Applications and Porting / Re: Firefox WebAssembly (WASM) on ppc64le? Jitsi Meet, Zoom, etc not working
« Last post by ClassicHasClass on May 04, 2025, 09:23:09 pm »Which checkouts did you run into this on?
Unfortunately, since I'm pretty much a permanent remote worker for the foreseeable future, I'm only on my desktop a few days a month now, so I've been concentrating on what I can do at distance and maintaining a browser isn't one of those things. I will be keeping the patches up for the next ESR but Wasm still doesn't work and it really needs someone else's eyes on it to see what I can't. I'm considering starting from scratch but again it's a time issue.
Chromium's Wasm support does seem OK now, if you can stomach that for the sites you need to use it on.

General Discussion / Re: POWER11, "Cirrus+" Can any of this be substantiated?
« Last post by MauryG5 on May 04, 2025, 04:39:23 pm »I also read something about the production processes of the future Power 11 and I read that they will still use a 7 nanometer even if improved and refined compared to the previous one. Only my question arose spontaneously... Why, in 2025/2026, where the 2 nanometers are getting ready to arrive now and where IBM was also the first to come out with this process years ago, still wants to produce a production process that although I understand it is proprietary ok, in the end IBM customizes all its processes and gives the directives to those who produce them to make them only for it, is now outdated? How come, having this technology first and obviously with more time to perfect it than the others, having arrived first, it does not exploit this advantage and this excellent research and development work at all, to produce its Microprocessors? I honestly can't understand... So much investment money for what I wonder...

General Discussion / Immages in C
« Last post by MauryG5 on May 04, 2025, 04:30:27 pm »Sorry guys, I was trying to insert images in jpg format in a code written in C, but I can't figure out how to do it. I've read various information on the net but nothing that is really useful. I was wondering if it is possible to load images using C as a programming language...

« Last post by Borley on May 04, 2025, 09:06:23 am »WebAssembly is increasingly being used by online check-outs. This is starting to become a usability issue for me, as I find myself falling back to spare x86 machines to do things like making online purchases.

Operating Systems and Porting / Re: [NEWS] Fedora 42
« Last post by ClassicHasClass on May 03, 2025, 10:45:37 pm »Yeah, looks like X11 is pretty dead for KDE and GNOME. Neither of them will start. Other X11 wms will work fine.

Operating Systems and Porting / Re: [NEWS] Fedora 42
« Last post by Hasturtium on April 25, 2025, 09:23:14 pm »All right. Clean install of Fedora 42, reusing the /home folder from my prior Fedora install. It’s all Wayland now, and I’ll revisit Xfce at some future point on this machine. I am using mesa-freeworld for accelerated video encoding and playback. Vulkan works within Gnome but KDE reliably chooses llvmpipe over the radeonsi Vulkan driver, as below.
hasturtium@garlic:~$ MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT=list vulkaninfo
selectable devices:
GPU 0: 1002:73e3 "AMD Radeon Pro W6600 (RADV NAVI23)" discrete GPU 0000:03:00.0
GPU 1: 10005:0 "llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.1, 128 bits)" CPU 0000:00:00.0
How do I beat it upside the head to understand my point of view?

Operating Systems and Porting / Re: [NEWS] Fedora 41 is out!
« Last post by Hasturtium on April 23, 2025, 01:34:19 pm »Point the symlink /etc/systemd/system/default.target to /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target and reboot, and it should come up with a text console login. Log in, do a startx (assuming your .xinitrc is configured) and away you go.
You are very nice. Thank you!
