AIMP for Linux (Wine)

[Roguefort]

Greetings.
I wanted to use AIMP on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with Wine 8.17. However, it fails to launch.
I launched it via the command prompt and according to the logs, it indicates a stack overflow error.
I've attached a screenshot of them below. I'm using the Linux kernel 6.5.6-1-default

What is your desktop environment? KDE, Gnome or other?

KDE Plasma 5.27.

KDE Plasma 5.27.

Thanks, I've installed latest openSUSE version, and AIMP from the RPM package, it seems all works fine:

[Roguefort]

That's odd. I've tried again after seeing this post and it now works. Strange...
Anyways it all seems to be working fine, but I've found visual glitches when maximized.

For now I'll keep it windowed. Thanks mate!

В gnome 42 (ubuntu 22.04) окно ведет себя странно. При сворачивание его нельзя развернуть. Иконка в треи пропадает после установки на паузу.
Как временное решение отключить в гноме для расширения AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support - Enable Legacy Tray Icons support
Ссылку уже не найду, но вроде как в новой версии гнома этот баг починили.

When AIMP is docked to the right using mode: floating with auto hide option, if I click outside the player it is supposed to be minimized(auto hide) and it does but it does not show any tray icon and does not show the arrow button to show player again, after minimizing AIMP by clicking outside of the player, but the song is still being played in the background and I have to click AIMP from the start menu again. But if I use the minimize button to minimize, the tray icon still not appear but but arrow button on the side to show player works perfectly.

Greetings, once again.

Unfortunately, AIMP doesn't work for me again.

I installed the 5.30 update and afterwards the menu entries disappeared. Rebooting did nothing to restore them.

I tried to launch via the command line, but it reports that no such command exists.

Attempting to uninstall it doesn't work either, as it reports that the "/opt/wine" directory doesn't exist. Does it mean the root "/" partition opt file?

You can see it on the attachment below. It seems that it vanished from my system!

Довольно странно выглядит, но от этого и кайфово

Dear Developers and Community!

Thank you very much for the marvelous project...

The issue is that an installation of Wine just for a (still marvelous though...) Music Player is well... are you sure an installation of around 1.4 GB is sensible or adequate enough?

I don't have Wine and for around 10 years of Linux usage never had to install it even... yet when I try installing AIMP using the DEB, the following is shown obviously:

Code: [Select]

$ sudo dpkg -i '/home/u/Downloads/aimp_5.30-2531_amd64.deb';
[sudo] password for u:
dpkg: regarding .../aimp_5.30-2531_amd64.deb containing aimp, pre-dependency problem:
 aimp pre-depends on wine | wine-core | winehq-stable | winehq-devel | winehq-staging

  wine-core is not installed.
  winehq-stable is not installed.

  winehq-staging is not installed.

May I ask regarding Flatpak or AppImage... or have you considered those?

Just in case, Flatpak is more preferred than AppImage or Snap by some and is also mentioned at Debian:

AppImages contain only that the packager deemed necessary to run on distros they want to support. So it's not self-contained in the strict sense. Flatpaks, on the other hand, contain everything, up to glibc level, with most of stuff residing in the runtime which is shared between apps and needs to be downloaded only once.

You may like Flatpak... <3

Snaps, on the other hand, may not be the best options, also considering the following:
- Linux Mint drops Ubuntu Snap packages...;
- What’s The Deal With Snap Packages?....

No, in this case we will need to built-in the wine package inside to our package.

Thank you for the response, dear Artem!
May I ask why is it an issue? Bottles uses this approach, aren't they?

[Artem]

May I ask why is it an issue?

x86-64 wine is about 1.5 GB on disk and 300 Mb in zip-based archive. It will be so ineffective if each app will install it own wine fork.

[artfaith]

Thank you for the reply!

It's possible to state the runtime for Flatpak. These are shared between different apps. There are also features like deduplication.
For example, in case of Bottles:

Code: [Select]

base: org.winehq.Wine
base-version: stable-22.08

We have strong links to other Free Software projects, including the Freedesktop project.

One of the main reasons is that Flatpak is highly likely to be installed than Wine on the most of the modern systems, and this allows to use AIMP without installing Wine in the main host. This also allows the development of AIMP to be focused on specific constant and stable runtime environment rather than on dynamic distribution.

Flatpak is supported by Red Hat.

Ok, thanks. I will check it
