Mega desktop apps dependencies on Zorin 16

General Help
24

It would be better if it was not sneaky.
It's integrated into APT in terminal and into Software Store without Warning or notification.

The ZorinGroup proactively added a Source button on the top. This helps, but many need to really know all about it for it to really be useful.

I removed program

after I open megasync ubuntu 20.04.deb with Gdebi but it comes the error that i have at first time... Error: the dipendencies cannot be satisfied: Megasync

You are trying to install Nautilus integration first.
You must install Mega desktop app before this one.
megasync-xUbuntu_20.04_amd64.deb <---This!

yes i've tried all 2 methods

Please look at the file name:
It says nautilus-megasync
You cannot install it till you install

megasync-xUbuntu_20.04_amd64.deb

Can you see those files in your Downloads directory?

You need both.
Please install the lower deb file first.

@Fatez94 do it the long way (and it's already taken up a lot of time)

Only install megasync-xUbuntu_20.04_amd64.deb first.

Then go back and install nautilus-megasync

You spotted and notified that it was a Flatpak.

If you ONLY install FlatPak, that would be OK.
But you also tried to install Nautilus integration (which is available in .deb only).

FlatPak and SNAP is running in a so-called sandbox environment for security reasons. Did you notice that you did not need sudo to install/uninstall FlatPak app?

The problem is that Nautilus integration app needs to have dependency files from Mega desktop app. Due to its sandbox nature, FlatPak would not allow the Nautilus installer to access those dependency files. Hence you saw the error message during the installation.

@Aravisian
Does the explanation I gave above look OK to you?

I think our life was much much simpler before EFI BIOS + secureboot and FlatPak + SNAP.

Looks fine to me.

You know... These developers putting their packages out as Snaps or Flatpaks should very well know about the dependency problem they are creating...
