tobetter · Post by **tobetter** » Sun Aug 01, 2021 2:40 pm

20210801: Early access of Ubuntu 21.10 with Gnome 40 is ready.

We have yet another Ubuntu release 21.10 Impish Indiri, it can be installed through Netboot Installer on ODROID-N2/HC4. This release have a couple of month for its official release and its theme still statys at Ubuntu 21.04, but new UI with new Gnome 40 is fun.

Please refer to the link if you like to see the detail.

Thanks for your new experiences.

There is no alsa, no sound, I tried to reinstall odroid-alsa, it gives an error.

How did you start upgrading this?
The issue in the log is not about audio, but broken packages. Please do the commands to fix the issue first.

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

istanbulls · Post by **istanbulls** » Sun Aug 01, 2021 7:36 pm

I installed it via petitboot with netboot_default.
apt update and apt upgrade are useless, the system is already up to date.

Clean install, not upgrade.

istanbulls · Post by **istanbulls** » Sun Aug 01, 2021 8:08 pm

Ok now I found an update and updated it. (apt update & apt upgrade)

But still no sound.

odroid-alsa is already installed, you can try sudo apt install --reinstall odroid-alsa or sudo dpkg-reconfigure odroid-alsa
What do you have Sound section in Settings?

I am using gnome desktop.

After recent updates in 21.04 (gnome-desktop) it hangs a lot. I can't control the mouse.
There is a sound problem as well. No stuttering when sound is active, it works fine. I have done many reboots, on these attempts the sound is active once, on other reboots there is no sound and the device is unusable. I couldn't even open an internet browser, and when I manage to open a browser, I can't type anything, it gets stuck all the time. (this is for 21.04)
In 21.10, the sound is not active, but there is no stuttering, the system works fluently. but no voice.
both 21.10 and 21.04 versions have sound problems.

Something is missing or wrong.

edit:
It could be pulseaudio that is causing the hang.

There is no pulseaudio in 21.10 gnome-desktop, which I installed with netboot installer, but it works fluently. (no sound)

On 21.04 gnome-desktop, which I use daily, pulseaudio works, but it's too busy for the system. Mouse cursor gets stuck when pulseaudio busy the system. (no sound)

Just installed Impish Kubuntu Desktop via petitiboot menu. Fabulous install! TY tobetter.
I'd like to have mesa-21.3.0-git to make it perfect. Uses 21.2 currently.

My petitboot version is older. I was researching how to update petitboot, but don't see 20210724 version on the odroid wiki. It looks like I need to flash it once I've got the file.

I didn't see the image on linux factory either. I'm not sure how to proceed. Thanks!

Try running pb-update command of the Pettitboot after select Exit to shell menu.

Thank you for the quick response! Will do. I was just about to update my source list and run apt update / dist-upgrade... I'm trying to learn fast! lol..

hilton8r · Post by **hilton8r** » Tue Aug 03, 2021 9:16 am

pb-update did the trick. I had tried pb_update previously. So close! I noticed that the version is now 20201222, so it probably still won't have 21.10. I'll know shortly after I back up this emmc card. Thanks again...

hilton8r · Post by **hilton8r** » Tue Aug 03, 2021 9:21 am

Ok. I just booted up, and 21.10 is there for dev.20201222 version. This should keep me busy for awhile...

hilton8r · Post by **hilton8r** » Tue Aug 03, 2021 10:41 am

Well, this sucks...

I got ubuntu mate desktop installed, and booted. All of the text is the same color as the background for every menu option or pop up. No clue how to navigate to change that. Same for the terminal window. At least in terminal, I can highlight over what I've typed to see what I typed. I'll have to see if I can get shelled in and find a way to change settings that way. I think I'm done for the day though...

Post by **odroid** » Tue Aug 03, 2021 11:40 am

As far as I heard, the Mate desktop still has a lot of issues with Wayland backend as well as xwaland.
You probably needed to choose x11 mode instead of wayland.

sgear · Post by **sgear** » Sat Aug 07, 2021 10:24 pm

I seemed to have issues with both of the x11 desktops I tested. I tried Mate and gnome in x11 and both had issues with the text color as well as the cursor blinking and stuttering.

On the wayland side I tested gnome and sway and both were buttery smooth for the most part.

I'm definitely not partial to mate. I'm totally cool with gnome desktop as long as I can get our touchscreen drivers and wifi dongle working. Unfortunately, I didn't see any wifi dongles with an antenna. I will purchase something that works out of the box and test in our enclosure if I can't get the edup EP-AC1607 working. We have purchased so many of them, hopefully we can keep using them. We were very lucky to figure out how to get them working on 14.04 and 18.04 images. Any other recommendations though? I saw 5A or 5B in one of the threads.

I didn't have any luck with wayland / mate. I will definitely look at x11 mode, but hopefully after I can see if wayland can significantly improve the performance issues with our latest application.

Thank you for the feedback. I have a black screen with blinking cursor. I can restart gdm to get past it for now. I plan to build the image from scratch after I've worked out some of the road blocks on my end. I should have been rebooting the image in between steps, so I had a better idea of what might have caused it...

Do you have worse performance with Wayland?
Can you check the benchmark with glmark2-es2-wayland?

