  • Installing syncTERM on linux Mint 21.1 cinnamon

    From John Cybulski@1:275/89 to All on Fri Jun 9 19:15:15 2023
    Hey All,

    Just installed Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon on my Acer laptop alongside Windows 10 so its dual boot.

    It seem to be working just fine and so far I like it.

    Trying to install syncTERM on it but not have much luck. I'll point out i'm a total Linux noob :)

    I managed to install Snap store and it works. I used it to install Mailspring and that went ok.

    When I install syncTerm, I install it but its nowhere to be found. I go back to Snap store and it says its installed but I can't find it. Also when i type it in the search of the start menu, it doesn't show up.

    Anyone experience this before? I'm guessing its something simple and i've also searched on google but all I find is issues with installing Snap store itself.

    Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    First thing: don't use the Snap store to install SyncTERM. That SyncTERM is not official/authorized/supported and I think it's still a really old version of SyncTERM.

    syncterm.net has the download link you're looking for.

    Good deal, glad you got that sorted, and that's good info for me (and others) to know about the 1.2 version.

    SyncTERM v1.2 is not yet released, but it's a good time to test (v1.2b) and provide feedback.

    Indeed it is. I'll try to find some time to do that. Thanks!

    I made an install script ages ago that should work for a handful of different linux variants;

    Hope it helps.

    That's cool. Maybe consider changing this line in that script to not use sudo? sudo make SRC_ROOT=$st_path

    root access should not be necessary for *building* syncterm, only for the *install* command.
