Q Light Controller+

I don't know much about libudev0 or its brother version 1 and the stack size in my head only goes up to 4 or so.

Software Centre bodges give me version 4.6.0 of QLC+, installation of the .deb version gives me a headache. I appreciate software dependancies and all that but one thing depends on another, on another, on another, on one that's the wrong version, on one that's no longer supported...

It's the only time in my life I wished there was a .exe out there.

So, is there an idiot guide to installing QLC+ on 14.04 or am I an idiot?

Hello to you.

Thanks, and I've tried the solutions, but only unravelled more and more issues. After 3 hours following broken links and unrelated threads about getting Google Chrome working (similar issue), I lost the will to live. Every possible means of installing I could find created errors, which required more browser windows open to install yet another dependency.

It seems all attempts to get libudev0 working have been thwarted for some reason, hence the comment about brain stack overflow. If a degree in software is required to install a program, that is a bad thing. (if release=14.04 then don't install libudev0; install other; continue; else error message and quit out).

Regardless, I've got it working somehow.

Keep up the good work. ;|

First of all, I use Ubuntu 14.04 as I'm writing here.
Debian packages work by dependency name. Not my fault if the dependency is "udev0" instead of "udev". In any case if the dependency was "udev1" all the Linux users with older distros would fall into a problem.
Sooner or later I will switch to udev1 anyway.

In the meantime, as spotted in the discussion I posted, you need to build QLC+ from sources. In Linux it is very very easy.

Follow the instructions here. You can't go wrong.
