nekomancer[m]: how did you get 5.8.9 to check out
<lanefu>
whwere is there a branch or tag iwth it
ChriChri_ has joined #armbian
ChriChri has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
ChriChri_ is now known as ChriChri
<rneese_>
well I am still reviewing the basic ubuntudde iso to see at they install on a basic install
<rneese_>
it might fix all the issues
<nekomancer[m]>
lanefu: KERNELBRANCH='tag:v5.8.9' in lib.config
xecuter has quit [Quit: God Nite]
<nekomancer[m]>
I build no-desktop image, it boots on pbp. then I install desktop via armbian-cobfig and got auto-login xfce desktop. There are firefox, I enter youtube, see video, but no sound.
<nekomancer[m]>
and no brightness or sound regulated via Fn key
<nekomancer[m]>
now I comment out KERNELBRANCH and do build with desktop=yes
<rneese_>
i think the new desktop should be the dde
<rneese_>
once we figure out the correct install
<nekomancer[m]>
everyone prefer own desktop
* nekomancer[m]
prfers cinnamon or kde
<rneese_>
xfce is just gettingold and outdated
<rneese_>
have you looked at the new dde / deepin desktop ?
<rneese_>
there is work also to allow you to select what desktop to install in the build src
<rneese_>
so far its rnome3 xfce and kde
<rneese_>
and I am working to get dde into it also
<rneese_>
and I think they will add lxde also
<nekomancer[m]>
I think desktop env is not a task for armbian
<nekomancer[m]>
It's for DE developers, and for ubuntu-debian packagers
<rneese_>
there is a group working on it now,,, not much more you can do to the base install other then updating the device tree's for each board
<rneese_>
a;ll the work IgorPec has put in to build the build system is great
<rneese_>
but he even says the desktop section has needed work
<rneese_>
building each desktop to work correctly is a big thing
archetech has joined #armbian
<lanefu>
nekomancer[m]: yeah that made a bad checkout for me
<nekomancer[m]>
I did successful build with main armbian repo. now I running build with your branch
<nekomancer[m]>
seems DDE for people who things gnome and ubuntu default desktops are too complicated
<rneese_>
dde is a clean start for desktop and it uses qt so its going to grow . but I am working to get the install on arm working ,, seems some pkgs have not been ported to arm64 yet so we will see
<lanefu>
rneese_: you'll be a hero
<nekomancer[m]>
rneese_: you are the men!
<rneese_>
I was looking at the manjaro build but its been added alot of stuff
<rneese_>
I have it working
<rneese_>
but 1 issue still stands the logout/ppower off/suspend/shutdown function is not working other wise its good to go as a desktop
<lanefu>
rneese_: could be worse... what device are you testing on
<rneese_>
nanopct4 4 gig
<rneese_>
with a 128 gig nvme ssd
<rneese_>
its what I am on right now
<rneese_>
fine tuning
<rneese_>
but I have to dl and revie the iso fron ubuntu as a base install
<rneese_>
to see what I missed
<rneese_>
afteer my manjaro dde usb drive is done updating
<rneese_>
I do kinda wish we had a arm64 build of arch/manjaro linux
<rneese_>
for the boards
<rneese_>
I like it but as for now ubuntu on the arm64 units seems to be the bst
<rneese_>
armbian fits it well
<nekomancer[m]>
will desktop work subjective faster with nvme in comparison with emmc? not sure. Maybe, nvme for current arm performance — better only for IO benchmarks?
