PCSX2 for Debian/Ubuntu

Hi everyone. I'm trying to install PCSX2 in Debian (64 bit). I keep running into...problems, so I'll just list the first one that I ran into... I am not familiar with Linux at all.

I am referring to this guide: http://wiki.pcsx2.net/index.php?title=Se...ux_version

Ok, what I did first was run this in the terminal:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gregory-hainaut/pcsx2.official.ppa

Output:

Code:

You are about to add the following PPA to your system:
The Official pcsx2 ppa, provided by the pcsx2 team. This ppa contains a
regular package snapshot of pcsx2. We are not package experts, but we
try to follow the debian policy.

* We suggest you use https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/issues to
report issues with pcsx2.

* The package is 32bit only,  but can be installed on systems that fully
support multiarch. You need at least Ubuntu Precise.

* 2 versions are provided. pcsx2 (latest stable release 1.2.2) and pcsx2-unstable (regular snapshot of our git repository). Unfortunately I don't have enough free time to provide both for all Ubuntu versions.

* PPA doesn't allow to upload package on unsupported Ubuntu. In short it only remains LTS and latest version.

Looks like all went well there...

Next i enter in:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Output:

I'm not entirely sure what's going on here. I did this on my root account and had the same results.

Please help!

Don't use PPA on Debian, you can use the one from Debian itself (testing or sid) https://packages.qa.debian.org/p/pcsx2.html

Ok. Let's see. I downloaded the pcsx2_1.4.0+dfsg.orig.tar.xz package. Is this it? How do I install this? I extracted it and I'm not sure what to do from here...

Code:

cd ~/Downloads/pcsx2-1.4.0

Where do I go from here?

[gregory]

Nah, just sudo apt install pcsx2 (byt you must be in testing or SID)

[Saturnize]

I keep getting

Code:

E: Unable to locate package pcsx2

It seems so straight-forward, but it isn't working. I don't know what I'm doing wrong! ~_~

EDIT: Sometimes I run into "installers" that are simply a PGP signature. What about those?

Example: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-game...0%2bdfsg-1

EDIT 2: I added

Code:

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stretch main

to the list of sources. Is that right?

[gregory]

First, you can tell us what is your distribution version. Because Debian is really vague.

[Saturnize]

I'm fairly certain I'm using 8.3.0 the latest which is Jessie.

[gregory]

Unfortunately, as I said above, you need to have the current testing (aka stretch) or unstable (aka sid) version.

However you could use the pre-compiled version available here

Ok I always seem to run into problems with these packages. So what do I do with this? I'm in the directory and my first guess is to do something like.

Code:

$ sudo sh PCSX2-linux.sh

Well then I get about 100 errors for missing dependencies (assuming I'm doing it right)
