I'm trying to install JRiver 33 on Linux Mint 22 (Ubuntu 24 based)

When I downloaded .deb file from this forum I got this error when tried to install it



Then tried to install installJRMC using this command

curl https://git.bryanroessler.com/bryan/installJRMC/raw/master/installJRMC|bash

ended with this result

Installing JRiver Media Center from remote repository
Error: Failed to install mediacenter33. Attempting to continue
Error: Package install failed!
Error: JRiver Media Center installation from remote repository failed


Tried to install JRiver 33 on Mint 21 (Ubuntu 22) from .deb file and everything is OK.

Please help me... what I'm doing wrong and why .deb file installation failed?

PS.

I also tried to download installJRMC from

https://git.bryanroessler.com/bryan/installJRMC

Downloaded file was extracted and then I run command

./installJRMC

ended with the same error like above.

You have to use the noble repository.

It's failing because that libwebkit2gtk dependency was completely removed from Ubuntu 24.04 (and Mint 22). But Bob added it to the noble repository. The installJRMC may not know to use the noble repository for Linux Mint 22 so that fails too.

You can try adding the noble repository from this topic: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,137900.0.html

Just replace references to mediacenter32 to mediacenter33

Thanks for answer.

But could you explain it bit more?

I tried: ./installJRMC --mcrepo noble -d

but still don't have JRiver installed.

You'd have to manually add the noble repository and download it from there. The link I posted to Bob's tutorial should work.

A crude one-liner, not sure if it works as I'm mobile at the moment.

Code: [Select]

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y wget apt-transport-https -y gpg -y && wget -O- http://dist.jriver.com/mediacenter@jriver.com.gpg.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo  tee /usr/share/keyrings/jriver-com-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jriver-com-archive-keyring.gpg arch=amd64,i386,armhf,arm64] http://dist.jriver.com/latest/mediacenter/ noble main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jriver.list && sudo apt update && sudo apt install mediacenter33

Thank you !!!

Now I have JRiver 33 installed on Mint 22

Haha, nice! Not bad for crude mobile copying and pasting!

Enjoy!

Thanks for answer.

But could you explain it bit more?

I tried: ./installJRMC --mcrepo noble -d

but still don't have JRiver installed.

Just for future reference, when using extra command line switches in installJRMC you will also need to specify the installation method:

Code: [Select]

./installJRMC --mcrepo noble --install repo

I converted my older windows PC to Linux Mint 22 on Intel© Core™ i7-3632QM  to use it solely as music player using Media Player 33. I have used this thread for installation. Though the install says successful install from remote depository (details below), when I select MediaCenter33 from my Menu I just get a small window that says Information, and nothing more. A click on Information shows nothing. If there is an installation log, I could provide, please tell me where it is.  I can't seem to get beyond this point. Thanks for any help you can provide. 

Below is a record of my install:

Open a terminal and type in mediacenter33 to try starting it from there. If there's any errors keep a look at the terminal output.

[Awesome Donkey]

Looks like a potential permissions issue with the .jriver folder. In your file manager app (I assume Nemo because of it being Mint) go into the main /home/ralph/ and make sure the option to see hidden files is enabled. Then try deleting the .jriver folder then try starting mediacenter33 from the terminal again.

Alternately you can try this...

Code: [Select]

sudo rm -rf /home/ralph/.jriver
This will force delete the .jriver folder from the terminal. Might also be a good idea to reinstall MC33 for good measure. Then you can try starting mediacenter33 from the terminal.

One note, make sure you don't start mediacenter33 as sudo or else you'll potentially encounter issues like this.

[RCubed]

Yes - that was it. It stemmed from my initial install, which mistakenly resulted in ROOT as owner. I had fixed that problem, but was not aware of the hidden .jriver folder. ROOT was the owner and that needed to be changed to user.  I now have the program registered on this Linux system. Thank you!
