Hi -- Up to last week, I was using Krita in LinuxLite 2.2 on my Lenovo ThinkPad.
With the release of LL 2.4, I decided it was time to do a clean install and get rid of my Windows XP dual-boot. So I did, and now LL has my entire hard drive to itself. So far, so good.
Now I want to re-install Krita. In Synaptic Package Manager, 2.8.5 is the latest version listed. I'd like to install Krita 2.9, so I followed the Ubuntu steps on this page (adding the Kubuntu backports repository):
https://krita.org/download/krita-desktop/
When I launched Krita I get a "Critical Error: Essential application components could not be found", and the title screen behind it seems to say version 2.8.5.
I was hoping for Krita 2.9, so I found instructions on this page:
http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2015...ntu-14-04/
...where it says I should "install krita-2.9 krita-2.9-dbg". But when I do, it says it can't locate either of those resources.
I'd settle for a working copy of Krita 2.8, so I've also tried uninstalling the Krita packages with Synaptic, and re-installing with Synaptic, and I still get the Critical Error when I try to run it.
I feel stuck. I'd sure appreciate any help! Thanks.
