On which task does Thunderbird freeze? I never observed such behavior.

General OpenPOWER Discussion / Re: critical mass of developers
« on: November 11, 2020, 07:32:13 am »
Having RCS distributers all over the world would be a first step. But more important, in my opinion, would be to have a super cheap PPC64le (POWER8+ compatible) device to attract more developers to the platform.
Now this has nothing to do with PowerPC, but my dream would be if all Linux developers would join together to create one single LinuxOS. An OS that you can configure as you like during installation. Starting with the init system, package-management, one source pool etc..
On one side it is good that there are so many distributions, but in the end every distribution fights for itself. One and the same patch is made a thousand times. A waste of time. Microsoft and Apple certainly don't mind for sure.
If all developers would work together Linux would become the number one OS in every area overnight. Exotic hardware would automatically be better supported.
But it will probably remain for a long time that the Judean People' s Front is fighting against the People's Front of Judea.

User Zone / Re: Blackbird User Guide: Wrong TPM connector and 'missing' USB 2.0 port

These are already listed here. The USB-A port is located next to the PCIe 8x slot, sadly.

Talos II / Re: setting up FRONT PANEL.
« on: October 19, 2020, 07:01:31 pm »
Several minutes are several minutes. Certainly not 60 minutes.
Do you have a network and a second computer? If so, I would start the TalosII with the second computer via ssh and see if I can connect at all.
Follow the guide ...
Maybe the power button on the computer case is broken?
