Tried .deb install missing dependencies, snap install missing preview pane and minimize.

  1. sudo dpkg -i remarkable_1.87_all.deb
    This fails saying that dependencies are missing without trying to install them. Bumbu.
  2. Type: sudo apt-get -f install
    This picks up the missing dependencies from the previous command. Wizard!
  3. sudo dpkg -i remarkable_1.87_all.deb
    Now works perfectly. Who would have known?

TBH this workaround isn't original but it was just a google search away.

This solution did not work for me on Ubuntu 22.04.

Thank you and sorry. Could you post the error messages? Another trick which can help is to install the -dev versions of any missing libraries.

There is a fix for the Preview Screen problem by a guy on Github:
https://github.com/seiferteric/remarkable_debfix. Works for me on Ubuntu 22.04 but ONLY for the .DEB version.
