josch minute: that singular patch on top of mesa in Debian is enough to stop chromium and gimp from crashing :)00:20

joschnow the question is what will happen first: a) cross-building is possible again in unstable or b) new mesa version gets released and uploaded to unstable :)00:20

kfx does anyone have a concise guide to what the best recipe is of system images, rescue images, u-boot builds, and all this?  I flashed the latest reform-rescue-image to emmc, and it won't boot (drops to an initrd shell because it can't find the sd card)00:27
kfxI can't keep track of all the moving parts00:28
minutekfx: sorry to hear. we really need an uptodate guide for this00:28
minutealso, that sounds a bit like a bug00:28
vagrantchrm. travelling with a serial cable sticking out of the side of the mnt/reform will be fun.00:29
kfxI can't get it to boot from nvme at all, it just tries to boot from sd and fails00:29
vagrantcACTION needs to come up with some sort of jumper cables so the serial port is accessible but not actually dangling all over00:30

kfxfour different u-boot builds and I can't boot from anything but an sd card.  I'm definitely doing something wrong, I just wish I could figure out what01:13
kfxserial output gets to "switch to partitions #0, OK" and then just chills out01:13

joschkfx: this is because the reform-rescue-image is configured to obtain / from sd-card06:15
joschkfx: so you cannot just flash it to emmc -- it won't boot06:15
joschkfx: to have /boot and / on emmc, you first put the rescue image on an sd-card, then migrate to emmc06:16
joschyou can also use reform-flash-rescue if you have an internet connection in the rescue-image -- that script will flash the latest sysimage-v3 onto your emmc06:17
joschkfx: alternatively, boot from sd-card and then use reform-migrate and reform-boot-config manually to setup your emmc06:18
joschkfx: maybe this can help you: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-handbook/-/issues/206:19
joschessentially, your /boot is set up to read / from the sd-card in the rescue image by default06:21
joschto change that, change the / entry in /etc/fstab and run update-initramfs -u with the correct /boot mounted06:22

joschin other news, my wm8960audio doesn't show up in aplay -l with linux 6.0.511:36
joschfrom my dmesg:11:36
josch[   19.033477] fsl-sai 308b0000.sai: Missing dma channel for stream: 011:36

minutelooks like a regression?13:01
minuteah, dma13:01
joschminute: any ideas?13:02
minutewe had something like this before... if i could only remember. i think something was hogging dma channels, something like RAID13:02
minuteit was really silly 13:02
minutedo you see anything with raid or md in your dmesg log, like tests?13:03

joschminute: bingo! "apt remove mdadm" makes sound work again13:08
joschhaleluja13:08
minutewow ok13:08
joschthis could've taken hours to debug XD13:08
minuteglad that i had this bizarre factoid in my memory still13:08
minutewhat can we do about it? does mdadm load a kernel module that we could block?13:09
joschi can investigate that13:09
josch(because i need mdadm installed...)13:10
minuteoh13:14
minutei remember there was a kernel option that runs a number of raid tests13:14
minuteand it says you shouldn't enable it unless you really need it13:15
minutedon't know if that's on perhaps13:15
joschso "blacklist raid456" in /etc/modprobe.d/reform.conf is a workaround that lets me have mdadm installed while still having sound13:45
joschbut i assume this is not the proper fix13:45
joschnot having raid456 loaded makes other modules not getting loaded which might be the ones with the error13:46

joschminute: in more positive news:16:20
joschLinux reform 6.0.0-reform2-arm64 #1 SMP Debian 6.0.7-1+reform20221106T054859Z1 (2022-11-06) aarch64 GNU/Linux16:20
joschcrossbuilding works again, so the CI pipeline built linux 6.0.7, patched mesa and patched gstreamer16:20
minuteoh great!!16:36
minutesooo... we have a gstreamer with hevc decode now?16:36
joschno, the gstreamer patch is for clapper to work well with youtube and twitch streams16:36
minuteah cool!16:37
joschi'm currently watching 1080p h264 twitch stream -- it's nice :)16:37
joschwhat's especially nice about hardware decoding is, that i can have a -j4 mesa build at the same time with zero video stutters16:37
minuteawesome16:38
minutelol!16:38
joschthat was not possible on my intel laptop16:38
joschminute: should we blacklist raid456 in reform-tools with an explicative comment because nobody is going to use raid on the reform or is somebody taking more time to look into a the proper fix?16:38
minutejosch: yes, please do it16:40
minuteit's more likely that people would have problems with audio than with raid16:40
joschin my case, i installed the guestfish package which indirectly depends on mdadm which in turn modifies the initramfs for raid -- which is totally useless for guestfish..16:41
minutehuh16:48
joschi could ask for the mdadm package to be split into the part that guestfish needs and those parts needed when you actually run raid but before that i'd like to know what actually breaks sound to be sure that it's actually worth the effor to do so16:49
