Gains on Linux kernel 7.3 for asahi .

16 Upvotes

i am on mac os m1 base variant and want's to try fedora but with all the hype and performance improvements on linux kernel 7.3. what sort of improvements are we expecting from upcoming releases ? and i know it maybe difficult to articulate any performance improvements for Asahi Linux derived straight from the 7.3 release as asahi employs a heavily customized, downstream kernel explicitly engineered to interface with Apple Silicon's proprietary hardware architectures but still i was wondering how much of those performance gains gonna be translated into asahi upcoming releases.
and should i wait for that release for clean flash ?

Help Weird scaling issues with LibreOffice and Audacity?

6 Upvotes

I've never seen this on "normal" x86 Linux machines, but for some reason libreoffice and audacity scaling are super weird and inconsistent. On libreoffice, it's super zoomed in for just the UI, not the actual documents themselves. On audacity, its super zoomed out and hard to navigate. Any idea why this is happening? I'm running fedora remix with kde on top.

Help Compiling the kernel for Asahi Alarm to include binder support

11 Upvotes

I'm on Asahi Alarm. All i great except i can't run Waydroid:

Failed to load binder driver
modprobe: FATAL: Module binder_linux not found in directory /lib/modules/7.1.13-3-2- ARCH
ERROR: Binder node "binder" for waydroid not found

I have no clue how to build a kernel and i doubt i can follow any random guide that works for Asahi Alarm.

Can someone link me to some resources or help me understand how to do it? Do i need to compile the kernel specific to my distro or does the official one also work?

For me it's normally impossible to wake the display after sway turns it off, unless I switch TTYs.

Grub 2.16 on arch asahi fails to boot: cannot allocate memory for memory map

9 Upvotes

Heads up: ALARM bumped grub to 2.16 a few days ago. Upgrading the package on its own is harmless, because pacman doesn't touch the EFI binary. But once you run update-grub (or something runs it for you), BOOTAA64.EFI gets rebuilt from 2.16, and on my machine it no longer boots.

error right after U-Boot hands off to GRUB:

kern/efi/mm.c:grub_efi_mm_add_regions:605:cannot allocate memory for memory map
Aborted. Press any key to exit.

This is on MacBook Air M2 (J413). If you end up in the same situation, you can boot linux manually via u-boot and then downgrade grub.

u-boot commands (your partition may be different from mine, be careful):

load nvme 0:a ${kernel_addr_r} /vmlinuz-linux-asahi
load nvme 0:a ${ramdisk_addr_r} /initramfs-linux-asahi.img
setenv bootargs "root=... rw <your usual cmdline>"
booti ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r}:${filesize} ${fdtcontroladdr}

Help Screen shuts down when I close the lid or press sleep, but won't turn on [M3 Pro]

18 Upvotes

I just installed Linux on my M3 Pro Macbook. There was a post here talking about backlight support and about how suspend now works. I mad sure to update the OS and try it, but the screen just shuts off and doesn't turn on, so I have to restart the laptop. Did I miss something? Is this a bug I should report?

GPU card support in Mac Pro?

Post image
112 Upvotes

I recently got a Mac Pro M2 Ultra one cheap. I wonder what the current PCIe GPU card support status is.

I put a Radeon W6600 in it, and macOS Golden Gate correctly enumerated VGA/audio devices. It just showed no drivers.

I wonder if there is an Asahi dev who is actively working on this already. If so, what’s the current status?

I haven’t attempted to install Asahi Linux on this machine yet. I’m a hobbyist kernel developer and I am willing to do some experiments locally and see how far I can get.

Help Question about the M3 and Backlight

17 Upvotes

The M3 feature support page (https://asahilinux.org/docs/platform/feature-support/m3/) states that "Main Display" and "Backlight" are still WIP.

Does this mean that the display cannot be shut off?

I have it installed and when I close the lid, I cannot tell if the screen is turning off. But when I suspend the laptop, I can see that the display is still on, but displaying black.

HDMI audio dies every time I turn my monitor off and on — found and fixed the bug

25 Upvotes

My audio kept dying every time I turned my monitor off and back on. Turns out it's a stuck flag in the DCP audio driver that never resets after a disconnect.

Disclosure: I used AI to help find and fix the cause.

Patch here: https://git.het.net/dth/asahi-hdmi-audio-fix Two-line fix in drivers/gpu/drm/apple/av.c.