I was up pretty late installing 21.10 mate, 21.04 mate, and 21.04 prebuilt server image and installing mate. I couldn't navigate any of the menus etc... but I did get chromium installed and running on the prebuilt server image. I enabled the 3 raster/render settings in chrome://flags, but chromium failed once I added the /etc/chromium/default entries. So I don't know if that should work in the same manners as it did for gnome desktop. I didn't try glmark2-es2-wayland, but I doubt it would have worked at that point. But I did notice that 500 fish was averaging just over 30 frames per second with just the chrome://flags set. I went to bed at that point, and went back to my 21.04 gnome image in the morning. But I did save the emmc card so I could come back to it later to see what it does when I can configure screen rotation for comparison.

I wonder why you are trying Ubuntu Mate since I've read you are good to use Gnome Desktop. And I don't think you will get any benefit to install multiple different OS images, since all they are based on the same kernel and same Mesa library version.

Booted and worked pretty good. Do you guys know if I can get DRM content to work within this build? Any browser would do.

DRM content is impossible to decode without Google's Widevine blob. This, however, is available only on x86-64 and 32-bit ARM. It's closed source so no ports will be available, unless Google overlords decide otherwise.
So your options are either 32-bit OS (I don't think @tobetter has it on a roadmap), or ditch Netflix for good and download torrents instead.

chewitt · Post by **chewitt** » Sat Aug 14, 2021 9:56 am

It's fairly simple to use 64-bit kernel and 32-bit userspace; both LibreELEC/CoreELEC do this explicitly to maintain compat with the 32-bit-only widevine libs used with Kodi inputstream add-ons. It's quite common with Android ROMs too.

I also ran across the problem with cpufrequtils shown above on Ubuntu 20.04 today; the reason for this is that the current odroid-base package places library.sh in /usr/share/odroid-base/ while the current cpufrequtils package—or rather, the script /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils therein—expects this script to be located in /usr/lib/odroid-base/.

m_ueberall · Post by **m_ueberall** » Wed Aug 25, 2021 1:09 pm

Yes, because unfortunately, the cpufrequtils packages have recently only been updated for Ubuntu Hirsute and Ubuntu Impish (that's why I included the output of apt policy above which shows that I have installed the current available package versions for Ubuntu Focal at the time of writing):

So what is the recommendation? To upgrade from 21.4 or do a new install?

Anyone successfully performed an upgrade?

I upgraded from 21.04, it works fine.
some gnome-extensions didn't work in 21.10, it worked in 21.04. so I upgraded 21.04 to 21.10 now everything works perfectly.

Great. I might give it few more weeks. As I am using MATE desktop I will let MATE catchup with any patches fixes that might be needed.

Well, this sucks...

I got ubuntu mate desktop installed, and booted. All of the text is the same color as the background for every menu option or pop up. No clue how to navigate to change that. Same for the terminal window. At least in terminal, I can highlight over what I've typed to see what I typed. I'll have to see if I can get shelled in and find a way to change settings that way. I think I'm done for the day though...

On the MATE community forum other people are having issues upgrading to 21.10

https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/after-u ... king/24689

One suggestion is to use gdm3 instead of lightdm.

Or not to use greeter at all. It's stunning how many problems they cause, and do we really need GUI for entering bloody passwords?

Yeah thats what even i was expecting but its not.

Anyways i wanted to try with different OS whether UAS reset issue is resolved in any of it seems none for now.

Is this update avail. to C4 ?

I tried do-release-upgrade but it prompts me :
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.

So I tried sudo apt upgrade , but it ends with errors :

The packages are all compatible for C4, I think you have check why Operation not permitted happens. Do you see any errors at the partitions?

hanguofu · Post by **hanguofu** » Sat Dec 18, 2021 7:43 am

My bad. It is possible that the culprit is the boot partition is formatted to vfat ( fat32 ) . I will further look into it . Happy Weekend ~~~

Unfortunately, NO. It's because the OS system using Netboot Installer is intended to install multiple Linux kernel versions which is more generic way in Linux system and managing the multiple LInux kernel version is feasible using a.k.a softlink that's not supported by vfat. Disadvantage without vfat is, I think, that you cannot change a file with Windows machine.

You too have happy weekend.

I've submitted panfrost bug directly to mesa but seems no one is interested in fixing it as it needs some kind of proprietary software to fix the panfrost driver ( https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/5605 ).

Qt applications (and perhaps any other application that scales textures by "extending" vertex coordinates) have issue with resizing images/textures.

Do you have any idea how can I encourage someone to fix that?

chewitt · Post by **chewitt** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 3:03 pm

@tolszak: My suggestion is to drop into the #panfrost IRC channel on OFTC and chat to the maintainers there. Hint: refer to it as an issue with Mali-G52; its not an N2 specific issue and those folks think about chips not boards. Ask them what extra debug/traces you can provide (and how to get them, if you're not sure). They are generally a friendly and helpful bunch.

That's what I tried to do. Unfortunately it seems like fixing it require some kind of proprietary and expensive mali tracer to know what mali does and what panfrost should do. Noone want's to look at that. I was wondering if hardkernel has some kind of relation to mesa community or perhaps has this software and can check so I can share the details with mesa community.

New kernel package linux-image-5.16.0-odroid-arm64 is uploaded. I've done minimal testing and basically it works ok, however the default kernel version for Ubuntu 21.10 is 5.14 and will be switched to new one when major issue is not discovered.

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
sudo apt install linux-image-5.16.0-odroid-arm64

Also, new Mesa/Panfrost package has been uploaded. I think this would be the last update for Ubuntu 21.10 while Mesa have tons of updates, since it requires other dependent packages to be upgraded with the version which will delivered for Ubuntu 22.04.
