We are being forced to upgrade our GSE PC's from Ubuntu 14 (very old, I know!) to Ubuntu 20. We have legacy systems that are running COSMOS 4.5 and it would be risky (scheduled wise) to attempt to go to COSMOS 5. I am not able to install COMOS 4.5 on Ubuntu 20, (apt cannot locate many dependencies). Any advice?

This is one of the many reasons for COSMOS 5. Installing qt4 on modern linux is very difficult because it is not compatible with gcc 9. If you can go to Ubuntu 18, I think it still works there. Otherwise, I would be very happy to help you upgrade to COSMOS 5 :)

Cmd/Tlm definitions, scripts, interfaces, and protocols should work as-is for 95%+ of cases. They just have to be placed into the new plugin folder structure, and built into a gem (not hard).

Custom tools and widgets are where most of the differences are.

I have gotten cosmos 4.5 to run on ubuntu 20.
I put together a docker file for it.
it is fairly strait forward to run.
