Qtractor deb installer [ for > 0.9.36 ]
11 November, 2023 - 22:15 — Mela
Hi there Best Rui,
Please if possible, would you be so kind to provide or add a qtractor installer for the debian based linux distro's ?
Being a dummy, not using the appImage but prefering a qtractor_0.9.36.deb installer....
Didn't find it at : https://www.rncbc.org/drupal/node/2485
Please make my day :-)
Kindly, Thank you ! Luc.

ok did find it here,
ok did find it here, installed succesfully : https://build.opensuse.org/projects/home:rncbc/packages/qtractor/reposit...
( or here for Debian 12 ( right column ) : https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:rncbc/qtractor
re. Qtractor deb installer [ for > 0.9.36 ]
you should have looked at the repos
maybe a better option for all the debian based distros are one of the Applications PPA's (https://launchpad.net/~rncbc)
eg. "Applications (focal)"; add this line to the apt sources.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/rncbc/apps-focal/ubuntu focal mainthen run:
sudo apt-get updateprobably it will complain about a missing signing key; as of this date the signing key ID is 74407499CD30F338; you may now grab it from the ubuntu server and add to your key-ring, like this:
sudo gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 74407499CD30F338sudo gpg -a --export 74407499CD30F338 | sudo apt-key add -sudo gpg -a --export 74407499CD30F338 | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ppa-rncbc.ascyou might get an "apt-key is deprecated" warning but you may ignore that for now; you can finally run again:sudo apt-get updateand from now on you'll get all the updates of yours truly qstuff* (including qtractor, ofc.) ;)
nb. note that I am no debian expert whatsoever; some debian purists will say that the above will turn your system into a frankendebian; so please go at your own risk ;) just comment out or remove the sources.list line added a above, if and when you feel it's enough ;)
hth.
cheers
EDIT: removed old apt-key deprecation warnings.
Dear Mr Rui,
Dear Mr Rui,
thank you for this reply and explanation, its helpfull, especially in setting up my frankendebian :-)
may I ask, just curious ; is there a specific reason why you use Opensuse ( and not Debian for example )?
re. opensuse vs. debian
I adopted SuSE 6.2 as my first serious Linux platform of choice since the beginning of the century; bought all the box-sets of it through 9.3 until openSUSE 10 appeared under Novell auspices; I am currently on Tumbleweed and confess I cannot be happier than ever :)
must tell that, before the openSUSE inception, that I've tried several other distros: Mandrake, Fedora, to tell a few and of course Debian.
Indeed, I've tried Debian a few (too many) times, only to get my system utterly unusable every time, after just a few days since install and whenever tried to upgrade some latest but necessary development stuff: the dpkg/apt/deb package management and dependency resolution is/was just tyrannic and a dang horrible nightmare, especially if you want to be on the most cutting and bleeding edge of things; also tried Arch a few times, just out of a whim, but it didn't made me so confy as I am now with TW (both are so called rolling releases)...
so, in a sentence, I feel at home with openSUSE Tumbleweed; why should I change?
that's why.
cheers
repository for debian 12 based distro's
Hello Rui,
I had some problems with theming in Qtractor 9.37 on my fresh mxlinux 23.1.
I suspect its because using the ubuntu focal main repo here above ( using QT5 instead of QT6 ).
Shame on me.
Could this be the reason the color theme isn't working ?
The flatpak version I did try on my mx23.1 is fine using the wonton soup color theme.
Is there an repo for debian 12 based distro's, and what key do I have to use.
A short reply with the steps like writen above would be very helpfull !
Thank you in advance.
re. repository for debian 12 based distro's
hi,
you may have better luck if you use the "Applications (jammy)" PPA, instead of the old "focal" one (which is going EoL in a few months anyway).
cheers
Thank you, that did the trick
Thank you, that did the trick.
Qtracktor 9.37.8, Qt 6.4.2, Color theme Wonton Soup / Style theme Fusion running and looking great on MX23.1 KDE.
Thank you for this insight
Thank you for this insight story, interesting.

So you need a key to jammy?
re. So you need a key to jammy?
aha jammy, not jam :)
no, the key is exactly the same for all PPAs in https://launchpad.net/~rncbc, present, past and future ;)
hth.
