Hi Peeps, I really like the Fienix, its quite nice.
a few questions,, on the X5000 when I enter the commands separated by the ; , to make the boot linux button work, when I hit enter it boots so how do it do saveenv, I tried adding it to the end of ;saveenv. but that causes a kernel panic, lol
Also Video card acceleration, what to I need?
I have the 250x in it, do I need a newer RX or an older card. thanks
keep up the awesome work.

Do you use the correct root boot argument? Please post a screenshot of the kernel panic. Unfortunately you can’t use hardware 3D acceleration with your graphics card. You need a Radeon HD 6xxx or lower.

It sounds a little like you have misunderstood something about UBoot (if I'm not misreading your explanation).Freemilk wrote:on the X5000 when I enter the commands separated by the ; , to make the boot linux button work, when I hit enter it boots so how do it do saveenv
First, you need to be in the UBoot command line.
Then you enter:
Code: Select all
setenv linuxboot="..."
After that, in the next command prompt, you enter saveenv, i.e. what you save is the definition of the linuxboot variable.
The next time you boot and get to the menu, using the Boot Linux button should execute the commands and boot Linux.
Best regards,
Niels

Awesome, I guess I was just tired and didn't make the connection there.
here is the command in case someone else needs it
SATA 0 is my Amiga OS 4.1 SSD
SATA 1 is my Fienix SSD
setenv linuxboot ="sata init;setenv bootargs root=/dev/sdb2 rootdelay=5;fatload sata 1:1 1000000 uImage-4.20;fatload sata 1:1 1c00000 cyrus_p5020_eth_poweroff.dtb;bootm 1000000 - 1c00000"
saveenv
Working now thank you, I am trying various video cards from my pile.
fun fun.

Fantastic! Well done!
BTW, I created instructions for setting up the button "Start Linux" last year.

Did you install Fienix on a USB stick?

Thanks for the help, changing '#autologin-user=' to autologin-user=fienix did the trick.caseycullen wrote:Fienix uses LightDM; the answer is documented in https://wiki.debian.org/LightDM

I was looking for an IRC client, but couldn't find one to install, did I miss it, if not, any chance to add one?

You can change the root password by opening a terminal and then entering;
su (enter)
passwd root (enter)
Just follow the directions. When finished enter 'exit' and you're done.

Pidgin has IRC connectivity. If there is a specific client you'd like to use let me know.

Re: Fienix - New PowerPC Distro
I just released a bunch of updates for Fienix. Most are fairly minor. Let me know if there are any issues.
