bremneroptimal: how long has it been charging (red light on)?00:19
bremnerI had to wait 10 minutes or something to get the LCD display back00:19
bremnerin my case I just ran the batteries to zero, not sure if it's relevant00:20
optimalno clue but i'll plug it back in now and wait a while =)00:44
optimalalthough, shouldn't the system controller at least work off wall power, and bring up the menu on the OLED screen when i press Hyper+Enter?00:46
minuteoptimal: it happened to me recently but it recovered after 10 seconds because of watchdog timer. but maybe for you it's stuck i2c communication with the battery board. what should help is reconnecting the batteries01:08
minutei think that can happen when you turn off the switch at a very unlucky moment01:09
minutei guess i need to look into your watchdog MR soon ch01:09
minute(for the charger chip itself)01:09
chhm yeah. i kinda forgot about it already01:10

gsorais there a standard way to edit kernel parameters on the reform debian system?18:31
+ L29Ah (~L29Ah@wikipedia/L29Ah)18:33
joschgsora: depends how you boot -- are you booting via boot.scr or extlinux.conf?18:35
gsoragood question! no idea :^) i'm using the os that came with my reform originally18:35
joschgsora: if you didn't configure it otherwise, then the kernel parameters are set in your /boot/boot.scr18:36
joschgsora: that file is automatically generated by flash-kernel18:36
+ AnimaInvicta (~AnimaInvi@88-120-179-216.subs.proxad.net)18:36
joschand you cannot edit it manually because there is a checksum at the top which would become invalid if you try18:36
gsorayeah, i've had my fair share of fiddling with uboot.scr sadly18:36
gsoraso /etc/flash-kernel it is?18:37
joschgsora: but i tried to add helpful comments into that file which hopefully let you find out what to edit -- have a look at around line 4018:37
gsorahmm18:37
joschgsora: you found it?18:38
gsoraso i edit /etc/default/flash-kernel and then call flash-kernel?18:39
joschyes :)18:39
gsoraweird, i don't see my changes reflected in the new boot.src18:40
gsoras/src/scr/g18:40
gsoraalso, i'm still seeing blue log lines when I boot18:41
joschgsora: after editing /etc/default/flash-kernel you ran "sudo flash-kernel"?18:44
gsorayup18:44
joschmind sharing your /boot/boot.scr?18:44
joschand which option you wanted to put?18:44
joschand your /etc/default/flash-kernel18:44
joschin some pastebin18:45
gsorai wanted to add "quiet splash" to use with plymouth, and lower the log level because those blue lines are driving me crazy18:45
joschgsora: you read the post on the forum i wrote about that topic?18:46
gsoramust've lost it!18:46
gsoraok, so this should've already happened18:47
gsoraweird18:47
joschgsora: are you using tuigreet?18:47
gsoranope, gdm18:47
joschokay18:48
gsorai wonder if i'm just on an old system? but that would be weird, i'm usually pretty good with updates18:48
joschgsora: https://community.mnt.re/t/login-menu-appears-is-then-covered-by-errors/3492/318:48
joschgsora: if you fear you are on an "old system" run "sudo reform-check" to find things which are odd18:48
gsorahuh, /boot/flash.bin not present18:50
gsoraupdated the system fully, no dice18:54
joschgsora: can you show me the reform-check output and the files i asked for earlier?18:56
gsorasure, one sec18:56
gsorajosch: https://gist.github.com/geesawra/82c7daffc9530922833d4d3c3477ae0818:58
joschsorry, i'm back now19:07
joschi was writing down the second part of my hinge-adventure: https://community.mnt.re/t/unhinged-how-one-of-my-hinges-broke-and-how-i-repaired-it/3343/319:07
joschgsora: but you didn't edit /etc/default/flash-kernel did you?19:08
gsorai did, then edited it back to the default file when i noticed it did not make any difference19:09
joschah :)19:09
joschgsora: I assume it said:19:09
joschLINUX_KERNEL_CMDLINE="loglevel=3"19:09
gsoranope, it said nothing actually19:09
gsoralike, the file contained the two variables with empty strings 19:10
