I have a debian system and, as lazy automators are supposed to, chose the easiest way to install Airtime 2, using apt-get install airtime. The install failed. No problem, because after carefull examination of the configuration files and changing them where needed, i got everything to work just fine.
When using apt-get upgrade however i still get "1 not fully installed or removed.".
I do not continue, as this would mess up the end result.
I wonder if there is a way around this. Otherwise the debian package is not for my specific setup and i will use a download of the tar file and install from there.
You found the cause of the problem. We distribute precompiled Liquidsoap binaries for each Ubuntu version since Lucid. Unfortunately we do not support Linux Mint so this binary version is missing.
If you would really like to get Airtime running under Linux Mint you will need to compile your own Liquidsoap binary, as well as download the tarball version of Airtime, and comment out the part of the install script that exits if an unknown OS code name is found. This would be line 88 of python_apps/pypo/install/pypo-initialize.py.
Here are the instructions for compiling Liquidsoap:
After compiling/installing liquidsoap from source according to your info
I run airtime-uninstall and when I run the full install script again I get this:
* Detecting OS: ... Found Linux Mint 12 Lisa (lisa) on amd64 architecture * Installing Liquidsoap binary Unsupported system architecture. * Waiting for pypo processes to start... * Restarting any previous Liquidsoap instances Stopping Airtime Show Recorder: Done.

Hi Vassilis, the reason why you are seeing 'Unsupported system architecture' is because the tarball install script only knows about Debian and Ubuntu versions, it does not know about Linux Mint.
Firstly, which version of Ubuntu or Debian is your version of Mint based on? You may be able to use one of our Liquidsoap packages, which would save you recompiling it. See http://apt.sourcefabric.org/pool/main/l/liquidsoap/
Also, you will need to install the rabbitmq-server package.
