I think I can see two possible errors that you might want to correct:

1) line 8 indicates that you have issued the following instruction: sudo dpkg -i subsonic-x.x.deb
2) line 13 indicates that you have issued the following instruction: sudo dpkg -i subonic-4.8.deb

Both of these lines contain errors. Line 8 doesn't indicate the version (4.8.deb) but refers to x.x.deb; line 13 spells subsonic incorrectly (misses out "s")

Change directory to the directory you downloaded the installation package to and try reissuing the following instruction:

sudo dpkg -i subsonic-4.8.deb

Hopefully, that should work (or, at least it did on my Ubuntu system)

Good luck!

ok thanks!
well, i guess it installed, but i can't find it.

Ok -to see if it is installed type in terminal:

dpkg -s subsonic

That will tell you whether the install was successful or not.

If it was , go to your browser and type:

Http://localhost:4040

That should open the welcome page where you type in your username and password. If this is the first installation on your system, these are admin and admin

Hope that helps!
