I had a perfectly working version of QTPlasmac running on Mint 19.3 until the dependency for Python 3.7 was added preventing a RIP upgrade and I could not resolve python versions on a machine that already had 2.7 and 3.6
I don't understand how you can have trouble with python versions for a rip install. I have 2.7 set as my default python version which allows me to run a 2.8 rip and my master rip runs fine on 3.7. This is on the same machine which also has a package master install. Rip installs of master will use the python3 that is installed on the machine. There is no dependency on python 3.7 in a rip install, only in the Buildbot packages.
Despite how Phil says the drivers are identical, there must be some differences in driver deployment with MXLinux, as the hardware installed perfectly on Mint and Debian 11
The reason is that you did not try MX21 which is the Debian11 equivalent, you were using MX19. I did point this out to you at the time.
The dependency issue for 3.7 was certainly enforced on a git pull to update my RIP despite Python 3.6 being on the machine and in use.
I did try a couple of versions of MX so I can't remember. The hardware has always worked regardless of the OS prior to that.
I do remember resorting to my Gmocappy config at one stage to get stuff cut in amongst all this.
I think I was just unlucky to try upgrading when I did as the transition broke a lot of things for a while as you know and I was in the middle of it.
Anyway, hopefully, I have it sorted for good now. Thanks for your help and support along the way. I want to try rebuilding the debs and updating the config from them.
