Any issue with upgrading from V3.0 to V3.01 ?

My system is updating since more than 30 minutes now, and still gives like |  /  -  /  |  symbols ... ?!

It takes some time to do the update.
Especially if you have changed the cpu governor and frequency.

Hi guys , trying to choose a kernel for my system and AC has suggested one which I am currently running. I would like to know what the suffixes mean : nograph ,eup, rcu  etc.

Hi,

nograph: without graphic system support

 

the other acronyms are to remind me of the configurations.

Hi Antonello:

Just installed Embedded 3.02 on a new B550I board from Gigabyte. Board has a Realtek nic RTL8125

 

lspci | grep Ethernet
 - RTL8125

 

It is supposed to be included in 5.6.18 but this image comes with 5.6.17

 

Downloaded the driver from https://www.realtek.com/en/directly-download?downloadid=54c0e3e95c579555ee0cd61b8eaca701

 

but cannot find the /lib/modules build when trying to build of course

 

I tried modprobe r8169 but there is no eth0 or other ethernet device

 

I have tried not bothering you, actually I wanted to post the resolution as I know some others will come with new boards, new Ryzen gen etc. and thought on creating a detailed step by step like I did with the bridging

 

but I think the driver must be included or new kernel on the distribution ...

 

Let me know what you think ....

 

All the best

 

Luis

Hi,

 

are not present in the 5.9.x kernel either

if you have teamviewer or better anydesk on a networked pc, I can try to install the realtek ones for you

[antonellocaroli]

@luisma

 

try to see if this works for you

make some space in the boot

 

mount /boot

rm /boot/*CK*
rm -r /lib/modules/*CK*

 

delete all "ck" kernels

 

cd /tmp

wget https://github.com/antonellocaroli/kernel-test/releases/download/realtek-test/GP-x86-Kernel-5.6.17-realtek-RT.tar.xz

tar xvf GP-x86-Kernel-5.6.17-realtek-RT.tar.xz --xattrs --numeric-owner -C /

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

 

use selectkernel and select the kernel that brings back realtek

 

let me know...

Thank you, I will give it a try, I need to download the tar on a separate computer and mount the USB drive, will get back to you in a bit

It was all good until this line, selectkernel fails with Not key found

you have monitor?

 

if you have the monitor, log in and give the command

 

mount /boot

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

 

at reboot boot the kernel that contains realtek

Hi @antonellocaroli

Running hqplayerd with the default profile without trying anything but the default doesn't use all the cores but 2.

I read the profile info and selected profile 2 to allow hqplayer to use the cores in any way it wants but it uses only 1 core.

Going back to profile 5 only uses 2 cores

Standard only 2 cores

Any idea what profile could just not do any optimizations? as apparently profile 2 doesn't.. I enabled the governor to performance but same results

I do not recommend using profiles with Hqplayer or hqplayerd, better to use the expert menu if necessary.

Having said that, can you post me the systeminfo and htop screen?

Understood, I tried to never use profiles before, the only reason I selected these is because I thought the core distribution when running HQPe was a little off but it seems it is HQP the one using these cores like that.

 

Here is the system Info

 

Note the Max frequency is under the actual max frequency of the 5600X, maybe because it is AMD it is not properly detected.

 

Profile: Profile not Setting

RamSystem: Ramsystem not enabled

Free memory: 15617MB of total 16020MB

what is the goal, have the Pi4 Ethernet port in 100MB ?

What is it useful for? Better sounding performance ?

 

This is to secure listening on my Allo USBRidge SIG.
There is an ASIX chip used on USB3 adapters but the hub is a USB2 chip.
I prefer to block at 100mb rather than leave in "autonegociate"

For the moment my USBridge Sig has a problem> return to the dealer.
I took my Sparky USBridge which despite its ethernet 100 and its limited kernel works very well... thanks to GentooPlayer.
Networkaudiod updated to 4.11 and DSD 128 or 256 played without worry ! 👍

 

A question to Antonello :
Howto make a priority to IPV6 than IPV4 (like DietPi config)
And, howto make a IPV6 fix (not only IPV4) to link with HQP.
It works in dhcp but if I want to switch to fixed ?

if I am not mistaken, you have already asked me this question....
Just choose in hqplayer ipv6.....
and it will stay that way even when you restart....

[Zauurx]

YES, no configuration concerns. It works fine with the Allo USBridge Sig but I had to go back to the Sparky model.
And I regularly have disconnections. HQPlayer no longer sees the Allo .. everything works on the Sparky but I have to reboot and relaunch networkaudiod.
If I want to restart without reboot ..
impossible to kill.

That's why I tried in dhcp or ipfix .. but it still cuts.

Unfortunately I can't help you with that, it was a problem that there was and there is with the sparky.

 

if you don't have any problems with other systems, I suggest you use those.

I will make with it while waiting to get my Allo Sig 😉

Im having a problem.... i put my roon server (laptop) into a subnet, and I also put my remote control (iphone) into the same subnet.  I have connectivity and both can see each other and the internet.  But it seems that Roon library browsing is incredibly slow.  If i switch the roon server back into the default subnet, everything is fine again.

if i run a speed test on my iphone it shows me a good ping and download speed..

 

so theres something about roon\gp\subnet that is misbehaving...

Interesting, I'm not a network expert.

But how did you create the subnet?
Do you have two network cards?
Describe the configurations a bit in detail.

My network is:

Modem -> Router (downstairs) -> network lead to vigor 2920 switch (office).  Each port of this switch creates its own subnet.  Network lead out of the vigor port 2 to another switch, which is the subnet (2) and then the laptop connects via ethernet and the iphone connects via an ether net dongle to the switch which represents subnet 2.

i was able to make it work by using the Static IP configuration tool within the console, the version within the web component didnt work it seemed, but i had a very small phone and its hard for me to use properly.

Perhaps disabling the DHCP was the main change, as that is offered as part of the configuration Static IP.

I was able to check the roon server logs to see big wait times to retrieve certain network calls, but its working now anyway.

[Aberrant-Decoder]

i do have another problem, which is i use a USB pen stick to plug in my SD card with 400gb of music on it.  And the gp starts up and sees it, but sometimes (frequently), its like the usb device gets switched off.  As the pen stick has an LED and it switches off. and then roon cannot see the content, as its became unmounted.

only thing really different is that i've mounted it myself, exfat fuse.
