Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Hello,

I am currently testing linux mint cinnamon 17.1 + tvpaint 10 (from the cd) to see how this works.

Unfortunately i ma simply stuck at the first phase: installing tvpaint... it seem a dependency is missing even after I installed it with the synaptic package manager it still gives me the error Maybe this version of tvpaint is too old?

Do you have the same problem when installing the TVPaint 10.5 demo downloaded from the website ?

It might be a broken package in the dependency chain. As far as I can tell, TVPaint doesn't directly depend on that library, although something else TVPaint depends on probably does:

$ dpkg -I "TVPaint Animation 10.5.5.11673s Pro (64).deb"
new debian package, version 2.0.

This worked! Thanks! I downloaded the latest version 10.5.7 for linux and it now works perfectly.

Unfortunately linux didnt want to work with my wacom cintiq 13hd so I gave up linux and went back to windows.....a sad day for linux

Awwww, don't give up yet, Wacom tablets work quite well on Linux. I've used everything from Bamboo to Intuous to Cintiq on Ubuntu Studio. Here are some details on getting the 13HD to work on Linux (it focuses on Ubuntu Studio 14.04, but Linux Mint should be very similar):

THanks for the link.

Yeah it's a shame

but truthfully the other reason is that from time to time I need to use adobe flash or after effects. Having a partitioned hard disk would be a solution but it is simpler to work on one system. It is really strange to see that every other animation software has a linux version BUT adobe.
