Operating Systems and Porting / Re: [NEWS] Fedora 41 is out!

« on: November 19, 2024, 04:09:35 pm »

On my T2 v/AMD graphics, I upgraded to F41 from the terminal in Gnome via the dnf plugin as described on the Fedora website.

After restarting, the screen went blank for more than five minutes, during which time the machine didn't show up on the network. From experience I knew not to restart. I played a game of chicken with myself regarding connecting to the BMC via ethernet, which I won.

Eventually the login manager appeared.

I don't know if this will help anyone else, but it was my experience.

Chromium is still eventually freezing and crashing for me under both Hyprland and Gnome.

Gnome run:

I just ran dnf update and got:

chromium-126.0.6478.182-2.fc40.ppc64le.rpm

so maybe try now?

The GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() error occurs when the window changes focus, I think.

Initial research indicated this might be a Wayland issue, but it also occurs under X.

Possibly I don't have a dependency installed or at the correct version. chromium-browser was installed with dnf, though.

If the correct procedure is "wait for the actual 40 release" I'm happy to do that.

GPU Compute / Accelerators / Re: Wx9100 on Talos II

« on: March 01, 2024, 04:14:31 pm »

With the 2.10 Talos firmware installed and the current amdgpu blobs in the BOOTKERNFW I now get the petitboot screen followed (after a brief drop-out) by the host os GDM login screen.

Yay!

I added the firmware and Petitboot showed on the GPU again, but then the main OS didn't.

So I removed it.

I either needed to change the fastreset setting, or 5.5 initializing the card doesn't play well with 6.6.

I'll try again at some point in the future but as I say I can use VGA or ethernet for now, I'm just happy the card works with the main OS again.

Petitboot doesn’t work with the GPU now, no. I can always use the network console if the screens don’t come up after a minute, or reconnect the VGA to watch the IPL logs.

I finally got the wx9100 working on newer kernels by flashing an empty firmware directory to BOOTKERNFW .

My 9100 is still cursed. But it does seem to be getting closer to working on anything other than 5.5 4k.

Thank you! I’ll try and target that. Have you made any changes to the skiroot kernel, firmware, or configuration?
