Nightingale Installation

[bobstead]

I'm new to Mint, and have just installed Nightingale, but it won't run (although no error messages). Tried Songbird, it loaded but failed duer to missing acc codecs. Tried loading a bunch of codecs but still get same error messages. Any advice re getting Nightingale to launch?

From where have you installed it?

Hi. I got ppa:nightingaleteam/nightingale-release from getnightinmgale.com & added this to software manager & packsage now appears in software manager & in synaptic. Ran installer, which has added all of the repository sources etc but I've obviously failed to understand & do some core part odf this process correctly.

When you write it didn't give any error messages, did you run it from the terminal? If not, you should. Error messages about it not being able to start will only show on the terminal.

Perhaps there is a clue there, though looking at the topic http://forum.getnightingale.com/thread-661.html it doesn't look promising. Basically the Nightingale developers say they don't support Ubuntu based distros. You may try using the nightly PPA, for a somewhat newer version that perhaps fixes something: https://launchpad.net/~nightingaleteam/ ... le-nightly. I'd recommend you first try running it from the terminal though, and see if you get any errors that way.

Well, being a newbie, I'm not sure if I did this right or not, but I certaily don't understand the output!!

Then time to try the other PPA I think. See here the same error: https://github.com/nightingale-media-pl ... issues/184. Seems to indicate the fix is in nightingale-nightly PPA. I hope that fixes it, though I'm not happy with you getting an error for Unity while you aren't using that. So I hope the other PPA works without you needing to use Unity.

Add the other PPA like you did the first. Then open Update Manager, and if needed press the Refresh button, and an upgrade for Nightingale should be available from the new PPA.

Thanks a lot. Using the nightly build worked wonders, it prompted an upgrade & al's now working fine. Thanks.
