Program Recommendations for Debian

[Eric BF]

Doing dist-upgrade is certainly optional.

Others and myself have done it without any problems.

Thanks for this. Good to know.

Had to re-flash to get Sailfish to work. So, also reflashed Debian at same time.

Reinstalled ExaGear and Wine now.

Just did 'winecfg'....and now have very, very small windows on screen with very, very small text. Have to use a magnifying glass to read text!

Also, does not appear to be a way to make the windows larger.

Any way to make windows and text larger?

Any other tips for Wine configuration?

Thanks!

I am not with my gemini now.
But I saw this.

THANK YOU!

Will try this....

Meanwhile, I installed Liberty BASIC Pro (LBP) for fun....

Program appears to install OK and will work. However, a separate registration window opens and asks me to enter my name and registration code. I can enter info and click 'OK'. Then I get another window open and it says that registration worked. However, the LBP editor window says 'unregistered' at the top of window and registration window opens every time I open up LBP.

Very odd.....have asked the LBP  developer about it. He didn't really have any suggestion. Think he thinks it is a Wine or ExaGear issue. Can understand that...

So, decided to email ExaGear about it. He responded and asked if I can find out if LBP has any error log that I can send him. Will ask LBP developer about that.....

Will keep trying to move forward....

Just to make sure....

Did you first do:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
And then:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install emacs25
If not, try it...

Thanx, that did it and I got emacs25 and various other packages installed!  Anyone have any thoughts on the second aprt of my post (i.e.compiling IQNotes)

The instructions on the github site imply that it should be quite straightforward.  Have you tried?  You probably will need to

Code: [Select]

sudo apt install qt4-qmake gitthen clone the repository

Code: [Select]

git clone https://github.com/kybu/iqnotes.gitand then follow the instructions in the iqnotes/iqnotes sub-directory.

Thank you very much for all the help, further along than before... However, errors out, perhaps some issue with the code (?)

Well, that error message you included indicates that you also need to install     libqt4-dev-bin. Installing this gets rid of the error message but make then complains about the actual contents of one of the user interface files, saying that the version used to create that interface is too old.  It looks like it was written for version 3 of qt.  I suggest you contact the author of the package and ask what is needed to build iqnotes with qt4.
