To complete the installation using Synaptic, open the Synaptic Package Manager and reload the package information (use the Reload button, or select Reload Package Information from the Edit menu). Now search for and install the accessgrid3.2 package (it will be found in the AccessGrid section). A number of prerequisite packages should also be automatically installed.
Alternatively, the installation may be completed from the command line, with apt-get, by running the commands:
sudo
apt-get update
sudo apt-get install accessgrid3.2
sudo apt-get install accessgrid3.2
Everything should be set to go now - run VenueClient or VenueClient -d from a shell or run it from the "Access Grid 3" entry in the main menu (assuming default Gnome desktop).
Issues
Access to the UQVislab apt repository
now supports signed downloads. Before installing anything, see the instructions to import UQVislab public key.
Integration of rat with the Pulse Audio system can be problematic. A potential fix is available that may help.
Can't access video devices? Check that you're a member of the "video" group, via either the System->Administration->Users & Groups widget or by running the adduser command in a terminal e.g.
sudo adduser fred video
(would add the user fred to the video group)
Otherwise, no known issues. Please report any problems to the contact email below
