In case you have the package kgtk-qt3-trinity installed, try to remove it.  
It is known to sometimes cause problems and the trick helped me a couple of 
times on my system (Devuan ascii/TDE).

grüsse, I had removed it to address my problem with OpenOffice; I 
mentioned this in a different thread when I first noticed problems 
with OO's menus.


I just checked and it's still gone.

Modify the source code and compile.

I was hoping for an easier solution, like editing the kwrite config file or 
something. A while back it used to be a configuration option accessible through 
"Configure Editor" but then it was removed... Regards,




Most reliable dual band driver/chipset

2018-12-15 Thread Tjm
I've been using an Alfa dual band USB3 wifi adapter and while it works and when 
it happens to stay connected it's fast and fine.  But it disconnects often for 
no apparent reason and won't reconnect by itself without removing and then 
reloading the module.  Built and tried several versions of the rtl8812au and 
found one branch that I've been using, v5.9.xxx versions work but with the 
connection reliability issue.

Looking for a recommendation for an adapter and/or chip.

Thanks, 
Tony

cross compiling for arm

2018-12-15 Thread billium

  
  
I am having problems with cross compiling a small program for
the BeagleBone (single board Arm Cortex A processor) on an amd64
PC.  I can compile the program on the BeagleBone, but would like
to use QTcreator on the Debian Buster desktop PC.
With the BeagleBone on Stretch and the development PC on
Buster , I use the crossbuild-essential-armhf v12.5 to produce
the Arm binary.  Unfortunately it uses GLIBC_2.28.  Buster
itself uses 2.27 and Stretch 2.24. S I cannot run my produced
binary.  I notice Sid uses GLIBC_2.28 but I do not want to put
this on a BeagleBone.  I tried buster on the BeagleBone but it
also uses 2.27.
I tried to force crossbuild to the Stretch version of 12.3
but I probably did not do that correctly.
  
I could use a Stretch chroot on the development PC but
  then could not use my normal QTcreator or put Stretch on the
  PC but other programs require Buster.
When the program is run, the error is
"/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not
found"
  
I would prefer to keep the BeagleBone on Stretch.
  
Is there a way round this library dependency?
Thanks in anticipation.
Billy

Sorry, no clue about QTcreator.

You might want to try schroot to isolate the lib requirements of your
build host from those of your target host. It also manages QEMU for you,
should your build system be flaky in the cross build department.

Tip: use plain text mail instead of HTML: this makes lives around here
much easier.
