<stipa>
guys, has anyone managed to get full bandwith wifi repeater using two radios. I understand that one radio will waste half of bandwith acting as a repeater but I can't acheive better bandwith with two radios, it's still half of bandwith at the other end. I have used this technique https://wiki.debian.org/BridgeNetworkConnectionsProxyArp together with hostapd and wpa_supplicant for client part of the repeater.
<stipa>
So, I dont have radios with WDS.
<stipa>
Some people on the net say that two radios should get you full bandwidth repeater but I think they never tried it....
<Werner>
I agree with those people. Never tried that but if you have two independent wifi devices both should achieve their max rating.
<Werner>
One sends full speed and one receives full speed
<stipa>
It should work like that but it doesen't, tried it on maybe three distros and two different machines...
<Werner>
Well no clue. Never tried to build my own repeater...
<stipa>
two different hardware machines*
<stipa>
I understand Werner
<Werner>
Just for the heck of it you could try to utilize two sbcs with wifi configure them independently and connect in between via ethernet
<stipa>
tried that.
<stipa>
it's logical that it should work but it...
<stipa>
like one sbc is client bridge and another ap and they are connected via ethernet
<stipa>
tried that.
<stipa>
what is cool
<stipa>
if i log into the repeater
<stipa>
via ssh
<stipa>
and I do iperf to the AP from it, bandwidth is full
<stipa>
also if I'm connected to the repeater(it's AP) i do full iperf bandwith if i iperf the repeater.
<stipa>
but
<stipa>
from client that is connected to repeater to the AP, with iperf server on the AP, bandwidth is halved.
<stipa>
client > repeater > AP = half bandwith
<stipa>
client > repeater = full bandwith
<stipa>
repeater > AP = full bandwith
<Werner>
Odd
<stipa>
yes

First time I did it with NAT and it was the same, I went with the proxyarp technique because I wanted to stay on the same subnet because of the network printer...
<stipa>
everything works but that halving of the bandwidth is odd as fuck.
<Miouyouyou>
neese: Yesh, I'm here !
<stipa>
Now I just use one radio, it's even a tiny bt faster than using two :D
<stipa>
but, man I would be happy like kid if i could get it full!

<Miouyouyou>
It's iperf TCP or iperf UDP ? The test is not attempting to broadcast packets to everyone ? Because, broadcast packets tend to destroy Wifi performance.
<stipa>
I have no idea. I sue iperf3 -s for the server and iperf3 (-R) -c for the client.
<stipa>
but if i do speedtest-cli from the client connected to the repeater I can see the halving of the internet speed if that helps.
<Miouyouyou>
Alright, it's TCP then. You get exactly half of the bandwidth ? Like 10Mbps to 5Mbps ?
<rneese>
Miouyouyou, i am learnign as fast as I can but its alot to learn
<Miouyouyou>
No worries
<stipa>
Is it smart to add more juice to USB port on a SBC by connecting positive pin of the USB connector directly to positive on power jack of the SBC?
<rneese>
no
<rneese>
never over power a board
<stipa>
even if't 5V?
<stipa>
it's
<Miouyouyou>
Board kernel patches need to be placed in patch/kernel/your_board_family_name-${BRANCH}/
<rneese>
I was looking more at the xml stuff
<stipa>
hardisks have hard time on spin up...
<rneese>
that would have to go for the desktop for each custom board
<rneese>
like for fixing the pineboop
<Miouyouyou>
stipa : There are people powering the board through the pins directly. Try to look for such threads on the forum
<rneese>
but I also have to find out how to do this on dde and on budgie
<stipa>
Miouyouyou: will check
<rneese>
ok wait you can power on the gpio pins yes
<rneese>
on the 5v in/out pins
<rneese>
or on the usm port marked power
<rneese>
but you should never appply power on both at the same time
<rneese>
sorry I should have explained better
<Miouyouyou>
You can add a "custom/${BOARD}/debian/postinst" to an desktop environment, desktop environment configuration or appgroup if you want to apply special treatments for a specific board during the installation of their packages
<rneese>
yeah thats what I am trying to learn how to do now
<rneese>
we have to do this for xfce for the pinebook build
<rneese>
so I am tring to match what they do but not understanding the custom stuff yet
<rneese>
"custom/${BOARD}/debian/postinst" will appy to even ubuntu ?
