17:53 bkeys> Does anyone here please know of a guide to get a hardware accelerated setup on the cubox with linux?
18:01 bkeys> Someone pls have pity on me
18:15 Ke> which cubox?
18:16 bkeys> It's the better one of the imx6 based ones
18:16 bkeys> I think the i4x4
18:16 bkeys> It has 4 gigs of RAM
18:20 bkeys> Ke: Yep it's the CuBox-i 4×4
18:21 Ke> in case noone helps you, you can disable glamoregl like this https://users.aalto.fi/~jkarlson/files/00-noglamoregl.conf
18:22 bkeys> What distro are you running on your cubox?
18:22 Ke> I don't have one
18:22 bkeys> I see, I'd like to have hardware acceleration on this thing
18:22 bkeys> I got Fedora (my preferred distro) working on it, but I get this error
18:22 Ke> I hear there are even moderately reasonable open source drivers for it
18:23 bkeys> https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/vrGu2k3ZKz~98zDEWG-6hw
18:23 bkeys> [ 1331.148] (EE) AIGLX error: imx-drm does not export required DRI extension
18:23 bkeys> [ 1331.148] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
18:23 bkeys> That is the only error in those logs
18:23 bkeys> Which I don't know why falling back to CPU rendering would cause X to not start
18:23 bkeys> But it also loads the GPU driver just fine
18:24 Ke> [ 1331.941] (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.
18:24 bkeys> Yeah I have no clue
18:24 Ke> sounds more like you are not running any session with Xorg so it sees there is nothing to do
18:24 bkeys> I only have basic X11 and openbox installed
18:25 bkeys> I see
18:25 Ke> which happens to some people
18:25 bkeys> Let me try to install a display manager and start it up with systemd
18:25 Ke> how are you starting X
18:25 bkeys> startx
18:25 Ke> yes display managers are easier nowadays
18:25 bkeys> I was trying to get openbox going before doing anything else
18:26 Ke> I believe you might needs xinitrc or xsession to do that
18:45 bkeys> You would think that is a dependency, but I'm installing SDDM and seeing if I can start it with systemd
18:55 bkeys> It hangs at starting up sddm like it always does
18:56 bkeys> systemctl status sddm shows no issues
18:56 bkeys 18:56 * bkeys sighs
18:58 bkeys> Hmm, new error though
18:59 bkeys> https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/xVK7Rp~1QfEoZ1kiFHZOYw
18:59 bkeys> Something about present flip failed
19:16 bkeys> I'm gonna try to install xfce4 and see if it works
