_The Doctor__ Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I've seen such things solved with serial port card as not al machines have decent serial ports onboard. even if the ports look like they are in a slot, most times that just goes to a header on the mother board.

And if I had to guess it probably relates to the serial port hardware, assuming the RespeQt application runs in both machines. Well at least you got it working in one instance It does not run at all on my Linux Mint laptop. Having it run on my desktop is useless, it's nowhere near my Atari 800. I only tried installing it there for testing purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stushug Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I thought maybe it was a permissions issue, so I tried to run RespeQt as administrator and I got this message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stushug Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I just did the same thing on my desktop computer and I got this error message, even the program started normally. Maybe this gives a clue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mytek Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 For the laptop, my suggestion would be to install Windows via Virtualbox, and then run the Windows version of RespeQT from there. That's what I have currently setup on one of my Linux Mint machines and it works fine. And the Windows release seems a lot less fussy to get working. I used Windows XP, but Win2K should work as well. Here's a link to a version I've used in the past: https://archive.org/details/enwin2000prosp4_202001 (serial number: F4PFP-HGXFB-QRVYK-C9J2Y-23PW6). Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck My laptop is a dual boot win 11 and Linux Mint 21. It will be simpler to just boot into windows when I want to run RespeQt. My problem is that I'm very stubborn and I hate to give up without figuring out what's keeping RespeQt from running in Mint on my laptop when it runs in Mint on my desktop. Thanks for your suggestion, though. I appreciate you taking time to answer me! Perhaps someone else may see this and know the answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiassofT Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Open a shell, change to the directory where the RespeQt binary is located and run "ldd RespeQt" - this will show you which libraries it needs. If any of them show up as "not found" then install them via the package manager - otherwise RespeQt won't start. It would have been better if respeqt had been distributed as a proper deb package then all required libraries would have been installed automatically (Qt really is a beast in that aspect). so long, Hias 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did as you suggested and found one missing library. I installed it it and... RespeQt is now running on my Linux Mint 21 laptop. Thank you very much Hias.👏 I've been struggling with this for a few months and it's finally solved. Hopefully, some other users will see this and it helps them too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I saw that somewhere while reading through his support page. Anyway, I do *NOT* want to promote Ray in any way, but he explains how to un-do his damage at the bottom of this page here: http://atari8warez.com/support.html Why would he want to prevent Windows from getting the driver automatically, and, in the case of recent 64 bit versions, not working at all? I believe he is an egomaniac, and has to have his own custom version of everything. He is nothing but a script kiddie. (IMHO). My browsers refuse to go to that link atari8warez.com/support.html says it is a dangerous link. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would really perhaps better still would be a bootable Linux on flash drive ISO image or Rufus thumb-disk image file which boots into whatever Linux which includes the RespecQt on the Linux. My favorite Linux are usually BackBox7 or LinuxMint20x. Helps avoid installing weeird stuff on Windows 11 which can hose your system. Been there done that got the tee shirt (you too?!)

I always used to do that with windows 7-10 but then windows always came back at some point and do a Wednesday night security patch and trash my boot grub thing - repairing windows clever HELP was always hours of garbage. Sometimes when I can't get Mint to do something I just try BackBox linux instead and I've had a very good experience with backbox since back when it was version 4 or 5 (now at v8) https://www.backbox.org/download/ Edited October 31, 2023 by Ray Gillman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have MX Linux (Debian) and was able to compile RespeQt 5.3. It is able to mount and open ATR images I download from Internet. But I cannot add files to any of those ATR images (even as sudo). Also when I create an image (16 MB HD image), it always creates them as write protected, and so far have not found a way to change that to writeable.
