How to run Total Phase Data Center on Ubuntu Linux 18.04
On fresh install of Ubuntu Linux 18.04 you may see this message when you start the Data Center:
data center "error: unable to execute application"
This message should be in top 10 of most useful error messages.
'strace' said that the executable wanted to load libpng.so and gstreamer-0.10.so. This libraries do not exists in Ubuntu 18.04, therefore some old sources should be added to the list of APT.
# Add to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security multiverse
deb http://hu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main restricted universe multiverse
Then install the missing libraries:
sudo apt install libpng12-0
sudo apt install libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0
After that you should be able to run Data Center.
