I am trying to get Mimio Studio installed on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine. Mimio Studio is a hardware+software system that can be used with a projector to create a virtual whiteboard on just about any flat surface.
When I installed Chrome, I used dpkg -i, apt-get update, install -f, which from what I understand, is supposed to take care of dependencies issues, so I tried something similar when I ran into trouble with Mimio, but no luck. Additionally, in my attempt to install Mimio, I enabled architecture i386.
I am a huge noob, so I dont really know what kinds of details to give when asking my question, or what kinds of keywords to search for online.
What do I need to tell you?

As a suggestion of one of my students' parent who uses Linux professionally, I did
$ ./mimio-notebook
and got
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gail"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "atk-bridge"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "unity-gtk-module"
Which I am not sure if that tells me about the next step, but one of my coworkers found a site, , which outlines the details on how to fix, and it worked!
FIX:
1) $ sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libgcc1:i386 gcc-4.6-base:i386 libstdc++5:i386 libstdc++6:i386
2) $ sudo apt-get install -f
3) $ sudo chown -R youruser:youruser /home/youruser/.mimio
I thought doing
$ sudo apt-get install -f
during the install would cover these dependncies, but I guess not.
still can't figure out why I was able to install in VMs all day, but could not install on my host OS, but it works now, so great!
As far I can understand Mimio have Linux version for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
After submitting registration form they provide two deb-files:
- English -
mimio-studio_11.53-en_i386.deb(267 Mb) - Multi-Language -
mimio-studio_11.53-intl_i386.deb(616 Mb)
So one of them should be installed with apt-get install:
sudo apt-get install ./mimio-studio_11.53*.deb
