JRiver Media Center 27 for Linux

[musicnut23]

Seems there are dependency issues that I do not know how to work with.  Ubuntu 18.04 says that the latest version of libc6 is installed, but JRiver is asking for a newer version.  I've tried a system update/upgrade.  That didn't help.  

Are you on Ubuntu 16.x or 18.x at the moment? LTS are even numbers so there's no 19.
For starts, run the suggested command:

Code:

apt --fix-broken install

And see what happens.

Let me know how it goes.

I've been on 18.04 since the system upgrade button still worked.  It was the only way I could get Jriver25/26 to work last year.


I started over just now to provide better info hopefully:


1) First the error when I drag and drop the .deb into the system console gui installer you provide:

2) Next I went ahead and opened up the VNC Viewer just in case, because this worked in the past for JRiver26.  26 did install, and I was always able to use it.  However - For Jriver27 - the server does NOT start.

3) From the console (via VNC Viewer for JRiver27) I attempted "apt --fix -broken install" - this uninstalls Jriver27 defeating the purpose.

4) I looked for a way to install libc6 2.28 only to find (I believe) that 18.04LTS does not support it
