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

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

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

@Roland
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
