| josch | Boostisbetter: this is a priority:critical bug in the greetd package that i was just able to reproduce and filed as https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1025872 | 01:25 |
| josch | Boostisbetter: to recover, you need to boot your reform from a different medium (like a rescue sd-card), then mount your rootfs to somewhere (like /mnt) and then either: | 01:26 |
| josch | chroot /mnt apt remove greetd | 01:26 |
| josch | or | 01:26 |
| josch | sed -i 's/$SHELL/\/bin\/bash/' /mnt/etc/greetd/config.toml | 01:28 |
| Boostisbetter | I would prefer the rescue sd card. Can I just use the reform image on a different SD card? I am running off the nvme drive. I was kind of hoping I could just use a live cd on a thumb drive. | 01:30 |
| josch | Boostisbetter: you can use a thumb drive if your u-boot is compiled from git | 01:30 |
| josch | Boostisbetter: the last uboot tag cannot yet boot from usb | 01:31 |
| josch | Boostisbetter: is your nvme encrypted? | 01:31 |
| Boostisbetter | No it is not. So I was thinking I might remove the drive and mount it on another computer. | 01:35 |
| Boostisbetter | And just make the config.toml edit you mentioned. | 01:35 |
| - GNUmoon (QUIT: Remote host closed the connection) (~GNUmoon@gateway/tor-sasl/gnumoon) | 01:35 | |

| josch | Boostisbetter: yes, if you have a way to install the drive elsewhere, then you can do it exactly as you said. | 01:37 |
| josch | Boostisbetter: in case the other machine is not an arm64 machine but has qemu-user installed, you can even do the chroot and apt remove step there | 01:40 |
| Boostisbetter | I have a Librem 5 I might be able to mount the drive to. | 01:41 |

| josch | my reform-check script is becoming more and more useful! Today I learned: if you have trouble with libreoffice closing drop-down menus as you hover with your mouse over items that create their own submenus, just install libreoffice-gtk3 and the problem is gone! :D | 12:44 |

| josch | i'll post it on the forums as well for some more testing and feedback later during the day | 14:39 |
| Boostisbetter | I would be willing to help but I have to first getting my reform loading correctly after the greetd issue. | 14:41 |

| josch | minute: i was also unable to reproduce the problem you saw with the images from CI -- could you merge some of the merge requests I filed recently against reform-system-image so that the CI produces a new image again? | 19:37 |
| minute | josch: already merged 3 of them today :3 also, which problem do you mean, the one that appeared on bootup "configure your system" etc? this was indeed gone with the last build | 19:38 |
| josch | minute: interesting... i just did a build today and did not have the problem | 19:38 |
| josch | i'll download the latest image again and try myself | 19:39 |
| josch | maybe this is a problem with the CI tooling then? | 19:39 |
| minute | hmm? as i said, the problem was already gone | 19:39 |
| josch | ah | 19:39 |
| josch | whoops, parsing error :D | 19:39 |
| minute | ah :D | 19:39 |
| josch | okay, all good then ^^ | 19:39 |
| josch | i see your merges now -- thank you!! :) | 19:40 |
| minute | cool, thanks for the MRs! | 19:42 |
| bkeys | josch: Are you an MNT employee or just a very active contributor? | 19:47 |
| josch | bkeys: thanks for the compliment, I guess XD | 19:55 |
| josch | bkeys: no, i'm just a volunteer | 19:55 |
| josch | which is also why my contributions happen on weekends ;) | 19:55 |
| vkoskiv | josch works on (at?) debian | 19:55 |
| josch | well, nobody works "at" debian -- we are all volunteers there as well :) | 19:56 |
| josch | (though some people are paid for their debian work by the company that employs them) | 19:56 |
| josch | this is also why my "thank you" messages at minute are quite serious: all i do is for my own hobby interests so it's not a given that minute merges my stuff but if they do, then that's great for me because that minimizes the diff between what i'm running and what is shipped by mntre.com :) | 20:00 |

| bkeys | I am gonna build the mainline Fedora kernel into an .rpm, then I will see about building it with the Reform patches | 21:59 |
| bkeys | If I get that built then I will make a copr repo for it | 21:59 |
| josch | bkeys: don't forget that you not only need the patches but you also need to make sure that you load all the required modules during boot | 22:06 |
| josch | bkeys: this is the list we load manually in Debian: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-system-image/-/blob/main/reform2-imx8mq/mkuserland.sh#L39 | 22:08 |
| bkeys | I have not done much kernel development; I have built kernels but not messed with modules loading at boot | 22:16 |
| Boostisbetter | josch, so I was able to recover the Reform using my Librem 5 and that m2 to usb adapter I linked to earlier. Worked like a charm. I was able to add the command line and then log into sway where i could then do an apt purge greetd. Back to normal now. | 22:33 |
| Boostisbetter | So I highly recommend the adapter. It works with m2 and nvme drives in the m2 format. | 22:33 |
| bkeys | Librem5 seemed like a dumpster fire towards the end | 22:38 |
| bkeys | How is it in reality? | 22:38 |
| vagrantc | heh. that reminds me. i should see if mine works... it finally arrived :) | 22:40 |
| bkeys | Yeah I had a google pixel xl 3a that ran grapheneOS and it was just fine for me; but my kid threw it when we were in a museum and it's been gone for some weeks | 22:43 |
| Boostisbetter | bkeys: honestly it has a lot of potential but the issues with buggy cellular reliability and resume from suspend is just frustrating. The reform by comparison is rock solid. | 22:43 |
| bkeys | I can live fine without a physical phone since I can text and call from XMPP/SIP respectively | 22:43 |
| Boostisbetter | Yep, cheogram is great! | 22:44 |
| Boostisbetter | Also why the pocket reform is a great alternative to the L5. | 22:44 |
| bkeys | I agree the Reform is rock solid; I am split between getting another Pixel with GrapeneOS, waiting for the pocket Reform, the pinephone (or librem5 I guess) | 22:44 |
| bkeys | Given Lukas has done a good job on delivering what he promised the pocket reform and pixel with grapheneos seem like good options | 22:45 |
| bkeys | Right now I am resuming efforts of building a good Fedora image for the Reform; the custom kernel rpm is building right now on my pinebook | 22:46 |
| vagrantc | the pocket reform seems a curious size... not quite sure what i'd think of it | 22:48 |
| vagrantc | a "phone"-sized device is really useful for how portable it is ... the pocket reform seems to be more like a tiny netbook (remember netbooks?) | 22:49 |
| bkeys | Yeah it would be nice because you can call and text people but it's not as invasive into your life as a regular phone | 22:51 |