<rneese_>
the nvme is faster performance but emmc should work fine . just limited space on the unit I have
<rneese_>
its only a 16g emmc on the board
<lanefu>
okay my branch should build if you pull master on top of it, and add EXTRAWIFI=no
<rneese_>
well as this is my firt test runn I am fixing as I go and once I get it right I will post
<rneese_>
and get it into the github for a test build
epsilonKNOT has joined #armbian
<rneese_>
ok I fixed the issue with the login and ou t
<rneese_>
apt install dde-session-ui
<rneese_>
fixed it
<rneese_>
so now the login and out and reboot works
<rneese_>
so thats the fix they changed a pkg
<rneese_>
so I can now setup the basic gui and get a build on ssd tomorrow
<rneese_>
then we know it will work
<rneese_>
brbreboot
rneese_ has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
rneese has joined #armbian
<rneese>
it worked
ed_peguillan has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<rneese>
so tomorrow I will boot a fresh sd and run a test build
archetech has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!]
<rneese>
IgorPec, its fixed and working
<rneese>
the login /out works
<rneese>
next is to make it work with nodm wich i know is the default
<lanefu>
bwaaah my desktop switch is connecting at 100mbit again :-||||||
<rneese>
man updating this manjaro on usb3 usb drive is slow but its getting alot of pkgs
<lanefu>
ha
<lanefu>
i'm dding from NFS to usb3, but stupid 100mbit kiling me
<rneese>
like almost 1900 updates
<lanefu>
yoinks
<lanefu>
thats a lot
<rneese>
hoping they put out a updated iso soon to test with I like the manjaro dde it has steam and whinehq installed so I can put in my windows apps I need and wipe the ssd and load linux on the laptop and be done
<rneese>
its arch based yes but more updated pkgs then what ubuntu has .
<rneese>
I can move to the dev branches I know but grrr
<rneese>
sorry but I am happy to find the 1 fix was easy
<rneese>
but now I have to fix gitkraken
CyberManifest has joined #armbian
<lanefu>
LOL well.. uhmm pbp needs xtrawifi to build
<lanefu>
i mean to do wifi
<rneese>
gitkraken is the github/git gui interface for linux I find the best
<nekomancer[m]>
lanefu: your repo builds too. at least kernel compilation finished, image apt install still goung
<lanefu>
nekomancer[m]: i just tried the image.. firmware like didnt install right or something
<lanefu>
:(
<nekomancer[m]>
after lib/compilation-prepare.sh fix
<nekomancer[m]>
how can I check my image for that?
<rneese>
ok gguys bed time work tomorrow at the animal shelter
<nekomancer[m]>
maybe, my too?
<rneese>
chat ltr
<nekomancer[m]>
rneese: have good sleep!
<lanefu>
rneese: have good evening
<lanefu>
nekomancer[m]: the prepare fix just fixes the bootlogo error
<lanefu>
anyway try the image let me know if /lib/firmware is full
rneese has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<nekomancer[m]>
do you mean "are there any files"?
<lanefu>
do you see folders like /lib/firwmare/brcm and /lib/firmware/rockchip
<nekomancer[m]>
I still not have completed image. It's running.

lanefu do you want the tracking number for the bag-o-screwdrivers?
<lanefu>
Tonymac32: sure
<lanefu>
lol
<Tonymac32>
hahaha
<Tonymac32>
I'm just laughing that I have 10 of these little cheap clear-handle ones
<Tonymac32>
these aren't bad little acrylic case kits for the sub $6 mark
<Tonymac32>
So I'm trying to see if u-boot stopped configuring something to do with the SD power. On first boot the fsck passes, then everything goes to shit. Then next boot fsck fails miserably
<lanefu>
sometimes i wish i had cases
<lanefu>
you always find like the super hard problems
<Tonymac32>
Just annoying ones
<Tonymac32>
I'm sure there's someone in this IRC who would be like "oh yeah, it's that" and fix it in 5 minutes

woot how is it
<lanefu>
the manjora on my pbp is my first plasma experience
<archetech>
got a new wallpaper bout it lol
<lanefu>
hahah
<lanefu>
nekomancer[m]: yeah right now seem slike my branch is shit sorry

<lanefu>
man my brain hurts. its not installing hte local firmware package i'm building
<lanefu>
lol i feel like i'm gonna wake up adn people are gonna yell at me
<Tonymac32>
hmmmmm
<Tonymac32>
you're building the firmware, or just loading it?
