Asmadeusmntmn: https://xnux.eu/devices/feature/cedrus-pp.html (for pinephone) mentions using v4l2-requests for mpv through a patched libva instead of patching ffmpeg ; I wonder if that one would be easier to merge... kind of annoying how much efforts are being duplicated (between gstreamer, ffmpeg and this now...)00:22
* lexik_ -> lexik00:54
mntmnAsmadeus: hmm yeah. 01:17
mntmnAsmadeus: that's interesting because it doesn't require recompiling firefox or mpv. although i'm not sure how clean that is01:18

Asmadeusthere's a libva-v4l2-request package in AUR and fedora so it's probably not THAT bad01:22
Asmadeusas libva looks modular it's not even replacing libva, just adding a plugin01:22
Asmadeusmy main worry is that this repo has been without activity for two years, with a handful of PRs ignored and as many issues...01:23
mntmninteresting01:30
mntmnwhat's worrying more is the bad perf i've seen at 1080p01:30
mntmnand wondering how scops had 60fps in moonlight at 1080p01:31
mntmnmaybe something is wonky on my setup, but idk01:31
Asmadeushaven't had a chance to try yet, frame drops you said? on my imx8mp with gstreamer I've noticed the waylandsink drops frames while the glimagesink does not so it might be more about how the frame is displayed than decoding01:31
mntmnyeah, i believe that too01:31
mntmni'm pretty sure mpv is outputting to GL, but maybe there is some inefficiency there somewhere, like an additional blit01:32
Asmadeusyeah, I need to finish setting up my reform have been quite busy breaking internet for people on the other side of the world... :D01:35
AsmadeusAnd you should get some sleep!01:35
mntmnhaha01:37

Asmadeusmntmn: hm, what should the keyboard come back as exactly when in flashing mode? my flashing switch was already set to on, just resetting makes it come back as idVendor=03eb, idProduct=2ff4 (Product: ATm32U4DFU) but dfu-programmer says no device present. Toggling switch off and resetting does make they keyboard come back to life15:11
mntmnAsmadeus: sudo15:12
mntmn(ATm32U4DFU is correct)15:12
Asmadeusgah right15:13
Asmadeusbetter, thanks15:13

Asmadeusjust a note if others like me will be flashing their keyboard a lot for the first few days: wdt_enable(0) is a good way to force a keyboard reset from software to map it to a circle+whatever key and close the keyboard frame :D16:19
Asmadeus(I'll want to flip the switch back eventually but for now flexibility wins)16:19
mntmnAsmadeus: ah, thanks for figuring that out. i also read its possible to jump into the bootloader, but it's kind of complicated16:22
mntmnAsmadeus: i will put that in the menu then, as its useful in conjunction with the HTML/JS-based remapping editor i made16:23

jackhillmntmn: my experience so far with the reform has been very positive. Before I use it as a daily driver though, I'm going to have to put my normal (Guix) software load on it.17:40
mntmnjackhill: cool, thanks! is it a lot of work to get guix going?17:41
jackhillOh, and i have to get wireless card. Somehow I've misplaced the one I had set aside for it. Probably should have just ordered one from you :)17:41
jackhillmntmn: (re: guix) hopefully not. Guix, like Nix (so I'm sure I'll look at their work) can be run on top of Debian or a stand alone system. I've already got Guix going on top of your image, but hope to run it as a stand alone system. It should be easy to use Guix/Debian fromthe SD card to install to nvme.17:43
jackhillI just haven't gotten around to that step yet, still looking at your image and learning things. I'm also making it harder for myself by wanting to mover kernel management over to the guix tooling.17:44
jackhillI already use sway, so in the meantime, I'm tweaking my config to work well on Reform. I think I've found a set of xkboptions that work well for me 🎉17:45
jackhillmntmn: feedback from the self assembly instructions: for the orientation of the display connector, I would have found it clearer if it had said the white dot should face towards the hinges instead of the screen.17:47
jackhillI also spent a long time pondering the twisted OLED cable, but that's just because I didn't make the connection between the plugging it in step and the later twisting/monting step.17:48
jackhillmntmn: question about the hdmi output: does it support sound? (I know I've asked this before, but for the life of me can't remember the answer) 17:49
sbpjackhill: someone was asking in #guix about the Reform last night. I mentioned that people were working on it17:52
sbpindicative of wider interest17:53
dopplerjackhill: ditto on both points of feedback17:53
jackhillsbp: oh, cool! Feel free to mention me. I guess I should write a post to guix-devel@gnu.org to help us coordinate17:54
mntmnjackhill: yeah, i've heard the feedback about the display connector several times now, will update it17:59
mntmnjackhill: hdmi sound is theoretically supported by the driver but not currently active17:59
jackhillmntmn: oh, neat. Something for the project list :)18:01
jackhill(not that I right now have any of the needed skill, but, hey, even if I can't help make it happy, I can probably learn something)18:02
mntmnyeah!18:03
jackhillOther feedback: my trackball is a little rough, and it is easier to move side to side than up and down. And it's not consistent. Sometimes it moves up and down and sometimes it gets stuck. I have tried the cleanin procedure, and that helped a bit, but I'll probably swap it out for the trackpad, and maybe try the ball bearing hack or try to get the cup printed with sliperier material or something.18:05
jackhiller, I mean the ball itself is smooth, but the movement is rough18:06
mntmnjackhill: which material is your cup? SLA (semitransparent) or PLA (black)?18:07
jackhillPLA18:08
jackhill(I did by both modules, so swapping it out wouldn't be a big deal for me)18:09

