Operating Systems and Porting / Re: [NEWS] Fedora 42

It seems like a lot of my problems have been coming from Mesa-freeworld this time around. Replacing with Fedora’s stock Mesa seems to have alleviated my most immediate problems; still have yet to see Xfce via X11 work so far.

I'm still experimenting with it on the Blackbird, but the Talos I'm keeping on F41 for right now, though it would run Wayland fine with the WX7100.

Yeah, looks like X11 is pretty dead for KDE and GNOME. Neither of them will start. Other X11 wms will work fine.

I ran into an issue where Xfce only wants to start in X11 mode on the AST2500, which I’m 99% I can work around by creating /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/21-gpu-driver.conf and populating it anew. In Wayland it appears to be pretty rudimentary, but hopefully it’ll work in the future.

I rewrote all that example code and entered the width and height in the required parameters, those of a photo that I'm trying to run.

Now I managed to get it to start, I made a mistake in the startup file after compiling and then I didn't understand where to put my file. I managed to get the image to start, everything is,
thank you very much Classic!

Update. I am continually updating daily. About 2 weeks this broke both kmail and konqueror, with neither loading. Bug reports have been submitted to KDE, link below.

Otherwise system has been stable and fast with no other major hickups.

Yesterday I tested the installation of F42 on a clean disk with full encryption enabled. The installation went almost perfectly, I had a minor problem with setting up the keyboard. Gnome got up as expected on three monitors, two connected to WX 7100 and one to ASPEED.  Kernel 6.14.0 works fine, SDD is handled extremely fast.

Unfortunately, after upgrading to 6.14.4 and 6.14.5, I can't fire up the machine. The dialog asking for the disk password shows so briefly that I can't manage to enter the password.

Yes perfect thanks, yesterday I looked on github but I hadn't found this part yet. Above all I have to understand how to enter the path each time to make it send the photos I have to display to the screen. It seems that for each new photo I have to write all these lines of code, good work then...

Something like this would give you a starting point: https://github.com/bitristan/libjpeg-sample/tree/master

Hi Classic, thank you for the information, I knew I could count on you. Listen, is there a general procedure or a written code to understand in detail how to write? Always thanks

Yes, with libjpeg. Works pretty much anywhere.
