minutejosch: i think we should automatically insert the current date of the build10:54
minutei.e. the date on which the CI is running10:55
+ MajorBiscuit (~MajorBisc@145.94.137.174)11:13
joschminute: the date on which the CI ran to build reform-system-image (that date can be very old) or the date on which reform-tools was built on the CI?11:37
minutejosch: i think these are two different things, right? 11:37
joschyes11:38
minutethe date shows the system image build date. it does not yet show the reform-tools build date11:38
joschshould both be shown?11:38
minute(or, it's supposed to show the system image build date)11:38
joschit is? but that can be years in the past -- is that really useful to show in the motd?11:38
minuteit is not11:38
minuteso, reform-tools is more sensible11:39
joschyes, i think so as well11:39
joschi'll prepare a merge request then together with the two new environment variables, yes?11:39
vkoskiv+1 to the env vars, forgot to chime in earlier11:40
vkoskivI've got them defined anyway, they seem sensible11:40
joschminute: MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 and _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=111:40
joschboth are referenced in https://wiki.debian.org/Wayland as well11:40
vkoskivIs that nonreparenting one specific to wayland or tiling window managers?11:41
josch(unless you know of a reason against firefox running in wayland of course)11:41
joschvkoskiv: I used _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING before with awesomewm in Xorg but the debian wiki says it's needed for wayland as well11:41
vkoskivYeah, just wondering what exactly it does, if it might mess with non-tiling window managers11:42

joschminute: do you happen to remember why /etc/profile.d/reform.sh calls unicode_start?15:57
minutejosch: yes, otherwise the MNT logo won't render correctly in the linux console15:57
joschThe setup that unicode_start does (like running kbd_mode -u) is already done by the setupcon program during boot. Is there anything that doesn't work without running unicode_start in ~/.profile?15:57
minutehuh.15:58
minutei recall that unicode was not working in console by default15:58
minutemaybe this is different nowadays?15:58
joschMaybe the console-setup package wasn't installed before sysimage-v3?15:59
joschLet me try out what happens if unicode_start is not part of /etc/profile.d/reform.sh.15:59
minuteyep16:00
joschjust to confirm, this is how the mnt logo should look like on the terminal (without sway) as well: https://mister-muffin.de/p/wbqO.png16:00
minutejosch: yes16:02
joschgreat, i'll look into it16:02
minutecool!16:02
joschShould we also change the text at the bottom of /etc/motd-rescue? Currently it says: This is the Rescue System on eMMC flash (mmcblk0). It is intended for repairs on your main system on SD card (mmcblk1) or NVMe SSD.16:07

joschyup, unicode_start is definitely not needed. Even without it, the MNT logo renders correctly.18:04
joschminute: is there a reason the rainbow colors are not shown for the rescue system but only a red bar?18:04
joschi downloaded the rescue image from CI and used motd-full with the rainbow colors instead and they rendered correctly18:05
minutejosch: it's on purpose18:07
minutethe red bar suggests an emergency18:08
minute;)18:08
joschah okay :)18:24
joschi feel reminded of my very first linux (some 12 CD suse linux box) where when you logged in as root, there were bombs with lit fuses all over the desktop wallpaper XD18:25
vagrantcACTION read unicode_start as unicorn_start with the rainbow on the next line18:28
joschACTION gets a patch ready replacing unicode_start by unicorn_start in reform-tools18:28

minutehehe18:46
joschminute: so I now have a local branch with all the changes we talked about in the last few days ready. I'd also like to add the reform-check utility but i'd need your authoritative input on this question before i can do so: https://community.mnt.re/t/looking-for-testing-and-feedback-for-new-reform-check-utility/1341/1719:25
joschsheldonmanati19:31
minutenice. i have run it once a few days ago and it found a bunch of weirdness on my setup19:32
joschwhoops, copypaste fail19:33
vkoskivI purchased one of those oddly cheap HDMI capture sticks. Currently testing it by capturing Reform HDMI out19:53
vkoskivI hadn't seen the initial boot screen with the logo on the top left before. I think my physical monitors are too slow to catch that, they take too long to show the image when they get a signal19:53
vkoskivWhich baffles me. Why do modern monitors still take up to several seconds to display a signal??19:54
vkoskivThe HDMI output then went away until I was booted up and started sway.19:54

vkoskivReform can output 4K on HDMI, but this 4K capture card only shows max 1080p in OBS20:04
vkoskivOh well, par for the course for like 30 euro, I guess :D20:05
minutei have a camlink 4k for this purpose20:07
vkoskivYeah. I just wanted something cheap that works, since I don't need one that often. This one works fine for me.20:12
vkoskivAha, it's working as intended. It can *capture* 4K@30, but it can output max 108020:16
vkoskivAnd indeed I saw the Reform's 4K output just fine, only reduced to 108020:16
vkoskivSo it *technically* does what it says on the tin.20:17
vkoskivFor the price, this is fine.20:17
BoostisbetterI'm super looking forward to the Reform Camera. It will work on the Reform but also for my Librem 5, and that is saying something. 20:29

minuteBoostisbetter: doesn't the l5 have a built-in camera?21:36
minutevkoskiv: nice21:36
Boostisbetterminute: yeah but it barely works with anything. Despite their efforts. It works to take pictures, but getting it piped into other software is always a struggle. 21:36
minuteoh, i see21:37
minuteglad that i didn't take the direct CSI route.21:37
Boostisbetterminute: but don't think for a minute (no pun intended) that I'm not even more excited about the Pocket Reform. I really am looking forward to that. 21:37
minutehaha21:37
minutei just ordered new keyboard pcb samples for the pocket reform (some bugfixes and little changes around trackball button positions)21:37
Boostisbetterminute: also I hope I wasn't too pushy on Twitter about your account. I would have understood regardless of your decision. 21:37
minutealso, the aluminum case part samples are supposed to come tomorrow21:37
Boostisbetterminute: that is GREAT to hear!!!21:38
+ bkeys (~Thunderbi@157.201.98.1)21:40
Boostisbetterminute: does that mean that components are pretty much solid and set for production? Like the screen has been selected, etc.? 21:43
Boostisbetterminute: I think the Pocket Reform is going to be a wild success. I just see it being super useful. For commuting it is going to be super ideal. 21:44
Boostisbetterfolks, I'm having a brain fart, but how can I edit kernel parameters? 21:55
BoostisbetterI need to add a noacpi flag to it. 21:55
BoostisbetterI not the path the file I need to edit21:55

joschBoostisbetter: you mean you want to add the noacpi parameter as a linux boot option to the kernel cmdline?22:05
Boostisbetteryeah I figured it out, /etc/default/grub22:05
Boostisbetteryou don't need a comma to add additional things to the line22:05
Boostisbetterjust a space right? 22:05
BoostisbetterGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nvme.noacpi=1"22:05
Boostisbetterthat is correct right? 22:06
Boostisbetterand then what is the command I need to run to bind that? initramfs -all or something? 22:06
Boostisbetteror will that just take automatically when I reboot22:06
joschno, the file has nothing to do with the initramfs, the initramfs gets loaded by grub so it comes after that and doesn't contain grub options22:07
joschyou want to run update-grub22:07
joschand that command will then rewrite /boot/grub/grub.cfg22:07
Boostisbetterexcellent! Thank you Josch22:12
