Anyone working with the new x86 Raspbian

Ubuntu was the only Linux distro I used for over a decade. I have installed it as dual boot (Windows/Ubuntu) on my desktop.

However after trying Debian last year, I found it is much better and faster than Ubuntu, and stopped Using Ubuntu. Now my default x64 distro is Debian (through VM). I still have Ubuntu as 2nd boot option, but rarely use it now.

It should fall back to the compiled-in messages (i.e. the untranslated ones), in theory.

Happy Aniversary

I downloaded it and successfully installed it as a working live USB installation with Rufus.

Hi

Still a language/locale issue ?

Thanks

python problems.
cxFreeze incompatibility i believe.

You can try this: Piaware v 3.7.1 on Debian 10.0 (Buster) amd64 / Intel PC - #52 by abcd567

You compiled piaware, yes?

Yes, I compiled according abcd567 but, for bionic.
Do I have to follow your link for Freeze ?

Thanks

Itā€™s just about replacing the cxFreeze folder , not about the version.

Iā€™d just use

./sensible-build.sh stretch
cd package-stretch

then replace the cxFreeze folder and compile/install.

OK. Iā€™ll try that.
Thanks

Yes. Please see below:

It seems to point the same link from wiedehopf, started by you.
Iā€™ll work on that.
Thanks

Done !
MLAT working now!

Thanks to @wiedehopf and @abcd567
You are the best !

P.S: Just to remember replace stretch by bionic for users with Ubuntu 18.04 or 19.04 (my case)

:+1: :+1: :+1:

True, but the thread was for Debian 10 (Buster), not for Ubuntu. That is why I mentioned change to stretch.

For Ubuntu sure stretch does not apply and should be changed to bionic

stretch is the most current version, while the Ubuntu sensible build targets are too old.
If i remember correctly there are some problems using the Ubuntu build targets.

Yes, for sure !
Thanks

Ubuntu bionic is stretch based
Ubuntu disco dingo is buster based

sid is the development distribution of Debian

Yeah but the sensible-build stuff for Ubuntu isnā€™t maintained properly.
stretch is.
And as itā€™s stretch based, it works.
Pretty sure he used stretch as i wrote and it worked.

(not saying using sensible-build bionic wouldnā€™t have worked, but why use something thatā€™s not maintained?)

Are you sure?
@obj can confirm.
