repository

Hi
So far very good.
Before I get into Spiral Linux and start downloading and installing the programs I require, some of which are not in Debian.
Can I add deb-multimedia to the repository list or will this cause problems.
John

Hi John,
Glad it's working for you. I believe that it shouldn't cause any issues, but I've never tried it. Please report back if it works.
Thanks!

SpiralLinux does not use any own repository, so unlike using arch AUR on manjaro can make problems. Using debian repository on Spiral is OK in theory.

Hi Thanks for your reply. I had been using Gecko for some time and had become accustomed to finding most things I needed especially with Packman enabled. Having tried Spiral without modification using a spare disk on a caddy I decided that I should install on my main disk alongside my other distros. For reference I have a 15 year old 64bit system and am limited to Xfce which I am using on Spiral or LXQt which I used on Gecko. As I said before so far very good and I will now probably use it as my main distro. I have added deb-multimedia to my source list and have installed the program (DvdStyler) that was not on Debian and the program works ok. I disable the repository when running update except when updating DvdStyler just in case it causes problems. I will let you know how it goes Thanks for your time stay safe John

Thanks for confirming!

Hi It was suggested by GeckoLinux that it should work,so I have added deb-multimedia to my source list and enabled the repository to obtain the program I require. At the moment there are no problems, time will tell if the is what I require and that it will not interfere with the system. Regards stay safe John
