I can’t get xojo to work. Used the ubuntu installer to install xojo but immediately get an error. I have used Xojo/Realbasic earlier on mac os but now trying to try it again on Linux… Does anyone have any experience of Xojo with KDE Neon… ?
I don’t use KDE, but check here for notes. Also better use X11 than Wayland. your distro supports X11?
https://documentation.xojo.com/resources/system_requirements_for_current_release.html
Unfortunately, I don’t know anything about UNBUNTU.
I use Arch Linux with GNOME. I’ve never tried KDE.
In my setup, I initially ran XOJO under X11, but now I’m running it under Wayland. Everything works perfectly.
Unfortunately, I can’t use an installer in Arch Linux, so I’m installing XOJO manually.
Installing XOJO (Example: XOJO Version 2024 R3):
sudo -s
cd /opt/xojo
tar -zxvf /home/<myUserName>/Downloads/xojo2024r3.tgz
cd xojo2024r3
mv 2024r3_63767.desktop /usr/share/applications/2024r3_63767.desktop
After that, there are a few more adjustments:
Then edit the desktop file: All the directories in this file have the suffix “_63767”. However, the new directory in “/opt/xojo” is named “xojo2024r3”, not “xojo2024r3_63767”.
Then set the correct icon: Replace the PNG file with “xojo.xpm”
Now all you have to do is copy the required plugins into the plugin folder. In this example, that would be “/opt/xojo/xojo2024r3/Plugins”.
You should now be able to use XOJO on Arch Linux.

It would be immensely helpful if you told everyone what the error was, instead of leaving us to guess.
My first thought was… did you install all of the prerequisites from the system requirements page?

On this page select the one for your distro ……ubuntu would be the “debian” one .
that is the one that I used with Linux Mint Xojo: Downloads
I tried reinstalling the .deb installer. Of course I do not totally know what I am doing, I started using CrossBasic long time ago, then it was renamed into RealBasic and then Xojo and then family happened 
… Now after many years I would like to try programming a bit on this linux computer (mac is outdated, at work Win11, at home I now prefer linux, so much nicer desktop experience and no ads, works perfect on my mini laptop which only supports win10 –> now better on linux).
I will try to figure out if I can get it to work but am quite time-limited (work + kids) and post here if I manage to get it running.
I am running KDE Neon which is based on Ubuntu LTS 24.04 (Xojo Linux requirements states “Linux (x86_64/ARM64) Current LTS versions of Ubuntu 20.04 or later”). When trying to start Xojo, I get the following error message:
Trying to click “Report Now” opens the same error message again and I get a message that the application has encountered an error. On clicking details I get the following:

Forgot to mention that I was using Wayland. I switched to X11 and get exactly the same error message on X11 (at least to me it looks identical to the error message I got on Wayland). Also trying to click the “Report Now” button gives the same error message again…

Just like on macOS, start Xojo from within a Terminal and you will see why it fails (in most cases).
I tried to launch it from the terminal but got the same error dialog and this output in the terminal. I am not much wiser now (and not an expert in linux)…
I am afraid only someone from xojo can solve this if it is an error within Xojo…? Of course it can be related to KDE Neon too
Thank you for everyone for your tips and answers!

Maybe there are missing libs? You can check this by doing a:
ldd ./Xojo | grep "not found"
If this does not help, make sure the most important libs are installed:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libgtk-3-0 libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 libsecret-1-0 libunwind8
If it still fails, start it using strace:
strace -o xojo_trace.txt ./Xojo
and then check the xojo_trace.txt file after the crash.

I tried the following:
sudo apt install libunwind8 – success
sudo apt install libsecret-1-0 – success
sudo apt install libgtk-3-0 – successFAIL:
sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree… Done
Reading state information… Done
Package libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another sourceE: Package ‘libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37’ has no installation candidate
RESOLVE:
edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list: add the line “deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy main”sudo apt update
sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37
Then I tried
./Xojo
and got the same error as ever: “This application has encountered a fatal problem and must be shut down…”
Then I tried (like recommended)
shr@minisforum-BD790i:/opt/xojo/xojo2026r1.2$ strace -o xojo_trace.txt ./Xojo
strace: Can't fopen 'xojo_trace.txt': Permission denied
…and I thought I never get it running. But then after a moment of thinking (without really knowing what I am doing I tried…
shr@minisforum-BD790i:/opt/xojo/xojo2026r1.2$ sudo strace -o xojo_trace.txt ./Xojo
And after entering the password…
So now I can get Xojo to start if I start it with sudo ./xojo but just ./xojo does not work. Should it be like that? Anyway, now I can start exploring a bit (but first have to go to sleep, wake up, go to work, be with kids, so story will be continued tomorrow).
Sorry for the long post but I tried to gather my steps here in case I have to do it again or someone else finds any help from my and other peoples replies. Thank you for everyone who was helping, I would not have got so far (to the splash screen!!!) without your help!!!

This clearly indicates that this is a permissions issue.
First, grant your user read and execute permissions for the entire folder:
sudo chmod -R 755 /opt/xojo/xojo2026r1.2/
Then correct the ownership of all hidden Xojo configuration folders in your home dir using the following command (replace [username] with your actual username):
sudo chown -R [username]:[username] ~/.Xojo ~/.config/Xojo ~/.cache/Xojo 2>/dev/null
During startup, Xojo makes heavy use of the systems temporary directory to unpack libraries. If any folders/files from your sudo launch are still there, they will block you.
Better delete them doing a:
sudo rm -rf /tmp/Xojo*
sudo rm -rf /tmp/com.xojo*
Now test it again as normal (non sudo) user.
Hello again, thank again for the advice. I guess the chown command should be like chown -R [username]:[groupname] …
Anyway, I still cannot start Xojo without doing “sudo ./Xojo”.
Maybe I have messed up my system. I will try to install it on my tablet computer or laptop (also KDE Neon) to see if I get it running properly there. Otherwise I just try to use it as superuser to see to be able to start doing what I really want to try to do (an app for myself helping calculate intraocular lens powers for cataract surgery, I am an eye doctor).
I will report my results here in case someone else is going to try Xojo…

Update: I installed KDE Neon on my tablet computer and installed Xojo on it and it works (at least starts and a small test app runs). However, this with this computer the IDE seems very slow and laggy (my son took the powerful computer to be a flight/racing sim). So maybe reinstalling the OS would resolve the problem on the other computer. Maybe I just have to get a faster computer to program on (but have no time)…
