Updated and Optimized Ubuntu Free Graphics Drivers

[oibaf]

I have enabled all other architectures in the PPA, so armhf, ppc64el and s390x are also available on top of already available amd64, arm64 and i386.
Available on Ubuntu >= 20.04/focal.

Bionic packages will be removed soon from the PPA.

rewind thanks for the update.

trying to manually install them turns out that there are some focal and some from the repo:

anyone else affected or is it just my installation?

Edit:
strange, got itself fixed with the next stuff that became available in the repo...

As promised, Ubuntu 18.04/bionic is no longer updated. Make sure to upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04/focal or later to get newer PPA updates!

[oibaf]

Hi, I pushed backported (from groovy) libreoffice 7.0.1 in focal, hope it may be useful.

Hi.

I have somehow troubles with my RX5500.
I'm using drivers from oibaf.
Following problems i'm getting:

• Somehow whole PC freezes.
  It is not accessible via ssh.
• X.org freezes without possibility to restart server/lightdm session.

Sometimes I'm able to reproduce it when I (de)attach laptop to same monitor where i have Primary output.

Under windows(dualboot) it works

My specs are:
OS: Ubuntu Mate 20.04 with latest updates.
Graphics: Sapphire Radeon RX5500 8GB.
CPU: R7 1700
RAM: 64GB

What logs would you like to get for debugging?

What's the use case for armhf anyway?

Not sure about specifically oibaf ppa, but personally I rebuild newer Mesa releases in my ppa to deliver lima bugfixes to NanoPi-M1 boards (H3-based) which we use as thin clients. Maybe blackshard would like to quickly test lima bugfixes (or maybe vc4?) without waiting for next release.

[oibaf]

Adding a new arch requires rebuild of all binary packages for all Ubuntu versions, otherwise packages depending on them will fail to build. As I already archived most old packages it would need a bit of work manually reuploading the dependencies.

Maybe I could consider doing it after dropping bionic support, which has some more depending library needing to be rebuilt.

What's the use case for armhf anyway?

[blackshard]

I asked some time ago about armhf, but probably the post has been thrown into oblivion... anyway, any chances for having the ppa for armhf architecture too?
