hooby3d Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 I am running the desktop Ubuntu Xenial legacy image from https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-plus/. My goal is to setup the system for gaming, so I am looking to get the accelerated GPU performance. A couple questions: 1. Does this image run with an accelerated driver enabled by default? When loading applications that use GL, I see a log about not being able to load the mali driver. 2. If not, where can I get the driver and how can it be enabled? I know that distributions like RetrOrangePi include this by default, but I want to understand what they are loading so I can setup the system on my own. Thank you!
Igor Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Yes it must be present unless ... check this. RetrOrangePi is Armbian + a bunch of stuff.
hooby3d Posted February 19, 2017 Author Posted February 19, 2017 Oh, just my luck - the build is from 2/2/17. Is there a new image available for the Orange Pi Plus? I just downloaded again, and the file has the same MD5 hash.
Igor Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Yes, all images were rebuilt (5.2.) since they were built without video acceleration libraries. By mistake / with wrong parameter.
hooby3d Posted March 3, 2017 Author Posted March 3, 2017 Do I need to download a whole new image or can I update my existing installation? BTW, the legacy desktop images for Orange Pi PC and Orange Pi Plus still both have a 2/2/2017 build date, even though the file dates are 2/5.
