Möbius 2.5

Unsupported Operating Systems

Due to limited resources, the Möbius team focuses development efforts on the most recent versions of our three supported platforms (Mac, Ubuntu, Windows). However, Möbius is able to run on most machines with some tweaking here and there. The installation instructions below are community driven and very likely to work. However, the Möbius team cannot guarantee that they work. Try at your own risk and please contribute the installation methods you figure out!

Möbius 2.4

Ubuntu 13.10

64-bit

1. Download the Mobius DEB file from the Ubuntu 12.10 - 64 bit page at [1]
2. The Ubuntu software center doesn't like the package, but you can install it at the command line by doing:

   $ sudo dpkg -i mobius_2.4_amd64.deb
   

3. After installing it like this, apt is going to complain that mobius depends on ia32-libs, but that package has been removed for the 13.10 release. It may also complain that mobius depends on openjdk-6-jdk, but a more up-to-date OpenJDK package (openjdk-7-jdk) is installed in 13.10 instead. Edit /var/lib/dpkg/status and find the section with information on the mobius package. Remove ", ia32-libs" from the Depends list, and replace "openjdk-6-jdk" in the Depends list with "openjdk-7-jdk".
4. Mobius should now be in your Dash.

Known Issues

If you notice that the application menus in Mobius don't appear to be working, this is a Unity/Java issue. Here's how you can resolve it:

1. Close Mobius.
2. Edit the file /usr/share/applications/mobius.desktop
3. Find the line that reads Exec=/usr/bin/mobius
4. Change that line to read Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 /usr/bin/mobius
