Hi,

I would like to seek help on installing the latest version of GIMX on my Rpi.
I followed the steps on the Wiki but I still get the following errors:

wget https://gimx.fr/download/gimx-raspbian -O gimx.deb
sudo dpkg -i gimx.deb
Got a the dependency errors.

I tried all the upgrade and update found on the wiki, and even tried to force update of my entire system.

I tried to downgrade my installation just to make it work an upon trial and error I was able to get version 6.4 to work.

Hello,

Raspbian Jessie is no more supported. Please upgrade to Raspbian Stretch.

Hi Matlo,

Thanks! I will find some tutorials on how to upgrade from Jessie to Stretch an post back here if successful or if there are issues.
Its been a while since I updated so it is a big leap on versions.

There are some pre-built images. You can just flash it and install gimx then.

Upgrading an outdated version of Raspbian Jessie was a bad idea.
Thanks to kaiba_seto2004 for the advice.

What I did that worked was to Flash the SD card with the latest version of Stretch.
after flashing updated that using

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo rpi-update
unfortunately all the settings mentioned on the WiKi had to be re-applied.
It would still be faster than upgrading though, and a fresh install is always nice.

i had encountered a dependency error when installing GIMX but the OS suggested a command that fixed it.
now running the latest GIMX on the latest Raspbian OS.

Hey Matlo, I receive a similar message of dependency problems with bullseye, should I switch to Raspbian Stretch?
