Hi,
Thank you for any help. I really apreciate it.
I’m running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
I cut and paste the download script from Presonus Studio One
to install the software and get the following error messages. I have Jackd2 and pipewire-jack and qjackctl working and ready. Otherwise it’s a new install.
For the Debian designed for Ubuntu install
dpkg: error: cannot access archive ‘./studioone7-86_64.deb’: No such file or directory.
I’ve check I’m on 86 architecture , which was suggested when i searched for solutions to the problem. I’ve also posted in the Studio one beta forum. I’ve spent a lot of time over the last few weeks learning as someone new to Ubuntu and getting everything setup this far. I’ll be grateful of some help with this, as I’m not sure what to try. Thank you very much.
To begin with; the directive ./studioone7-86_64.deb - one must understand a concept of Present Working Directory (PWD). That leading period says “in this directory right here”. I doubt that the executable resides in your home directory; Notebook-PC.
So we need to know where the file is located on the system:
to find that out run terminal command:
sudo find / -name studioone7-86_64.deb
then you may issue the install command using the absolute path to the executable - OR- change directory (cd) to the directory containing said executable.
-sometimes it is more than holding your mouth right-
thank you so much for this information bashing-om, and hello to you too!
I did notice and wonder about the leading period, as i hadn’t noticed it in executables I’ve run so far.
I am little puzzled as this is the literally the instruction on how to install it on the Presonus Studio One Website. Do you have any idea why they would give the instruction in this way, without the first step you list. Is it standard to do it this way for some things?, and it’s simply my lack of knowledge that made me unaware? Or have they missed it off ?
What you say is interesting and I’m wondering about how the directories and systems work, because there is no file on my system anywhere. Do you mean it looks in a .deb system of available executives?
I have visited the PreSonus website. It is not a place for getting help. I could not find any tutorials or download and installation instructions. I guess a person only gets access to those things once they have paid for the software.
You say this:
I could not find that script. The dpkg command is a command to install Debian (deb) packages that have already been downloaded. Your command instructed dpkg to look in the root directory/folder. The application is not there. That is what the error message is saying.
It is usual for downloads to go in the Downloads folder. Often, the download script/command will create a folder under the root directory ( / ) and put the application package in there.
Then there should be another script/command to install the deb application in that created folder.
forgive me, You are right and I used the word script here incorrectly. I’m still getting used to Ubuntu and the terminologies. I meant command, not a .sh script that runs. a shell script.
Yes i downloaded reaper via their package link and then extracted it and ran the .sh for it to install.
Other people seem to be using Presonus studio one. I have been using it on Windows, and am trying to escape windows. I don’t understand… I thought about the possibility of what you’re saying too, and then i thought, no, how can Presonus put inaccurate instructions there, without leaving a link to actually access the download, it must be my misunderstanding.
Where are they keeping the Linux Studio One Download, then?
Best wishes
When i downloaded Brave browser, for example, i had to do steps beforehand, to install curl etc, and other programs often give commands to get things before you use an install command, so i did wonder.
Oh I have just seen the notification for my answer from Presonus. It seems i download the package from my account like i would for windows and then do the command. I didn’t think downloading from there would work for linux, and was also just following the instructions on their page. Thank you for all your help everyone. I have learnt some things. I want to take some time to learn more from the guides about linux and Ubuntu. I’ve been very focussed so far on trying to get Studio one working and being able to use the things i need on linux so i can move from Windows.
