chartreuseNow that's been a while07:17
chartreuseFinally got the protected battery boards, and a new set of soshine batteries, so hopefully no more dead batteries. Spent a few hours upgrading a quite out of date and partially broken install, but I think it's all good again07:20
chartreuseDid make the mistake of ordering the steel port covers but didn't notice that they'd changed and the default is for the USB-C cut out ones, so will need to file out the slot for the barrel07:21
chartreuseNot entirely sure why Firefox 140esr is absolutly chugging even on the preferences page. 115esr was running extremely smoothly before the upgrade. Likely some magic I was using to launch it correctly got lost in the upgrade. Will figure that out tomorrow though07:26
joschchartreuse: imx8mq? yes, firefox performance degraded for me as well :(07:29
chartreuseYeah still on the imx8mq. It's less than usable now. Like just scrolling about:support is laggy and glitchy07:34
chartreuseLike scrolling has a latency of 1-2s now, when it was near instant on 11507:35
chartreuseDid notice some EGL warnings starting from the console, I feel like maybe I had some kind of environment variable set up for firefox as part of forcing HW offloading, noticing a lot of the forced on preferences are getting blocklisted on failure code, like HW video decoding.07:37
chartreuseReally, I probably should just upgrade to the RK3588 but at the same time, the imx8mq shouldn't be this bad07:39
joschchartreuse: just to make sure, did you try with a fresh system image? I'm on my way to work so i currently cannot check on my own imx8mq08:38

elbI have the mediatek mt7612u B-key M.2 wireless card that comes with the RK3588 Pocket Reforms; reading the chipset info, it looks like it has bluetooth capability, but reading the documentation for various modules, some of them seem to and some of them don't21:25
elbif I stick an antenna on this second port, will it support BT?21:25
elbor should I wait for the next rev of the PR motherboard, then order one of those and the new headset adapter board ;-)21:25

jfredand it's very close but not close enough for cleaning up those old dtbs to get me there... "Warning: More space needed in /boot than available: 233 MB > 221 MB, installation may fail"22:20
joschminute: if you happen to have the mind for it, i'd be greatful for some input for how to best track down the ethernet problem on a311d from 6.17 to 6.18. I am having trouble with creating a minimal reproducer. I've built kernel 6.18 with a minimal build with "make localmodconfig" and as you can see here, i have ethernet just fine: https://mister-muffin.de/p/Hi3P.txt22:21
joschat the same time, i don't have usb mouse or keyboard -- do you or somebody else see something in dmesg with regards to that?22:21

joschjfred: my own initramfs is 38 MB -- you may want to have a look why yours is 167M22:23
jfredhmm, interesting22:23
joschjfred: i also wonder why your old dtb directories did not get cleaned up upon kernel removal22:25
jfrednvidia firmware, wut? O.o https://paste.sr.ht/~jfred/255f6cc4a14ee4dd31701991ef2bbdede3c4a94b22:28
joschjfred: you have firmware-nvidia-graphics installed?22:29
jfredseems so: firmware-nvidia-graphics/unstable 20260221-1 all [upgradable from: 20251111-1]22:29
jfredI wonder how that happened22:29
joschjfred: maybe /var/log/apt can help finding out why it got installed22:29
jfredah, it happened as a result of installling firmware-misc-nonfree which I did for... some reason (I think I was troubleshooting audio issues or some such)22:31
jfredwell, that's one big unnecessary thing to get rid of haha22:32
jfredthanks for the pointers, didn't realize my initramfs was substantially larger than it should have been ^^;22:32
minuteelb: nope, the mt7612u card doesn't have bt22:42
minute(writing this from my qcs8550 mnt reform next)22:43
minutejosch: do we have more than one person who has ethernet trouble on a311d now?22:43
minutejosch: as for USB, what's your lsusb output?22:43
joschminute: yes, at least ephase in the forum also has the same problem: https://community.mnt.re/t/a311d-ethernet-cannot-attach-to-phy-error-since-6-18-9-update/422022:48
joschi can reproduce it here "sometimes" -- what triggers it isn't clear yet22:48
josch(but i'm currently using 6.17 on a311d because that doesn't have the issue at all)22:49
joschi feared you might ask for lsusb output -- i'll have to reboot into the other system... sec...22:49
minutefeared :D22:55
minuteit sounds like missing usb hub reset maybe22:55
joschminute: https://mister-muffin.de/p/01JX.txt22:55
joschat the bottom both lsusb and lsusb -v22:56
minutejosch: ok none of the hubs are found22:56
joschminute: this is only with a311d patch stack. Does a311d need patches from imx8mq folder as well or something?22:56
josch(it shouldn't because 6.17 works fine with just a311d specific patches)22:57
minutejosch: btw, not the usb problem, but for the ethernet problem, we have this strange workaround, does that still execute?23:00
minutejosch: https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-tools/-/blob/main/bin/reform-hw-setup#L4323:01
joschminute: yes, i posted the output of what happens when i run that in a terminal manually yesterday23:01
minuteah, didn't see that23:01
joschone sec, let me find it for you23:01
joschhave to start firefox first -- takes a few minutes on a311d...23:01
minuteok we do have usb hub reset since a long time in uboot https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-a311d-uboot/-/blob/main/0001-usb-hub-reset.patch?ref_type=heads#L2123:02
minutemeson gpio naming is kafkaesque... so i don't know how to translate that into gpioinfo / gpioset23:03
minutejosch: could you give me the output of `sudo gpioinfo`?23:04
joschminute: re ethernet this is me running the commands from reform-hw-setup manually on the terminal and the resulting output from dmesg: https://mister-muffin.de/p/RAh4.txt23:07
minuteah, cannot attach to PHY23:09
minuteright23:09
minuteprobably reset not working23:09
minutei wonder if gpio behavior was changed23:09
minutein any case, i guess i'll need to repro it myself because i don't know how to figure out the gpio numbers in linux without the device here23:10
joschokay, then i hand the issue off to you?23:11
minuteunless you wanna poke gpios yourself?23:11
minutefor usb, i would toggle the usb hub reset23:11
minutefor ethernet, my guess is the solution could be similar to a fix i once did for rk358823:12
joschi fear i would be *much* less effective than you because i have no idea what i'm doing23:12
minutefor usb, in a311d i toggle the gpio periphs-banks73, but i don't know what that is with gpio tools in linux23:13
minuteok, i'll put it on my todo list23:13
joschthank you!23:13
minuteit's in my list, but could take a bit23:15
minutereally wish i could delegate stuff like this :D23:16
joschminute: i don't know how to poke gpios but i do know how to bisect -- would it help to see the commit which breaks things?23:17
joschminute: see, you shouldn't be doing gardening -- there are too few people who can do what you can do XD23:18
joschminute: here is the gpioinfo output for kernel 6.18: https://mister-muffin.de/p/sGHd.txt23:28
joschminute: for the fun of it i also looked at how the output looks like for 6.17 and there line 57 is output active-low consumer="reset"23:28
joschno idea why that is not the case for 6.18 and no idea whether this is relevant23:28
