Quoting: LeonardKOh, I also found a Type 5 online and would like to buy it, but the converters I found where either shady or self-built but old and with many dead links. Can you point me to a good resource for buying one or building your own?

I'm using this one: http://www.networktechinc.com/cgi-bin/keemux/usb-sun.html [External Link]

It works, but on Linux it has a minor issue - extra Sun keys (like Stop / Again on the left) aren't recognized, and brightness / volume ones aren't working either. But other than that it works well. With illumos, those keys are recognized.

I also saw this one: http://store.ultraspec.us/5168.html [External Link]

But I have never used it, so no idea if it's any better.

Quoting: ArneJAh now I know where the inspiration for the layout of my WhiteFox [External Link] comes from.

Interesting. Do they have full keyboards like that? I don't like minified keyboards without function keys and numpad. I'm currently using Sun Type 5 keyboard with USB converter, but I'd prefer something a bit more ergonomic but also using Unix layout.

Quoting: GuestIn your bug report you've mentioned issues with booting straight to SDDM already. I think the hint of Martin could be right, your DRM backend has issues. I had something similar when using mesa-git link [External Link]. It could be that llvm-libs are updated after building mesa, I don't use Debian testing anymore, so not sure how the quality is these days...

Yep, it's something to do with amdgpu I suppose. So I'm waiting for some feedback from AMD / Mesa developers.

Quoting: GuestJust for the record, on my systems I use AMDGPU, AMDGPU.DC=1 and only mesamodesetting drivers.

amdgpu.dc is always active for Vega.

Quoting: GuestAt which point is Kwin segfaulting for you? Is it really Kwin or maybe only Plasma? Because if that is the case, you should be able to click ALT + SPACE or ALT + F2 to kill and restart plasma.

The session fails right on start and falls back into sddm. I'm not even sure it's KWin. I tried catching it with gdb, but it didn't work. See here:

Looks like 5.13.3 improves some things. I'm still on 5.13.2.

Quoting: GuestWhat I would like to see are some Wayland numbers.

Yep, that's an interesting metric. I was trying to use it recently, but KWin Wayland session keeps segfaulting, which is possibly related to amdgpu DisplayPort bugs. Does it ever work for you over DisplayPort?

Eitr is also listed for 2018, but I'm not sure whether they'll release it.

Thanks for showing trends without empty periods!

One feature stopped working now though. Before the legend was clickable, and you could toggle graphs to see only a subset. Now it's not working anymore.

Also, one suggestion. It would be useful in trends to show total number of users, not just percentages. That will give an idea how big is the dataset.

I don't use SteamOS, but Linux gaming could benefit from Valve renewing their marketing push for publishers. They were more active in the time of Steam Machines, but it looks like their marketing efforts cooled down. That had somewhat damaging effect.