ZylonMasterhey there18:12
ZylonMasterhmm i must be late again...18:12
ZylonMasteroh well18:12
ZylonMasterjust wondered how things were going here18:12
ZylonMaster:)18:12
jackhillZylonMaster: well, I've had my Reform for less than a week, so it's all very exciting! How are things with you?18:13
ZylonMastergood18:13
ZylonMasterIm mostly waiting on the pocket version18:13
ZylonMasterheh18:13
+ rasmus (~rasmus@c83-253-223-217.bredband.tele2.se)18:14
ZylonMasterfor my uses, it will be more efficient then the big one18:14
ZylonMaster;)18:14
ZylonMasterI have a year wait though18:14
ZylonMasterim sure18:14
ZylonMasterlol18:14
ZylonMasteror 2 depending on what it will be like18:14
ZylonMasteri mean stable prolly will be 218:14
ZylonMasterand you jackhill?18:15
jackhillZylonMaster: I'm well. Back at work today after a mini-vacation. Can't decide if I want a keyboard or sleave, or if I should save up for the new processor modules or pocket reform.18:18
jackhillwould be super to see more special edition sleaves in other colors, but piñatex doesn't seem to have a green color I'm really excited about unfortunately.18:19
ZylonMasterpocket reform looks like it will be good for two things18:20
ZylonMasterword processing, music and battery life18:20
ZylonMasterso 318:20
ZylonMasterlol18:20
ZylonMasteri love that about it though18:20
jackhill:D18:20
ZylonMasterIf the mnt reform had 6-8 hours battery life,18:21
ZylonMasteri bet the pocket one could go beyond thatr18:21
ZylonMasterlike 2x or more18:21
ZylonMastereven with a smaller battery18:21
ZylonMaster:)18:21
ZylonMasterI wonder how much it will cost...18:22
ZylonMasterwhat do you think?18:22
ZylonMasterthoughts jackhill?18:26
jackhillComputing on the go sounds cool, assuming I can start doing things out and about again.18:26
ZylonMasteryeah18:26
ZylonMasterbut smaller screen size, would increase battery life in the case of the pocket version18:26
ZylonMasterright?18:27
ZylonMasterAlthough, I am curious by how much18:27
jackhilldunno, I'll deffer to mntmn :)18:31
ZylonMasterheh18:32
ZylonMastersame18:32
ZylonMasterprobably18:32
ZylonMasterhe doesnt know yet18:32
ZylonMastereither on price18:32
ZylonMasterso lets not18:32
ZylonMasteras for battery life, Im not sure18:33
ZylonMasteri would guess it would increase due to display using so much damn electricity18:33
ZylonMasteridk though18:33
ZylonMasterbtw, https://github.com/antmicro/arvsom18:34
ZylonMasterapparently starfive will be making a quad core version18:34
ZylonMaster:)18:34
ZylonMasterthe devs behind it 18:34
ZylonMasterplanning a new revision of it18:35
ZylonMasterI hope Mnt Reform's devs are watching that18:35
ZylonMaster:)18:35
jackhillI believe I've seen that here before, yes :)18:35

