install lmms-1.3.3 in AVLinux

[seog]

hi all,

AVLinux is installed on my hard drive. It had lmms-0.4.7 but I wanted to switch over to lmms-1.1.3 and removed it.
Now,following all the prompts on https://lmms.io/download/#linux failed to do what I want:
1)

Failed to open URI "apt://lmms" - The specified location is not supported

2) apt-get reports broken packages
3) same thing when trying install via KXStudio repository

any help would be appreciated,

yours`

Can you post the exact commands you ran?

Also, I'm not sure it is wise to use AVLinux and KXstudio repos together: my understanding is that they are both niche distros, perhaps with minor variations on libraries that could trigger 'broken packages' messages in apt.

But assuming that's okay: did you use the following wget command to install the kxstudio repos? http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/Repositories

# Download package file
wget https://launchpad.net/~kxstudio-debian/ ... o1_all.deb

# Install it
sudo dpkg -i kxstudio-repos_9.0.0~kxstudio1_all.deb

... and THEN
apt-get install lmms

dear farawayinspace,
I neither am sure in compatibility of the two distros and was only compelled to experiment by desire to have lmms.
So here are the commands with the outcome`

Code: Select all

seog@studio:~$ sudo apt-get install lmms

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

and after wget saved the deb file

Hi,
The unmet dependencies are a different problem than what you originally posted, you may want to edit that. The issue is that lmms wants to install older/different versions of xine-ui, console-common, nfs-common.

Unmet dependencies can be tricky, but aptitude is generally better at resolving dependencies that apt-get. It is a lot easier if your primary interest in AVLinux is just to use lmms, so you're not worried about the performance of other programs that may depend on these libraries. I'd suggest you remove the kxstudio repos and then run:

sudo aptitude install -f

... to step through the issues and try to resolve them. In other words, go with the slightly older versions of console-common, nfs-common, see if that fixes it. NB, you may have to install aptitude first.

hi farawayinspace,

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

then, with a diminished hope`

both times "sudo apt-get -f install" did not help.
And I strongly suspect that apt-get is trying to install lmms-0.4.7 not lmms-1.1.3

I am not a real Linux expert, more a Linux user, but if he compiles lmms himself wont that solve the lib issues ?

[farawayinspace]

You can check the version of a package in the repository and installed with:
apt-cache policy lmms

What version of AVlinux are you using? Have you updated your repositories (apt-get update)? The culprit may be that you didn't run apt-get update before you tried to install LMMS. (Note, if you are not comfortable with apt-get or aptitude, you may want to use a more verbose GUI package manager, like synaptic). But before you can do that, you should clear the messages and update the repos...
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
... then see what version of lmms is in the repos
apt-cache policy lmms
... if that successfully updates the version of lmms to >1.0, then you can probably proceed to install without dependecies issues. However, if you still get dependencies messages, you will then have to do some research and figure out the issues, perhaps most simply addressed by running 'apt-get -f install' to step through the possible solutions (be prepared to hit Y/N to answer the questions it asks you).

dear Gps,
you are right and my first move was building lmms from source. here is the result

Code: Select all

seog@studio:~/lmms-1.1.3/build$ make
.........
.............
/home/seog/lmms-1.1.3/plugins/carlabase/carla.cpp:462:38: error: ‘NATIVE_PLUGIN_OPCODE_SAMPLE_RATE_CHANGED’ was not declared in this scope
     fDescriptor->dispatcher(fHandle, NATIVE_PLUGIN_OPCODE_SAMPLE_RATE_CHANGED, 0, 0, nullptr, handleGetSampleRate());
                                      ^

make[1]: *** [plugins/carlabase/CMakeFiles/carlabase.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

That is why I switched to trying apt-get and you know the present situation

Now, here is my distribution, farawayinspace

Code: Select all

seog@studio:~$ uname -a

and the info on lmms in it (I added Debian 8 repositories to /etc/apt-get/sources.list but apt-get tries to install packages of lower versions)

Code: Select all

seog@studio:~$ apt-cache policy lmms

any suggestion?

One remark about carla, I failed at getting it to work on openSUSE.
Because its as far I get it, still beta I gave up.
Even though there is a package to download from the buildservice:
https://software.opensuse.org/search?ut ... USE%3A13.2

[seog]

lmms is no worse without carla, I googled for solution typed flags on command line for make (something like 'warnings are not errors') but it did not work, make aborts when bumping on carla
