards seems more stable, and Kubuntu could end up on a black screen after a reboot, not as ready as Ubuntu it seems.. but things could change fast since the release is so close :)