<Tonymac32>
and of course the opi 3 doesn't fir an RPI case XD I hadn't tried before
<lanefu>
well building the armbian-firmware package
<lanefu>
i had some dumb combo of options where it wasnt installing the deb
<lanefu>
or making it or both
<lanefu>
the more you understand the build tools the less you understand the build tools
<Tonymac32>
hear hear
<Tonymac32>
I still want to see about making the patch/config for board families their own repos for the purpose of getting all that stuff out of the main build system
<Tonymac32>
then say I want to spin my own, I can just point it at my own board repo
<bd1308>
you mean like submodules?
<Tonymac32>
I honestly would just keep it as a config file and fetch the repo only if needed
<lanefu>
i have such a love hate with git submodules
<Tonymac32>
then users of the script can override it
<bd1308>
ah gotcha
<bd1308>
lanefu: I like them in theory, but it gets chaotic easily
<lanefu>
yeah
<lanefu>
its chaos theory
archetech has joined #armbian
<Tonymac32>
So I had mentioned this a while back, but when I was setting up the CH55x platform for platformIO, that is exactly how they handle it
<Tonymac32>
each platform has a repo and a manifest for tools fetched
* Tonymac32
looks at pile of acrylic cases
* Tonymac32
wonders if using CNC engraver to mark them is a good idea
* bd1308
looks at piles of old computers and a pile of SBCs :D
<Tonymac32>
old computers are more or less taken care of, I have a motherboard module for a Mac something or other that had system 8 on it, and a Core 2 duo mini ITX in a box
<Tonymac32>
I have *really* old computers, but those are collection
<bd1308>
oldest thing I have is an Apple ///
<Tonymac32>
SBC's.. well
<Tonymac32>
oh, an apple ///? nice
<Tonymac32>
I have a couple TRS-80's, the CoCo 2 and the model 100 portable
<lanefu>
bd1308: tony did that z80 kit computer recently
<lanefu>
....z80 right?
<ArmbianHelper>
..z80 right? [en~>eng]
<Tonymac32>
yeah, I built an RC2014 kit
<bd1308>
Ooooooo which one?!
<Tonymac32>
haha the Pro, so it runs CP/M
<bd1308>
CP/M was just brilliant
<Tonymac32>
I was showing my son how easy BASIC was XD
<Tonymac32>
I got the digital I/O board so was flashing some lights
<bd1308>
Yeah, I have an Apple IIGS I'm setting back up, and I was talking to my 6 year old about selling some of the old stuff and she was like "if you enjoy it, keep it" and she has a point
<bd1308>
I was iffy on keeping my Amiga 1200, but I always end up selling stuff and then regretting it later
<Tonymac32>
I learned how to program (first steps) on Apple BASIC
<Tonymac32>
the //e and IIgs were abundant in my school
<Tonymac32>
I think back in horror that I didn't grab any of them out of the dumpster when they decided to toss them. :'(
<bd1308>
I actually taught myself BASIC on a TI-83 by waking up at like 5am as a kid and programming by night-light light
<Tonymac32>
that was 2003 time frame even
<Tonymac32>
did you hear they are going to remove BASIC from them?
