Linux madness [solved]

[Keith]

Hello all, first post here, so here we go.
Trying to do manual install so I can run from gui.
Loaded the libraries and that seemed to work here is a piece of it
libmad0 is already the newest version (0.15.1b-10).
libmad0 set to manually installed.
libasound2 is already the newest version (1.2.4-1.1+rpt2).
libasound2 set to manually installed.
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
libfuse2
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it.
The following additional packages will be installed:
libusb-0.1-4
Suggested packages:
libfftw3-bin libfftw3-dev
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libfftw3-3 libftdi1 libusb-0.1-4
0 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 59.4 kB of archives.
After this operation, 130 kB of additional disk space will be used.

So then I went to the Downloads dir and tried to load the package
pi@raspberrypi:~/Downloads $ sudo dpkg -i qlcplus_4.12.4_armhf.deb
(Reading database ... 103064 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack qlcplus_4.12.4_armhf.deb ...
Unpacking qlcplus (4.12.4) over (4.12.4) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of qlcplus:
qlcplus depends on libpulse-mainloop-glib0 (>= 0.99.1); however:
Package libpulse-mainloop-glib0 is not installed.
qlcplus depends on libqt5multimedia5 (>= 5.6.0~beta); however:
Package libqt5multimedia5 is not installed.
qlcplus depends on libqt5multimediawidgets5 (>= 5.6.0~beta); however:
Package libqt5multimediawidgets5 is not installed.
qlcplus depends on libqt5script5 (>= 5.6.0~beta); however:
Package libqt5script5 is not installed.
qlcplus depends on libqt5serialport5 (>= 5.6.0); however:
Package libqt5serialport5 is not installed.

Now when I got to /etc/init.d I find the file 'qlcplus.dpkg-new' and I know that can't be right.
Any help greatly appreciated, this Linux stuff can be pretty obscure!

Looks like some Qt libraries are not installed!
What are you EXACTLY doing there?

I'm attempting to follow the instructions in Chapter 10. Downloaded qlcplus_4.12.4_armhf.deb and qlcplus_4.12.4_armhf.deb.md5 moved them to the pi directory then ran the library install which seemed to go well. I checked the status of the 4 packages with dpks and they are all installed. Then sudo dpkg command that showed all the missing stuff above. Do I have to load the missing packages manually also?
Sorry, I'm mostly a Python programmer and not too deep into Linux. I am running the latest pi version 'bullseye'.
I did get the image working and am very impressed with the program. I'm planning on using it in a museum display so I will write some Python code to interface with qlc+.

Alright, then it's probably only multimedia stuff missing.

Okay, not sure exactly what happened but it is now running, thanks for all the help. Now for the fun part.
