When I run ArcticFox, I get a segmentation fault now. It happens in both powerpc and ppc64. I tried the new 47.0 version and I got the same error.

Hi All,

I compiled Arctic Fox 47.0 on Fedora 28 PPC64 today. It also works on openSUSE Tumbleweed PPC64.

Downloads and further information: github.com

Cheers,

Surprise :-) I managed to compile the new Arctic Fox 47.0 on Ubuntu 16.04 PowerPC. To make this work, I needed a new version of ICU for Ubuntu 16.04.

https://github.com/rmottola/Arctic-Fox/ ... /tag/v47.2

Can you please build a non-altivec version for your users so I can upload it to the MintPPC repo? It would be nice to have a ppc64 version too. The fontconfig problem has been fixed so AF should work in modern Debian/MintPPC again.

Thank you for adding the 32-bit PowerPC package to the repo. I was able to update Arctic Fox on MintPPC32 yesterday.

I created the PPC64 package yesterday. Download: github.com

If I start ArcticFox from the console, my system is reporting that it misses gtk2-engines-murrine. I am building this package as it was removed from forky/sid. It will be uploaded later this morning.

If you want to install it, it can be done with:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install gtk2-engines-murrine
