I can't install sonic-visualiser in Ubuntu 12.10, and I really need it. I've tried with the package on the official site http://www.sonicvisualiser.org/download.html, but Software Center can't open it. So, i've tried to add the PPA repository from https://launchpad.net/~rghvdberg/+archive/sv and to install it via terminal, but term say that it could not find the files. I don't know whtat to do now

Please include the error messages you received and add them into your question. I just downloaded the .deb file from the official site, and from my Download directory, I then ran the command sudo dpkg -i sonic-visualiser_2.0cc-1_i386.deb and the installation went fine and the application opens fine. I am running 12.04. – maggotbrain Dec 12 '12 at 12:25
I can also confirm that the 32 bit version installs fine from the official site and installs with gdebi. – Mik Dec 13 '12 at 14:56
Closed question since comment from OP indicates that this issue was a bug which has since been fixed by reinstalling from a fresh download from the site in question. – fossfreedom♦ Dec 26 '12 at 12:18

I got this error from Software Center while trying to Install Sonic Visualiser 64 bit in Ubuntu 12.04

enter image description here

May be this is the reason why you are not able to install in 12.10.

I suggest that you download the source, and just build from source.

Whoa! I simply retried to install the package from the official site, in order to post the error screenshot, and it worked, I don't know why, I don't know how. I've tried hundred times the last week, without results. However, thanks to everyone – Devid Dec 26 '12 at 12:07
