Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi,
I've been following EasyOS for a long while, because I am looking for a lightweigth portable distro that could be run from a pendrive. And the containers stuff seems to be very interesting.
As EasyOS seems to be the answer, I started trying my usual apps on it.

I use to develop microcontroller apps and I have also a small workshop devoted to 3D printing.
Many of my apps are .appimage, and the ones I've tried have run fine so far.
I also prefer to use web apps and have my files on a cloud. This allows me to avoid having critical data on the local hard drives.

I use to develop under the Arduino platform, and to try it on EasyOS I have to install a program called "Arduino Create Agent" that is the one that allows me to run the development environment in the net.

When I try to run the installation shell script, everything seems to be okay, but the agent is not installed.
So I run the installation shell script from a terminal window and I got this:

./ArduinoCreateAgent-1.2.7-linux-x64.run 
/files/ArduinoCreateAgent/Arduino_Create_Agent: 
error while loading shared libraries: libappindicator3.so.1: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

On the Distrowatch summary for EasyOS I can only see

 libappindicator 0.4.92-7

Does anybody know any way to install libappindicator3 on Easy?

Thanks in advance.

It looks like you will need to download this and compile it:

https://github.com/AyatanaIndicators/li ... pindicator

Link with gtk3. You will need the devx sfs to compile.

Thanks a lot!
I'll try it and come back with the result.

Jes.

well, I wasn't able to compile, so I tried the alternative, the Arduino IDE appimage, (not the same concept but works for me).

arduino.ide_2.1.0_Linux_64bit.AppImage

with success, although it needs the --no-sandbox switch to run.

Maybe https://packages.debian.org/search?keyw ... pindicator
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/ma ... _amd64.deb

I'm trying to remember...

I think that libappindicator is deprecated, replaced by libayatana-indicator package.

Ah yes:

Thanks a lot, Barry!
I'll give it a second try....
