Iron won't start on Ubuntu 13.04

Post by Stray »

Hey All,

I just upgraded my Ubuntu 12.04 to 13.04 and now Iron won't start up. Is it going to have to be upgraded for 13.04?

Thanks,
Mark

Same here. The Iron 25 (64-bit) won't start up on my Ubuntu 13.04. It worked perfectly on 12.10.
Hope they're working on the new release for linux.

Hi,
I've got the same problem. It would be nice if you could make SRWare Iron work under Ubuntu 13.04!

Thanks,

I had the same problem. Now I have a solution.

After starting ./iron in /usr/share/iron the message given was that libXss.so.1 was missing. I found the file via apt-file in the package libxss1.

So, just install libxss1.

For the lazy people:
1. Open up a terminal.
2. Get your apt-get up to date via

Code: Select all

sudo apt get update
3. Enter

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libxss1
and press Enter.

If Iron still does not start you also need to install udev0 like xdron posted:

Code: Select all

wget -c www.mirrorservice.org/sites/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu//pool/main/u/udev/libudev0_175-0ubuntu13_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libudev0*.deb
Now you can either use iron if you already installed it or install iron from srware:

Code: Select all

wget http://www.srware.net/downloads/iron.deb
sudo dpkg -i iron.deb
Cheers.
