I had some missing libraries like libmtp, after extracting the tar, what do I do with the folders? do I need to extract to a specific area? can I move them after installing?
You must log in or register to comment.
Only use a package manager to install software including libraries
You should install libmtp by running
sudo apt install libmtp.This will download, extract, and install the library to its proper location. No need to be downloading stuff manually like that.
Which distro are you using?
Linux mint 21.3 virginia
Isn’t libmtp available in your repo?
I installed libmtp because I got a “no .source file” error while trying to transfer files
The left over files and directories are safe to delete.
Both spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world and voracread@lemmy.world’s answers work, I deleted the leftover files, and ran
sudo apt upgrade libmtpbecause the version I got was out of date
