Has anyone been able to download MC24 to a rolling linux distro
tlcmd:
Mike,
Here's what I'm getting now:
tlcmd@library:~> sudo alien -r --scripts mediacenter-24.0.74-amd64.deb
[sudo] password for root:
File "mediacenter-24.0.74-amd64.deb" not found.
tlcmd@library:~> sudo alien -r --scripts "mediacenter-24.0.74.deb
> sudo alien -r --scripts "mediacenter-24.0.74.deb
File "mediacenter-24.0.74.deb
sudo alien -r --scripts mediacenter-24.0.74.deb" not found.
tlcmd@library:~> sudo alien -r --scripts "mediacenter-24.0.74-amd64.deb"
File "mediacenter-24.0.74-amd64.deb" not found.
tlcmd@library:~>
so I retried it without the quotes and with capitalization and got:
tlcmd@library:~> sudo alien -r --scripts MediaCenter-24.0.74-amd64.deb
[sudo] password for root:
File "MediaCenter-24.0.74-amd64.deb" not found.

Do I need to switch from GekoLinux to openSUSE and use "tumbleweed"?
Thanks,
Dick

You need to use the full, direct path to the .deb file or open a Terminal and point it to the directory the .deb file is in using the cd command.

Awesome Donkey,
Would you give me the proper command line to do that, please. I'm new to RPM files and have been using Linux or Ubuntu in the past. So in spite of a lot of reading and research, I need hands on guidance to learn how to use the .deb file or open a terminal (which I can do) and point it to the directory the .deb file is in using the cc command.
Yeah, I am only semi-computer literate, but have since opening my medical practice, taken banjo lessons, been through the Masonic rites, Scottish and York rites, become a Shriner, taken landscaping classes at our local technical college (where I was the only non-professional landscaper there so I learned from everyone). Not to mention becoming a barbershop singer (I'm in two choruses), and taking a 2 year evening course in auto mechanics before the days of fuel injection, but I can rebuild a mean carb. I detail my own cars totally (prefer the Zaino line of products), and can rebuild an engine. Here I'm in the same boat as I'm the guy who knows the least so I can learn from everyone. I really appreciate all the help I can get. Especially since Geko Linux seems to the the rolling distro which offers exactly what I want in a Linux distro....if I can get jrivers MediaCenter 24 on it. I've already repurchased an MC 25 license. MC 25 is pending so if I can learn how to install 24 here, I can use those skills to upgrade when 25 is released. Thank you and the others on this forum who have put up with my dumb questions. And yes, I've also asked for help from several Linux forums including the Gecko one. SO far, the best advice is from this MC forum for Linux. I am running Windows 10 alongside Linux and did buy the master license, but prefer a Linux distro 99+% of the time to Windows. In fact, my cpu opens to Gecko. I also have around 600 Gigs of space left for a 3rd OS on my HDD.
Thank you,
And my appreciation to Mike who has also helped.

The path depends where you currently have the .deb file. Easiest way to do it is to type sudo alien -r --scripts then press the spacebar to add a space (the space that's needed between --scripts and the full path to the .deb file), then drag and drop the .deb file into the Terminal, it should fill out the full path to the .deb file automatically. Then proceed.

Awesomedoneky,
Where did I screw-up this time? I really appreciate the assistance.
My deb file is, I guess in my downloads as /home/tlcmd/Downloads/MediaCenter-24.0.74-amd64.deb
However, why does MediaCenter not include the files needed by other distros like Arch, openSUSE, etc as a part of their downloads? If I ever get this deb file converted, I'll try to post the RPM file.
Thanks for your ongoing assistance.
Here's where I am now:
