I'm looking to add a linux client to my Ghosts setup, got a Win10 working fine thanks to you help but this Ubuntu setup doesn't want to play along.

Running the client .dll file it starts and connects then just halts and never progresses. Nothing Indicating any errors in the log files either. Also tried on a Rocky 8 box and get the same thing.

Are there issues with Ubuntu?

Could not reproduce in testing for v8.1.0, assume fixed.

So, I've been tracking this one for a while, and I'm not sure its any code issue.

Rather, I see this as being an Ubuntu/snap specific thing.

The fix:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libgtk-3-0

Also add these if still broken:

sudo apt install libdbus-glib-1-2 libxt6 libx11-xcb1

and in ./config/application.json change:

"FirefoxInstallLocation" : "/usr/bin/firefox"

to account for snap installed fox. You'll also need to match up the geckodriver version with the version of FF installed. I suggest running geckodriver directly via geckodriver --version just to make sure it is good to go.
