Well, slowly I¡¯m learning some of this Linux stuff ! HI I have a couple SD cards that I go back and forth with. What I decided to do was manually install Box86 and Wine thanks to a great how-to article -
?
So, I installed VARA and VARA FM, but neither would run - missing required DLL - a MS Visual Basic. So, I guess this is where Winetricks comes in to save the day. Lots of studying to do - but it is kinda fun and interesting.
I could never get the Pi Apps install routine for VARA to work - it would just stall out in the middle of things. If anyone can point me in the right direction on installing and running Winetricks, I would appreciate it.
I may try that Pi Apps script again but on Ethernet instead of WiFi. Something to try ¡

?Is there a time limit to install something on a RPi or something ? I¡¯ve been trying to install VARA (using the Pi-Apps install) and I¡¯ve noticed that it will go so far in the installation and just stop - I can wait an hour and it never moves. The CPU slider on Conky will go down to idle at 6-7%. I can restart the process and it may get a little farther (since some things are now installed), but it again stalls mid-stream. This is a new Bullseye install with minimal 73Linux items selected.
I installed VARA previously without issue a couple years ago and didn¡¯t have any issues thanks to Jason¡¯s tutorial.
WINE stalls about when installing fonts.
Any suggestions to try ?
