@MeshCentral (MeshCentral): Just for fun, tested the Rock64 on MeshCentral with Armbian_20.08.1Rock64_bionic_4.4.213 Work perfectly, including remote desktop. Runs the same agent as the Raspberry Pi when running a 64bit OS. https://t.co/26mVZrIfOM (24s ago)
<lanefu>
are you not running builder locally first and testing?
<rneese>
no its builing based up upload
<rneese>
and i did not touch that line
<lanefu>
i mean git diff doesnt lie man
<lanefu>
i litteraly commented on your merge diff on the line that failed
<rneese>
ahh
<rneese>
done and pushed up
<lanefu>
anyway it wont build an image but it should at least succesfully pass its default kernel build test

<rneese>
ok welll need a desktop build
<rneese>
lol
<rneese>
I dont have hardware for a build server
<rneese>
I have to work on that next
<lanefu>
rneese: okay that "worked" your part passed
<rneese>
ok
<lanefu>
that failure was stupidi kernel wifi shit
<lanefu>
what SBC do you have?
<lanefu>
ill try building an image for you
<rneese>
nanopi t4
<lanefu>
let will run after my build finishes
<rneese>
ok
<c0rnelius>
thats exactly what I use my T4 for, aarch64 for builds. I don't use a desktop though, its all headless.
<c0rnelius>
the foundation with 8GB because the end game is getting a functional aarch64 desktop and its not gonna happen on that SoC without the extra juice.
<rneese>
we have office with 26 t4 that this img will go on once it works
<c0rnelius>
thats a lot of T4s :)
<rneese>
once the build works and we have a workign omg i can load on the ssd
<Tony_mac32>
Yes, which is awesome btw
<rneese>
we teach basics
<c0rnelius>
i'll say this, it runs really well so far on 5.8.10.
<Tony_mac32>
My T4 is cranking away on some numbers with an NVMe as it's root
<rneese>
yeah we use 128 gig nvme ssd
<rneese>
and I like the boards alot and even on the sd it runs great
<Tony_mac32>
OK, we patch the eMMC stuff into the Tinker board device tree to avoid having 2 images for the same board (90% the same anyway)
<rneese>
but i would not want to kill a emmc running a desktop
<rneese>
we have 1 img for the t4 that supprts the emmc or the ssd but uses the emmc as /boot
<rneese>
and the ssd as /
<Tony_mac32>
getting errors about the mmc controller gpios, so looking there. It might be a weird "u-boot now does more stuff, making a broken thing in the kernel become a problem"
<Tony_mac32>
rneese that's what I do
<rneese>
well the install script in armbian-config does most the work

oida has joined #armbian
<Tony_mac32>
yep
<Tony_mac32>
lanefu: so we're about to embark on a journey where updating a kernel without updating uboot would be bad I think
<Tony_mac32>
and vice versa
* Tony_mac32
quietly points back in time to when he said updates should be separated by release number
<rneese>
<lanefu> fell out
<rneese>
well I have to hit the sack
<Tony_mac32>
noooooo
<Tony_mac32>
lol
<rneese>
back in the am
<Tony_mac32>
alright, have a good one
<c0rnelius>
why do you guys update the kernel and uboot? I understand the kernel of course, but uboot?
<c0rnelius>
I find once uboot is in place its generally stable

