[Solved] Cannot run SunVox 2.1c Linux_ARM64 on RPi400 with Bullseye

Post by signality »

I have a Raspberry Pi400 running:

Code: Select all

andy@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="11"
VERSION="11 (bullseye)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bullseye
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"
This is the "official" 64 bit OS for the 64 bit Pi400.

The problem is that I cannot start SunVox 2.1c because what should be the sunvox executable, linux_ARM64, is identified as a "shared library".

For comparison, the linux_arm executable for 32bit ARM machines, is correctly identified as "executable".

The permissions for these two files are the same and are also the same as for those in the linux_x86_64 folder on the other 64 bit PCs that I can successfully run SunVox on under Linux Mint, AVLinux-MX and UbuntuStudio.

Is there are workaround for this or should I try installing the 32 bit Debian OS on my Pi400 and use the linux_arm executable instead?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Andy

Did you try to run it from the terminal with ./sunvox?

This is an easy fix tbh. As Lilith said, try running from the terminal using ./sunvox
It should work.

However, I would also recommend creating a menu entry that uses runs the "shared library" as an executible. Just go to the start menu, then go to preferences and click main menu editor. There you should create a menu entry that runs SunVox. It also creates a desktop entry, but keep in mind it also depends on where you put you SunVox directory. For me, I would put the directory in the Documents folder.

To put it simply, create a menu entry if you want to click to open SunVox. Have fun.
Still learning...

Thanks to Lilith and CHEEZ2600.

Yes, of course, that works fine.

I was in a bit of a hurry before going on holiday when first trying SunVox on my Pi400. After I set off I did think of the ./sunvox syntax at the command line but after 2 weeks away I forgot all about that before posting here.

Hey ho. More haste. Less speed.
