Slapt-get / Dependency Management & Banshee
Hi:
I'd like to install Banshee and I'm going by these instructions. http://banshee.fm/download/ Code:
Slackware64-current: Install a package manager (slapt-get has been tested) Code:
bash-4.2# ls http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...urrent-936386/ Do I need to go and get each dependency from the SlackBuilds repo and install each one in a certain order? Looking at this entry in the //etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc Quote:

schmatzler, why don't you submit your banshee and related slackbuilds to SBo? |

Last time I checked, SBo already had some of the packages, too - but older versions. SBo is good for small and middle-sized projects, but when it gets bigger, maintaining the stuff also gets harder. And I also have libplist in there, which is included in Slackware, but my package is called libplist1 and is installed into /opt, so we get a new version for Apple users. That likely won't get accepted on SBo. |
Well, it's your decision...
But I do think that both you and SBo can benefit from each other. |

It's Open Source, if anybody feels up to the task of maintaining the stuff on there, just do it! :-) |

I don't have much experience building like you do so..... Is this how I use slapt-get with all of those dependencies? Code:
slapt-get install 'names of all the dependencies at once'? http://schmatzler.de/my_slackbuilds/...e/_README.html |
I added the repository to the /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc config file.
Code:
# Source for slapt-get. Can't right now- |

Ok schmatzler Banshee is installed.
Thank You. For some reason I'm having trouble with Banshee seeing my audio CD's- The screenshot shows the audio CD on my desktop. Does Banshee rip the songs from a CD's and keep them in a library? |
Upon inserting a audio CD Banshee doesn't automatically detect it.
Not sure why but it sure is annoying:- It's not a permission issue as I check on my groups and the user has prividgles to the cdrom drive. Code:
users lp floppy audio video cdrom plugdev power netdev scanner Quote:

I rebooted after installing Banshee.
Thought that would of completed the process by which the automatically detecting a CD and the initialization; etc... Evidently not- Restarted my Slack box again popped in the audio cd and Banshee saw it this time. Music is now ripped and held in the library. |

Edit: You are right, the Audio CD detection is a bit whacky. A reliable way to get a CD to show up is: 1. Put it in the drive 2. Wait for the popup in KDE to show up and open the CD in Dolphin 3. Close Dolphin, start Banshee, there it is! I will investigate that further. Edit #2: Enabling and disabling the support for Audio CD's in the settings also works reliably for me. Seems like it doesn't poll the CD drive all the time. |
I agree the audio detection was a tad wacky. I'd be interested in finding out the culprit for that.
Maybe Banshee didn't want to play nice with XFCE? During my Slack Installation I didn't install anything KDE. ✳Thank you for your time and help schmatzler -:)✳ |

Advice: better learn the basic Slackware commands for packages management before trying something more sophisticated. To know more: "man installpkg" |
