I am trying to install this .deb package: http://ardupilot.com/downloads/?did=112
When I try to install it from the Software Center, I get this error:
Cannot install 'libqt5gui5:i386'
It also mentions trying to use sudo dpkg-i
.
Here is what I have tried:
I followed this (which I thought was an install) from the terminal
Result: It seemed to complete ok, but when I search for
ardupilot
nothing with a GUI comes up, but there is noardupilot
program directory in my home folder.I have tried
sudo dpkg-i apm_planner2_latest_ubuntu_trusty.deb
Result: First: I tried typing as is above from my root directory, but it seems to want to be in the correct folder. It is located in my downloads folder. I seem to have trouble pointing the
dpkg-i
to the correct directory. I have typedcd ~/downloads
and it says it does not exist in/home/<user name>/downloads
. I would have expected it to go to/home/downloads
.I also tried another package installer "Synaptic", but it would not install .deb packages.
I have also tried to run repairs on packages using some terminal commands (I forgot what they were). They seemed to run successful, but the package still wont install.
Basically I am to the point where I have tried everything I can think of to get this to install, but its not working. Please help!
