        Hi Ji.

        I’d replace the “;” with “&&”.

        Example:
        sudo dpkg -i XnViewMP-linux-x64.deb; sudo apt-get -f install
        to
        sudo dpkg -i XnViewMP-linux-x64.deb && sudo apt-get -f install

          If you want to execute each command only if the previous one succeeded, then combine them using the && operator.

          If you want to execute both commands regardless of whether the previous one failed or not, separate them with semicolon.

        Hello Ji, I’ve used XnView for years and its familiarity is what I like. The panels are a bit squashed on my screen but it is a small one. Thanks for posting, much appreciated.

        I have ubuntu 16.04 LTS running on my 64bit laptop. Just installed XnView as described above. Install went fine, but when I run it I get the following error message:

        error while loading shared libraries: libgstapp-0.10.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

        I have verified that this file is not contained in the /opt/XnView/lib directory. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
