@neauoire Oh that's me yesterday when I was trying to build wireworld.rom

@neauoire One of the reasons I'm rockin' Debian stable. Just realized I can't use that config I found online for my terminal emulator, because the version I have is two years behind upstream.
Guess I'll have to hope for better luck in the next biennual update.

@neauoire First check your libs, perhaps the file is installed in some non-standard location?
sudo ldconfig -p
And there search for libporttime.so output.

Should be something like this:
libporttime.so.0 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libporttime.so.0

If is not there, you can install portmidi package and link your libportmidi.so to libporttime.so like this:
ln -s libportmidi.so libporttime.so

Then reboot your system and should be fine now.

@neauoire Porttime does things that are taken care of by more modern versions of the standard library. Portmidi has been without a maintainer for a long time and has some latency issues on windows. Contrast these with portaudio which is a bit old-fashioned but still actively maintained.

@neauoire If you still have that WiFi password and have some time to kill in the name of reliability, now might be a good time to set up full system snapshots and atomic upgrades. Failed Arch upgrades are an absolute nightmare to roll back from in my experience.
Since it's Arch there might even be an AUR package that sets it up for your.
Good starting point (haven't personally tested it though): wiki.archlinux.org/title/Snapp

@csepp I have a USB stick that I use to flash back to when I miss things up. So far that has been pretty good. I have copies of all the tools I use, it's all uxn stuff, takes 500kb at most to bring back text editor, wiki, etc..

@neauoire Is that enough for system restoration? I've had a few scares involving Arch and GRUB, so if I was living on a boat with only spotty internet connectivity, I'd definitely add more failsafes and redundancy. But I need my laptop to do time sensitive official stuff, so your threat model might be different.

@csepp yeah, I've tested it. My image has both X11 and SDL which is all I need to get uxn running.
