libglamoregl.so and the new Mesa are the issues.

I will install Adélie Linux again but this time the new beta6

But first the beta5 and then upgrading to the beta6.

Download of the beta5: adelie-ppc-1.0-beta5-20240623.img.tar.bz2 2.0G

md5sum: 07ed703a167fe59b7d0dc660fc99821f

Code: Select all

# dd if=adelie-ppc-1.0-beta5-20240623.img of=/dev/sda3

Code: Select all

# e2fsck -f /dev/sda3

Code: Select all

# resize2fs /dev/sda3

Code: Select all

# tune2fs -L Adelie /dev/sda3

Code: Select all

# mount -t ext4 /dev/sda3 /mnt

Code: Select all

# cp -R 6.12.4-powerpc64-smp /mnt/lib/modules/

Code: Select all

# reboot

Login: live without password and after that su for changing to the root user (password: amigaone)

Pinning of the old Mesa because of the Plasma-X11 issue:

Code: Select all

# apk add "mesa<24.2"

Code: Select all

# apk add "mesa-dri<24.2"

Upgrade to beta6:

Code: Select all

# apk upgrade -a

Code: Select all

# mv /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so.bak

Code: Select all

# reboot

OK, Xfce is started automatically by SDDM. After a logout, SDDM appears and you can choose Plasma (X11)

I deactivate the start of Xfce with "rm /etc/sddm.conf.d/xfce.conf*".

I installed Arctic Fox 45.1-r0 with "apk add arcticfox".

Hi
Thanks for the help.
I have upgraded Adelie beta5 to beta6 .
I have renamed /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so and installed arcticfox.
I took the change and renamed /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so in both debian 64 and debian32 and both now boot into the
desktop without error. Really something I am happy about. Can Messa also be upgraded/downgraded in debian as done in Adelie . If so, how do I do it.
Arcticfox close dawn with a segmentation fault arcticfox
Thanks for the help an have a nice day

Hi Musa,

Great, that it works!

You need the old Debian packages of Mesa because there aren't available in the Debian repositories anymore.

Sometimes you can find old packages in the directory /var/cache/apt/archives. Whenever you install a program, the packages (.deb files) get stored in /var/cache/apt/archives.

Debian for PPC and PPC64 are rolling release distributions. They replace their old packages with new ones.

Adélie Linux is a rolling release too but we have luck because we have an old disk image with an old Mesa.

Yes, Arctic Fox isn't reliable.

Have a nice day too.
