No underlying browser available, Kubuntu 22.04
1 project | /r/BiglyBT | 7 Jun 2023

Various windows in BiglyBT show me an error saying that there is "no underlying browser available". It is the same issue shown in this Github issue and also this one, but the suggestion solutions there (which are three years old) don't work for me. I am on Kubuntu 22.04 and it seems that maybe "libwebkitgtk-3.0-0" is no longer available from Ubuntu repos?
