As some of you might know, I am a huge fan of the GTD (“Getting Things Done“) service Wunderlist. What I love the most is the fact that I can use it on every of my device, thanks to a compatibility with most of the platforms out there (desktop and mobile). For the curious out there, they actually use Titanium Platform to make it happen.
Unfortunately, the last version of Ubuntu, Oneiric Ocelot, broke this compatibility and the application refuses to launch. This is due to the usage of outdated library by Wunderlist, and the creation of a few symbolic links can solve that (so Wunderlist will use transparently the new versions, as it does not seem to make it crash).
As I was in a good mood tonight, I quickly wrote a bash script to help you doing that. The use is simple:
- If you haven’t downloaded it on your machine already, download the archive of Wunderlist, 32 bits or 64 bits depending of your version of Ubuntu (and the architecture of your PC obviously).
- Install all the necessary libraries for Wunderlist to work using apt-get: libcurl4, libnotify4, libffi6, libcrypto1.0, lissl1.0
- Download my little script
- Extract both archives and copy the wunderlist_oneiric.sh in the Wunderlist-1.2.4 folder.
- Open a terminal, cd to the newly created directory (Wunderlist-1.2.4)
- Allow the execution of the script executing chmod +x wunderlist_oneiric.sh
- Execute it using ./wunderlist_oneiric.sh (it is important that you execute this script inside the Wunderlist folder)
- Choose your architecture (i386 or amd64) and you’re ready to go. The script has to execute some commands as root, so your sudo password will be requested.
Once the operation is done, you can execute Wunderlist using the ./Wunderlist command. If you had a previous version of Wunderlist installed, you have to remove the preference folder located at ~/.wunderlist otherwise the application won’t start.
As usual, I can not be considered responsible of what could happen to you or your machine while using this script 
Enjoy 
Original i386 commands come from David Heddle on the Wunderlist Support Forum

Just a few notes for the laymen (like me)…
I didn’t need to install any of the libraries –
as mentioned above – “Install all the necessary libraries for Wunderlist to work using apt-get: libcurl4, libnotify4, libffi6, libcrypto1.0, lissl1.0″
The first three libraries were already installed (possibly due to other dependencies, I’m not sure) as was – I think it should be libssl1.0 NOT lissl1.0 as listed above. librcrypto1.0 was not installed but when I looked it up on Launchpad – https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/amd64/libcrypto1.0.0-udeb it says it should not be installed on a normal machine. So I didn’t and followed all the other instructions above to a tee. Wunderlist is up and running on my 11.10 64-bit install.
Moystard – any problems without libcrypto1.0 installed?
Use synaptic to search and see if these libraries are installed on your machine before you attempt to find and install them.
Any news when Wunderlist will be officially fixed for 11.10? How will your script/install affect things if we want to install the new release of Wunderlist when it is ready to go for 11.10? How do we revert things back or will this be necessary?
Cheers for the script etc.

Thanks so much. I really needed this because the web app couldn’t hold up to the desktop app. I really hope they fix things for Oneiric, but thanks anyway.

Hello Moystard, i was trying to make Wounderlist work, but due to SOPA and PIPA and FBI… Tomorrow megaupload has stopped working… And you had posted your script there… T_T
If you could send it to me, or maybe, post it in anoher place, Thanks!

The script is inaccessible anymore.
