Installing Themes for Subsonic on Ubuntu

Postby mctt » Sat Jun 16, 2012 12:24 pm

Hi,
I'm loving using Subsonic on Ubuntu 12.04. I run it as a service with /etc/init.d/subsonic and am trying to figure out how to install the facebookui 2.0 theme.
When I look in Synaptic it shows this list of file locations:

/.
/etc
/etc/default
/etc/default/subsonic
/etc/init.d
/etc/init.d/subsonic
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/subsonic
/usr/share/subsonic/subsonic-booter-jar-with-dependencies.jar
/usr/share/subsonic/subsonic.sh
/usr/share/subsonic/subsonic.war
/var
/var/subsonic
/var/subsonic/transcode
/var/subsonic/transcode/ffmpeg
/var/subsonic/transcode/lame


So I can figure that maybe it all needs to be bundled up in /usr/share/subsonic/subsonic.war
To be honest I'm not sure if this is the best way. I don't really want to mess with Subsonic 4.6 files as when 4.7 comes out I'll have to do it all again.

So question 1. How do I install themes with this setup?
Question 2. Should I just wait and with a bit of luck this theme will be rolled into the next release?

Cheers.

Have a read of viewtopic.php?f=8&t=9654

Due to the confusion from too many genres of music, we have decided to put both country music and rap music into the genre of Crap music.

Brilliant, Chico has the right idea.
Quick guide for the folks who like numbered guides.

1. Terminal:
Code: Select all
sudo /etc/init.d/subsonic stop

2. Alt+F2 gksu nautilus
3. /var/subsonic/jetty/2585/webapp
4. Backup webapp (about 25MB of data).
5. Extract facebookui_theme_mod_rev2.0.zip to webapp folder
6. Merge, overwrite
7. Terminal
Code: Select all
sudo /etc/init.d/subsonic start

8. Firefox, http://localhost:4040
9. Subsonic interface, General, Default theme facebook ui. F5.
10 Profit.

Thanks for that BKKKPewsey. :D
