How do I install ppstream? I tried getting the files and installing it. PPStream for GNU/Linux Ubuntu 8.04+ Distro. I get:

Cannot install'mplayer:i386'

I also tried going to Software Centre > search > mpayer installing that then try it again. I still get the same message.

I search on askubuntu.com for ppstream and also Google all I get is http://thanhsiang.org/faqing/node/167 or How to install ppstream on 12.04?

The following deb file seem to work, ignore the error and you should be good to go

wget https://launchpadlibrarian.net/58988381/ppstream_1.0.0-3lucid2_amd64.deb   
sudo dpkg -i ppstream_1.0.0-3lucid2_amd64.deb

  • sudo apt-get purge ppstream, then try again.

  • use apt-get -f install to solve dependency problems. After that your program is fully installed

I successfully downloaded and installed PPStream. You can use either:

sudo apt-get install gdebi-core
wget http://download.ppstream.com/linux/PPStream.deb
sudo gdebi PPStream.deb

or

sudo apt-get install libqt4-core libqt4-gui libqt4-network libqt4-webkit libqt4-xml mplayer
wget http://download.ppstream.com/linux/PPStream.deb
sudo dpkg -i PPStream.deb

Before starting it, you have to do the following:

sudo /opt/pps/bin/PPStream  ## otherwise fuse won't work
sudo killall PPStream
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.pps

  • @user238762 it depends on how you installed.

Have you tried enter in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install mplayer:i386*deb

and this might work fine this way.
