Volumio X86/ Debian Buster debugging party (BETA)

gkkpch · February 14, 2020, 8:27pm

Please note: this topic has been closed and will be superseeded by the official Volumio3 X86 Beta testing support thread

Hi all,

we are happy to announce the BETA test phase for a new Volumio X86 OS version.
This one is based on Debian Buster and is long due because of hardware support reasons.
Of course, we have the issue that Debian jessie is going EOL soon, but this affects all of our supported boards.
(don’t worry, work has started on arm boards as well and is progressing nicely).

The main reason for this X86 version is lacking hardware and firmware support, due to the old kernel and firmware used with Debian jessie.
This causes more and more newer hardware configurations to fail with Volumio.
With the beta versions, we use kernel 5.4.y, which has LTS (Long Term Support).
Currently we’re at 5.4.18 and use the latest firmware packages from kernel.org with it.
(Edit: Reverted to 4.19.y, see below).
Volumio for X86 beta has been tested on a number of boards already, feedback has been encouraging and allows us to start public beta testing.

In this OP we will keep a list of beta versions, fixes and known problems.
We will also moderate this thread actively and refer issues to the help section when they do not appear to be X86 kernel, X86 firmware or Debian Buster related.

What do we ask from you in return?
Please feel free to test this version, it is nearly complete, including myVolumio.
In case you find issues, we would like you to give us at least the output of the following (if possible):

inxi -vFzxxx
aplay -l
aplay -L

And also tell us which version you used.
This should give us an idea which hardware and audio configuration we are dealing with.
Please paste between code display tags for better readability (don’t just copy/paste)

DISCLAIMER
The images may work in a Virtual Machine.
Though we welcome reports of working installations with additions/ modifications, VMs are not supported and issues only handled on a best effort basis.

========================================================================

Development / Kernel header files
For those who need the kernel header files, these are available at http://github.com/volumio/x86-kernel-headers.
Note: we do not keep other versions than the ones found in the repo!

Known issues

Configurations with Intel GMA 3150 graphics will not show the UI, not sure yet whether this can be fixed.
Kiosk GUI can hang when clicking through the Audio Playzones, an external browser still works, under investigation. Error does not occur when using an external browser.
[unsupported] Laptop HUAWEI matebook D with ATI VEGA, no GUI. Missing gpu driver with kernel 4.19.y
Lattepanda 2: GUI not shown, wifi not working, more info requested
black screen with Odroid H2, more info requested (WIP)
no upnp support yet (WIP)
cd service not working yet (WIP)
a lot of debug messages at boot, but this is intended for the time being

2020-12-11, version 2.857
http://updates.volumio.org/x86/volumiobuster/2.857/volumiobuster-2.857-2020-12-11-x86.img.zip

No OS beta updates!
This will be the last x86 32bit beta version we will produce.
As 32bit x86 machines are slowly beginning to disappear, the decision has been taken to focus on a 64bit version for buster and later (bullseye).

Changelog

Note the boot issue (see OP) on some Atom platforms. We are working hard to get this resolved. A new image will be published when this has been fixed.

balbuze · February 17, 2020, 6:49am

Hi!
It seems it can’t boot once converted in virtual box image. Use to work with standard version.

direwolff · February 17, 2020, 8:30pm

I’ll be testing this as a VM in an Unraid OS host. GT 710 HDMI output. Looking forward to success!

balbuze · February 18, 2020, 6:01pm

can’t boot on AMD Ryzen laptop.
Weird, there is only 2 partitions volumio_data and volumioimg

gkkpch · February 18, 2020, 6:43pm

the boot partition is GPT, this means ubuntu or debian won’t mount it automatically.
do sudo fdisk -l
and you’ll see that the boot partition is there.

@balbuze, how did you convert the .img file for VM?
Btw. we did locate a boot issue and fixed, a new beta (0.002) will be generated and published.
Perhaps this solves your problem as well.

