Hello,
I’ve order a Kompakt (global). I’m trying to download mudita center for linux (ubuntu). Download is ok, but once the muditacenter AppImage is on the desktop, it won’t open or install if click on it… Any idea ?

@philmonge Sorry that you’re experiencing problems. As I’m not a Linux user (I’m a Windows girlie) I’ve pinged the CENTER team about your issue. Hold tight :slight_smile: Someone will help you resolve this.

@philmonge Here’s some pointers from a Mudita Center colleague:

  1. Right-click on the downloaded .appimage file and select Properties.
  2. Go to the Permissions tab and check the box that says “Allow executing file as program”.

Thanks a lot.
It’s still not opening, but I had an “agree form”… It’s an improvment. Mayebe if I don’t have the phone connected it’s not working… I’ll see when I’ll receive the kompakt.
If it’s not working then, I’ll contact thé support team…
Best regards,
Philippe

@philmonge Have you tried installing the file using your package installer? For each linux distro there is usually a package installer.

Also be sure to “sudo apt update”
And “sudo apt upgrade”

Before trying again.

@philmonge Can you be more specific when you say “it’s not working.” If the device isn’t connected, you should only see the welcome screen — the “agree form” pops up only during the first launch. Our Mudita Center expert said that for Linux , running sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade — it’s pretty standard on Linux. Whether or not you’re using Mudita Center, it’s always good to keep packages updated.

Let me know if this helps.

Hello,

I have downloaded the mudita center appImage. Moved the “executable as a program” in propriety. I have done the sudo update and upgrade in the terminal… but nothing happens when I click on the icon of the program. Even a right click and “open” is not working. Nothing happens at all…
I have a question : can I use the mudita kompakt without the mudita center ? Is there another way to upload phone numbers and music in it ?
And is there others linux users that can open mudita center ?
Thank you very much,

@philmonge I’ve reached out to our team about this because I’m really not familiar with Linux, so I need some expert help from our techs :slight_smile: Stay tuned. Help is coming.

Version of Ubuntu may help.

Thanks, but I’m not sure to understand what you mean by “version”…

I use Pop!_OS, which is a fork or variation of Ubuntu. After I downloaded the Linux version of Mudita Center (in my case, to a folder that I named “AppIm-ages”), I made it ‘clickable’ through another app called Gear Lever. You can read more about Gear Lever here:
