You can boot Void without Xorg with the runsvdirs single. You have to set the root password before.
For example with QEMU:
Code: Select all
qemu-system-ppc64 -M ppce500 -cpu e5500 -m 4096 -kernel uImage-6.11 -drive format=raw,file=void-live-powerpc-20230317.img,index=0,if=virtio -netdev user,id=mynet0 -device virtio-net,netdev=mynet0 -append "root=/dev/vda console=ttyS0 single" -device virtio-keyboard-pci -smp 4 -nographic
The runit-void package comes with two runsvdirs, single and default:
single just runs sulogin(8) and the necessary steps to rescue your system.
default is the default runsvdir on a running system.

If you need a network connection then run "
dhcpcd".

Test of exFAT with the RC1 of kernel 6.13 on Void PPC:
I have installed the exfat-utils and after that the successor exfatprogs from SAMSUNG via a local repository.

Hi All,
I was able to update Void in the root disk image yesterday. I think, this is the last Void disk image. Please change to
Fienix in the future.
New:
- Noboot disk image (image without boot partition)
- Fbdev is pre-configured
- Renamed the libglamoregl.so to libglamoregl.so.bak
- Yaru themes
- Arctic Fox 40.1
- Pale Moon 31.2
Download:
void-live-powerpc-20230317.img.tar.gz (md5sum: 9e663d6045ffc24e58b7adbd4b9c9629)
If you want to enable hardware acceleration manually, then edit the file
/etc/X11/xorg.conf. Change the "driver" from
fbdev to
radeon.
Please test it.
Thanks,
Christian
