Kernel 6.8 Alpha3 up and running on my AmigaOne X5000

Icons showing up on the desktop after booting seems to take longer than normal. Besides this, no strange things found yet..

I wonder if this will confirm that he RC1 of kernel 6.8 is working on my troublesome computer. Preview says it will:

I am having weird problems not only with linux on my AmigaOneX5000, but also with my ASUS laptop, which can no longer access my email. I can do email on my phone, on my tablet, and my daughter can get it one her Windows machine, but I have to use the laptop, the phone, or come here to fienix on my X5000!

Among my fienix problems, I was messing around with this and that in the Menu one day recently, and something I did ended up adding the circles with an up/down arrow, a "9," and an "A" inside on the upper right as seen in the image (https://ibb.co/WnFB8p3). Clicking on them doesn't seem to do anything, but who knows? I have no memory of what it was in the Menu that caused it.

Hi Kilaueabart,

Many thanks for testing the RC1 of kernel 6.8!

The email issue is strange. Did I understand it correctly, that you can access emails with your X5000?

The new BrassMonkey has also an email client.

Further information and downloads

Cheers,

Hi Kilaueabart,
...
The email issue is strange. Did I understand it correctly, that you can access emails with your X5000?

This is not an issue for this forum, but the issue is indeed strange. I have an email account at gmail.hawaii.edu. I have always been able to get a log-in page with any web browser, but about a week ago the browser I usually go to first for email, namely Microsoft Edge (it is a hair faster than Eolie or Sea Lion), started telling me there was no such site or looking for it had timed out. The problem is limited to my ASUS laptop. I can log on to my email acoount from my phone and my tablet easily. And last night when I booted up the ASUS a pop-up suggested installing Chrome, so I gave that a try and could get to my email. Today, however, Chrome has sided with the browsers that don't work.

So I'm back to doing email from fienix on the X5000. Not great, because it takes FOREVER to delete one email. (One upside: both Eolie and Sea Lion do just as good a job as Microsoft Edge at reading my on-line facsimile edition of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser newspaper.)

This kernel has been patched with the dpaa-v2.patch because of an issue with DPAA on Ubuntu 16.04.

It's suitable for old Linux distributions which don't work with the latest kernels for example Ubuntu 10.04.
It's also suitable if you have some issues with the latest kernels.

@Roland
Could you please test this kernel? I want to make sure that it works for you.

@Skateman
Please test the DPAA Ethernet.

@All
Of course you can also test it.

Thanks,
Christian

I have compiled the stable longterm kernel 5.10.208.

Works ok with MintPPC. Thanks .
