Hi Michael,MichaelMerkel wrote: Fri Jun 19, 2020 8:16 pm yes. i tried my old card (6870) and that worked! there i executed the bandage stuff. then also the current card works.
I tested it today. Both are working. I was able to boot with "-z" and without "-z".
You're right, I tested again with "-z" and that works. I suppose the first time, I made a syntax error elsewhere on the line ...
I wrote some instructions for installing Fienix 3.0-20200426 on a hard disk for the X5000 a month ago.corto wrote: Mon Jun 29, 2020 2:55 pm Anyway ... I still don't know how to install the system once it is booted from USB.

I created a tutorial video for the Fienix Open-Source Gaming series: Minetest Tutorial
Additionally, some games were recently updated to their most recent release including Blobwars, PRBoom+ and xmoto.
Please let me know if you run into any issues.

For anyone else using an unsupported graphics card (I have a 7750), I thought I would post how I was able to get Fienix working correctly.
1) Copy /usr/lib/fienix-gpu-bandage/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf (just to boot -- I did it from another distro I had installed)
2) Log in as root
3) In /usr/share/glib-2.0/org.mate.background.gschema.xml change the value of "background fade" from true to false
4) Run glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
5) Log in as fienix
6) In the menu System/Preference/Personal/Startup Applications, turn off Redshift (I also turn off Blueman since my machine doesn't have a bluetooth card)
These changes are all related to the graphic card and not problems with Fienix, per se.
Hope this helps anyone else with an unsupported graphics card!

Let me know if you run into any issues.

caseycullen wrote: Wed Jul 29, 2020 5:50 am Hi everyone; I'm looking for feedback. I've been thinking about updating the default desktop theme for Fienix. I'm thinking about something like this:
If you want to try out the new theme and tell me what you think, I packaged a "draft candidate" .deb that you can download here. After you install it, go to Control Center, Appearance, and select "Fienix Default".
Both this proposed theme and the current theme, called Materia, are "Material Design" compliant themes (Material Design is a design language - mostly flat, simple shapes, responsive interface, etc.), so they're somewhat similar, but feel free to let me know if you like Materia better, or if you have any other feedback!
Thanks,
-Casey

Thanks to EXL, the developer of the open-source NXEngine, for committing changes so it builds on PowerPC. Both the engine and the game data (released by Studio Pixel as freeware) are in the repository. Just install the package "cavestory", and if you experience any issues please let me know!

Download Fienix 5.0
This is a test beta and it needs more testing. The image contains many new packages that I have tested already. Additionally, there is a new repository named "Fliegend" (German for Flying), that contains new versions of many packages. Please install packages from the new repository and test them. Describe any bugs you encounter in this forum.
What's New:
- Most apps are updated and available in the "Fliegend" repository. Please try them and let me know about any bugs.
- Fienix-Companion is an app that provides information and can help resolve issues. Some features are not finished yet.
- The classic theme (based on Materia) is currently used, but a new "Fienix-Default" theme is installed. Please try using the new theme and let me know if you like it. Should this theme be default or do you like the classic theme more?
- A "GPU compatibility mode" is enabled by default. This uses fbdev and disables some special effects. Use "Fienix-GPU-Enabler" in Fienix-Companion to enable hardware acceleration.
- Kernel 5.15 is included
- Fienix 5.0 Release Video (via YouTube)
Known issues:
1) Bleachbit: does not work; I haven't tried rebuilding it yet. If you're able to rebuild it successfully please let me know.
2) Fienix-Companion: unfinished functions: Fienix Tour Video, Fienix Reference Guide, Supported Hardware, Install Curated App Suite, Troubleshooting Guide, Fienix Merch Store, and Assist the Project / Maintainer's Manual (finished functions: Setup Libre Cloud Services, Fienix News, Fienix-Desktop-Mechanic, Fienix-GPU-Enabler, Fienix-Pkg-Mechanic, Support, Donate)
3) Fienix-Companion: if you need to restart, you will need to do it manually - clicking the "restart" button does not currently work.
4) Qt app theming: not implemented, Qt apps should work fine but they currently look out of place.
5) Redshift: is known not to work with GPU compatibility mode.
5) You still need to dd the image to a disk and increase the disk space using GParted. Fienix-Installer isn't finished yet.
Other ways you can help the project:
- If you know what you're doing, add the Debian sid repo and test packages. Since the majority of Fienix packages are Debian imports, it is good to know about problems "upstream". Additionally, if there are functional applications not currently in the Fienix repositories we can add them.
- If you are a particularly good technical writer and you'd like to assist with the Fienix Reference Guide, Supported Hardware, and/or Maintainer's Manual send let me know.
- If you are a good general writer and you'd like to contribute to Fienix-News let me know.
- Take a look at the Fienix Support page once in a while and help other users if you're able to.
