Fedora 27 - webkitgtk no longer supported

[AGuerra]

Hello Jamey

Really I put the execution using the terminal because using the desktop icon the application isn't opened too.

I make the test with the terminal trying to know what's the error that avoid the app opening.

The cat shows me exactly same info that you wrote in your post.

Any other idea?

Thanks in advance

Alberto

Do you see any dependency issues or complaints when running the dependency install script?

sudo /usr/local/pulse/PulseClient_x86_64.sh install_dependency_packages

Only thing I can think of at the moment.

the icon is still not working 
and the command line is complaining about a missing dependency

./pulseUi
./pulseUi: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

For what it's worth, the newest version of the client (5.3R4.0) doesn't work, either, given that it has the same dependency.   --Jeff

@isbenj try also installing this webkitgtk. 

webkitgtk-2.4.11-5.fc26.x86_64.rpm

installation of xulrunner goes fine.

rpm -ivh webkitgtk-2.4.11-5.fc26.x86_64.rpm

 Oh! never mind, my bad, Thats what I tried first. This makes things a little weird. Instead, on Page one of this Post. Find the 5 step instructional on how to get the required Libraries needed from webkitgtk. That will do it for you.

[jamey]

@kita are we aware of any progress for this yet, we did find a pretty harsh work around to make it work as you can follow along in this post. But a true Install that just works would still be great!

[isbenj]

i uninstalled my current version and reinstalled . after the 5 steps completed, i'am able to run the UI.
thanks

Hi, @kita This issue has been going for a reasonable amount of time now. We have figured out a work around. I hope those who need it due find this post and understand it with ease. What is the current status of an official fixed though?

[kita]

@jamey Thank you for your continued feedback. We have been working on a permanent fix for Fedora 27 and the webkit issue. We should have more details upcoming major release. I can update this thread in the coming weeks once everything is confirmed.

[AGuerra]

Thanks @kita,

Do you have any update about the new Release? Or that Release is the deployment of Fedora 28?
