1 év 6 hónap óta
Voyager Live is an Xubuntu-based distribution and live DVD showcasing the Xfce desktop environment. Its features include the Avant Window Navigator or AWN (a dock-like navigation bar), Conky (a program which displays useful information on the desktop), and over 300 photographs and animations that can be used as desktop backgrounds. The project also develops several other editions of Voyager Live - a "GE" edition with GNOME Shell, a "GS" variant for Gamers, and a separately-maintained flavour based on Debian's "stable" branch.

[$] The end of tasklets

1 év 6 hónap óta
A common problem in kernel development is controlling when a specific task should be done. Kernel code often executes in contexts where some actions (sleeping, for example, or calling into filesystems) are not possible. Other actions, while possible, may prevent the kernel from taking care of a more important task in a timely manner. The kernel community has developed a number of deferred-execution mechanisms designed to ensure that every task is handled at the right time. One of those mechanisms, tasklets, has been eyed for removal for years; that removal might just happen in the near future.

Dave Airlie (blogspot): anv: vulkan av1 decode status

1 év 6 hónap óta

 Vulkan Video AV1 decode has been released, and I had some partly working support on Intel ANV driver previously, but I let it lapse.

The branch is currently [1]. It builds, but is totally untested, I'll get some time next week to plug in my DG2 and see if I can persuade it to decode some frames.

Update: the current branch decodes one frame properly, reference frames need more work unfortunately.
