ex-parrotjosch: I'm keen to test the debian stuff04:57
ex-parrotI'd like to have a closer to stock Debian kernel config04:58
ex-parrotjosch: what's your end game vis a vis Debian kernel config on reform? bring a more standard Debian userland as well?05:10
ex-parrotnot that the existing one is particularly exotic I guess05:10
joschex-parrot: currently I'm working on minimizing the difference in CONFIG parameters between a stock Debian kernel and the reform kernel so that you can expect the same things to work on the reform as they work on a normal Debian system05:51
joschex-parrot: wrt the userland I think i'm mostly done. My goal was to package all the stuff that so far only got copied into random places all across the system so that updating everything can be done via a simple "apt-get upgrade"05:52
ex-parrotthat's really exciting :)06:48
ex-parrotI'm very keen to give it a whirl once it's in a state to do so06:49

Boostisbetteryeah me too. I would love to be able to safely apt upgrade without worrying about breaking anything. 09:46
joschThe really *safe* upgrading will probably only happen once the reform runs Debian stable instead of unstable.09:53

Boostisbetterminute: does that mean I can update my reform-tools and get them all working again, or not quite?15:22
joschBoostisbetter: not yet -- I'm at $work and will take care of this is a few hours and ping you once it's ready.15:30
minutereform-debian-packages currently can't build because there's not enough (ram)disk space15:32
Boostisbetterjosch, minute, ok sounds good. Looking forward to, thanks!15:37
Boostisbetterjosch, minute, ok sounds good. Looking forward to it, thanks! Hope the work grind isn't too bad today!15:37
joschminute: the build is done in $pwd (if I didn't make any mistakes) -- how much space do we have there?15:38
minutejosch: that should be in the build directory, which is under /ramdisk, which is 24GB in size15:39
minutethe server has 48GB ram so i could make that bigger 15:39
minutebut interesting that it needs so much15:39
joschLet me measure how much space the build needs. I'll come back to you with numbers tonight.15:39
joschminute: When building a full linux kernel several dozen GB of disk space are needed.15:40
minutethanks!15:40
BoostisbetterBTW, for any of you out there who would prefer using Brave on the Reform, I was able to get a positive feedback on them adding it to the line up. No promises of when exactly but we should be seeing builds targeting aarch64 in the future. 16:17

joschBoostisbetter: the reform-debian-packages pipeline passed and within one hour the contents of https://mntre.com/reform-debian-repo/pool/main/r/reform-tools/ should update to version 1.2 at which point you can apt upgrade and install18:50

Boostisbetterminute: if you need any help testing those, I'm down. 19:22
minuteBoostisbetter: thanks! do you have a CM4?19:23
Boostisbetterminute: I do not currently. But if you want I will happily go ahead and get one. I would love to find the 8GB version actually. 19:24
Boostisbetterjosch: thanks! I'll be keeping an eye out for it!19:28
joschBoostisbetter: It has been updated now.19:28
Boostisbetterjosch: ok but I am not seeing it as a package that can be updated using apt19:30
Boostisbetterdid you mean I would need to pull the package down manually and install using dpkg?19:30
joschBoostisbetter: no, you need to run "apt update" first19:31
joschInteresting... the reform doesn't boot without CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE=y19:31
Boostisbetteryeah, I did19:31
joschBoostisbetter: then you probably have some caching configured somewhere? reform-tools is in https://mntre.com/reform-debian-repo/dists/reform/main/binary-arm64/Packages as it should19:33
Boostisbetterok, well I just installed it manually. It fixed everything. 19:37
Boostisbetterso did the reform-compstat change? It use to just show a bar that update. Now it shows a bar that moves along a short horizontal line. Looks cool, but I'm just curious if this is intentional?19:40
joschProbably not. minute will be able to say how it should look like. I didn't run sway on the old sysimage-v219:52
minuteBoostisbetter: do you have some screenshot? i have no idea what you mean20:00
minuteBoostisbetter: there was no intentional change to the design20:00
BoostisbetterThis is how it looks now: 20:00
BoostisbetterCPU __________ R/W _______ _________20:03
Boostisbetterwith the lines having peaks alogn the lines as activity is registered20:03
Boostisbetterbefore, instead of a line, it was just a single bar that went up and down 20:03
Boostisbetterlike this: 20:04
BoostisbetterCPU _ R/W _ | _20:04
minutethat's broken then20:05
minutei will also update to the latest packages later and see if i also get this behavior20:06
Boostisbetterminute: ok20:06
joschminute: building src:linux requires 4.6 GB build space plus 674 MB for dependencies.20:16
minutejosch: hmm, we def. have that much space20:18

