Same process as my previous mail. That repo has both ARM64

the correct one.

New computer, lost msg.

But it picks (and synaptic) both select the 5 yo version.  Going to the
the openscad/downloads and scrolling down, which is the correct one please?

After the 2 steps of adding the repository from the
mail earlier, synaptic should show "openscad-nightly"
in addition to the old "openscad".

I don't know how to refresh the package list in
Synaptic. Maybe after the 2 steps from earlier

curl -fsSL
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/t-paul/xUbuntu_24.04/Release.key
| sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/obs-openscad.gpg

echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/obs-openscad.gpg]
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/t-paul/xUbuntu_24.04/
/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/obs-openscad.list

also do:

sudo apt-get update

I hope this 3rd step with the update is also picked
up by Synaptic.

ciao,
Torsten.

Sounds like it's unhappy with http instead of https for accessing
the repo. I'm not sure if that would prevent other things from
installing.

While we are doing command line anyway, what's the result of
running

sudo apt install openscad-nightly

ciao,
Torsten.

That probably goes back to the other error where it did refuse
to access http://archive.neon.kde.org

A first step could be using synaptic to change this to https
instead. I would assume that shows up in Settings->Repositories
in synaptic.

ciao,
Torsten.

Sounds like it's unhappy with http instead of https for accessing

While we are doing command line anyway, what's the result of
running

sudo apt install openscad-nightly

Nvr  mind, I just found it in the menu's, latest version and it appears
to run ok for its opening screen.    Now if I can do the same with the
flashforge's version of OrcaSlicer, I'll be off and running.  Thanks for
the quick responses, much appreaciated.(sp)

Cool, crossing fingers that it will work. A 3d printer without
the software driving it is a very sad thing.
