[tecfan69]

Thank you sevo1984,

will try that later on. because i compiled this kernel on my arm device i didn't know how to look at for the error (source, mkbootimg or even compiler). by now i added asix support and is doing fine.

Problem with installing Mesa drivers

Hi,

I followed Hizzle's guide, I managed install mali400_2.1-13_armhf.deb package, but I stuck on next step, which is installing Mesa drivers. I have MK808B, and I was using 3.0.36+ kernel recommended in a guide.

During the install I get this error:

WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
libgbm1 libxcb-xfixes0 libegl1-mesa libopenvg1-mesa libegl1-mesa-drivers

Any ideas what it could be caused by?

@ Wolf
Had same problem with Radxa;
"
It could be useful for others (that's strange i'm the only that faced this issue!):
since Ubuntu raring has reached EOL and packages removed, i tried to find packages on other sites. I found that when a release is at EOL packages are moved in old-releases.ubuntu.com!So, it's enough you edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file, cancel the previous line and insert the following new lines:
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring main universe restricted multiverse
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring main universe restricted multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring-security main universe restricted multiverse
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring-security main universe restricted multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring-updates main universe restricted multiverse
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring-updates main universe restricted multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
then save, close and in terminal sudo apt-get update.
The concept is valid for each release passed in EOL. it's enough to substitute the name of release /etc/apt/sources.list file (in our case it is raring) "

This got me up and running.

Mine don't work ;(
If yours yes, have you do something more that was explained in the guide?

[lrp1985]

I'm pretty dumb

I was confused and now, I'm answering myself openArena is not working because it uses OPENGL, and Mali400 only support OPENGL ES Regarding Wifi I didn't try to get it working, but I suppose that it's necessary cross compile the wifi module with the kernel sources.

[pulso]

compiling ...

i will try this.

http://hwswbits.blogspot.com.es/2013/03/compiling-picuntu-kernel-ubuntu-linux.html

we have kernel, modules + firmware then ...

only to copy under linux with the correct permissions and run a comand??

Someone see something better to do? i'm not developper...

edit:

wifi don't work...
