<lanefu>
start with creating issues for your commits in that list
<IgorPec>
fixed headers is important, perhaps USB3 fix on rockchip, enabled MiQi ... the rest can stay as is
<lanefu>
i may be a bit confused
<IgorPec>
i mean we don't need to record everything
<lanefu>
Ahh good point
<IgorPec>
in this release doc
<IgorPec>
add those three and case closed. probably some of those are already in the jira
<lanefu>
okay you do teh MiQi one and i'll do the other 2
<IgorPec>
ok
<tonymac32>
Igor has the HW down. ;-) I'm using an i7-3770 (OC'd 4.1 GHz all cores), 16 GiB RAM and 256 GB nvme with no graphics card (integrated gfx, but I SSH into it from my gaming machine)
<IgorPec>
my gear works very nice .. when it works :)
<tonymac32>
I was working 12 hours/day for the last 14 for the day job. :-/, now I'm trying to catch up here
<IgorPec>
i will need to cook my own kernel and use clean Debian userland
<IgorPec>
OMG :)
* tonymac32
wonders if anyone here knows how to make their own kernel
<tonymac32>
:-D
<lanefu>
lol
<lanefu>
tonymac32: man you make me feel super lazy
<tonymac32>
I'm trying to clean up my router closet, It is, well, embarrassing, and I have a new cluster to install
<tonymac32>
lanefu I slept until 11:00 yesterday, so...
Strykar has quit [Quit: /quit]
<lanefu>
i think you'll have to sleep in more than once to make up for that
<IgorPec>
sleeping is nice. i had a nap two hours ago for two hour :)
<tonymac32>
haha
<IgorPec>
its a release day, one has to be ready
mpmc has joined #armbian
<tonymac32>
yeah
<lanefu>
IgorPec: okay release notes updated
* tonymac32
notes that, as per usual, upstream RK3288 was the easiest thing he had to deal with this round
Strykar has joined #armbian
<tonymac32>
If only a solidly built FriendlyARM or Libre board had been an RK3288 board... That thing rips and is overclockable
<lanefu>
if only librecomputer would make stuff again
<lanefu>
okay I'll make an "Areas of Improvement" section in our realease process doc
<lanefu>
as for as releasing.. I'll add a friendly paragaph at top of release notes and publish on github
<lanefu>
then i guess you can twitter when the images are up
<lanefu>
are there any particular enhancements or fixes that you're extra happy about? worth highlighting?
<IgorPec>
improved release cycle
<lanefu>
haha yeah the theme of this release is just.. 'doing a release'
<tonymac32>
lanefu libre slowed down, but to my knowledge they are still working on things.
<lanefu>
yeah pretty silent.. i wonder if the guy that made the images is gone
<IgorPec>
lanefu: let me do some more thinking
<IgorPec>
summing lots of stuff into few words is hard
<lanefu>
indeed.. take your time
<tonymac32>
no, but my impression is similar to Armbian: only so many people to cover all the bases, and I think the Firefly relationship didn't go as well as hoped
<lanefu>
ohhh
<lanefu>
tonymac32: yeah i saw there was some drama there.. I didn't really understand how close they were
<tonymac32>
the Renegade and renegade elite are both Firefly engineering
<lanefu>
right.. and then there was some kid from firefly that really hated them that was posting in the dev forum
<lanefu>
wrote an ranting opus that we didnt respond to :P
<tonymac32>
I like the "La Frite" board, especially the bootloader bits, and the fact it has a "front" and "back", unlike standard Pi format
<lanefu>
yeah is la frite available post-kickstarter
<lanefu>
that where they went for u-boot uefi?
<tonymac32>
I think so, it loads up Armbian images with no issues, and has a nice boot menu to go with it and a built-in OS you can launch.
<tonymac32>
there's some issue here and there, for example it thinks it can do 4k sometimes (it isn't supposed to)
<tonymac32>
sometimes it *does* 4k, but it's not reliable
<tonymac32>
it's an S905x with some features turned off
<lanefu>
haha
<lanefu>
man.. 4k is hard
<lanefu>
so hard
<tonymac32>
Look at an H3, then an H2+
<tonymac32>
it's about the same feature set difference
<IgorPec>
"Armbian 20.02 Improved stability, many new features, new boards. Check out release details." ? ;)
<tonymac32>
+1
<lanefu>
yeah works for me
<lanefu>
just wondering if there's any noteworthy things i should highlight in the release details
<IgorPec>
it depends from the aspect and area
<IgorPec>
some fixes are important for build process, some only for rockchip 3399
<IgorPec>
"Armbian is better than ever!"
<lanefu>
okay. lots of RK3399 fixes including prelimary OPI4 support
<IgorPec>
but this is / should be in the release document. How to zip this and set out in a twitter lenght? :)
<lanefu>
yeah. okay let me put a little something in the relase document, then i'll give you something for twitter
<lanefu>
i think i need coffee
<IgorPec>
yeah, get on. we are still hours away
<lanefu>
IgorPec: I asked my buddy who travels to eastern europe and russia frequently about Slovenia... he said "It's a beautiful Mediterranean country with mountains and a favorable exchange rate."
<IgorPec>
haha, true. you should all come here to a vacations :)
<lanefu>
i just have to learn how to take vacations now
<tonymac32>
1st annual Armbian convention :)
<tonymac32>
and yeah
<lanefu>
that would be really cool
<lanefu>
i mean it would probably just be 4 guys in a bar
<IgorPec>
HerculeP: thanks for helping us find a nasty bug :)
* lanefu
claps for HerculeP
<HerculeP>
hehe, np, got two oroidC2 waiting for decent images ;)
<lanefu>
HerculeP: what image do you need?
<splosh2>
fwiw, 5.5 doesn't seem to fix the kernel panics :(
<HerculeP>
any debian or ubuntu based /w desktop (preferable MATE)
<lanefu>
k i'll kick off a build on my machine shortly
<HerculeP>
cool
<lanefu>
official armbian desktop is XFCE.. you have to do mate by hand afterwards
<HerculeP>
np
<lanefu>
(i do need to make a mate script -- use it too)
<HerculeP>
xfce is ok too
<HerculeP>
btw, on my dell 4k monitor the default resolution is so small that I hardly can read it, is there a config setting to force 1920x1068 or whatever on 1st boot?
<HerculeP>
resolution=high ->characters =small*
<lanefu>
easiest is probably to ssh into it and then modify /boot/boot.ini (if it uses boot.ini)
<tonymac32>
I have heartbeat, waiting
<HerculeP>
didnt know about boot.ini, will try
<lanefu>
man i've had such a pain with 4k... i'm using an active HDMI -> display port adapter thats supposed to do all the right stuff. but i can't do 2160p@30hz
<lanefu>
I'm stress testing rock64 with fresh v20.02 image.. trucking along
<tonymac32>
ok, my HDMI cable is worn out, I'll have to get another, I had to jiggle it to get my screen to come up
<lanefu>
lol man
<tonymac32>
probably not rated for 5000 plug cycles
<tonymac32>
serial is not giving any boot status until login, I'll poke at that later, not critical
<tonymac32>
...did we add the lima work-around to Meson64?
<lanefu>
Tonymac32: u-boot serial is weird its 1500000 baud
<IgorPec>
tonymac32: not sure
<lanefu>
seriously
<tonymac32>
serial is 1500000 for rockchip, not for amlogic
<tonymac32>
I'm not gettting desktop
<HerculeP>
a typo probably
<tonymac32>
betting it's lima
<HerculeP>
115000 is common
<HerculeP>
IIRC
<tonymac32>
right, Rockchip is 1.5 Mbps
<tonymac32>
115200
<tonymac32>
is common
<lanefu>
Tonymac32: my bad i thought you were on a rock for some reason
<HerculeP>
yeah long log that I used it
<IgorPec>
tonymac32: board boots up but desktop fails?
<tonymac32>
on amlogic I get u-boot, then silence, then login prompt
<lanefu>
so anything on the bottom left besides (10)
<archetech>
c10
<lanefu>
do you have a non c10?
<archetech>
I have a onn 16 and a 32G A1
<lanefu>
and you tried the A1?
<archetech>
no just the one
<lanefu>
I'm sure you know where this conversation is going
<archetech>
yeah I even if some cards work its still not correct fix swapping brands is a band aid
<lanefu>
its a good bandaid
<lanefu>
archetech: also fail on the emmc.. turns out libre computer's emmc chips are way different
<archetech>
right theirs soem varience that needs the uboot adjusted
<archetech>
or dtb
<lanefu>
no i mean physically different
<lanefu>
no fit
<archetech>
overlay gah who knows all this arm boot garbage im not liking its complexity
<lanefu>
ha thats why i like it i think
<lanefu>
remember the early days of linux
<lanefu>
and like just making it work was a huge part of linux
<lanefu>
that same thrill lives on with SBCs
<fysa>
slack with linux 1.2.6 was never this painful :)
* archetech
chuckles
<lanefu>
lol
<lanefu>
i tihnk i started on kernel 1.8
<archetech>
I watched arch-arm irc for 3 yrs thought it was safe to buy a 64 bit sbc I was wrong
<lanefu>
cuz soon after i had gotten into linux, ip masq came out and that was a big deal so i built a box... which was kernel 2.0
<fysa>
I setup linux on an 'old PC" (386 maybe ..) because ISA modem cards were cheap and Zorro modem cards for the Amiga were expensive as hell
<lanefu>
its safe. just not safe to buy just one
<fysa>
so I setup a null-modem network between the two .. so people could call into my BBS, they would hit the linux login and "bbs" would bring them to C-Net on the Amiga. :)
<lanefu>
haha thats awesome
<fysa>
or they could login as a linux user and get SLIP/PPPD for 14.4k internet :)
<lanefu>
i ran a bbs but it was on wildcat 4.x
<lanefu>
so not as dope
<fysa>
right around the same time
<fysa>
I remember wildcat
<archetech>
I used gopher on local univ net 14.4
<fysa>
nice
<IgorPec>
slack started with .9 kernel
<fysa>
I had a dedicated 28.8k line to the ISP
<fysa>
and resold 6x 14.4k lines for access ;)
<lanefu>
haha
<fysa>
and a usenet autodownloader would run when nobody was on
<lanefu>
yeah i bought a 850 meg hardrive frmo a gopher site
<fysa>
Micropolis
<HerculeP>
lanefu: img booted, ssh via eth successfull, still no desktop :( -just a blinking cursor in the top left screen corner
<fysa>
anyway, sorry for the offtopic
<lanefu>
HerculeP: scroll up and do the fix that Igor had tony do earlier
<IgorPec>
lanefu: that fix should be implemented in the trunk
<HerculeP>
oh, missed that one
<lanefu>
IgorPec: yeah.. but you told me not to cherry-pick it :)
<IgorPec>
ahaa :(
<IgorPec>
i must look into the wrong commit then
<IgorPec>
sry
NeuroScr has joined #armbian
<HerculeP>
hmm, what file must be edited, I only found some "unset..." (cryptic to me)
