Topic: [SOLVED] Devede - installation?

Hi,

I'm still using #! 9.04 and really would like to install devede - there does not appear to be an alternative.

Some threads indicate that it is possible but I'm having no success. Has anybody installed it successfully (without affecting vlc)?

Thanks for your help.

Re: [SOLVED] Devede - installation?

Hi Kino! Some of the older posts are a bit confusing since I think we were mixing Statler alpha 1 and #9.04 issues a bit in some threads (and I *think* the VLC thing was just on Statler). What issues are you running into and what is your installation source? I booted into #9.04 to check my working DeVeDe install and the package I'm using came from: http://www.getdeb.net/software/DeVeDe

Re: [SOLVED] Devede - installation?

Hi,

I had added the source:
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org  squeeze main non-free

but that didn't work....

Your link - http://www.getdeb.net/software/DeVeDe

produced the following error message:
Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python-gtk2 (>= 2.16.0)

It looks (from Synaptic) that I have python 2.14 installed so any further help would be appreciated. How do I upgrade?

Re: [SOLVED] Devede - installation?

There is an alternative, DVDstyler.
I've used it myself on #! 9.04
It's in the repository, but I would suggest getting the newest version as it has a template feature.
I've had some stability issues, but my system is five years old and past it's prime. The spare PC (Qimo on Lucid, very low specs) handles it fine.
I use VLC to test both the avi source files and the completed DVD's (I like VLC!).

Whew (that it didn't work)! big_smile

That repository is for the newer Crunchbang with a Debian base and some funky things might happen if stuff gets mixed in from there and you'll want to stick to the Ubuntu repositories for something like this.

Hmm.. mine is working with 2.14, not sure why it's doing that. I don't really use this anymore (#9.04) so I can try backing the DeVeDe install out and starting it fresh to see if that happens here too.

Re: [SOLVED] Devede - installation?

@Kino:  I never tried installing devede in Ubuntu, but do you have the medibuntu repositories enabled in Synaptic?  This sounds like the kind of package that might require software from there.

Re: [SOLVED] Devede - installation?

This is sort of confusing but I might have figured out some of the weirdness (with at least GetDeb).

I don't think 3.15.2-1~getdeb1 is hosted on GetDeb anymore even though it looks available (it failed with a 404 on the reinstall fetching).

*** If the GetDeb repository in sources is using anything higher than #9.04, it could be offering up the newer versions that will trigger the dependency error.

*But* it looks like there is a native #9.04 version of DeVeDe from the main Ubuntu repository (3.12c) which I saw after commenting out the GetDeb repository.

So in theory, apt-get install (or Synaptic) should install the older version just fine from the main #9.04 repository. Have you tried that?

*** Edit- I should have taken a better look at the current GetDeb site before I posted that link. It worked back when I used it on Jaunty, but the current instructions don't really apply well anymore since they use Lucid as the example, sorry about that.

Also, before installing anything else could you please post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list so we can make sure you're pulling from the right places? Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] Devede - installation?

Fozzyb - I did not know about DVDstyler, I'll remember it for the future.

Chilli - here is my sources.lst

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty-security main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty-security universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty-security universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty-security multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty-security multiverse

all I know is that devede is not available from my Package Manager.

So - I tried apt-get install and it worked!

So far it looks as if vlc is also working as it should.

Thanks for your help!

Re: [SOLVED] Devede - installation?

Yay! You're welcome and I'm glad it worked. Your repository source list looks right (I don't see any stray Debian,  Ubuntu Karmic or Lucid in there).

That's so weird it didn't show up in Synaptic but it was available through Apt, maybe that's why I used GetDeb originally (it was a while back). It should be showing up in Synaptic now that it's installed (like external .deb files do).

I don't think you're gonna hit any vlc snags with #9.04 (though I might be wrong on that smile ) since as far as we could figure, it had more to do with what's in the Debian multimedia repository not playing so nice than the actual application.  Might be all good now*, I should probably move to Alpha 2 soon to mess around with it. It affected the newer version of Crunchbang (Statler, based on Debian), not #9.04 (Jaunty, Ubuntu based).

*(edit- spoke too soon, I just read other threads) big_smile
