joguantti: I've been working on one but haven't tested it yet since my 3d printer hasn't arrived yet16:30
anttihey jogu thanks for the reply. that is great news. are you going to post it in the forum or here in this chat? 16:32
anttiI didn't start with 3d printers yet I was really hesitant about the materials and costs and now with all the bambu new bs I don't know if I want to get into it but I think I need to start playing with 3d design though. which software are you using? I don't want to go to off topic here :( 16:33
joguI can make a post on the forum once I test it but might be a while since the printer is on back order haha16:34
anttiyeah no problem. I have the 4.0 keyboard for a few months I can wait . can you tag me in this channel when you have it please?16:35

joguYeah, I've been eyeing 3d printers for years but never found one that really checked all the boxes for me until the Core One L came out16:36
joguSure! let me put a memo down somewhere so I don't forget16:36
anttiperfect  jogu .I'm using a tiny metal boxes under the keyboard in order to rise it up a little bit - a proper stand will be a gamer changer. 16:38
joguIt really is! I had a first prototype I made a few months back but it only used one screw and wasn't very reliable and I think might have weakened one of the screws on my housing a little16:41

lidstahreading the backlog, nice work minute, josch and bob234 with openbsd :D18:26
lidstah"fun" fact: having a fan blowing air on the mnt reform's screen reduce the glitches amount downstairs here (temp: 29°C, upstairs, temp in my office is 36°C so, whatever the fan's there blowing it's still hot air). so it really does seem temp related18:29
minutelidstah: interesting, i need to reproduce this soon and see if it can be mitigated somehow18:29
lidstahand no glitches at engineering school #1 with working climatisers (not sure if it is the right word in english) and room temp 22°C18:30
joschlidstah: nono i did nothing with openbsd :D18:30
lidstah:)18:31
joschbut i really enjoy seeing that it's booting -- more OS diversity is great!18:31
joschso if somebody sends me reform-tools patches for openbsd... ;)18:31
lidstahhehe - will try to spend some time with jca@openbsd.org during the holidays, rn he's the french central mountains at Miod Vallat's house, probably poking around with old sun servers and PPC machines from the previous century xD18:34
lidstahlucky guy :')18:34
vkoskivIs there a known fix for libboost failing to upgrade?18:35
vkoskivdpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libboost1.90-dev_1.90.0-6_arm64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/include/boost/accumulators/accumulators.hpp', which is also in package libboost1.74-dev:arm64 (1.74.0+ds1-23+b1)18:35
vkoskivapt tells me to do --fix-broken, but that just yields the same error again.18:35
joschvkoskiv: remove libboost1.74-dev18:36
vkoskivTried that now, it wants me to run 'apt --fix-broken install' first18:37
joschvkoskiv: then you use "dpkg -r" instead to avoid apt18:37
joschvkoskiv: the problem is, that libboost1.74-dev is so old, it's from Debian oldstable18:37
joschand you are *not* supposed to upgrade from stable to stable+2 but only from one stable to the next18:37
joschso it is not supported to mix packages from release X and release X+218:38
joschif you are using Debian unstable then it's the user's job to clean this kind of stuff up manually18:38
vkoskivAh, yeah, my installation is in a weird state because I've been treating it basically like an Arch rolling release kinda thing18:38
joschyou can do that but you will not have any of the usual guarantees18:39
vkoskivFair enough. dpkg -r yields the same dependency problems as apt. Mostly libboost-*1.74 depending on libboost1.74-dev18:39
vkoskivI'll remove those as well then18:39
chi guess helmut might be interested in that conflict and to file a bug18:39
joschch: it's from oldstable though18:39
chyeah but i think he files bugs for these cross-release conflicts18:39
joschand a conflict does not help existing users18:39
chat least it will fail before installing?18:40
joschright i mean it doesn't help vkoskiv now because the package is already about to be unpacked :)18:40
vkoskivOh, it won't take a wildcard for those packages.18:40
vkoskivI'll do a bit of expansion18:40
joschvkoskiv: which package on your system still requires libboost-*1.74??18:41
chyeah thats true18:41
vkoskivI've no idea18:41
joschvkoskiv: dpkg will tell you when you try to dpkg -r it18:41
vkoskivAbout a dozen or so packages all named libboost-*thing*1.74-dev18:42
joschvkoskiv: nuke them18:42
vkoskivSo like libboost-thread1.l74-dev, for example.18:42
joschvkoskiv: dpkg -r them all18:42
lidstahminute: just thought about this, but when I'll get the replacment screen, would you want me to send you back my glitchy screen so you can have a look at it?18:43
lidstahI might add one or two french culinary specialties in the package, too :)18:45
vkoskivLooks happy, running the fix-broken thing from apt now.18:46
vkoskivI've been spending a lot of time at home on my desktop, but I have a job interview tomorrow and they told me to bring a laptop with my preferred text editor and a C compiler :]18:47
vkoskivStill boots to v6.17 kernel, even though it installed 7.0.7 earlier and now 7.0.9. My brain has erased the incantations for specifying which kernel to boot with u-boot19:11
vkoskivAh, it was booting off the SD-card I had plugged in. But the new kernels were on eMMC. Running 7.0.9 now!19:18

