My last.fm plug-in for Rhythmbox is now available for Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal).
You can get the packages by running the following commands in a terminal:
$ sudo add-apt-repository \
'http://blog.blackdown.de/static/debian/rhythmbox/ main'
$ wget http://blog.blackdown.de/static/gpg.asc -O - | \
sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo aptitude update
$ sudo aptitude install rhythmbox rhythmbox-plugins lastfm
Please remember to disable the old Last.fm plug-in before enabling mine (New Style Last.fm Scrobbler). Also note that my plug-in requires the lastfm client to work correctly.
If you are using Ubuntu Unity and you are missing the last.fm client’s systray icon, then take a look at Whitelisting the Last.fm Tray Icon in Ubuntu Unity.
Read more about the plugin and get the source code at Last.fm for Rhythmbox – New Style.
I have natty and my terminal says
koistinen@koistinen-35602:~$ sudo aptitude update
sudo: aptitude: command not found
Why? I wanna scrobble :(
Ah, sorry. I assumed aptitude gets installed by default. But it looks like you have to install it via the software center or “sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install aptitude” first. Alternatively above commands should work when you replace “aptitude” with “apt-get”.
(I probably should document the GUI way to install the plug-in).
It works now, finally I don’t have to use the buggy last.fm plugin… Dankeschön!
And yeah, a GUI solution could help some not so nerdy peeps :)
‘W: GPG error: http://blog.blackdown.de natty InRelease: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY C0278D5B730A28A5′
I done as you suggested and installed aptitude separate then swaped ‘aptitude’ with ‘apt-get’ however despite this I’m unable to install the plug in due to the error shown above.
Any idea what the root of this could be or have I made a wrong step?
You have to install my PGP key, so that apt is able to check the integrity of the files. See the wget/apt-key line above.
