Important LTK Notes for Running
Important LTK Notes
So I was a little naïve in thinking that the LTK install would be easy for everyone since it was easy for me. I had it originally installed on my Kubuntu 24.04 system. The problem is: there are a lot of Linux distro options, and they are unique in their ways and when I tested installation on my Fedora 43 KDE system, it failed to run. After some grooming, I got it to work. Out of those lessons-learned, here are some pointers to get your running:
- 1. Note location of your installation of the servers. Edit the batch (sh) files to match the location.
- 2. Likewise, ensure the command execution in the vice.sh file is correct. On my Fedora system, I used the Vice installation in Software manager which installs via Flatpak. This forced me to change the Vice execution command from
- x64sc ... to
- /bin/flatpack run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=x64sc net.sf.VICE ..."
- 3. Ensure that the batch (sh) files have the appropriate "#!" call out (#!/bin/bash) for your system.
- 4. Perform chown and chmod 755 on all files downloaded as needed.
- 5. The primary script uses "xfce4-terminal" for the terminal windows. You don't have to install/use this. On my Fedora platform I used Konsole - so the command "xfce4-terminal -x" changed to "konsole -e". I also had to change the format of these commands where:
- xfce4-terminal -x <location> <file> became
- konsole -e <location/file>
