Installation in Commodore C64X extreme no sound, no wifi

munecito · Post by **munecito** » Mon Jan 06, 2025 10:56 pm

As per the title.

I don't have wifi or sound.

I tried updating the kernel once using my mobile for USB tethering but it did not go well. Broke the system and I could only use terminal.

There were some Lightdm and orther services that would not start.

Here are the specs of the system as Commodore Os sees it:

Doing an update through the top menu / update Commodore Os breaks the installation terribly. It makes all jump and shake, never seem anything like that.

Updating the kernel also breaks it, in a similar fashion to what some other posters describe.

The good news is that as Leo Nigro had suggested in the past, running it as a VM from within Linux Mint works very nicely.

I do hope next version works with the hardware as one of my intentions with the C64 is to show my niece how to work and install, bare metal vs VM.

By the way. Does anyone know how to set up the VM for persistency?

Obviously something has gone awry with the new kernel that breaks the operating system entirely.
Linux is so fickle sometimes it can get quite infuriating. It's all a crap-shoot.
The ability to update the kernel was added in the hope of improving compatibility with newer hardware.
However, in actuality, updating the kernel should really be a last resort move to resolve compatibility issues.
Back in Commodore OS 1.0, updating the kernel helped us resolve graphics issues when Intel moved to Sandybridge which is why it remained integrated in COS2. I could be wrong, but I don't think kernel upgrading is provided so easily as part of the regular update procedure for other Linux distros.
Unfortunately, kernel upgrading was recently thwarted by the Debian team, who decided that they would only back-port functionality to the older Debian release which Commodore OS 2 is based on, but not hardware compatibility.
That's their prerogative, but it lands COS2 in quandary.

I'm going to put a big warning on Commodore OS 3 when you attempt to update the kernel, that it could result in system instability or even render the OS non functional.
But unfortunately that doesn't fix your current hardware issues with COS2.
That you don't have wifi and sound really sucks.
If it was an option, I don't know if care was taken to ensure the wifi module is Linux compatible.
It is my hope that at least some of these issues will be resolved in Commodore OS 3.0 which is coming soonish.
I know the work in progress of COS3 is running great on hardware like the N100 that COS2 can't so it gives me hope.

To anyone who actually bought both a C64x + hardware combination through MyRetroComputer and are having COS2 compatibility issues, and who would be up for it, I would be happy to provide you with a personal link to download a wip "early" beta install of COS3.
Not everything I want is in there yet, but most of the look and feel is the same. Just a few gripes and annoyances to resolve.
I won't be doing an update though, and you would need, if you want to have the latest COS, to download the final.
So if you're interested, just DM me and include a picture of the label on the bottom of the C64x to verify you own one, and I'll try to get that happening ASAP.
Do not post that image online though.....there may be benefits that might come down the line I might provide to hardware purchasers.
