Hi.
This should not be an issue. Are you trying to download the Community edition?

For the Community Edition (the one with the Green logo) just click on
"Skip this step"

Re: unable to get passed first screen
This is very odd as on Xubuntu 20.04.3 I have had no
problem with installs at all.

Re: unable to get passed first screen
Hi.
Do you have access to any other computer, even one you might borrow for a few minutes, and try to access the download from there? I assume this will work, and we can isolate the issue to the particular OS you are using.

Re: unable to get passed first screen
hello craig,
most kind of you.
but i have all the troubles in the world removing it now.
i think you can close this thread.
i definitively want to get rid of this app.
opening a "remove livecode from ubuntu" thread, if you can help, i'd be grateful
thanks for your help

Re: unable to get passed first screen
Something a bit odd going on . . .
First the OP is unable to install LiveCode and then he is trying to delete it.
Logically this means he somehow managed to install LC but has not bothered to tell how.
And why, forbye, having made such a skammosh about installing the thing, having achieved it, does he
want to delete it straight away?

Richmond.
It does seem odd on the face of it.
So, Mr. er, Mr., f you are really legitimate, can you say exactly what is going on?

Re: unable to get passed first screen
hello again
i assure you i'm legitimate
the thing is i just have troubles using the app. in fact simply starting it.
i think it's been installed alright: i see a repository with lots of files in /.rev
but oddly, it just refused to start. to be precise it didn't go beyond the first window i put earlier.
unable to do much with this, i tried to uninstal it.
i had just had the worst day of the last month.
i had to remove another repository called livecode in /opt, manually
here it is, plain and simple
if you think i did something wrong please elaborate. i'd be glad to try and install it provided it worked

@Mr.
OK, good.
You are the only person who has ever reported anything like this. Did you try on another machine? I want to know if it is something particular about your computer or OS, as opposed to the method you are using to try to download the program.

Re: unable to get passed first screen
Is it possible that the newly announced end-of-life for LC community is causing the failure?

Re: unable to get passed first screen
End-of-life?
Does that mean that currently installed versions will stop working?

No, Kevin states that all still will be fine, but no new versions will be forthcoming.

Re: unable to get passed first screen
And ALL community downloads have now vanished.
A very cheap trick indeed.
