What is Reddit's opinion of GetDeb?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

get bleachbit

also try zram

One other thing I tried which made a huge performance difference was to use TMPFS To Reduce Disk I/O;

• Open the terminal and edit the /etc/fstab file with this command:

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

• At the end of the file, add these two lines:

# Move /tmp to RAM

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid 0 0

I got that tip from this page, some of these tweak are out dated or are now part of Ubuntu 12.xx

GetDeb.net is like the app store of Debian based systems

They have most popular software available as debs u can download and install on any deb system not just Ubuntu

It's not available in the official repositories. The Polybar github recommends using the GetDeb repos for it (or you can build it from source). The getdeb site seems to be having issues for me.

Here's the github

> use distribution specific tools to create a package that can then be installed by the packaged manager.

I've used checkinstall, but it probably doesn't work for some things. Check with the Mint folks for specific advice on using it with their system.

> Be careful about running random binaries you find on the internet.

Good advice whenever using third party packages. Again, ask the Mint folks for specific advice.

• GetDeb

While you definitely have a valid point, the strictness of the backporting process and the amount of time it takes make it a less than ideal solution for users that want/need the latest versions of software ASAP. Think of what I'm doing here as an extension of the GetDeb project. Quoting from their page: "The GetDeb repository extends the official repositories by providing latest versions and new applications. Unlike the official packages, GetDeb packages do not have a predefined release schedule - new software versions are provided as they become available from their authors. There is a short and limited testing phase instead of a full testing cycle to ensure packaging quality, however it is less strict than Ubuntu's official requirements."

Yes I did that, I also tried using this but same thing popped up.

and I just did apt-cache search but it didnt do anything. I also searched through here to try and find it but it shows nothing, even ctrl+f showed nothing for polybar.

Last time I use it. I thought it was kind of buggy. Haven't used it recently.

Like the idea and it seem easy enough. http://www.getdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/16.10/

Try it and report. If no one else reports soon about it.

Anything that isn't in the official Ubuntu repositories and no PPA to be found. or third-party .deb package. Then just build from source. Because that's what I do now. It's not hard to do. After you done it like the third time. After that it's a piece of cake.

Not many do. There is no official one for Debian that I know of.

Wheezy can use Ubuntu Software Center.

There is a GetDeb Software Portal

Jack N' Joe Software Portal should work with Debian

I'm sure there are others.

Rubyripper is as good as any windows app i've used, although it used to be very slow, i just tried on newer Ubuntu and it seems faster, not sure if i had some settings overly paranoid.

i think i had to install getdeb ppa though, i got it via here http://www.getdeb.net/software/Rubyripper

for burning, i still use ImgBurn via WINE, have never found a native app as good, and the ImgBurn author is very good about support in WINE.

I personally use "RubyRipper" - Works well for me!

The version from GetDeb still works fine for me on 13.10

No worries mate. Here is what I found:

http://wiki.songbirdnest.com/Developer/Articles/Builds/Contributed_Builds http://www.getdeb.net/app/Songbird http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/02/songbird-hits-version-1-9-3-linux-build-available/

Try the versions on 11.04. They will probably work fine. Also try the source version, it is not hard to install as far as I remember. And watch getdeb, they will probably have a 11.10.

Songbird is exactly like itunes. That is why I hate it :)

The theme is screaming apple and Songbird handles long files as well as .m3u and .pls playlists.

I don't know of a repository for it but the newest version is at getdeb.

I found a working version of Songbird for Ubuntu! You can download it here. Make sure you have the getdeb package installed though. You can see how on their website.
