Hi All,
I tested Void Linux PPC on my X5000 today.
First, I extracted the Void rootfs "void-ppc-ROOTFS-20200411.tar.xz" on a free partition on my X5000. It boots without any problems.
You can log into this system as root with the password "voidlinux".
After that I configured my network with the command "dhcpcd".
If it works then "ln -s /etc/sv/dhcpcd /var/service/dhcpcd".
Then I updated my Void rootfs with the following commands:
-
Code: Select all
# xbps-install -u xbps
-
Code: Select all
# xbps-install -Suv
I created a user with the following commands:
-
Code: Select all
# useradd -m -s /bin/bash -U -G wheel,users,audio,video,cdrom,input amigaone
-
Code: Select all
# passwd amigaone
Afterwards I installed MATE with the following commands:
-
Code: Select all
sudo xbps-install -S xorg xterm
-
Code: Select all
sudo xbps-install -S mate
-
Code: Select all
sudo xbps-install -S mate-utils pluma mate-terminal mate-system-monitor mate-applets alsa-utils pavucontrol glxinfo mesa-demos lightdm lightdm-gtk3-greeter
-
Code: Select all
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/dbus /var/service/dbus
-
Code: Select all
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/lightdm /var/service/lightdm
-
Code: Select all
sudo reboot
-
Code: Select all
sudo xbps-install -S hardinfo neofetch vlc wget

I am looking forward about your experiences with Void.
Cheers,
