From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm trying to run simple64 in Linux Mint but I'm getting error messages that I don't know how to fix. (lemmy.ml)

Edit: I'm no longer looking for help with this. The issue seems to be with the app itself and I have submitted a bug report for the app on github.

Before you tell me I should try another n64 emulator, I have been using other emulators but I have a game that isn't working and I'm trying to run it in other emulators.

Anyways, if I try to run simple64 through the terminal, I get the error message:

Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"

I tried to look into this and it seems that I'm supposed to install "xapp" but I'm getting the error message:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: xapp : Depends: libxapp1 (= 2.2.8-1) but 2.8.2+virginia is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I tried to fix it with sudo apt --fix-broken install xapp but it's just giving me the same error message. Is there anything else I can try before I try another emulator?

Not really - report your issue on their issue tracker if you can and feel like spending your time on it, then move on (and maybe check back in some time). Flatpak are meant to fix dependency issues, there's not much you can do if they got it wrong for whatever reason.

Ok, I'm actually in the process of filling out the bug report right now.
