GPU Compute / Accelerators / Re: Blackbird Radeon RX580

« on: November 08, 2021, 12:54:21 am »

Hi, unfortunately it is the same problem that I have pointed out since the Linux Kernel moved to version 5.14.X.  From this Kernel version onwards, at the moment, AMD GPUs no longer boot and you need a Kernel up to 5.13.19 to make it work.  They showed me a post where they understood the problem but I don't know how to do that procedure they talk about to avoid this ...

Just updated to 35 as well and I confirm that it sucks exactly like the previous version.  I don't understand why after all this time and the reports made, they still haven't implemented this patch themselves ... It's really grotesque I would say, how this gnome works on Fedora!  Is there a wizard that you know of?  I don't know how to implement it manually unfortunately ...

Operating Systems and Porting / Re: [NEWS] Debian 11 is out

« on: November 06, 2021, 11:48:20 am »

I'm also experiencing boot issues with Bullsye that didn't previously occur with Buster. The problem apparently always goes back to starting with AMD GPUs. At the time of loading the Kernel, I am currently using version 5.12.8 compiled by myself, during startup at some point, usually the screen goes black, you see the cursor that stops at the top right and then AST shuts down and the external GPU starts up. It has happened to me more than once that after the screen is cleaned, the Kernel loaded, the cursor at the top left remains there and does not switch with the external GPU and everything freezes and I must necessarily turn off everything and restart as it was totally blocked ... Which Buster did not do, so I suppose it is a problem related to Bullsye it seems ... For the rest I also noticed a general performance improvement compared to Buster and it took because it was a bit slow and jerky indeed!

Guys, you have abandoned the development of Chromium on Power from what I see ... unfortunately everything has stopped for months ... If there were the sources I would have compiled it myself but unfortunately there is nothing beyond the version 87, a real shame because it is the browser that is best of all damn ...

Eventually I managed to sort it out on my own. I saw a site where it reported to add for Bullseye, a repository line that is not there. After I put it on it allowed me to download the slightly newer firmware and that point the graphics card started. Instead I tested the new Kernel 5.15 but the problem of not starting with the GPU unfortunately remains a curse ...

Hi everyone, I need to understand how to install firmware for AMD GPUs on Debian 11. I have done some tests by downloading and installing what should be the latest firmware but I have not solved the same. Can you give me the procedure to download and install the firmware you need in bullseye for the AMD gpu? Thanks

I think I understand the problem anyway, I was able to read the initial error message and it tells me it can't find the GPU firmware! I wanted to see if I had the firmware updated by trying: sudo apt install -t bullseye-backport firmware-realtek firmware-iwlwifi firmware-linux-nonfree but it tells me that bullseye-backport I don't have them in release and therefore I can't install ... I have to understand so how to recover this updated firmware ...

But I don't think that's the MPC problem as I've always used the GPU activation file in the xorg.conf.d folder and it always worked.  It worked with Debian 10, works with all Fedora and all Ubuntu.  So I really don't think that now I have to do this suddenly ...

Good evening guys, after having irreparably damaged the Debian version 10.7 so far, I decided to delete and re-install everything. I installed version 11 and now after compiling a Kernel with 4K pages to start the Radeon 5700 XT graphics card, I realized that at startup it gives me a GPU error and does not start with that but always starts with AST. Can you tell me if it's a Mesa or Wayland problem or something else I don't know? I know that the Mesa drivers have been updated to version 20 or higher on Debian 11 so there shouldn't be this problem ... Currently it starts by default with Wayland but I don't remember how to disable it to tell the truth, always if you need to do it, maybe not need to disable Wayland now ... What do you think I'm missing? Hey Daniel Pocock, best wishes for your Talos II bought by my friend in Italy, what do you think is happening since you are Debian expert? Thanks

Hi Borley, no I don't have anything else open but now it doesn't load completely anymore, unfortunately it got damaged and I guess I have to delete everything and reinstall Debian ... Damn ...

Hi guys excuse me, I was trying to upgrade debian buster to bullseye but something went wrong. While he was doing all the upgrades he put himself in stenad by, I was out of the room and I did not notice and now he no longer takes the commands sudo apt-get upgrade or sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and tells me that the dpkg is locked and I need to make some changes. What exactly must he do that I don't understand? Thanks

Operating Systems and Porting / New Ubuntu 21.10

« on: October 17, 2021, 04:02:09 am »

Guys, the new Ubuntu 21.10 is out and as I imagined, it has a much smoother and more normal Gnome 40 handling than Fedora. Canonical has in fact waited to use this version just to fix some of the problems it had and so now we at Power can also benefit from a normal and fluid interface almost as it should be. Also on the audio sector they preferred to stay on Pulse Audio and not switch to Pipewire given the problems encountered with the dedicated sound cards and which I myself have reported to the Fedora team. I upgraded yesterday morning and have been testing the system ever since, everything seems to be running fine and as it should so far.

So it is a bug that really exists, not only I see it thank goodness ...! I hope that this change will be included in the next 5.15 so at least we can resume regular use even with the Radeon 5700 or others ...

Operating Systems and Porting / Re: [NEWS] linux kernel 5.14 is out

« on: October 02, 2021, 01:10:23 pm »

Hi guys, I confirm what was said in the previous post about this version of Kernel 5.14. I tried to compile and install a later version than the first stable I tried at the beginning, version 5.14.2, but unfortunately the problem persists. This time I did more tests and I saw that using Ubuntu Server and then I think all the distros in server version, then the kernel starts and obviously I start it using Blackbird internal graphics. Then I installed the graphics part and I started Ubuntu always with Blackbird's AST and even here no problem, everything worked as it should. When I entered the classic configuration file to start my Radeon 5700 XT, the problem manifests itself as before. So ultimately I can confirm that unfortunately the drivers for these cards have again undergone a regression and currently it is not possible to use the 5.14.X Kernel with these cards ... It's just a disaster with these continuous regressions, I don't understand what they combine to make certain problems happen after a long time that the cards are out and working regularly, unbelievable ...
