did you ever work with command line?
there have to be space between "--scripts" and "MediaCenter-24.0.74-amd64.deb" to distinguish option and filename:
alien -rc MediaCenter-24.0.74-amd64.deb

Mike,
I have worked with a command line, but only on a Linux Mintro distro and perhaps on Windows. This is my first attempt at GekkoLinux.
BTW, Mediajukebox is the ONLY item in my downloads since I just installed it. I'll have another go.
Thanks for your help. BTW, I'm a 78 year old retired MD, but can still find my way to the bathroom and back, and I've been married 58 years to the same lady; we began dating when we were 15.  We're both too old to try to break in a new spouse, but I'm willing to try a new distro.

Mike,
If I am bugging you too much, please let me know. Here's what happened this time and what did I do wrong or omit. I'd really like to learn this stuff. Keeps my brain working.
Will be back on-line around 4PM EST (US)
I really appreciate the help.

Mike Noe:
You just need to pay a little closer attention to your command line:


--- Code: ---sudo alien -r --scripts mediacenter24.0.74.deb
--- End code ---

Notice you had a dash "-" in front of the filename.

BTW, I just noticed that on tumbleweed, I'm getting a conflict on the install of the resultant .rpm, not sure yet what it is, but just ignoring and continuing with the install seems to have been working.

tlcmd:
I'll try it MediaCenter-24.0.74-amd64.deb and let you know.
Thanks,
tlcmd
sorry to sound so dumb about this.
