murmr____Hi, I tried following the steps for uboot + OBSD, but I can't get to step 4 (black screen on boot, OBSD + DTB file on SD, flash.bin on eMMC). Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? I can still boot from another SD card.01:21

joschHi, I need some help with figuring out a problem I'm having with my reform for the past couple of weeks. Since suspend doesn't work for me, I have my reform on 24/7. Sometimes (maybe twice per week? i didn't properly document this yet but not reliably reproducible) I would come back to my reform in the morning and its display would be off (no surprise because I have swayidle set to run "output * dpms 07:02
joschoff") but even when moving the mouse it would not come back on. So is this just a failure of the display being off but the rest being alright? I don't think so, because:07:02
josch 1) the system is not reachable via ssh and not pingable07:02
josch 2) the oled screen shows the system as "On" but when i disconnect the power cord it shows a draw of 0.25A which doesn't make any sense because if i switch my display off manually the power draw is 0.20A -- so something else is happening or stuck?07:04
josch 3) i have some hotkeys configured to run swaymsg "output * dpms on" but pressing them does nothing07:05
joschsince the problem is unreproducible and since the reform is my main machine, i didn't yet test whether the problem can be reproduced with a vanilla rescue system from sd-card07:06
joschdid anybody ever see this kind of issue? any tips in how to debug it?07:06

violetjosch: so i dont have a reform but i can give some general tips I would take11:08
violetthe best option is if you have some way to attach to the serial console (a usb to serial adapter or raspberry pi will do), see https://mntre.com/reform2/handbook/advanced.html which mentions SER1 on the motherboard11:09
violetfrom there, you want to configure your install to send dmesg output to that serial console if it is not already configured that way (this is set via `console=ttyWHATEVER,115200` as a kernel boot arg)11:10
violetand then if a kernel error happens you'll have the best chance of actually seeing it because there's no network connection or disk between you and the kernel log, its just direct out from kernel to the serial, which usually lasts long enough to get some information before a panic11:11
violet(if it is indeed a kernel panic)11:11
joschi considered to send dmesg output to another machine via network but indeed sending it over serial should be more reliable11:11
joschthat's a good idea, thank you!11:11
violetsure thing!11:12

joschflowy: you can try out ffmpeg with v4l2 request+drmprime patches by adding this to your /etc/apt/sources.list:12:32
joschdeb [trusted=yes] https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-debian-packages/-/jobs/1126/artifacts/raw/repo reform main12:33
joschh264 hardware decoding works (with only very few artifacts) in mpv by running it with -vo=dmabuf-wayland --hwdec=drm12:33
joschh265 is still completely broken (just errors out)12:34
joschand mpv does not draw its gui overlay with -vo=dmabuf-wayland12:34
joschso software decoding with mpv is still superior12:34
joschbut if you want to try yourself, you now have a repo with the patched packages in it :)12:34

minutejosch: is the backlight still on?13:57
joschminute: nope13:57
joschthe backlight was switched off by my swayidle command and nothing switched it on again13:58
minutejosch: ok, would you be ok to disable the dpms thing for a while and just turn the brightness down to 0 when you don't use the device? this way we could narrow it down to dpms13:59
joschsure thing!13:59
joschbut if it was just about dpms, then i would still be able to reach the unit via ssh even if the display doesn't come on again13:59
minuteyeah, i mean there could be a kernel lockup in there related to dpms functionality14:00
minutesomething power mgmt related perhaps14:00
minutebut yeah, externally monitoring your dmesg is also a good idea, to see if something suspicious happens14:00
minutethat said, i do have encountered 2 or 3 system lockups that are GPU or OOM related, but then the display is not off14:01
minutebtw my work PC behaves like your reform... every day14:01
joschfor me this also only ever happened at night so far14:01
minutei come to the office and it is locked up and i have to hard reset it14:01
joschnever happened while i was actively working with it14:01
minuteevery morning basically14:01
joschat least for you it's reproducible XD14:01
minutelol yeah14:02

sigridthis happens to my ryzen laptop if I put it to sleep16:48
sigriddid not happen before linux 6.x :(16:48
minuteha. maybe a linux 6.x problem after all16:57
flowyguess i'm lucky. i've had my reform lock up maybe once every six months. i regularly have uptime for weeks, until a moment of forgetfulness where i let the battery drain17:00
flowycurrent uptime of 5 days with 6.1.0-reform2-arm64, not sure how long i've been running 6.x17:01
flowyi never use suspend, i always just put the display brightness down when i leave the machine17:01
sigrideh, why not blank it altogether?17:03
sigridmine blanks in 5 minutes17:04
flowyno reason! the brightness hotkeys were mapped with the reform sysimage, i don't think swayidle or some key to turn off the display came with17:05
flowyjust anecdata17:06

joschflowy: so you use "brightnessctl set 0" and not "swaymsg output * dpms off"?19:30
joschsigrid: which method of "blanking" the screen did you mean in your method?19:30
josch*in your message19:30
sigrid"echo blanktime 5 > /dev/mousectl" :)19:31
sigridguess it's not very helpful, because it's 9front19:32
joschah :)19:41
joschand if this is a linux bug then obviously you don't see it XD19:41
minutewe have a reform here that is up for 27 days and runs linux 6.0.019:46
joschi'd suspect 6.1 because i had 6.0 running in december and didn't have the problem back then19:47
joschi still have a 6.0 kernel installed that i can switch to using the u-boot boot menu now -- i can try running 6.0 for a while as well and see what happens :)19:48

joschflowy: you mean mod+f1 and mod+f2?21:38
sigridspeaking of which, with the latest kbd fw hyper+f1 and hyper+f2 give proper brightness down/up events out of the box21:41
sigridin addition to the rest of media keys, that is21:41
joschi'm still at a loss what i want to use the hyper key for... the super and ctrl keys already give me three different actions per F-key -- i haven't found myself needing more than that yet21:44
minutein the future, hyper+cursors will do home/end/pgup/pgdn, for example22:12
minuteand on pocket there are no f-keys, so hyper+numbers = f-keys22:12
