libglamoregl.so and the new Mesa are the issues.

I will install Adélie Linux again but this time the new beta6

But first the beta5 and then upgrading to the beta6.

Download of the beta5: adelie-ppc-1.0-beta5-20240623.img.tar.bz2 2.0G

md5sum: 07ed703a167fe59b7d0dc660fc99821f

Code: Select all

# dd if=adelie-ppc-1.0-beta5-20240623.img of=/dev/sda3

Code: Select all

# e2fsck -f /dev/sda3

Code: Select all

# resize2fs /dev/sda3

Code: Select all

# tune2fs -L Adelie /dev/sda3

Code: Select all

# mount -t ext4 /dev/sda3 /mnt

Code: Select all

# cp -R 6.12.4-powerpc64-smp /mnt/lib/modules/

Code: Select all

# reboot

Login: live without password and after that su for changing to the root user (password: amigaone)

Pinning of the old Mesa because of the Plasma-X11 issue:

Code: Select all

# apk add "mesa<24.2"

Code: Select all

# apk add "mesa-dri<24.2"

Upgrade to beta6:

Code: Select all

# apk upgrade -a

Code: Select all

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

Code: Select all

# reboot

OK, Xfce is started automatically by SDDM. After a logout, SDDM appears and you can choose Plasma (X11)

I deactivate the start of Xfce with "rm /etc/sddm.conf.d/xfce.conf*".

I installed Arctic Fox 45.1-r0 with "apk add arcticfox".

Hi
Thanks for the help.
I have upgraded Adelie beta5 to beta6 .
I have renamed /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so and installed arcticfox.
I took the change and renamed /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so in both debian 64 and debian32 and both now boot into the
desktop without error. Really something I am happy about. Can Messa also be upgraded/downgraded in debian as done in Adelie . If so, how do I do it.
Arcticfox close dawn with a segmentation fault arcticfox
Thanks for the help an have a nice day

You need the old Debian packages of Mesa because there aren't available in the Debian repositories anymore.

Sometimes you can find old packages in the directory /var/cache/apt/archives. Whenever you install a program, the packages (.deb files) get stored in /var/cache/apt/archives.

Debian for PPC and PPC64 are rolling release distributions. They replace their old packages with new ones.

Adélie Linux is a rolling release too but we have luck because we have an old disk image with an old Mesa.

Yes, Arctic Fox isn't reliable.

Have a nice day too.

Cheers,
