Is there anything in particular which (in your opinion) makes Adélie interesting to explore for AmigaOne users, or is it more a matter of "because we can", i.e. another option next to Fienix, Void and the others?

I'm not against the "because we can" motivation at all, just wondering :-).

Best regards,

Hej Niels
The first reason for me is to have as many reasons as possible to use my Amiga x1000. I can because we also can run linux, use almost all the programs that a modern computer can offer within office programs, photo processing, drawing, web server, werbrowser etc. on my Amigax1000.
Installing linux on an Amigax1000 is not for everyday users, but for users with greater knowledge than a normal user(I think). Here I would say that"because we can" is not an insignificant reason. It develops the user to expand his knowledge, which is necessary to be able to make Linux work optimally on an amigaX1000. Whether or not Adelie linux is something I can't live without is hard to say. If it continues to develop it is an exciting alternative to Debian, feinix and Void. Right now it's pretty beta.
God jul og et godt nytår til dig :)
Peter

Thanks for the answer.

Sounds like it is one of the possibilities I should investigate, when I - hopefully soon - get around to trying to get a Linux installation running on my X5k.

Tak, og i lige måde, Peter!

Best regards,

Niels

Adélie Linux uses the APK package manager (Alpine Package Keeper). The APK package manager is very fast, and performs well even on computers with limited resources. APK allows you to add and remove packages, ensure the integrity of installed packages, and perform system updates.

APK refers the entire set of packages you have chosen to install on your computer as a "world". When you install a package, you are adding it to the "world". When you uninstall a package, you are removing it from the "world". The world file exists at /etc/apk/world and is a text file with each package you have chosen to install on a single line.

Code: Select all

apk add <package name>
-> Install a package

Code: Select all

apk del <package name>
-> Delete a package

Code: Select all

apk search libsqlite3.so
-> Search for partial library names

Code: Select all

apk search consul
-> Search for binary names


Config file for repositories: /etc/apk/repositories

Upgrading the system: apk upgrade

Technically, apk upgrade are two steps: apk update, followed by apk upgrade proper. The first step will download an updated package index from the repositories, while the second step will update all packages in World, as well as their dependencies.

If you see errors after the installation of packages then you can fix them with "apk fix".

Start a service by OpenRC:

Code: Select all

# service sshd start
Status:

Code: Select all

# service sshd status
To enable a service, you may use the command rc-update add SERVICE default, where SERVICE is the name of the service.

For example:

Code: Select all

# rc-update add sshd default
To disable a service, and prevent it from automatically starting on system boot, you may use the command rc-update del SERVICE default.

The rc-status utility is a fast way to view the current state of your system’s services.

Adélie Linux uses the s6-linux-init system (/sbin/init). It mounts file systems and starts udev. After that it executes OpenRC for starting the services.

I renamed the libglamoregl.so because of issues in the past.

Code: Select all

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

I tested Adélie Linux on my X5000/40 today.

SSH is activated in the latest noboot disk image.

You can check it with:

Code: Select all

# service sshd status
If you can't log in via SSH then please modify the password from the live user.

Code: Select all

# passwd live
I was able to start Arctic Fox via a Void chroot on Adélie Linux today.

Code: Select all

xhost +
su -
# export DISPLAY=:0
# cd /run/media/live/void
# mount -t proc none ./proc
# mount -o bind /dev ./dev
# mount -t sysfs sys ./sys
# xhost +
# chroot .
# cd /home/amigaone/arcticfox
# ./arcticfox
