Hi !
AntiX 15.1 working fine on my tiny EeePC 701.
However, I encounter a problem : I tried to install Qarte (a small application to download some programs of ArteTV european channel) using Gdebi, the same way I installed it on another PC running LMDE 2 (Linux Mint Debian Edition), where Qarte works fine. But, I failed to install Qarte on my EeePC. This app doesn't appear on Synaptic list and cannot be launched typing"qarte" in he terminal, as it does on my LMDE PC.
Qarte app comes as a .deb package.
I presumably did something wrong, but I don't know what.
Does someone have an idea ?
Thank you,

failed to install Qarte
You attempted to install it via the"gdebi" utility?
If so, gdebi would have displayed explicit reason(s) for the failure.
Typically failure is due to absence of one or more packages required by the to-be-installed program
and/or presence of incompatible builds/versions of installed package libraries.

If gdebi is reporting"dependencies could not be met", post the details here and hopefully we can find a solution.

Thank you Skidoo !
I encountered what seems to be an authentication problem that was just resolved (see antiX-15 Killah P forum) : gdebi indicated now that all dependencies were met and qarte app installed fine.
Thank you for your help.
