How to update on Linux ? - miguelillo84 - 12-31-2016
I just received the Dolphin sensor bar but I only can use the wiimote at mode 4 (emulation mode). I read that it works since 5.0-876 version. How can I upgrade from 4 GIT version?
Thanks.
Edit: I just update ussing:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dolphin-emu
But i also can use the wiimote. Help!

Don't bother using ubuntu repositories, they're outdated. And supposedly the user maintained PPA is also broken on 16.10
Follow these directions to compile from git

What exactly is broken on 16.10? The dolphin-emu-master package is up-to-date in the PPA.
Btw, the package is updated daily now.

I'm actually revisiting my AppImage thingy. If you're fine with downloading ~50MB every revision, we can work something out.

The vzeroupper glibc problem. Now fixed in 16.10 but not in 16.04, but we covered this in IRC.

People can update glibc on 16.04 using ubuntu toolchain ppa:

RE: How to update on Linux ? - leolam - 02-01-2017
Wouldn't recommend doing this though, as glibc is a critical part of the system and you generally don't want to use a PPA for critical things, especially in case there is a security update.
RE: How to update on Linux ? - Helios - 02-02-2017
Agreed.
It's certainly possible, but unless you have a very specific reason that something you need will only work on 16.04, it's not a great idea.
Actually, wait. Can't you just make a 16.10 chroot/LXC container and run Dolphin in that? That seems like a better idea than replacing a core component with a PPA maintained version, although more complex since running X11 stuff in a chroot is a bit of a chore.
