| josch | about making the package name versioned so that multiple different modules can be installed for the various installed kernel: in that case you need to move the files that are currently shared into another package because no two packages can claim the same file | 07:47 |

| josch | not knowing that it might still be needed, depending on what kernel the user is running | 13:07 |
| josch | so the next question then becomes: how does the kernel packages guard against that? | 13:09 |
| josch | the answer is a special snippet in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove which special-cases linux-image-* packages | 13:10 |

| josch | because you can install linux-config for each kernel version you have | 19:49 |
| minute | mhm | 19:49 |
| josch | that's why the kernel itself also has the version in the name | 19:50 |
| minute | aha | 19:50 |
| josch | for example over here i have a package named linux-image-6.5.0-0.deb12.4-reform2-arm64 | 19:50 |
| josch | with version 6.5.10-1~bpo12+1+reform20231224T144225Z1 | 19:50 |
| josch | as an aside: | 19:50 |
| minute | ok, one really has to have eagle eyes for this :3 | 19:50 |

| minute | yeah | 19:51 |
| josch | if you need the version of the currently running kernel you can do this: | 19:52 |
| josch | dpkg-query --show --showformat '${Version}' "linux-image-$(uname -r)" | 19:52 |
| minute | ok lets see if i understand correctly | 20:02 |

| minute | and its version is reform2-2+reform20240327T174618Z but it could maybe also just be a date/timestamp? | 20:03 |

| gustav28 | hi all! I'm curious about the mnt reform but as I'm not a linux user (macos here), I have some questions. the first one is, how easy is it migrate processor module while keeping ones system disk? say that I set up my OS on a m2 ssd, is it as easy as swapping the cpu board and using another boot-SD-card for the new cpu board? or will linux not start | 21:21 |
| gustav28 | up because it still have the old drivers installed? is there a document with steps one can follow to do the swap? | 21:21 |
| vkoskiv | I did that when I swapped from the original i.mx8 module to the A311D, and it mostly just works. I forgot if there's any docs about that process, I did write some of my observations on the forum. | 21:22 |
| gustav28 | cool. does that work because all drivers are already in the (previous) kernel? or does it download stuff automatically (I find that hard to believe)? | 21:25 |
| gustav28 | *previous=already installed kernel | 21:26 |
| gustav28 | another question: will OpenGL games work out-of-the-box on linux using OpenGL ES 3.1 drivers? or do the games need to be built for OpenGL ES 3.1 to work? I'm a hobbyist game developer and while I could switch to OpenGL ES it would be nice if I didn't have to do much to keep working | 21:28 |
| vkoskiv | In linux, drivers are either built into the kernel, or as loadable modules. I think the system image ships all the drivers for the different SoMs, so those should be okay. | 21:42 |
| vkoskiv | The only thing that requires attention is the bootloader configuration, since that differs between SoMs | 21:42 |
| gustav28 | and the bootloader config usually resides on the sd-card? | 21:45 |
| vkoskiv | Often, yes. On my i.mx8 I had it on the internal EMMC, and that might be possible with some of the other modules too, but on A311D the current recommendation is to stick to SD card for that. | 21:46 |
| vkoskiv | Since oopsies with the internal EMMC can soft-brick the SoM | 21:46 |
| vkoskiv | (requires an adapter board to fix, which I don't have) | 21:46 |
| gustav28 | aha | 22:03 |
| gustav28 | thanks for the info | 22:03 |
| gustav28 | regarding OpenGL, it seems like the drivers are both OpenGL and ES, as the website says "OpenGL/ES" | 22:07 |
| vkoskiv | Yeah, just quite old versions. | 22:08 |
| minute | on a311d with a flag you can get up to OpenGL 3.3 (but no geometry shaders) | 22:10 |
| gustav28 | nice | 22:12 |
| gustav28 | I gtg, but thanks for the insights! | 22:12 |

