There are some pre-built packages for several versions of ubuntu available in the GMPC Trunk Team's [PPA].

For older more stable release packages, you can install packages from this [PPA]

Howto use PPA[]

Add the repository[]

To install them first remove any previous installed version of gmpc and libmpd.


If your using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic or newer, and want to install the latest stable version, just type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gmpc-trunk/gmpc-stable

If your using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic or newer, and want to install the latest version, just type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gmpc-trunk


If your using Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty or older, then add one of one of these to /etc/apt/sources.list:

Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gmpc-trunk/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main 
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/gmpc-trunk/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gmpc-trunk/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main 
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/gmpc-trunk/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main

Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gmpc-trunk/ppa/ubuntu hardy main 
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/gmpc-trunk/ppa/ubuntu hardy main

Archive Key[]

Update apt[]

sudo apt-get update

apt-get gmpc[]

sudo apt-get install gmpc

Note: with both the stable and the latest ppa archives added to the repository list, an apt-get install of every package listed below resuts in:

sudo apt-get install gmpc-albumview gmpc-dynamicplaylist gmpc-mmkeys gmpc-extraplaylist gmpc-playlistsort gmpc-tagedit gmpc-alarm gmpc-last-fm gmpc-coveramazon gmpc-lyrdb gmpc-lyricsplugin

Debug Packages[]

Since the GMPC-Trunk Team's PPA is considered to be unstable prerelease packages, you may encounter bugs. In which case, you may be asked to submit a backtrace so that developers can figure out what's gone wrong.

In order to get a proper backtrace you'll need to install the proper debug packages:

sudo apt-get install gmpc-dbg libmpd1-dbg


If your bug is being caused by a plugin you'll need to install the debug package for gmpc-plugins:

sudo apt-get install gmpc-plugins-dbg
