What’s the status of the 4.12 kernel? I’m still anxious to get OpenGL support
It’d be great if the VIM got finally running on mainline so we wouldn’t have to play catch up anymore
I’m also a bit concerned with the immanent release of the VIM2. It seems like Khadas is struggling updating one product, let alone two! So will this be the end of support of the VIM?
Hi, Tommy21:
We will release DualOS based on current Ubuntu-Mate release and new Android Nougat ROM first, then we will focus on SD card installation for Ubuntu ROM.
I wanted to connect a network drive to the smb protocol. I installed cifs-utils. But no module to cifs.
root@khadas:~# apt-get install cifs-utils
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
cifs-utils is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
root@khadas:~# mount -a
mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system
mount error(19): No such device
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
I hope we won’t have to wait 4 months for the next Ubuntu update, i was hoping for Mali drivers in this image, unfortunately they still aren’t available.
I won’t ask how long we will have to wait for it, i just hope to receive it soon, but tbh i am a little sceptical about it.
I am not sure how ubuntu works but would “apt-get update && apt-get upgrade” not update your installation to latest update from ubuntu?
I never used ubuntu so i can’t confirm this. I know with ArchLinuxArm doing “pacman -Syu” will update your system to current state in repository.
Regarding Mali drivers, well this is question for Amlogic. They produce this GPU so they should provide mainline driver for it. There is effort to get this Mali in Mainline from Martin Blumenstingl and baylibre developers [0] and other around which I don’t know but do upstream, also check [1] what their main guy, Neil Armstrong has posted on this forum. Also check [2] what @Gouwa wrote here. Neil also asked hardkernel for cooperation [3] as they also don’t have mainline Mali support.
Khadas Support can request support from Amlogic. There was [4] “Voices from the open source communities will be passed to Amlogic” but I never seen public replay.
PS: This isn’t place for such discussion so @Gouwa should split this to new topic.
PPS: you bought developer board not finished product. So a bit work from everyone is neede.
But I hope myself soon to have GPU support and use Kodi (without Xorg) with GPU acceleration when playing movies etc.
