thinstation-ng : xorg7_nvidia install fails.

[trezel]

Hi,

image building fails when trying to integrate xorg7-nvidia package. Error was :
make: *** [Makefile:82: clean] Error 2
/ts/build/packages/xorg7_nvidia/build/install: line 107: prt-get: command not found

Sequel from former version, I think...

I tried replacing prt-get lines with dnf ones. It seems to work (build is not failing anymore) :

#prt-get remove mesa3d
#prt-get remove glu
#prt-get remove glew
#prt-get remove libglvnd
dnf  remove mesa3d
dnf remove glu
dnf remove glew
dnf remove libglvnd

#prt-get install mesa3d -uf
#prt-get install glu -uf
#prt-get install glew -uf
#prt-get install libglvnd -uf
dnf install mesa3d -y
dnf install glu -y
dnf install glew -y
dnf install libglvnd -y

But, after this operation, when I try a new build, I got error :

 Checking for required commands... which: no vncpasswd in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/ts/bin)
FAIL
Your Thinstation installation is broken; the following needed tools
are missing: vncpasswd
This build system requires them; aborting build
Are you inside the chroot environment?

dnf install vncpasswd in chroot fixes the issue, but I guess next build will produce the same issue (removing vncpasswd) ?

Sorry Don, for spamming the wiki this times ;-)

I tried to boot a (physical) machine with nvidiaGPU.... boot fails (no graphical launch/ kernel modules missing).
The packages installs, but doesn't seem to work :(

Yeah, I've not reworked that package yet. nouveau works pretty decent though.

Out of tree kernel modules is a whole other rabbit whole. It requires considerations for Secureboot. I would have to get a newer shim approved and signed by RH/MS, compile and sign the kernel, compile and sign grub, build and sign the modules and then distribute them. There wouldn't be any user self compile options for anything other than BIOS mode. Lots of work.
