Re: MX-Fluxbox Raspberry Pi “Ragout” - KDE / Gnome Desktop [Solved]

Does this include the regular KDE Desktop experience as MX Linux for PC does?
Or is there a way to find out what other apps, tools etc are part of that to narrow down what I might want to try to build .deb's for a fuller KDE experience on my Pi400?
I am currently waiting for a pair of 128G USB's so ...

Re: Update thonny to 3.3.3 for Raspberry Pi Pico support.

Thank you!
The native thonny installs in {HOME}/apps/thonny and includes an uninstall script that seemed to cleanly remove thonny and it's menu entry.

I fetched your .deb and just let my KDE desktop install it when I double-clicked the download.
Now I have version 3.3.6 installed in /usr/bin and it ...

Re: Update thonny to 3.3.3 for Raspberry Pi Pico support.

Thank you for your update.
I'll test this with my Pico after breakfast.
I want to be sure to remove the install I did. Looks like the native thonny installs in your home directory but installed an icon on my KDE menu.
Oddly, it does not run from a command line and which thonny does not find it ...

Re: Update thonny to 3.3.3 for Raspberry Pi Pico support.

Since there has been no reply, I guess the safest way forward is to uninstall the thonny package with MX Package Installer, then use thonny's own install script to install 3.3.6 which is the current version.

I really hate mixing packages, but since I'm the only one interested in updating thonny to ...

Update thonny to 3.3.3 for Raspberry Pi Pico support.

I currently have thonny 3.1.2 installed, which is the latest version I think from MX-Testing. I am away from my Linux PC right now.
But I installed it to use my Raspberry Pi Pico. But proper support for the Pico wasn't added until version 3.3.3 so I am hoping I can get an updated version of thonny ...

zasm and vasm assemblers.

Since I have been playing around with some old processor boards, I plan to be using both zasm for Z-80 and vasm for MC68000 assembly code assembly.
I built a local copy of zasm, just for testing, but a package would be cleaner and may encourage others to try assembly language coding.
zasm is ...

SOLVED Re: Request: MiniPRO

Got my MiniPRO today!
Only took a few minutes to get the firmware copied to the EEPROM and it worked like a charm!
That is a win for me. I'll presume any other test-case fails are minipro's problem and not the MX package!
Thanks a million!!!