Hey guys! I have a cubieboard 1 and I'd like to create a debian image for that just to experiment new things. How can I do that? any scripts or tools available?
<Werner>
lanefu try to use the build command with bash -x as prefix to get more insight. Will get messy. Make sure your buffer is big.
<lanefu>
yeah i suppose it is time for that eh
<lanefu>
i'll use my old friend `| tee log.txt`
<IgorPec>
rneese: yes
<IgorPec>
which is why we are developing different concept
<IgorPec>
not just adding desktop(s)
<rneese>
ok
<IgorPec>
lanefu: i see the error, actually two
<IgorPec>
and i think i know what it is
<lanefu>
yay! i can have my life back soon
<IgorPec>
haha
* IgorPec
gives Lanefu life bacjk
<lanefu>
lol
<IgorPec>
rneeese: we have two options now
<rneese>
well I have read and I am reviewing
<rneese>
ok
<IgorPec>
actually more .. but let's say
<IgorPec>
we can reuse that xfce princip, build up this desktop
<IgorPec>
but not merge it upstream
<IgorPec>
so that it is prepared, we can test it and improve
<IgorPec>
but sits in a separate branch
<rneese>
ok
<IgorPec>
once myy is further enough, we merge it there
<rneese>
ok 2nd
<IgorPec>
and when myy stuff is well tested, it goes to master
<rneese>
wich branch is the myy
<IgorPec>
did you find some sources for branding this?
<IgorPec>
not yet in build system
<rneese>
well the is a desktop default setting pkg
<IgorPec>
his task is much larger - he has to tear down the concept and build from scratch
<IgorPec>
and it has to work at the end
<rneese>
so I am reviewing it as to what to patch
<IgorPec>
ok, i also did some investigation, just a bit
<IgorPec>
to know how to change version in the left upper corner
<rneese>
thats in the bar
<rneese>
I have to figure that out
<IgorPec>
it displays "Armbian 20.08.3" now
<rneese>
well then let me boot up the existing sd and look before doing a install
<IgorPec>
there is more
<rneese>
ok i will dig up settings files
<IgorPec>
we need to know how to define default desktop, theme lightdm, in system information / about it says "Ubuntu Remix"
<rneese>
ok
<IgorPec>
perhaps we want different theme ...
<IgorPec>
i did quick investigation in the morning, but haven't really got proper time
<rneese>
<WindowZytch> G'morning to you! Since this is an Ubuntu remix, everything but the packages should be the same as normal Ubuntu itself.
<rneese>
we can make a custom theme
<IgorPec>
well, not sure if we need to do that. probably there are some community made to change
<rneese>
they have theme pkgs
<rneese>
I intalled them all
<rneese>
I will dig things in the configs back in a bit
<IgorPec>
ok
<rneese>
but do you like the desktop look ?
<IgorPec>
yeah, its very nice
<rneese>
I think its a great setup and very clean
<rneese>
it can look like wwindows or look like mac wich is nice
<IgorPec>
my current daily driver is linux mint cinanom
<rneese>
I have on a usb for testing manjaro dde
<rneese>
been working on it also
<rneese>
I am not trying to change the project just I have outgrown the xfce/gnome days
<rneese>
and wanted a fresh start
<rneese>
and since armbian is the linux for arm devices I had no other place to look
<IgorPec>
gnome is okeish but not my style
<rneese>
and if we gan get the option on it is just a good way to help it get a fresh look and feel
<IgorPec>
xfce will remain for poor devices ;)
<IgorPec>
not sure how this desktop will work on A20 board. need to try ...
<rneese>
yeah lxde and xfce for low end is good choice
<rneese>
ok in the /home dir there is .config .icons .theme .local
<rneese>
so I will dig in thise first
<rneese>
ok for wallpaper it seems they go in .config/deepin/dde-daemon/appearance/custom-wallpapers
<rneese>
IgorPec, lol found a issue
<rneese>
login as root you can not logout
<rneese>
but it works fine for normal users
<lanefu>
xfce has been growing on me
<lanefu>
IgorPec: are the PBP bugs on my changes, or existing build system quirks?
<rneese>
lanefu, what board
<IgorPec>
lanefu: i think both ... i thought i found the problem but i actually find another bug :(
<IgorPec>
brb, i need to focus
<IgorPec>
to claim life back and give lanefu life back :)
<lanefu>
:P
<lanefu>
rneese: i've been working on finishing touches with pbp to make it usable..... others did the hard part, i'm just trying to get it to the finish line
<rneese>
lanefu, what board you running
<lanefu>
pinebook pro
<rneese>
ok
<rneese>
then you should be able to test the dde with the script I have
<rneese>
installl with a minimal sd then run the install script
<lanefu>
word
<lanefu>
yeah can even build images with it using the customize-image step armbian supports
<rneese>
well at the min I just use a bash script that installs x and the dde pkgs
<IgorPec>
trying to overwrite '/etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml', which is also in package libxfce4ui-common 4.14.1-1ubuntu1
<IgorPec>
move that part to family_ tweaks
<IgorPec>
and AllowHibernation to _bsp and you got your life back
<lanefu>
OMG why could i not see that
<IgorPec>
hehe :) that's life
<lanefu>

