Operating Systems and Porting / Re: Debian 12 status?
« on: October 28, 2024, 01:32:27 pm »
Yet back then when I used the Kernel with 4K pages for a while on Fedora, which also had big problems with the Kernel in 64K version, it was enough to change the setting in the Kernel with 4K pages options and it worked. In any case, the mystery remains of what could have changed from Kernel 6.2.X onwards and what above all was changed in Debian 12 compared to Debian 11, to give these problems now...

I tried to compile a 6.11.4 kernel with 4K pages after updating the firmware but it still doesn't work. However, I was unable to update the mesa drivers, it tells me they are up to date but probably another procedure is needed to install them. I then decided to compile a 6.1.114 long-term support kernel and that works fine and I'm using it now while waiting for the problems for the new Kernels to be resolved. I have been able to verify that the problem occurs from version 6.2.X onwards, something has been changed in the Kernel and Debian 12 no longer works. However, the thing that I still don't understand is why Debian 11, which is older, works fine with all Kernels including 6.11.X, while Debian 12 doesn't work... A regression that I don't understand...

33
In any case I don't understand one thing Daniel, if Kernel 6.1.X works, why shouldn't the subsequent ones? What changes from 6.2 onwards to give these problems? In fact it seems that it is always a graphics card problem because I noticed that it loads the Kernel regularly and then when it has to do the classic switch from AST to Radeon, the list screen that it executes when it loads comes back and then it freezes at that point... So it really seems that it doesn't switch to the graphics card. I wonder if in fact as you said, if you try to update the mesa drivers and the firmware, as you made me do at the time to start the Radeon on Debian 10, the thing can be resolvable but I also wonder how it is possible that 6.1 works at this point given this problem if it is this, of firmware and mesa drivers... Maybe from 6.2 there are new AMD Radeon drivers that need these updates and therefore it is not on purpose but at this point I wonder, why on Debian 11 it works fine with any new Kernel and Debian 12 which in theory should start already more updated, does not work anymore? Is it possible that the firmware of Debian 12 is older than the one you made me update at the time on 10 and 11? Or that the Mesa drivers are older than those in the same way? All this is very strange...In any case I entered the repositories to update the firmware and then I ran the update and it actually updated some parts of AMD GPU, then I tried to search for a Mesa update but it tells me they are updated but the version it brings me is 22 and I think that instead it should be updated to 24 if I'm not mistaken... Is it possible to update the Mesa drivers to the latest stable version? If so, what commands should be executed?

34
So it's a known issue on 12 as far as I can see damn. Using the default one which is 6.1.32 it works fine but I might try to compile a 6.11.X with 4K pages at this point... at least see if it works like that...

35
Yes you are right indeed, it makes no sense that they should enter into other people's private lives without even knowing how things really are and then discredit people as a result. I hope you can fix things for the best anyway, listen Daniel, when you can try to read my just opened post about the new Kernel problems on Debian 12, I need support from someone like you who knows Debian well and develops... Thanks in advance!

Operating Systems and Porting / Problems with new Kernels on Debian 12
« on: October 20, 2024, 03:29:07 pm »
Guys I redid the correct installation of Debian 12, at the time I had made a mistake because I had put a repository that had brought Debian from 11 to 12 but had not updated the repositories and I had not therefore noticed this lack and in fact Debian broke at a certain point. I had returned to 11, I used it until yesterday but today I wanted to do the correct procedure to update to 12. Well after having done everything and also installed the repositories correctly, modifying the file /etc/apt/source.list, I tried to compile the latest kernel 6.11.4 but unfortunately it does not work. Even those that I had previously compiled and installed for Debian 11 such as 6.10.1 or 6.11.2 do not work and then I understood that there is something that does not work in Debian 12 for the new Kernels. The only one that works is its 6.1.32. Do you have any idea what is missing and what needs to be changed to make Debian 12 work properly with the latest Kernels? Could it be that I am missing the backport repository in the list and that is why I cannot install new Kernels? As long as I used Debian 11 there were no problems and all the latest Kernels always worked, I don't understand... :-\

37
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.

38
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...

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.

41
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...

42
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.

44
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...

45
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...
