Odroid - U3 - packages required

[hreikin]

can anybody provide a list of packages required for me to be able to install lxde/slim on my odroid u3 ?

i have been fumbling around for a while now (weeks) trying to get to a desktop with the mali r4p0 driver installed and working and the only solution i have found is to build/install at the very least mesa-noegl from this repo :

https://github.com/hreikin/odroid-arch-packages

which is just a cleaner version of grippeds original repo with the PKGBUILDS updated (as best as i can) and maybe the xorg-server-dsd package as well (not too sure if it matters) all the rest are basically the same as the PKGBUILDS for packages available in repos so no point building/installing those

the odroid-libgl-mali folder/package is just a copy of the PKGBUILD from a pull request from the archlinuxarm github repo about the package odroid-libgl which tries to fix the mesa conflict it has, i havent had time to check if this works with mesa-noegl and if xbmc will run

the next problem i run into when i do manage to get a desktop is that when i compile xbmc and go to run it, it wont start and errors out like so :

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'libGl error: MESA-LOADER: malformed or no PCI ID
libGl error: dlopen /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/exynos_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/exynos_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
libGl error: unable to load driver: exynos_dri.so
libGl error: driver pointer missing
libGl error: failed to load driver: exynos
direct rendering: yes')

which i dont really understand, what i would like is a desktop with xbmc installed and runnable that isnt ubuntu/debian

any help would be greatly appreciated

xf86-video-armsoc-odroid odroid-libgl xorg lxde
should work just fine..
What kind of xorg.conf you are using too?

I'm in the same situation. I try to use LXDE/x11 on my odroid-u3 and would love to get some package recommendations.

How can I use the packages from https://github.com/hreikin/odroid-arch-packages ?

@hreikin: What packages do you use now?

I actual have installed xf86-video-armsoc-odroid xorg lxde.

When I try to install odroid-libgl from standard repo I get
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[root@alarm ~]# pacman -S odroid-libgl
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: odroid-libgl and gpu-viv-bin-mx6q-x11 are in conflict (mesa-libgl). Remove gpu-viv-bin-mx6q-x11? [y/N]
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: cairo: requires libgl
:: xorg-server: requires libgl
')

Where to get a dependency fixed package? What pull request do you mean?

if you use the PKGBUILD in the folder "odroid-libgl-mali" from the github repo you linked you should be able to build odroid-liblg-mali and get to a desktop with the "makepkg -s" command

check the README at the github repo it gives 2 different methods on how to install the packages and which ones you need

THE XORG-RELATED PKGBUILDS NEED THE PKGVER/PKGREL/MD5SUMS UPDATING TO MATCH THE UPDATED OFFICIAL PACKAGES TO AVOID CONFLICTS AS I HAVENT GOT ROUND TO IT YET - I WILL BE UPDATING GITHUB/MY REPO PACKAGES+IMAGE/AUR WITHIN THE WEEK - IF YOU CANT YOU COULD TRY INSTALLING THEM AND HOLDING THEM FROM UPGRADE IN PACMAN TO TRY AVOID CONFLICTS WITH NEWER VERSIONS IN OFFICIAL REPO ?

here is a thread from Odroid Forums with a premade image i made for the U3 - ARCH/LXDE/XBMC/MALI - XBMC isnt perfect, but the image is available to download here MY REPO PACKAGES/IMAGE courtesy of mdrjr at ODROID

i hope that helps a bit

I'll try your image, thanks a lot.

I only need X11, so xbmc does not matter to me. I'll give feedback
