joschminute: your conclusion to run update-initramfs in mkimage.sh is correct but this only needs to happen for ls1028a, no? But why did you replace running flash-kernel with update-initramfs? I'm surprised this works because update-initramfs does not run flash-kernel or does it?04:19

vkoskivminute: re: cryptomgr disable, that worked, it now suspends and comes back up, but the sleepy nvme issue is still there. I'll do some digging to see if I can find a workaround09:39
vkoskivI initially missed the fact that the cryptomgr issue was the thing that prevented suspend, I thought it was just a separate issue09:39
vkoskivAdding that to the kernel cmdline resolves it, seemingly.09:40
Boostisbetterminute: so far very good performance on 6.5.0.1. I have been kind of doing things that I've observed to improve standby performance. Like only suspending and resuming while on AC power. But I brought the Reform to work with me today, and I am using it in now in the car, and it resumed without any problems. Very awesome. 10:04

Boostisbetterjust resumed again today while at work. Worked like a charm. Really cool that iteration of the kernel are naturally fixing the issue. Good thing the imx8 is such a popular soc around Linux. 12:35
Boostisbetterbatteries running lower than I thought they would. I guess the lifepo batteries I have in here are a bit old at this point and they are not holding their charge or can't hold as much as they used to. 12:37

Boostisbetterall the cells show good voltages. So I think it is just a result of age and decreased capacity. 14:40
BoostisbetterI got back before it cut out though. Was at 12% but that was from being taken off the charger at 7 this morning, and getting home at 2 pm. Where as normally on the original 1800 maH batteries I could go all the way to 5 pm and still have about 25% left. 14:44
BoostisbetterThis is always with about an hour or 2 of usage during the day. 14:44
abortretryfailWas that 12% from the OLED or via some battery app like the one in Waybar? It seems some of those apps try to do their own math and get it way wrong, overestimating the % remaining.14:48
abortretryfailYou can see what I mean even if the OLED says ???%, do cat /sys/class/power_supply/8xlifepo4/capacity and compare it to the app14:49

Boostisbetterif the LPC is reporting that I have a cell at 4V, is this cause for alarm?22:16
BoostisbetterWell I mean it says that while on the charger, but when I unplug that one goes down to 3.4V22:17
BoostisbetterSo I wonder if it is just a fluke, because I but new batteries in. 22:17
BoostisbetterALso just to recap the LPC wont know what the charge is until you run the batteries down right?22:17
