I wrote an installtion following this code: askubuntu.com/a/520/417607

#!/bin/sh
dependencies=" python-pip build-essential git python python-dev ffmpeg libsdl2-dev \
libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libportmidi-dev libswscale-dev libavformat-dev \
libavcodec-dev zlib1g-dev python-kivy python-pygame"
sudo -i
add-apt-repository ppa:kivy-team/kivy
apt-get update
apt-get install -y $dependencies
exit

But it only logins as root and installs nothing

@AbhishekBhatia sudo -i spawns an interactive shell that blocks the script, so the following commands are not executed until you exit that shell (and anyway even then they will be executed without sudo). Remove sudo -i and run the script with sudo, or prepend sudo to each of the APT commands.

I just noticed that in:

On the RHS, it says:

    Linked

    0 Setting up a midi controller on Linux Mint

But I'm a bit puzzled, because I don't see where I linked that question.

Am I suffering from an onset of early senility?

@FaheemMitha You linked the PulseAudio question in the MIDI controller question: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/270015/…

@kos Oh, I see. The other way around. I misunderstood what "linked" meant.

Yeah, it's not exactly clear until something like that happens to you.
