[NFBCS] IPEVO Visualizer & Ubuntu Linux 23.10

[Alan K. Martinez]

Hello everyone,

I'm having some difficulty installing IPEVO Visualizer on Ubuntu 23.10.

I know IPEVO's site says Visualizer is only supported on 20.04 but I
was hoping with some help we can find a workaround to the installation
problem.

I'm still a little new to Linux so I don't know how to do some things
like look up available versions of software from the repositories, but
I'm comfortable with learning how to and navigating with the command
line.

Here is what happens for me.

I've downloaded the IPEVO Visualizer Debian package
Visualizer_linux_1.1.4.39.zip and and extracted the contents.

I navigated to the extracted directory and entered the following
command:

sudo apt install ./visualizer_1.1.4.39_all.deb

and received the following output:


WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in
scripts.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 visualizer : Depends: libopencv-core4.2 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


I tried the follwing command to install:

sudo dpkg -i visualizer_1.1.4.39_all.deb

and I receive the folliwing output which seems a little more
informative:

I tried sending IPEVO a support request a couple of weeks ago but they
have not responded in any way.  I may send a follow up request.

I thought I would try here in case someone might have more experience
with these issues.

Any help or information would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Alan
