jackhillWith the trackpad, is there a way to click and hold?05:15
jackhillin wev, I see an immediate release event after a click event. They way this has worked for me on other computers is to do a double tab, but not release it the second time.05:16
jackhillHaving not looked too deeply, it feels like something to be fixed in the trackpad firmware.05:17
jackhillwhat was the troubleshooting advice for the sound "card" not showing up sometimes?05:21
jackhillI'll have to do some more off/on cycles to see how repeatable it is. The boot where I just experienced the sound problem was the first one after removing an re-inserting the battery, so I could easily see some edge scenario.05:25

scopshmmm there something really wrong. normaly gvfs should virtually mount the cd. but "gio mount cdda://sg0/" and then "list" doesnt see anything... x.x08:35
scopsi think most apps would talk to gvfs... ripperx seems to directly communicate with the device... so this app works08:36

ex-parrotI have never had good luck with gvfs without something like gvfs-fuse as well, but the state of the art must have changed somewhat since I used it much last 10:14
ex-parrothttps://img.hotplate.co.nz/r7WxQM8c totally natural and non-staged photo of the Reform at hacker meetup tonight 10:15
ex-parrotPeople love the machine 10:15
scops<ex-parrot "I have never had good luck with "> normaly gnome/xfce has no problems with audio cds at all... there must be something special on the debian on reform that it doesnt work right :(10:17
ex-parrotodd. Can you summarise the problem for me?10:19
ex-parrotI have a USB CD-ROM drive handy so I can probably reproduce it here 10:19
scopsi plug in the drive... dmesg says all is fine and the device /dev/sg0 is ready. but nothing happens if i put in a audio cd (no virtual mount in thunar,...) all rippers/players i tried dont find the cd besides ripperx which says there is no cd at start but if i click on scan it finds it and can rip10:20
ex-parrotinteresting 10:21
scopsgio mount cdda://sg0 has no problem but gio list cdda://sg0 doesnt list anything10:21
ex-parrotI’ve never tried “mounting” an audio CD before 10:21
ex-parrotExcept on BeOS I guess 10:22
scopsyeah i dont "need" this but something like freac or Sound Juicer should find it to use the tools ^^ 10:22
scops(yeah... on BeOS it was really nice tu work with audio cds x)10:22
scopss/tu/to10:23
ex-parrotit’s not something as banal as the device file ownership / permissions?10:23
ex-parrotthough I guess if ripperx works that seems unlikely 10:24
scopsyeah... 10:24
scopsthen ripperx wouldnt work either 10:24
scopshmmm maybe there is strange mappig problem...? or is it normal that it runs as "scsi" device? journalctl says: "attached scsi generic sg0 type 5"10:28
scopsmaybe there is a problem with the device itself? its an LG Bluray Burner10:29
scopsbut all data about it that i see with journalctl/dmesg seems to be ok10:30
ex-parrotUSB CD-ROM drives show up as a SCSI device, that’s Norma 10:39
ex-parrotnormal 10:40
ex-parrotShould be an sr0 device 10:40
ex-parrotwhat time zone are you in scops? (This question is unrelated to the CD-ROM thing)10:40
scopsgmt+2 atm i think :) i'm from germany10:41
ex-parrotah nice, the morning Europe zone :)10:42
mntmnex-parrot: nice photo!10:53
mntmnscops: have you tried the usb cdrom thing on another debian computer and compared dmesg/journal output after plugging it in, etc?10:54
scopsno, just on a macbook till now... but i try it (there is ubuntu on my other linux machine right now)10:55
scopsok the sr0 part is missing on the reform... the sg0 part is the same10:58
scopsmaybe there is a driver missing in the reform kernel10:59
mntmnscops: what does sr0 mean?11:02
scopsmom i post the logs in a min11:02
scops /dev/sr0 is the device of the audio cd... sg0 seems to be the device itself?!11:03
mntmnsg0 means scsi generic i think, and sr0 scsi rom11:03
mntmnscops: https://tldp.org/HOWTO/SCSI-2.4-HOWTO/sr.html11:04
mntmnscops: i guess you should check if this module is in the kernel config (probably not)11:05
scopsok,... but the sr0 never appears11:05
scopsyeah... could you please compile a kernel with this module? ^^ or make it possible to load modules ?11:06
mntmnno11:06
mntmnhttps://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/BLK_DEV_SR.html11:06
mntmnscops: it's your turn to build the kernel!11:06
scops... on the reform it takes ages x.x11:07
scopsit would be easier if the default kernel you build could load kernel modules from the fs instead of packing all into the image and not having the option to load additional ones... i dont know if this is possible on the reform. but it would make the life much easier11:09
ex-parrotOnce you’ve compiled the kernel once it’s usually possible to just build modules and load them, if module loading is enabled 11:50
scopsyeah, i know. the refrom is much "bare metal" atm...  it is difficult to use as daily driver. in general there are often edge cases on linux that you need to compile stuff yourself or going though config files (...) it's even more on the Reform / Arm platform - if you dont using a Raspberry ^^. that make the refrom not a bad device... just a device that isn't suitable as daily driver like  for example tuxedo laptop with linux... :/12:20
+ rasmus (~rasmus@c83-253-223-217.bredband.tele2.se)12:22
ex-parrotI guess it depends what kind of daily driving you do too. For my purposes so far I didn’t find anything that I can’t do 12:23
scopshm... i need to recompile the kernel if i want to use network in Basilisk II or want to use a cdrom? :)12:24
scopsbut yes... it depends. but that are not problems on a mainstream linux device.12:25
scopslike i said, that "ok" because the reform is still jung and there are not a big devteam at MNT ;)12:26
ex-parrotI haven’t looked at how the kernel config currently differs from what eg Debian is shipping but it’s probably possible to merge the two and have a bigger build with modules and more edge features 12:32
ex-parrotThat’s what I did on the Novena before it had official Debian support 12:34

jackhillis the best I could find in dmesg19:04
mntmnscops: sorry! lets turn this into something productive. how about you make me a list of the missing kernel modules that you encountered and i put them in the official build. then the buildserver can make a new kernel19:41
scopsjackhill: just reboot... :) should fix itself19:52

mntmnjackhill: for me it's happening only on hard power cycle i think20:41
mntmnlike, if batteries are disconnected and reconnected20:41
jackhillmntmn: after removing batteris was when I first noticed it, but the latest time was after a sudo halt, circle 1 cycle. In between those was a boot with sound20:42
mntmnjackhill: hmmm ok. the error should be something along the lines of wm8960: failed to issue reset20:43
mntmni guess more in-depth poking/debugging in the driver would be required.20:44

jackhillI have one battery cell that seems to plummet in voltage before all the others. It goes from 3.1 to 0.1 while the others are 3.1 or 3.0. Same sell over three discharge cycles. I assume it's a weak cell. I assume troubleshooting steps involve moving it around to differt spots in the pack? Perhaps I should also try it in a single-cell LiFePO₄ charger (I don't currently have one) before replacing it.22:04
sbphow are you currently charging them?22:05
jackhillI'm letting Reform do the charging22:09
jackhillIt looks like they're all getting more or less the same fulness22:09

jackhills/non/none/22:10
mntmnjackhill: hmm sounds like a weak cell >:|22:11
jackhillseems like an easy enough part for me to replace. Is there a cheat sheet for going from position on the OLED to which cell? I guess I can check them all when they're on the low side, but having a cross check would be great.22:14
