Fanzy Zones install on ubuntu 24.04 does not work

[JohnyRicio]

When I try to install fancy zones than this error is returned.
Looks like that some prerequisities missing in doc or in app install process.
Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
Linux 6.8.0-41-generic
Gnome version 46

@JohnyRicio I couldn’t replicate the issue exactly, but I did manage to get the package installed on Ubuntu 24.04 after some trial and error (and a little sulking). Here’s the adventure I embarked on:

1. I followed the README instructions to install Flutter and Dart, only to be greeted with this lovely error message:

   make run-debug
   flutter run -d linux
   # The current Dart SDK version is 2.18.4.
   # Because linuxpowertoys requires SDK version >=3.0.5 <4.0.0, version solving failed.

2. I figured, “Hey, let’s check the Dart version.” So I did:

   dart --version
   # Dart SDK version: 3.5.3 (stable)

   Great! My version was higher than 3.0.5, but apparently, that wasn’t enough for it to play nice. So, here’s what I did next:

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt upgrade
   sudo apt install curl git unzip xz-utils libglu1-mesa clang cmake ninja-build pkg-config libgtk-3-dev

3. Downloaded Flutter (because what’s better than another download, right?):

   cd ~
   curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/flutter_infra_release/releases/stable/linux/flutter_linux_3.3.8-stable.tar.xz
   tar xf flutter_linux_3.3.8-stable.tar.xz
   echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/flutter/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc
   source ~/.bashrc

4. Rechecked Dart version (yes, I know, again):

   flutter channel stable
   flutter upgrade
   dart --version

5. Cloned the repo and finally gave it another go:

   git clone [email protected]:domferr/Linux-PowerToys.git
   cd Linux-PowerToys/
   make run-debug

6. Then I followed the instructions to install FancyZones, as a final act of faith.

And that’s how I got it up and running!
