A Music Management Recommendation?

machinebacon · 2011-12-09 07:46:32

Ok, it seems to work (a combined dpkg -i and apt-get -f install) as long as the required packages are in the repos:

WHOO! That rules, machinebacon, thank you!

The first thing should always be

apt-cache search searchterm1 searchterm2

to check if the required software is already in the repos. This saves you from dependency hell. Or you check on packages.debian.org if the future release of Debian features your required software. In this case you can consider an upgrade to Wheezy/Sid on a separate partition (or a stick) for trying. Often packages are available in Testing/Unstable and this would mean: stay with Stable until 2013 big_smile

What is the exact package that requires these ugly dependencies?

Ah yes:

apt-cache depends amarok | grep qt
  Depends: libqt4-dbus
  Depends: libqt4-network
  Depends: libqt4-script
  Depends: libqt4-sql
  Depends: libqt4-svg
  Depends: libqt4-xml
  Depends: libqtcore4
  Depends: libqtgui4
  Depends: libqtwebkit4
  Depends: libqtscript4-core
  Depends: libqtscript4-gui
  Depends: libqtscript4-network

  Depends: libqtscript4-sql
  Depends: libqtscript4-uitools
  Suggests: libqt4-sql-sqlite
  Suggests: libqt4-sql-mysql
  Suggests: libqt4-sql-psql

You can remove Amarok (purge would be better, I suppose) and then try Clementine installation again.

I am trying to set myself on the path of sid (I tried once but everything was so b0rked that I ran away back to stable)... I have been joking that trying to get a good music management solution up and running is turning out to be more difficult than installing sid wink

machinebacon · 2011-12-09 08:05:31

Err, dotism, I just noticed:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  clementine
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 150 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.

150 not upgraded wink Do this first, maybe it solves itself.

dotism · 2011-12-09 08:12:54

machinebacon... Can you help me fix this? I've tried logging out and back in and I am still faced with this problem:

dotism@something:~/downloads$

I admit that I am kinda scared.

machinebacon · 2011-12-09 08:15:20

Have you tried the suggested

sudo apt-get -f install

Milozzy · 2011-12-09 08:16:18

I recommend gmusicbrowser too...As alternatives, Quodlibet and Guayadeque are great softwares.

machinebacon · 2011-12-09 08:18:22

After this you can

sudo apt-get install libmtp8 libqt4-webkit libqt4-sql-sqlite

dotism · 2011-12-09 08:19:52

Yes, it just uninstalls Clementine again. No matter what I do with apt or dpkg, I just get this clementine nonsense. It is stuck.

Edit: It freed up... I apologize for the drama.

dotism · 2011-12-09 08:29:50

This is verging on ridiculous smile I just want a music player. I wrote one using Basic in 1999 during the Napster heyday. It was easy. For some reason, this isn't smile

machinebacon · 2011-12-09 08:31:37

Not ridiculous at all. What do you think how many systems we have already borked? big_smile
Does Clementine work now?

dotism · 2011-12-09 08:36:36

No, I can't get clementine's dependencies to install.

I just got angry and am now upgrading my entire system from testing. I will probably live to regret that smile Time to backup my conkys.

machinebacon · 2011-12-09 08:40:51

If you are on the new release, I would comment the backports repos in the sources.list prior to dist-upgrade.

EnochRoot · 2011-12-09 10:32:42

I've started using mpd for playing my tunes with Ario / glurp / gimmix for control, works really sweetly

m5 · 2011-12-09 10:36:56

gmusicbrowser is great,
try decibel audio player,its light and you can enable library in preferences and doesn't have too much dependencies.has a clean interface too.

...Is there a way to simultaneously install a .deb package's dependencies when using dpkg? I am getting so tired of being denied an install due to dependencies when it seems like they could just be installed on-the-fly....

The package you want to consider for that functionality is gdebi. It will help with dependencies while installing a "local" .deb.

kowloonboy · 2011-12-09 12:39:13

@dotism

Consider upgrading SID, so you don't need to keep doing apt-pinning, I recommend this guide written by someone who smell like a combo of machine and bacon. lol

Tell me dumb but I'm going with Amarok. To me it's the best music player. If you're running Linux on a fat machine with good net bandwidth the qt-packages aren't much to worry about.

In my case not Amarok led me to the bad wink K-progs but Kaffeine. Having both inferior experiences with me-tv and vlc as a frontend for dvb-t tv I finally gave kaffeine a shot .. .and that was it. And digikam's really nice, too ...

You will be back in two weeks after the bugs.

You can make Gmusicbrowser look like Amarok and not have all the bloat installed.

ivanovnegro · 2011-12-09 18:52:29

What about MOC? It is a real #!'ers app or MPD with a fully featured ncurses interface like ncmpcpp, if you try it once, you will be addicted. smile
