Can't install Media Center 33 on Ubuntu 24.10

<< < (2/2)

Awesome Donkey:
The installJRMC script isn't developed or maintained by JRiver so it'll be up to Bryan on how to proceed with a fix on the installJRMC side.

I did inform Bob (one of the JRiver devs) about it as well but considering JRiver only officially supports Debian they may only post instructions on how to manually workaround it in the repo topic which is fine because (in my opinion) anyone wanting to install MC on a non-Debian platform should be using the installJRMC script anyways. It's just easier.

Awesome Donkey:
A quick and dirty way to workaround it.

First, you have to rename the jriver.list file to jriver.sources.


--- Code: ---sudo mv '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/jriver.list' '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/jriver.sources'
--- End code ---

Next you need to open it in a text editor with sudo so you can make changes and edit it.


--- Code: ---sudo gnome-text-editor /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jriver.sources
--- End code ---

This will work for normal Ubuntu. If using Xubuntu, Kubuntu or whatever make sure you change gnome-text-editor to the text editor used by the system.

Next, with that text file open you should see the following all on a single line...


--- Code: ---deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jriver-com-archive-keyring.gpg arch=amd64,i386,armhf,arm64] http://dist.jriver.com/latest/mediacenter/ noble main
--- End code ---

Replace all that with this (this is multiple lines)...


--- Code: ---Types: deb
URIs: http://dist.jriver.com/latest/mediacenter/
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/jriver-com-archive-keyring.gpg
Suites: noble
Components: main
--- End code ---

And save your changes.

Next, in the Terminal use the following command to reload APT and the repositories...


--- Code: ---sudo apt update
--- End code ---

If you don't experience any errors you can try the following to install Media Center 33...


--- Code: ---sudo apt install mediacenter33
--- End code ---

If all goes well, it should install.

BryanC:
Ubuntu 24.10 should now be supported in installJRMC 1.3.8. It will default to using the Noble repo (until Oracular is made available) and uses the new sources file format.
