kdevelop memory window

I'm on ubuntu 16.04 .When I try using the memory window it tells me I need okteta installed. I installed from the default repo and it still tells me I need okteta.

IIRC KDevelop needs a library from Okteta for this, but if Ubuntu were building with Okteta support you would have that dependency installed automatically.

Or else they provide an additional KDevelop package containing the plugin, if that's how Okteta support is implemented in Kdevelop. I never checked that. Are you sure you have all KDevelop packages installed?

Hi,

I'm on ubuntu 16.04 .When I try using the memory window it tells me I need
okteta installed. I installed from the default repo and it still tells me I
need okteta.

Which version of KDevelop (ubuntu 16.04 does not define that version)?

Chances are you are running into the issue that your KDevelop is still one
using Qt4, while Okteta is using Qt5. Which means 2 things:
* they do not mix due to the incompatibel versions of Qt
* newer Okteta using Qt5 does no longer provide the libkbytearrayedit plugin
which is needed for the memory window by KDevelop

2 options:
A) You need to find a package of Okteta which is at most version 0.14 (part of
KDE Applications 14.04). From a quick look* the packagers seem to have put the
plugin into the big Okteta package, that might not be coinstallable with
latest Okteta though, but that might not matter to you).
* http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/i386/okteta/filelist

B) You will have to wait some more months until that memory view feature is
restored in a newer KDevelop version, perhaps 5.2. There is hope somebody
might tackle it these days, cmp. https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kdevelop-devel/2017-January/056376.html
