Hiyall,
I was trying to change a few things to my liking. Got most of it done but in the process it broke the OS 3 TIMES!
It’s up and running again.
I went to ‘Package Installed’ and clicked Deadbeef to install. It told me that it works however on going into Applications/Multimedia, it’s not there.
I downloaded the app from the DeadBeef website, unzipped it, went to Terminal, did sudo apt update, sudo apt install (copy/pasted file) and still nothing.I can actually run it from the Downloads folder but that’s not convenient. How do i get an icon set on the taskbar?

::hi there
I was trying to change a few things to my liking.
On antiX or on a single program/app?
Got most of it done but in the process it broke the OS 3 TIMES!
Can you pls describe what was broken and how you could notice it
It’s up and running again.
Is this a new and fresh install or a repaired one?
I went to ‘Package Installed’ and clicked Deadbeef to install. It told me that it works however on going into Applications/Multimedia, it’s not there.
Very strange: I went to package installer, I wrote in the search bar “deadbeef” and the program was immediately proposed to me.
How do i get an icon set on the taskbar?
In case you have FT10 installed, it is very easy.
My suggestion: go to package installer, search for “deadbeef”, then you uninstall the program and then re-install it following the best path.
Please note that deadbeef is also present in the synaptic package manager.good luck

::Hi, I am not quite sure I understand what your problems are:
and still nothing
0) Could you post a link to the page from which you downloaded Deadbeef?
1) Did you download a DEB package?
If not, then it is possible that you have downloaded a zipped folder with binary that is supposed to be called/run using the local file.
2) [If yes to 1)] Is the Deadbeef correctly installed in the system (and recognized as such by the packaging tools dpkg/apt[-get|itude])?
Post output of:
apt-cache search deadbeef; apt-cache policy deadbeefI almost always use custom A) keyboard shortcuts or B) running commands from the terminal.
I know that there are posts on this forum about *installed* applications not showing in the menu.
Please, do search for them.July 4, 2022 at 12:03 pm #85568Member

::Sybok, Was it something you said? Yes.
I went back to the Deadbeef site and noticed that there is only one .deb file.
I downloaded and sudo’d it and it and voila, it works!Live-USB = zzz-IceWM-antiX21-runit-64-base: static persistence
