  • Nouveau User-Space Lands Support For Using New Kernel Interfaces

    Following the latest Mesa and libdrm patches last week for allowing the Nouveau Gallium3D code to take advantage of the Nouveau DRM kernel driver's new interfaces, that work has now landed.

    With Linux 4.3 was the big restructuring to the Nouveau DRM driver. The massive changes were to improve the driver's design, reduce memory usage, provide for faster GPU VM, and allow for future improvements.

  • Mir 0.18 Release Brings Prep Work For Vulkan, Libinput By Default

    Mir 0.18 brings prep work for Vulkan, latency improvements for nested servers, hardware-accelerated multimedia decode optimizations, the start of plugin renderer support, Xmir graphics corruption fixes, using libinput by default for input handling, and many bug fixes.

  • More Intel Kabylake Enablement Coming To Linux 4.5

    The final feature pull request has been sent in of the Intel DRM graphics driver for targeting the Linux 4.5 kernel.

    Intel's Open-Source Technology Center team has already sent in multiple i915 DRM updates for Linux 4.5 while Daniel Vetter, Intel's DRM maintainer, sent in the final pull request this morning for getting the code aligned into DRM-Next.

  • NVIDIA Open-Source Christmas Present: Some Documentation

    It seems a few days ago NVIDIA quietly released some documentation to help open-source driver developers working on Nouveau.

    Last week was this GitHub pull request from a NVIDIA developer for providing documentation on Maxwell's texture header format and additions to the existing Fermi/Kepler/older documentation.

  • An Ubuntu Kernel To Play With The New AMDGPU + Radeon 4.5 Features

    If you are anxious to help test out the new changes of the Radeon and AMDGPU kernel drivers that will be added to Linux 4.5, I've spun up a kernel for Ubuntu x86_64 systems to try out this experimental code.

    Last night I spun an Ubuntu x86_64 kernel build against Alex Deucher's drm-next-4.5 branch, which includes the Radeon and AMDGPU driver changes for DRM-Next to then go mainline during the Linux 4.5 merge window.

  • How To Use AMDGPU PowerPlay On The Linux 4.5 Kernel

    While Linux 4.5 brings support for PowerPlay in the AMDGPU DRM driver to allow the modern discrete Radeon graphics cards to run much faster thanks to re-clocking, this major feature isn't being enabled by default for Linux 4.5.

  • AMDGPU/Radeon For Linux 4.5 Drops UMS Support, Brings Optimizations

    Just minutes after writing about how AMDGPU PowerPlay support made it into AMD's drm-next-4.5 branch, that Git branch is now called for pulling into DRM-Next. Besides the PowerPlay support for the latest Radeon GPUs, there are also a number of other changes.

  • AMDGPU PowerPlay Code Gets Readied For Linux 4.5
  • PowerVR SDK 4.0 Released, Preps Developers For Vulkan

    Prominent to PowerVR Graphics SDK 4.0 is a new framework for helping developers move from OpenGL ES to Vulkan. Vulkan isn't being released until sometime in 2016 but with being a Khronos member, Imagination has been heavily involved and investing in Khronos with their SDK along with their various seminars about Vulkan.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech

The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. Read more

  • How to install go1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04 – NextGenTips

    In this tutorial, we are going to explore how to install go on Ubuntu 22.04 Golang is an open-source programming language that is easy to learn and use. It is built-in concurrency and has a robust standard library. It is reliable, builds fast, and efficient software that scales fast. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel-type systems enable flexible and modular program constructions. Go compiles quickly to machine code and has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. In this guide, we are going to learn how to install golang 1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04. Go 1.19beta1 is not yet released. There is so much work in progress with all the documentation.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
