Hi Folks,

just upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04.

1) Lazarus was removed during upgrade???!?!?!?
2) Ok, let's reinstall using Synaptic. Version 1.8.2+dfsg-3
3) Let's start Lazarus. --> Configure the IDE:
usr/share/lazarus/1.8.2/ --> Error: directory not found!?!?!?!?

OK, what did i do wrong, and how to fix it?

Thx

OK, removed everything in Synaptic, and did a sudo dpkg -i fpc, fpc-
src, lazarus, and i'm back again.

Something wrong with this "new" Versions?

OK, managed the "Update".
Did a manual "backup" of usr/share/lazarus
removed everything.
in Synaptic installed first FPC incl. Source, then Lazarus Version
1.8.2+dfsg-3

Result: The Directory in /usr/share still missing.
Copied it with sudo back, chown_ed it to root, and now it runs.

But this looks like a bug to me.

Same here. Xubuntu 18.04. First installed FPC and Lazarus from
downloaded .deb files. Software Updater removed Lazarus when it
updated FPC. Got it back by installing the Ubuntu package using "apt
install".

I didn't get this error.

I did encounter the missing lazcontroldgsn problem and got past it by
using the method described here https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/i
ndex.php/topic,38728.msg274830.html#msg274830.

Then, tried building an fpCEF sample application. Blew up with
TApplication.HandleException Access violation.

Xubuntu 18.04 64bit, using FPC and Lazarus packaged with Ubuntu.

I have just done an install using the debs from
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/releases/Lazarus Linux amd64
DEB/Lazarus 1.8.2 and have seen no such problems. Perhaps that
indicates its a packaging problem at the Ubuntu end rather than with
Lazarus itself.

I am wondering if you has 1.8.2 on before you upgraded to U18.04 ?  If
so, was that an Ubuntu one ?

No, it was a dpkg-ed FPC3.0.4/Lazarus1.8.2 deb from FPC/Lazarus-

Yep, thought that had to be the case. Wonder how that works ?  During
the upgrade, the installer would not know where to get or find these
(FPC and Lazarus) packages to reinstall them so, you (and I) expect it
to leave them in place while it removes and replaces everything else.
Not a process I have ever thought about.....
