Proper Way to Upgrade Mesa?mesa
- Login o registrati per inviare commenti
Trisquel includes mesa version 8.0.4. However, I notice there is a mesa-xxx-xxx-quantal version at 9.0.3. I would like to install the newer mesa version, but I am not sure of the proper way to do it, as in, are there other packages I would need to upgrade at the same time?
Ubuntu documentations suggest doing it like this:
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-belenos xserver-xorg-lts-quantal libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-quantal

I did this myself and it works. But I'm not sure if this method doesn't make a dependency mess.
That gives me the following errors, to which I didn't give much time to interpret (so, I don't know what to suggest; perhaps a proper 'trisquel-lts-belenos' package depending on everything, so the stack enablement would run smoothly... but I don't know what will be that promised "point releases", perhaps they'll make it properly and we shouldn't be doing this :D ):

You should do the exact command I wrote. I usually use aptitude
too, but for this I used apt-get
. It resolved the dependencies on its own.
Here is again what I did:
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-belenos xserver-xorg-lts-quantal libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-quantal
To revert the changes I did:
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx trisquel xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-input-all sudo aptitude purge libdrm-nouveau2 libllvm3.1 libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0 libxatracker1-lts-quantal libxrandr-ltsq2 linux-generic-lts-belenos linux-headers-3.5.0-25 linux-headers-3.5.0-25-generic linux-headers-generic-lts-belenos linux-image-3.5.0-25-generic linux-image-generic-lts-belenos x11-xserver-utils-lts-quantal xfonts-base
Tried on my own as well, alternative Mesa & Xorg stack booted okay with provided 3.5 kernel or Jason's current 3.9.2 if you want. The problem was elsewhere, first I thought it made use of LLVM-pipe CPU rendering back-end or so, but then I realized that incorrect resolution [only up to 1280x1024 (5:4)] appeared there in options because of VESA driver used as opposed to Radeon KMS-one.
Still I am aware of the mess with tainted firmware in case of any decent AMD/ATi chip.. RS880's onboard HD4250 in this specific HW build.
Just did rollback any changes with ease.
This reminds me... didn't Mr. Rodríguez say Trisquel 6.0 would be updated with the iterative point releases - i.e. there would be a Trisquel 6.0.x - I know Ubuntu 12.04 already has a couple of point releases with an updated kernel and mesa.

The only reason I ask is because mp4s look more like slide shows than video clips on the netbook. Strangely enough, they play perfectly on the desktop. The desktop runs nouveau and the netbook runs intel. So I think the mesa version (any mesa pre-9.0 I think) is at the bottom of it.
It's a shame too, because even though Trisquel's KDE is also a bit old, it works perfectly on the netbook. On the desktop, Trisquel's KDE loads faster than either Parabola or Gentoo compiled to the processor. And there are no bugs in Trisquel's KDE that I have found. However, I've GOT to be able to play mp4s.
I have the impression video decoding is not made by the video-board, but by the processor... Does your netbook have a CPU powerful enough to decode your videos? Does lower-resolution MP4s play better in it than the ones you are trying to play?
