Hello, what's the bottleneck currently? My previous smartphone - 1/8gb MT6737M Mali-T720MP2 - has 4gb left and runs everything perfectly smooth despite worse specs than the Pi. It can hold 2-5 apps in RAM on average, can play a lot of games at 60fps without any stutter. I can imagine VC4 driver is o...
YouTube windowed 1080p playback is moderately slower, it used to drop 25-30% frames but without video stuttering or antyhing like that.
Now it hangs every few seconds and after few minutes pops up high temperature indicator.
That's on a pi3b.
Is there an ETA for stable release? Will we be able to run aarch64 instructions with 32 bit userland? (e.g. to learn armv8 without much hassle) I can see there is no toolchain in repository, but would 64bit assembly work with say this 3rd party toolchain https://github.com/abhiTronix/raspberry-pi-cr...
I've got android sdk using apt, thanks Debian! Now how do I get ndk? I think Debian 10 will have it, but I'd rather not wait for years. Compiling from source isn't an option (IMO) as it would take probably as long as next Debian release, if successful. I know I "should" use Android Studio on desktop...
Who cares if it appears for under a second?
What I mean is that my problem was NOT related to my psu, as changing raspbian with arch made wifi work flawlessly. Under Raspbian I had this problem from the beginning. For over 2 years now.
Running Arch Linux ARM aarch64 on this pi3b with same 'psu' and stuff has no problems with wifi. There is undervolt icon when running wifi-menu program but that is all. I bet most people have undervolt icon at boot as well as I have. Also, I run it with official 4.14 kernel just built for aarch64, n...
Could we, please, get updated open graphics driver? Compiling it myself on the pi would take ages and had to be done repeatedly.
Rpi update or repository is the way
It is awesome! I am running Diablo II but some performance optimisation would be great, it runs very well, but not perfect. Is this the problem with CPU or GPU? I have Pi 3B, is 3B+ doing a better job? Concerning GPU, I can think of running mesa, x, and probably kernel with newer work from Eric Anho...
Got the cause and the fix! The problem was there was xserver-xorg-video-fbturbo installed, now I have only fbdev and it is all perfect. Troubleshooted with xorg logs. I have seen at least one ~10 page thread (with swear words and some RPF staff in their spare time) about this problem, but nobody got...
Due to Raspberry Pi's peculiarity, default linux DPMS doesn't turn the screen off after idle time, it only fills it with a dark color. That is solved when using the unfinished OpenGL driver. But that isn't the only way! Minimal C code #include <X11/extensions/scrnsaver.h> #include <stdio.h> int main...
Latest (beta) release was in 2016, that's why I have said it seemed dead, and also, more importantly, you might have misunderstood so I'll repeat myself, the qpdfview program doesn't look like the one found in Raspbian, I guess the Foundation modified the source code but didn't submit the changes up...
Switched to archlinuxarm aarch64 to be surprised that qpdfview looks different there. https://launchpad.net/qpdfview seems dead, but it'd be nice to have those Raspbian changes upstream.
Provide compiled binary or don't bother at all. Bonus points for getting it into the Raspbian repository. It's not like this build is using some arcane optimisations that run only on your own Pi, if there were any. BTW has any programmer even tried to publish his software to the official repo or is ...
Are there any plans to switch over to WebKit Pure Embedded (WPE) from WebKitGTK+? I haven't tried it yet, as there seem only to be sd card images' blueprints specifically for it, but Kweb seems like a good fit for it (along with suckless surf) as it bases around the pi and runs on raspbian. If you h...
I'm not interested in trying out compiz, but even if it worked, 99% things don't. How much fps do you get in glxgears? can you use retropie? can you launch neverball, gamemaker games etc.? I'm aware what VC4 can and cannot do as it worked great in Jessie, but in Stretch it doesn't work for me. I thi...
~ glxgears -info GL_RENDERER = Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.9, 128 bits) 25 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4.985 FPS It doesn't matter which driver do I use for glxgears to be slow like this. After some time it gets to 24fps and takes ~80% cpu (in the default, very small-sized window, for maximised 192...

What about ff nightly? I've found https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ubuntu/ppa and added its key, then updated. No errors and apt lists this source during update but when I try to install any package from there it is not found. Would love to try firefox 57 with servo as using fire...
Why do we have both the GCC 4.9 and the GCC 6?
Correct me if I'm wrong but the older one seems as if it was the default.
Which one should I rather choose when compiling things myself?
