Image 202303

Hello all,

just installed the above. I can confirm that the nand/mtd partitions are now at sensible sizes.

root@starfive:~# cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00040000 00001000 “spl”
mtd1: 00300000 00001000 “uboot”
mtd2: 00100000 00001000 “data”

How do I get rid of this dreadful pink hue that is on the desktop.

I have just installed xfce, which seems to work. I do not like gnome.

Regards

Aubrey

I do not like gnome either. For the pink layer, i guess there is one script in /opt just execute it and reboot.

Thanks for the hint. I have just turned the machine off.
I will have a look in the morning.
Hellish hue. Some people do not need drugs, they are there already.

Accoding to release note, this image seems a preview for wayland support. That’s why it uses gnome, since gnome has better support for wayland.

I can confirm that /opt/disable_monitor_color.sh does NOT WORK for me.
I still have this hellish pink hue/overlay despite having run the script and restarted/shutdown.
I am using the same monitor (an old Benq 2K) that I have used with this board before.

Ideas?

Aubrey

PS I am running XFCE and x11.
PPS This is the script in action -

root@starfive:~# /opt/disable_monitor_color.sh
++ colormgr get-devices
++ sed -n ‘/Device ID:/{s/.:\s//p;q}’

  • device_id=‘xrandr-BenQ GW2760H-7CD00746SL0’
  • echo xrandr-BenQ GW2760H-7CD00746SL0
    xrandr-BenQ GW2760H-7CD00746SL0
  • colormgr device-set-enabled ‘xrandr-BenQ GW2760H-7CD00746SL0’ False
  • echo xrandr-BenQ GW2760H-7CD00746SL0
    xrandr-BenQ GW2760H-7CD00746SL0

please run the /opt/disable_monitor_color.sh and restart
Sometimes it takes a few more iterations

Have done so several times. No change. Still the same nightmare.

@Stromkiller Start from a clean image, run the script before installing anything else.

Another two hours work…

please try this:
Enable/disable color device in UI:
Settings → Color → Enable/Disable → reboot

Too late. Already reimaged.

@LivingLinux - works. What a pain in the arse this is.

Qualification.
Running the /opt/disable… script functions for the “user” user running on gnome on x11.
As soon as I switch to root, I have the pink nightmare and slow desktop again, despite running the abovementioned script several times.
About four hours ago, I had the same experience on XFCE, so I wonder what visionfive are trying to achieve here?
I use root exclusively, if I shoot myself in the foot, that is my fault.

What exactly do you mean by “switch to root” $ sudo /bin/bash" or $ su - ? Or something else ?

15

I should have been more specific, mea culpa.
Login as root was what I should have said.

No tips/tricks advice or ideas here?

PS xorg.log here. Might be of interest to hexdump0815. AIGLX has a problem.
I have altered nothing in xorg. Running the 202303 image.
