I’m Back!

[Member Peter Linu]

I tried all the rest and this de is the best. antiX-32bit-Basic.
I have two questions:
1. Before I left someone gave me terminal code to get synaptic: sudo apt install synaptic. It doesn’t work. I get:’synaptic has no installation candidate’. Would someone kindly give me the correct directions, please?

2. DeaDBeeF.
I downloaded it from the website and un-archived it. Didn’t work. Went back to the website and the fine print said that it may need some dependencies;
GTK2 >= 2.16, and/or GTK3 >= 3.10.0, GLIBC >= 2.7, xlib (libx11), libasound2.
How do I get/install them?

2a. I then noticed that the panel contains ‘Software Installer’. I went into ‘Audio’ and clicked on DeaDBeeF. It seemed to install because it showed the terminal adding stuff.

I then looked for DeaDBeeF everywhere in the menu without success.

Can someone please help?

“sxxxxxxc has no installation candidate”

sound like someone just forgot to “sudo apt update” before attempting to install the package

“It seemed to install”

okay here’s how to check….. “apt policy deadbeef”

@Peter Linu
I apologize for being so sparing in my previous response.

Always, before to use the command apt install (or apt-get install), or apt upgrade , etc
we should do:
sudo apt update

good luck!

Dear Madibi,
Thank you VERY much. I’ve learnt a valuable lesson. Also both Synaptic and DeaDBeeF are both now working!
