Installing .deb fails #20

Closed joesgarage closed 3 years ago

joesgarage commented 3 years ago

When installing from the download folder, the popup box displays: "Unable to install autopweroff-gui: The following packages have unmet dependencies: " but it doesn't list what the are.

Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS

You need to install autopoweroff first, the server. The GUI depends on the server. Let me know if that worked for you.

Sorry for the late response.

I cannot get this to install. I dont have a lot of experience with Linux, see my try below: I still get an error. I'm following the install instructions on the github page.

Do it in two steps:

dpkg -i autopoweroff_4.0.0_all.deb

Then:

autopoweroff-gui_4.0.0_all.deb

I think what is happening is that dpkg attempts to install the gui before the server, thus it fails. It is not smart enough to realize that the next package is the server and it should start with it first. :(

SO,, should the second command line look like: sudo dpkg -i autopoweroff_4.0.0_all.deb ?? or sudo autopoweroff_4.0.0_all.deb

again, I'm sorry, I'm not experienced in linux, just trying to use this program. Thank you for being patient with me,.

Sorry for the long delays; very busy these days.

Try: sudo apt install autopoweroff*.deb

I noticed that in the documentation, it suggest dpkg. If you confirm that the command above works, I will fix the documentation.

Documentation fixed with commit https://github.com/deragon/autopoweroff/commit/0c55afe5707bf94d65d8f6e54e88bda18bbf805a. Since I have not received any feedback from @joesgarage, I am making the assumption that this issue has been resolved.
