JRiver Media Center 19.0.60 for Debian

I am not running plain Linux Mint, but 32 bit Linux Mint Debian Edition (mate), a rolling distro).
--- End quote ---
I just did a clean install of "mate" 32 bit in a VM on a core i7 platform.
All I did after the install completed was...
apt-get update
apt-get install lame
dpkg -i Mediacenter-19.0.60.deb
and I had a working Media Center.
Maybe it IS a hardware or OS install issue.

I had results just like Remy except on older hardware (core 2 quad).
Now perhaps I'm not understanding Mint properly. I thought everything they have are rolling distros. The only difference between Mate, Cinnamon, whatever are they are different desktops and we don't care about the desktop.
From a prompt.
uname -a
cat /proc/cpuinfo
cat /proc/meminfo
cat /etc/issue
Also, how about a URL for the installer you used to create the machine in the first place?
Post the results. Thanks.

From tlcmd's description of his machine, I get the nasty suspicion that it's actually likely to be a P4 with HT, not actually a dual core machine.
This leads me to wonder whether there's a stray bit of SSSE3 code somewhere that's slipped the net, so that things work on AMD64 boxes, but the older P4s don't like.
Having reinstalled this recently and with everything else working OK, IMHO probably rules out a OS misconfiguration (Unless you went and slimmed all and sundry off the default install?)

Baseball, Linux Mint has the current release Mint 15 which is NOT a rolling distro, and LMDE 201303. Here's the word on 201303:
Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) is a semi-rolling distribution based on Debian Testing.
It’s available in both 32 and 64-bit as a live DVD with MATE or Cinnamon.
The purpose of LMDE is to look identical to the main edition and to provide the same functionality while using Debian as a base.
FAQ
1. Is LMDE compatible with Ubuntu-based Linux Mint editions?
No, it is not. LMDE is compatible with Debian, which isn’t compatible with Ubuntu.
2. Is LMDE fully compatible with Debian?
Yes, 100%. LMDE is compatible with repositories designed for Debian Testing.
3. What is a semi-rolling distribution?
Updates are constantly fed to Debian Testing, where users experience frequent regressions but also frequent bug fixes and improvements. LMDE receives “Update Packs” which are tested snapshots of Debian Testing. Users can experience a more stable system thanks to update packs, or switch their sources to follow Testing, or even Unstable, directly to get more frequent updates.
4. How does LMDE compare to the Ubuntu-based editions?
Pros:
You don’t need to ever re-install the system. New versions of software and updates are continuously brought to you.
It’s faster and more responsive than Ubuntu-based editions.
Cons:
LMDE requires a deeper knowledge and experience with Linux, dpkg and APT.
Debian is a less user-friendly/desktop-ready base than Ubuntu. Expect some rough edges.
No EFI, GPT or secureBoot support.
Additional notes:
About the installer: The live installer is developed from scratch with Debian in mind. It’s configurable and it can be re-used by other Debian-based distributions. We noticed a lack in live technologies and in live Debian installers, so we’re happy to take the lead on this. If you’re a developer and you’re interested in using it, have a look at its source repository and don’t hesitate to contact us so we can help you fork it and merge upcoming changes between our two projects.
About bugs: Please use this blog to report bugs.
Dedicated chat room: #linuxmint-debian is open to LMDE users on irc.spotchat.org.

Bob,
Prior to my re-install of LMDE (Mate), I did delete the entire hard drive so started with a blank totally unformatted partition on about Oct 1. Gave my swap 2.1 Gigs, My "/" 20 Gigs and made the rest of the 320 HDD my Home. "/" and "home" were formatted to ext 4.
The rest of my system runs very well and is fast. Since I'm not a gamer and use my computer primarily for music (connected to my stereo system), email, and surfing (research), this unit will do everyghing I want it to if I can get MC 19 installed and use Crossover Linux to install one other program (MovieOrganizer 2.8.6) which is a Windows only program.
My current hardware configuration is :
An Intel(R)
Pentium(R) D CPU 2.66GHZ
2.67GHZ 1.96 RAM
I was told that this was a Dual Core Processor.

However, as I have mentioned previously, I'm only semi-computer literate, so really need help here. I do have a post graduate degree (MD), so I can figure out most things, but then, I only had 2 models with which to work in my business (male and female).
Thanks for any help. I did try the suggested terminal install and still got aborted when I hit the last step.
