Operating Systems and Porting / Re: [NEWS] Fedora 39 is here!
« on: November 10, 2023, 08:15:51 am »
So it's out, what do we know about Gnome's performance?  I'm currently keeping Fedora at 37 because you pointed out that 38 was slow and ugly again... How does it look now with 39?  Thank you

General OpenPOWER Discussion / Re: POWER11 on the horizon?
« on: October 26, 2023, 12:37:20 pm »
Yes friends, we agree, I know well that this new soc is a Power 10 and I also know perfectly well that at the time Motorola produced the various series of Power processors in the home version, i.e. PowerPC, together with IBM. Except that at the time it was very different, Motorola we all know that it was another great microprocessor manufacturer and it was the only one that was able to produce excellent versions of this family of CPUs. But let's remember that in any case it is still a slightly revised series for home and not Power processors for servers like we now have and let's always remember that Motorola was Motorola! Now the Power CPU, the real Power CPU is only IBM, even if another company takes the license and produces it, don't forget that the main thing that other companies' products have in common are the instructions. But the manufacturer then makes the CPU, the performance of an IBM product is not that of another manufacturer and vice versa. we know this because we have several examples on other architectures of how performance changes from manufacturer to manufacturer and yet they are always with the same ARM or they are proprietary processes and rest assured that Samsung's 7 nm is not IBM's 7 just as GF's 14 was not IBM's which in fact made its owner use 14... For all these things I say that in any case, it is very difficult for third-party companies to be able to come close to IBM quality also for reasons of investments as well as of technology possessed. For all this I reiterate that for me only IBM in my home and therefore I really hope that with Power 11 they can return like 8 and 9 or totally open so that we can go back to mounting IBM and have their power again in our home like now with P9!

If anything I'm most interested in is IBM returning to its core open source design, so that it has a Power 11 processor that's exactly as open as a Power 8 or Power 9, I'm not going to buy Power CPUs. that they are not IBM because their technology is the best ever for their processors and I don't think that any other company, no matter how good, can reach their level and therefore I don't intend to change companies for these microprocessors. IBM creates it and IBM must produce it or have it produced by one of its direct partners to be the best, this at least is my humble opinion and then obviously it is debatable by anyone.

In my opinion it is more convenient to wait for Power 11, at least as far as I'm concerned, at the moment I don't need to advance so I'm perfect with Power 9 and then apparently there is more possibility that 11 will be completely open as Raptor wants. The only thing I hope is that at least after all the money spent on research and development for 2 nanometers, they can use it with Power 11!

General CPU Discussion / Re: Power10 announcement from Raptor soon?
« on: October 04, 2023, 01:11:49 am »
I think the fundamental point is only 1, I don't think there are many conjectures to make, if IBM releases all the firmware, then Raptor can think of making a Power 10 machine. Otherwise I think, we will hardly see it...

At this point only someone from Raptor can answer directly, at least to know if this thing is real or means something completely different...

User Zone / Print no longer starts and cups doesn't allow sudden changes
« on: October 02, 2023, 12:51:50 pm »
Guys, I have an anomalous problem that I can't explain with Cups on Debian. Suddenly the printing no longer starts but there are 2 things that I don't understand that are really absurd in my opinion. The first is that the system sees the printer as normal and ready to go but it doesn't start. The second is that cups no longer allows me to make any changes, it always tells me that it is forbidden and no longer even allows me to delete and reset the printer from 0. It should be noted that the printer works properly both on another computer and on Fedora if I try with another operating system. The problem is therefore only on Debian which I don't understand why it suddenly stops printing and has cups blocked and no longer editable. Even when it asks me for my user name and password, it continues to forbid me from making any changes. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling cups but the problem persists... I can no longer understand what to do to restore printing...

Perhaps we will never see Power 10 in the home version due to that now famous problem of the firmware not being completely open, which apparently cannot be opened at this point otherwise I think IBM would have already done it... I think by now we are already thinking about Power 11 to help us renew our favorite computers...

Do you mean that Chromium could officially return to Fedora complete with a Raptor repository as already happens on Debian?  It would be a great thing... I just recently picked up Fedora and updated it to version 37 at the moment because it seems to be the one that goes best with Gnome.  I didn't upgrade to 38 because my TLE friend said that unfortunately Gnome on 38 is slow and ugly again... 37 instead finally works quite well for Fedora.

Operating Systems and Porting / Re: [NEWS] Linux 6.5
« on: September 12, 2023, 09:05:42 am »
One day after the classic loading of Debian 12, I noticed that in the favorites bar below, an icon was missing, which was the blue one for the drawers that gives you access to all the files and directories you have in the operating system.  Without that it becomes practically almost unusable as we all know.  After a few days, no software updates arrived either and at that point I said to myself, nothing, I have to save what can be saved and delete everything to reinstall it.  I thought that given all the problems encountered with the new Kernels that do not work and should instead work normally, with the new problems I have, it is obvious that this Debian is now ruined and it is better if I eliminate it.  I keep the copy of 11.7 that I use in reserve on a mechanical HD if I have problems of this type, so I avoid having to reinstall everything from scratch.  However, I think that the mistake I made on that version was when I inserted the repositories with the .DE extension, and that's when the problems started.

I'm testing it, it seems to be fine on Debian 11.7... I temporarily went back to 11 because 12 no longer works for me, after the Kernel problems the file directory disappeared and it wasn't even updating anymore.

It seems that no one has yet managed to understand what afflicts my Debian 12 with the new Kernels... I would say a big problem, I don't know what to do at this point, I wanted to understand if there was at least a way to contact the development taem on Power and ask them what's going on... :(

I did the same command from Kernel 6.1.2 working, from here you can see all the output and apparently while seeing this anomaly on USB 1.4.4 everything works fine and it seems that there are no particular problems apart from this. I send the copied file to gedit of all the output.

I loaded Debian 12 Kernel 6.3 0.2, as soon as it got to the black screen I did CTRL, ALT, F2 at the same time and after logging in, I gave the dmesg command.  I was able to photograph this final part but I don't know how to do the whole part that runs from the beginning because obviously the output is longer and runs... Do you have any suggestions?  Thanks always

damn this is very strange Manatail... It doesn't work for me since I updated to Debian 12, from Kernel 6.2 onwards it doesn't work anymore and I'm forced to use 6.1... I don't understand at this point what's happening, I can try to check what TLE says at this point... But I don't understand this thing, I use Debian 12 exactly like Manatail and others and I haven't made any changes whatsoever... Very very strange...!
