Unable to install 2.10.5-1 on Xubuntu 17.10

Hey there all. I was able to install the latest version on my Windows box at work, but cannot do the same on my Linux computer at home. I'm on Xubuntu 17.10. I have downloaded dcpomatic_2.10.5-1_amd64.deb to my Downloads folder (I originally tried opening the deb with "Software", what I assume is the successor to Ubuntu Software Center, to no avail). I then cd to that folder in a terminal and ran
Code: Select all
sudo aptitude install dcpomatic_2.10.5-1_amd64.deb
The response I get is
Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "dcpomatic_2.10.5-1_amd64.deb"
Unable to apply some actions, aborting
It is absolutely there. I also tried dragging and dropping it into the terminal, just to make sure I wasn't misspelling it. No luck. Here's "ls" while in my Downloads folder:
Code: Select all
ricardo@ricardo-home:~/Downloads$ ls
dcpomatic_2.10.5-1_amd64.deb ffmpeg-git-20161204-64bit-static ffmpeg-git-64bit-static.tar.xz Fonts opendcp_0.30.0_xubuntu_14.04_amd64.deb QuickPar-0.9.1.0.exe Spotlight
It's there. Where do I even begin with this?

I tried copying the deb to my home folder, to eliminate any confusion about its location... no dice.

Any thoughts on this?

You may need to use the
test version on Ubuntu 17.10. On the command line
Code: Select all
dpkg -i dcpomatic-whatever.deb
apt -f install
usually works for me.

When you download a .deb file for installation in a debian based system, you might want to use carl's suggestion (first line installs, second installs dependencies), or set it as executable and use gdebi to follow instructions and (also) take care of dependencies.
Since there isn't a repository for installing DCPom and you haven't registered one with the software sources of your system, using aptitude will probably come back "empty-handed" regardless of any installation file you have in any folder.
If you want to use an executable or installation file with terminal, though, you might prefer to use
./filename instead of just
filename.
All that is more of Ubuntu/Linux specific, the way I see it, than DCPom.

Well, I got further than ever before using dpkg first. Looks like there are all sorts of dependency issues. Where would I find the latest beta? thanks.

Nevermind... found it. Didn't see the link at first.

That seems to have worked. Still got dependency issues listed, but they appear to be non-critical, at least for now.

I'm having similar issues with this again. I'm not sure at what point dcpomatic got removed (I'm assuming during a major Xubuntu release), but I'm unable to install the latest version.
Code: Select all
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of dcpomatic:
dcpomatic depends on libicu67; however:
Package libicu67 is not installed.
dcpomatic depends on libnettle8; however:
Package libnettle8 is not installed.
dcpomatic depends on libx264-160; however:
Package libx264-160 is not installed.
I've added the archive repository for Ubuntu, where these packages appear to be located, but they are not populating. There has to be an easier way. Any thoughts? Is there an older version of dcpomatic that I should try instead? Thanks.
