MX Linux Forum

Hi!

Cannot install more than one .deb package. When you double-click on a deb package, the mouse cursor rotates for a while, but installation does not occur. What's the problem?

Thank you!

Sincerely,
Alexander.

Open a terminal in that folder and run to see the messages

Or open the file with gdebi/qapt (or even Discover as you're on KDE)

Returns an error through the command line. I have MX Xfce

Please post your Quick System Info, and the error message you get when you use the terminal.

After entering the command: sudo dpkg -i file-to-install.deb
Error: No such file or directory

Please post the output between code tags (</> button), not an image, thanks.

I am not very experienced, how to do it?

Select the output, right click, copy.

Go to the forum, click full editor and preview, click </> button above the text field, paste between the two.

Thank you!

I will reinstall MX Linux.

Of MX Linux KDE same problem.

cd /usr/share/applications
cp gdebi.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
nano ~/.local/share/applications/gdebi.desktop

Replaced "Exec = gdebi-gtk% f" with "Exec = gksu gdebi-gtk% f"
Then saved the changes: "Ctrl + O" - "Enter" - "Ctrl + X"

And GDebi earned.

There is another option in the right click menu to install deb files, NOT gdebi. Look further down. Install Deb files, use that.

Or start gdebi first, THEN navigate to the file you want to install. That does work.

One word of caution: don't install just any random deb package found on the web , but only those coming from an MX repository or one that claims strict compatibility with the underlying debian stable release (debian 11 "bullseye" in the case of MX21)

Had the same issue. For me, installing apper solved it.
