Linux Ubuntu 22.04 (64-bit)

[spaarks]

Linux Mint 20.3 with current updates.
I have been running 18.04 (Bionic) version ok for some time.
Today when opening MMeX I was invided to update, so I install MMeX 22.04 (64-bit) (Jammy) and when I click the MMeX button nothing happens. No warning or error code.
Now I find that Mint 20.3 uses Ubuntu 20.04, so I downloaded the 1.5.16-1 (focal) and ran the deb file.
Asks to install additional file wx3.1-i18n = 3.1.1-1.artful
I get: The installation or removal of a software package failed.
Can someone explain what has happened here?

I uninstalled Mint MATE, wiped the hard drive and re-installed, and updated. It uses Ubuntu Focal.
Downloaded and ran the installation file mmex-1.5.16-1.focal_amd64.deb

Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: wx3.1-i18n

GDebi should automatically install all dependencies. I have the latest GDebi (0.9.5.7xmint10).

Anche a me succede la stessa cosa . Aspetto che qualcuno ci dia delle indicazioni.

Did you see:

?

Also I assume, that the Ubuntu deb files will not fully work on Mint MATE, since probably Mint has some other library versions than
Ubuntu.
See e.g.: https://github.com/moneymanagerex/money ... 1166307566
Perhaps I find some time to set up a virtual machine with Mint on the weekend and then compile for Mint.

PMaff,
thank you, i ltried the solution in your post of 24Apr.
At line sudo apt-get install wx3.1-i18n I get error:

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process 14463 (apt)
N: Be aware that removing the lock file is not a solution and may break your system.
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?

I don't know Linux code, so don't understand what this means.

I previously (a few weeks ago) installed mmEx on this computer without any problems.
I had to reinstall LM 20, and then got this problem with mmEx.

This is something which has nothing to do with mmex.
On Ubuntu most of the time this means you have or had "Software updater" or "Synaptic Package Manager"
or similar running, when try to use apt-get .
Try the following:

Code: Select all

ps aux | grep 14463

to see which process is creating that lock.
Explanation: 'ps' lists all the running processes,
"aux" are some parameters for ps,
'|' is the standard pipe to redirect the output of "ps" to some command after the pipe,
"grep" searches in the output of ps in this case.

Normally if you reboot the system this should go away, but maybe you interrupted some
ongoing download and therefore the lock from process 14463 was left over.

Normally you do not have to reinstall the complete operating system to get a program running.
Also this is quite an effort unless you run in a virtual machine.

I did try to install mscorefonts-installer, and it failed. Could this be the problem?

So this process seems to be still running.
The question is: what made it fail or what interrupted it so that the lock file is still there?

Did you try

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -f --reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer

?
There are others with similar problems:

I guess you also read this one:
https://linuxhint.com/ttf-mscorefonts-installer/

Btw. I never needed Microsoft’s Truetype fonts.

$ sudo apt-get -f --reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer

E: Command line option 'f' [from -f] is not understood in combination with the other options.

The mscorefonts is not important to me. How can I uninstall it?

[spaarks]

I uninstalled it, I think :
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts

Did not return any message.

Cleared cache.
mmEx deb installer gives same error.

Before uninstalling you should check, if anything is broken in your package system.

I try to put the other post also here:

sudo rm -rf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts

No, actually you removed it only from the directory and your package system might still think that it is there.
This might complicate the situation.

Installation of mmex will probably fail because the package system has still some error.

Try

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Hopefully your simple deletion in the directory does not interfere here.

Sorry, mscorefonts was nothinng to do with the problem with mmex.
No matter what version of mmex I try gives Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: wx3.1-i18n
I can't get mmex to run on WINE.

The wx3.1-i18n is solved for wxWidget 3.1.* and mmex <= 1.5.16.
See:
https://github.com/moneymanagerex/money ... 1106597921

The problem for Ubuntu 22.04 is, that the *.deb was created by me for X11 and not for Wayland.
As soon as I have time for this I will take a look at it.
But if you compile wxWidget 3.1.5 from source and then mmex 1.5.16 from source the above tip for
wx3.1-i18n should help.

For wxWidget 3.2 and mmex > 1.5.16 there is an ongoing issue:
