MintPPC

So 64bit works on x1000 but not x5000 then?

It looks like he uses MintPPC64. I don’t think that is possible. Did he change the content of /etc/apt/sources.list? I am pretty sure he is using MintPPC32, as the 64-bits version does not work on your type of machines. I think he downloaded the MintPPC64 mesa script and then changed the content of /etc/apt/sources.list from MintPPC32 to MintPPC64.

Early on, he posted this:

Code: Select all

Get:8 http://incoming.ports.debian.org/buildd sid/main powerpc Packages [84.0 kB]

This is powerpc (32-bits).

another hint:

Code: Select all

## MintPPC64 additional repository
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/MintPPC64_additional_repository.asc] http://u58733p55594.web0093.zxcs-klant.nl/wicknix ./

This is a contradictio in terminis. The wicknix repo is 32-bits (web browsers, email clients).

what is the output of

Code: Select all

uname -a
cat /etc/os-release

Yes, MintPPC64 works on the X1000 but it doesn’t work on the X5000.

I didn’t know there is a mesa script for MintPPC64. I only know the mesa script for MintPPC32.

This is how /etc/apt/sources.list in MintPPC32 should look like

Code: Select all

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports sid main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports unreleased main
deb http://incoming.ports.debian.org/buildd sid main
deb [arch=all] http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ sid contrib non-free non-free-firmware

#deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports sid main
# 'unreleased' does not support sources yet
# deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports unreleased main

## MintPPC32 repository
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/MintPPC32_repository.asc] http://u58733p55594.web0093.zxcs-klant.nl/repo unstable main

## MintPPC32 additional repository
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/MintPPC32_additional_repository.asc] http://u58733p55594.web0093.zxcs-klant.nl/wicknix ./

On another note, I built a working at-spi2-core. I uploaded all the binaries built from this source to the MintPPC32 repository. If you upgrade your system, you will see that the error messages with respect to the accessibility bus are gone.
edit: I built the binaries for MintPPC64 too, they are in the repo.

dbind-WARNING **: 09:12:39.784: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /run/user/1000/at-spi/bus_0: No such file or directory

To get InterWeb working, you go to

Code: Select all

cd /usr/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu
sudo ln -s libffi.so.8 libffi.so.6

Thanks! Got it working . BTW, Palemoon works too, without any modifications.

The only thing we know for sure is that @Hypex is using a 64-bits kernel.
You can look at installed programs to find out whether he is using powerpc or ppc64.

Code: Select all

apt list --installed | grep sealion

for example

There is a fix in Debian, the next autobuild should work.
