LMDE Breakages (Tracking SID)

[GregE]

ia32-crossover doesnt install in sid because it depends on lib32asound2, which is no longer in sid and conflicts/is replaced by libasound2:i386

Hi, I have no direct experience with your problem but it is obviously due to Debian now being multi-arch. My guess would be you need to activate i386 as an alternative in your 64bit system and then install the 32bit version of Crossover. A quick scan of the Crossover forums confirms that the 64bit version is still trying to use the outdated ia32-libs package. Maybe I have made a rash assumption about your system, I am assuming 64bit but that may not be true.

So this is what I would try, remove Crossover and then run this command
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
then do an update
sudo apt-get update

then install the 32bit version of Crossover.

If you have a 32bit Debian and a 32bit Crossover then the problem is one of dependencies. if that is true then post back and we can look at different solutions.

I thought that running Wine would be easier once Debian went multi-arch but I have struck more than a few issues.

[woodsman4]

i think that might be why. i tried installing the 64-bit version of crossover.
EDIT: i tried installing 32 bit crossover and it tried to remove my desktop environment
EDIT....again: i modified the .deb so it depends on libasound2:i386 instead of lib32asound2. will post back whether it works
EDIT...the third: i modified it, installed it and i get

@woodsman4

Did you add the sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 ? Ubuntu have been multi-arch for nearly two years so Crossover should have multi-arch figured out by now. You should not have to fiddle the dependencies, theoretically it would cause more problems that it might solve.

The wonders of Google............

http://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki ... eezy_64bit

[woodsman4]

yes, i added the i386 architecture and updated my sources.
i was tracking sid, which no longer has certain 32bit compatibility (in this case lib32asound2) libraries, and codeweavers hasn't updated the packages to reflect this

[GregE]

Two more thoughts

1 I have no idea if this will work, but give it a try. Create a symlink from lib32asound2 to libasound2:i386. On an AMD64 system running multi-arch in the root tree you will find /lib and /lib64 - so find libasound2:i386 and create a symlink to /lib/i386-linux-gnu/lib32asound2. If you look inside the Crossover deb you can probably work out where it is looking and symlink it there instead. If this does not work remember to remove the symlinks.


2 Find Crossover debs for Ubuntu Quantal. Normally no one here would suggest using Ubuntu debs on a Debian system, but in this case it might work. Or it might cause havoc, make sure you read what it wants to do before pressing Y. Quantal matches Sid reasonably well, or try Raring. You have to match gcc versions which makes it a bit tricky. Ubuntu have been way ahead because of the Wheezy freeze, but now Sid is updating daily.


Good Luck

AFAIK crossover distributes a deb file (downloadable) which *should* work on any Debian-based system. So the Debian package is the same as the Quantal package.

[Riko]

Hi,

I'm running the 64-bit deb package just fine under LMDE, but also don't (fully) track SID just upgraded a few specific packages. Did you try the generic installer available on the crossover web page? That is just a shell script which copies all binaries and libs to the defined directories and installs menus and such. At least that will bring you around the dependency problem and it might just run.

Cheers, Riko

Hi Wayne..

If there is an applet that you really need that is now missing, perhaps compile it from source..

Hi Gene,

Got it fully d-u.

Reinstall with apt-get sensors-plugin and it works now
Did some check and got back volume knob on keyboard working too

[karashata]

Looks like they already bumped up to 0.16.0-4, I'm going to give that a try now and hopefully everything will work out fine. If not, I'm holding onto the 0.16.0-2 packages already downloaded from a previous update so I can recover easily enough if things break.

EDIT: Everything seems to be working fine here, I checked the changelog file for the latest package version and it says as follows:

"In dconf 0.13.4 support for some deprecated profile specification syntax was removed which was still in use by gdm3. Add Breaks against unfixed versions of gdm3."

I'm not entirely sure what this means but I'm guessing that older versions of gdm3 may not work correctly with the new dconf packages.

(I'll note I'm using gdm3 version 3.6.1-2 from Experimental.)

[GregE]

(I'll note I'm using gdm3 version 3.6.1-2 from Experimental.)

My gdm3 has a strange issue of being "busy" on startup. I cannot just press enter on my username and put in password, I have to click on usename with the mouse circular busy pointer then type in password. It then takes several seconds before Gnome Desktop starts. This problem exists on two machines.

Does yours do a similar thing? It is so annoying I have temporarily switched to lightdm.

Edit: an update to libgdm3 on Jun 27 fixed this issue for me.

[karashata]

I can't say I've ever had that happen, certainly not that I can remember anyway.

I should probably also note that I'm also using systemd (seems to be a requirement for GNOME 3.8 now if you want everything to work correctly, though the only issue I've noticed when not using it is that the power status indicator goes missing...), so my experience may not be typical of most people still running straight-up SID.

EDIT: I had a blurb about something *slightly* related here but decided it wasn't actually similar enough and kind of off-topic for this thread. Sorry!

wayne128 - I get a similar result, although with different items listed, when I try to upgrade just cpp, gcc or any of their related packages, so I have an idea that is where the trouble lies.

I saw that error a while ago and avoided installing it the first time around, the next time I updated my packages I installed that update as well, and nothing ill seems to have come from it.
