I thank you two for getting my Network Connection thing working. I hadn't worried about it because like Skateman I had no trouble getting on the internet, but the negative message behind that double-monitor icon rubbed me the wrong way.

If I ever remember my wifi password I can now get that too. None of my other devices or platforms have asked me for the password for years.

I can't make VLC work in Void. If I click on an MP4 a VLC window will open full screen(!), list the name of the file and playing time on the top of the window, then disappear. What could be wrong?

Did you set "X11 video output (XBC)" in VLC's Video settings "Output"?

Not until now. That did fix the problem, but I haven't been able to find that solution in an on-line VLC manual so far. Thank you for telling me.

Hi All,

I updated the Void PPC img today. It has a boot and root partition including the void-installer.

Download: void-live-powerpc-20220129.img.tar.gz 2.9G (Img size: 7.5G)
md5sum: 091e98f90252a2f19d8a964261cf9640

New:
  • Packages updated
  • MATE 1.26.0
  • Added kernel 5.10.89, 5.16.0, and the RC1 of kernel 5.17 for the X1000 and X5000 to the small fat16 boot partition (There are also initial ramdisks for booting with a label for the X1000 and X5000 and device tree blob files for the X5000/20 and X5000/40 on the small fat16 boot partition. LABELs: "VOID_BOOT" for the small fat16 boot partition and "void" for the ext4 root partition)
  • Added kernel modules for the kernels 5.10.89, 5.16.0 and 5.17-rc1
  • Added Mesa 21.3.3_2 with fixes for old ATI R300~R500 GPUs
  • Added gparted
  • Added unzip
  • Updated Arctic Fox to version 39.0
  • Renamed the libglamoregl.so to libglamoregl.so.bak
  • Added autofs
  • Added pipe-viewer
  • Added youtube-dl
  • Added zsh
  • Removed packages from /var/cache/xbps
  • Changed to NetworkManager for the network configuration
  • NOPASSWD for sudo commands for the members of the group wheel
  • Accessing of partitions without password (polkit configuration modified)
You can image your USB stick with Void with the following commands (Example for sdb):
  1. Code: Select all

    dd if=void-live-powerpc-20220129.img of=/dev/sdb
    Output:

    Code: Select all

    15695871+0 records in
    15695871+0 records out
    8036285952 bytes (8.0 GB, 7.5 GiB) copied, 2364.19 s, 3.4 MB/s
    
  2. Code: Select all

    e2fsck -f /dev/sdb2
You can use GParted for enlarging the partition and resizing the root file system.

Booting Void from a USB stick (Example):

X5000:
  1. Code: Select all

    X5000> usb reset
    Output: ... scaning usb for storage devices... 1 Storage Device(s) found ...
  2. Code: Select all

    X5000> ls usb 0:1
  3. Code: Select all

    X5000> setenv bootargs root=LABEL=void rootdelay=5
  4. Code: Select all

    X5000> fatload usb 0:1 1000000 uImage-5.10
  5. X5000/20:

    Code: Select all

    X5000> fatload usb 0:1 1c00000 cyrus-p5020.dtb
    X5000/40:

    Code: Select all

    X5000> fatload usb 0:1 1c00000 cyrus-p5040.dtb
  6. Code: Select all

    X5000> fatload usb 0:1 2000000 uinitrd-5.10
  7. Code: Select all

    X5000> bootm 1000000 2000000 1c00000
X1000:

IMPORTANT: Please connect the USB stick after you have reached the CFE with the f key.
  1. Code: Select all

    CFE> setenv bootargs "root=LABEL=void rootdelay=5"
  2. Code: Select all

    CFE> ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fatfs usbdisk0:initrd-5.10.img
  3. Code: Select all

    CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs usbdisk0:vmlinux-5.10
You can log into this system as amigaone with the password "amigaone".

Installation

You can install Void with the installer (Desktop link) or image the ext4 root partition on the USB stick to a partition on your hard disk with "dd".

For example:

Code: Select all

dd if=/dev/sdd2 of=/dev/sdb6 && e2fsck -f /dev/sdb6 && resize2fs /dev/sdb6 && tune2fs -L void /dev/sdb6
The installer works very well. Please select the bootloader entry "none Manage bootloader otherwise" because we boot Void with U-Boot or with CFE on our AmigaOnes.

ViewTube is updated automatically in Arctic Fox and InterWeb. Maybe you have to configure ViewTube via the 3 dots under the video. I use the embed video with Embed and play it with VLC.

Cheers,