joschBoostisbetter: You can fix it by applying this change to your ~/.config/waybar/config: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-tools/-/merge_requests/6/diffs#6a3b04fcefe2a639e6e66a41b2323ca09e76eba7_63_6220:59
minuteoh yeah. i forgot that i had made that configurable21:00
minutethanks josch 21:01
Boostisbetterjosch: thanks, that indeed did fix it. 21:05
Boostisbetterminute: When I go to remove connman it automatically wants to remove reform-tools21:05
Boostisbetterdoes connman still conflict if you are using gnome settings for that21:05
Boostisbetterif so how can I disable connman WITHOUT uninstalling reform-tools?21:06
joschBoostisbetter: reform tools depends on connman because it contains scripts that require connman21:07
joschspecifically reform-connman-gtk21:07
joschso removing connman would break the functionality of reform-tools21:08
Boostisbettermeaning I should stop using gnome-control-center to select wifi networks?21:08
ex-parrotweirdly I couldn't get conman to connect to my wifi at all, so I've been running normal Network Manager21:09
joschwe could also change reform-connman-gtk so that it doesn't require connman but prints a warning if connman isn't installed. Then we could move connman from a Depends to a Recommends21:09
ex-parrotand just using nmtui21:10
ex-parrotwhen I was running Debian21:10
joschi'm also a bit puzzled by scripts like reform-connman-gtk because they only contain two lines of shell script21:10
minutejosch: sorry. we are moving away from connman21:11
minuteactually in the last sysimage that i touched, i moved to networkmanager and nmtui21:12
minuteso reform-connman-gtk can be removed21:12
minuteyep https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-tools/-/blob/main/etc/skel/.config/waybar/config#L4621:13
minutejosch: sorry i didn't communicate that well enough. so, connman / connman-gtk / reform-connman-gtk can all be removed21:13
BoostisbetterYeah I noticed that in the waybar config changes, I saw that connman-gtk was no longer invoked on click21:14
joschminute: okay https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-tools/-/merge_requests/721:14
minuteyeah, the reason is that most people expect and know networkmanager 21:14
minutealso, gnome21:14
ex-parrotmy best guess is that conman didn't like the emojis in my network name21:15
minutejosch: thanks!21:16
minutethe reform-system-image v3 branch has the right deps, i just checked... it installs network-manager which contains nmtui21:16
Boostisbetterwhich means it would be compatible with gnome-control-center?21:18
Boostisbetterminute: as for me being able to get that update, need to wait for another compile and an update to the repo?21:19
minuteBoostisbetter: correct21:19
Boostisbetterin the meantime, if I notice conflicts (like wifi dropping and reconnecting) is there anything I can do to prevent connman from messing with things?21:20
Boostisbetteror is that not really a concern?21:20
minutenot sure if i understand21:21
minutebasically you should not run connman21:21
minuteif you have network-manager running21:21
Boostisbetterminute: don't worry about it, I think I figured it all out. 21:21
minutei believe it's a service, so you can probably do `systemctl disable connman` and `systemctl stop connman`21:21
Boostisbetterbingo21:22
Boostisbetterthanks21:22
Boostisbetterforgot about systemctl21:22
minutesystemctl is really essential21:23
joschminute: you are right. While the kernel build a few days ago ran out of disk space, it worked fine for the latest build.21:48