<rneese>
I thought tht was just for debian
<stipa>
rneese: I want to connect from power jack postive 5V terminal directl to USB's 5V.
<Miouyouyou>
Yes, its a ".deb" thing
<stipa>
make a jumper
<Miouyouyou>
When making a .deb package, you need a debian/ folder (since its their package format). The "postinst/" part will be called after installing the package (Armbian Desktop in this example)
<stipa>
on a USB port to add more power to the USB.
<rneese>
ok you should not push 5v + onto a normal usb port
<rneese>
stipa just like a normal pc you can not put extra 5v on a usb port
<rneese>
putting 5v in on a normal usb not made for input of power will fry it
<Miouyouyou>
stipa: Be careful, these boards hardware are not top quality, notably in term of surge protections. If you push it a little too far, you'll just fry the whole thing up, and maybe start a little campfire in your room.
<rneese>
thats why they make 2 port for power or a barrel jack
<rneese>
I think he is trying to use the usb to power a hd
<rneese>
and the board should be able to unless the power coming into the board is to low
<Miouyouyou>
I see
<Miouyouyou>
Just create a thread on the forum about that. If other people encountered the same issue, with the same board, they'll just provide you their solutions. And nobody did, you might have to double check your setup (cable quality, etc...)
<Miouyouyou>
s/And nobody/And if nobody/
<ArmbianHelper>
Miouyouyou meant to say: Just create a thread on the forum about that. If other people encountered the same issue, with the same board, they'll just provide you their solutions. And if nobody did, you might have to double check your setup (cable quality, etc...)
<rneese>
so Miouyouyou if and when you have some time to help no push can you help show me converting the pinebook pro files to our new lay out so I understand better
<rneese>
but I need to eat
<rneese>
Miouyouyou, where are you located ?
<rneese>
I am in the US in Tennessee on the east side
<Miouyouyou>
Alright. I'm in France.
<rneese>
ok so your 4 hours ahead
<Miouyouyou>
Roughly, yeah. I don't know if there's the whole Summer Time nonsense in Tennessee ?
<rneese>
no your 6 hours ahead
<rneese>
its 101 pm there
<Miouyouyou>
It's 13:01 here
<stipa>
rneese: You're right, I want to power the hard drive, juice from miniusb ain't enough.
<rneese>
ok its 7:01 here
<Miouyouyou>
6h then
<stipa>
now, I'm powering it with smartphone charger but powering it directly from DC jack would be fancier.
<stipa>
less wires and extra power socket on the wall...
<rneese>
unless your using swap why mot just get a usb thumbdrive thats low power
<stipa>
I think there is enough juice in my power supply of the SBC to power the board and hard disk...
<rneese>
off to get food back in 10
<stipa>
because I'll have important data on the disk and S.M.A.R.T is something that can get handy.
<stipa>
if disk gets fishy.
<stipa>
with USB flash memory I'm blind and data could wanish...
<rneese>
well I dont know that arm supports smart thats a intel thing and arm does not have a bios with smart in it
<stipa>
hmmm
<rneese>
never seen s.m.a.r.t used on arm
<stipa>
no wa
<stipa>
y
<stipa>
so
<stipa>
how do I get smart data from hard disk than?
<stipa>
info and such...
<stipa>
if arm has no smart.
<stipa>
because I do get smart data from hard disk
<stipa>
smart info*
<stipa>
or not?
<rneese>
it might be in the kernel
<rneese>
but like I said I have never seen it on arm
<rneese>
food brb
<rneese>
must have coffie
DaRock has joined #armbian
<stipa>
oki
<Miouyouyou>
hdparm might help you retrieve hard disk information.
<stipa>
Miouyouyou: I personally don't see the problem in feeding 5V into USB connector, I think the problem would be when more than 5V would be fed into it.
<stipa>
yes, use hdparm alot.
<stipa>
Stuff connected to USB port would jsut take juice as needed.
<Miouyouyou>
TonyMac32 might be able to help you on electronics issues, but he might be sleeping right now.
<stipa>
I'm going to forum...
<rneese>
lucky I have screen reader on I heard this
<rneese>
the issue is adding 5v on a normal usb will fry the usp port
<rneese>
thats why when you get a ext usb some have a y cable
<stipa>
USB is 5V I think.
