Installation on Ubuntu

[sevku]

Is there a way to install GPMDP on Ubuntu? I understand that Fedora and Debian are not Ubuntu, however I tried to install the .deb file on Ubuntu and this was the result:

sudo dpkg -i Downloads/google-play-music-desktop-player_4.4.1_amd64.deb

could you type export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 before starting the install again?

Also, this looks like dependencies are missing. For some reason dpkg doesn't install dependencies by default. In this case, simply run sudo apt -f install and it should resolve everything by itself.

Seems like sudo apt -f install resolved the issues. I didn't see any effect of export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 however, assuming this should have changed the output language in the terminal.

Thank you very much for your help. I'm amazed that even Chromecast is working well.

Indeed, the LANG line was for me to understand something from that error message 😹

I think it would be a good idea to not just write Fedora and Debian on the Download page. It was a little confusing for me as a beginner.

Linux's fragmentation problem is partly due to that. You have to know that Ubuntu is based on Debian, and as such the inner workings of the OS are the same. Generally, Debian packages are compatible with Ubuntu.

Appears to have been resolved 👍
