dCore & ubuntu behaves different

[Jason W]

Ok.  Please give the output of the following commands, so I can see what packages are installed on each system.

On Ubuntu hd install -

apt list --installed

On dCore -

cat /tmp/.debinstalled

Actually, my old Intel video card does apparently have acceleration.  Installed mesa-utils and below is the output:

Code: [Select]

jason@box:~$ sce-load mesa-utils
* Using nice level 19.
* Integrity and md5sum check mesa-utils.
* Mount /tmp/tcloop/mesa-utils/.
* Update system:
  mesa-utils
* Loaded mesa-utils.sce.

And glxgears lists about a 60 frames per second rate.

Hi
I see that

Code: [Select]

/lib/modules/4.8.17-tinycore/kernel.tclocal/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau
is missing

[Jason W]

Hi.  Based on your last posts, I also figured that was the difference.  I am compiling a nouveau.ko module now and will upload today for testing.   

[jls]

Thank you very much Jason

[Jason W]

I have uploaded nouveau-modules-4.8.17-tinycore to the prebuilt repo.  I can modprobe the nouveau module after install, but cannot test it so please sce-import and test. 

[jls]

Hi
tested and the pc freezes during boot after all extensions are loaded, when the screen changes resolution.
Maybe nouveau is not stable yet at least with his kernel

[Jason W]

I remember a while back that there was a reason we didn't include the nouveau module, can't remember exactly what it was.  But since you have seen what you are describing and I don't have nvidia hardware to test a build with, I just will remove the nouveau module package. 

[curaga]

It was the instability, yes.

[Jason W]

Curaga - I now ran across a forum thread where this issue was discussed, and you explained it.  I should have known.  Perhaps Debian/Ubuntu have the resources to make a certain version of the nouveau module work with their kernel version.
