Can I run MC on Sparky USBridge ?

(1/2) > >>

Facel:
Good afternoon!!

I have a Sparky SBC running Diet PI (DietPi is a extremely lightweight Debian Jessie OS) now available in debian Stretch version.

Do you think that it is possible to install and run MC on this (light) device ? is there any special memory need ?
The purpose is to use it as a media renderer.

Awesome Donkey:
Honestly only way to find out is to actually try. You'll need the ARM version of MC for Linux though.

There's a tutorial for Raspberry Pis - can probably use that as a template for your Sparky SBC.

Facel:
Ok thanks
I will try  ... even i am far from being a linux expert

Zhillsguy:
It looks like the Sparky has similar specs to the pi 3, so it should run fine.

I installed DietPi on my rpi 3 last night without issue, just use the rpi instructions here. Interesting that MC22 comes packaged with DietPi. I like the way the developer set the OS up bare bones with easy to follow menus for installing only what you want.

I did the installation and I have MC 23 running on the desktop environnement  :) (I need to have a monitor connected to it)

 
but .. I cannot run in theater view (error starting OpenGL Engine - Initialzing OpenGL rendering window failed)
I also do not have any file : jriver.service in the directory  /etc/systemd/system/
and I have the following message in the standard view = Web page viewing is not yet supported on this platform 

euh ...I do not know how to
            => check that OpenGL and GLX 1.4 are Installed
=> install them   
but I can learn ..

one last thing ... I have LXDE desktop application ... in the Raspberry tutorial there is a special parameter for X11VNC ...when you run MC without a monitor ... but I do not know how to adapt it for LXDE
