MintPPC

I tried to find a solution for musescore but didn't get it to work.

Edit: I fixed the latest musescore2 source. It now builds successfully on amd64. I sent a patch to Debian. I am now trying a powerpc build.

Ok... I checked that the version I have on the old MintPPC is 3.2.3+dfsg2-16 (Debian sid/powerpc). 2.x is still usable but it cannot load files created with 3.x.

The latest musescore 3.x has the same error, I can fix that too probably

Musescore2 powerpc is ready! It built successfully. I will add it to the repo.
edit: it's in the repo now. I am building the latest musescore3 for powerpc after I patched it.
edit2: musescore3 is also available now

[mintppc]

They both work!

Great! I just tested them, both seemed to work in my machine, and the '3' was able to load my previously created scores.

Well done, Jeroen . Thank you VERY much!

OK, done some minimal testing with Neovim and as I suspected a lot of the plugins die on install. This is down to a lack of node.js and npm. Rather than try to descend down that rabbit hole (from a quick google search it looks like Node.js involves assembler) I intend to start my config again and see how far I can get. This is something I should do anyway really to properly understand it rather than just hack away on a prepackaged config bundle.

At the moment, the Rust language server works fine, C++ does not. But I haven't dug into why one does, the other doesn't. A lot of stuff does work well however so it's far from all doom and gloom!

Well, it’s not so bad them. I think it’s nice to play around with, but for professional use, you better check on the Mac you use, with a proper editor.

If someone has time, he can check why the accessibility bus fails. Build the following tool and issue a ./troubleshoot:

It might be that a certain package was removed by upgrading to forky, not sure.

I added

Code: Select all

export NO_AT_BRIDGE=1

at the very end of ~/.bashrc
I no longer get these annoying error messages anymore.

I disabled Mate in MintPPC, so you have to install it yourself. The easiest way to install Mate is
sudo apt install task-mate-desktop

Thanks, got it reinstalled now!

But there are still several details which need to be adjusted...

How can I disable totally the password confirmation of mounting partitions (e.g. in Caja)? I have done this several times but cannot anymore remember which file I have to copy from my old installation...

Does your Mate desktop looks Minty? Or does it look like Debian?
