Boomaga discontinues service under EndeavourOs.

[Lehmeiers]

Hello!

Unfortunately Boomaga 3.0.0-2 no longer works under EndeavorOs.

I have already tried several things. New installations, with Pamac and with yay, instructions like sudo cupsctl --debug-logging,
https://github.com/Boomaga/boomaga/wiki/Debugging or https://github.com/Boomaga/boomaga/wiki/Boomaga-backed,-how-it-works.
The whole process so far can be read here ( German ) :
https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/boomaga-starte-nicht-im-kde/65748/16 . This applies not only to KDE but also to XFCE.

The directory /usr/local/bin/ is empty and the directory /var/spool/boomaga/ does not exist for me.

I have no idea what else to try.
I am even toying with the idea of reinstalling the OS.

Who has similar problems and how did you solve this problem?

Many thanks in advance.
Yours sincerely, R.Lehmeier

If you can revert your installation of Ghostscript to v9.53.3 and your version of libpaper to 1.1.28, I would try that. Apparently, the most recent version of Boomaga is incompatible with the most recent version of Ghostscript. I wouldn't hold out hope for a fix. It appears that Boomaga has been orphaned and is no longer being maintained.
