Have you tried installing Server, and then converting to Workstation? This comes up with a text boot, but then you can "startx" to go to GNOME. That's how this T2 is configured.

Still, I agree this sounds like a bug.

Yes, this I have tried, too. On the installer I selected network installation, then selected the Fedora minimal installation. Reboot is successfully. Then I enter:

sudo yum groupinstall "Fedora Workstation", got the following messages:

(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

Then I tried: yum groupinstall gnome-desktop and got this message:

Code: [Select]

No match for group package "totem-nautilus"
But I'm able to proceed with the installation.

After reboot, I enter startx and got the following message:

Wayland or X? If it's Wayland, that might be your problem. See https://www.talospace.com/2019/11/fedora-31-mini-review-on-blackbird-and.html

Thanks. I will look into it. On the installer, I select "Fedora Workstation". After reboot, I got a blank screen without login window. So I can't choose X or Wayland. Even Ctrl + Alt + F2 doesn't work.

Surprisingly, a few weeks ago the update from 30 to 31 worked without any problems. Now neither a Clean Install nor the update from 30 to 31 works. The same error.

I remember using the GNOME Tweak tool under 30.

Is there a bug in GNOME? If I select GNOME on the installer, I don't get a login screen after installation. I even can't switch to the console, mouse doesn't react.

Compare your line with the original one.

Original line:

Code: [Select]

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
Your line:

Code: [Select]

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
@meklort: Thanks for the patch. I have another question, after patching the kernel, will it be replaced in the next update of Fedora or will it remain?

This I have tried. How did you lm_sensors working? lm_sensors doesn't detect any sensor.

Blackbird / Re: Heatsink dual fan configuration

Yes, CPU dual fan config. On the Talos-II it works, on the Blackbird not:

On my 2U HS the CPU is running a little bit hot.

Hello,

I would like to know, if the dual fan configuration works in the meantime on the Blackbird? Was there any progress or any kind of update?

IPMITool works, but what about a GUI, like this one?

Maybe you could do some Phoronix Test Suite benchmarks with the X1000? (Sorry, confused it with the X5000).

On OpenBenchmarking.org I couldn't find any results, but from a T2080RDB from NXP

Yes, BeOS 5.

BeOS was a great multimedia OS, I guess. I never saw it IRL.
Ah, and I have a Playstation 3, no Xbox.

Hello,

in Fedora is there a GNOME shell extension for IPMItool? At the moment I'm using Sensors GNOME shell extensions, but as you know without fan RPMs.

I only have ordinary Apple hardware.

PowerMac B&W G3 300MHz (1999)
PowerBook FireWire G3 400MHz (2000)
Cube G4 450MHz (2000)
PowerMac Quicksilver G4 733MHz (2001)
PowerBook G4 12" 1.5GHz (2005)

The Pismo has a faulty hard drive as it seems and the Quicksilver has a faulty PSU.
On both PowerBooks I will install VoidLinux. Shouldn't be a problem for both.
The only Macs that are problematic are eMacs and iMacs. Both have a CRT without EDID support.

I also have had a PowerMac Quad G5 (Late 2005, PCIe) and now I have a Blackbird.

@ClassicHasClass: Which OS are you running on the BeBox? BeOS 5?

Hello,

while booting I have in Petitboot with AST GPU a resolution of 800x600. Is there a way to change the resolution (e.g. to 1080)? If yes, how?

But if you want to update the FPGA firmware, you have to use a SPI programmer.
