On artful, after installing libavutil and libwscale, I had a bunch of unmet dependencies.

sudo gdebi clickshare_01.07.01-79_amd64.deb

was able to resolve them all and install.

tried this on 18.04 with latest updates without success. Anyone tried this on an updated 16.04/18.04? The package was successfully installed and i can launch the clickshare app but nothing happens when i plug the usb dongle. It just blinks. Any suggestions?

installation worked fine.
But now I get another error.
Once I open the clickshare app I get the message "waiting for clickshare button. When I plug the clickshare button into my usb port and press the button on the clickshare device, I get the message: "all buttons are in use by another application"

I've got no other application open.

Any suggestions?

Having the same symptoms as described by foot3print and Peter-Nijenhuis (deb and dependencies installed and dongle just blinking and on first launch of app msg "Waiting for button..."). Someone managed to get this working ?

Same issue too. On the app window, Clickshare Client is the only one the version number is checked. The rest keeps syncing. Any solutions?

I tried it on Ubuntu 16.04 - installs and runs but doesn't appear to recognise the USB dongle.
Dongle flashes white, on and off - but no amount of pressing the button seems to do anthing

Same problem here as aseru65: the dongle keeps on blinking, the client keeps on checking for updates. I am on Xubuntu 18.04. Also, when I connect the dongle, Xubuntu mounts it as a drive. Doesn't that conflict with using the device as something else than a drive? When I unmount the drive, the dongle keeps on blinking.

Do I even need the clickshare button when using this method? Can't I just connect directly to the projector's Wifi and project without the USB dongle?

I am also desperate for this. Another solution could be using chrome/chromium to cast via chromecast to the clickshare unit.
But I didn't get this to work either.

I guess since the software is deprecated on Linux, we're out of luck here. Or does anyone have a successfull build?
