nRF Connect SDK v2.6.1 and v2.7 fails Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

There are multiple errors:

• Failed to clone the repositories: Error: Cloning into '~/ncs/v2.6.1/.west/manifest-tmp'... /~/ncs/toolchains/2be090971e/usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-remote-https: error while loading shared libraries: libunistring.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory FATAL ERROR: command exited with status 128: git clone --branch v2.6.1 github.com/.../sdk-nrf /~/ncs/v2.6.1/.west/manifest-tmp Error: Launched process exited with non-zero status: 128 Error: Subprocess ~/.config/nrfconnect/nrfutil-sandboxes/toolchain-manager/0.15.0/bin/nrfutil-toolchain-manager failed with unexpected exit code Some(128)

I had no problems installing V2.6 some time ago on the same PC (UBUNTU  24.04 LTS)

There is no libunistring2 on Ubuntu 24.

You can:

1. Download it manually, see answer at the bottom of devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../error-installing-nrf-connect-sdk-in-vscode-linux-libunistring-so-2-cannot-open-shared-object-file-no-such-file-or-directory

2. Create a symlink libunistring2->libunistring5 which probably works but is bad way because those libs have different apis.

3. Wait for new tool manager which uses libunistring5.

Yes it works now on Ubuntu 24 using your suggestion on

1.Download it manually......

Still on VS my second line is different than yours but may be something on configuration?

Anyway I can work now on any Ubuntu.
That solves the problem and hope helps others too.
Thank you
