joschgsora: i think quite a few people would disagree with you. :) You are aware about the controversies around the suitability of xz as a long term archival format? :)04:23
joschindeed in the past xz was blowing up with the -T0 option. I remember a testsuite of mine which, when executed on a 192 core arm64 ampere system, would routinely take down the whole VM stack as it was eating memory for breakfast on 192 xz threads -- apparantly that issue got fixed now04:26
joschthe practical problem with this is reproducibility. The xz file format differs depending on whether you build with or without multithreated compression and if there is not enough ram, xz might decide to only compress with a single thread in which case the output would look different compared to when it was done on a machine with more ram04:27
AbortRetryFailhehe, multithreated04:34
joschwhoops :)04:37
joschex-parrot, pandora: thanks to your motivation i finally managed to start fixing reform.d.n: https://salsa.debian.org/reform-team/orchestrator/-/commit/57cfd9eae81a964d7d6fc788092f00dd62dbc04e06:39
joschex-parrot: this should fix everything except debian-installer where i started to fix things in this commit: https://salsa.debian.org/reform-team/reform-debian-installer/-/commit/04a23072c85abc976b697831815d96404d95883d06:40
joschand the HTML pages still need to be fixed06:40

joschminute: reform-flash-uboot is broken on the pocket reform because in 2024-03-15 we decided to name the u-boot binaries not flash.bin but after their dtb basepath like meson-g12b-bananapi-cm4-mnt-pocket-reform-flash.bin07:37
joschminute: i'm going to fix the affected u-boot repos and create new tags to align everything with what we agreed upon back in march, okay?07:38

chartreu1eWell after way way too long ignoring it and not getting around to it, finally replaced the mosfet again (and coil to be safe) and really hoping it doesn't blow again and just works :/09:31
chartreu1eJust pulliong up the schematics again and looking for anything that would kill Q17 again before plugging it in, as I don't remember everything I checked last year09:31
* chartreu1e -> chartreuse09:33
chartreuseIt lives! I have no clue why it died last time (after the initial fault/repair) but it powered up for the first time in probably a year09:38
chartreuseI guess now I have to catch up with a lot of changes, and make sure my batteries are somewhat balanced09:39
joschchartreuse: congratulations!!! \o/10:13
joschchartreuse: will you start your system from scratch or try to upgrade your existing system?10:13
chartreuseI might try and upgrade it, though I'm not really sure how much has changed in the system image since then. Probably would be easiest to start again, though dunno10:16
joschchartreuse: if you can tell me the version of kernel and reform-tools then we can get an idea10:17
chartreuseI figure the majority of changes to the main image are related to the different cpu boards now available. 10:17
chartreuseWas just trying to find where I put the screws for the bottom case lid >_>, I'll just start it up to confirm then10:18
chartreuseAlright I'm on 6.1.0-reform2-arm64 (sounds like the stock one and not one of my custom ones I was tinkering with), reform tools is 1.20. And on System Image v3 2023-04-1910:20
joschchartreuse: from where do you get the system image version?10:21
joschchartreuse: what is your version of base-files?10:22
chartreuseThe system image version was shown in the motd after logging in on the console. base-files is 12.410:23
joschoooh? are you by any chance running debian bookworm from reform.debian.net?10:25
chartreuseI'm not, I don't think that existed when I did this. It was a fresh install of the v3 system image from sometime last year or two, after my v2 image was getting a bit dated and figured it'd be easier to do a full upgrade. It's that image copied to nvme and booting from nvme10:26
joschi see10:27
chartreuseI do have the relatively newer uboot stuff that can boot straight without the card inserted10:27
joschbut it looks like when you want to go the upgrade route instead of replacing your system, you have the choice of either keeping unstable or switching to debian bookworm10:27
chartreuseThe base-files might be newer as I was keeping it up to date with apt after the system image10:27
chartreuseAh we've settled on stable now? Yeah I'm still on a 12.4 unstable/sid10:28
joschchartreuse: no, debian bookworm is inofficial10:28
josch*unofficial10:28
joschi'm building all the reform stuff for bookworm and provide system images and an apt repo for it10:28
joschthe official MNT images and repo are still tracking unstable10:29
chartreuseMakes sense yeah, Going stable wouldn't be terrible though haven't had much bad luck with unstable so far. Especially with how bookworm-backports is being kept fairly up to date on a lot of packages10:29
chartreuseI'll give a apt update apt upgrade a try, worst case I just flash a new image. I already backed up the files back when I put it away10:32
chartreuseMight just start from scratch to clean things up a bit more, since I was messing with box86/64 stuff so it's a multiarch setup10:33
joschchartreuse: if you do that, would you mind trying out the system images i'm just building? :)10:35
chartreuseI could try them on the sd card if you want some quick tests. Or are you looking for more a long term testing thing?10:35
joschjust if things boot :)10:36
joschand i don't have an imx8mq anymore10:36
joschand we switched to the v15 cadence patch stack10:36
joschand i hope this didn't break anything10:36
chartreuseSure, the one from https://reform.debian.net/images/ or something newer?10:36
joschyes, the one that will fall out here in about 30-40 minutes: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-system-image/-/jobs/476810:37
joschthis is also with new u-boot binaries10:37
joschso just a "it boots" is already a win for me :)10:37
joschi can only test on a311d and ls1028a10:38
chartreuseAlright10:39
chartreuseHmm lost wifi after updating (ath9k card) and doesn't show up in lspci or dmesg, odd11:18
chartreuseAnd even modprobe ath9k isn't finding it... odd11:19
joschdo you have anything interesting in dmesg?11:19
chartreuseJust doing a cold boot again, but only thing that originally caught my eye was something about firmware for the imx dma controller not found falling back to device or such...11:21
chartreuseAnd huh a cold boot fixed it, must have been something with the reboot after updating11:21
joschinteresting -- there is a similar issue with a311d but there the wifi setup is completely different11:21
joschgreat, https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-system-image/-/jobs/4768 succeeded and now is only waiting to finish uploading the artifacts11:22
joschyou will be able to download system images in another ~10 minutes11:23
chartreuseYeah just saw that it was finally building after queueing for nearly 40 minutes11:24
joschi'm uploading stuff across the board for the past 8 hours or so :)11:24
joschi felt motivated to finally fix reform.d.n for the pocket11:25
chartreuseJust noticed that the runner is on Ampere, is it just for convienece that it's an Arm64 architecture?11:26
chartreuseAlright downloading the 8mq image11:33
chartreuseJust realized I have it flashed to emmc so I need to go and try and flick that switch again11:36
joschchartreuse: why?11:38
joschchartreuse: your u-boot on emmc will happily load the rest from sd-card11:38
chartreuseSo it boots from the nvme without needing the sd card present. So I can use the sdcard slot for camera cards and such without needing to keep the card with the laptop11:39
chartreuseOh okay11:39
chartreuseI thought you were wanting to test the uboot on the card11:39
joschif possible, yes11:39
joschbut i'll not ask you to remove your heatsink :)11:39
joschthat's too much effort :D11:39
chartreuseI just put it back on with fresh paste earlier, but I think I can reach that switch with a fine tool from the side11:40
joschyou really don't have to :)11:40
joschi'll be happy with testing everything above u-boot11:41
pandora@josch: it started to build the image11:49
pandoraBut then died after a few hours11:49
pandoraAnd killed waybar and vscode11:50
pandoraI guess it ran out of memory11:50
pandoraThe log with 83k lines seems too much for mister-muffin11:50
chartreuseIs there a way from the uboot console to boot the sdcard instead of nvme, or do I just have to use the tool from linux to set that11:51
chartreuseOh wait I guess it just booted it this time since it said starting mnt setup wizard11:52
chartreuseOh this is fancy11:52
chartreusejosch: I'd say that's working fine, booted to the install wizard, I was able to create the accounts and then log in. What's the TUI based login/destop manager that is being used?11:54
joschchartreuse: tuigreet11:55
joschhttps://github.com/apognu/tuigreet11:55
joschchartreuse: thanks a lot for testing!11:56
chartreuseLooking through dmesg I do get the simple-framebuffer cannot reserve video memory at... message but I think that comes up on the other image too. As well as imx-bus-devfreq 32700000.interconnect: Missing property fsl,ddrc, skip scaling DRAM12:00

