Some confused jerk sent the following to the wrong panel yesterday:
"I forgot to test until today. RC6 is working on my original fienix. I don't know about void. It launched OK with rc6 but I couldn't get Eolie on screen. InterWeb came up in void, but I couldn't load this site or my email, so I clicked restart. Warning message, something like eolie is running. If you stop now you might lose work. I tried restarting void and it was a repeat of the first launch. Very relieved when fienix came up OK on next restart.
"Oh, oh! I typed the above, clicked preview and nothing happened. It has now been Connecting... for several minutes. I am saving this with Pluma on Sun Dec 26, 16:32, will find a way to send it later.
"Fienix5 comes up, using kernel 15.1. Will it sent this?"
(Obviously it did.)

Hi All,
I released the
RC7 of kernel
5.16 for testing today.
New:
Download:
linux-image-5.16-rc7-X1000_X5000.tar.gz
BTW, I compilied the new SuperTux
0.6.3 last week.
Download:
supertux-0.6.3-linux-glibc2.23-ppc.tar.gz
You can start it with
./run_game.sh. It works on ubuntu MATE 16.04.7, Void PPC, MintPPC, and on Fienix.
You can also use OpenGL as renderer.
Please replace
sdl with
opengl20 in the file
run_game.sh.
Code: Select all
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./bin/
bin/supertux2 --datadir ./data/ --renderer opengl20
I wish you a Happy New Year 2022!
Cheers,
Christian

Well, I don't think I'll do this any more this year, but I have sort of tested 5.16.0-rc7 and it seems to work.
Let's all have a great 2022.

I've only tried it in Void so far.

But I'm puzzled. I feel like going from 5.16 to 5.10 is going backwards. What's the deal?

This kernel is stable with a long support. It works better in virtual e5500 QEMU KVM HV machines and has already 89 sublevel versions.

Presumably of little value to me, then. I assume virtual e5500 QEMU KVM HV machines are way out of my reach.
