Applications and Porting / Re: QtWebEngine status (depends on Chrome / Chromium patches)

« on: January 26, 2021, 03:12:05 pm »

Hey Daniel, do you mean there is a hang on this patch and therefore all Chromium development on Power has stalled? Damn you have to try to fix it then, you can't even download it anymore and it's a shame because it's the best together with Firefox and it's a big lack for us in my opinion ...

I understand, well tomorrow I'll try to do this thing you tell me and let's see what happens. Listen one more thing in the meantime, no one can answer me at the moment unfortunately, do you have any news of what happened to Chromium on Power? Fedora hasn't updated for a long time and I can't install it on Debian and Ubuntu, what the hell happened?

I don't know I could try it as you say, it costs me nothing.  Create a file I think you mean with a text editor, write 0: 0 and then save it and put it in the resume directory if I understand what you are saying ...

Yes I've seen that perisign talk, but from what I understand non-X86 users don't need that file.  My problem in that procedure is that nothing works for me, I tried to install all the dependencies it asks me but still I can't do anything with that procedure, I don't know how TLE does to make it work, I didn't understand anything.  ..

The nice thing, you know what Xlinder is?  That in any case if you restart the system, the Kernel will find it in any case in the petit boot list and it works perfectly.  Only if you ask the system it doesn't recognize it, it says you haven't installed any 5.10.9 Kernel in this case and so if you want to remove it you have to manually do it file by file.  I would just like to understand why on other distros this procedure works, while on Fedora it encounters this problem in the last command for definitive installation of the Kernel.  Understanding where to possibly correct the defect ... At the end there is only one command to finish everything and it is a shame to stop almost at the end even if it works the same but is not recognized by the system ...

and then you can tell me the procedure you do with the commands you give, I can't do the driving one, if you let me understand what kind of commands you give maybe I can do it too.  In this procedure he says not to find that path, I checked in the sys directory and in fact there is just that path but obviously from where I am, which are in the Kernel folder, he cannot find that path and in fact I do not understand  how come it looks for a path that cannot find in the Kernel folder ...

I solved that problem by removing that option in that section you were telling me Xlinder perfect. Now I have another problem related to the final installation of the Kernel that is the last step before it becomes active and usable. When I do the command "sudo make install" he gives me this error, in practice he says he does not find that path that you see in the error and frankly I do not understand because for example on Ubuntu this problem does not give me and as soon as I run this command, he installs the Kernel in a regular way and makes it active. I wonder why on Fedora is missing this path with these directories and files... Do you have any idea what's going on? Thanks always

hi Xlinder, so I have to disable a function that is called that way in the Kernel, when I make the changes after opening with make menuconfig ... I will try to search for this entry and see if I can find it to disable it ... thanks

TLE here is the error Fedora gives me when I try to do Kernel compilation. After making the changes with "make menuconfig" I execute make -j and press enter.It performs the compilation but when it seems to be finished, it gives this error, what do you think is due to? What correction should be made?
Thanks

ok thanks, I have just downloaded the new stable version of the Kernel, 5.10.9, as soon as possible I will try to do the procedure again, I have installed some other packages, when the error comes out I post the output and show you where it stops ... Time to do everything and I send it ...
Thanks for your availability in the meantime!

User Zone / Re: Working xorg.conf for nouveau driver for a NVIDIA graphics card?

« on: January 23, 2021, 06:53:07 am »

Pay attention to Nvidia graphics cards, I think you all know better than me that they are limited for us at Power, due to the drivers that to take advantage of the 3D acceleration, need the proprietary Nvidia drivers that are obviously not available on Power, a problem that fortunately  there is no on the AMD counterparts ...

No I have not made any changes.  Are 2 items to change in the compilation do you mean?  I only changed those 2 items I was talking about in the other post, other I have not changed ... let me understand better then how to set these 2 options ... thanks

I ask you because the wiki procedure has never worked for me.  I have installed the packages it asks me but giving the commands then nothing works.  I use the universal procedure that is after having compiled the Kernel, I use in sequence: make -j, make modules_install and make install.  It just doesn't work well on Fedora because some specific package seems to be missing ...

Friend Daniel Pocock has already written to the Fedora team to say this, he had already understood the problem for some time and in fact we did some tests on Debian together with him. When I managed to get it started and he always told me that the problem was almost certainly the size of the page, I immediately wanted to try to compile a new Kernel to see if I could get it to work on Fedora as well and I did. Even for Ubuntu the same speech and therefore it is clear that everything is related to the size of the pages. Obviously in the latest driver updates they have made on the graphic cards, they have changed this setting, therefore being that all distributions, for us at Power are compiled at 64K due to the fact that our versions are designed for servers and therefore need more of the version 64K, developers continue to leave the size at 64K. It won't be easy to convince them to change at this point ... Hopefully they can do it or sooner or later ...

Great job TLE, now you too have seen that the problem is only page size.  Can you tell me all the packages you installed on Fedora before doing the Kernel build and installation procedure?  Thanks

Hi TLE, yes, you too try to do the same thing.  I have changed only 2 options of all those that are available in the Kernel that is, CPU used, the Kernels of various distributions must leave Power 8 because they must maintain compatibility with it, we can put Power 9 without problems, then in the Kernel settings  , where it says page size, I change the 64K which is default to 4K.  I don't do anything else and I got both Fedora and Ubuntu working and Pocock started Debian.  So it is evident that the real problem is the size of the pages, evidently the new drivers of these graphics cards have as a feature the change from 64K to 4K and that's why there are these continuous problems ... They leave the page size at 64K,  I also looked at all the settings of the latest Fedora Kernels made by them ...
