Easy setup guide for Ubuntu / Debian (DEB packages and repo)

[rag74]

Sorry in advance for my slightly stupid question. I'm new at Ubuntu system, that's why i appreciate indeed your complete deb package for PS3MEDIASERVER!!! The question is: i saw the paths of the folders and files you posted but, though i found it, i can't get to put anything inside the "plugins" folder. I assume my question is more related to my bad knowledge on ubuntu but maybe you can help me. Thanks!

/usr is system directory, you should copy files here as root (super user):

Code: Select all

sudo cp plugin.jar /usr/lib/ps3mediaserver/plugins/

Thank you very much for your help! I´ll try it this afternoon back at home! Thanks again

Hi,

I'm running a (relatively) clean 12.04 installation (64bit), and when I add the repo and try to install PS3MediaServer, I get a list of 249 libs and other apps that need to be downloaded and installed! Is this normal? They all seem to be 32bit libs (ending *i386) - can't it use 64bit libs, when installed?

Many thanks,

Daniel

That's strange. Please do

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install ps3mediaserver

via terminal and copy-paste what it wants to install.

happy.neko,

I was being adventurous, so I have already accepted the installs

Any ideas?

I have no idea why so many libs were installed, specifically i386 versions. Package requires only flac, jre and ia32 and they works on 11.10 without any i386 dependencies.
I see that openjdk-6-jre was installed. Maybe 12.04 uses other jre by default and that the reason behind problems. Please run

Code: Select all

update-java-alternatives  -l

[ScoobyDan]

happy_neko,

That command returns

Code: Select all

java-1.6.0-openjdk-amd64 1061 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-amd64

So, I installed java-1.7.0, then ran

Code: Select all

sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64

This just resulted in a load of

Code: Select all

update-java-alternatives: jdk alternative does not exist

errors

[ScoobyDan]

Hmmm... When I started my PC today, I tried PS3 Media Server, and it worked flawlessly! No errors in the log, and the PS3 picked it up straight away.

Still confused why it needed so many 32bit libs, but at least it is now working properly

Great!
Maybe some bugs with 12.04. It is still early beta thought.
