Re: KMid

hi again,
So I went ahead and tried to install Kmid myself using the thread I linked to above and I didn't have much luck. I could not find Kmid anywhere in the repositories even after installing medibuntu. I wound up building it from source, which you can download here:

http://www.kde.org/applications/multimedia/kmid/

If you have any questions on building a tar-ball from source, go ahead and ask. Kmid's a great little app, too.

Re: KMid

Tanks a lot. However, I do not see any download area at your link.

I'll try to build a .deb this weekend. I meant to get to it last night, but this crazy little thing called 'life (outside of Linux)' got in my way. lol :P

Re: KMid

Here you go:

http://ffn.gotdns.com/kmid_build_20110108-1_i386.deb

The file was too big to upload here, so I just tossed it up on my dev server. Let me know if you have any problems.

Can someone explain how I upload this .deb to a repository?

Re: KMid

Downloaded the deb package and installed it without problem.

However, when try to run kmid the following error occurs:

ul@ul-VirtualBox:~$ kmid
kmid: error while loading shared libraries: libkmidbackend.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any idea what I have missed?

>> Personal Package Archives for Ubuntu:

Personal Package Archives (PPA) allow you to upload Ubuntu source packages to be built and published as an apt repository by Launchpad. You can find out more about PPAs and how to use them in our help page.

>> MOTU Packages REVU:

What is REVU?

REVU (http://revu.ubuntuwire.com) is a web-based tool to which Ubuntu contributors can upload new packages for review by Ubuntu Developers for inclusion into Ubuntu.

Note: Unless your new package is Ubuntu-specific, you may find it easier and quicker to submit your package to Debian first. Once it's packaged for Debian, you can then request a sync to Ubuntu. This also has the advantage of making your package available to more users. For general instructions on getting your package into Debian, see the Debian mentors page. Note that there are many teams in Debian that can offer more focused mentorship. For example, if you have a new Python module you want to get into Debian and Ubuntu, you should begin your journey with the Debian Python Modules Team (DPMT).

If your new package is Ubuntu-specific, or for some other reason you can't get your package into Debian first, then read on about the Ubuntu REVU system...

hmmm... not too sure. Let's see if the file exists:

sudo updatedb && locate libkmid

Rog131, thank you!

Re: KMid


ul@ul-VirtualBox:~$ sudo updatedb && locate libkmid

returns with

/usr/lib/libkmidbackend.so.1.0.0

what does it mean?

[aullrich60]

Re: KMid

just tried to copy libkmidbackend.so.1.0.0 to libkmidbackend.so.1

.. and it works, KMid is running now, thanks a lot
