MX-23 Raspberry Pi comes out of the garage

...Nomacs does, but there is no ARM version as far as I can see...

There is now. Just added an arm64 deb to the repo.

Many thanks; will test.

Attempting to install Nomacs from Synaptic gives this error:

I shall put testing it out on my list :-) ty

The RPi 3 series has a 64bit processor so there's a chance. The max 1GB ram for the Pi3 would probably rule it out as a general purpose desktop but it's worth a try.

I noticed you mentioned :
designed for and tested on Pi 4, Pi 400 and Pi 5

Any chance that will run on an older Pi? (I dont recall if I have a 3 or before.. I think it is a 3 )

I intend to test this at some point, but if it works it would be very slow.

Looks like qt-heif-image-plugin is the stumbling block. I just built & uploaded an arm64 version of it to the repository, so please update & try again.

Supposedly the kernel in place will work with a pi3. But the desktop experience won’t be great.

Now looks like it's missing localisation files; I get this from a terminal:

Code: Select all

 nomacs : Depends: nomacs-l10n (= 3.17.2206+git20230315-0mx23+1) but it is not installable
