MintPPC

You can test it in MintPPC32 and MintPPC64. I just uploaded it.

Many thanks for packaging and uploading the new BrassMonkey 33.9.1 to the MintPPC repositories.

I successfully upgraded my MintPPC32 (including the new BrassMonkey 33.9.1) today.

I am posting this reply from the new BrassMonkey on MintPPC32.

@Roland
I think you use MintPPC32. Correct? I updated my MintPPC32 last week and I don't have these issues.
However it could be, that new updates, after my MintPPC32 update day, are responsible for your issues.

Yes, I have MintPPC32. My installation was not up-to-date, either, but when I had today run all the available updates and created a new uInitrd, booting still halted before desktop was loaded.

If you have created a new uInitrd, too, could you please put it available on your site? I could then test whether the problem is in my uInitrd itself or somewhere else.

I run today all the available updates for MintPPC32. Two of them were not available, though they were listed by Synaptic:

Code: Select all

W: Failed to fetch http://incoming.ports.debian.org/buildd/packages/unstable/main/busybox_1.37.0-7_powerpc.deb
  404  Not Found [IP: 128.31.0.62 80]
W: Failed to fetch http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports/pool-powerpc/main/p/pcsc-lite/libpcsclite1_2.4.0-1_powerpc.deb
  404  Not Found [IP: 199.232.174.132 80]

But I suppose those programs are not important, and can be removed totally?

What was more serious, VLC disappeared from the 'Applications/Sound&Video' menu after the update! When I checked from Synaptic listing, 'vlc-bin' was stil installed, but 'vlc' not, and it could not be reinstalled. Can you please fix this issue...?

VLC works here after the upgrade yesterday.

VLC works here after the upgrade yesterday.

Are both 'vlc' and vlc-bin' installed on your system, and can you run it from the Applications menu, not just terminal?

I also tried to install 'vlc' directly via apt and got these error messages:

I removed ALL the installed subcomponents related to vlc, but still cannot reinstall it:

Could someone please tell me what I have done wrong...? I cannot figure it myself!

It is not installed:

Code: Select all

Thanks, that did the trick!-) Should I lock in Synaptic the current version of vlc and vlc-data, to prevent this kind of issues? There is already the v. 3.0.22 of vlc-data lurking as an update... It is easy to run it accidentally with other updates.
