I am having issues installing dependencies for the leapmotion driver on the Ubuntu 14.04. I tried several suggestions but nothing worked. My initial question was regarding how to ignore the dependencies but I was advised not to do that. So, I tried installing the dependencies again but I am still running into the same issues.

Here is the image of my terminal!

  • Start from the beginning. What is your problem, and what are you trying to do to solve it? [Edit] your question, and update it with more information. – vidarlo Dec 29 '17 at 17:53
  • I wondered if you had read the support page from Leap Motion https://support.leapmotion.com/hc/en-us/articles/223782608-Linux-Installation – pdc Dec 29 '17 at 18:10
  • and if one googles one gets https://askubuntu.com/questions/588024/steam-install-error-on-14-04-ubuntu-64bit from this forum – pdc Dec 29 '17 at 18:15
  • @pdc yeah, i tried the leapMotion forums but all i ultimately got was to ignore the dependencies but i am trying to ignore that if at all possible – Катя Dec 29 '17 at 18:18
  • @pdc i already tried those options, but thanks for spending the time and trying to help me find a solution. – Катя Dec 29 '17 at 18:25

    You will break your system using the `xenial` repository . – GAD3R Dec 29 '17 at 19:13

    Could you please post text files, dialogue messages, and program output listings as text, not as images? To achieve the latter two you can either 1) select, copy & paste the dialogue text or terminal content or 2) [save the program output to a file](//askubuntu.com/q/420981/175814) and use that. Longer listings (the editor will tell you what's too long) should be uploaded to a [pastie service](https://paste.ubuntu.com/) and linked to in the question. Thanks. – David Foerster Dec 31 '17 at 17:52

    @GAD3R: The mesa packages from Xenial were back-ported to Trusty with one of the LTS upgrades and appear in the official repositories for Trusty. – David Foerster Dec 31 '17 at 17:55

Since you're using a Trusty installation with a graphics stack back-ported from Xenial (as is the case in all fully updated Trusty LTS installation) you need to install the backported versions of the packages:

sudo apt install -f libgl1-mesa-{dri,glx}-lts-xenial
