How to Install LMMS 1.2 beta on Linux via apt-get?

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kxstudio-debian/apps
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dobey/audiotools
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lmms
Expected to install the 1.2 beta version but instead remains with the older version no matter what!

lmms is already the newest version (1.1.3-1build1).

Which command should I use instead?

Hej,

I wasn't able to use my package manager for beta-staged LMMS either either, a quick check of the PPAs you used revealed that 1.2x does not appear to be included in the repos yet.

Me, I used the AppImage from the LMMS download page. The image contains all dependencies of the bundled application, which IMO perfectly makes sense in terms of a defined environment.

If you are using a debian'ish distro, the only thing you have to do is chmod +x ' ing the AppImage and perhaps provide a Desktop Icon for your convenience. I have attached an example below.

Code: Select all

cd ~/.local/share/applications
cat > lmms-beta.desktop 
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=LMMS (Beta)
Comment=LMMS
Icon=/usr/share/icons/lmms.png
Exec=/opt/lmms/lmms-1.2.0-rc6-linux-x86_64.AppImage
StartupWMClass=lmms.real

Even if it does not exactly match your original question, hope it helps a bit.

Have a lot of fun with LMMS!

Very good info.

What does that last line do ?

Hi Gps,

What does that last line do ?

The last line advises your Dock/Launcher component to group all icons being associated with the application class "lmms.real", which prevents the uncomfortable situation of having two LMMS icons at runtime. Not particulary necessary, but I appreciate a clean desktop and dock.

Interesting, well I am on opensuse, but I think most of those commands will work on any distro.

Some paths might be slightly different though.
