First, thanks everyone for the advice. Second, if the linux nerd poo poo comment rubbed anyone the wrong way, I apologize. I just meant it as in "I'm as stupid as a bag of grass clippings" and know I won't be able to do any serious clever poo poo to make this work. Klyith's suggestion seems the most straightforward, so I'll give that a shot.

Fell down a hole Saturday(?) night trying to compile out of date drivers for a usb wifi stick and debugging gcc error messages, finally decided to order USB wired Ethernet thing for $10, 27,000 5 star reviews, Ubuntu fired right up

Installed xfce4, rebooted and it did an honest to god kernel panic, I don't think I've seen one of these since compiling gentoo Linux for i586 from scratch back in 2000

Hadlock posted:

It's this thing https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MYT481C with an AX88772A pretty much the gold standard

I rebooted and since then no issues, booted into xfce4 after about 3-5 minutes so not gonna worry about it

Xfce4 performance is in the 0.25fps range. Maybe worse. I'll have to do some more checking. Clockwork has a version of Raspbian that will play doom at > 5fps on a D1 so something is off still

Ran out of time to try more lighter weight wm. Can't figure out what DISPLAY needs to be for xwindow to boot

If your application can work with a read-only file system then that isn’t as big of a deal

Mantle posted:

How does Ubuntu promise all the applications in the distro are going to work? Are they really taking responsibility for compiling every application? Or does it cause a split where different applications are supported on different architectures?

I am running Ubuntu on my D1 (first gen allwinner RISC-V) powered mango pi. The problem with the D1 is that it has the most rudimentary 2D graphics subprocessor, or at least the graphics leave a lot to be desired. I forget the 2d graphics subprocessor tech they're using, but I think when I checked it dates back to the 1990s. That is not an exaggeration

These D1 chips are good for validating your code/toolchain compiles/runs RISC-V but there's no functional GPU in the D1

Haven't tried attaching to the RISC-V X server from my laptop yet though

Looking forward to the D2 or second gen chips though

I've been transcoding videos for the last week or so on the Raspberry Pi 4. All four cores are pegged at 100% and I'm even offloading h264 encoding onto the hardware.

The case it's in is a gigantic heat sink. Like, the case is 100% heat sink. No fan. It's stayed under 70 degrees the entire time: right now it's at 66. GeekPi aluminum case in case anybody's interested.

cruft posted:

Heh. 66C. The CPU starts to throttle itself when it hits 80, so there's a nice bit of thermal overhead here. I imagine I'd see a few more degrees in summer, but I still won't need a fan.

Here's what I've found:

• Alpine Linux using this guide
  
• Flatcar Container Linux using this guide (I failed to get it working)
  
• Fedora CoreOS (guide)
  
• Fedora Silverblue (homepage: this may have been obviated by Fedora CoreOS)
  
• OpenSUSE MicroOS (home)
  
• NixOS (home)
  
• GNU Guix (home: seems like a desktop distro)
  

I'd use Flatcar if I could--I like it a lot--but after a Saturday morning I wasn't able to get it to boot.

I've used Fedora CoreOS at work and freaking hated it: one of my co-workers calls it "Fecos" now to express disdain.

I have a high regard for Alpine: I actually based my own specialty embedded Linux distribution off of some concepts Alpine pioneered. This might be a good way for me to go.

MicroOS looks intriguing. CoreOS used to be The poo poo for container OS. Then Red Hat bought them and almost overnight it changed to some weird ostree bonkers thing that now needs rpm somehow, so a fork sprung up called Flatcar that was the original CoreOS. Then Microsoft bought Flatcar. So I guess MicroOS is openSUSE's offering of the same basic idea, so they can stay in the game. I'm not crazy about it using NetworkManager, and I'm not positive "we use btrfs snapshots a lot" is the read-only / I'm after, but I need to read more, because it also says it's not altered during runtime.

I've played with NixOS before. It feels a lot like a research OS, where they invented a bunch of stuff that didn't exist at the time, and now there are better alternatives. Having to learn the "nix" tool seems like maybe something I don't want to invest time in.

GNU Guix looks like a desktop distro.

You might give openwrt a spin if you're thinking of this route. I should have listed it as another read-only / distro.

I saw that and am so tempted… I drunkenly ordered a Zero W without any particular project in mind a couple weeks ago that finally arrived, and have spent the time trying to figure out what’s worth doing with the thing.

CIFS is not NFS

It can. I can even find the folder when in the GUI and file explorer. All my PCs see it and access it as well.

The command I used to mount

When I try and cd to the directory /mnt/share I get the below error

What do you get with your ls -l when you add a umask?

code:

sudo mount -t nfs4 -o proto=tcp,port=2049,umask=002 192.168.1.247:/volume1/'Share Videos' /mnt/share

If that’s no good, op, you need to change your nfs settings from this post

To squash all to root and try that out.

I did use my actual username and password

Do you have an explanation for what's gone wrong here? My mind is kind of blown that the cifs mount just didn't work.

cruft posted:

I've never heard of idmapd before. Does idmapd map usernames to UIDs so that pi4(uid 1001) files on the server are owned by pi4(uid 4993) on the client?

Back in my day we'd just sync the password files using NIS, which I guess is YP now.

OP had a problem with cifs and has been a sport playing along with the nfs troubleshooting because it was suggested that that would be useful. I don't understand how, but then there's a lot that goes over my head.
