MintPPC

FYI:

I have a working installation of LMDE 6 PPC with the cinnamon desktop now The only thing that needs to be done now is testing on real hardware, as I run this system in QEMU Power10. It is slow as hell.

So I'm having an issue in Mint. I can't run my boot manager. I've managed to install it fine but zenity doesn't work.

Code: Select all

damien@debian:~$ zenity --about
LLVM ERROR: Relocation type not implemented yet!
Aborted

Maybe should Google it. Never seen that before trying to run binaries! I don't know why it's involving LLVM. Perhaps it's compiled with an ELF that's incompatible. It works on native Debian fine so don't know what's up with it.

Apart from that I thought I'd give Firefox a try. But the latest isn't available. Only the old 53 version. Using Arctic now. Works ok with no security errors yet.

After another update my graphics is broken again. Testing a fix:

Code: Select all

sudo chmod -r '/usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so'

After another update my graphics is broken again. Testing a fix:

Code: Select all

sudo chmod -r '/usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so' 

That hack doesn't work. Lol.

So trying this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt hold xserver-xorg-core
sudo rm /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so

So far working to prevent the file coming back. The annoying libglamoregl.so file is part of the xserver-xorg-core package. Which cannot be removed by itself.
