Hello stevecook172001
I’m sorry to read you’re still having problems, all I can say is it’s still working for me so far on two different computers. I’m running Ubuntu (MATE) 16.04.1 LTS in both.
Maybe I’m doomed to lose kompozer at the next update or something but I have had kompozer working okay for years up to now.
Somehow I lost kompozer in my laptop for a while following an update and with the two computers side by side I could see the different version of libidl0 in synaptic package manager.
That’s why the commands given in the German Ubuntu users kompozer wiki made sense to me.
You don’t need to be able to understand German. The commands are that matters.
The commands given at the German Ubuntu users kompozer wiki are almost the same as given by our friend mated in the number 2 post in this thread.
I copied them off and pasted then in pluma one above the other to compare the differences.
In the German version, they do not include libidl0 in the list of packages we’re supposed to apt-get install in the first command.
Then later, both sets of instructions give you a different block of commands depending on whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit system.
The difference is in the German version, they include an extra download.
For the 64-bit system that’s this one here: wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libidl0_0.8.14-1_amd64.deb
Then they give the command for installing it: sudo dpkg -i libidl0_0.8.14-1_amd64.deb
The rest of the commands are the same as those given by our freind mated in the number 2 post in this thread.
In my case anyway, the solution was to remove llibildl-2-0 0.8.14-4 using synaptic package manager first.
Then install libidl0_0.8.14-1_amd64.deb instead, as per the German commands. Otherwise I kept getting a broken system.
There is also an option in Synaptic under the ‘Package’ menu to ‘lock version’, which I have now activated on libidl0_0.8.14-1
I’ll report back when mine stops working and hopefully it won’t be tomorrow.
Good luck with yours I hope you can get it working normally, I think it’s worth it, I use kompozer almost every day.
