Hi all
I have now got the Adelie ppc 32 working on my X1000
I have spent many hours getting from a terminal to a graphical login and making the system usable. Adelie is a beta system, but also an exciting experience.
Should anyone be interested in trying, here is a description of what I have done.
I have also made an img file with full system. Login to KDE+Plasma
All this is done in a linux system
I have used this iso adelie-live-kde-ppc-1.0-rc2.iso
http://distfiles.adelielinux.org/adelie/1.0/iso/rc2/
I have mounted the isofile so I can access the content.
unsquashfs of the ppc.squashfs file (adelie system)
Terminal : stand in the folder you want the extracted file in.
sudo unsquashfs /media/musa/Adelie-ppc/ppc.squashfs (path to the mounted iso file. Replace my username)
New adelie partition
Mount an empty partition formatted in ext4
Terminal: stand in the root of the folder with the extracted squashfs files.
sudo rsync --stats --progress --numeric-ids -axAhHSP . /media/musa/adelie-kde (the new partition with new name)
Check the contents of /etc/apk/keys
The following files should be there
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
If they are missing, download this file
adelie-rootfs-ppc-1.0-rc2.txz from the adelislinux website
http://distfiles.adelielinux.org/adelie/1.0/iso/rc2/
extract the file and take the missing files from /etc/apk/keys and put them
in the folder where they were missing. Delete all other key files
Check that the file /etc/apk/repositories looks like this:
https://distfiles.adelielinux.org/adelie/1.0/system
https://distfiles.adelielinux.org/adelie/1.0/user
and only that.
Then you are ready to boot your new partition
I use kernel 6.1 with modules because it finds my built-in sound card
If you get an sddn logging then select user live password live or root password live
If you only get to a terminal, log in as root with password live.
and do the following
setting date and time (otherwise apk won't work)
date -s "20 12 2022 13:15:00" use your time and date
set network up. If you only have one netcard, eth0 is used
ifconfig to see active netcard
dhcpcd eth1
ln -s /etc/init.d/net.lo /etc/init.d/net.eth1
rc-update add net.eth1
APK installer
Use first. apk update
If there are no errors, you can proceed
installing programs or deleting programs
akd add program name
akd part program name
Install this
apk add kde
apk add sddm
apk add htop
Now you can start sddm and get graphics login
service sddm start
Here is more for later installation
apk add libreoffice Libreoffice works when the exe file in /usr/bin is made executable
Firefox firefox-esr not working
you can see more programs here
http://distfiles.adelielinux.org/adelie/1.0/user/ppc/
if you want to go back to your root terminal press ctrl alt f1
ctrl alt f7 will bring you back if sddm is still running
Adelie does not use lightdm but SDDM
service sddm stop
service sddm start
Just ask if there is anything missing
Have a nice day
Musa