<rneese>
usb is 4.6 to 5v
<rneese>
its a bit variatable
<rneese>
you can not push powe r back in on a power out usb port
<stipa>
only thing that could fry it is voltage above 5V i think.
<rneese>
usb power by default are 5v out not 5v in
<stipa>
but
<stipa>
man
<rneese>
they make 1 port normaly on arm board a mini or micro for power
<rneese>
its how the boards are made
<rneese>
usb powerts even on a normal pc work this way
<rneese>
its for chip protection
<stipa>
how to I add than extra juice, if I add a diode from USB port and then add external power would that work?
<stipa>
diode would drop voltage
<stipa>
and external oer would rise it back to 5V
<stipa>
and no power from additional power would go into usb beacuse of the diode, right?
<rneese>
mod your board bet when you fry it dont get upset the ports where not made to do this
<rneese>
what board are you using
<rneese>
that the power is so low
<stipa>
orange pil ite 2
<stipa>
orange pi lite 2*
<stipa>
I want to add juice to USB2 port
<rneese>
and your using the 5v3a power supply
<stipa>
yes
<rneese>
the boards where not ment to do this
<stipa>
you sound like police.
<stipa>
or government
<rneese>
I would get a ssd that uses less power and rm a normal hd from the equasion
<rneese>
no I work with arm bioard
<rneese>
I work with friendly arm
<rneese>
arm boards are made to be low power
<stipa>
if we could call 5V 3A low power...
<stipa>
than yes!
<rneese>
and the oly way you could change the board is to cut the 5v trace to the usb port ann run a custom config but when you blow up your board dont come crying
<rneese>
5v3a is low power
<rneese>
my t4 requires 12v3a
<stipa>
30mA is low power mate...
<stipa>
or less
<stipa>
3A is for killing people
<rneese>
your playing games now done do what you want
<stipa>
:D
<stipa>
don't worry
<stipa>
I want blame you
<stipa>
wont*
<rneese>
do not mod the usb3 port you will destroy it
<rneese>
looking at the schematics
<rneese>
it has power protection
<stipa>
oh,
<stipa>
right now
<rneese>
the usb2 looks like you could cut the trace
<stipa>
hard disk is connected to micro usb and phone charger is charging the disk.
<rneese>
for power and mod it but usb3 is more intergrated and protected
<rneese>
the microusb is a otg /power in port by default
<stipa>
it cant spin the disk
<stipa>
power from micro usb
<stipa>
only with additional power
<stipa>
USB2 can
<rneese>
no the micro usb is ment for otg/power in
<stipa>
oh,
<stipa>
all of those ports
<stipa>
even usb3 cant power the disk by itself
<rneese>
the usb2/3 are output
<rneese>
unless your using a otg to normal port conversion cable
<stipa>
yes
<rneese>
the mini/micro is the otg / 5v 2/3a usb power in
<rneese>
so we give 2 selections of suggests and recommends as options
<rneese>
so in menu mode they can choose in a build
<rneese>
and have the option from the cli also
<Miouyouyou>
Well, if you define a global variable
<Miouyouyou>
They should be able to define it by passing it to the compile.sh script
<rneese>
yes thats whet I thought we where looking at as the goal
<Miouyouyou>
Just add it as the last, just after the "appgroups" selection
<rneese>
ok
<rneese>
i will work on learnign this today and reading
<Miouyouyou>
Alright. Just add an "exit_with_error 'Testing'" after the part you're adding, so that you can re execute the script as much as you want without triggering a recompile
<rneese>
ok
<Miouyouyou>
Once the menu seems setup correctly and you're getting back the variables (check with echo ), then remove the "exit_with_error" and start using them where you need them
<rneese>
ok
<rneese>
taking notes
<rneese>
lol so that I can follow
<rneese>
heheh
<rneese>
I feel like I am back in school

Basically, the next part would be to create a new function (something like install_deb_chroot_desktop ), mimick the code of install_deb_chroot , add some code to generate the extra apt options (by iterating of each DESKTOP_APT_FLAGS_SELECTED and add ""--install-${flag}") and then pass these options to apt
<rneese>
okkk
<Miouyouyou>
install_deb_chroot is used in many places that are not related to Desktop packages, so modifying it directly is a no-no
<rneese>
ok
<Miouyouyou>
That's why we need a new one.
<rneese>
I see another fix we have to do when generating the desktop.deb
<rneese>
we need to add the name of the desktop
<rneese>
so Ihave to fiind where this is done

<lanefu>
rneese: what if you just add the recommended and suggested packages into the package list
<rneese>
because it makes the list way to big and by using this command we leave it a option and keeps the base list smaller
<rneese>
we dont want 500+ pkgs in the desktop/packages file
<rneese>
this makes it easier
<rneese>
in distributions.sh ?
<rneese>
Miouyouyou, ?
<lanefu>
you could put the recommened and additional packages in just additonal vars. then append the vars to the desktop package list?
<lanefu>
just simpler than making the flags switchable
<rneese>
I just figured the flags are easier then having to generate multi list with the new build system
<rneese>
trying to keep code minimal
<rneese>
running test 1
<Miouyouyou>
Well, adding the whole package list would be better, since we know what packages we are actually installing. The problem is getting that list. That said, yeah, for control purposes the list should be complete.
<rneese>
plus as the recommends and suggest change this makes it so we dont have to mod the this all the time
<Miouyouyou>
I'm just trying to add apt repositories for the moment, so that we can at least deal with 3D drivers, which will require such features
<rneese>
making it so we can add custom repos
<rneese>
testing the stuff we added
<rneese>
we did 3 files
<rneese>
is there more
<Miouyouyou>
Well, if the flags are passed correctly and everything is installed, no that should be all.
<rneese>
testing
<lanefu>
IgorPec: Werner i'm trying to just think of documentation topics that are missing, and deeper coverage into some of armbian's features like ramlog, armbianmonitor etc.. so if you have any more ideas please just add issues on github repo... I'm hoping we can get some community help there
<rneese>
next part to fix it the armbian-config so that when you use a base mg ans install desktop you get to select which one
<rneese>
looks like it worked
<rneese>
1032 pkgs up from 745
<rneese>
so it looks like it used the flag
<rneese>
lanfu we can make it work both ways
<rneese>
but I just wanted the easier do to package changes happening and not wanting to edit files all the time

lanefu: i was talking with nico today and he is interested to do some video
<Werner>
Nice
<lanefu>
IgorPec: great! I was hoping he might want to make some more :)
<IgorPec>
and he said he can do something, but currently has to finish something else ... then
<IgorPec>
"Try to include other regulars in shaping the video. Also IMO its best to plan it the way it can be updated in case of changes, make modular, more short ones per sections"
<IgorPec>
perhaps he show ups tomorrow and we can talk more about
<lanefu>
good plan
<IgorPec>
yeah, now let's see where we will get with it
<lanefu>
maybe archetech can make a video on how to uninstall armbian :P
<IgorPec>
haha
<lanefu>
IgorPec: is there a meeting agenda posted anywhere?
<lanefu>
like for specifics for this release? are we just gonna go through the board
<IgorPec>
nothing specific, just going trought the open thigns
<lanefu>
okay
<IgorPec>
i will be less prepared as usuall, since i had very busy weeks
<lanefu>
Tony_mac32: will you make it to the meetin gtomorrow?
<rneese>
so IgorPec with the help of Miouyouyou 2 items have been knocked off I got the desktop name added
<IgorPec>
rneese: noticed, yes
<IgorPec>
great, things are moving, that's important
<rneese>
learnig is not bad its retaining it the hard part
<rneese>
how can I see if the option was passed is there a degub level out put
<lanefu>
Werner: what did you mean by "Add hint how to get constellations that are not provided offically" ?
<rneese>
so we can see all ommands passed
<Werner>
lanefu, not all flavors with all available branches are provided for some boards. So if you want bullseye with legacy for board xy you have to build it yourself
<rneese>
commands even I want o see it pass the git commage with the --includes
<rneese>
--install-option
<lanefu>
Werner: gotcha.. constellations threw me off :)
<Werner>
Hehe
<IgorPec>
rneese: probably not implemented?
<rneese>
we added it
<rneese>
the debug output
<rneese>
ok
<IgorPec>
aha, don't know
<rneese>
we added code today for the --install-option
<IgorPec>
i think we will need another channel, armbian-devel :)
<rneese>
yes
<Werner>
Sure thing
<rneese>
ok he set it up
<rneese>
we have armbian-devel

<IgorPec>
we can add all active ? also armbian-firmware
macc24 has joined #armbian
<lanefu>
#armbian-commits is like my favorite thing ever

Sure thing, needs to be done by a repo owner
<Werner>
Simply copy the webhook values from the build repoistory to make it work
<lanefu>
cool i'll take care of it
<Miouyouyou>
Hmm ?
<lanefu>
alright that should be good for armbian-commits

i never thought i'd actually like XFCE but its been growing on me
<lanefu>
especially when found xfce-look.org
<IgorPec>
soon there will be more choices ...
<lanefu>
yeah i gotta say DDE and budgie are pretty slick
<lanefu>
dde seemed fine on PBP in my brief testing
<lanefu>
BTW i used the schedutil governor, but i don't know how to prove that its better
<lanefu>
it takes more of a middle ground on frequencies
<lanefu>
ondemand seems kind of all-or-nothing
<IgorPec>
mainline ?
<lanefu>
yeah man
<IgorPec>
3399 is well supported by now, yeahb
<lanefu>
im running 5.8.12
<lanefu>
only problem now is something happened to my brain, and all I want to use is bullseye
<lanefu>
so makes it harder for me to tweak focal :P
<IgorPec>
hehe, well, you can have it
<IgorPec>
but its probably a bit more buggy now
<lanefu>
nah it's fine
<lanefu>
been using it for weeks on pbp
<lanefu>
and its mesa stuff works out of the box
<lanefu>
and by weeks i guess i mean 2 weeks

Ext4 boo. You seem like a Reiserfs guy
<rneese>
f2fs or bktrfs
<rneese>
only way to go on emmc/ssd
<archetech>
I have no need of exotic stuff just latest stuff
<archetech>
I run minimal on all my linux
<archetech>
why I build alot from source
<archetech>
I just solved a hackintosh gpu config issue that causes thousands of emails per yr
<archetech>
every new user gets stumped by intel hd 5/6xx iGPU configs they spend countless days on it then buy a rx 570/580 just to get metal hw accel
<rneese>
i would swap my rk3399+nvme 128 gig for a pbp
<archetech>
that makes no sense
<rneese>
yes because I want to have a arm laptop
<rneese>
the pbp is going to be it
<archetech>
its a rockpro64 witha bd and screen dude
<archetech>
kbd
<rneese>
its a edp screen
<rneese>
and cannot get the edp workingon the t4
<rneese>
and the piinebook info no help
<rneese>
ig I could get the edp port working I coould do more
<rneese>
ig/if
<rneese>
I have a 11 inch edp screen
<archetech>
hmm I run my N2 with a 27" QHD IPS monitor cant any higher quality here
<archetech>
get*
<rneese>
but I have to be portable not going to hall a monitor around
<archetech>
my 7 yr old dell ivy LT blows it away heh
<archetech>
3521
<archetech>
but yeah "arm" yeha
<rneese>
clear
<rneese>
ok bbiab
<archetech>
id like a pinephone plus if they ever make one
<archetech>
with a kbd and mon heh
<lanefu>
archetech: you're describing the pinetab basically
<archetech>
has it got a cell chip?
<archetech>
fit in a pocket?
<rneese>
ok i like pinetab its the pbp in tablet touchscreen
<rneese>
if I have the edp port workin on the t4 I would make a tbalet with mine
rneese has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<archetech>
think inghow x86_64 cpu's have hit a fab brick wall intel's 7nm wil be2 more yrs amd will max out soon too
<archetech>
apple moves to arm nvidia buys arm holdings wild times
rneese has joined #armbian
<rneese>
now I see why they say dont run a ios from thumbdrive
<rneese>
my thumbdrive crashed and wont boot
<archetech>
and sbc's generally stink cuz its chinese tech
rneese has quit [Client Quit]
<nologin>
archetech: wild times indeed, let's hope nvidia will share bifrost docs, so we can have decent gpu driver for n2
<nologin>
archetech: btw. my n2 is able to run 4k fine
<archetech>
2k is fine atm here good to know it works @4k for future

is reading about linux on risc-v
<archetech>
the new thing
<archetech>
byob build ur own board and put linux on it
<archetech>
tony would like it
Hokedli has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!]
