Help on deuvan derivate exelinux on old compaq evo N1005v

T-rex · 2019-04-19 13:28:05

Hi everybody!
I' m very happy to announce the install of a deuvan derivative on my old laptop, but I have some problems with opengl and soundcard.
for example after installing mesa package and launcing glxgears I obtain segmentation fault...
Is it possible to find some informations from the configuration of an old kubuntu 8.04 in other partition? It works fine ma there are no package online more and no security upgrades so I can't use it
Thank you very much
best regards

What is your graphics hardware?

Exe GNU/Linux doesn't include any non-free firmware but AMD, NVIDIA and recent Intel graphics cards require that to work properly.

And did you verify the md5sums after downloading the image?

You can check for a bad USB stick by copying the image back to a file:

# cp /dev/sdX check.img ; sync

And then compare the checksums again.

According to specs the GPU in your laptop is ATI Mobility U1. It's ATI IGP 320M aka R100. You can try "radeon" driver but i am not sure it will work, however your GPU may be supported: https://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/

On segfault:

try

glxinfo | grep direct

You also have to check kernel modules.

Hi, thanks for all!!

this is the output :

glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes
    GL_ARB_direct_state_access, GL_ARB_draw_buffers,
    GL_ARB_draw_indirect, GL_ARB_draw_instanced, GL_ARB_enhanced_layouts,
    GL_ARB_multi_draw_indirect, GL_ARB_occlusion_query2,

I think it'll be useful this..

what I have to do to load athlon driver?

thanks

I resolved soundcard problem, now audio works well.
It was a kmix graphical configuration problem.

other outputs:

:~$glxheads
glxheads: exercise multiple GLX connections (any key = exit)
Usage:
  glxheads xdisplayname ...
Example:
  glxheads :0 mars:0 venus:1
Name: :0
  Display:     0xf96e18
  Window:      0x3800002
  Context:     0xf98810
  GL_VERSION:  3.0 Mesa 13.0.6
  GL_VENDOR:   VMware, Inc.
  GL_RENDERER: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.9, 128 bits)
Segmentation fault

:~$glxgears
Segmentation fault

problems with other graphical programs:

:~$ xaos
Illegal instruction

Have you installed the non-free firmware required by the AMD graphics card?

You can use gbd to investigate the segfault (if the firmware is already installed or doesn't fix them), I think Devuan has debug repositories containing packages compiled with the debug flags enabled.

So the renderer working on your laptop now is software renderer. Do you have /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?

T-rex · 2019-04-28 08:15:28

Do you have /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?

xorg.conf is empty

Now I'm tryiing to find the firmware i need ... is correct?

Tank you for all!

1. Try to install firmware

apt-get install firmware-amd-graphics

Then reboot system just in case. If hardware acceleration does not work follow the next step.

2. Try to create the following file:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Radeon"
    Driver "radeon"
EndSection

3. If direct rendering via hardware is still not enabled see Xorg.0.log file (you can copy contents to pastebin and give a link)

Hi!
Yesterday I worked over the problem, but before to give you a summary of my attempts ,I have a little question:
what is the difference between writing in

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

and

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf

???
I used the first option and now I ll' try to change to see if there are some improvements...
Summary of yesterday:

In the morning i tried to follow that howtos :

https://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo

and

https://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary

but I didn't solve it, I probably had something wrong ...

in the afternoon I was at a meeting of my nearest LUG and they try to help me.

They find an error like this,

radeon_cp: Failed to load firmware "radeon/R100_cp.bin

a guy find that there is a bug over R100 and kernel but now I dont find the webpage.
I dont' exacty understand but there was a problem with the loading of the firmware by the kernel(it tries to load something before the mounting of filesystem) ,so they move it into initramfs and it works, badly and slowly...probably due to my morning mistakes and the meetein time that was ending...

Now I'm trying to repeat the procedure correctly and to clean up any wrong configuration files

thank you so much for your help!

T-rex · 2019-04-29 07:19:41

my first step today...

# apt-get install firmware-amd-graphics
Reading package lists... Done

The kernel runs through a list of firmware until it finds one it can load for the device so check the full dmesg(1) output to see if any firmware is actually loaded:

# dmesg | grep firmware

T-rex · 2019-04-30 17:28:38

Have you installed

apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree

a reboot and try again a

dmesg | grep firmware

omnio · 2019-07-12 15:14:17

problems with other graphical programs:
:~$ xaos
Illegal instruction

This happens often when the program was compiled with SSE/SSE2 flags but the CPU running (or trying to run) the program doesn't have those flags (often with GTK3 or QT apps). You can check your CPU for SSE/SSE2 flags:

grep flags /proc/cpuinfo
