Hi There
I'm an Ubuntu / Linux novice, so I apologise in advance if my questions are a bit basic. I've been given an old PC with the intention of finding out if I can use it as a server, with my music streamer in particular. I've installed Hardy Heron, and have been trying to follow the instructions here:
http://www.howtoforge.com/set-up-a-linux-playstation-3-media-server-with-ubuntu8.04
I followed this step and it worked fine:
wget http://www.topdog-software.com/oss/fuppes/fuppes_0+svn611-1_i386.deb
but when I tried to carry out the dpkg step, the following occurred:
MY_USER@MY_USER-server:~$ dpkg -i fuppes_0+svn611-1_i386.deb
dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
MY_USER@MY_USER-server:~$
sudo dpkg -i fuppes_0+svn611-1_i386.deb
[sudo] password for MY_USER:
Selecting previously deselected package fuppes.
(Reading database ... 120071 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking fuppes (from fuppes_0+svn611-1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of fuppes:
fuppes depends on libgif4 (>= 4.1.6); however:
Package libgif4 is not installed.
fuppes depends on libmagick++10; however:
Package libmagick++10 is not installed.
fuppes depends on libsimage20; however:
Package libsimage20 is not installed.
fuppes depends on libswscale1d (>= 0.cvs20070307); however:
Package libswscale1d is not installed.
dpkg: error processing fuppes (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
No problem I thought - I will simply download those packages (libgif4, libmagick++10, libsimage20 and libswscale1d) and install them myself. I found a suitable mirror site and chose to open the first file from the location using package installer, only to be presented with the following message:
Same version is available in a software channel You are recommended to install the software from the channel instead
Am I doing something really fundamentally wrong? Is this a common Ubuntu newbie type mistake?
All advice greatfully received.
Regards
Andy
