I have 3 older setups that I really don't want to replace yet and just finished my server with mysql. Anyway to installed? I have searched and I get some commands but they all either install 17.3 or say that 16.1 doesnt exist (which I am looking at the repository, it says it is there). I am new to ubuntu, so any help would be appreciated.

You would have to compile from source.

Ok thank you. I will start researching that.

@wsnipex Looking at how to compile, I have source for 16.1, trying to get all the dependencies seems like this is going to be a dead route for me. Any pointers you can make?

Thank you @fritsch I have went through that and read it, I need to get home and look which ones gave me errors, but 3 of those gave me errors saying there was no bionic beaver information (I forget the exact error, my apologies, I am new to linux). 

I know this one gave me errors;

We also supply a Makefile in lib/taglib to make it easy to install into /usr/local.
1. $ sudo apt-get remove libtag1-dev
$ make -C lib/taglib
$ sudo make -C lib/taglib install

and this one would error out but I think it had something to do with formating;

As mentioned in the readme this is for Ubuntu <= 12.04.

Post the error message, otherwise we don't know what went wrong.

Ok I compiled and got it working. Loaded new sources and got my library up. I setup Mysql and now my library is gone and it will not longer update. It wont hold what the source files are. It sees the source files, but when I identify them as "movies" or "tv shows" it doesnt save them. Neither my RK box running 16.1 nor the ubuntu setup is so it has to do with my advanced settings?


This is my crash log

any other logs?

Thank you in advance

Is there a reason you are sticking with 16.1? Can't you just upgrade all boxes to Krypton, or even Leia once it hits the stable repo. If it's a matter of the skin, Confluence is available for Krypton as well. Seems strange not to upgrade to a version with a few more features and few more bugs squashed?

I guess I'm just wondering why make it harder than it needs to be?
