Applications and Porting / Re: Chromium and Ungoogled Chromium DNF Repository

Great job, it was a long time since I wanted to understand how Chromium was installed, of which Raptor had spoken well and recommended for Power. Just installed and I must say that it works very well. Thanks vddvss for the procedure!

great MPC, so then why didn't you let me download VLC, you have to enable the fusion repositories, perfect then I will try to perform this procedure thanks good work!

Hi Tim, yet I have tried several times and I could not find it, I had found a site where there are many applications for the various distributions, I went to Fedora and I also found VLC but when I went to download it he wrote me not available for your architecture ...! Where do you get it for example?

So I think the problem is that I'm not creating the custom kernel. The point is that I have to understand how to do that, I need to know what commands to use exactly, to create this custom kernel where the patches mentioned in the guide are to be applied. In the guide there are several operations and I don't know which of those to follow exactly. Maybe I need to run the following commands: $ git clone git: //git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jwboyer/fedora.git
$ git checkout -b my_branch kernel-4.7.4-200.fc24

Afterwards I have to execute the command that I posted that before did not work for me because of too many spaces and then continue with the following points. Am I right or is there any other Meklort?

Hi guys, I'm looking for applications to be able to read bluray discs correctly, do you have any application to recommend?  Unfortunately today VLC is not available on Power, I was hoping for that but it is not available ...

Classic excuses a question, or rather 2, in the article dedicated to Firefox 70 advised to tell Firefox that we are using Power 9, can you write the precise syntax of the command to give to get this?  Second question, I'm looking for an application to be able to read Blu-Ray discs correctly, VLC isn't currently on Power, do you know what you can use as an alternative?  Thanks

Yes Tim in fact I don't remember the derivation well, I had read a document a long time ago but I don't remember the derivation well.  In fact, I also never liked the lack of altivec on Freescale 5500 cores, altivec was implemented on the 6500 cores, but there was no system based on these cores and now that I remember better they were the e6500 cores that were based on  Power 8. At the time I was interested in the x 5000, when I saw that it was already back as hardware before it even went out and it was too expensive I changed my mind. I'm sorry I can't use Amiga OS 4 on Power 9, there must be  something that only recognizes X5000 hardware from what I know ... Amiga was not open but in my opinion today there is no comparable computer operating system level ... it was unique!  I always cry his death ...!

Yes I confirm this your feedback.  I could see that there is a big bug in GNOME version 3.34 for PPC64el.  The problem lies precisely in GNOME as the problem also occurs on Ubuntu as well as on Fedora and is the same problem.  Me if I noticed by chance, when I installed the first time Ubuntu 19.10, after downloading the GNOME 3.34, rebooting the system, just loaded it all, it irreversibly stopped everything.  I had to reboot and realized that there was a big problem and since it worked in server mode, I immediately realized that it could be the GNOME 3.34.  Then I installed Fedora 31 as soon as it came out and did the same procedure as the 30 or after installing the server version, I installed the XFCE package.  I started Fedora 31 and everything was ok.  At that point I decided to install the GNOME 3.34 and after the start there were no problems whatsoever.  I realized that my suspicions were well founded when, due to a mistake, I had to reinstall Fedora.  Yes, because this time I put the GNOME first as a desktop environment and as soon as I restarted Fedora froze exactly the same way as Ubuntu.  At that point I had confirmation of the GNOME problem.  At the same time, however, I realized that if you install the XFCE first and then from inside that, put GNOME then the problem doesn't exist and it works.  If instead you want to put GNOME from the beginning, then everything stops irreversibly.  At that point I also understood that Ubuntu could work in the same way and in fact after the server installation ranking, I put XFCE, then GNOME and so I also made Ubuntu 19.10 work ...

nothing to do, it returns a fatal error telling me that it is not possible to read from the remote repository ... the connection is there and it is good to the internet ... it tells me to make sure I have the correct access privileges and that the repository  there ...

you're absolutely right MPC and I had even imagined it, only if you see the guide, the command is punctuated by those spaces you see in my line, I copied it exactly as it was ... Thanks anyway ...

Waiting for me to be able to answer the previous question about the already ready kernel, I'm trying to do the procedure you posted on the wiki, when I try to run the git clone command I'm going to post to you, it tells me a fatal error, too many arguments. ..

[MauryPower9@localhost ~]$ cd git
[MauryPower9@localhost git]$ git clone git: //git.kernel.org/pub/scm/ linux / kernel / git / jwboyer / fedora.git --depth 1 --branch kernel-5.5.0-0.rc1.git0.1.fc32
fatal: too many arguments

where is error?

but sorry, let me understand, the whole procedure you posted on Wiki, is useful if I have not misunderstood, when you personalize yourself and you compile the Kernel from you, while having this ready, theoretically you don't have to do all those passages anymore, but after executing the 2 commands from petit boot to disable quick recovery, download and then install the kernel with the 2 commands you posted right or not? Let me understand why as I repeat I experience zero on Linux and unfortunately I'm not a programmer so I have more difficulty understanding but I would like to learn something slowly thanks to Linux ...

Meklort you have not answered, I wanted to understand this thing well because it is not clear to me not being a programmer as you are. After installing the development tools, can I go ahead and continue the procedure by copying it from the guide, or do I have to go to the Kernel creation link? Because there is my problem because it is difficult for me to do it ... Let me understand ...

sorry but after installing the development tools, you have to do everything that the custom kernel compile link reports ?? It seems to me very complex for someone like me ... I don't think I can compile it I don't understand anything unfortunately ... you can't have one already compiled?

they are quite a few steps and it won't be easy since I'm still a beginner on Linux, I'll try to perform the whole procedure and if I encounter difficulties I'll let you know ... thanks a lot
