Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - MATE Desktop - Mali and vdpau drivers
Hello, this is the first image I've made (and also the first thread in this forum, hello all!)
so please don't expect the best performance and keep in mind it may have some bugs After some time using it, I think it's stable enough for everyday use. I'm open to suggestions and advice on how to improve it
Because I wanted to try latest Ubuntu version on my Orange Pi and there wasn't any 16.04 distro here, I tried to modify the Loboris image build script to be able to create an Ubuntu xenial (16.04) image... And it worked! Here are the changes I made:
In
create_image file:
trusty|utopic|precise|vivid|wily*) --> trusty|utopic|precise|vivid|wily|xenial*)
In
install_mate_desktop file:
if [ ! "${_REL}"=jessie" ] && [ ! "${_REL}"=vivid" ] && [ ! "${_REL}"=wily" ]; then --> if [ ! "${_REL}"=jessie" ] && [ ! "${_REL}"=vivid" ] && [ ! "${_REL}"=wily" ] && [ ! "${_REL}"=xenial" ]; then
In
install_xfce_desktop file:
if [ ! "${_REL}"=jessie" ] && [ ! "${_REL}"=vivid" ] && [ ! "${_REL}"=wily" ]; then --> if [ ! "${_REL}"=jessie" ] && [ ! "${_REL}"=vivid" ] && [ ! "${_REL}"=wily" ] && [ ! "${_REL}"=xenial" ]; then
In
params.sh file:
distro=xenial
Features:
- Based on Loboris image
- English language
- MATE desktop installed
- GPU acceleration [Mali r4p0-00rel0 modules and binaries]
- VPU acceleration [vdpau-sunxi]
- glmark2-es2 installed for testing
- mpv and SMPlayer configured for accelerated video playback with vdpau
- CPU usage, frequency and temperature in top panel
- Two 1080p h.264 videos for testing (in Videos folder)
Problems:
To do:
- Improve performance
- Switch to a hardware accelerated composite manager
- Increase CMA memory (memory used for video decoding)
- Install Kodi
