I also made some minor additions like additional printer support/drivers, additional samba support, ibus input methods, glade user interface designers for development, and a bunch of LV2 plugins for LMMS and Audacity.

@kilaueabart: Please install ibus, ibus-gtk3, and whatever modules you want such as ibus-anthy (Japanese) and ibus-hangul (Korean). Hopefully this is what you're looking for, let me know.

@kilaueabart: Please install samba, smbclient and hplip. Hopefully this allows you to use your printer. You can also install system-config-printer if you want to add Print Settings to your Control Center.

@Roland: In Synaptic, please click on vlc, then Package menu, and Force Version. Choose the 3.0.10 version. After vlc 3.0.10 has installed, install vlc-fienix. If Synaptic does not allow you to Force Version to 3.0.10 you may need to remove and reinstall the vlc package.

@Roland: If your /home subdirectories are still not populating when you create a new user, try entering the following command after you add the user:

Code: Select all

su - username -c /usr/bin/xdg-user-dirs-update

Thanks!

Hi Michael,

Please format the FIENIX-BOOT partition with FAT16 and copy the initial ramdisk and the kernels to this partition. I think we should use FAT16 for the FIENIX-BOOT partition in the future.

yes - that worked. at least the boot process started. but it failed at some point with a black screen IIRC.
maybe my graphics card is not supported?

CFE tells me i have a "Radeon HD 7800 Series" card installed...
hmmm... it is in fact a "R9 270x" if i can trust sysmon and afaik

1. Boot up your system, when the black screen appears press CTRL + ALT + F1 to switch to console
2. Log in as su
3. Enter "apt-get install fienix-gpu-bandage"
4. Enter "fienix-gpu-bandage"
5. Press 1 for Yes
6. Reboot

1. Code: Select all

   setenv bootargs "root=LABEL=FIENIX-DISK rootdelay=5"

2. Code: Select all

   ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fatfs usbdisk0:initrd-5.5.img

3. Code: Select all

   boot -elf -noints -fatfs -z usbdisk0:zImage-5.5

   It takes a long time. I would recommend you vmlinux-5.5 instead:

4. Code: Select all

   boot -elf -noints -fatfs usbdisk0:vmlinux-5.5

NOTE: I had some problems to load the initial ramdisk and the zImage from the FAT32 FIENIX-BOOT partition. I formatted this partition with FAT16 and copied the initial ramdisk and the kernels to this partition. After that I was able to load the initial ramdisk and boot Fienix with the zImage-5.5 or with vmlinux-5.5. I think we should use FAT16 for the FIENIX-BOOT partition in the future.

username: fienix
password: fienixPW
root password: rootAdminPW

I successfully tested these instructions with my A-EON AmigaOne X1000 today.
