Boostisbetterchartreuse: it was working since 5.12, just not reliably. Now though on 6.5 it seems to be working really well, and without any of the previous shenanigans to get it working necessary. 08:11

joschBoostisbetter: the question leaves open what "reliable" actually means. You could've asked: out of 10 suspends, the following number of resumes succeed a) 0 resumes (always fail) b) 1-9 resumes (sometimes fail) c) 10 resumes (never fail)10:20
joschor: when failing to resume from suspend with 6.5, the reason is a) nvme doesn't come back up b) display doesn't come back up c) ...10:21
BoostisbetterI guess I am hoping that people will expound on what it means for them. Kind of like how I mentioned how many times I have successfully resumed. 10:38

Boostisbetterminute: with suspend fixed in 6.5, it feels like the Reform is now perfectly running for me. I mean I loved it before, but now I really heart this thing. 15:21
Boostisbetterminute: I really can't wait for the Pocket. I have already so many use cases for it, and I almost feel bad for the Reform, as I'm going to be using the Pocket so much. 15:22

joschBoostisbetter: one downside is still that power usage is only halfed during suspend, no?16:19
joschBoostisbetter: if you tell me what to run to open gnome settings i can test this locally as well16:19
Boostisbetterjosch: all you do is type settings, and in the launcher it will show up as settings. 16:41
Boostisbetterjosch: yes,  power is halved, but when trying to conserve juice and the current desktop state this is a good thing. I'm sure with more tuning we could do things like disable power to ports, etc. 16:41
BoostisbetterBut for now this is already good enough for me. 16:42
minutegnome settings is "gnome-control-center"16:52
minute(no longer shipped with system v4)16:53
joschBoostisbetter: what shows up in "settings" in my launcher is the waydroid launcher which starts up successfully as expected: https://mister-muffin.de/p/DnvV.png16:54
Boostisbetterminute: this would explain why it no longer works. Is there a problem if I download it again? 17:07
Boostisbetterjosch: since when was waydroid included in the system image? 17:08
BoostisbetterThat is for running android in a VM? 17:08
minuteBoostisbetter: hmm, it's not gonna be removed if you have not installed v4 from scratch17:08
BoostisbetterKind of makes sense on the pocket, especially if the screen is touch enabled. 17:08
minutewaydroid is not shipped by default.17:09
minuteBoostisbetter: installing gnome-control-center should not be a problem.17:09
Boostisbetterminute: ahh, the issue is that gnome-control-center now recognizes that you are not trying to run it under Gnome and exits. 17:12
minuteBoostisbetter: ugh. what does it say?17:13
minuteBoostisbetter: which part of gnome-control-center do you need?17:13
Boostisbetterminute: Running gnome-control-center is only supported under GNOME and Unity, exiting17:14
Boostisbetterminute: none in particular, I just like using it for various things. I don't specifically need it. Just noticing that it is no longer working. 17:14
minuteok.17:14
minutein the v4 wayfire/sway desktops, i ship and autostart: nm-applet --indicator, blueman-applet (only relevant if you have bluetooth) and pasystray17:15
minutejosch: i was thinking that it might be nice to have a script to pull in the current config defaults from /etc/skel, but it would need to ask for confirmation for files to overwrite i think17:16
minutei mean /etc/skel/.config17:17
Boostisbetterminute: the wifi adapter that you sell with the Reform does not do bluetooth right?17:17
minuteBoostisbetter: correct. but the a311d module has bt/wifi on board17:17
Boostisbetterwhich is relevant to the Pocket as that is the default it comes with right?17:17
minutethe pocket comes with an imx8mplus module, but that also has bt/wifi included17:18
Boostisbetterminute: ahh ok, but we are still getting a PCIe exposed for NVME right? That NVME makes a huge difference. 17:19

joschBoostisbetter: try to run gnome-control-center with XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME in your environment19:52
joschthis should work if i read https://sources.debian.org/src/gnome-control-center/1:45.0-1/shell/main.c/?hl=81#L81 correctly19:52
joschminute: currently, the reform-check utility shows differences between the local /etc/skell and the one shipped by reform-tools.19:53
joschminute: do you think there is many people who'd like to throw away their custom sway or waybar config for the defaults?19:54
joschi cannot imagine an easy mechanism to auto-merge, respecting custom changes19:54

