Hi Skateman,

Could you please test the hardware 3D acceleration with the new Void PPC? There is a new Mesa version on the noboot disk image and I would like to know if it works with your X1900 XT?

Thanks,
Christian

Configure the language (locales) in Void PPC

  1. Choose your language:

    Code: Select all

    sudo vim /etc/default/libc-locales

    Code: Select all

    sudo xbps-reconfigure -f glibc-locales
  2. Replace the locale with yours in the file /etc/locale.conf
  3. Logout and then login again

BTW, here is a screenshot of the Void Installer in action:

Important:

TRIM will not be activated automatically if Void runs on an SSD.
SSD TRIM enables an operating system to inform a NAND flash solid-state drive (SSD) which data blocks it can erase because they are no longer in use. The use of TRIM can improve the performance of writing data to SSDs and contribute to longer SSD life.
I tested fstrim manually today and it works.

I installed cronie and created a cron job for fstrim.

Thanks to Roland for the hint.

Hi All,

There isn't a TV card software available for Void PPC. Therefore I created a TVtime package for Void PPC today.

Download: TVtime_1.0.11_linux-powerpc.tar.gz

Installation:
  1. Unpack the package and create the directory /usr/share/tvtime with the following command:

    Code: Select all

    sudo mkdir /usr/share/tvtime
  2. After that copy the font tvtimeSansBold.ttf to the directory /usr/share/tvtime/ with the following command:

    Code: Select all

    sudo cp usr/share/tvtime/tvtimeSansBold.ttf /usr/share/tvtime/
  3. Then you can start TVtime with ./tvtime.

I have not used Void actively for a long time, and have not even installed the latest (or the last as it is now 'eol') image available.... Is there anything 'special' in it which is not available in MintPPC or Fienix6, that would justify the space it takes on a HD?

I would like to clean from my HD anything which is not anymore needed, and to simplify my life ;-).

Nothing is special from the package side. It boots fast and it has a fast 3D hardware acceleration.

But … Fienix and Debian are our future.
