kolourPaint download [SOLVED]

[chazb]

Lm17 Quana, Cinamon

I had this program for a long while and then i dickered with Home folder in anticipation of 18/3, and now the program wont open. So I delete it to re-install it.. I have tried to install it graphically and using the command line, not at the same time, but in either case the program won't open. It is a KDE program, but I would think it would still work in a Gnome environment, as it has in the past.
Can anyone help me with this?

the program KolourPaint should be available to install in Package Manager AKA synaptic.

is it installable with that ? does it create an Menu Tree link ?.
can you run that KolourPaint from Terminal ?.

Via Terminal

Code: Select all

rm $HOME/.kde/share/config/kolourpaintrc
apt install kolourpaint4

[chazb]

Via Terminal

Code: Select all

rm $HOME/.kde/share/config/kolourpaintrc
apt install kolourpaint4

Tried synaptic and treid your code, I click it and nothing happens. It is like somewhere deep in the system some sub-routeen is keeping it from opening.

I didn't know I could do that, I learn something new everyday. But here is the result,,,,,,

Code: Select all

charles@charles-Inspiron-1526 ~ $ kolourpaint
kolourpaint: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libattica.so.0.4: invalid ELF header

Also,,,,,,

Code: Select all

charles@charles-Inspiron-1526 ~ $ dpkg -L libattica-dev
dpkg-query: package 'libattica-dev' is not installed
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.

What is an ELF header, is it something I can access on my computer?
So I looked at the result and went poking around on the net and found that found a site that shows me how to install libattica-dev as I apparently don't have it. But I am not sure this would solved the problem.
I just noticed though when I originally acquired KolourPaint, I was using an Inspiron 1526, and now I am using an Inspiron 1525, but I have also discovered that LinuxMint doesn't seem to be architecture dependent. Unlike Microsoft.

First, I want to Thank You. this fixed the problem.

Second, I want to pick your brain, i.e. understand your thinking. Earlier in this thread I installed Libatica-dev which I assumed contained what i needed of Libetica, but apparently not. What was your thinking that caused you to instruct me to, reinstall, Libatica0,4.

Third, Is there a Option I can use with kolourpaint in the terminal to show the correct path, string, etc. for opening the file? I had a similar with Thunderbird not opening on another thread. I didn't know at the time the time that I could just type "Thunderbird" in terminal and see why it wasn't opening. Knowing the correct path for opening a file would be useful, to know. I finally got to the point that i uninstalled Thunderbird and installed it again, and it worked, not knowing that all had to do is "reinstalled" it, saving a lot of time and head ache. This has been a very useful thread for learning.

I will mark the thread solvede when I get your reply

Just one remark:
I have Mint 17.3 Xfce and installed "kolourpaint " by "synaptic " directly from the official Mint repositories.
https://i.imgur.com/Pjn3SJv.png
In "Xfce " It is recommended that in "session and Startup " you enable "Launch KDE services when starting ".
In "Cinamon " There must be something like that.

S I have Upgraded to LM 18.3 Sylvia, Xfce.
Used synaptic to install Kolourpaint, but I couldn't find the Icon any wear so I imported the Icon from LM 17 and it will load but when I click it, though gives me a warning that it is untrusted softwear and three options to; load anyway, make executable, or close. How do I get the system to trust the software?

Load anyway once, so it should be trusted.
