An It-slave in the digital saltmine

At op5 we are using Webex as conferance tool. I’ve been struggeling to get it running on Ubuntu 9.04 and I have finally got it to work.

Just run:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
sudo apt-get install libstdc++5

and now it works perfectly well.

   Great info. I was able to add these packages using Synaptic package manager in one operation. Reboot was not needed. Had to refresh my meeting browser to get webex to start

   Package libstdc++5 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
   This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
   is only available from another source
   E: Package libstdc++5 has no installation candidate

   In ubuntu 9.10 the package name is libstdc++6.
   So try that instead.
   Webex works very well on my Ubuntu 9.10 installation.

   I do not understand, do you manage to install libstdc++6 or not?

   What version of Ubuntu do you have? 64 or 32 bit?

   Yes you need java aswell, but your problem description makes it impossible to help you. So I try to take it step by step.
