Problems with drivers on HP

[Argo Navis]

Hey guys,
I have this new laptop, a HP 15, and Porteus is booting, but a bunch of peripherics is not taken in charge.

• I have the alert message saying "Your system is currently running without video hardware acceleration.

• Wifi is not working.

• Trackpad is not working.

Here are print out of debug commands:

Thanks for you help with this!

Hi Argo Navis

I had similar problems. Tried Porteux v0.1 and they all went away.

Vic

[Argo Navis]

@Vic : thanks for the tip! I tried the latest version, v1.5-cinnamon-5.6.8-stable-x86_64.iso, and it's snappy!! It works great on my LG Gram laptop with no additionnal modules for the drivers (wifi was not working originally), but unfortunately, I have the same problems on my HP15 as with Porteus5.01: no trackpad and no wifi. Is there a reason why you recommend Porteux v0.1 instead of v1.5?

[Vic]

Hey Argo Navis

Welp, I am basically lazy. I tried v0.1 and then I customized it. Time consuming. To really test a new version I do not use my settings because they sometimes do not work right.

With every iteration something changes and sometimes things stop working. I have tried all the versions and I still like the first one the best.

You should try all the versions to see if one solves your problem.

Have fun,

Vic

[beny]

h,i try the porteux v-1.5 but the current version and if you have enough space download the firmware package the whole package, if the notebook is too new better to use the current version not the slackware 15,

[Argo Navis]

Total newb here, sorry to ask a question that may be painfully obvious, but by "download the firmware package", what do you mean exactly? I'm on the GitHub page right now, I see "nividia", "multilib", "devel", etc. I'm not sure what is the firmware package you are referring to

[beny]

hi, porteus do not host the kernel firmware package but if you try to use the slackware current version: you have to use the script txz2xzm to make a porteux package
https://slackware.nl/slakfinder/index.p ... e=#results
you have the driver that allow you to use hardware but also the firmware you need for the hardware,if you install inxi it make a good report of your notebook hardware.

[Argo Navis]

Here is what I tried:

• I tried various cheatcodes like psmouse.proto=imps, i8042.nomux=1 or i8042.reset -> didn't work

• I installed inxi -> It does not find the trackpad or the wifi card :

  	Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:88e3]

• I loaded the "kernel-firmware-20240816_5649ca7-noarch-1.xzm" in /modules/ -> didn't change anything

At this point, I'm not sure what to try next. As far as I understand, by using the firmware module, if there was a driver for the trackpad and the wifi card, it would be loaded, right? So does that mean Slackware does not support my laptop?

[beny]

hi, you have this:Combo Realtek Wi-Fi 6 (2x2) e Bluetooth® 5.3 so if you have the bluetooth down the wifi is locked i think,the inxi show that you have the bluetooth blocked try rfkill on terminal to see if you have a key to unlock it,after this you have to start the rc.bluetooth script located on /etc/rc.d/ and also the rc.networkmanager script ttry thin in manual way to check if the network device work,well i don't use cinamon but the daemon script are the same:
sudo /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth start
sudo /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager start

[Argo Navis]

I run rfkill and i get this:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# rfkill list
0: hci0: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no

There does not seem to be anything blocking bluetooth.
Also, i got from a Windows session that my wifi card is RTL8852BE. A quick googling let me understand that this particular wifi card is often a problem.
I tried this:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# lsmod | grep rtl
btrtl                  24576  1 btusb
bluetooth             679936  5 btrtl,btintel,btbcm,btusb

I'm getting kind of lost here, but does this mean that there is some drivers in the kernel that handle the bluetooth, but none for the wifi?
I'm trying to find a driver for rtl8852be but I don't know where or what to look for exactly...

[beny]

sorry also in the last kernel version do not have this wifi driver but if you want i have read this:

git clone https://github.com/HRex39/rtl8852be.git -b dev
cd rtl8852be
make -j8
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8852be

[Argo Navis]

I'm trying to follow the instructions, when I get to 'make -j8', I get this:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~/rtl8852be# make -j8
#rm -f .symvers.8852be
make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/6.6.20-porteus/build M=/root/rtl8852be  modules
make[1]: *** /lib/modules/6.6.20-porteus/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: *** [Makefile:637: modules] Error 2

I have 05-devel.xzm installed, I can't why 'make' does not work.

[beny]

hi you have to have also the crippled-source-kernel of this version the build is against the kernel source,and control the /lib/modules if you have the build link broken remake it

[donald]

Further down on the github page it says:

For kernel > 6.0.0, You should view https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89

...and on that page:
This repository includes drivers for the following cards:
Realtek 8851BE, 8852AE, 8852BE, 8852CE, and 8922AE.

If all else fails,try that one.
