I thank you two for getting my Network Connection thing working. I hadn't worried about it because like Skateman I had no trouble getting on the internet, but the negative message behind that double-monitor icon rubbed me the wrong way.
If I ever remember my wifi password I can now get that too. None of my other devices or platforms have asked me for the password for years.

I can't make VLC work in Void. If I click on an MP4 a VLC window will open full screen(!), list the name of the file and playing time on the top of the window, then disappear. What could be wrong?

Did you set "
X11 video output (XBC)" in VLC's Video settings "Output"?

Not until now. That did fix the problem, but I haven't been able to find that solution in an on-line VLC manual so far. Thank you for telling me.

Hi All,
I updated the Void PPC img today. It has a boot and root partition including the void-installer.
Download:
void-live-powerpc-20220129.img.tar.gz 2.9G (Img size:
7.5G)
md5sum:
091e98f90252a2f19d8a964261cf9640
New:
- Packages updated
- MATE 1.26.0
- Added kernel 5.10.89, 5.16.0, and the RC1 of kernel 5.17 for the X1000 and X5000 to the small fat16 boot partition (There are also initial ramdisks for booting with a label for the X1000 and X5000 and device tree blob files for the X5000/20 and X5000/40 on the small fat16 boot partition. LABELs: "VOID_BOOT" for the small fat16 boot partition and "void" for the ext4 root partition)
- Added kernel modules for the kernels 5.10.89, 5.16.0 and 5.17-rc1
- Added Mesa 21.3.3_2 with fixes for old ATI R300~R500 GPUs
- Added gparted
- Added unzip
- Updated Arctic Fox to version 39.0
- Renamed the libglamoregl.so to libglamoregl.so.bak
- Added autofs
- Added pipe-viewer
- Added youtube-dl
- Added zsh
- Removed packages from /var/cache/xbps
- Changed to NetworkManager for the network configuration
- NOPASSWD for sudo commands for the members of the group wheel
- Accessing of partitions without password (polkit configuration modified)
You can image your USB stick with Void with the following commands (Example for sdb):
-
Code: Select all
dd if=void-live-powerpc-20220129.img of=/dev/sdb
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
-
You can use
GParted for enlarging the partition and resizing the root file system.
Booting Void from a USB stick (Example):
X5000:
-
Output: ... scaning usb for storage devices... 1 Storage Device(s) found ...
-
-
Code: Select all
X5000> setenv bootargs root=LABEL=void rootdelay=5
-
Code: Select all
X5000> fatload usb 0:1 1000000 uImage-5.10
- X5000/20:
Code: Select all
X5000> fatload usb 0:1 1c00000 cyrus-p5020.dtb
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
X5000> 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-5.10
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.
ViewTube is updated automatically in Arctic Fox and InterWeb. Maybe you have to configure ViewTube via the 3 dots under the video. I use the embed video with
Embed and play it with
VLC.
Cheers,
Christian
