Could you please elaborate? What CPU module do you have in your Pocket Reform, and which kernel are you running (uname -a)? What error messages are you encountering when running each of those programs?

Wine should work but you’ll need box64 as well to run an x86 windows program. For HoMM3 you’ll get a better experience running it under vcmi which is a native ARM64 program. Plus you’ll be able to get mods and high res easily.

Hi @starter from what you posted I do not think that your problems are specific to the Reform. You may want to file bugs with each of these software packages if you think that they are buggy. Also: please don’t post multiple unrelated issues in a single thread. It makes resolving the problems messy and confusing.

That being said:

Please be very, very, very careful when running commands in the form of curl https://... | sudo bash You are executing a script that you do not know with superuser privileges on your system.

You can file bugs with them here: GitHub · Where software is built

Can you confirm that this file is on your system: /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/linphone-desktop/libapp-plugin.so

That being asked, it looks that linphone is suffering from multiple release critical bugs in Debian unstable and the oldest has been open since October last year. So whatever the problem is, it might not be resolved soon.

This is not “wine doesn’t work”. In the specific case of “heroes of might and magic 3 doesn’t work” I highly support what @hardcoreufo said. Please give vcmi a shot which is a re-implementation of the heroes of might and magic 3 engine as free and open source software. You only need the non-free assets from the original game. If you experience problems with vcmi, you can file a bug in the Debian BTS. I’m the maintainer of vcmi in Debian, so your issues with vcmi will likely get processed by me.

There is no package called “steam” in Debian, so you have to provide us with more information.

I think it would be easier for us to help you if you described your problems better. You also don’t go to the bike repair show and tell them “bike has problems” and leave. You would of course tell them that you recently installed this thing on the handle and since you did, whenever you do a right turn your bell is ringing and you don’t want that to happen. Neither the bike shop nor we do have a crystal ball and can magically know what your situation is. You have to provide many more details.

In my experience, an excellent bug report contains the following information:

  1. what system/setup you are on (hardware+software)
  2. how to reproduce the bug (what steps you have to do for the bug to appear)
  3. what you expect to happen (not everything which you think is a bug is actually a bug)
  4. what actually happened

In general: if you would like others to spend their free-time on your problems, show them that you value their time by spending some of your time on making it easy for them to understand what your situation is.
