Description

Dear Audacious Developers and maintainers,

Thank you for creating this wonderful music application. I have been using this for years, but I prefer the QT version. I am currently using Linux KDE Neon based on Ubuntu 18.04 and various Linux Mint 19.x systems also based on Ubuntu 18.04 using the webupd8 PPA, and I cannot find or get the QT version to work anymore? Can you please provide detailed instructions or explain to me how I can get this QT version? I even tried using various console terminal commands with the --qt which they do not recognize?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you and yours!

Best regards,
Phil (phd21)

#1 Updated by John Lindgren over 5 years ago

  • Tracker changed from Bug to Support

Last I knew, the WebUpd8 builds included the Qt interface, but maybe that has changed? You should ask the WebUpd8 repository maintainer. Unfortunately, I am not proficient in publishing Debian packages myself.

I'm closing this ticket since this tracker is the upstream project and isn't responsible for packaging issues/availability.

Hi Audacious and John Lindgren,

Thank you for your replies.

Okay, I was not sure how to file a bug report with the Webupd8 PPA on launchpad. It was a little bit of a pain (PIA) to find out how to go through the launchpad bug report system, but I finally was able to do so. I know that previously I could install Audacious and the QT worked fine just not with version 3.10?

How can I get the QT version now? Do I have to manually compile myself?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours and everyone else involved with Audacious.

Regards,
Phil (phd21)

I checked the binary from WebUpd8 and it has Qt enabled. You ought to be able to just run "audacious --qt" if that's what you have installed.

What is the output of:

audacious --version
md5sum `which audacious`

And what happens when you run "audacious --qt" from a terminal?

P.S. I deleted two inactive accounts, phd21 and pjd21, that looked like yours.

Hi John,

Thank you for your replies.

I booted into Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon based on Ubuntu 18.04 and installed Audacious from the PPA and it has all the interfaces including the QT. But, my KDE Neon does not? I purged all Audacious packages even the hidden user configuration folder, reinstalled from the PPA, and I still do not have the QT interface?

audacious --version
Audacious 3.10 (Ubuntu package)

md5sum `which audacious`
d41232ff84954167a0866de34507f9fd /usr/bin/audacious

audacious --qt
Unknown option: --qt
Usage: audacious [OPTION] ... [FILE] ...

Thank you for trying to help me out on this...

Best regards,
Phil (phd21)

#8 Updated by Phil D over 5 years ago

Hi John,

I think I just found the problem with my Audacious QT. I downloaded the webupd8 bionic deb files from the PPA and installed them from the console terminal prompt and it worked. There appears to be a conflict with another PPA that also has Audacious but without the QT, Panda Jim "ubuntuhandbook1/apps" and my system thinks that is a newer version?

http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntuhandbook1/apps/ubuntu

I installed that PPA for another application and it conflicted with my Audacious installation from webupd8. I will disable that PPA.

Thanks again for your help John.

Here are the results from the audacious deb file installation:
