How to install the Minbar Application in Ubuntu 16.04

  • 772

Does anyone know how to install the Minbar Application in Ubuntu 16.04? (It worked for 14.04+, but the new LTS 16.04 regular Ubuntu no longer has minbar.)

Can we port it to 16.04, or does anyone know a similar application? Does it work with Unity

Thank you so much, appreciate it.

    1. Download the latest binary minbar_0.2.1-9_amd64.deb from http://launchpadlibrarian.net/203283785/minbar_0.2.1-9_amd64.deb.

    2. Download the latest binary minbar-data_0.2.1-9_all.deb from http://launchpadlibrarian.net/203283784/minbar-data_0.2.1-9_all.deb.

    3. Install minbar-data binary first before minbar binary.

      sudo dpkg -i minbar-data_0.2.1-9_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i minbar_0.2.1-9_amd64.deb

    Install required dependencies if necessary.

  3. I managed to make it work successfully on Ubuntu 18.04:

    You need to download and install the packages and dependencies since they are not provided anymore.

    Here is an automated script for your convenience.

    1. Create a new temp directory to download and install minbar:

      mkdir ~/minbartemp

    2. Download and install all packages and dependencies with this automated script:

      cd ~/minbartemp && wget http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/g/gst-plugins-base0.10/gstreamer0.10-alsa_0.10.36-2+deb8u1_amd64.deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/g/gst-plugins-base0.10/gstreamer0.10-plugins-base_0.10.36-2+deb8u1_amd64.deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gstreamer0.10/gstreamer0.10-tools_0.10.36-1.5_amd64.deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gstreamer0.10/libgstreamer0.10-0_0.10.36-1.5_amd64.deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/g/gst-plugins-base0.10/libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0_0.10.36-2+deb8u1_amd64.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/m/minbar/minbar_0.2.1-7ubuntu2_amd64.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/m/minbar/minbar-data_0.2.1-7ubuntu2_all.deb && sudo apt-get -y install gdebi libxine2-all-plugins && sudo gdebi *.deb

    3. Press y then Enter to confirm the ALSA (audio) installation.
