Music Applet

[litemirrors]

It doesn't show the plugins and won't allow me to configure anything, can you help me figure out how to apply this fix?

I complied the applet with this patch and it now works...

Download the sources and insert a line:

sys.path.append('/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/')

to the music-applet. Between the

import sys

and

import os

Then recompile the music-applet.

Re: Music Applet

typing make in the directory tells me there is no makefile found?

I tried mkinstalldirs but it tells me there is no makefile found??

What the heck! lol

Re: Music Applet

It appears music applet was superceded by this https://code.launchpad.net/panflute but I've no freakin clue how to compile lol It mentions some weird thing when I do ./configure ugh.

So for the music applet package, is that mkinstalldirs the make command? It looks like it :|

Re: Music Applet

What are you doing ?
It would be easier to help if you could tell all steps and outputs.

I would use the "How to: Recompiling / Rebuild Debian / Ubuntu Linux Binary Source File Packages". Then there should be a nice .deb package to install.

Re: Music Applet

It's pretty simple, I need to compile the bug fix into Music Applet instead of using Synaptic (because Music Applet is discontinued so they won't be fixing it anyway)

http://www.kuliniewicz.org/music-applet/

When I download the package (and edit it using the bug fix) afterward I run ./configure and then I try MAKE but it tells me there is NO MAKE FILE. I saw a file called mkinstalldirs but trying to run it in terminal does nothing :? Also there's another file called install-sh - could it be make install?

Anyways it should be pretty easy I just don't know how to compile based on what I see in the folder :\

If you could tell me how to compile the new version called Panflute https://launchpad.net/panflute that would work too, but I don't really understand how I would compile that it looks way harder

Communication problem ?

The easy way and the hard way

The easy way is do as the > How to: Recompiling / Rebuild Debian / Ubuntu Linux Binary Source File Packages tells. It has steps: Install this, type this to the konsole...

Adding to the How to:

After you have unpacked the source with the command:

dpkg-source -x music-applet_2.5.0-0ubuntu5.dsc

Edit the sources and and insert a line:

sys.path.append('/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/')

between

import sys

and

import os

Then recompile the music-applet with the command:

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b

No need to use the "./configure" etc...

The hard way is to compile from the raw sources - the sources may or may not compile with the Ubuntu without patching...


Panflute

Launchpad page > Panflute

Again there are the easy way and the hard way. The easy way is to use the PPA repositories /1/. > Personal Package Archives for Ubuntu >> Show PPAs matching: panflute >>> PPA for Panflute. You could download the karmic packages and (try to) install them.

And there is the option to download the Ubuntusized sources:

panflute_0.6.1-0ubuntu0~karmic1.diff.gz (2.2 KiB)
panflute_0.6.1-0ubuntu0~karmic1.dsc (1.4 KiB)
panflute_0.6.1.orig.tar.gz (217.5 KiB)

and recompile them with the Lucid /2/.

The hardest way is to compile from the raw sources.
