Audacious - OLD, PLEASE USE GITHUB DISCUSSIONS/ISSUES

Adding Audacious to flathub is on my todo, but it involves dealing with flatpak, so it is pretty far down the list.

If you're too impatient to wait for an official package from your distribution, and too busy to create one for yourself, you could find a PPA and install Audacious from there.

Believe me I have tried a couple times during the last 3 months.

https://launchpad.net/~nilarimogard/+archive/ubuntu/webupd8

The latest version available on webupd8 is currently 3.10, I couldn't find 4.0.1 anywhere.

So I followed the instructions from the INSTALL file in the audacious-4.0.1.tar.bz2 package (ran ./configure* and then make), which broke the previous install and it's not launching anymore**.

So is the INSTALL file giving the thorough instructions?

• When I run ./configure i get the following results in the end:
  

    D-Bus support:                          yes
    GTK+ support:                           no
    Qt support:                             yes
    Valgrind analysis support:              no
  

  
  Should I install those separately and then run the make command? If so which versions of GTK+ and Valgrind is required?

• I tried reinstalling both from apt and webupd8 repos to no avail.

Tried it but I keep encountering the following error:
(I've tried running apt --fix-broken and apt install -f as well)

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libaudqt5_4.0.1-1build1~ubuntu18.04_amd64.deb (--unpack):

but looks like there are a lot dependency conflicts:

Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems.
Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f

(Did you forget to install audacious-plugins?)

Nice! I've been using Debian-based systems for over a decade and I've never seen that one before.

I don't know what you've done to your system, but you might want to consider starting over from scratch at this point.

I installed from that PPA onto a Linux Mint system (Ubuntu 18.04 base) and had no dependency issues, but it sounds like it would be best for you to stick with the official repositories and just be patient until those are updated.

😁

At this point I'm not able to run audacious at all, even the official versions (3.9)

By scratch you mean clean OS install?
The problem occurred exactly after I tried ./configure and make based on the instructions provided in the INSTALL file, so perhaps, there must be some way to revert those specific changes without reverting all the changes (i.e. OS reinstall)?

Appreciate the help!

You could try ./configure and then "make uninstall", that should undo a previous "make install".

Thanks, make uninstall did resolve the issue and now I've successfully installed 4.0.1 from ubuntuhandbook1 repo.

Good day. I've build initial Flatpak package. All works and almost all plugins built and works. Here https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/1470 Expect upstream involment, hope this could interested you.