joschyes, and you replaced one empty string with loglevel=3, right?19:10
gsorahmm well when I started playin with this thing, LINUX_KERNEL_CMDLINE was the empty string19:11
gsorai can try adding loglevel=3 and see if it makes a difference19:11
joschgsora: you did something else?19:12
gsorawhat do you mean?19:12
joschgsora: can you please share your /etc/default/flash-kernel *before* you reverted your edits? :)19:12
gsorathose are my edits: https://gist.github.com/geesawra/5f3de08d12b77f2ffe7cd72ad9ea7eaa19:13
gsorabefore those edits, LINUX_KERNEL_CMDLINE was ""19:13
joschthat looks good19:14
joschnow you run "sudo flash-kernel"19:14
joschand then you look into /boot/boot.scr and it should contain the string "quiet splash"19:14
gsorai could also try adding loglevel?19:14
joschyes19:14
joschLINUX_KERNEL_CMDLINE="quiet splash loglevel=3"19:15
gsorabrb, testing this19:15
joschgsora: if, after running flash-kernel, that string did not show up19:15
joschthen please run flash-kernel under sh -x and post me the output somewhere19:15
joschnow dinner, back later :)19:15
gsoraok the parameters are now magiclly appearing!19:17
joschnice :)19:17
joschgood luck!19:17
gsorabut! /proc/cmdline doesn't agree: "ro no_console_suspend cryptomgr.notests clk_ignore_unused cma=256M swiotlb=65535 console=tty1"19:17
joschgsora: you rebooted, right?19:17
gsorayeah19:17
joschthen show me your /boot/boot.scr again please19:17
joschand can you confirm that /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf does *not* exist?19:18
gsorauh19:18
gsorawell19:18
gsorathat file exists, as well as /boot/boot.scr19:18
gsora:^)19:18
joschthen you *did* configure your system differently19:18
joschyou are using u-boot-menu19:18
joschany changes you make to /boot/boot.scr are without effect19:18
gsorai... don't recall doing any of that though?19:19
joschbecause u-boot will prefer extlinux.conf if it exists19:19
joschgsora: check your /var/log/apt/history.log19:19
joschgsora: it should contain the package u-boot-menu19:19
gsoraall I did was set up nvme root, now if that sets up extlinux i did not know19:19
joschit does not19:19
joschcan you grep /var/log/apt/history.log for u-boot-menu?19:19
joschor better:19:19
gsorano mention of u-boot-menu in history.log19:21
joschsudo zgrep -l u-boot-menu /var/log/apt/history.log.*.gz19:21
gsoraah, yes, will do19:21
joschanything?19:22
gsoranop19:22
joschthen check this:19:22
joschdpkg -l | grep u-boot-menu19:22
gsorafwiw i don't have any gzipped history.log19:22
joschwhat do you see?19:22
joschyou only have gzipped logs if history.log becomes too large19:22
gsorayeah19:22
joschdpkg -l | grep u-boot-menu19:22
gsorai see "ii  u-boot-menu 4.2.4 all u-boot menu update"19:23
joschhuh19:23
joschgsora: how new is your system?19:23
gsorait's the latest reform classic wave 19:23
joschah...19:24
joschso this is not an old setup?19:24
gsoradepends on your definition of old :^) it has 2-3 months now?19:24
joschoooooooh19:24
joschi see19:24
joschi thought you had your reform for much longer somehow19:25
gsoralolol i wish19:25
joschsince May, new system images ship with u-boot-menu by default19:25
joschand then you don't want to edit /etc/default/flash-kernel19:25
gsoraoh19:25
joschbut you want to edit /etc/u-boot-menu/conf.d/reform.conf19:25
gsorahm19:25
joschyou may want to add this:19:26
gsorasoooo is it normal not having that path on disk19:26
joschU_BOOT_PARAMETERS="ro no_console_suspend cryptomgr.notests \${bootargs} console=tty1 quiet splash loglevel=3"19:26
gsorafeeling like i'm living in a huge edge case 19:26
joschgsora: i've written about that here: https://community.mnt.re/t/login-menu-appears-is-then-covered-by-errors/3492/319:27
joschgsora: no, editing that file is normal19:27
joschgsora: that file overrides /usr/share/u-boot-menu/conf.d/reform.conf19:27
joschbut really, i need to leave19:27
joschi hope it works now19:28
gsorayeah, go19:28
joschfamily is waiting19:28
joschbye19:28