ZylonMastermy bad18:37
ZylonMasterI didnt know 18:37
mntmni think i said that before ^^18:37
ZylonMasteroh you did?18:37
ZylonMasterI thought you just told me, that theres no point18:37
ZylonMastertalkign about it18:38
ZylonMasteryou didnt say it was a rule I thought18:38
ZylonMasterMaybe that's what you meant18:38
mntmnno, i meant i won't discuss it much18:38
ZylonMasterAhhh18:38
ZylonMasterokay18:38
ZylonMasterWell either way, its good your telling me thids18:38
ZylonMasterthis*18:38
ZylonMasterIts a rule now eh18:38
mntmnit makes a lot of noise, people are here mostly to get help/develop the current Reform, i would like to moderate that a bit18:39
ZylonMasteryeah18:39
ZylonMasterthat makes sense18:39
mntmnit's not a rule, just a wish from my part18:39
ZylonMasteroh18:39
jackhillmntmn: anyway, my trackball has PLA parts18:39
ZylonMasterWell either way, feel free to notify me when the device is in beta or stable, I am the frostknight person who is on mastodon18:40
ZylonMasterI am sure you will have an announcement anyways18:40
ZylonMasterthou18:40
mntmnjackhill: hmm ok. it might make sense just to print one or few more if you have access to a 3d printer18:40
mntmnZylonMaster: yeah you will not miss out on it ^^18:40
ZylonMasterindeed18:40
ZylonMasterBut on another subject, whats your thoughts about starfive's quad core version18:41
ZylonMasterit isnt out yet, 18:41
ZylonMasterbut they working on it18:41
ZylonMasterdo you think a quad core could be an option for either in future18:41
ZylonMasterthats I guess my last thought for you18:42
mntmni have a StarFive board here (BeagleV) but did not have enough time to even boot it yet18:42
ZylonMasteroh cool18:42
ZylonMasternice18:42
ZylonMasterDoes it have the 7110 or the regular18:42
mntmni would like to make a fork of the antmicro som though18:42
ZylonMasterthe regular being the dual core18:42
mntmni don't know18:42
ZylonMasterawesome18:42
ZylonMastersounds very good18:42
ZylonMastera fork huh18:43
ZylonMasterhow much would that cost18:43
ZylonMaster?"18:43
ZylonMasterprobably quite a damn lot18:43
mntmni am not very comfortable being asked about prices all the time18:43
ZylonMastersorry18:43
jackhillmntmn: I don't have a printer right now, but I should be getting a https://www.crowdsupply.com/lite3dp/lite3dp-3d-printer soon, which should be big enough.18:43
ZylonMasterI have my weird tendencies18:43
ZylonMasterto be way too curious18:43
ZylonMasterI will try to tone it down18:43
mntmnjackhill: the part is pretty small18:43
mntmnZylonMaster: thanks18:43
jackhillIt would also be a cool story to use one crowdsupply project to augment another one :)18:43
mntmnjackhill: oh for sure18:44
ZylonMasterCrowdfunding the risc-v fork?18:44
ZylonMastergood idea18:44
mntmnZylonMaster: it's a different topic18:44
ZylonMasterright18:44
jackhillI also have a vanity project of making adding more green color parts to reform :)18:44
ZylonMasterYou could do the same with any number of things18:44
mntmnjackhill: ohh that's a tiny printer18:44
ZylonMasterso lets, dont talk about pocket reform or money, or politics, is that the general consensus? I just don't want to get on your nerves18:46
jackhillsmol!18:46
ZylonMastersee*18:46
ZylonMasteror is there anything else18:47
ZylonMaster?18:47
ZylonMasterI guess Ill stick to that for now unless you say anything else18:47
ZylonMasterI hope your project stays alive for a very long time18:48
ZylonMasterthough :)18:48
mntmnZylonMaster: the channel is mainly to discuss MNT Reform technical/usability problems and solutions18:48
ZylonMasterthank you18:48

mntmnbtw in case you didn't know, there is a Genode SD card image for Reform18:52
mjwjackhill, cool! I have guix on top of the Debian image on the nvme. Works great, except when their is no substitution yet and you'll have to build a giant dependency chain first.18:53
jackhillhaha, yeah, hopefully we'll get better aarch64 substitute availability soon (and squash some rust on aarch64 bugs (that I think are unique to our bootstrapping path)). Getting more arm hardware in folks hands is definitely one piece of the puzzle18:55
mjwjackhill, I started hacking on the gcc rust frontend after trying to bootstrap rust with guix, I think we'll finish that frontend earlier than having 24 versions of rust and 6 versions of llvm bootrapped on the mnt reform :)18:56
sbpcould maybe sponsor a build server collectively18:57
sbpnonguix have one, I noticed recently18:57
mjwActually that makes it sound like the mnt reform is really slow. It isn't fast. But given that I am using it to build gcc on it (admittedly not bootstrapping it) means it is not that slow.18:57
mntmnreform is kind of medium speed! ;)18:58
