Error just trying to install

[taybeard]

I was attempting to use the old "devede" program to create some DVD files, but it kept stopping. I found the same issue in a forum for "devedeng" and was then lead to uninstall the old version, and attempt to start using the ng version that Rastersoft so kindly rebuilt (on which this issue I am having is supposedly fixed). But since devedeng is not easily installed, I am having an issue.

Currently, the program is "installed" but I am getting this error when trying to run it via terminal (nothing happens when clicking on it as any other program in my Menu):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.12/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 397, in from_name
    return next(cls.discover(name=name))
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
StopIteration

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/devede_ng", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('devedeng==4.21.2', 'console_scripts', 'devede_ng')())
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/bin/devede_ng", line 22, in importlib_load_entry_point
    for entry_point in distribution(dist_name).entry_points
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3.12/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 862, in distribution
    return Distribution.from_name(distribution_name)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3.12/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 399, in from_name
    raise PackageNotFoundError(name)
importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: No package metadata was found for devedeng

I downloaded the .deb file from https://www.rastersoft.com/programas/devede.html and it installs with no error. I was not able to install it as instructed on https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/devedeng, I received a different error when attempting that route.

My OS: Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon

Kernal: 6.8.0-101-generic

Ideas? I consider myself novice within Linux, but I have been able to read and learn my way around many obstacles.

Thank you,

Tay

Hello, 

Which .Deb package did you install? Based on your system, you should use the one for Ubuntu noble...

That was the simple issue! Thank you, I reinstalled with that package and it started with no issues.
