Wicked gem fails using this gem on Ubuntu 22.04.02 LTS
I use the wicked gem in a rails application. I have 2 computers. And is failing only on this one. Not sure if I used it before on this computer to generate PDFs. The error message names this gem. I dont have much tech knowledge so please provide instructions which are easy to exceute step by step :-)
The error message ->
Failed to execute:
["/home/julian/.rbenv/versions/2.6.6/bin/wkhtmltopdf", "--zoom", "1", "--orientation", "Portrait", "--dpi", "75", "--page-size", "A4", "--lowquality", "file:////tmp/wicked_pdf20230521-4835-6pp6w6.html", "/tmp/wicked_pdf_generated_file20230521-4835-fqwhes.pdf"]
Error: PDF could not be generated!

Please run cat /etc/os-release to check what's your linux distro. It's using ID and VERSION_ID to determine which binary should be used.
My problem was solved by a friend. I think he ensured inside the Gemfile of the Rails app that the right version was loaded. But again. I have little tech knowledge. You might want to throw an exception which includes solution options.
@theempij Check this comment is probably going to help

Ubuntu 22.04 support is now in version 0.12.6.7. Please check it and make sure it works for you, and reopen if it doesn't. Thanks!
