Setup JRiver Media Center 20 In Debian Jessie

<< < (2/4) > >>

Awesome Donkey:
Updated the tutorial to reflect MC's new build method - you *should* be able to use 32-bit Debian Jessie now! :)

Wybe:
I installed 32-bit Jessie Debian on a small desktop computer, but have a hard time to run the system headless. I'll try to solve the issues one at the time using this excellent forum. In the end I like to build a completely silent (passive cooling, no fans) system based on a Streacom housing and Debian as OS. First of all, for my understanding: even Debian Jessie comes with a standard desktop enviroment. What is the main reason for installing MC20 using the Terminal? Is it to avoid future problems with headless operation? Does an installation without desktop require that much less resources, that it's the best way to install and run MC20?

I have done autocutsel in the autostart (in KDE). When doing this, a terminal is never necessary

@Wybe
First: the use of the terminal is the same for all interfaces. When using the graphical interface,
there are big differences for each interface. The setup would have to be rewritten for each interface.

If you have added the Repo -as described above-, it should be possible to install MC with Synaptic (for example)

But it is better to install MC in the terminal, because you can see so better missing dependencies or errors.

In Debian KDE it is possible to make a lot of the steps described above with the graphical user interface.  :D :D

Only the JRiver APT repository you must add in the terminal.I've never tried to add a repository in Synaptic ,
because I do not know exactly how the key must be inserted. But probably this is also possible.

Wybe:
I did a clean install with Debian Xfce, but got an error message when installing JRiver from the terminal: unable to locate JRiver. Problaby something with the repository. I found out that the code

sudo wget http://dist.jriver.com/latest/mediacenter/mediacenter20jessie.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mediacenter20.list

didn't work, but did work when I removed the "jessie" part:

sudo wget http://dist.jriver.com/latest/mediacenter/mediacenter20.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mediacenter20.list

Did you update this tutorial and something went wrong with copy/paste, or is something else going on?

geier22:
Unfortunately, the instructions of the sources is a bit confusing. In many threads there are different instructions

I use this (as root) and it works very well for me.

--- Code: ---wget -q "http://dist.jriver.com/mediacenter@jriver.com.gpg.key" -O- | apt-key add -
wget -O http://dist.jriver.com/latest/mediacenter/mediacenter20native.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mediacenter20.list
apt-get update
apt-get install mediacenter20
--- End code ---
