vkoskivI find it amusing that the amiga floppy drive constantly clicks when it's seeing if a disk is inserted.00:12
vkoskivThere is an option to configure it to maybe not click, apparently.00:13
vkoskivWorks on some drives.00:13
vkoskivTrying to write an Amiga floppy with my kryoflux now. Finally got it to work. Turns out, I lack the required adapters to hook the thing up via rs23200:13
vkoskivHey, that worked! I just grabbed a random NEC floppy drive for writing, and the Amiga happily booted. Now I have Workbench 2.1, which apparently also supports reading PC disks00:17

joschhah! i finally managed to automate reform-setup-wizard in a headless sway without using any superuser priviliges for creating or running the chroot07:51
joschit's not via vncdotool because of bugs like this one: https://github.com/sibson/vncdotool/issues/26707:52
joschbut using a python vnc client: https://github.com/ORNL/pyvnc_client07:53
joschso this works in principle... now i have to decide for a good automatable vnc client library07:53
joschany recommendations?07:53
joschnothing seems to be packaged in debian unless i'm missing something and pyvnc_client can do clicks but is unable to take screenshots...07:54

joschminute: automated testing of reform-setup-wizard is going well! https://mister-muffin.de/p/0GKr.png14:20
minutejosch: great! :3 can it pull a picture out in case of test failure?14:23
joschminute: yes :)14:26
joschit saves a picture for every step14:26
joschnext step is to add something which does some basic pattern matching of pixel data so that the code can find the "next" button and figure out whether the action was successful itself14:27
minutesounds like you're having fun!14:53
joschminute: wait until i report the issues i found with reform-setup-wizard ;)15:01
minuteuh oh!15:02

minutevkoskiv: :D22:41
vkoskivhttps://www.ikod.se/rgb-to-vga/23:04
vkoskivBut then I see in many places they stick in a 74LS08N to do some kind of buffering23:04
vkoskivCan I not just wire it up like that and expect it to work, provided my monitor can handle 15kHz?23:05
minutevkoskiv: yep23:10
minutei've heard there's a bunch of monitors that can23:10
joschhehe, funny hack for the reform-setup-wizard: just pressing Tab repeatedly, lets one get to the end of the wizard without filling anything in :)23:11
minuteplomlompom: check what josch said here ^^ :D23:11
joschnooo! i need that feature!! ;)23:11
plomlompomIt's the secret cheat code to stay in full control of your machine.23:12
minuteahaha23:12
minutejosch: on the reform, in setup mode, you can press super+enter to get a shell 23:12
minutei mean, if you know what you're doing it's totally fine to circumvent the wizard23:12
joschplomlompom: also, please avoid writing in /etc with the wizard as that changes registered config files and that will show up with dpkg -- instead just adjust the files in the user's /home accordingly23:12
minutejosch: which files do you mean in /etc ?23:14
joschplomlompom: if you have git tagging powers, i'd also appreciate a new tag so that i'm testing the latest version instead of some old git snapshot :)23:14
minutesurely the hostname and console keyboard is a system wide setting23:14
josch/etc/skel/.config/wayfire.ini23:14
joschyes, those are fine23:15
joschbut hostname and console keyboard are not dpkg conf files23:15
joschthe files in /etc/skel are shipped by reform-tools and hence are23:15
minutejosch: ah. this was my flawed instruction to plomlompom then.23:16
plomlompomYes, I am only following orders *ducks away*23:17
joschthere is also another solution:23:17
plomlompomBut minute maybe we can discuss josch's suggestions next meeting!23:17
minuteplomlompom: no more meetings because of health risks!23:17
plomlompomminute: Ever°!23:17
joschlet reform-tools not ship files in /etc/skel but populate that directory tree by reform-system-image23:17
minutewait wait23:17
minuteit's fine to apply the settings to .config after creating the user in .config23:17
minutethat's actually what i intended, i just didn't think it through23:18
minutesorry, there was one too much .config up there23:18
joschyes, that would work nicely23:18
minutei now made plomlompom a maintainer of the repo so they can also create tags23:18
minuteand i added you as a developer josch so you could create a MR23:18
joschminute: seems i was already able to create MRs: https://source.mnt.re/reform/mnt-reform-setup-wizard/-/merge_requests :D23:19
minuteah well :D23:19
minutei shall go back to watching voyager :D23:19
joschwhich season are you at?23:19
minutei'm watching with a guide and now season 2 finale23:20
joschnice choice :)23:20
minutelooks like it's a double episode that leads into s3e123:20
joschfirst time i re-watched it, i only watched the 5 highest rated episodes per season23:21
minute(i mean together with s3e1)23:21
joscha few years later i re-wratched the whole thing XD23:21
minutejosch: ah yeah i use this https://www.letswatchstartrek.com/voy-episode-guide/23:21
minutehehe :D23:21
minutei watched a bunch of voyager first time when i was maybe 12 on VHS cassettes from the video rental store, german dubbed23:21
joschuh seems like a good list!23:22
minuteforgot most stuff though so it's very interesting to rewatch23:22
joschi learned that my memory of voyager seems to only have been seasons 6+ so seasons 1-2 felt very alien (no pun intended)23:22
minuteha :D23:22
joschin any case, i now re-implemented the parts of vncdotool which are needed to automate the wizard -- this was indeed a fun exercise :)23:23
joschthe vnc protocol is quite simple!23:24
minutenice23:24
joschjust surprised that the Debian archive doesn't seem to contain some software that is already able to do this... odd...23:24
minutesounds like you've made a useful testing tool23:24
joschor that automating wayland is so hard in the first place...23:24
joschi need this tool for Debian autopkgtests23:24
