Ubuntu 13.10
64-bit
- Download the Mobius DEB file from the Ubuntu 12.10 - 64 bit page at [1]
- 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
- 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 it may be the case that you have an up-to-date OpenJDK package (openjdk-7-jdk) installed instead. Edit /var/lib/dpkg/status and find the section with information on the mobius package. Remove ", ia32-libs" from the Depends list, and, if you prefer openjdk-7-jdk over openjdk-6-jdk, replace "openjdk-6-jdk" in the Depends list with "openjdk-7-jdk".
- 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:
- Close Mobius.
- Edit the file /usr/share/applications/mobius.desktop
- Find the line that reads Exec=/usr/bin/mobius
- Change that line to read Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 /usr/bin/mobius