chartreuseAlso mxsfb 30320000.lcd-controller: error -ENODEV: Cannot connect to bridge. And, [drm:drm_bridge_attach] *ERROR* failed to attach bridge /soc@0/bus@30800000/dsi@30a00000 to encoded None-31: -51712:02
chartreuseI think those are all common to other reform images though and the system seems to work fine12:02
joschin 2022, Lukas said to that message "ah, that's just noise"12:03
chartreuseFigured as much, just thought I'd mention the errors spotted in. the Simplefb one comes with a stack trace so it stands out, but I believe that's normal on the other image too12:04
chartreuseACTION commits some kind of sin by gaffer taping the bottom panel on until he finds the container with the screws in it12:21
joschi bought a box with 100 M2 screws in it as mine constantly got lost :D12:31
chartreuseAlright wifi broke again... I did have the sd card in the time it did work, but it definitly seemed to have booted the nvme root since it had the newer kernel... odd12:31
chartreuseYeah, just harder to get small metric hardware in Canada it seems. I do have some M2 but they're pan head rather than counter sunk12:31
joschah okay12:34
joschmaybe it makes you feel better to learn that even in metric europe, getting M2 screws is quite the pain :D12:34
joschtoo small for most places to have them, so you have to order them online...12:35
chartreuseIt's like getting #4 and smaller imperial screws. I do have a store where I can get #4 (slightly smaller than M3), but stuff like #3 to #1 are quite specialty12:36
gsorajosch: just backlogged the xz conversation. Just to double check, you think xz is not suitable for long term archival because of its instability (of the file format)?13:06

joschgsora: no, personally i think that the problems that do exist are too small to be relevant in practice14:21
joschex-parrot, pandora: reform.d.n status report: the repository is working again and linux 6.1 as well as 6.7 builds again: https://reform.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/linux/15:46
joschnext challenge is the system image because it requires the reform-setup-wizard, reform-qcacld2 and tuigreet to be uploaded to backports15:46
joschthe problem with tuigreet is, that it is a rust package and backporting rust can be challenging...15:47
joschthe problem with reform-setup-wizard is, that we still have autopkgtest failures on loong64, riscv64 and s390x which need to be looked at: https://ci.debian.net/packages/r/reform-setup-wizard/15:48

sknebelI feel like s390x would be a noticable expansion :P16:40
joschoh16:41
joschthat's what you mean16:41
joschthe reform-setup-wizard is not just useful for reform products16:42
joschit being in debian means that it can also be used by others who want a first-boot wizard16:42
joschand s390x is a debian release architecture16:42
