If it worked it would allow pciex16 256mB cards to be used .

I was fiinally able to to test MATE PowerPC Remix 2017 v. 0.9. It works nicely - thanks Christian!-)
A couple of questions...
How could I copy all Firefox settings/bookmarks from Remix 0.8 to 0.9? I was not able to find any directory labelled 'Firefox'...
Synaptic reported there are two broken packages in Remix 0.9: libsmbclient and python-samba. Are they necessarily needed, or should they be removed?

Hi Roland,
You can also backup your whole Firefox configuration (including all profiles). Copy your Firefox configuration directory with the following command:
Under the Remix 0.9 you can restore it with the following commands:

BTW, I was able to boot the MATE PowerPC Remix 2017 0.9 with the RC6 of kernel 4.17 in a virtual e5500 QEMU 2.12.0 machine with a VirtIO graphics card:

My pleasure! Thanks!Roland wrote:I was fiinally able to to test MATE PowerPC Remix 2017 v. 0.9. It works nicely - thanks Christian!-)
You can export the bookmarks via the menu Show your bookmarks - Show All Bookmarks - Menu Import and Backup - Backup ... - Select a backup file name and a location for saving the backup json file. Under the Remix 0.9 you can import your backup json file via the menu Show your bookmarks - Show All Bookmarks - Menu Import and Backup - Backup ... - Restore - Choose file ... - Select the location and the backup file. Choose the button Open.Roland wrote: A couple of questions...

Synaptic doesn't work anymore because there aren't any repositories available. You can install new packages with dpkg -i. You don't need to remove the packages above.Roland wrote: Synaptic reported there are two broken packages in Remix 0.9: libsmbclient and python-samba.

Re: (X)(L)ubuntu (MATE) 17.04 Zesty Zapus
Could other users of Mate Remix 0.9 please test the GL-Billard which is included in the 'Games' submenu... I noticed that when doing 'aiming' before a shot, it can be only done with arrow keys, which is very inaccurate. Aiming with mouse (by pressing a button and moving) does not work at all, even though it should (works ok in Intel distros I tested). Is it the same for all other users, or is this problem only in my system? A bug in the PPC version...?
There seems to be a quite few other bugs in this game, too, but they seem to be common to all environments!

Hi All,
A big apology to everyone who uses Radeon SI graphics cards. The MATE PowerPC Remix 0.9 doesn't have a FBDEV driver installed so Xorg doesn't work with Radeon SI graphics cards. You can still install it if you like.
Instructions:

Instructions:
- Please login via SSH to the MATE PowerPC Remix
- You can get the FBDEV driver with the following command:
Code: Select all
wget http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-fbdev/xserver-xorg-video-fbdev_0.4.4-1build5_powerpc.deb
- After that you can install it with
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-fbdev_0.4.4-1build5_powerpc.deb
- Then reboot your AmigaOne. Xorg works with Radeon SI graphics cards now.
Cheers,
Christian

I tested the MATE PowerPC Remix 2017 version 0.9 with the kernel 5.9-rc4 in a virtual e5500 QEMU machine today.
First, I had to boot the img with a serial console output (serial stdio). After that I downloaded the Xorg fbdev xserver with the following command in this serial console.
Code: Select all
wget http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-fbdev/xserver-xorg-video-fbdev_0.4.4-1build5_powerpc.deb
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-fbdev_0.4.4-1build5_powerpc.deb
After rebooting the virtual e5500 machine, Xorg works with the VirtIO-GPU without any problems.
I will release a new img with the Xorg fbdev xserver and with the new Arctic Fox in the next weeks.

Christian

If you can't change to a higher screen resolution then delete the xorg.conf in /etc/X11 and try it again.
