Setup JRiver Media Center 20 In Ubuntu/Linux Mint
brooksmosher:
Hi, I tried installing on Ubuntu 14.04 by downloading and installing via the terminal, got dependency errors, ran the sudo apt-get install -f command and installed whatever it prompted me to install and I'm still getting errors when trying to install both the latest version of MediaCenter 19 as well as the version 19.0.122 (which I tried after trying to install 19.0.128). Here's the error message I'm getting:

I also went to the following link and tried installing but I'm still getting the same error when installing MC: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/amd64/libtasn1-6-dev/download
I'm new to Linux so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. If anyone has a chance to give me a hand I'd be very appreciative!

Yes, I found that out myself. As of right now, MC can't officially be installed on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS due to Ubuntu depreciating libtasn1-3 in favor of libtasn1-6. Since Debian Wheezy, the main Linux distro MC is developed on, still supports and requires libtasn1-3 MC won't officially work. So, there's four choices here...
1) Move to Debian Wheezy or Jessie to officially install MC.
2) Wait and see if there's anything Bob can do. The worst case scenario here, besides non-support of Ubuntu, is the need of a secondary .deb file for Ubuntu/libtasn1-6.
3) Stay on an older build of Ubuntu (not really recommended).
4) Take matters into your own hands by unpacking the .deb file, editing the control file changing the libtasn1-3 dependency to libtasn1-6 then rebuilding it. This could potentially be frowned upon here so I won't discuss how to do this, unless administration tells me otherwise. Personally, I already worked around this issue and MC is working fine for me.
So as of right now, UBUNTU ISN'T SUPPORTED FOR MC... officially!

Just an FYI
I had MC 19.0.128 running on Ubuntu 13.10. I upgraded to to Ubuntu 14.04 using the software updater and instructions on the Ubuntu website (not a clean install). I did not reinstall MC and it is still working perfectly. I am a Linux noob but based on what I have been reading here it appears that the upgrade did not remove the MC dependency files (libtasn1-3) that were already installed.
P.S. the upgrade went smoothly except for one issue. I tried to get it to leave my Grub2 file alone but it ended up messing it up and I had to repair it before I could reboot.

Tutorial updates are inbound! :D
EDIT: Got Pulseaudio + pavucontrol stuff added.
EDIT 2: Hopefully the list of dependences is correct, didn't get to test this yet on a clean install - would be great if somebody could verify this on 64-bit and 32-bit Ubuntu 14.04!
EDIT 3: I'll hold off on adding alsacap stuff until if/when it may be added within MC.
