Applications and Porting / Re: CDE 2.5.1 on Fedora 39 (rawhide)

Always liked CDE, but that's probably from my greybeard days in the '90s.

I don't mind using CDE at all if the ecosystem around Motif is still active. It is quite hard to find motif-based apps and other UI toolkits look alien or not working correctly at all.

Applications and Porting / [MISC] CDE 2.5.1 on Fedora 39
« on: July 27, 2023, 07:13:49 am »
I am happy to report that CDE 2.5.1 can be compiled on Fedora 39 (rawhide as of now) successfully.

Here is how:

Code: [Select]
# get the cde-2.5.1.tar.gz from SourceForge
tar xzvf cde-2.5.1.tar.gz

sudo dnf group install c-development development-tools
sudo dnf install pam-devel libutempter-devel libXp-devel libXt-devel libXmu-devel libXft-devel libXinerama-devel libXpm-devel \
motif motif-devel libXaw-devel libX11-devel libXScrnSaver libtirpc-devel xset sessreg xrdb \
libjpeg-turbo-devel freetype-devel openssl-devel tcl-devel ksh m4 ncompress patch \
rpcbind bison xorg-x11-xbitmaps xorg-x11-proto-devel flex opensp libXrender-devel \
xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi rpcgen bdftopcf libXdmcp-devel
cd cde-2.5.1
./configure
make -j32
sudo make install
sudo service rpcbind start
sudo cp contrib/desktopentry/cde.desktop /usr/share/xsessions/
# verify with
rpcinfo -p
# log out from GNOME shell and back to GDM, choose CDE to start the session

Operating Systems and Porting / Re: [NEWS] Fedora 38 is finally out!

Pretty happy with this distro so far.

The most recent update to kernel 6.4.0 is smooth. No bugs that I could pick up.

The only wish I have is more optimisation to mutter and GNOME shell. We have been there before, it is likely GNOME 45 might polish all rough edges before the release of Fedora 39

Firmware / Re: Reduce fan speed during boot

Probably it makes more senses to use it in conjunction with Artic Term Kit board.

I just wish the board is more affordable.

It's been awhile since I heard someone mention "bangBMC".

From what I could see there has been activity in https://gitlab.raptorengineering.com/bangbmc-firmware/br-bangbmc. I am too curious whether this initiative has picked up traction and if it is worthy enough to replace OpenBMC

This distro is definitely on my radar. Once it has reached beta, I am going to go all in.

I don't think there are problems with AMD GPU, the Kernel loads regularly, unfortunately in my case that I use Debian 12, I don't know why, as I also wrote on the other discussion relating to Kernels, from versions 6.2.X Debian 12 doesn't work, not even with their own 6.3.0. Everything loads regularly but when it has to boot from the classic black screen before arriving at the login screen, it always remains in the black screen and you have to restart... But I repeat in this case I think it's only a Debian 12 problem, with Debian 11 itself not happens...

As long as the amdgpu module is loaded correctly (check `dmesg`), it is very likely related to other components in Debian not the kernel

I have not tried it out yet. I hope it does not break the amdgpu.

AFAIK there ain't much changes related to PowerISA

Thanks to MPC7500 for sharing this awesome link to a huge list of scripts to build popular Linux ppc64le softwares

URL: https://github.com/ppc64le/build-scripts

This no doubt comes handy for admins/users

doesn't work for me on fedora 38 or opensuse tumbleweed, worked fine on opensuse leap 15.4 and 15.5, the RPMs that is, but the binary builds dont work either

It no longer work on F38. I have not touched this for a quite awhile. If you have capacity, please give it a try to see if we have to patch anything for F38

I've revisited this awesome game recently. The version 1.2.1 has addressed all quirky video issue. The rewritten graphic engine has help increased the FPS.
