rick_andreas-e oh, they supporty wayland now ^^00:10
andreas-eminute just told me today :)00:12
minutejosch: Esi: ohhh @ gnome-software-plugin-deb, lets ship that by default then00:19
amospallajosch: thank you, module seems to be loaded now, I can ask for battery status and host powers off. Display does not work at all since reform-tools 1.88 put the module on the initramfs (coincidence ?).00:20
joschminute: kernel 7.1.x with mnt-sc driver works for me on rk3588 pocket reform with disp v2 with barebox and u-boot for both MNT Debian unstable as well as Debian Trixie+Backports from reform.debian.net Thank you!00:21
amospallaDisplay stopped working for me once I upgraded reform-tools to 1.88 and rebooted. Tried reboot, power off/power on, physically turn off on. rk3588, barebox, display panel v1.00:24
joschamospalla: see above -- m.inute seems to be working on display v1 issues right now00:27
amospallaoh, didn't read that, thank you. I was about to post on forums, but not needed then.00:28

LNSYHello, is anyone up? I tried upgrading my mnt pocket reform firmware and now my pocket reform will not boot. Here is a detail: https://community.mnt.re/t/system-image-link-404s-and-a-bricked-mnt-pocket-reform/454002:20

minuteLNSY: hey! did you see this? https://community.mnt.re/t/important-note-about-the-new-mnt-pocket-reform-kernel-and-firmware-updates-20260806/453402:33
minuteLNSY: did you already try booting with an HDMI monitor connected?02:34
minuteLNSY: and here are system images from june https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-system-image/-/jobs/22099/artifacts/browse02:34
LNSYminute I have not tried to boot with an external HDMI, will try that next02:37
LNSYminute also: https://mntre.com/docs-pocket-reform.html is where the link to the gitlab links are02:38
- Gooberpatrol66 (QUIT: Ping timeout: 240 seconds) (~Gooberpat@user/gooberpatrol66)02:41
LNSYminute I did follow those instructions, and that's when the device stopped booting02:41
minuteLNSY: ah yes you're right, i need to update that releases page asap03:19
minuteLNSY: from your post it looks like both firmware updates didn't happen as both of those versions are older. both FWs should be at 20260808 by now03:20
minuteLNSY: if you manage to boot with a system image on sd card from my link, and go to gnome firmware or use fwupdmgr update, can you document what happens? i.e. any errors or other interesting feedback03:21
minuteLNSY: as you are still on old firmware, booting a june image from microSD shouldn't be a problem03:22

amospallaminute: there is no kernel update on Debian Trixie, I guess you refer to Sid.09:53
+ rodion_goritskov (~rodion_go@mail.goritskov.com)09:56
amospallaA new firmware appeared, applied it. It seems everything works except for video panel. (rk3588, barebox, panel v1, debian/stable/trixie).09:57
joschamospalla: kernel updates on reform.d.n are done by me, reform.d.n is *not* something receiving support from MNT10:07
amospallajosch: I see. minute pinged both me and you that is why I pinged him back. Later I've rechecked the chat and I saw he was talking about 7.1.7-1, which is probably coming to Sid, not to Trixie.10:09
joschamospalla: yes, but if you have display v1, then the fix is probably minute's latest commit with subject "pocket-panel: disable hw reset on display v1, fixes display v1 no longer working on rk3588"10:10
joschi just hacked that into the reform.d.n machinery10:10
joschi cannot do it properly right now10:10
amospallaI guess, I could try installing these manually on my Trixie to test.10:10
joschi'm leaving for a canoeing/camping trip now -- back tomorrow10:11
amospallaI'm not worried about my pocket, but more willingly to help. I'm at home and not needing it.10:11
joschamospalla: reform.d.n is running and the new kernel should be in the repos in ~6 hours if everything goes according to plan. If not, you have to wait until tomorrow when I'm back at my laptop.10:12
amospallaok, understood, thank you :)10:13
joschamospalla: if you want to join the reform.d.n team i'd be happy to collaborate. I can give you ssh access to the box building everything if you'd like to help maintaining it.10:13
amospallaI have no prior experience, what kind of tasks are involved?10:14
joschsorry, have to leave to catch the train now -- back tomorrow!10:16

lidstahhehe, just scored a gen10 HP server, 32 cores, 192GB RAM, 14x1TB SSDs, 2x10Gbps network, for free :'). dodged the rampocalypse on this one :D12:23
lidstahand ~70W less than the old chap' it gonna replace, nice12:29
lidstahthe old chap will go in a school lab'12:30
bremneris it loud?12:31
lidstahbremner: quite quiet (except at boot, of course), I'm a bit surprised as I thought it would have been noisier12:32
lidstahand almost brand new, as it was a spare that never saw prod' (got it from a client)12:35
bremneryeah, some are engineered for office use, others really not12:35
lidstahindeed - although I switched it back from performance to balanced mode in the iLO conf' as raw performance is not a priority here, might also help with the noise12:37
lidstahgonna send a champaign bottle to my client to thanks them.12:40

jfred192 GB of RAM! Pretty fancy for a homelab :D15:10
lidstahjfred: yeah, I also use my homelab for work (total amount of ram in the proxmox cluster is 580GB right now, but will be around 512GB once old chap' is retired) so I often need important amounts of memory, especially when I demo some planned infrastructure to clients, or when I test practice works for the engineering schools I also work for15:27
lidstahso it will be put to good use :)15:28
lidstahright now I'm emptying old chap - quite a number of VMs to move around, and some storage too.15:29
lidstahand old chap will be recycled as a backup server in one of said engineering schools (especially to backup exam works for the students there)15:30
lidstahso it will be put to good use and not thrown away while it's still useful15:31

siviqlidstah You got yourself little treasure right there. The decommissioned systems often are left in some corner or basement until sent for scrap. I used to be involved in our office labs setup, back then I helped create the fibre channel network (SAN). Turned out, we had received some already EOS hardware along with brand new systems. Everything17:16
siviqworked, but the interoperability was a nightmare. For educational purposes, old hardware is still good, in my opinion. No need to scrap it, while it still can be useful to students. I've also recently re-discovered my old Thinkpad T430, which I used for the labs configuration. :) Still works just fine.17:16

jfredI've got a pile of decommissioned machines from years ago, but I think they max out at around 36 GB of RAM or some such. They're, unfortunately, too power-hungry to make it worth running them at home17:46
jfredand they're... DDR3, I think17:46
siviqOne stick DDR3 will be perfect to upgrade my T430 from 8GB to 16GB RAM (sodimm of course). I should check the local used goods market.18:01
lidstahsiviq: hey :) how's life? and indeed reasonably old hardware can still be useful in a students' school lab :)18:06
lidstahgood ol' T430 (or x230 for the smaller version), still capable machines nowadays once you max out the RAM and put an SSD in it :)18:07
siviqlidstah been doing well, preparing for short vacation now. :) I have an SSD already, looking for RAM as we speak. Some 30 Euro in my region - Bulgaria. Used it to test few different Linux distros - ElementaryOS and Ubuntu. First one didn't work well and I switched to Ubuntu. Kind of planning to use the good old T430 as emulator machine for those18:10
siviqold Capcom cabinet games. Already tested mame with "Cadilacs & Dinosaurs" and it works well.18:10
siviqdid you expand you game list for MNT Reform?18:11

lidstahsiviq: I should update the reform gaming thread but I want to get to at least 65 or if possible 70 games in the list before updating/necrobumping the thread18:24
siviqlidstah nice :) Have fun gaming with your son. I'll contribute to the list of games when I can. Now I'm going back to work, till next time. :)18:33
