Architect on Ubuntu 20.04 : Pango ERROR, Harfbuzz version too old (1.3.1)

[pascal_chronotech]

Hi,

I just updated my Ubuntu to 20.04 LTS, and i get a error when starting Sencha Architect :

$ SenchaArchitect 
(SenchaArchitect:46473): Pango-ERROR **: 11:06:09.273: Harfbuzz version too old (1.3.1)

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Release:    20.04
Codename:    focal

Electron, used in Architect, is too old for Ubuntu 20.
The only solution seems to downgrade Pango (used in electron) to an older release but 1.44.7 (lastest) is the only version available on Ubuntu 20
More info here : https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/20348

$ sudo apt policy libpango-1.0-0

libpango-1.0-0:
  Installé : 1.44.7-2ubuntu4
  Candidat : 1.44.7-2ubuntu4
 Table de version :
 *** 1.44.7-2ubuntu4 500
        500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

How can i downgrade safely pango ? Have you another solution ?

Same issue in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

I found a solution on Stack Exchange that not needs to downgrade pango libs but didn't tried because it's too tricky for just trying the trial version of Sencha Architect: https://unix.stackexchange.com/quest...ersion-too-old

Hope this helps

Are there any updates on this? I think it is unacceptable that this error makes it for Ubuntu users impossible to make use of licensed software like Sencha Themer and Architect. This problem exists already for a while and no one at Sencha seems to read this forums urgencies. I have a VmWare Player installed only to have a workaround for this problem. It is not how it is supposed to be.

Sencha developer team, do something about this please.

The error persist in 2021. How can I fix it in Ubuntu 20?

I want to test Sencha Architect in Linux in order to see if it improves its performance because in Windows it is really slow with big projects.
