UxPlay issues

General Help

If there is anyone familiar with UxPlay I could use your input.

I installed UxPlay per these instructions:

(https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/03/how-to-mirror-your-iphone-ipad-to-ubuntu)

I then installed avahi because it was recommended when I got the following error while attempting to run UxPlay.

The avahi daemon is indeed running:

systemctl status avahi-daemon

The problem is UxPlay still crashes with the following:

uxplay
UxPlay 1.72: An Open-Source AirPlay mirroring and audio-streaming server.
/usr/share/libdrm/amdgpu.ids: No such file or directory
using system MAC address 70:70:fc:07:48:95
Initialized server socket(s)
*** ERROR: No DNS-SD Server found (DNSServiceRegister call returned kDNSServiceErr_Unknown)

Any suggestions from here? I tried reading through the Docs but got cross-eyed about halfway through.

Cheers!

You are on Zorin 18? If yes, UxPlay is available in the Repo. so, You could install it from there with sudo apt install uxplay

Yes Zorin 18. I will try reinstalling from the repo and report back. Thanks a Mil!

The instructions on the linked website say to sudo apt install uxplay

So...

How did the O.P. Install it?

When I see this:

it doesn't seem to come from the Repo because there is Version 1.68 available:
