Failed installation of Wappler on Ubuntu 24

[vit]

Hi, I've reinstalled the operating system several times, including installing Wappler. Now my installation is not working anymore. I get this error : E: Failed to fetch file owned by user root, as the file /home/vit/Downloads/wappler_6.8.0-1_amd64.deb is not accessible: Access denied to user "_apt" - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied),

Please advise what the problem is.
I have Ubuntu

Hello and welcome to the community
Seems like a permission thing, like _apt has not enough rights

What about running:
chmod 644 /home/vit/downloads/wappler_6.8.0-1_amd64.deb

Don't know if it's like that, @Cheese is the expert here

Why are you using root as a User account? Or maybe you were using root when you installed?

Try installing Wappler as the User you would normally use. First remove the old copy:

sudo dpkg -r wappler

That should remove it. Then just download it again to the Downloads directory. Right click on the file and select 'Open with Software Install', or maybe double click, or you can right click in the Downloads directory and Open in Terminal type/paste:

sudo dpkg -i wappler_6.8.0-1_amd64.deb

See if any of the above help?

Sorry been offline for a few hours..

chmod 644 /home/vit/downloads/wappler_6.8.0-1_amd64.deb

Hi, the installation according to your instructions went without error messages, but Wappler won't start. Could the problem be that I have installed and uninstalled it many times? Isn't the startup somehow blocked? Only one installation is visible in the dashboard.

Thank you for your advice.

Are you on Ubuntu 24?

Then check this topic:

Yes, I have Ubuntu 24.10 installed
I have installed Wappler 7 beta and there is no problem with startup

[George]

Yes in the latest Wappler 7 beta the problem is resolved, just in the last stable Wappler 6.8 a manual fixing is needed to run on Ubuntu 24

I just started with Wappler 2 months ago and I like version 7. I'm just puzzled by what's wrong with installing Ubuntu and running version 6. I've tried both versions, but I'll stick with 7.
Thank you so much for your help and I admire how helpful and supportive the Wappler community is.