@direwolff, the header files will be on our update server, I’ll mention the location here when 0.002 has been announcesd.

Gé

balbuze · February 18, 2020, 7:27pm

ok I see the partition with sudo fdisk -l
to convert img to vdi (virualbox image), I use

vboxmanage convertfromraw -format VDI volumiobuster-0.001-2020-02-14-x86.img volumiobuster.vdi
or

vboxmanage convertdd volumiobuster-0.001-2020-02-14-x86.img volumiobuster.vdi

with the same result

Let’s skip VMs (and QEMUs) for now, all details come from the host machine layer which adds too much complexity at this stage.
Please concentrate testing on real hardware first, we’ll tackle VMs later.

WeDloMiS · February 19, 2020, 5:47pm

On a NUC (NUCCPYH), no boot.

On first boot, the installation seems ok.

Screenshot :

but after this process , the system don’t boot.

He freezes after “[OK] Started Flush Journal Persistent Storage”.

Just for information, the last version of volumio worked fine without specific configuration. Only the Wifi need a custom configuration. This problem exists on debian (jessie and stretch). I didn’t test on a buster.

WeDloMiS · February 19, 2020, 6:04pm

In the last screenshots, I have 2 disks. A SSD (my actuel volumio system) and a USB key with the volumio on buster. sda = SSD et sdb = USB key.

I tested without SSD, only with the USB key. The USB key becomes “sda disk”.

I have also a boot problem with a freeze after “Reached target Paths .”

This problem is located in roughly the same place. After “Reached target local encrypted volumes”.

gkkpch · February 19, 2020, 6:12pm

ok, this and your last post confirm exactly what we saw from the Atom platform, we have boot regressions on kernel 5.4 with specific devices.
There is a fixed version, which reverts to 4.19.104 for the time being, I will publish this in an hour or so

WeDloMiS · February 19, 2020, 6:27pm

Ok !! I test this new version when you publish

gkkpch · February 19, 2020, 6:34pm

new version out, see OP.
Note: New UI is now the default feature.
You can change it to Classic (Enable Experimental User Interface=Off ) in menu “Appearance” if you wish

Perfect !! The system boots without problem. The wifi works OOB.

Tomorrow I see to configure the outputs. For the moment, I have only “analog ou” and “hdmi” in the choice but with the optical output of the NUC I must add custom configuration. With the last version, a custom configuration was also necessary.

WeDloMiS: you mentioned “a custom configuration” was necessary. this appears to be missing from this version, my bad.
Please post a aplay -l for your configuration.
And/or, if you still have it, a copy of the relevant line in the “/volumio/app/plugin/audio_interface/alsa-controller/cards.json” file.

I have my last configuration but on the SSD unmouted. I must only add the digital interface if my memorie is good

Now to activate the SPDIF on this card.

In the first time, many change with alsamixer. The SPDIF is by default on “MUTE”.

To activate this output on the system, “alsamixer”, F6 to select the audio card (HDA Intel PCH), use “M” to mute the “S/PDIF” and “S/PDIF Default PC” output and again “M” to unmute the “S/PDIF 16”. The “S/PDIF 16” output is the interesting output.

Then a little change add the SPDIF output for the HDA Intel PCH.

{"name": "HDA Intel PCH", "multidevice": true, "devices":[{"number":0, "prettyname": "Analog Out", "defaultmixer": ""},{"number":1, "prettyname": "SPDIF", "defaultmixer": ""},{"number":3, "prettyname": "HDMI", "defaultmixer": ""}]},

Reboot and in volumio select in the settings the “SPDIF” output.

Another thing, I don’t know if it was as it in the last version but for a usb key in exfat partition, the mount is not automatic.

root@volumio:/mnt# mount /dev/sdb1 USB
FUSE exfat 1.3.0

Maybe works with ext4 partition.

Just for information, I use only a NAS with volumio.
