Asked By TechyTurtle42 On

Hey everyone! I'm having a tough time trying to install Printrun on my Mint 22.1 setup. Since it's not available in the Mint repository, I'm following the 'Running from source' instructions from the GitHub page. However, I hit a snag at step 4 where it can't find the 'dbus-1' dependency and throws an 'error: metadata-generation-failed'. I've tried installing a wheel as suggested, but that didn't help. If anyone has experience with this, I'd really appreciate some guidance!

Remember to always provide details about your distro and any error messages when asking for help! It makes troubleshooting smoother. For others facing similar issues with installing apps from source, it's often necessary to have a good set of development tools and libraries, which is why that command with libdbus-glib and related packages was a game changer for you. Glad you figured it out!

Have you checked if dbus is installed on your system? Sometimes it may already be there but just not linked correctly. I usually run `sudo apt install dbus` to ensure it's up to date. Glad to hear you eventually got it working, though! That command you found seems to cover the necessary dependencies for compiling Printrun, which is crucial since running from source can be tricky without the right tools.
