How I handle on Debian 12 #249

Closed Jasdent closed 9 months ago

Jasdent commented 9 months ago
  1. sudo apt-get install python3-launchpadlib install this or launchpad source will not be deemed as a legit source
  2. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apandada1/brightness-controller works
  3. sudo apt install brightness-controller works perfectly

Debian recommends that you don't add a PPA. Instead, manually download and install the .deb file from Launchpad

Jasdent commented 8 months ago

Update: I used this script on another instance of debian 12, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apandada1/brightness-controller is no longer reliable because I got prompted with E: The repository 'https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/apandada1/brightness-controller/ubuntu bookworm Release' does not have a Release file.

adding a source list file with the following content will resolve it.

# apandada1-ubuntu-brightness-controller-bookworm.list
deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/apandada1/brightness-controller/ubuntu/ jammy main
# deb-src https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/apandada1/brightness-controller/ubuntu/ bookworm main

PPAs don't work in debian unless you properly add an entry to sources.list (which is not recommended by Debian developers, see https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian).

Consequently there is no version corresponding to bookworm.

Instead of adding the ppa, download the deb package from launchpad and install it.
