Title: 19.0.70-1 and 72 not installable.
Post by: michaelg14 on November 07, 2013, 05:41:35 pm
I have MC 19.0.70 installed, when I try 70-1 or 72 I get the xfonts-75dpi:all not satisfiable error.  Any ideas?

Try this in a terminal...

sudo apt-get install xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpi

Then type this into the terminal to check to see if you have it installed correctly...

dpkg -l xfonts-75dpi

Under Architecture it should say All. You should be set then. :)

If I install it from the file manager I get that error but from the command line it works (UBU 13.10 x64).
The whole multiarch thing is not documented very well.
The fonts aren't architecture dependent, therefore, all is supposed to work.

Bob, I see the same thing on Mint 15. Package Manager fails and complains about xfonts not being installed even though it is. dpkg at command installs just fine.

Apt-get install tells me that it is already installed, so does dpkg.  19.0.70 installs but the newer ones don't.  Guess I will wait for the next update.

Okay, try this...

sudo dpkg -i [path to the MC package]

You can drag and drop the package into the terminal to get the direct path.

I can't get 72 installed for the life of me:

sudo dpkg -i MediaCenter-19.0.72.deb
dpkg: error processing MediaCenter-19.0.72.deb (--install):

install xfonts-75dpi using a package manager like synaptic

Awesome Donkey; I tried that, got the same results.

faceless;  I have installed it using package manager and from the terminal.

I am seeing an uppercase=bad error.  Any thoughts on that?

As a last resort you can try this...

sudo dpkg --force-all -i [path to the MC package]

Awesome Donkey;  Awesome!  It worked, told me that I was missing libasound:i386 which I installed, and it went in.  Doesn't work, but at least I got 72 installed.

"Something went wrong with playback"  is the current error.  At least I feel like progress is being made.

Thanks to all.

Okay, have you tried this?

sudo apt-get install lame libcurl3 libx11-6:i386 lib32stdc++6 libc6:i386

Make sure libcurl3:i386 is installed too using dpkg -l libcurl3

These are what I install when doing a clean Linux install in regards to satisfying MC's dependencies...

sudo apt-get install lame xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpi libcurl3 libasound2 libx11-6 lib32stdc++6 libc6

It *should* install multiarch libs when doing this. I verify by running dpkg -l on each dependency. :) Of course, it depends on which Linux distro you're using.

If it still isn't working, I'd also look at MC's audio device configuration and your hardwares supported sample rates, etc.

It's in and working.  Somewhat unstable but working.  Looking forward to the next 8 or 10 updates.

Thanks everyone

No dice for me - I've had xfonts-75dpi for a while, I think it's arch issue. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

sin3wav3:  Have you been able to install any version?  I am using Mint 15 with the Mate desktop.

i'm able to install MC19-72 on x64 systems installing all dependencies, but on 32bit systems I was not lucky. xfonts-75dpi nag.

I'm not sure you are going to get any satisfaction out of 12.04. Some of the libraries are behind the debian wheezy ones.
