[TGL] Failure to install OpenVINO runtime: Multiverse settings are disabled

[Sachin Mokashi]

The Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit 2021 4 Runtime fails with the following error:

E: Unable to locate package libfaac0 (while installing openvino dependencies)

The libfaac-dev package required by OpenVino is a part of multiverse repository.

Current workaround for the OpenVINO Runtime failure: Enable multiverse in open Software center (Software & Updates) -> Ubuntu Software.

Can multiverse be enabled by default in the IOTG Optimized Image

[Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100)]

Hello! This can certainly be done. It's not ideal, as we try not to enable multiverse by default on our images, but we had cases where this had to be done.

Quick question: is this for the installer-based ISO images or the preinstalled images?

[Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100)]

Also, does this bug need to be private?
I prepared a MP for review re this: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/livecd-rootfs/+git/livecd-rootfs/+merge/412331

@sil2100,

I believe this would be for the upcoming installer-based Desktop ISO image release and Ubuntu Core Image.

You can change the visibility of bug, no issues. I just marked it as private to begin with.

The latest image has both main, universe and multiverse activated:

Description: AAC audio encoder (development)
 The FAAC project includes the AAC encoder FAAC and decoder FAAD2. It supports
 several MPEG-4 object types (LC, Main, LTP, HE AAC, PS) and file formats
 (ADTS AAC, raw AAC, MP4), multichannel and gapless en/decoding as well as MP4
 metadata tags. The codecs are compatible with standard-compliant audio
 applications using one or more of these profiles.
 .
 This package contains the development files.

Therefore, the issue OpenVINO is experiencing now should be gone with this image.
