I am attempting an install of the f@h client on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I downloaded the folder and used software install GUI initially.
Error message provided does not contain any information.

Message:
Sorry, this did not work
Installation of fahclient failed
Details
Detailed errors from the package manager follow:
apt transaction returned result exit - false

Below traceback when attempting install from command line:
neil/tmp/mozilla_neil0$ sudo dpkg -i --force-depends fahclient_7.5.1_amd64.deb
[sudo] password for neil:

I'm no help with the specific error your getting. Give this a read to see if you're maybe missing some dependencies.

Try running this and then retry the install

Code: Select all

sudo update-rc.d FAHClient defaults