Ar|stote|isI have set up my reform to boot from sd to an encrypted nvme drive. if i remove both drive and the sd card it doesn;t boot at all. I want to put anew nvme in the drive and boot from the emmc to try and read from it. but then i want to change back to how it is right now, boot from sd the encrypted nvme i already have19:50

Ar|stote|isi tried setting up emmc as boot device and also the rootfs but this resulted in no system booting at all. when i inserted the sd it booted normally21:07
Ar|stote|ishey Lucie did reform nexts ship? i want to check it out21:08
Ar|stote|isnvm I checked the news post on the site21:10
minuteyep, just confirmed, a311d system image's uboot is broken josch21:10
Ar|stote|isis there a utility to set up a bare system on emmc and set the bootloader there to boot it up? i want to use my reform to browse a nvme i have in order to back it up but right now my reform is configured to boot from sd to an encrypted nvme.21:11
minutejosch: image from this pipeline https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-system-image/-/jobs/2027621:14
minuteAr|stote|is: just flash another sd card or usb stick with the stock image from https://mnt.re/system-image and boot that? 21:15
minutejosch: i fixed the system image locally by downloading https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-a311d-uboot/-/jobs/19495/artifacts/raw/meson-g12b-bananapi-cm4-mnt-pocket-reform-flash.bin   and flashing it on top of the sd card with "sudo dd if=meson-g12b-bananapi-cm4-mnt-pocket-reform-flash.bin of=/dev/sdb conv=fsync,notrunc bs=512 skip=1 seek=1"21:20

minutebtw radxa cm5 almost boots with our normal rk3588 image... just hangs probably because the rk3588s2 is missing some things that the kernel wants to poke at22:18
+ stephano (~stephano@71.238.14.13)22:35
stephanominute: The flickering wasn't the hardware, it was an issue with the latest upstream Mesa. I was able to stop the flickering with PAN_MESA_DEBUG=noafbc sway.22:36
stephanojosch: you may remember this one: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=109903222:37
minutestephano: woah what22:38
stephanoI do not think Debian will ever see this issue because of the revert of e0f48568c7f2a638213dee317fde03c23775556f in mesa. Any distro using upstream mesa (aka Arch) will see the issue get much worse with mesa 26.1.1.22:39
stephanoon the a311d22:39
minutemeanwhile: DTC     arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3588s-mnt-pocket-reform.dtb22:39
stephanominute: The Mali-G52 GPU in the advertises compressed AFBC framebuffer formats to the compositor, but the display controller can't actually display them directly, so the GPU has to silently decompress every frame before it hits the screen generating constant buffer allocation churn that the kernel's memory reclaimer struggles to keep up with. Mesa 26.1.1 made this worse by advertising even more AFBC variants and fixing an unrelated22:42
stephano reference-counting bug that now correctly frees those buffers, pushing the system past the point where the flickering becomes visible.22:42
stephanoThat's also why I saw the flickering under heavy load, but not if I was just running foot.22:45
minuteuff22:45
stephanoIt was fun to debug. I didn't know much about mesa a couple days ago. :-D22:45
