GroovyArcade live-CD 2022 (collaborative effort)
Substring:
So, 2019.11 is released, catch it here. The changelog on this release page is now automatically built using the git commits that happened since the previous release. Most notable changes are groovymame 0.215 and attract mode 2.6.0.
The "no menu in LXDE" should be fixed, though I haven't had time to test it in the release. The cause has been identified : building the ISO changes many files' owner to root, including those that should belong to the arcade user. issing a sudo chown -R arcade:arcade /home/arcade fixes the problem.
--- Quote from: Doozer on November 06, 2019, 06:13:27 am ---It might be necessary to have a staging version which would have under development features. Personally, I do not own enough different configurations to confirm good working conditions in relation to non ATI hardware. Even for the ATI portion I am mostly using the 5000 generation chipset. I am also looking forward to getting in touch with the AMDGPU to see if newer generation can bring some good setup (i.e. Ryzen)

Technically speaking, with how I've setup the CI on my fork, it's pretty easy to have a new Arch repo where we can (manually) build the kernel and make it available easily. Just need to add a new repo to the pacman.conf which must be before the testing and stable repos to avoid conflicts on packages. My linux-15kHz package is just the arch PKGBUILD version which is patched with sed (in case a .patch file would not work) and a .patch file for some more static parts of the PKGBUILD. This way it's pretty robust to upstream minor changes (like linux version bump). The only thing is that this kernel must be manually triggered in the CI (as of now, this can be changed). I can give you rights to full around with this. Only downside as of today : if the CI triggers the build on my PC (which is not always on), you're a lucky guy. If not, it will be built on a atom Z8350, so expect 10h of build (can't even use ccache because of some damn timestamps in headers)

where should I put video=DVI-I:e? I didn't understand, sorry.

I'm very sorry I should have explained it before ! All apologies :notworthy:
So, this is the file from the DVD which you can't edit, but the one once installed on a hard drive is a lot shorter. Here it is, in my case, installed in virtual box with LCD screen setting :
--- Code: ---default arch
timeout 0
prompt 0
#UI vesamenu.c32
menu title Groovy Arcade Linux
menu background GA.png
label arch
menu label GroovyArcade
linux ../vmlinuz-linux-15khz
append root=/dev/disk/by-label/GA rw quiet splash rd.udev.log-priority=3
initrd ../initramfs-linux-15khz.img
--- End code ---
The interesting line here is append root=/dev/disk/by-label/GA rw quiet splash rd.udev.log-priority=3. This line lists the kernel boot parameters. The file on your hard drive should already be configured the way you wish. If you want to enable edid, the best is to :
* replace video=DVI-I-1:640x480ec with video=DVI-I-1:e
* append to the same line drm.edid_firmware=edid/arcade_15.bin
First, you should make a backup copy, in case : sudo cp /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg.ok. You can restore your backup with sudo cp /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg.ok /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg. If EDID doesn't work, you'll get a black screen, but you can still use SSH (use putty in windows) to connect to it and solve problems.
In case, I'm on keilmillerjr's discord.

sorry for the delay but I have very little time for the tests, however I can confirm that attract is out of sync, I tried to adjust the monitor but without result. The PC is not online and I have no way to access it otherwise, any advice? Obviously my other installation on another hdd is working and attract is at 640x480
