After trying Bash!Karaoke for a bit, we'd like if you fill up our survey.
Go to this page.
Bazaar (Recommended)
This is the best way to install Bash!Karaoke; some users experienced some issues with the tarball, so we decided to use Bazaar as the main way to get it, because it allows a fast update in case of bugs. Moreover with the Baazar branch you can try the future version of Bash!Karaoke GTK, which is located in bashkaraoke-gtk/src/bashkaraoke-gtk-new.py ; this version doesn't work yet, and it'll be the version 6.0.0.
To install Bash!Karaoke, open your favourite terminal emulator (if you use Ubuntu it's “Terminal”, but if you use Kubuntu it is “Konsole”), then paste one by one the following commands. You can also put them all in brackets and run them all at once, speeding up the operation.
sudo apt-get install bzr cd ~ bzr branch lp:~bashkaraoke-dev/bashkaraoke/bashkaraoke-gtk cd bashkaraoke-gtk sudo python setup.py install
You can also watch a tutorial that shows how to install it in Ubuntu.

TARBALL (Unstable)
This is the best method to get Bash!Karaoke with the new GTK interface included. This is the best way to install it for a normal use. Remember that you should have Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot or newer to make it work. We never tried it on other distros or on older versions of Ubuntu, but you are free to try it on your favourite distro!
Follow these simple steps:
- Download the archive by clicking the following button:
- Move it in your home folder;
- Extract it and install Bash!Karaoke by running the following commands one by one:
tar -xzf ~/bashkaraoke-gtk_5.0.0.tar.gz cd ~/bashkaraoke-gtk/ sudo python setup.py install - Enjoy!!!

bel progetto manca veramente un lettore di questo tipo a linux……….. peccato che funzioni solo con la versione 11.10, aime…. che uso la 10.4….
Lucid non è supportato perché non supporta il nuovo GIRepository, utilizzato per l’interfaccia GTK. Ma puoi sempre installare la versione senza GTK da SourceForge a quest’indirizzo: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bashkaraoke/files/bashkaraoke/5.0.0/BashKaraoke_5.0.0.tar.gz/download
In questa versione non puoi usare il fullscreen, ma sei costretto a usare una piccola finestrella. Intanto siamo a lavoro e tra un po’ sforneremo la nuova versione, che aggiunge parecchia stabilità e (forse) nuovi formati (come gli MP3 con testo LRC), ma non il supporto a Lucid… Qualcuno comunque è riuscito a farlo funzionare su Natty e Maverick, puoi sempre provare
Ciao!
