Cannot use gdebi to download the .deb file #4

Closed ProxyPlayerHD closed 1 year ago

ProxyPlayerHD commented 1 year ago

i've mentioned this once on the 6502 forum, but i still cannot get the gdebi command to work. i got an Ubuntu VM, updated/upgraded everything, installed gdebi via the sudo apt install gdebi-core command mentioned in the user guide, and then tried to run the sudo gdebi calypsi-nut-3.6.6.deb command, but all it does is give the "file not found" error.

I assume you're supposed to replace the nut in the package name with 65816 (even though the user guide never mentions that, maybe look into that if it should?) but even then i still get the same error.

so what am i missing here? how are you supposed to actually install it from the terminal? as a work around i've just downloaded the file manually from google drive

The gdebi command is for installing a local .deb file that you have downloaded, it will not fetch it from the server. If that is not the issues, can you try which gdebi and see if it can be found as an executable, maybe it is installed in a directory that is not in your search path.

oooh, well the wording in the user guide makes it sound like it would both download and install it because that's how commands like apt-get install or apt install usually work. maybe it should be made a more clearer in the user guide by saying that you first have to download the .deb file manually, and then run the command on it.

I will update the user guide to make it more clear. Thank you for pointing it out.
