EKMDash - Lubuntu 13.04 'HTMLViewerException' has occured'

[Tradie]

Hi,

When I run the linux app this error appears, the program still reads the meter and uploads to wattvision. However the dashboard does not function.


Running lubuntu 13.04, should anyone know what this error is or how to remove I'd be forever grateful!

Thanks
-Trev

My output from terminal is:

Hello Tradie, welcome to the forum.

Please try installing WebKit and GtkHTML on your Lubuntu Linux machine. This is needed for Linux machines to be able to view the graphs. I do not know much about Lubuntu but would guess that these do not come pre-installed.

Thanks,

Many thanks for the reply my friend! I now understand why EKMDash doesn't work for LXDE, can I question why the developers only targeted that specific toolkit to embrace Linux? Personally I'm no developer but I love to asks questions

I shall test post results for other Lubuntu / LXDE Users!

Hello Tradie,

Were you able to download WebKit and GtkHTML to your Lubuntu Linux machine? As far as I know the only piece of the EKM Dash that uses these tools is the graphing from High Charts. So I would guess the Webkit dependency is something that High Charts has built into it.

Let us know if you are able to get it working.

Thanks,

Many thanks for the response,

I was unable to find the correct library's

We ran your questions by our developers of the Dash software. Here is what they got back to us with:

If the user has a choice, it is best to use a 32-bit version of Linux because Xojo creates 32-bit executable files for Linux.
However, if they are using a 64-bit version of linux then they need to make sure they are installing the 32-bit library (in this case web kit).
Here is a command that should help:
sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0.0:i386

They are working to make the Dash installation cleaner and user friendly for users in your situation. Let us know how it goes.

Regards,
