was happily running 0.4.7 for a month or so now.
( being recently, amazed with new textures & mods )
when I today noticed a few mod posts for MT Ver 0.4.9
git hub delivered the deb i386 for my iP5
now I cannot even start minetest - ( the Ubuntu Software Centre - threw an error )
as you can see, I've tried a few. ( Oh wait it don't like .png files = never mind )
where is the launcher program ???
( home/YOURNAME/[CTRL+H].minetest/ . . . ??? )
FOSS gamedev and creative worlds
This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

The distro name is sort of in the title...
Signature antivirus (Linux only): "grep -iv -- Signature\ virus" (minus the quotes, of course)
Signature goes in stdin, viruses are removed, and cleaned signature comes out on stdout.

- but launching the newer one, is a lottery. =( only using 1 workspace )
Home/minetest/bin/minetest 0.4.9. - with my old saved worlds ( and errors )
-OR-
Home/icebolt/([ctrl]+H) .minetest/ = 0.4.7 via ubuntu launcher
Any help from the Tux wearers ?

The software center version is 0.4.7. Some of (the latest) mods don't work with a version older then 0.4.9
I've almost no experience with the packages, so I can't help you with those.
I compile it myself, using (copy/pasting) the instructions in the readme and choosing for the (standard) run in place. This means every time I build a new version, it is build in its own folder and I still have other folder(s) with my older minetest(s). If I want to use an old world, I can drag it to the new version (although I never tried).
0.4.9 giving errors for your old saved worlds is not strange. You probably need to use later versions of some mods. IIrc at least the ore generation has changed between 0.4.7 and 0.4.9. To help you with this, copy/paste part of your 0.4.9 debug.txt (the lines with ERROR in it)