<nologin>
don't know about risc-v, but looks like risc will gain popularity in the coming years
<archetech>
RISC-V architecture is a reaction to the end of
<archetech>
conventional transistor scaling thought so
<archetech>
I predict intel/amd will fold up and morph to supporting this
<archetech>
end of IP silicon capitalism
<IgorPec>
IMO they are already morhed in the backstage
<archetech>
gosh all those huge fabs goona be ghosts
<nologin>
you think intel/amd will switch to risc?
<archetech>
well cisc was always about the $
<archetech>
Igor think i'd take that 6k and build a small arm farm
<archetech>
get about oh 64 N2's and mesh them
<archetech>
or 32 and thr est for a san for it
<archetech>
the rest
<archetech>
give ya ~200 cores heh
<nologin>
wouldn't it still be slower for one task when compared to let's say 64c thdripper?
xec has joined #armbian
xecuter has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<archetech>
yes it wouldnt be for running apps other than distributed parallel compiling
<archetech>
or a hadoop database
<nologin>
never did distributed computing myself, maybe i should try it one day with all the cores i have available at home :)
<nologin>
is it easy to "hack" gnu make for example so that it distributed load in a networked environment?
<nologin>
*distributes
<archetech>
can do it with a server and a bunch of vm's tied together
<nologin>
do you really need vm's for that?
<archetech>
well who has $ for a dozen boxes
<archetech>
one ryzen could do iti with vm's on one box
<nologin>
whoever is lazy like me and never sells his hardware
<archetech>
best to have homogeneous hardware
<archetech>
not spare stuff
<nologin>
that's not the case unfortunately
<nologin>
but i imagine for kernel compilation it shouldn't matter much how long it takes to compile a single object
<archetech>
with 32 N2's a kernel would compile in about 1 minute
<nologin>
that's 192 cores, right?
<archetech>
6x 32
<archetech>
theirs benchmarks that back that up they build a kernel on an epyc with 2 rome cpu's fast
Mony_ has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
<archetech>
id like to see a photonic based server do a kernel those they have inb labs atm
<nologin>
just tried 'time make -j32 all' on my desktop with a custom config (a lot smaller than usual config coming with a distro kernel) and it turned out 1m30s
<nologin>
2950x
<archetech>
there ya go
<nologin>
maybe when i'm bored i'll read about distributed compilation and see how it turns out with about 50 cores added on different boxes
<nologin>
could be interesting
<archetech>
doable
<archetech>
use a 10GB switch :)
<nologin>
1Gbps only :(
<nologin>
anyone using ibm model m?
Mony has joined #armbian
<lanefu>
I had a model m with a ps/2 VGA all-in one
<nologin>
vga?
<lanefu>
Also I love bbs documentary. I ran 2 BBS
<nologin>
oh, cool :)
<nologin>
did you have any problems with the model m due drawing too much power on the port?
<lanefu>
Yeah it was a model 25 or 30? It was old when I got it
<lanefu>
Nah I only ran it on the real ibm
* nologin
stupid
<nologin>
ok, got it now, IBM PS/2 computer with model m
<lanefu>
Ha ya
<nologin>
sounds reasonable when using IBM machine, things get interesting today with all the ps2->usb converters etc.
<lanefu>
Yeah. I wonder what the voltage was on the ps/2 port given rs232 is like 12
<lanefu>
My fancy keyboard with cherry clears is collecting dust downtown at the office. I miss it
<nologin>
cherry clear! basically the last mechanical switch i need to try
<nologin>
need=want
<lanefu>
Yeah they were too stiff for my buddy so I bought the keyboard from him since I murder keys
<nologin>
i'm used to high g keyboard i guess, been using mostly Topre Realforce with 55g actuation for the last couple of years
<nologin>
great keyboard btw.
<nologin>
i got the model m recently and i'm not certain key, but i think it's too heavy for me
<lanefu>
Yeah I'm not really a keyboard geek, just kinda stumbled into my current
<nologin>
i mean the actuation
<nologin>
nevermind
<lanefu>
Ha sorry wasn't trying to shut you down or anything. Just didn't wanna disappoint
