Adelie v. 1.0 Beta6 has been finally released!
https://blog.adelielinux.org/2024/12/15 ... -released/
Upgrade instructions are simple:
Code: Select all
Upgrading to BETA6 from any previous release is easy. Edit /etc/apk/repositories to have:
https://distfiles.adelielinux.org/adelie/1.0-beta6/system
https://distfiles.adelielinux.org/adelie/1.0-beta6/user
then run apk update && apk upgrade -as to review the changes. Drop the -s to upgrade.
But trying to run the 'apk update' command does not work:
Code: Select all
% sudo apk update
fetch https://distfiles.adelielinux.org/adelie/1.0-beta6/system/ppc/APKINDEX.tar.gz
ERROR: https://distfiles.adelielinux.org/adelie/1.0-beta6/system: UNTRUSTED signature
WARNING: Ignoring https://distfiles.adelielinux.org/adelie/1.0-beta6/system: No such file or directory
fetch https://distfiles.adelielinux.org/adelie/1.0-beta6/user/ppc/APKINDEX.tar.gz
ERROR: https://distfiles.adelielinux.org/adelie/1.0-beta6/user: UNTRUSTED signature
WARNING: Ignoring https://distfiles.adelielinux.org/adelie/1.0-beta6/user: No such file or directory
2 errors; 733 distinct packages available
This issue seems to be different from the one Christian mentioned in his previous mesage....

Roland,
Thanks for reporting!
You can also upgrade Adélie only with "apk upgrade -a". I have done it but it has the same Xorg issue like the old Beta5.
Cheers,
Christian

libglamoregl.so and the new Mesa are the issues. I will install Adélie Linux again.
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
# cp -R 6.12.4-powerpc64-smp /mnt/lib/modules/
Code: Select all
X5000> setenv bootargs root=LABEL=Adelie
Code: Select all
X5000> load sata 1:1 1000000 uImage-6.12
Code: Select all
X5000> load sata 1:1 1c00000 cyrus-p5040.dtb
Code: Select all
X5000> load sata 1:1 2000000 uInitrd-6.12
Code: Select all
X5000> bootm 1000000 2000000 1c00000
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:
Upgrade to
beta6:
Code: Select all
# mv /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so.bak
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".

MATE installation instructions for Adélie Linux:
Code: Select all
# apk add mate-complete
# apk add mate-common
Xscreensaver launcher: One click to activate it in the background. It would start after some minutes without activity. With the second click it starts immediately. Command for the script via a launcher:
Code: Select all
kill $(pidof mate-screensaver) ; xscreensaver || xscreensaver-command -activate

Extraction of adelie-ppc-1.0-beta5-20240623.img.tar.bz2 came out "adelie-ppc-1.0-beta5-20240623.img 12.9 GB Raw disk image" here. Surely I have done something wrong? It's too tiny.
Also trying e2fsck, etc., got me only "No such commands"!

12.9 GB is OK.

Please try it as root again. (su - or sudo su -)

Thanks! That helped a lot until I got to cp -R 6.12.4-powerpc64-smp /mnt/lib/modules/, where the response is cp: cannot stat '6.12.4-powerpc64-smp': No such file or directory.
Where is cp copying from? I looked in /lib/modules/ and find 6.12.0-rc1, -rc3, -rc5, and -rc6, but no -rc4. And I apparently trashed uImage6-12 at some point.
By the way, some of your instructions for booting Adelie may not work on my machine. E.g. load sata 1:1 1c00000 cyrus_p5040.dtb will probably generate two complaints: sata and cyrus_p5040 unknown. I had been booting Adelie with this mysterious command: adelie=setenv bootargs root=/dev/sda11 console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 ; fatload mmc 0:1 1000000 uImage-6.13 ; fatload mmc 0:1 2000000 cyrus_5020_eth_poweroff.dtb ; bootm 1000000 - 2000000. This is essentially a copy of my run fienix command but I don't remember where I got it. Part of the mystery to me is why two conflicting(?) console=s?

cp can’t find 6.12.4-powerpc64-smp. You can find this directory in the 6.12.4 kernel package.

It’s only an example for booting from a SATA disk on an X5000/40.
You’re booting from the onboard microSD card (MMC) on an X5000/20.
Thanks for testing.

My attempts to run Adelie fail because the machine can't find an init process anywhere. How might I fix that?
Poking around, I find initrd.img and initrd-6.0.0-6-powerpc64 (to be extracted?) in /boot. Along with config-6.0.0-6-powerpc64, System.map-6.0.0-6-powerpc64*, vmlinux, and vmlinux-6.0.0-6-powerpc64. I wonder what that 6.0.0-6 is all about.
*Not a map, but pretends to tell where to find one.

Maybe there was an issue during copying Adélie to the partition.

This is a kernel for other PowerPC machines like Power Macs.
