[SOLVED] Slapt-get / Dependency Management & Banshee

Ztcoracat · 03-03-2015, 08:51 PM

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)
Enter the repository into the configuration file of the package manager. For slapt-get, this is: SOURCE=http://schmatzler.de/my_slackbuilds/banshee/:OFFICIAL

Install all listed packages: Cython ORBit2 avahi banshee banshee-community-extensions boo cracklib dbus-sharp dbus-sharp-glib gdata-sharp gio-sharp gkeyfile-sharp gnome-disk-utility gstreamer1 gst-plugins-base1 gst-plugins-good1 gst-plugins-bad1 gst-plugins-ugly1 gst-libav1 gtk-sharp gtk-sharp-beans gudev-sharp lame libgdiplus libgpod-sharp libimobiledevice libmodplug libplist1 libpwquality libunique libwebp mono mono-addins mono-zeroconf newtonsoft-json soundtouch taglib-sharp taoframework usbmuxd webkitgtk
The banshee package provides the stable 2.6.x series with gstreamer 1.x backports.

I've never used slapt-get but as you can see it's installed.

Code:

bash-4.2# ls

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:

# Source for slapt-get.
SOURCE=http://software.jaos.org/slackpacks/14.1-x86_64/:OFFICIAL

If I add this SOURCE=http://schmatzler.de/my_slackbuilds/banshee/:OFFICIAL will I need to uncomment the other SOURCE that's already in the file listed?

No. You don't have to download all the packages manually, that's what slapt-get is for. Also, the order of installing them doesn't matter.

No. Just follow the instructions given on banshee.fm - I wrote them to be the most easy solution for installing Banshee.

This makes it sound as if Slackware does not have one... come on!

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

Yes, but slackpkg can't handle multiple sources by default.

It's too much work. Also, I like to build my own versions of gstreamer - depending on how you build them, banshee doesn't support all file formats and that's just too much of a hassle to track on 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.

solarfields · 03-04-2015, 03:23 AM

Well, it's your decision...

But I do think that both you and SBo can benefit from each other.

No, I'm pretty sure SBo would make things way more complicated for me.

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

Thanks for confirming that I don't have to install all those dependencies manually.

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'?

Nevermind, I found the cmd here on this page-
http://schmatzler.de/my_slackbuilds/...e/_README.html

Ztcoracat · 03-04-2015, 03:01 PM

I added the repository to the /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc config file.

Code:

# Source for slapt-get.
SOURCE=http://software.jaos.org/slackpacks/14.1-x86_64/:OFFICIAL
SOURCE=http://schmatzler.de/my_slackbuilds/banshee/:OFFICIAL
# Packages on a CD/DVD.
# SOURCE=file:///mnt/cdrom/:OFFICIAL

I'll run the slapt-get cmd this evening and let you know if it works.
Can't right now-

Ztcoracat · 03-04-2015, 06:42 PM

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?

Ztcoracat · 03-04-2015, 08:21 PM

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

When I choose to "Import Media" I'm getting this error which doesn't make sense because the audio CD is in the CDROM drive.

Quote:

could not mount Audio Disc
Drive /dev/sr0 does not contain audio files

What do I have to do to get Banshee to see and add the songs on my audio CD's?

Ztcoracat · 03-04-2015, 08:45 PM

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.

I don't know exactly why that happened - but I'm guessing Banshee uses gvfs for various mounting tasks and that has to be run and populate $HOME/.gvfs, hence the reboot needed. I'm glad it's working out for you now

Yes, it can rip CD's automatically in FLAC, MP3, OGG or WAV. The format and bitrate settings can be configured in the sources window.

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.

Ztcoracat · 03-05-2015, 03:05 PM

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 -

First download the package from here in some directory then run the command installpkg from the same directory.

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