Updated and Optimized Ubuntu Free Graphics Drivers

[Roza Edalb]

Hi everyone! Does anyone else have problems running wine after the newest updates to the ppa?

I started getting into this error text wineprob.txt whenever I ran wineboot or winecfg with no further output apart from the timeout message from wineboot until I killed the wineserver and after a couple of OS reinstalls, I discovered that the PPA was the problem by removing it and switching back to the default drivers. It worked and wine ran with no problems apart from the usual fixme texts.

Afterwards I renabled the ppa, downloaded the drivers and the same errors came back when I ran wine.

Wine was working perfectly under this ppa until just a couple of days ago until I found out the culprit.

Currently my OS is on the default drivers but is there a fix for this oibaf ? What could be the reason for this?
Thanks.

oibaf I see. Well if it's of any importance if you have the required libraries, wine 4.0 still works with your PPA and doesn't have the same error as 8.14.
Is this fixable? Should we wait for Mesa themselves to fix it first?
Thanks for the reply by the way.

Iorn10 oibaf Any progress ?

[Roza Edalb]

oibaf Is there anything I can do to help?

[Roza Edalb]

oibaf Looks like there's even further problems with the ppa...
I hope it gets fixed soon...
Also I hope I can help if it's required regarding the wine problem...

Yeah, for me the oibaf PPA started to work again on around the 17th September. Since then, everything is fine.

And by the way regarding the upgrade of LLVM please don't jump directly to version 17 (which was finally released some time ago). It looks that regarding Mesa and especially the OpenCL stuff LLVM 16 is more stable. LLVM 17 has at the moment (the last week in September) still some problems and the overall compatibility with clover has worsened while LLVM 16 is okay.

lorn10 that's great to hear, sorry for bothering you and oibaf back then perhaps I was a little too anxious, because there was no word back on how it was going to be fixed. I unfortunately can't test it I think, because I moved to Arch some time ago. I humbly apologize, I don't know if there is way to test the ppa on Arch though. Also I finally got DRI 3 support! Even though it's on Arch. Now I think the only issue is on how to fix the gallium driver error. Wish me luck!
Wishing you peace and happiness!

mesa is now built with llvm-16, but only on ubuntu 23.10/mantic.
No plan to use llvm-16 on previous ubuntu (and no need to ask ).
