Applications and Porting / Re: How to build Barony Game
« Last post by Borley on November 20, 2024, 03:41:20 pm »
Some progress has been made with OpenAL. OpenAL patches are buildable through https://github.com/damiencarol/Barony/tree/openal_refresh

The build process has changed a bit since starting this thread.

Code: [Select]
apt install libgl1-mesa-dev libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-net-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libphysfs-dev rapidjson-dev libglut-dev libopenal-dev libvorbis-dev
Code: [Select]
cmake .. -DFMOD_ENABLED=OFF -DOPENAL_ENABLED=1

make -j 4
Copy game assets books, data, fonts, images, items, maps, models, music, sound, themes into the directory from which you will be launching the barony executable.

It should be matter of running
Code: [Select]
grub2-mkconfig --output=/boot/grub2/grub.cfgfrom some kind of rescue environment, eg. after booting Fedora installer ISO with the rescue parameter. IIRC there are versions of petitboot that do not support BLS directly and versions that do support it. So knowing the details about the initrd load failure would be useful. The usual "make backups, etc." applies before doing any changes :-)

General Hardware Discussion / Re: KVM cross-endian guest on POWER8 / IBM S822L
« Last post by kth5 on November 20, 2024, 01:48:21 pm »
I had big-endian at first (in PowerVM) but I ultimately decided to run little-endian upon a re-install using Opal as that's also the primary build of ArchPOWER and I figured I have basically zero entitlements on the box anyway (original owner unknown, ebay steal at just 250EUR shipping included so I don't complain).

I'll have a look at installing ppc64 on a spare drive once I either get to the datacenter or get remote management set up properly. ASMI is unfortunately not providing remote serial nor virtual disks. :(

I want VMs for all three architectures in the end though, ppc64le, ppc64 as well as ppc 32bit which works awesome on Blackbird.

My upgrade from F-40 to F-41 on a bare metal IBM LC912 (aka Boston) went OK, no problems booting after the upgrade. But I spoke with a colleague today and he reminded me some old(er) issues that were related to grub.cfg not being compatible with the parser in petitboot or grub-mkconfig failing to run (depends on petitboot / firmware version). I think that's what we are seeing here. If that's true, then the fix should be to recreate grub.cfg.

I agree in your assessment that it appears to be related to petitboot/grub.cfg.  Is there a help page somewhere that shows the proper way to recreate grub.cfg?

Just curious: not possible to run big on both host and guest? I'm not sure why that's happening to you, but I'm curious to see if it's the mismatch that's the problem, or running big that's the problem.

On my T2 v/AMD graphics, I upgraded to F41 from the terminal in Gnome via the dnf plugin as described on the Fedora website.

After restarting, the screen went blank for more than five minutes, during which time the machine didn't show up on the network. From experience I knew not to restart. I played a game of chicken with myself regarding connecting to the BMC via ethernet, which I won.

Eventually the login manager appeared.

I don't know if this will help anyone else, but it was my experience.  :D

That's typical and expected. You can tail the log by logging in as root on another VTY. I didn't get a chance to update the Blackbird yet, but I plan to do so no later than the Thanksgiving long weekend.

Not sure why my pics don't post directly, but I can't seem to attach files either.  I get this error.

"The upload folder is full. Please try a smaller file and/or contact an administrator."

My file is well under the limit.

It is really sad that so many people are suffering because of the politics in Debian.  It is really bad for people who spent money on the Raptor hardware and it is also really bad for my family, friends, neighbors and many other people who had these political problems forced upon them by the social media set.

all i know is the installer was broken, i'm sure it still is lol
