Which Linux distro package as best alternative when no Slackware is offered?
Hi folks,
for years now I planned to make my Smartphone Google-Free aka install an alternative OS , e.g. LineageOS. Since I only use Linux - mainly Porteus - on my PCs I need some Linux software for handling the communication, uploading, rooting etcetera of the smartphone.
Now I have the question: Which Linux distro package as best alternative when no Slackware is offered?
The software is called Heimdall, and here is the listing of alternatives I can choose from:
https://bitbucket.org/benjamin_dobell/h ... =downloads
we have for x86-64 Linux: (The Distro Info I put in bold)

arch-heimdall-frontend-1.4.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
ubuntu13.04-heimdall-frontend_1.4.0-0_amd64.deb
ubuntu12.10-heimdall-frontend_1.4.0-0_amd64.deb
RHEL6-heimdall-frontend-1.4.0-17.1.x86_64.rpm

Out of the 9 options, which would you choose for Porteus 5.0rc3 x86-64?

depends on what it depends on.
in this case, if you want the gui to work, qt5 is required, and there's no way of knowing what qt5 version those precompiled packages are built for. (other than trying them out)
so, i would say, in this case, compiling it would be the best option.

Rava you know that with a wrong use of this software you can brick the phone,but if you want it you know how to use, for the frontend in terminal heimall-frontend try it.

I know… I will read the instructions on how to root and set up a new system on my phone completely at least twice… and make sure I find my original Super-PIN or however it is called since I know the custom PIN I use will be forgotten during the rooting and rebooting, and without the Super-PIN I would have bricked my phone.
Thanks for creating the module. ( ← can also be non-alcoholic if you prefer. E.g. like I do.)
Cheers!

Added in 6 minutes 47 seconds:
Downloaded Heimdall-linux-master-012220.zip
console ./heimdall works okay, while ./heimdall-frontend has at least these missing dependencies:
Code: Select all
root@porteus:/bin/android/bin# ldd heimdall-frontend |grep found
libQt5Widgets.so.5 => not found
libQt5Gui.so.5 => not found
libQt5Core.so.5 => not found
Then I report on me resolving the libQt5 dependencies.
Cheers!