noamWhelp21:51
noamHypothetically21:51
noamIf the 5V line no longer turns on, and attempting to boot my Reform results in >15W of power consumption reported by the LPC, that's bad isn't it.21:51
abortretryfailcould be a short21:51
noamThe battery is fine21:51
noam0A of consumption if I shut it off, and it's been in this state for two days, so that's not a misreport either21:52
abortretryfailright, but if something is short-circuiting the 5v line, it will read close to 0v 21:52
noamI think there's a  - yeah21:52
noamEr21:52
abortretryfailwell, unless the regulator is smart enough to shut off or a fuse blows. I haven't studied the schematic that closely.21:52
noamI think there's a short by the 5V line which is why it burns through power when attempting to turn on, but is totally fine when it's off21:52
abortretryfailiirc there was a fuse on the DC jack and another on the battery +21:53
noamI have a multimeter on me, and a screwdriver, at least, so I might be able to trace the issue at least21:53
noam...with extreme caution21:53
abortretryfailshould be easy to find by temperature, tbh. Any little SMD part sinking 15W of power is going to get quite warm21:53
noamI'm fairly sure the root cause is that a one of the trackball screws popped out and smacked something while it was on.21:53
noamSo it's possible it _fried_ one of the wires, too.21:53
abortretryfailoof21:53
noamyeeeeep21:54
noamACTION grabs screwdriver21:54
abortretryfailACTION needs to remember to buy a tube of blue loctite for the reform's internal screws21:54
noamloctite?21:54
noamah21:54
abortretryfailIt's like a weak glue used to keep screw threads from working loose. 21:54
abortretryfailThere's a few types, the one you *don't* want is the kind that requires heat to break loose.21:55
noamI also wonder how much it'd cost to commission e.g. a local machining shop to cut up some aluminum to replace the acrylic on the outside21:55
abortretryfailBut then where would the wifi signals go to escape?21:55
noam?21:55
noamWhat wifi signals?21:56
abortretryfailyour reform has no wifi? 21:56
noamcorrect ;)21:56
abortretryfailby all means seal it up then. :)21:56
noamWait is _that_ why it uses acrylic on the sides and bottom??21:56
abortretryfailseems like one good reason, tbh.21:56
noamwould that actually _work_? /me is not a radio engineer :P21:56
abortretryfailI was toying with the idea of consulting with some nerds at the local amateur radio club to design a dual band slot antenna that could be cut into the metal of the display cover 21:57
abortretryfailprobably too fiddly to tune for it to be worthwhile for MNT to ship them like that, but for a one-off maybe...21:57
noamAlso: screws popping off is _probably_ a sign that I screwed up (heh) while building the Reform, isn't it.21:57
abortretryfaileh, i don't recall the instructions giving torque specs or saying to use loctite. I had the same thing happen but I was lucky enough to catch it before it shorted something out.21:58
noamI'm not really sure what to do here :/22:07
noam...oh. Actually. I just need to find a good picture of what it's _supposed_ to look like; one of the resistors looks melted.22:09
noamI _suspect_ it's not supposed to :P22:09
+ jacobk (~quassel@129.110.242.224)22:10
noamWhere can I find high-res pictures of the bottom? :P22:10
noamSchematic should work, actually, lemme just find that22:18
noamWhoa! > 40V MAX! +/- 15A MAX!22:22
noamThe power circuitry can handle 600W?!22:22
noamNow _that_'s impressive tolerances for a laptop lol22:22
noamLooking at the schematic, I don't think this is the issue :/22:36
noamfuuuuuuuudge.22:37
noamI guess now's the best time to learn how to fix this. Optimism!22:45

abortretryfailnoam: no, that's just maxiumums of either, not both at once lol23:03
abortretryfailThough, the Reform is a bit of a current fiend. Mine with a 20V USB-C trigger cable will handily put a 45W or 60W USB-PD charger into overload.23:05
noamAhh23:07
noamThat makes a tad more sense lol23:07
noamalso, hmmmm23:07
noamI'm going to have to go over the schematics, understand them, follow the path the power should be taking, _and_ have a steady enough hand to measure what's going on _while the thing is live_ for23:08
