I read that ubuntu 18.04 is supported by activdriver:

here: https://support.prometheanworld.com/activdriver-system-requirements
and here: http://activinspire.s3.amazonaws.com/support/ACTIVdriver%20ReadMe.txt
and here: https://support.prometheanworld.com/

But I cannot find any download option!

How do I install it?

Article 1623 from our support website will give directions on installing the software in Linux through Terminal and Synaptic in the operating system.

While the directions specify ‘Xenial’, swapping that for ‘Bionic’ should provide the appropriate files for 18.04 LTS.

Hi,

thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it does not work for me.

With
deb http://activsoftware.co.uk/linux/repos/driver/ubuntu bionic oss non-oss
in my sources.list I get:

E: Failed to fetch http://activsoftware.co.uk/linux/repos/driver/ubuntu/dists/bionic/InRelease 403 Forbidden [IP: 99.84.151.104 80]
E: The repository ‘http://activsoftware.co.uk/linux/repos/driver/ubuntu bionic InRelease’ is not signed.
N: Updating from such a repository can’t be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

with
deb [trusted=yes] http://activsoftware.co.uk/linux/repos/driver/ubuntu bionic oss non-oss
I get

E: Failed to fetch http://activsoftware.co.uk/linux/repos/driver/ubuntu/dists/bionic/oss/binary-amd64/Packages 403 Forbidden [IP: 99.84.151.84 80]

It looks like we have had some issues with the repository for the ActivDriver for 18.04 LTS recently.

 

I’ll Send a Private Message to you with some more information about getting the updated Driver for that OS.  Anyone else experiencing some thing similar when trying to use the instructions on our support article to install the latest ActivDriver for Ubunto 18.04 LTS should contact support for assistance until we have the repository updated properly.

As a workaround, you can download the package directly using this link unti the repo is fixed:
