I completely agree with Classic, I don't think Risc V can compete with the Power architecture, let's say it's a world apart.

TLE I saw your post on the Fedora bug report on Chromium which I opened and I also saw a post by another user who says to try the version that ends in 88-2. I have just installed the latest version which should be after 88-2 or 99 and as I also reported on Fedora Bug, it still doesn't work and always makes the same error and freeze...

Operating Systems and Porting / Re: Debian 12 status?

« on: August 12, 2024, 05:35:04 am »

Guys sorry, do you think it is possible to manually install Chromium 127 in Debian 11? I am still using 11.9 and I would like to wait a little longer to switch to 12 because I like the Gnome 3.38 version better than 40 and therefore I would like to keep 11.9. Only that I saw that Chromium after version 120, is no longer updated and I saw that now it only comes out on Debian 12. I wrote via Twitter to Rapotor but I never received a response. I was wondering if by downloading and installing it manually, I could put it on 11.9...

Perfect thanks TLE friend, I also reported to the Fedora team but no one has responded yet, there is a report open for some time now and you can read it by going to the site dedicated to Fedora problems on ppc64 that you may have already read.

Unfortunately it still doesn't work for me either. After 5 minutes of use it locks and then after a few minutes it closes on its own...

But from which day this? I did the last update last week and the defect continued to do the same. I also reported the problem 1 month ago to the Fedora team but they never responded...

Sorry but why are you using the 4K page size? AMDGPU drivers have long since eliminated the bug that occurred at the time for the default page sizes used on Power, i.e. 64K. I have long since returned to 64K pages on the Kernel and I have not had any problems for a long time on my Radeon 5700XT. Why do you have to use that size? I still use 11.9 as my Debian version, I have not wanted to update yet because I like Gnome 3.38 better as it is more original in its animations and use, compared to the current Gnome 3.4X... When I am forced to update then I will.

In the Power community you have the support of all of us I think, no one excluded so don't worry about what they say in the Debian team, indeed since there are also precedents, evidently there is a problem in that team which is not insignificant in my humble opinion...

I think it's crazy that even today in 2024, people can still talk badly about Daniel Pocock and his precious contribution to Debian on Power. I would like to understand what these people still want from him and what he still has to do to avoid people talking badly about him! I just hope that this story ends one day because as a Debian user I am very sorry that one of our best Debian developers can be so criticized...

Yes, I can do it but unfortunately I don't know the procedure to use it and provide the necessary information. I installed GDB but I have never used it and I don't know what procedure to follow. Meanwhile the updates continue and the problem persists in the same way...

Just made a new Chromium update but unfortunately the problem hasn't been resolved yet... It seems like this is a long time coming... I don't know if the developers are aware of the problem, someone has reported it to the team Fedora? I haven't used Fedora for a long time so I don't even remember how to do it anymore...

YES after a few minutes it freezes, the hard disk starts reading who knows what and after a while it suddenly closes and stops... It should be reported to the Fedora team at this point, they have to see what's missing...

Unfortunately, despite the latest updates, the Chromium problem on Fedora persists in the same way... Today I installed the latest updates but the problem is the same as before, nothing has changed!

Yes, I also encountered the Chromium blocking defect, I also wrote about it in the post relating to Fedora 40. Fedora itself encounters a problem and writes it and says that it automatically reported it, it freezes, the hard disk starts I don't know what to load and then suddenly Chromium closes and that's it.

I also updated to version 40 and I confirm what my TLE friend said, everything works well on Fedora 40, they have finally made Gnome's performance stable and it's about time I would say. I installed Chromium, I also found the favorites I had on version 87 which were obviously removed because there was no longer support as we all know. Except unfortunately I'm noticing that it has some bugs to fix unfortunately at the moment. I don't know if you too have had the opportunity to try Chromium but at least for me it crashes after a few minutes of use, at a certain point the browser freezes the hard disk starts loading who knows what and then Chromium closes at sudden. Fedora also detects an error on a component and obviously reports it automatically, so the first reports of malfunctions relating to Chromium on Fedora have already started. However, it's great that he's officially back on Fedora, that's what was needed too. Let's wait for them to start solving the first problems now.