IgorPec, you wanted to change the version to read the Armbian version ?
<IgorPec>
yes
<rneese>
its .config/deepin/dde-welcome
<rneese>
[General]
<rneese>
Version=20.04 LTS
<rneese>
so we change the file there
<IgorPec>
ok, this means we need to writ this to the /etc/skel/.config/deepin/dde-welcome
<rneese>
ok
<rneese>
ok thats 1
<rneese>
now looking at the rest
jock has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
jock has joined #armbian
<rneese>
igore I have a question
<rneese>
it has to do with builds and firsttime login
<lanefu>
on proper vlans now.. that took way too long for me to fix
<rneese>
the issue is that what if I am building a system for someone and shipping it to tem for them to setup thier own user when they get it. so I want it to aask them on first boot to add user name and password and then do the x releated setup
<rneese>
but as it is now when you setup a sd it is making a user account
<rneese>
or if in the longrun armbian/or someone wants to sell a preloaded device and have the user add thier account when they get it
<rneese>
is there a flag to set
<rneese>
so that this will happen ?
<rneese>
just something I have been looking at
<IgorPec>
you want to have an image with preinstalled username ?
<rneese>
no like if we where to sell the t4 preloaded on a ssd . there would have to be a way for the buyer to setup his account
<rneese>
the only account would be root by default
<IgorPec>
i don't understand what you mean. this is armbian by default
<IgorPec>
you have to change root password and create user
<rneese>
ok well at one point I was looking to setup 70 boxes for users but as it stands we wanted to pre install on ssd
<IgorPec>
well, if you adjust bootloader
<IgorPec>
you only DD image directly to NVME and it should work
<rneese>
no as we have to have /boot on the emmc and /on the ssd
<rneese>
like the script does for install
<IgorPec>
its some work to have that
<rneese>
ok
<rneese>
just asking
<ArmbianTwitter>

or our pack in the future
<rneese>
ok then I have to find out how to not install the wall papers it looks like its part of the meta file and the ubuntudde-dde install
<rneese>
so we would have to make icon pkgs and wallpapers pkg
<rneese>
we will have to work on this

don't know
<IgorPec>
check how to map docker out
<IgorPec>
lanefu: yeah it was worth the trouble
<rneese>
igore I have to do some digging finding a feww issues
<rneese>
like the login rewriting the dde-welcome file
<rneese>
how to stop and make it read correctly
jock_ has joined #armbian
<IgorPec>
which login? our login
<rneese>
also where does it grab the name/namefrom
<rneese>
wehn you login to the desktop
<rneese>
on the topbar
<rneese>
in the dde
<IgorPec>
ahaa
<rneese>
i edited the file to test
<rneese>
and it re edited it
<rneese>
and set it back
<rneese>
to me this is a bug
<rneese>
I have to look into
<rneese>
it should not over write this file everytime
<IgorPec>
usr|lib|deeping|desktop-version
<IgorPec>
is the correct file
<rneese>
there is no file desktop-version
jock has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]

<R0b0t1>
if I crossbuild the kernel from an x64 host, what commands do I run to get the 3 installable files (the dtb tree, the modules, the vmlinuz, and the uinitrd)
<R0b0t1>
I am pretty sure I know how to make modules_install or dtbs_install go to a different directory than system /boot but I am unsure for the uinitrd

lanefu: well issue is I need debug kernel, so I need the symbols on another machine. I've yet to experiment with copying them yet but it seems easiest to crossbuild from x64 machine then copy the output to the device, as this is what is intended
<R0b0t1>
I am thinking, since I have a modern ubuntu install, I can try poking around if I use the dockerless compile
<R0b0t1>
does it thrash the intermediates right after it is done?

IgorPec: where's the sanest place to set this for armbianEnv.txt extraboardargs="CONFIG_SUSPEND=s2idle"
<IgorPec>
this will be permanent?
<lanefu>
lol nevermind that argument doesnt work there anyway
<IgorPec>
ok
<lanefu>
IgorPec: oh i found a different kernel argument
<lanefu>
that i wanna use
<lanefu>
so my question still applies
<lanefu>
...permanent...semi-permanent i guess ?
<ArmbianHelper>
.permanent...semi-permanent i guess ? [en~>eng]
<IgorPec>
if its not critical, add to boot script
<IgorPec>
extraarrgs is to avoid
<lanefu>
gotcha alternatively i can have hardware optimze just do echo "s2idle" > /sys/power_memsleep
<lanefu>
maybe thats better afterall?
<IgorPec>
ok, that's better yes
<IgorPec>
forget about that
