Adding the MediaCenter repo manually. Only for Debian and Ubuntu.
bob:
I added the packages MC needs for Noble to the repo so they will be downloaded with MC. They are the signed ubuntu ones, like you'd get off of a mirror.
See the revised instructions above that include the Noble MC repo.

Hello everyone.
I have just received my new device with this version of Ubuntu installed: LTS 22.04.3
I have tried every method described here in the forums to install the latest version of MC, but always come up against the same problem, libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 required but cannot be installed.
I have also tried everything that I can think of to get it installed, but I keep received the same message that it cannot be installed.
I always try to figure things out by myself, but I must concede that I am stuck here, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
Awesome Donkey:
I guess Ubuntu backported the newer libwebkit2gtk to 22.04 LTS unfortunately, but MC requires the older one. You can try switching to the Noble repo (which includes libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37) but be warned it may not work on an older Ubuntu or you can try manually installing libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 (and the two dependencies it has) or you'll have to wait until 24.04.1 LTS is released before you can upgrade to the latest 24.04 LTS.
I suppose if Ubuntu has removed libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 from 22.04 LTS Bob could just add it to the Jammy repo like the Noble one. That may not be a bad idea, actually.
BryanC:
libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 is in the jammy repos so what is the exact error?
AaronSchick:
Hello Awesome Donkey and BryanC, many thanks for your responses, it is much appreciated.
When I try to install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 I get the following error message:
...
Package libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
...
Package "libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37" has no installation candidate
Maybe I need to add a new source in ubuntu.sources, or perhaps I carried out the following step incorrectly:
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jriver-com-archive-keyring.gpg arch=amd64,i386,armhf,arm64] http://dist.jriver.com/latest/mediacenter/ jammy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jriver.list
Sorry, I am a bit out of my depth here, my Linux terminal experience is very limited.
