Hello there,
As my Mico was getting old, and could not cope with broadband, my
sons provided me a year ago with an old "windows" box running Ubuntu
0.8. ,on which I installed RPCEmu 0,8.2, which allowed me to run my
favourite progs from the Mico, albeit all very slowly.
Now I have "upgraded" to a new Acer running Ubuntu 0.9. I used a
USB stick to transfer settings and also the Emu programme to the new
machine- but as I rather thought, it would not run. So I redid from
scratch, and it all ran, but only in a small window.
I tried to alter the window settings via the boot, but got a
message "Filing system EMUFS must be given a filename". I also noticed
on startup that not all the usual messages appeared, with the final one
being something to the effect "Out of range ...." before the initial
screen appeared.
HOWEVER, by chance I opened the original copy on the USB. and
inadvertently clicked on the Emu run-file,(or whatever it is called in
Linux), and Lo and behold, everything loaded and worked , but extremely
quickly compared to the old machine! Why should it work from one source,
but not from another? The only drawback that I can see is that to
transfer a PDF file for printing I need to transfer from the USB to the
Home folder before I can activate the printing system.
Explanations or suggestions welcome.
regards.
Philip.
