Seeing if @sharkcz knows anything about it.

If it's at all similar to Fedora or RHEL, there should be other Workstation flavours to try.

Operating Systems and Porting / Re: Improvements for AST2600

« on: March 03, 2022, 03:30:54 pm »

I hope so, though keep in mind it will still never be as fast as a GPU. But I use my Blackbird only with AST graphics, so I look forward to this work.

All that application is, is the front-end. It doesn't do any key extraction. You need the x86-only blob for that and it is not open-source.

I just use NTP (I have a stratum 1 server on the local network).

Maury, I keep telling you: replace the libgraphene library. I even pre-built one, just replace the older one.

It does improve the perf BUT it is still tad slower than GNOME 3.38

Well, I can't argue with that. But it's much more useable than without it.

What exact command did you use? If you copied all the partitions with dd, it should 'just work'.

Applications and Porting / Re: Better VGA in QEMU/KVM-HV/pSeries?

« on: February 18, 2022, 01:52:12 pm »

I haven't played with this myself, but that does seem abnormally low. If you boot, say, Void or some other Live CD Linux distro, do you get the same limits?

I need to update my QEMU, so I can't test it just this moment.

Applications and Porting / Re: CDE 2.4.0c runs quite okay on Fedora 35

« on: February 11, 2022, 11:30:32 am »

I wonder if NsCDE might be a better fit. There should be a Fedora package for it though I've yet to try it myself (I get my CDE fix on my HP-UX and Solaris systems).

Mod Zone / Re: Convert an IBM System X3200 M3 case to be ATX compliant

« on: February 11, 2022, 11:28:30 am »

I actually have a old white Aptiva husk, but it's a little small for a Blackbird, and it has sentimental value (long story).

Anyway, thanks, tle! PM me or whatever and I'll get them posted. People will enjoy it.

I like it! It suits the 'Bird, gives it a T2 vibe. However, 120W PSU standard? Wow, that *is* a joke.

Also, if you have any nice pictures of it, I'd like to do another "ShowUsYourTalos" post on Talospace, so I'd be delighted to feature it.

GPU Compute / Accelerators / Re: AMD GPU at boot

« on: February 02, 2022, 12:30:20 pm »

The main problem with Fedora is libgraphene, which is known, and sharkcz has been looking into it. A simple rebuild suffices to patch in place in the meantime if you are affected.

Talos II / Re: Film on Power9 CPU?

« on: February 01, 2022, 10:46:36 pm »

Excellent! Looks like it's doing its job. P9s are pretty heat-tolerant, also, I'm told.

That's a stonking system you have there. Makes this dual-8 look like a toy. What's your aim for it? Are you using the HSFs, or a custom cooling solution?

The jumper works properly on my two T2s, or at least it seems to. But blacklisting the AST is never a bad idea with a GPU.
