Winbox Linux

[AcnapyxoB]

Does anyone have experience of launching Winbox for Linux (at time of writing ver.4 beta6) on Porteus ? Only a transparent window opens at startup !

I tried on Porteus 5.01 KDE, XFCE also on latest PorteuX stable.
Have no problems with the Windows version with Wine !

After these lines does the Winbox open ?

These lines seem to keep repeating, 1 a minute and after 4-5 minutes I gave up.

The missing .local files might be part of the problem.

This is normal device lookup broadcast.

I copied mine from winbox/wine directories, according to MikroTik: https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.ph ... 2f51314586
and I haven't lines for "No such file or directory", but it stucks on transparent window !

Did not answer my question whether program interface load (or only transparent screen)?

Does anyone have experience of launching Winbox for Linux (at time of writing ver.4 beta6) on Porteus ? Only a transparent window opens at startup !

tests here show:
works on porteus built from slackware current (unreleased 5.1 alpha)
works on nemesis (with missing xcb-utils-* stack added (lxqt version has these already))
ldd on 5.01 shows no linked libs missing (Winbox is a mixed static/dynamic linked binary, ie. qt* is built in but requires various other libraries present)
so, at a guess, some version of one of those libraries is too old (?glibc,icu? ?) and lacks some feature the bundled qt* requires)
i imagine it would work on porteux current.

ncmprhnsbl, thanks for explanation, will wait for Porteus 5.1.
