Void Linux

[xeno74]

Hi All,

I was able to update Void in the root disk image yesterday. I think, this is the last Void disk image. Please change to Fienix in the future.

New:

• Noboot disk image (image without boot partition)
• Fbdev is pre-configured
• Renamed the libglamoregl.so to libglamoregl.so.bak
• Yaru themes
• Arctic Fox 40.1
• Pale Moon 31.2

Download: void-live-powerpc-20230317.img.tar.gz (md5sum: 9e663d6045ffc24e58b7adbd4b9c9629)

If you want to enable hardware acceleration manually, then edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Change the "driver" from fbdev to radeon.

Please test it.

Thanks,
Christian

There are backup mirrors that will allow you to install software and updates, but be aware the repository has not been upgraded/updated since December of last year.

Repo link: mirrors.servercentral.com

I was able to configure the repositories from this backup mirror.

vim /usr/share/xbps.d/00-repository-main.conf

Code: Select all

repository=https://mirrors.servercentral.com/void-ppc/current/ppc/

vim /usr/share/xbps.d/10-repository-nonfree.conf

Code: Select all

repository=https://mirrors.servercentral.com/void-ppc/current/ppc/nonfree/

After that I was able to install unrar.

xbps-install -S unrar

Output:
