| josch | i don't think fwupd updates u-boot yet | 03:05 |
| vagrantc_ | that would be mildly terrifying :) | 03:06 |

| josch | minute: i'm wondering the same thing -- would you like me to flash the latest lpc firmware and install the updated lpc-dkms driver or should i be doing something else? | 09:25 |
| minute | josch: keyboard fw is not yet prepared for fwupd. only sysctl | 09:36 |
| minute | josch: if you could enable the testing remote in fwupdmgr on your pocket and refresh and see if you get an update in gnome-firmware, that would be great! | 09:37 |
| josch | minute: sorry, i was talking about classic reform above because gsora and some forum user have problems with that | 09:51 |

| josch | neither is installed by default | 10:02 |

| josch | minute: also, my pocket is happily running off the bigger cells, nothing exploded yet :) | 10:09 |
| minute | josch: ah, sysctl is completely absent, that's very odd | 10:16 |
| minute | josch: very very nice @ big cells, i wonder how many hours you can get | 10:17 |
| minute | josch: can you give lsusb output? | 10:17 |
| minute | josch: ah, did you put back both jumpers near the internal usb-c? but they should be in the position facing away from usb-c | 10:18 |
| josch | minute: i'm finishing a rather lengthy forum post about my past four days of battery runtime experiments. Once I'm done, I'll test the runtime with the new cells and compare against the old values. | 10:18 |
| minute | josch: cool! | 10:18 |

| gsora | ah, .config/wofi.css has background color settings commented! | 12:28 |
| josch | grimmware: i think i remember that it was a bad thing if the cells in the pocket are out-of-sync and that the built-in charging has a hard time syncing them up | 12:28 |
| grimmware | oh they seem to be balanced at 3.6 each now on charging... | 12:29 |
| grimmware | hmm | 12:29 |
| grimmware | I might take them out and charge them externally when I get home | 12:29 |
| grimmware | no harm in a little maintenance once in a while | 12:29 |
| bremner | I have seen the display transiently change from balanced to unbbalanced and back. Not sure what that means, I assumed a software issue rather than actual unbalance | 12:30 |
| grimmware | difficult to say, the charging board for the pocket has seen a few failures | 12:30 |
| josch | bremner, gsora: re app launcher: the recent reform-tools ships a bunch of different defaults in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/20_reform.gschema.override and what might've caused this regression for you is the change of org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme from Adwaita-dark to Adwaita but with color-scheme = 'prefer-dark' | 12:32 |
| bremner | I wonder if a simple session restart would help | 12:32 |
| josch | bremner: there are issues with the battery percentage reporting in the pocket firmware and minute is working on a fix (i'm trying it out right now) | 12:32 |
| bremner | cool | 12:32 |
| josch | bremner, gsora: re app launcher: can you try running gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Adwaita-dark' | 12:35 |
| josch | that should restore your previous setting | 12:35 |

| gsora | hoping in a new firmware and lpc driver release soon | 12:44 |
| grimmware | would negotiate ~26ishW from my battery pack before dropping to something like 7W and not charging | 12:44 |
| grimmware | then when I started playing around with putting it on other chargers the system had a brownout | 12:45 |
| grimmware | reset of the sysctl seems to have helped | 12:45 |
| grimmware | I think the new SPI stuff should help with more reliable reporting and negotiation but the brownouts I don't know, I would imagine it might be a precondition of the hardware failures :/ | 12:46 |

| grimmware | frickler: nice, thank you. I think it’s the battery pack to be honest, I think it needs running down because it reports being near full but I suspect it’s done a slow drain and the firmware’s a bit shitty at tracking that so it’s actually putting out comparatively low voltage after a short amount of time | 13:19 |

| gsora | surely it's great to have 0 performance hit on the thing | 16:13 |

| d_m_ | 9hey folks, just got an mnt reform and notice that sometimes the screen has thin horizontal bars that flash on and off while the screen is updating. they are often white but sometimes other colors. | 19:06 |
| d_m_ | my first thought is that maybe the display cable is pinched, so i'm going to take a look. but figured i should post here in case someone has a different idea. | 19:06 |
| + aakast (~aakast@87-49-45-32-mobile.dk.customer.tdc.net) | 19:11 | |
| gsora | does this happens when you move the screen on the hinge? | 19:11 |
| d_m_ | it happens when the screen is in a fixed position. i haven't observed it while moving. | 19:12 |
| d_m_ | i just checked the display cable and it isn't pinched now but does look slightly flattened. so still unclear. | 19:13 |
| aakast | A bit curious, but what was the design choice, given the design principle, to choose soldered switches and not hotswaps? Hoping anyone has a great answer here. | 19:13 |
| d_m_ | i'll power it back on and try moving the hinges, that's a good suggestion. | 19:13 |
| gsora | interesting, d_m_, you might have the same issue i'm having | 19:13 |
| gsora | minute: maybe bad display batch? | 19:13 |
| josch | or damage during shipment? i think the units are tested before getting shipped from berlin | 19:14 |
| gsora | or that yeah | 19:15 |
| d_m_ | maybe so. in my case it's somewhat subtle, wasn't immediately obvious with a full screen black terminal emulator. | 19:15 |

| sigrid | I am trying to go with rk3588 install on the classic reform and I now realize it seems to be impossible because the lcd panel cable is too short | 20:15 |
| sigrid | I can't imagine how I would be able to fit the hdmi adapter physically without breaking that cable | 20:15 |
| sigrid | is it possible I missed something? | 20:16 |
| minute | sigrid: we have a cable version that is a bit longer than before, i also thought we'd shipped that, meh ;/ another option is to go with dsi->edp (you just need to remove one resistor on the motherboard to make it work) | 20:21 |
| minute | anyway i got to run, will look here again tomorrow | 20:21 |
| sigrid | :( I'll need a more up to date guide on how to do it then | 20:28 |
| kfx | sigrid: I had to take my lid apart and carefully reinstall that cable, minimizing wasted turn radius etc, and I was able to just barely get it to fit | 21:05 |
| kfx | but I am looking forward to switching to dsi for this reason, it's tiiiight | 21:06 |
| sigrid | yeah, I am not going to try out and find out :D | 21:14 |
| sigrid | for now I installed imx8mq back, maybe until tomorrow. gotta find where I put my soldering station | 21:15 |
| d_m | i wonder if my issue could also be cable-related. i have an rk3588 but i didn't install the cable myself. | 21:15 |

| gsora | has anybody ever modded their reform2 keyboard? like adding foam inserts and the likes | 22:04 |

| josch | gsora: modded how? I replaced more than 30 keycaps with custom made ones -- does that count? | 22:24 |
| gsora | kinda! :^) modded to change the sound profile, make it a little more… thocky | 22:26 |
| gsora | considering the very hollow chassis of a reform2 vs a standalone keyboard, that would be impossible, but I figured I could ask if someone tried already | 22:27 |
| gsora | usually people add foam inserts to change sound and feel at some extent | 22:27 |
| josch | i found that the sound profile already changes considerably (for the better) when using the anti flex bars | 22:28 |
| kfx | I want them anti-flex bars... once the new motherboard is available I'll order both | 22:28 |
| gsora | anti flex bars for the switches or the entire keyboard? | 22:28 |
| gsora | ooo one can lube low profile switches | 22:31 |
| kfx | for the keyboard | 22:31 |
| antti | anti-flex bars ? what is this? | 22:43 |
| kfx | bars that install beneath the keyboard to reinforce the pcb | 22:44 |
| kfx | so if you're a Heavy Typer the keyboard flexes less | 22:44 |
| josch | it also sounds less hollow | 22:44 |
| antti | wow that is interesting | 22:44 |
| kfx | behold: https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-reform-anti-flexing-bars | 22:44 |
| josch | it gives the keyboard some support by the motherboard pressing against it from the bottom | 22:44 |
| josch | yes, you can also download the STL from there and print it yourself or file a piece of wood into the right size | 22:45 |
| josch | or put a piece of cardboard | 22:45 |
| antti | I'm using twosabrent nvme metalic cases to level up the keybord . haha I should use somthing better. haha | 22:46 |
| antti | I have KSW-BROWN switches. I don't like it that much becasue there are times when I press a key but there is no output -_- . I don't know if I would have the same issue with kaih choc white (clicky) ( I didn't see it in mnt store alone though ) | 22:55 |
