JudasIscariot: According to this post http://www.gog.com/forum/the_witcher_2/libsdl2_issue_breaks_linux_mint_17/post3

libSDL2-2.0:i386 requires libwayland-egl1-mesa:i386

libSDL2-2.0-0:i386, which should be listed on the M&B Warband gamecard as such, does not require the Mint breaking libwayland-egl1-mesa:i386

As the user in that post said it's the extra "-0" that makes all the difference :)

BKGaming: I'm 99% sure I copied it straight from the game card... okay let me check this then when I get Mint installed again. I missed that in that post. Sorry and thank you. :)

JudasIscariot: Do you still have the debs?

BKGaming: Yep that is what I'm trying to copy to my second hard-drive before I wipe Mint. But it's telling me permission denied when I try to copy.
You might be able to try and copy the files as root but I am not sure how to go about that myself :/

Figured it out, had to be in root on both the original and second hard-drive for it to copy. :)

BKGaming: Obviously if GOG is telling people to install libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 which needs libwayland-egl1-mesa:i386... and thanks breaks Mint... then that needs to be looked into.
avatar
vv221: Yep, and we will look into it tomorrow once you’ve a functional system again.
It might take some time, but you should have libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 *and* cinnamon by the end of the day. I’m used to take care of problems far worse than this one ;)
You are Judas wouldn't know of a easy way of just backing up or copying the recent Mint updates would you? Not a big deal if not, I'll just do it in the morning.

Ah nice :D

Glad to hear you got it sorted :)

As for the other question I am not sure how but vv221 might know :)

Thanks Judas for the help, I'll report back on libSDL2-2.0-0:i386 when I get Mint re-installed.

All the .deb packages you have already downloaded can be found in the directory '/var/cache/apt/archives'.

backup, from your up-to-date system: 'cp -av /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb /some/external/directory'
restore, on your new system (as root): 'cp -av /some/external/directory/*.deb /var/cache/apt/archives'

Then, launch your upgrade as usual. Every packages backuped/restored that way should not need to be downloaded again.

Please do let us know if it tries to install that Mint breaking library :)

Thanks got them.

Been a good linux learning experience so I can't complain. xD

I just ran a quick test on my Debian: cinnamon and libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 can be installed side by side.
So it should be possible on Mint too without too much hassle.

Break things.
Fix things.
Learn things.

That’s why I love GNU/Linux ;)

Okay so whenever I try to install libsdl2-2.0-0:i386, copied right from the game card I get this.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 : Depends: libwayland-egl1-mesa:i386 (>= 10.0.2) but it is not going to be installed or
libwayland-egl1:i386

And that is with the "-0".

In the terminal I'm putting "sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libasound2:i386 libasound2-data:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 libfreetype6:i386 libqtgui4:i386 libcurl3-gnutls:i386 libglew1.10:i386", copied right from M&B Warband game card.

Perhaps libsdl2-2.0:i386 is the one that does not require libwayland-egl1-mesa:i386 with the ".0"?

I am not sure what's going on but I know Crimsonland requires that same library and I had to install the libraries listed on the game card http://www.gog.com/game/crimsonland and that library did not call for libwayland on my Mint 17.1 machine O.o

I really have no clue what in the heck is going on so the only thing I can suggest is sending us a Support ticket about this so that we can investigate this further.

edit: I will note that I am running Mint 17.1 KDE and not Cinnamon and maaaaybe this is something related to Cinnamon only?

edit 2: you can try the following command, shouldn't break your system this time I promise :)

sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update

then

sudo apt-get upgrade

Okay I may have to do that... this is a complete copy of what I'm seeing on fresh install of Mint 17.1:

Reading package lists... Done

Well, I would say "install the other one" but I'd recommend holding off anything for now since I've indirectly broken your Linux install once :/

This is a bit beyond me so a Support ticket will have to do :)

I'll send one..

But I do remember I had the same issue with the Witcher 2... but I don't have Witcher 2 downloaded right now to install. But I remember a member of the community created a zip file with the required packages and I dropped that straight into the Witcher 2 directory. It was the only way I could get it to work on Mint 17 Cinnamon.

If that download is still up, I grab that package and drop into M&B.
