amarsh04 | recovered from the eudev glitch; nearly bought a new video card as I thought it had failed | 01:01 |
agris | How do I remove the proprietary GPU firmware from my raspberry pi and disable the GPU? | 03:38 |
agris | I figure this will increase stability, decrease heat, and decrease power consumption | 03:38 |
agris | also how do i get the vcgencmd command? | 03:38 |
agris | I also want to disable all the wifi and bluetooth radios | 03:40 |
tuxd3v | agris, what is your raspberry pi version? | 04:00 |
tuxd3v | I don't really know if its possible to disable completly the graphics card | 04:01 |
DonkeyHotei | iirc the gpu is needed to boot the device | 04:01 |
tuxd3v | at least I believe 16MB is needed for it.. | 04:01 |
tuxd3v | the minimum.. | 04:01 |
tuxd3v | but you can use another bootloader with another drivers, to boot some, at least til rpi3 | 04:02 |
tuxd3v | using kernel=bootloader_image | 04:02 |
tuxd3v | in anyway, this is loaded by the graphics card, at least til rpi2 | 04:02 |
tuxd3v | included | 04:02 |
tuxd3v | I also have the desire of a free, no obscure blobs in raspberrypi because it makes much more sense.. | 04:03 |
DonkeyHotei | pick other hardware, then | 04:04 |
tuxd3v | til rpi3, you can use tyhe kernel directive to load another bootloader, and control, after the boot process.. | 04:04 |
tuxd3v | in rpi4, its not yet possible to compile mainline kernels for it, at least that I know off.. | 04:05 |
tuxd3v | in rpi4, bootcode.bin( raspberrypi own bootloader ), in in a flash, not in sdcard like before, so that at least we are obligued to run.. | 04:06 |
tuxd3v | In other words, rpi is not so open as a lot of people think it his.. | 04:06 |
tuxd3v | completly open, are for example the allwinner hardware, not all, but a great part of it, but at same time, is not so easy to get several functionalities | 04:09 |
tuxd3v | it takes time, | 04:09 |
tuxd3v | but since bootloader, kernels, drivers are part of a mainline effort to go opensource, | 04:10 |
tuxd3v | they also have their BSP kernels like raspberrypi have, but are not of so much interest for us.. | 04:11 |
tuxd3v | the same way that raspberrypi BSP ones are not so interesting as mainline kernels.. | 04:11 |
tuxd3v | agris, for rpi1, I have a image, using uboot as bootloader, and using mainline kernel: | 04:12 |
tuxd3v | https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=3183 | 04:12 |
tuxd3v | but its a armel version, | 04:13 |
tuxd3v | kernel and uboot armhf, userspace armel | 04:13 |
agris | tuxd3v, I have the raspberry pi 3b | 04:16 |
agris | DonkeyHotei, is it really? | 04:17 |
agris | because I don't need gpu or audio | 04:17 |
agris | just a the USB port and ethernet | 04:17 |
agris | that's all | 04:17 |
agris | I've underclocked the raspberry pi to 200Mhz | 04:17 |
agris | I thought there was a release or something out there from broadcom where they made it possible to boot the 3b using only free software, but without graphics | 04:18 |
agris | Really all I am using the pi for is running OpenRC-supervisory and NUT-Daemon | 04:18 |
agris | and a USB serial cable | 04:18 |
agris | ><tuxd3v> In other words, rpi is not so open as a lot of people think it his.. | 04:20 |
agris | Yes I know this. the raspberry pi foundation forum ops are very hostile and mean to people bypassing Broadcom's licensing DRM schemes for hardware accelerated decoding | 04:20 |
agris | It's fine if it's not possible | 04:23 |
agris | I can get another device at some time | 04:23 |
tuxd3v | agris, you can runa rpi3 with at least uboot | 05:40 |
tuxd3v | I don't know if it would be possible to have all drivers in rpi3, on mainline kernel, it could be | 05:41 |
tuxd3v | for rpi4, at least its still not possible at least that I know off.. | 05:42 |
tuxd3v | agris, you can use the devuan image for rpi3, and limit the amount of ram for the graphics: | 06:03 |

mike_y | Hello! I installed Devuan 64bit in order to install VirtualBox for Whonix but I can't find it | 06:42 |
tuxd3v | mike_y, hello, | 06:43 |
tuxd3v | what hapens when you type: | 06:43 |
tuxd3v | 'apt-cache search virtualbox' | 06:44 |
mike_y | Nothing returned, no error! | 06:45 |
mike_y | [Origin: Debian - ascii-backports - contrib] | 06:46 |
mike_y | I have ascii-backports main enabled but maybe not contrib? | 06:46 |
tuxd3v | enable main 'contrib', 'non-free' and if you want, also 'non-free' | 06:48 |
tuxd3v | apt-get update after | 06:48 |
tuxd3v | then search again, it should be there :) | 06:48 |
mike_y | Got VirtualBox, Now I noticed WhoNix has a KVM option for FOSS! Going with KVM, THX! | 07:15 |
tuxd3v | no problem you welcome :) | 07:18 |
mike_y | WhoNix works just find with KVM! | 10:48 |
mike_y | fine | 10:48 |
mike_y | Just had to comment out a small XML section on the sound card output codec, then follow the Whonix KVM guide as normal, Start Gateway VM and then start Workstation VM | 10:50 |
mike_y | Thanks again! | 10:51 |
mike_y | Hello Again! I can't seem to get my open source WiFi to work which I've been using with Debian for years. /lib/firmware/htc_9271.fw Penguin Wireless N USB Adapter for GNU / Linux (TPE-N150USB) | 21:33 |
mike_y | I've tried Debian 7,8,9,10 https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/penguin-wireless-n-usb-adapter-gnu-linux-tpe-n150usb-debian-firmware-install | 21:35 |
