3 pkgs in arm64

[Jerry3904]

I'm trying to test a side install of MX-23 Xfce on my Orange Pi 5 using mxpi, but it fails b/c 3 packages are not available in the correct format:

--xfce4-notes
--xfce4-notes-plugin
--thunar-shares-plugin

I'm not finding them so far online to download, but it would be preferable anyway if this install method would work.

TIA

i'm going to update the mxpi list to remove thunar-shares-plugin. I didn't realize it was still in there.

the others will have to be compiled for arm64 as they are not in debian. or I can make a special arm64 version of the pm file to not include any of them. I don't think they are on the official release anyway.

[Jerry3904]

Thanks.

I don't think they are on the official release anyway.

I didn't think so either.

@dolphin_oracle Got the new list, thanks. But I keep running into problems and have concluded this just isn't going to work.

[dolphin_oracle]

you only instlal one of the helpers, or neither. not both.

@Jerry3904 I just uploaded arm64 xfce4-notes packages to main. You may notice they are marked mx21. We just added that package to the MX-23 repo at the beginning of MX-23 development and never updated it.
XFCE4 did recently update it so that's on the to do list...

Forgot about that

Purged the backports, tried again and it looked like it was going to go but

I have no idea. the package is definitely in the arm64 repo. maybe something wrong with the apt cache on the local machine?

[Jerry3904]

Tried to install the cached pkg, see the error:

I would remove the OPi package, since those defaults are pretty terrible, but suppose it will just get overwritten sooner or later.
