Do you have the same issue with the stable long-term kernel 5.10.247 ?

I have now done some testing... I was not able repeat the sound problem with 5.10.247, but there appeared a more serious issue. If I do some streaming from net with VLC, after about a half an hour the stream suddenly stops and ...

I do not know whether this is anyhow related to kernels, but there has appeared during at least the last 2 years a strange problem with my Soundblaster Live! card. When I use it with VLC, the soundcard often stops to play the soundtrack and instead sends a continuous, very high tone to the ...

Here is the stable long-term kernel 6.12.67 , created in a Docker Swarm cluster.

Thanks! Seems to work ok with MintPPC on X5000.

The language* packages are Ubuntu packages so you don't find them on MintPPC.

I was able to install the German language support with the following commands on MintPPC32 today.


apt update
apt install task-german-desktop
dpkg-reconfigure locales

I noticed that MintPPC seems to totally lack international language support. 'language-pack.xxx' and 'language-support.xxx' files are missing from the default depos. From where can they be downloaded? BTW, Fienix has the same problem.

Is there currently any way to install Abiword on Fienix? I cannot get spell checking (Voikko) to work with Abiword on MintPPC, so I would like to test it with some other distro.

There is one detail about KVM/Qemu which puzzles me... Can you run a 64-bit Linux distro on X5000 using them? Do they have some sort of Altivec emulation? I suppose that would be otherwise impossible.

I got now OpenGLworking again with VLC! The problem seemed to be that some of the Mesa components were not locked and had been updated to the 25.xxx version. I did run though, the 'Mesa script' some times earlier... Shouldn't it have locked all the Mesa components? Or is it that Synaptic which I use ...

I have the same error messages but without Segmentation fault and the video works.

Strange... Did you earlier lock 'mesa' to an older version as adviced by mintppc, due to some problem in a newer version?

In my system these files are 'pinned' to v. 24.1.6-1 :
libegl-mesa0
libgbm1
libgl1-mesa ...

The package 'Hardinfo2' is not correctly packaged. When run, Hardinfo2 complains about a missing component named 'dmidecode'.
