It did not solve your problem

This made me install VLC again!!

Thanks !

The new SeaLion 33.9.0.1 crashes on MintPPC32 when visiting certain websites for example heise.de. The reason for this is MintPPC32's libavcodec.so.61.19.101. I figured it out with gdb today.

Error message:
On Void PPC works the libavcodec.so.58 with the new SeaLion 33.9.0.1 without any problems.

Workaround on MintPPC32:

about:config - search media - set media.ffmpeg.enabled to false

After the workaround, SeaLion 33.9.0.1 works without any problems on MintPPC32.

e2fsck cannot be installed on MintPPC, though Synaptic lists it. Is it missing from the depots? GParted cannot anymore copy partitions as it seems to need e2fsck.

It seems to be already installed...

But when I try to copy e.g. a Mint25 partition from a disk to another, I get in Gparted this error:

Mint25: ********** WARNING: Filesystem still has errors *********
e2fsck 1.46.2 (28-Feb-2021) dev/sda5 has unsupported feature(s): FEATURE_C12 e2fsck: Get a newer version of e2fsck!

So, the e2fsck seems to be badly outdated (from 2021)! Can we please get a newer version of it?-)

the latest is 1.47.2-3 and is from June 25.

I transferred a Mint 25 partition from a X5040 to a X5020, but it does not boot on the latter. The e2fsck fails during the the initial disk check complaining about that unsupported C12 feature and booting halts to a terminal prompt. How can you fix that?

I think you need to upgrade e2fsprogs on the partition you use to do the file system check with e2fsck. In which Linux distribution and what version are you trying to do the e2fsck ? If it is Debian sid based, you can do and e2fsprogs should upgrade to the latest version 1.47.2-3.

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

and e2fsprogs should upgrade to the latest version 1.47.2-3.

It is the MintPPC 25. And I am not trying to do the filesystem check myself, it is the system which does it automatically when booting! But the booting halts to the 'CRepair:/#' prompt due to this problem. Unfortunately 'APT' command is not found when I try to run it from that prompt...
