Installing on Pi with JMRI

Xrdp and jmri on a banana pi was unworkable for me. It is better on an intel core i3 home theatre pc.
But still not great
Hence experiments with rocrail and
More excitement for traintastic :rofl:

Moin Tom,

Nice find, these libs are dynamically loaded at runtime I think, therefor the deb package tool doesn’t detect the dependency I think. Need to look into it.

Hi @all,

just send a pull request (branch AppImages :wink: ) with the build script for x86_64 and arm64.

You could a try with my builds of the created AppImages:

Moin Tom,

I’ll have a look at the MR, somehow after one HTTP request I can’t access your site anymore, I’m going to use a VPN to download it.

Reinder, I have stopped fail2ban. Try again please, I want to clear that problem!

I’ve just installed v0.4.0 onto a Raspberry PI (downloaded from the traintastic website), and got the same warnings on each of the packages:

Notice: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file ‘/home/pi/Downloads/traintastic-data_0.4.0~debian~trixie~master~2014~de464e4f_all.deb’ couldn’t be accessed by user ‘_apt’. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

however, it didn’t appear to have any impact on the ability to run.

I noticed that I also didn’t get the icons on the initial screen, but a quick

sudo apt install qt6-svg-plugins

resolved that; I’m guessing on this latter point there is a dependency missing somewhere?

I’ve installed the v.0.4.0 version for the CBUS / VLCB support, and will be trying it out, as this does look an interesting additional program for controlling layouts.

Hi @swinguk,

Welcome to the Traintastic forum!

I think this is caused by the fact it is a downloaded deb instead of that it is for a know package sources. Need to look into it.

Yes it is a dependency problemen, when building a deb for most dependencies this is handled automatically, but I’ll look if I can add this one manually.

Thanks for the input and conformation, this will improve Traintastc!
