While many of us disagree with Flatpak and its principles, if it is what serves you best right now. With all those dependencies, no guarantees that it may not break something.Īnd really, going all the way up to the Hirsute Hippo Unstable version is kind of risky. IF this step is not done, you will break Zorin OS on the very next update. If successful, go back into Software & UpdatesĪnd click REMOVE. Open Software & Updates from your app menu.Ĭlick Add Source and enter your password. As I said above, I am not sure about the kernel requirements for what you are trying to do.

What would happen if you temporarily added the Hirsute Ubuntu Main Repository? But we are also not out of tricks, just yet.Īs Hirsute Hippo Repo contains this stuff. I am sorry my method above failed you with a dependency hell. While this is not necessarily helpful in this immediate case it does highlight that installing a large number of dependencies can be done very easily. The -y tag will grab all the dependencies, fifty or ten or one hundred, in a normal installation. Plus, the Latest Unstable Okular MAY demand a higher kernel, too. So, take the above suggestion with a grain of salt. I did not want to test that this all works by installing it on my Z16. The latest Okular (21.04) is the Latest Unstable Version listed for Hirsute Hippo.

It will warn that an older version is available. Installing from source may look daunting at first glance, but really is very easy. I agree with FrenchPress's advice, though. In case you do not want to follow FrenchPress's advice, you can also try the below method. Is there a better way to force users into accepting Snap and Flatpak? The flatpak version ran just fine (I used it on Z15.3), so I don't know why the Ubuntu repositories serve such outdated packages for Ubuntu 20.04.
