Void Linux
Re: Void Linux
Hi Kilaueabart,
Thanks for testing Void! Please try the ROOTFS 20210820. This ROOTFS is already configured and has more software included.
Have a nice day,
Christian

Yes, the patched WebKit web browser Epiphany.

Starting to work on the actual browser application now...

There were several endianness regressions (bugs) in JavaScriptCore that I've tracked down and fixed together with Daniel Kolesa (Void Linux). Many, many interfaces in WebCore have changed and those changes had to be reflected in my code (even if they were simple type/enum changes 70% of the time). Still, a working rebase proves that there's future for Wayfarer and 1.x wasn't just a one-off.

Re: Void Linux
Thanks for the tip! I have followed the Wayfarer thread but did not pay attention to that detail...
I installed it now... It works but seems to be still very unstable and cannot load any complicated sites. I was not able to load bookmarks from any html file I tested, either. Compared to Wayfarer it feels still quite 'alfa'.
Does it work for you, and can you import bookmarks? Is it more stable in X1000?

Hi Roland,
I haven’t tried Epiphany on my X1000 yet.

Re: Void Linux
Ironically, that was the first one I put in my new partition dev/sda8, but apparently I didn't unarchive it. I cleaned out sda8, copied the 20210820 archive in again, unarchived it, and tried to run it, but it failed with a note that nothing could be found to boot.
The problem seems to have been that it hadn't unarchived to the partition, but to a folder named "void-ppc-ROOTFS-20210820" in that partition. Not knowing what else to do, I tried copying everything in that folder out to the partition. Now when I try run void it looks like it is working, the boot-up text getting to a line that says "void-live login:" before going to a flashing multi-color screen with a text cursor in the upper left corner. Thinking maybe there would be clues in the boot-up text which flashes past way too fast to read, I videoed it and copied out the last page:

Re: Void Linux
Maybe you need to use a xorg.conf with Driver "fbdev". Roland also uses a xorg.conf.kilaueabart wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 10:20 pm Now when I try run void it looks like it is working, the boot-up text getting to a line that says "void-live login:" before going to a flashing multi-color screen with a text cursor in the upper left corner.
Please create the following xorg.conf in the directory /etc/X11.
Code: Select all
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
EndSection
Section "Device"

Re: Void Linux
I'm still doing something wrong, but adding xorg.conf to /etc/X11 does make a difference.

void-live login:

If I try typing at the text cursor I sometimes get a character to join the blinking, and there is a new text line above it that reads something like logitech-bldpp-device 00032010.0005: HID** 1.0 device connected.

Maybe glamor is the problem. Please rename the libglamoregl.so to libglamoregl.so.bak as root.

Re: Void Linux
Hi Roland,
I installed and tested the Eolie WebKit web browser on Void Linux today and it works better than Epiphany. It loads websites very fast. You don't need to start it with the activated variable "WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE".

Christian
