Spring update of ALT p9 starter kits

Ready eighth edition starter kits kits on the Ninth Platform Alt. These images are suitable for getting started with a stable repository for advanced users who prefer to define their own list of application packages and customize the system (up to creating their own derivatives). Distributed as composite works under the terms of the GPLv2 + license. Variants of include the base system and one of the desktop environments or a set of specialized applications.

Builds prepared for i586, x86_64, aarch64 and armh architectures. Additionally available assemblies for the mipsel architecture in versions for the Tavolga and BFK3 systems on the Baikal-T1 processor. Owners of VK Elbrus based on 4C and 8C / 1C + processors have access to a number of starter kits . Also collected are options for Engineering on p9 – Live with engineering software and cnc-rt – Live with real-time kernel and LinuxCNC for x86_64.

Changes since December release:

  • Linux kernel std-def 5.4.104 and un-def 5.10.20, in cnc-rt – kernel-image-rt 4.19.160;
  • Firefox ESR 78.8.0 (on aarch64 – Firefox 82);
  • The x86_64 ISO images are slightly smaller due to the fact that the kernel copy with initrd can no longer fit into the ESP partition;
  • aarch64 ISO images now boot normally on systems with u-boot / efi;
  • works Live with saving session when booting to UEFI (x86_64, aarch64);
  • kde5 starterkit reduced in size from 2 GB to 1.4 GB;
  • un-def is the default kernel in rootfs;
  • Raspberry Pi: sound problem fixed when booting with un-def kernel;
  • Raspberry Pi 4: rootfs with un-def kernel boots successfully, works stable, but hardware 3D acceleration does not work – use a build with the -rpi suffix with a special kernel for Raspberry Pi;
  • mcom02: changed screen resolution from 1920×1080 to 1366×768 (set in /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf).
