Applies to Ubuntu MATE 19.10 and older.
Preface
For users wanting to install ProjectM as a visualizer for their desktop, there is a dependency issue in the present projectm-pulseaudio
package still.
Fixing it
To resolve it, after installing projectm-pulseaudio
do the following;
In
x-terminal-emulator
:sudo apt install ttf-dejavu-core
You can also use your favourite package manager, just install
ttf-dejavu-core
alongsideprojectm-pulseaudio
.
That will install the DejaVu core font set, which will keep projectM-pulseaudio
via projectm-pulseaudio
from acting stupid.
This might be resolved at a later date, please post if the dependency issue has been resolved so this thread can be binned.
