hramrachjosch: I wonder about that. Are there reports of dpms causing lockups from anyone other than you?13:08
hramrachTwodisbetter: See https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-system-image/-/issues/29 for sway setup. Not sure if swayidle is using some standard interface that wayfire also provides or if this is the tyopical Wayland case of each compositor having its own square wheel because there is no standard for wheels13:10
joschhramrach: in the past, yes -- then we switched the default to using brightnessctl instead of dpms13:10
hramrachActually if it is a standard interface it might be worthwhile to use something other than swayidle in sway, the UX is atrocious13:11
joschhramrach: but as i said in the gitlab issue, these are not lockups anymore13:11
joschso maybe the original thing is gone13:11
joschor not applicable on a311d13:11
hramrachjosch: you said you saw one, in the very issue13:11
joschdidn't i later correct that?13:12
joschsec...13:12
joschhramrach: ah you mean the thing from months ago?13:13
joschhramrach: have you tried this configuration on the pocket? what is your test result?13:14
hramrachMy test result is that dpms works flawlessly with the internal display and imx8mp, as said in the issue13:14
hramrachI sway, did not set it up for linux console13:15
- andypiper (QUIT: Ping timeout: 276 seconds) (~andypiper@89.36.117.58)13:15
joschhramrach: you said that a month ago, so i guess there have been no problems for you since then?13:15
hramrachno, no problems that I could attribute to DPMS. I had the keyboard lock up once, and the system shut down a few times, and some swaylock miscnfiguration that caused the sway session becoming defunct.13:16
joschmaybe somebody else here with a classic reform could try out this swayidle config13:17
* Scario -> Sario13:17
joschmaybe it's only me13:17
joschor maybe it's only on debian bookworm13:17

hramrachI guess it lost a level of quating somewhere but you get the idea13:19
hramrachswayidle -w timeout 600 'swaylock -f -c 000000' timeout 600 'swaymsg "output * dpms off"' resume 'swaymsg "output * dpms on"' before-sleep 'swaylock -f -c 000000'13:19
joschor copy it from the issue: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-system-image/-/issues/29#note_1046613:19
hramrachI wanted to paste what I am actually running, in case it's not exactly the same13:21
joschlet me also write a mail to a debian colleague who has an imx8mq classic reform -- maybe they'd like to test this...13:22
Twodisbetterthat is how you implement that in Sway, but not how you would implement in Wayfire13:42
TwodisbetterThat is what I am after, how to get that functioning in Wayfire. For now I have screen time out and dpms working, but it doesn't activate swaylock when doing so. 13:42
+ chomwitt (~chomwitt@ppp-94-67-132-66.home.otenet.gr)13:59
hramrachI don't understand what the wayfire idle plugin does. It advises to use swayidle fpr something but what does the idle plugin itself do???14:05
+ andypiper (~andypiper@89.36.117.58)14:06
hramrachit appears that like Xorg wayfire has an internal feature for managing dpms which is set up with idle.dpms_timeout, and as such does not need swayidle14:08
TwodisbetterUnder [idle] in my wayfire.ini file I have the following:14:24
Twodisbetter[idle]14:24
Twodisbetterscreensaver_timeout = 10014:24
Twodisbetterdpms_timeout = 12014:24
Twodisbetterthis makes the screen time out after 1 and a halfish, then 20 seconds after that the display is turned off. This has worked well enough so far. 14:24
TwodisbetterI am curious how I can add the swaylock commands in there such that it will work. 14:25

+ CandidCadaver (~aloo_shu@90.166.98.89)14:33
TwodisbetterI got it working with suspend. You just do the systemctl suspend ; swaylock and it will worok14:48
hramrachIt looks like wayfire does not support that, you need to disable the wayfire idle settings, and start wayidle14:50
hramrachThe Wayland way of every compisitor making its own square wheel because no standard for wheels ...14:51
hramrachOr you could use wayfire to manage dpms, and swayidle to manage locking, possibly getting them out of synch because the semantic disffers subtly in some edge cases14:52