| minute | josch: ok, this is where it's at so far https://source.mnt.re/reform/qcacld2/-/merge_requests/1/diffs | 22:15 |
| minute | what is SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH? i vaguely remember it is about reproducible builds | 22:16 |
| josch | yes it is | 22:16 |
| josch | when you build the kernel multiple times with the same SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, you get bit-by-bit identical binaries | 22:16 |
| minute | josch: how could we integrate my qcacld2 binary deb building into reform-debian-packages? (i think it should be there because that's where the kernel is built + reprepro is done?) | 22:17 |
| josch | minute: instead of installing to /etc/modprobe.d, consider installing into /usr/lib/modprobe.d/ | 22:18 |
| minute | josch: ah ok | 22:18 |
| minute | josch: ah damn :D i always make the same mistake again | 22:18 |
| josch | minute: i see two ways: a) let the script which updates the repo on mntre.com download from reform-debian-packages as well as from qcacld2 ci jobs and combine them | 22:18 |
| minute | josch: would this mean running reprepro on the webserver instead of the CI? | 22:19 |
| josch | b) add another few lines to build_custom.sh in reform-debian-packages which either builds the package or downloads it from the other CI job | 22:19 |
| josch | minute: it would mean running it again on the webserver, yes | 22:19 |
| minute | ok. the thing is that the drivers have to be built exactly after reform-debian-packages is done with a new kernel package | 22:20 |
| josch | then maybe you want to move the build process into build_custom.sh in reform-debian-packages | 22:21 |
| minute | yeah, that would make the most sense, also i can probably access the kernel debs then from inside the pipeline? | 22:21 |
| josch | and then in .gitlam-ci.yml make sure that the build_custom job depends on the kernel build job as it requires its artifacts | 22:21 |
| josch | yes | 22:22 |
| josch | as artifacts | 22:22 |
| minute | ok, thanks | 22:22 |
| minute | josch: i have just rebuilt reform-firedecor on my pc against wayfire-dev 0.8.1-1 from debian, and it works fine with debian's wayfire, no "plugin abi mismatch" error | 22:52 |
| minute | so what is going wrong in the reform-debian-packages build | 22:53 |
| minute | josch: ah wait, we are shipping reform-firedecor that was upstreamed to debian by you, right | 22:54 |
| minute | so let me try that on my pc... | 22:55 |
| minute | perhaps the package needs to be rebuilt @ debian somehow? | 22:55 |
| josch | minute: can you show me how to reproduce the issue? can i do that with an sd-card image downloaded from ci? | 22:56 |
| minute | josch: ah, you're running stable on your reform, right? | 22:57 |
| josch | yes | 22:57 |
| minute | josch: you can then download a recent reform-system-image for a311d and try wayfire, the windows have no decorations. if you log the wayfire stderr+stdout manually (i.e. start it from tty1 or so instead of tuigreet), you'll see an error about plugin abi mismatch | 22:58 |
| minute | josch: my guess is that debian updated wayfire and wayfire-dev but that does not trigger a rebuild of reform-firedecor | 22:58 |
| josch | if reform-firedecor has to be rebuilt, then this means that the dependencies of reform-firedecor are too loose | 22:59 |
| josch | it also means that more automated tests have to be added to reform-firedecor to detect this in the future before it happens | 23:00 |
| minute | ok | 23:00 |
| josch | is there something like xephyr for wayland? | 23:00 |

| josch | okay, i'll see what i can find tomorrow | 23:01 |
| minute | > EE 04-04-24 23:02:51.717 - [src/core/plugin-loader.cpp:105] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wayfire/libfiredecor.so: API/ABI version mismatch: Wayfire is 20240311, plugin built with 20231123 | 23:03 |
| minute | i have reproduced it on my pc | 23:03 |
| minute | by just installing reform-firedecor from debian | 23:03 |
| minute | i would like to report this bug but i think reportbug isn't set up correctly on my system (no email from commandline configured) | 23:04 |
| minute | josch: as i'm under pressure to fix this, do you think it's realistic to have this package rebuilt (there are no code changes necessary) at debian relatively quickly? otherwise i have to reintegrate it in reform-debian-packages tomorrow | 23:05 |
| josch | okay, lets try | 23:06 |
| josch | minute: reform-firedecor_2023-10-23-4.dsc uploaded and will be in the archive in ~5 hour | 23:09 |
| minute | josch: awesome, thank you very much! | 23:10 |
| josch | minute: well, lets hope that this was the problem and not something else :) | 23:12 |
| minute | josch: i have high expectations because i cloned our firedecor repo, built against wayfire-dev from debian, installed it and it just worked. | 23:36 |
