VICE 3.2 (Flatpak)

Post by Janni »

In the software repository there is a package called net.sf.VICE (Vice 3.2), a Commodore 64 Emulator.
When trying to save the config I get a error msg. saying "Failed to save settings to default file."

Does anybody have a clue why ? Could it be access problems ?

Looks like it is trying to save to : /home/me/.config/vice/vicerc

Thanks,

Does the directory /home/me/.config/vice/ exist?

Hi catweazel, yes it exists
You can try this in a terminal:

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /home/me/.config/vice

If that doesn't help, you'll need to wait for someone else to come along.

Unfortunately that didn't help.
Thanks for your help anyway, I appreciate it.

I notice that VICE .deb is version 2.4 in the repos for Mint 18.x (18.2 anyway, assuming the sources are the same for point releases) whereas it's at version 3.2-1 in the Manjaro "extra" repos, so I've installed on both systems & will check out the differences. :) It had eluded my attention that these projects would be revived along with the general interest in the Commodore (and other 8-bit) machines.

Wonder if it can now emulate something running EhBASIC (6502)? .. Probably not, but I AM looking for a 6502 simulator :mrgreen:

I'm going to give the FlatPak version a go later on both Mint 17.3 Cinnamon and Mint 18.2 KDE & see if the same issue occurs, or at least (hopefully) be able to see what went wrong on yours.

Any news regarding this error?
The abovementioned guide is uneffective on my 64bit XFCE system :-(
The problem was also raised here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/vice-emu/bugs/1064/
https://sourceforge.net/p/vice-emu/bugs/1034/

It would be nice to maintain the latest build of the VICE through the Flapak,
otwerwise are still usable these howtos:

Thanks for any help.