<Tonymac32>
because "cheating" or some nonsense
<bd1308>
I have 2 IIGSs, which is just enough....and trading a IIe for C64 this weekend, God help me
<bd1308>
oh man....that sucks
<Tonymac32>
I gave up on TI a while ago
<Tonymac32>
it was for 2 reasons, one was their abandoning the orignal TI-89 (no updates) upon releasing a 1/4 step better one
<bd1308>
MAN the TI-89 was sooooooo nice
<Tonymac32>
and 2nd was being an EE, the HP RPN calculators are infinitely better
<bd1308>
I ended up saving for one of those, and it was just fantastic
<bd1308>
especially the pretty print problem solver thing
<Tonymac32>
Well they released the TI89 silver or whatever, same processor, a bit more memory, and they said, "No updates for the $140 calculator you bought 3 years ago"
<bd1308>
but I felt like it wasn't cheating if I wrote a program in BASIC that would do what I needed it to do
<bd1308>
oh jeeze
<bd1308>
I feel like there's just so much teachers could have done with those and never did
<Tonymac32>
they could have designed a computer science class around them
<Tonymac32>
lol
<bd1308>
Absolutely! especially when you dip from BASIC to ASM
<Tonymac32>
I can't remember if those had a UART or not...
<Tonymac32>
the HP has UART, IR, etc, so from an I/O perspective it would be an easier go. Language wise, well
<Tonymac32>
The newest range of calculators are just crappy cell phones
<Tonymac32>
and I can't pretend to like it
<bd1308>
exactly my sentiment too
<Tonymac32>
I have the HP Prime as an app on my actual smartphone
<Tonymac32>
But then again I also hand soldered a parallel bus microcomputer together for fun
<Tonymac32>
so maybe I'm not normal (this is my shocked face)
<lanefu>
nekomancer[m]: bummer
<nekomancer[m]>
at last, now we know.
<bd1308>
I like HP calculators too, RPN was amazing with stacks, but I definitely just grazed the surface
<Tonymac32>
hey, at least your image isn't shitting all over it's own filesystem on first boot for unknown reasons
<lanefu>
haha true
<Tonymac32>
bd1308 I had an unfair advantage when I got my HP, I had been playing at writing my own x86 ASM OS
<Tonymac32>
so I had written a floating point library in assembly
<Tonymac32>
for the x87 FPU
<bd1308>
wow
<Tonymac32>
I sound like an angry old man, but like this issue with the Tinker board I'm having: I can't figure it out because of how many moving parts there are, even though it's just the damn bootloader
<bd1308>
8086 or 386 ASM? I wanted to learn x86 asm to write something for my Compaq Portable II, but the segments/offsets were just infuriating
<bd1308>
so I ended up gravitating toward 6502
<Tonymac32>
I started with 8086, and yes, 20 bit addresses are a PITA
<Tonymac32>
I jumped to using 80386 flat memory model
<Tonymac32>
jmp <anywhere you want>
<Tonymac32>
XD
<Tonymac32>
I *think* that's how MenuetOS still does it, although they went 64-bit some years ago as the primary target
<bd1308>
I had a EE class once, and absolutely loved it (I was studying as a ME but they wanted you to take some cross-engineering courses), built my own clock and shift register out of 74 series stuff
<bd1308>
it was fun
<Tonymac32>
I loved playing with 74-series and 4000-series logic
<Tonymac32>
simple, to the point, and race conditions!
<bd1308>
one day i'll build some Z80 computer or something, there's a few 6 chip CP/M designs around
<Tonymac32>
which signal will get to the NAND gate first? Tune in next time on "what on earth did my circuit just do?"
<bd1308>
XD
<Tonymac32>
I took an asynchronous logic class. wooooooo buddy
<bd1308>
oh man...that sounds rough
<Tonymac32>
I mean it was cool, but you basically threw a lot of stuff away
<Tonymac32>
assumptions = gone
<bd1308>
lol
<Tonymac32>
My next favorite was fuzzy logic
<Tonymac32>
(I spent far too long in University and really didn't graduate with half the paperwork to prove it)
<bd1308>
one of the projects I'd love to do is to make a ESP32 card that goes into a IIe, so I can peek/poke data from BASIC (you can write BASIC extensions called ampersand libraries) and have the ESP32 make HTTP requests for API data with Python
<Tonymac32>
That shouldn't be too bad, 8 bit data and address, some control signals
<Tonymac32>
the input only pins would actually serve a purpose for a change
<bd1308>
yeah, I think I'll work on that in the winter, I have plenty of ESP32s and a IIe, I just need to get a card
<bd1308>
as long as it's not more than 5V TTL, I dont think it'd destroy something
<bd1308>
it's just been a chaotic year lol
<Tonymac32>
level shifting will be fine for that because it is relatively slow
<bd1308>
I think my problem is just wrapping my head around needing to keep up with and/or sync to Apple II timings, but I've been watching tons of the Ben Eater protoboard computer videos to start demystifying stuff
<Tonymac32>
for address you could obviously just use the poor man's vreg, a zener and a resistor
<Tonymac32>
since that would be one-way
<Tonymac32>
I was playing with making an add-on card for my color computer
<bd1308>
I actually have a CoCo 2 I need to start playing with
<bd1308>
There's something about the TRS-80s that I love...I went to Tandy Assembly in Ohio a couple years ago and was just floored at all of the cool stuff
<bd1308>
wanted a TRS-80 4P for a while, but those shot up in price by a huge margin
<Tonymac32>
yeah
<Tonymac32>
I started to build my owm Z80 machine about 15 years ago, only got so far (budget of a student and no easy way to get some of the parts made like the PCB's)
<Tonymac32>
you can only use etching fluid in mom's casserole dish so many times
<bd1308>
LOL
<Tonymac32>
I was building it on exactly the same principle the RC2014 uses, which is why I went ahead and shelled out the money
<bd1308>
it's amazing how cheap PCBs can be made these days though
<bd1308>
And yeah, that's exactly what conclusion I came to as well
<bd1308>
the RC2014 is a NICE project
<Tonymac32>
it's ridiculous, I even sell some random stuff since I can get PCB's to my house for under $20 to experiment
<lanefu>
ha that reminds me.. i got my sweet 2 channel mixer board from switzerland
<bd1308>
that has a IMSAI 8080 look, totally awesome case
<Tonymac32>
Do you want to play a game?
<bd1308>
I saw one of those in person, and HOLY hell it was just packed to the gills with cards and he spent probably a half day nailing down memory errors and stuff just from him transporting it to Kansasfest
<Tonymac32>
of course I question how it worked before, so huh
<IgorPec>
we are at 2018.something with Tinker

So far therapudic reboots on my Orange Pie+ 2E seem to be keeping things in order.
<sdoran>
I should try disabling that and see if the clock speed tweaks help keep it stable.
<lanefu>
sdoran: yeah i'd also like to see if your new watchdog config can cover your other problem
<sdoran>
It'd be interesting to see if it gets stuck enough to allow the watchdog to reboot it.
<nekomancer[m]>
from alsa* I have installed `alsa-base,alsa-utils`

sound is there, I've got it working on my pinebook-pro, i'm just waiting for lanefu to cut an image and then i'll add the state file needed to get it working
epsilonKNOT has joined #armbian
<bd1308>
the actual driver and stuff is fine, the actual DACs are muted, but the asound.state file will flip those on, I haven't figured out a better way to set that via pulse configs....yet.
<nekomancer[m]>
I boot my pbp from old-good-working sdcard, and hear no sound there. Like something brolen in my pbp now ^(((
<nekomancer[m]>
reboot and sound is back
<nekomancer[m]>
in old image by ayufan
<bd1308>
oh, that's interesting
<nekomancer[m]>
lost again. seems it lost after try to look youtube in firefox
<nekomancer[m]>
in my oreviouslife , 2 days ago, it all works
<bd1308>
i've been stable with lanefu/me builds with new debian and mainline
<lanefu>
okay finally have a good pinebook pro image
<nekomancer[m]>
lanefu: try to touch around desktop in your image. All as you tell.
<lanefu>
nekomancer[m]: sorry don't understand
<lanefu>
fyi
<lanefu>
..this will auto translate
<ArmbianHelper>
this will auto translate [en~>eng]
