I have Ubuntu 20.04 on my desktop. I tried to download Webex.deb onto my Ubuntu machine but I keep getting the message: "Failed to install file: not supported". I tried to install using Terminal commands: "sudo apt install ~/Downloads/Webex.deb" - message says "Not supported". I tried "sudo snap install snap-store" also. Your Webex onLinux says it works for Ubuntu yet it does not work.

Have you looked at what type of file it is? ie. file ~/Downloads/Webex.deb should show content like Debian binary package (format 2.0), with control.tar.gz, data compression gz (ie. the filename is not a reliable indication of what's inside the file; and it's what's inside that matters) – guiverc Sep 16 '21 at 10:08
message says "Not supported" -- Can you post the full error message? – Archisman Panigrahi Sep 16 '21 at 12:15
Use dpkg for installing *.deb "Your Webex onLinux" -we- don't have a "Webex onLinux", – Rinzwind Sep 16 '21 at 12:25

Does this answer your question? How do I install a .deb file via the command line? with correct deb-file from link or maybe yours institution provides its mod . – N0rbert Sep 16 '21 at 18:25
All I know is what the webex site says it is, i.e. webex.deb. Full error message is exactly what I wrote above, i.e. "Failed to install file: not supported". dpkg is already installed. – John Ross Sep 17 '21 at 12:28
