Getting Started on Ubuntu

From Remuco

Ubuntu Hardy users can install Remuco via an APT repository.

Contents 1 Add repository 2 Install packages 2.1 Rhythmbox 2.2 XMMMS2 2.3 Other players 2.4 Client

Add repository

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following line:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/obensonne/ubuntu hardy main

The command below should provide you a graphical way to do that:

$ xdg-open /etc/apt/sources.list

Now you can install any Remuco component with your favorite package manager (Synaptic, Aptitude, ..).

Install packages

Rhythmbox

If you want to use Remuco for Rhythmbox, install the package remuco-rhythmbox.

For instance:

$ sudo aptitude install remuco-rhythmbox

XMMMS2

If you want to use Remuco for XMMS2, install the package remuco-xmms2.

For instance:

$ sudo aptitude install remuco-xmms2

To let XMMS2 automatically start the XMMS2 player proxy, integrate it into the XMMS2 startup script directory:

$ ln -s /usr/bin/remuco-xmms2 ~/.config/xmms2/startup.d/remuco-xmms2

Other players

If you want to use Remuco for a player with basic support (Amarok, Banshee, Mpd, Totem), install the package remuco-server.

For instance:

$ sudo aptitude install remuco-server

Then follow the instructions on the player specific pages: Amarok, Banshee, Mpd, Totem.

Client

The client is also available in the repository. Since the client must run on a mobile device, it may seem a bit strange to install a package for it on your system. However, if you install the client package, you automatically get notified about updates.

To install the client from the repository, choose the package remuco-client. This package installs the files remuco.jar and remuco.jad in the directory /usr/share/remuco-client. These files must be installed on your phone - see the README in the directory /usr/share/doc/remuco-client/ for more details.
