eeryI didn't mean box86/64 needed a chroot, just that I've had applications that only worked properly in a chroot, because of differences in newer glibc IIRC, but it depended on the exact application00:58
eeryuh, is there a way to load an alternate u-boot script file from the monitor?01:05
sevanis there a source command?01:10
eeryoh, yeah, right at the bottom of the help printout, oops01:13
eerythanks, hopefully I won't need it since I just figured out my first mistake and got the incantation to load a kernel and initramfs to work01:14
eeryI was trying to load the kernel, initrd, and dtd in that order, which won't work since booti requires the size of the ram disk, and the $filesize variable is set by the most recent load command...01:16

Booster[m]josch: I apologize if this is to public for a relatively private question but are you still in Würzburg? My brother used to live close by there and I have been there several times. Beautiful place. 07:55
Booster[m]josch: one other thing I wanted to ask you about is why suspend doesn't work for you on the Reform? Do you know why or is it still a mystery? 07:55
Booster[m]sevan: is there any chance you could make a post on the MNT forums detailing your Steam setup on the Reform? 07:59

joschBooster[m]: no worries, the information that i'm based in würzburg is quite public, i'd say https://www.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/robotics/team/schauer-marin-rodrigues/ yes, it's a nice place and me and my family will stay here for a few more years to come :)08:02
Booster[m]Excellent! Glad to have you with us here! 08:05
joschBooster[m]: about suspend: for me there are two problems. The first one is, that after resume, all SSDs I tried (from 3 different manufacturers) show me this error: https://community.mnt.re/t/standby-suspend-to-ram-mnt-reform/538/9908:11
joschOthers do not have this problem, so it's likely a problem with my SoM or the like08:11
joschThe other problem is a regression in the linux kernel that somebody has to bisect to figure out what introduced it.08:12
joschI think it used to work with 5.12 but doesn't anymore with 6.108:13
Booster[m]Ahh, as my system is stuck on 5.12 suspend has been working for me. So everyone using the current kernel has no suspend? 08:18
joschBooster[m]: do you and Boostisbetter happen to be the same person? :D08:23
BoostisbetterWhy yes we are. The bridge I was using through cheogram on xmpp has been temperamental lately and so I am using the matrix bridge to make sure I don't miss anything. 08:25
joschBoostisbetter: well, my information that suspend works in 5.12 comes entirely from you then :)08:25
Booster[m]I'm also 2disbetter on the MNT forums. 08:25
BoostisbetterOh. Hmm I had no idea that I was the only one with working suspend. 08:27
BoostisbetterGranted suspend in this case just means the systems consumed half the amount of power that it usually does. 08:28
BoostisbetterThis is good for me when I have the Reform out and about and need it to last me the day. 08:28

Boostisbetterjosch, impressive. I think it would be cool if the Reform was my only computer. Is it your only computer because you are super FLOSS oriented or because you can't justify another computer?17:50
joschBoostisbetter: i wouldn't know what to do with two computers. I don't want to switch between different devices to do all my daily things.17:59
joschMy old computer (thinkpad t440s) died so i got a new one: the reform17:59
Boostisbetterthat is great. I wish I had that kind of control. I probably have 8 laptops. 18:05
joschwell, i also lack the cash for 8 laptops :D18:05
pandora[m]Now I feel good with only 4 laptops18:09
BoostisbetterBut i would love to be able to drop down to one computer. 18:12
BoostisbetterI guess one thing is that it has taken about 20 years to get to this point. So I don't really have the money for 8 either. \18:12

Boostisbetterjosch, does the pocket reform appeal to you?18:13
jackhillI'm not sure how I feel about the ortholiniar keyboard as I've never used one (not that I have money for a pocket anyway, or know that I have a use for such a device)18:20
jackhillbut it is so cute!18:21
jackhillI would totally go for ranbow backlight on full-size reform.18:21
jackhillAlso cool that it comes in a color. Green's my favorite though18:22
Booster[m]I LOVE ortholinear keyboards, they are superior in many ways. 18:25
+ andreas-e (~Andreas@2001:861:c4:f2f0::c64)18:25
Booster[m]They take a short amount of time to acclimate to, but once you do, they are just so much easier for the fingers, because their placement is just more logical. 18:25
ZabaWell it ultimately depends on how deeply ingrained your typing habits are. Personally I find that the multilayeredness of most compact keyboards gives me way more trouble than the lack of row stagger, for example.18:31
Boostisbettercolumar orthlinear is the ultimate but ortho is great by itself as well. 18:32
ZabaLike the cognitive overhead from having to think of layers for keys that I could normally 'just type' is craaaazy high for me18:32
BoostisbetterIt depends on how many keys you have. a 60 or 40% is certianly a challenge with layers. But on something like the Moonlander, I have layers, but I don't need them for normal typing or programming. I just have layers for special things like, a mouse layer, or media controls, etc. 18:35
