After installing SYLT Editor by running its package file, I can't seem to run it from anywhere. It's neither been added to the start menu, nor is it possible to run it from command line. Where can I find it?

p.s. content of typescript:

Script started on Sun 16 Aug 2015 04:23:49 PM IRDT [01;32mmeysam@meysam-pc[01;34m /media/meysam/Data/Software/Media/LyricsEditor $[00m ./SYLT\ Editor\ 1.1.5108.package

rm: cannot remove '/usr/local/share/applications/sylteditor.desktop': No such file or directory rm: cannot remove '/media/meysam/Data/Software/Media/LyricsEditor/autopackage.2818912610/meta/@compuphase.com/sylteditor:1.1.5108': Directory not empty [01;32mmeysam@meysam-pc[01;34m /media/meysam/Data/Software/Media/LyricsEditor $[00m Script done on Sun 16 Aug 2015 04:25:27 PM IRDT

And the final window: enter image description here

The content of /usr/local/share/applications/sylteditor.desktop file:

  • start the installation again in a terminal and paste the output into your question. To do that, go in the folder where you have extracted sylteditor-1.1.5108.tar.gz, start the command script and after that ./SYLT\ Editor\ 1.1.5108.package. After the installation, stop the script command via Ctrl-D and post the content of the file typescript

Install via

cd
wget http://www.compuphase.com/software/sylteditor-1.1.5108.tar.gz
tar xf sylteditor-1.1.5108.tar.gz
./SYLT\ Editor\ 1.1.5108.package

after the installation is finished, the desktop file is in

~/.local/share/applications/sylteditor.desktop

or

/usr/local/share/applications/sylteditor.desktop

or

/usr/share/applications/sylteditor.desktop

depending on your installation method (with sudo password or without).


To show the executable, run the command below

grep 'Exec.*/bin/sylt' ~/.local/share/applications/sylteditor.desktop

or

grep 'Exec.*/bin/sylt' /usr/local/share/applications/sylteditor.desktop

or

grep 'Exec.*/bin/sylt' /usr/share/applications/sylteditor.desktop

SYLT editor is a 32-bit application. Therefore you have to install some i386 libraries.

sudo apt-get install libwxbase2.8-0:i386
sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-0:i386
sudo apt-get install libwxgtk-media2.8-0:i386

  • Thank you. I finally got to run it. The problem though is that it alarms with this error at startup: "Could not find a suitable video sink (error 0: Success)". And fails to open any audio file.

  • That could be a new question…
