[Post-Install] Can't run graphic shell scripts

[pavel]

I have installed Kubuntu 26.04 minimal edition on two machines. On one computer graphic shell scripts (installers for games from GOG) don't work. Yes, I have made them executable. Nothing happens when I click them. No error message, no crash. They run in terminal mode (Right click -> Run in terminal) but just in terminal mode, not as usual graphic installers. Once installed the games run OK. Since I made a minimal install of Kubuntu I suspect there may be some missing dependencies. But the scripts run OK on my other computer, also with a minimal install of Kubuntu. Strange...

sudo apt install zenity kdialog xterm

log out / in

sudo apt install zenity kdialog xterm

log out / in

Nope, no graphics.

[die.boer]

run

bash -x ./installer.sh

(replace installer.sh with the actual GOG installer filename)
you can find it with ls *.sh inside the folder containing the installer.
should look something like this setup_witcher_3_4.04_(64bit)_(gog).sh
and post output please

install these and try again ?

sudo apt install libgtk2.0-0 libcanberra-gtk-module libcanberra-gtk3-module libxss1 libnss3 libxtst6 libglu1-mesa mesa-utils

and

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt update && sudo apt install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libx11-6:i386

[pavel]

install these and try again ?

sudo apt install libgtk2.0-0 libcanberra-gtk-module libcanberra-gtk3-module libxss1 libnss3 libxtst6 libglu1-mesa mesa-utils

Did the trick. Except for there is no libcanberra-gtk-module. Now the install scripts run as supposed to do and the games run after installation. I wait with the second command until I install some old i386 games. I try to keep just an amd-64 architecture on this computer. Thank you very much!

I wait with the second command until I install some old i386 games

yup that makes sense , as things are working ok now .
as for the

no libcanberra-gtk-module

, that's fine , as it might have been replaced/merged into: libcanberra-gtk3-module , or pulled indirectly via other GTK packages.

happy gaming !
