| 23:24.10 | maxrazer | Does anyone know how to confirm that I installed deadbeef player with gdebi? I can't seem to get any command to run it. |
| 23:24.52 | maxrazer | I also couldn't figure out how to install it to /opt/deadbeef |

| 23:31.07 | n4dir | i think you coul unpack the according *dep file and look where it will install. locate, which, etc probably won't work, as you seem to miss the correct packagename and/or path. |

| 23:34.59 | maxrazer | n4dir, I don't really follow. gdebi asked me if I want to install and I said yes and I don't see any errors. My working directory was /Downloads. I can't find any command like "deadb..." that will run the program though. |
| 23:35.38 | rant | maxrazer: dpkg -L deadbeef |
| 23:35.53 | rant | that'll list the paths of the files installed |

| 23:36.52 | maxrazer | Oh, you know what. I think it installed to /opt and that isn't in my path, so I can't run it. |

| 23:37.24 | maxrazer | That command showed me a ton of paths, but at the top it said /opt/deadbeef |
| 23:37.42 | rant | so symlink the executable to /usr/local/bin or change your path |
| 23:37.45 | maxrazer | I used that path and was able to run it, thanks. |
| 23:38.01 | n4dir | once installed as a deb dpkg -L should work too, i meant to look at the deadbeef.deb package with dpkg -c *deb. |
| 23:38.12 | n4dir | i don't do that often though ... |
| 23:38.14 | rant | personally I'd symlink the executable, it'd be simple |
| 23:39.11 | maxrazer | So, put a symlink in /usr/local/bin to the /opt/deadbeef/bin/deadbeef and /usr/local/bin is normally already in the path, so it will show up from any working directory? |

| 23:40.59 | n4dir | short ago i tried something like that with seamonkey. didn't work well, as there is (perhaps) more in /opt/deadbeaf than only bin/deadbeef ... |
| 23:41.12 | n4dir | i got help from here, but forgot what exactly i did. shame. |
| 23:41.21 | n4dir | worth a try for sure. |
| 23:41.31 | maxrazer | Just adding /opt to the path would make sense right? |
| 23:42.03 | n4dir | iirc tried that too, but it would look for /opt/bin and such, not for /opt/deadbeef. |
| 23:42.45 | n4dir | as you see i am not really in the subject. Only trying to tell you: might be more difficult than you assume. Don't get nervous |
| 23:43.17 | rant | no because most things that use opt use a windows Program Files style approach where each program has its own subdir rather than seperating its parts into bin/ share/ etc like /usr/local |

| 23:43.46 | rant | which is why its simpler to just link the executable to /usr/local/bin or /opt/bin which is already in the path |
| 23:44.16 | rant | well /opt/bin isn't in the path by default but /usr/local/bin is |
| 23:44.37 | n4dir | i mean: ln is done quickly. Just try and see ... |

| 23:58.28 | n4dir | works? |
| 23:58.28 | maxrazer | That works |
| 23:58.35 | n4dir | cool then. sorry for the noise |
| 23:59.04 | maxrazer | Wouldn't there be a way to add /opt and just have it include all the subdirectories? |
| 23:59.34 | n4dir | i asked here, and iirc jelly helped me with it. He was a bit astonished too. Perhaps only a seamonkey problem? |
