Minimwatch on Linux

[swdick]

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:

./setup

Full instructions for Linux are here.

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

Yes, thatś it. I can see Minimwatch now in my bottomline, but it is greyed out. I don´t think I am running Gnome. Greyed out means: no instance of Minimserver found.

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.

I assume you didn't CD into the bin directory.

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.
