No audio on T480s.
by hedj＠protonmail.com 31 Oct '25

Dear Genodefolk, Having long wanted to run genode on real hardware, I acquired a Lenovo Thinkpad T480s. Everything seems to work well except that no sound is produced through either speakers or headphones. In particular, I have tried both falkon and chocolatedoom after adding the mixer and audio options. The Fn keys don't seem to alter the situation. reports/log shows [runtime -> audio] azalia0 [8087:9d71] [runtime -> audio] : [runtime -> audio] : azalia0: codecs: Realtek ALC257 ... [runtime -> audio] : audio0 at azalia0 etc No errors are reported that I can see. Any suggestions as to what I might to do to investigate further? Thanks, John

Is Block-Persistence Possible on non-Linux base?
by Rumen Mitov 26 Oct '25

26 Oct '25

Hi, Is there a way to achieve functionality similar to lx_fs on non-base-linux? My best guess is something like: ```xml <start name="ahci"> <resource name="RAM" quantum="1M" /> <provides><service name="Block" /></provides> <config atapi="no"> <report ports="yes"/> <policy label="isomem -> " device="0" writeable="yes" /> <policy label="vfs -> " device="1" writeable="yes" /> </config> <route> <service name="Report"> <child name="ahci_report_rom"/> </service> <any-service> <parent/> <any-child/> </any-service> </route> </start> <start name="vfs" ram="200M" caps="200"> <provides><service name="File_system"/></provides> <config> <vfs> <dir name="dev"> <block name="block" block_buffer_count="128"/> </dir> <dir name="snapper"> <rump fs="ext2fs" ram="64M" writeable="yes"/> </dir> </vfs> <policy label_prefix="snapper" root="/snapper" writeable="yes"/> </config> <route> <service name="Block"> <child name="ahci"/> </service> <any-service> <parent/> <any-child/> </any-service> </route> </start> ``` However, with this ACHI complains that device=1 is already taken. If I remove the following from the vfs_component: ```xml <dir name="dev"> <block name="block" block_buffer_count="128"/> </dir> ``` Then the error goes away, but I am unable to read and write to the file-system. From what I have read it's not possible to have persistent storage without lx_fs, necessitating the use of base-linux. Please let me know if I missed something in my research. Best, Rumen