staticbunnyi totally borked my 3588 lol17:36
minutestaticbunny: how?17:36
staticbunnyinstalled some packages that killed the window managers17:37
minuteok, so it's not the rk3588 that is killed17:44
staticbunnynah just me being stupid17:45
staticbunnykilled my install rather, not the SoM17:45
staticbunnymy LCD isnt looking great though17:45
staticbunnywould someone need to create a connector board for an OLED upgrade?17:46
minutenot sure what you mean exactly17:47
staticbunnyif you wanted to switch to a OLED? its not just a driver change right?17:48
staticbunnyyou would need to have addtional hardware17:48
staticbunnymy LCD is already getting light spots17:49
hramrachit depends on the OLED. Also which mainboard17:49
staticbunnyreform pocket17:49
hramrachSomebody suggested light spots can be cleared by displaying slideshow of the basic colors, YMMV17:49
staticbunnyoh interesting ok17:50
hramrachPocket is mipi, that's extra challenging to interface. 17:50
hramrachbut also even just finding the screen of right size is not so easy, disregarding the interface17:51
- Gooberpatrol66 (QUIT: Ping timeout: 252 seconds) (~Gooberpat@user/gooberpatrol66)17:52
hramrachthis is some tablet, screen they are not standardized in any way, the sizes are quite random17:53
hramrachmost likley you would have to find a screen that is close, and get a different display frame, and whatever internal mounting17:53
- andypiper (QUIT: Quit: My device has gone to sleep. Zzzz…) (~andypiper@89.36.117.58)18:11
hramrachLooking at aliexpress there is one listing of 7" OLED screen https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006902819623.html. That means that either it's a very special item, or the listing is bogus. There might be other 'hidden' listing that do not put the keywords in the product name. The size is not the same, it may not be possible to fit at all. The interface is vaguely correct but may still need an18:24
hramrachadapter. It willl need device tree change, and possible a panel-specific kernel driver. Backlight power may be different At least the display that is listed seems to actually exist https://www.panoxdisplay.com/amoled/7incholed.html Looking at this it is clear why Pocket has so much space on the sides of the display - the interface cable has to fit there.18:24
- chomwitt (QUIT: Ping timeout: 252 seconds) (~chomwitt@ppp-94-67-132-66.home.otenet.gr)18:25
hramrachright, it does not have backlight because it's OLED, and has different number of pins on the cable18:29

gustav28minute: my keyboard4 has started showing strange colors on the backlight for some reason. noticed it today for the first time. it's like every other letter is a different color, Q is pink, W is purple and E is a bit more clear pink. when shifting the hue, different keys flash in different but similar colors. this is not how it behaved previously.20:39
gustav28any idea of what it can be?20:39
minutegustav28: hmm, haven't seen this yet. sounds like an issue with data transmission into the LED chain. is this the stock firmware?20:41
gustav28no it has my changes in https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform/-/merge_requests/7320:42
gustav28I can try reflashing20:42
minutegustav28: yeah just to make sure it's not the FW20:42
minutestaticbunny: you'll certainly need a custom hardware adapter (flex PCB) to swap in another display, and some knowledge of how MIPI-DSI works and how to modify drivers20:43
gustav28minute: unfortunately flashing the same modified fw or the one from the master branch fixed the issue :/ I will send you video in a mastodon dm20:46
minutegustav28: why unfortunately?20:46
minutegustav28: hmm maybe the LED under the 6 key is slightly bad, it looks like it starts there20:47
gustav28oh, did not fix the issue*20:48
minutegustav28: you can send the kb in and we can look into it/solder a new led in20:49
gustav28sounds good, I'll send an email to support?20:50
gustav28the 6 key is almost always showing white now that I look at it20:51
minutegustav28: yeah perhaps a problem between 5 and 6 or 6 has soldering issue21:07
minutegustav28: yes, support will handle it21:07
minutegustav28: sorry for that! hasn't happened here yet21:07
hramrachThr rk3588 supports eDP but not sure that interface is available on the SoM. It sounds like it would be much easier to connect a display if this eDP were available21:36
hramrachgiven that dislplay in big reform uses hdmi to edp adapter it's unlikely the some makes edp available21:42

grimmwareminute: did you see the Steam Deck OLED screen retrofit on crowdsupply btw? Apparently requires a custom bios too and is a different aspect ratio. I'd be interested to get your take on it.22:28
