| Guest9858 | quick question: is Devuan supported on BeagleBone Black ? | 03:20 |
|---|---|---|
| gnarface | mabye | 03:39 |
| gnarface | there was an image a while ago i'm not sure if there are updated ones | 03:39 |
| Guest9858 | I think I see them in https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/dists/beowulf/main/installer-armhf/current/images/MANIFEST | 03:41 |
| Guest9858 | but now I need to figure out which pieces go on the SD card , out of all the pieces listed | 03:42 |
| Tenkawa | Guest9858: no thats just the generic arm device tree blob for the bbb hardware | 03:48 |
| Tenkawa | for the kernel | 03:48 |
| Tenkawa | looks like you can get Jessie or Ascii embedded though | 03:53 |
| Tenkawa | https://files.devuan.org/devuan_ascii/embedded/ | 03:54 |
| Tenkawa | there's a BBB image there | 03:54 |
| Guest9858 | will give that a shot, thanks! installed Debian 10 , but like usual, systemd was really ticking me off | 03:56 |
| Tenkawa | ascii "should" be able to update | 04:01 |
| Tenkawa | I'd just advise not bumping the kernel too much | 04:01 |
| Tenkawa | the bbb is fairly old | 04:01 |
| * Tenkawa still has 2 of them around here somewhere | 04:01 | |
| Guest9858 | they are nice if a bit slower ; I want to learn how to program the PRUs, which seem to be a pretty neat feature | 04:03 |
| Tenkawa | yeah the PRU's were one of their nicer features | 04:04 |

| Klinon | I managed to install LXDE but xfce4, cinnamon-core, mate-core and gnome-core have unmet dependencies and are not going to be installed. | 15:53 |
| Klinon | Should I use something newer than ASCII to be able to meet xfce4's dependencies? | 15:53 |
| hyrcanus | i dunno sorry Klinon | 15:55 |
| Klinon | k, I'll just use LXDE for now then | 15:55 |
| hyrcanus | i don't use ancient. causes too many problems for me compiling newer things | 15:55 |
| hyrcanus | well i do have some ancient boxes, for things that need ancient | 15:56 |
| Klinon | if I install ASCII, run dist-upgrade, change the sources to Beowulf and run dist-upgrade again, it's as if I installed Beowulf to begin with, right? | 18:24 |
| Tenkawa | Klinon: to go from ascii to beowulf there's a specific set of things to read | 18:32 |
| Tenkawa | https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation/dev1fanboy/en/upgrade-to-beowulf.html | 18:32 |
| Klinon | thanks, now I can have xfce \o/ | 18:46 |
| hyrcanus | xfce gave me horrible xorg problems combined with firefox-esr - since 4.14 | 18:52 |
| hyrcanus | on my arm boxen | 18:52 |
| hyrcanus | don't know if that's fixed in the beowulf packages now | 18:53 |
| Klinon | great... | 18:55 |
| hyrcanus | what hardware Klinon ? | 18:56 |
| Klinon | still RPi 3B+ | 18:56 |
| hyrcanus | oh i still have one of those. i defintely had to keep opengl mode off in the boot.txt | 18:56 |
| hyrcanus | couldn't get stable system with it on | 18:57 |
| hyrcanus | quite useful little board for lots of things though, just not opengl, and not webbrowser | 18:57 |
| hyrcanus | for that we have mostly-working opengl + gl-es on amlogic now (khadas vim3 pro and odroid n2+) | 18:58 |
| hyrcanus | hooray to the panfrost developers | 18:58 |
| hyrcanus | serious big hooray and thanks to those people | 18:58 |
| c0rnelius | steev: he recently added a 5.15 branch, so you can see all his commit on top -> https://github.com/tobetter/linux/tree/odroid-5.15.y | 19:14 |
| c0rnelius | I actually created a patch set out of it already, but removed all the arm related jumk as I don't own those boards. Just kept the arm64 stuff. | 19:15 |
