Fienix - New PowerPC Distro

[caseycullen]

Hi Christian,
I made a new Fienix USB disk and booted into it to test installing Gimp. Gimp installed on a fresh Fienix disk.

Christian,
Did you update your repository index first (apt-get update)?
-Casey

Hi Casey,

Unfortunately I can't install Gimp. Error messages:

Code: Select all

gimp:
  Depends: libgimp2.0 (<=2.8.16-z) but 2.8.22-1 is to be installed
 Depends: gimp-data but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: gimp-data but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: libgegl-0.3-0 but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: libmng2 but it is not going to be installed

Cheers,

But ... I was able to solve this issue with removing the package libgimp2.0. After that I was able to install Gimp and it works without any problems. Thanks a lot!

OK great, glad you were able to get it resolved! Good to know, because that might be a issue for anyone who tried to previously install it as well.

Hi All,

I received my Fienix USB stick from AOTL today!

Please check Control Center > Network Settings. If a "Dummy" connection is listed, click on it, then click the Properties button, and disable the connection.
-Casey

I had the same issue on my X5000 and X1000. I disabled the "Dummy" connection but it didn't solve the issue. I was able to solve this issue with /sbin/dhclient <network device>. I would recommend to use ip a or /sbin/ifconfig -a to figure out the correct network device. I wasn't able to boot a kernel from the vfat partiton of the Fienix USB stick with the X1000. I copied the kernel 4.20 to the vfat partition again and after that the kernel booted without any problems. I was able to load the kernel 4.20 and the dtb file after the command usb reset from the Fienix USB stick with my X5000.

Cheers,
Christian

Fienix usb from aotl working . Still no Ethernet though after the dummy one being blocked .using Realtek 8139 from aotl.
Trying/shin/ifcongig -a gives me these readouts.the 8139 works fine on Amiga side.

in the third screenshot there is an enP4096.... adapter which is the working one. I has the 192.168.1.x ip adress.

Check if you can ping your router. (gateway)

Unfortunately to set up the network device with the dhclient is only a temporary solution. You have to set up the network device again after a restart. I figured out, where the problem is today. The dummy interface is configured in the file /etc/network/interfaces. I removed the following lines in this file:

Code: Select all

iface dummy0 inet dhcp

auto dummy0

I added the following lines for the network devices installed in my X1000 and X5000:

Code: Select all

# X5000

iface enP4096p4s4 inet dhcp

auto enP4096p4s4

# X1000

iface enp0s20f3 inet dhcp

auto enp0s20f3

After that the network connections automatically work after booting the X5000 and X1000.

BTW, I boot the Fienix USB stick with the following commands:

X5000:

Code: Select all

X5000> setenv bootargs root=/dev/sdb2 rootdelay=5

Code: Select all

X5000> usb reset

Code: Select all

X5000> load usb 0:1 1000000 uImage-4.20

Code: Select all

X5000> load usb 0:1 2000000 cyrus_p5020_eth_poweroff.dtb

Code: Select all

X5000> bootm 1000000 - 2000000

X1000:

Code: Select all

CFE> setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdd2 rootdelay=5"

Insert the Fienix USB stick

Code: Select all

CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs -z usbdisk0:zImage-4.20

Thank you. Tried the # /etc/network/interfaces .permission denied in mate terminal.lgged in as su.Iam assuming that these are being used after boot up into fienix and not in the uboot command line.the x5000 iface line looks to be a Amiga uboot is this correct.

[caseycullen]

New Moon 28.4.1, the unofficial version of Pale Moon, has been added to the Fienix repository.

[caseycullen]

These are not uboot commands. It should work if you are logged into Fienix as su.
You could also try to open /etc/network in Caja (file manager), then right-click on interfaces and click "Open as Administrator".
