How to get clickshare working on Ubuntu 16.04

gistfile1.txt

sudo apt install libresample1 
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/liba/libav/libavutil52_9.18-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libavutil52_9.18-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/liba/libav/libswscale2_9.18-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libswscale2_9.18-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb
wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/gg2i5wszrqkhzy8/clickshare_01.07.01-79_amd64.deb?dl=0#
sudo dpkg -i clickshare_01.07.01-79_amd64.deb

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.

The wget step is failing; 301 to a non existing resource. Full output below.

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?

Got it running on Ubuntu 18.04.

http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/liba/libav/libswscale2_9.20-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb

Install
libavutil52_9.20
libswscale2_9.20

sudo apt install gdebi
sudo gdebi clickshare_01.07.01-79_amd64.deb

On running Clickshare I saw
Gtk-Message: 08:48:02.071: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar"
Gtk-Message: 08:48:02.086: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

So install
sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk-module libcanberra-gtk3-module

After that i could share my screen with clickshare

i can start clickshare-launcher and the button is recognized. The clickshare process is started but after that nothing happens.

@LBoraz, same here

Same issue as LBoraz.
Running Pop!_OS 19.10

Anyone found a fix yet?

Have the same problem with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS like @LBoraz.

Same problem here with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Any idea?

Any improvement for Ubuntu 20.04 ?
Barco still doesn't offer support...

Can someone share the clickshare deb package again?

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.

And for last version of ubuntu 24.04 ?

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