Hi All,

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
Then I installed this xserver with the following command:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-fbdev_0.4.4-1build5_powerpc.deb
Then I renamed the xorg.conf to xorg.conf.bak in the directory /etc/X11.

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.

Cheers,
Christian

Hi All,

I was able to install the deb package of SpiderWeb 2.2.2 on the MATE PowerPC Remix (ubuntu MATE 17.04) today.

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

Does this just contain pre installed binaries or does it also include deb packages?

Okay. Thanks. Yeah that's not much good to me updating an existing install. Even if it contains debconf settings it's not much better than the current broken powerpc mirror files, I'd prefer an ISO image with latest packages I can use as a source.
