Casey,

Maybe the new Mesa 22.0.2 is faster.

Further information

Cheers,
Christian

Maybe the power management is responsible for the performance issue.

Segfaults also occur when package versions are misaligned. (i.e. with a “partial upgrade”)

It's also not possible to configure the power management with the MATE Power Manager.

I updated the package libupower-glib3 and the error messages are gone in the dmesg but it doesn't solve the performance issue.
After that I updated all packages but without any success.

I added the Debian repositories:

/etc/apt/sources.list

Code: Select all

# Fienix 5.1 "Spark"
deb http://fienix.servehttp.com/fienix/spark/ spark main
deb http://fienix.servehttp.com/fienix/spark/ spark additional
deb http://fienix.servehttp.com/fienix/spark/ spark not-foss

# Fienix 5.1 Updates "Spark-Updates"
deb http://fienix.servehttp.com/fienix/spark/ spark-updates main
deb http://fienix.servehttp.com/fienix/spark/ spark-updates additional
deb http://fienix.servehttp.com/fienix/spark/ spark-updates not-foss

# Debian
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports/ sid main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports/ unstable main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports/ unreleased main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports/ experimental main

deb [arch=all] http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
And then I installed Mesa 22.0.2 via the Debian experimental repository.

Code: Select all

apt update

Code: Select all

apt install -t experimental libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx mesa-utils
Mesa 22.0.2 works but the performance issue still exists.

Thanks Christian! It's back up now.

@Casey

Would it be possible to get 'smartmontools' for Fienix...? (if it does not brake anything else)

Good morning.
Please allow a (stupid?) question:

I could successfully manage to get Fienix 3.1 running on my USB stick (on my X5000) with this file and installation guide:
https://fienixppc.blogspot.com/p/u-boot.html

For writing the Image, I used the 'USB Image Tool'.
https://www.alexpage.de/usb-image-tool/

I tried the same procedure with the live image of this link:
https://fienixppc.blogspot.com/p/download.html

But writing the image to my USB stick failed.

So my question: is this file not meant for using with a USB live stick? Or do I need additional software?
Thanks!
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Have you seen any error messages during the writing to the USB stick or at the end of writing?

Thanks,
Christian

Hi Christian.

No, successfully written, but the stick is empty and cannot be acessed/read.
Could it be that my stick is too small? How much space is required for Fienix 5.1?
