How to install esteid software on Tuxedo OS¶
Friday, September 20, 2024
I want to install the Estonian eid software (“DigiDoc client”) on my notebook, but the install script says:
$ sh install-open-eid.sh
tuxedo is not supported
All other Linux software installed nicely on my Tuxedo notebook from
.deb packages because Tuxedo OS is actually just an optimized Ubuntu.
More exactly it’s an Ubuntu 22.04, codename “jammy”:
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Tuxedo
Description: TUXEDO OS 3
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy
Here is what I did.
Modify the install script:
$ nano install-open-eid.sh
Find the place where it says:
case $distro in
debian)
...
ubuntu|neon|zorin)
...
linuxmint)
Change the case “ubuntu|neon|zorin)” into:
ubuntu|neon|zorin|tuxedo)
For normal people this would probably have worked. But I am a Belgian, and this caused a little problem. It seems that the Belgian eid software conflicts with the Estonian one:
$ sh install-open-eid.sh

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
libbeidpkcs11-0 : Conflicts: opensc-pkcs11 but 0.22.0-1ubuntu2 is to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
So I uninstalled the Belgian eid software:
sudo apt remove eid-viewer eid-mw libbeidpkcs11-0

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED

And then tried again:
$ sudo apt install open-eid
Now it worked. And when Estonian software was installed first, the Belgian software installs as well:
$ sudo apt install eid-viewer eid-mw
Voilà.
Afterwards I noticed that maybe both (Estonian) DigiDoc and (Belgian) eid viewer had been known to Tuxedo OS before and all this wasn’t necessary. But I’m not sure.
sudo apt remove eid-viewer eid-mw libbeidpkcs11-0
