Not compatible with Ubuntu 24.04 - libfuse2 -->libfuse3

[mk3rnb8]

Tell us more about this new feature.

Hi Folks,

The package depends on libfuse2 (fuse2)which is not available for Ubuntu 24.04 anymore. Ubuntu 24.04 comes with libfuse3-3 (fuse3) Would you like to update the code to support libfuse3 for Ubuntu 24.04?

Regards, Max

Hi, Mountpoint is already compatible with fuse3 but we decided to build and ship it with fuse2 because we want to support older operating systems. We definitely want to continue to support Ubuntu 24.04 and newer operating systems. I will discuss with the team about this.

Wanted to bump this as it would be great to have this for newer OS.

Hi Guys. Is this issue resolved. we met the same issue here.

[mk3rnb8]

This request is open since July... How this issue will be fixed? If we cannot use it with the current Ubuntu version (24), we need to consider to switch from AWS to another provider.

Hi, we are still considering the best way to make it works for newer operating systems. There is nothing to share yet but we will prioritise this work.

Hi, we just investigated this a bit further. From our testing, some issues with the missing libfuse2 dependency may stem from the package being renamed to libfuse2t64 in Ubuntu 24.04 (this version can be installed without removing fuse3). Apparently, if one does not update the package headers (using apt-get update) on a fresh EC2-instance before installing Mountpoint, the dependency is not resolved correctly.

However, in our testing, after performing apt-get update, the pre-built package can be installed normally using sudo apt-get install ./mount-s3.deb and the dependencies are resolved correctly. We are working on updating the documentation to reflect this additional step. We are also looking into supporting libfuse3 in our pre-built binaries directly, but don't have anything new to share on this yet.

Please let us know if this additional step allows you to install Mountpoint on your Ubuntu 24.04 instances.

We've updated our installation instructions for Ubuntu, and we believe this should address the issue. Closing this issue for now, please let us know if you still experience the same issue.
