Since the latest update of Xubuntu to use the Ubuntu 14.04 repo’s Slic3r doesnt work anymore, since this computer can’t run Win7 effectively I need someone to explain to me like I’m a complete retard, e.g. SPELL IT OUT. what I have to do to fix it. The error I’m getting is that the Perl being used is too NEW for Slic3r. Since the upgrade Perl 5.18 is installed instead of Perl 5.14 and I can’t find a way to downgrade it to this version without completely removing linux e.g. Repartition my drive and reinstall an OLD version of linux and NEVER updating it.
Hardware im using:
Compaq Mini 110 with 2GB mem (Atom n270)
Repetier 0.84 and Marlin V2 firmware
Velleman K8200 3D printer
This computer is in NO WAY capable of installing Windows 7 or 8, it is just WAAAAAAY TO SLOW. Don’t even start saying I have to virtualize Win7 which makes it even more impossible to run. And most importantly it was working fine before: as in WITHOUT.A.GLITCH. So there is NO REASON VALID ENOUGH to say that my computer needs replacement or that I need to install Windows 7 to get it to run (NO I WONT INSTALL WINDOWS XP, IT IS NOT SUPPORTED ANYMORE AND I DON’T WANT IT ON ANY OF MY COMPUTERS)
(I’m sorry if I sound condecending but I have had so many trolls on the other forums (RepRap, Slic3r, Repetier) saying these stupid things that I’m done with it, I want it spelled out step by step, so I’ll spell it out to you what is or isn’t possible on this machine)
