• Google-Earth-Pro & SimpleScreenRecorder to UbuntuStudio?

    From bad sector@21:1/5 to All on Sun Sep 18 01:00:24 2022

    I want to add GE-Pro to the secondary internet battlegroup
    (right panel below xeyes) and SimpleScreenRecorder to the
    secondary studio battlegroup (bottom right). The icons are
    already in place but I have some issues

    On-click the (presumably flatpack) GE-Pro.deb file I
    downloaded from google

    google-earth-pro-stable_current_amd64.deb

    is handed over to the Package Installer which then
    throws a fit for unsatisfiable dependencies with
    no details.

    As far as SimpleScreenRecorder for ubuntu I can't
    even find it.

    I'm new to 'buntus, for example GE works best with
    the nvidia driver for my card, how do I find out
    if it's installed, or install it if it is not?

    22.04 Ubuntu under Wayland will not work with SimpleScreenRecorder. You
    have to force the screen back to X11 by either selection or modifying
    the config file.

    I used to have Google Earth, but it ended up breaking my system and
    vowed never to install it again.

    No idea, that's one of the reasons I ended up doing fresh installs on
    all of my machines. It was one of the packages that was broken. There
    is a chance I may try a reinstallation at some point, but not before I
    just did a backup beforehand.

    Broken packages are really easy to fix, no reinstallation needed.

    Yes, I've come across that since my fresh installs. However, I think
    the fresh installs were needed anyway. I've seen much improvement
    watching video, especially live via the net, and my audio is no longer
    acting strangely. Before the reinstallations, no matter how I set the
    audio, it would default to headphones out instead of speakers upon
    reboot. I never did find the solution to that. After the fresh
    installs, it was no longer an issue.

    22.04 by native installation isn't quite compatible with a couple of my programs and had to switch back to X11 to get correct operation. I tried
    Plasma KDE, but I started finding issues with it and uninstalled it
    (with difficulty but it did seem to go ok in the end). My biggest
    concern and task was getting displaycal (a program that does monitor
    color calibration with a spyder) installed, but now that's working
    flawlessly. So hopefully good now with 22.04.

    Should be PulseAudio. Use pavucontrol to change the output device.

    I don't know how to test if my UbuntuStudio-22.04 uses wayland (or why I would want wayland) but I managed to install and test SimpleScreenRecorder as well as what I hope are the correct drivers form my nVidia GT640 card. The google-earth-pro.deb package
    still fails to install with the same dependency message that gives absolutely no details.

    About the only things that really mean anything to me by way of reasons to have a computer at all are music/guitar studio activities of which SimpleScreenRecorder is a part, and flying the GE simulator. Dropping these I might as well junk the whole box
    so fortunately it's 1 down & 1 to go.

    That's the same file I tried with QApt Package Installer which failed, it still fails. Once I pointed gdebi to the file it installed it in seconds.
    So how come the QApt finds dependency problems while the official
    (installed with the distro!) Muon Package Manager can't even find GE?


    IDK. I only work here :-)

    Distro buildmeisters are the key to quality.
    Look at how Klaus got the early Knoppix knocked into shape.

    The right people make all the difference.

    22.04 Ubuntu under Wayland will not work with SimpleScreenRecorder.
    You have to force the screen back to X11 by either selection or

    I used to have Google Earth, but it ended up breaking my system and
    vowed never to install it again.

    I don't know how to test if my UbuntuStudio-22.04 uses wayland (or why

    SimpleScreenRecorder as well as what I hope are the correct drivers
    form my nVidia GT640 card. The google-earth-pro.deb package still fails
    to install with the same dependency message that gives absolutely no
    details.

    About the only things that really mean anything to me by way of reasons
    to have a computer at all are music/guitar studio activities of which
    SimpleScreenRecorder is a part, and flying the GE simulator. Dropping

    If you think you're poorly done by, I'd start by running a Debian,
    then when you're in a vanilla Ubuntu, notice how all the
    wheels on the rig are "properly greased". Canonical really
    does contribute to the comfort features. Even if their
    commercial aspirations are a negative to usability.

    When I'm in a Debian, I keep cutting myself on sharp edges.
    Which is inevitable in a volunteer operation, where you
    can barely keep upstream alive.

    To give an example, on Ubuntu, I didn't have NVDEC and NVENC
    in FFMPEG, for accelerated video processing. I built FFMPEG
    from source, using the source repository in the Canonical tree.
    I turned on the -dev packages, in the usual way. Now, normally,
    when you're building FFMPEG, the NVidia part of the -dev
    additions, is a bloody mess. You'd probably waste a day or two
    figuring out what is wrong. The build process does not print
    on the screen, what is wrong.

    The last time I built FFMPEG, the Ubuntu tree had everything
    properly aligned for that build. You could tell that someone
    was shadowing me, had built FFMPEG at Canonical as I was, and
    they *made sure* the libraries for the driver I was using,
    everything lined up.

    And that to me, is quality.

    The thing is, they keep track of licensing. They're not allowed
    to ship non-FOSS by philosophy. So a manager at Canonical says
    "hey, you can't enable that NVidia feature in FFMPEG", but
    "you can set it up some someone can build it for themselves".
    And that is obviously what they did.

    Not only did they align the packages properly, they also adhered
    to the miserably complicated licensing classification system.
    How many people do you know, with that kind of time on their hands ? :-)

    There will always be something broken in the tree, as there are
    never enough hours in the day. But when something gets attention,
    they really fix it. Why, some day, they could even fix Snap.

    When I decided that I would not expose myself to any monopoly I opted
    for two different desktops: Plasma and XFCE. I might even reel Gnome in
    some day. By way of inits I wanted a mix and definitely not everything
    on systemd. That's how I ended up with Devuan as my stake in the Debian
    tree. Didn't know at the time that Ubuntu was also Debian-based, but I
    did know that a relative of mine who works for IBM swears by Ubuntu and
    set THAT up for his mother on her tablet with the intent of creating a fail-safe system for her (she's in her 90's). But as I said, MY
    experience with it is next to none, installed it what seems like only
    weeeks ago, maybe a couple of months.

    http://packages.linuxmint.com/list.php?release=vanessa Download the

    It is not in Ubuntu repository.

    You can download
    http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/import/g/google-earth-pro-stable/google-earth-pro-stable_7.3.4.8573-r0_amd64.deb


    $ cd directory

    $ sudo apt install --simulate /google-earth-pro-stable_7.3.4.8573-r0_amd64.deb
                                  ^ '.' here

    I was trying

    sudo apt-get install google-earth-pro

    it's all done now, thanks for the input :-)

    BTW, if you are cd'd into the folder containing the .deb file then why
    would you need ./ ?

    BTW, if you are cd'd into the folder containing the .deb file then why would you need  ./ ?

    The one with a dot is an absolute path, the one
    without the dot is a relative path.

    Tools that insist on an absolute path, they do that because
    they want to be absolutely sure you're not "picking up a fake"
    that was plopped into the $CWD surreptitiously. After all,
    the command you're using is elevated, and this gives opportunities
    to breach the defenses of the system.

    Before the reinstallations, no matter how I set the

    Should be PulseAudio. Use pavucontrol to change the output device.

    Actually, that very thing, PulseAudio, is what I had installed with
    18.04 and had the defaulting to headphones issue. I never did solve it.
    Other than that, it worked fine. I didn't install it this time. If I
    need it, I'll consider it.
