How to Install Nuvola 3 in Ubuntu:
NOTE: Nuvola Player 3 won’t replace Nuvola Player 2 in you system. You can keep using Nuvola Player 2 until Nuvola Player 3 is stable enough for you.
1. Add Nuvola Player stable repository.
Open terminal from the Dash or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T on keyboard. When it opens, run command to create and edit a repository file:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nuvola-player.list
When the file opens, paste below into it (For Ubuntu 14.10, replace trusty with utopic) and save the file:
deb https://tiliado.eu/nuvolaplayer/repository/deb/ trusty stable
2. The official website does not mention the repository gpg key. But sudo apt-get update command outputs below error:
W: GPG error: https://tiliado.eu trusty InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 40554B8FA5FE6F6A
This can be easily fixed by running below command to receive the key:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 40554B8FA5FE6F6A
3. Finally search and install Nuvola player 3 via Synaptic Package Manager. Or run below two commands one by one in terminal:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nuvolaplayer3
Done! For more, go to tiliado.eu/nuvolaplayer/.
