Minimwatch on Linux - swdick - 09-01-2025 13:28
Hi I am trying to install Minimwatch on my Linus Mint Cinnamon laptop, but run into problems: see attachment. As you can see I went to the directory where I put the file (Downloads/Minimwatch/minimwatch-2.2 and where there is bin/ map.
The command minimwatch /bin/setup doesn´t work, the terminal replies File does not exist.

CD to the bin directory and provide a relative path to the setup file e.g.
Code:
./setupFull instructions for Linux are here.

If your inside the minimwatch folder the command should be /bin/setup … if I’m not wrong

Strange. I just played an album from my Minimserver on the NAS with upplay and I can acces the NAS through my browser, but Nemo (my filemanager) does not see the network
and upplay has lost its connection with the renderers.

If you’re already running Minimwatch it’s normal that startc gives an error …

If Minimwatch icon is grey likely Minimserver isn’t running

No, it is. I can play with Kazoo on my phone. I de-installed Minimwatch, removed the file, created a map and Bestand and downloaded the installation file
tar xf MinimWatch-2.2-linux-intel.tar.gz in it and ran it from the terminal but nothing happened.
This is what appears in the terminal after installation and starting.

Thats it. The icon remains grey.

I have given up in MinimWatch on Linux.
Another problem is that I am looking for a controlpoint foor Minimserver on Linix Mint Cinnamon. I tried Upplay but it can´t find renderers nor Minimserver.
