Hi Roland,

I installed and tested the Eolie WebKit web browser on Void Linux today and it works better than Epiphany. It loads websites very fast. You don't need to start it with the activated variable "WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE".

Cheers,
Christian

Install the package NTP:
Code: Select all
sudo xbps-install -S ntp
Enable the service:
Code: Select all
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/ntpd /var/service
Reboot and check if the NTP service works:
Code: Select all
sudo sv status ntpd
Output: run: ntpd: (pid 2296) 493497782s

It seems, it takes longer to get the correct date and time with NTP on Void Linux so all SSL certifcates aren't valid. I solved it with modifying the NTP runit script:

sudo vi /etc/sv/ntpd/run

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# exec isc-ntpd -g -u ntpd:ntpd -n >/dev/null 2>&1
exec ntpdate pool.ntp.org

Timezone

The default system timezone can be set by linking the timezone file to /etc/localtime:

For example for Berlin:

Code: Select all

sudo ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /etc/localtime

Void PPC Linux boots very fast and works well in a virtual e5500 PPC64 QEMU machine with KVM-HV:

Hi All,

I released a new Void PPC img with a boot and root partition including the void-installer today.

Download: void-live-powerpc-20211007.img.tar.gz 3.3G (Img size: 7.5G)
md5sum: fb46baf2e013a1dfb641345a49132b77

New:

Packages updated
Added kernel 5.10.39 and the RC4 of kernel 5.15 for the X1000 and X5000 to the small fat boot partition
Added initial ramdisks for booting with a label for the X1000 and X5000 to the small fat boot partition
Added device tree blob files for the X5000/20 and X5000/40 to the small fat boot partition
Added kernel modules for the kernel 5.10.39 and 5.15-rc4
Added labels for the two partitions in this img. ("VOID_BOOT" for the small fat boot partition and "void" for the ext4 root partition for booting with a label.)
Added "ntfs-3g" for Roland
Added WebKit web browser Epiphany
Added Eolie WebKit web browser
Updated Arctic Fox to version 27.12.0
Renamed the libglamoregl.so to libglamoregl.so.bak
Fixed the ntpd run script

You can image your USB stick with Void with the following commands (Example for sdb):

Code: Select all

dd if=void-live-powerpc-20211007.img of=/dev/sdb

Output:

Code: Select all

15695871+0 records in
15695871+0 records out
8036285952 bytes (8.0 GB, 7.5 GiB) copied, 2364.19 s, 3.4 MB/s

Code: Select all
```
e2fsck -f /dev/sdb2
```

You can use GParted for enlarging the partition and resizing the root file system.

Booting Void from a USB stick (Example):

X5000:

Code: Select all
```
X5000> usb reset
```
Output: ... scaning usb for storage devices... 1 Storage Device(s) found ...
Code: Select all
```
X5000> ls usb 0:1
```

Code: Select all

X5000> setenv bootargs root=LABEL=void rootdelay=5

Code: Select all

X5000> fatload usb 0:1 1000000 uImage-5.15

Code: Select all

X5000> fatload usb 0:1 1c00000 cyrus_p5040.dtb

Code: Select all

X5000> fatload usb 0:1 2000000 uinitrd-5.10

Code: Select all
```
bootm 1000000 2000000 1c00000
```

X1000:

IMPORTANT: Please connect the USB stick after you have reached the CFE with the f key.

Code: Select all

CFE> setenv bootargs "root=LABEL=void rootdelay=5"

Code: Select all

CFE> ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fatfs usbdisk0:initrd-5.10.img

Code: Select all

CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs usbdisk0:vmlinux-5.15

You can log into this system as amigaone with the password "amigaone".

Installation

You can install Void with the installer (Desktop link) or image the ext4 root partition on the USB stick to a partition on your hard disk with "dd".

For example:

Code: Select all

dd if=/dev/sdd2 of=/dev/sdb6 && e2fsck -f /dev/sdb6 && resize2fs /dev/sdb6 && tune2fs -L void /dev/sdb6

The installer works very well. Please select the bootloader entry "none Manage bootloader otherwise" because we boot Void with U-Boot or with CFE on our AmigaOnes.

Cheers,
Christian

I successfully tested the new Void img with the default X5000 Linux kernel 5.15-rc5 in a virtual e5500 QEMU KVM-HV machine today.

I tested the GTK+ Pipe Viewer for YouTube on Void today. It works well and it is a good alternative way to watch YouTube videos.
