<juri_>
do we have a place for earlier archives? i'm looking for a pinebook pro image before 20210820.
<juri_>
i know i've been gone for a while, but.. i'm having some medical difficulty, which has left me restricted to bedrest for the greater portion of the last six months. i'm trying to track down when a kernel bug was introduced, but.. we may not have old enough images / repositories.
<juri_>
still, sorry i've been out of circulation.
<juri_>
biology sucks.
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> juri: interesting... it "showsd up".. but I don't use external displays with mine so I don't know if it actually functions
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> juri: interesting... it "shows up".. but I don't use external displays with mine so I don't know if it actually functions
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> but the interface is there
<juri_>
Tenkawa: I had this functioning with a known cable / display combo, on a known date. no longer.
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> I have a very custom build though
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> (Not Armbian not default kernel)
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> er nor
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> bummer
<juri_>
now, it looks like the earlier kernel is trying to work, but xhci-hcd claims the hardware is locking up, then it dies.
<juri_>
.. which is happening on old kernel, and new kernel. ugh.
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> could be the cable
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> if you haven't used it in a while
<juri_>
hmm. ok, no usb-c <-> usb-c is working, but i do have an external dock working.
<juri_>
but can confirm: only the old kernel works. something is unhappy with the new ones.

<kerim> hello! is it possible to list the available networks at boot and connect to one of them in some way?
zeemate has joined #armbian
<DC-IRC>
<IgorPec> you can develop such application, yes
<DC-IRC>
<kerim> Actually, I tried to run the armbian-config command at boot using a script and a service, but the command didn't work as a service.
<DC-IRC>
<kerim> Actually, I tried to run the armbian-config command at boot while there is no internet connection using a script and a service, but the command didn't work as a service.
<DC-IRC>
<IgorPec> no, armbian-config is interactive tool. we are trying to rewrite it for almost 2 years now
<DC-IRC>
<IgorPec> so you will need to code something on your own
<DC-IRC>
<kerim> okay got it, thanks
<IgorPec>
otherwise just opening a tool nmtui-connect
<IgorPec>
might do

<kerim> didn't work it's opening armbian-conifg's screen again, thanks i'm going with nmcli
<DC-IRC>
<kerim> didn't work 'cause it uses the same screen, thanks i'm going with nmcli
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> @kerim try sudo nmcli dev wifi to get the list of SSIDs then you can wrap that in to connect
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> without sudo it won't show them all

<Tenkawa> Ok loos like you are using the same base call.
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> Ok looks like you are using the same base call.
<Herc>
if it doesnt work using systemd there still is /etc/rc.local
<Herc>
even if they say it is deprecated
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> Technically.... isn't NM Gnome.. not systemd?
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> I don't think nm has any systemd requirements
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> well I guess it does need libsystemd0 but what in Debian anymore doesn't lol

ok, have reproduced on a second pinebook pro.
lemonzest has quit [Quit: WeeChat 3.6]

<Tenkawa> If I hook up my PBP and build a new kernel is there anything I can test without an external display that isn't working for you currently?
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> I'll attempt to see if I can track down where in the kernel its acting up
<DC-IRC>
<Jason123> Network manager does not require systemd it runs fine on void linux
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> Yeah I thought it was able to run without it
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> Debian just has libsystemd because "everything" in there they like to link against it
<DC-IRC>
<kerim> i've tried without systemd using /etc/rc.local file but the script didn't started
<DC-IRC>
<kerim> and the same using systemd too .. i'm looking for something else can execute it as i run `/path/to/script` as ..

I didnt analize the script, but in rc.local you need full/absolute paths
<DC-IRC>
<c0rnelius> That script looks interactive. You trying to run it every the system boots or just once?
<DC-IRC>
<c0rnelius> That script looks interactive. You trying to run it everytime the system boots or just once?
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> thats interactive
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> read -s -p "Enter the password for ${networks[$((selected_network_num-1))]}: " password
<DC-IRC>
<c0rnelius> the script after doing its thing would need to disable the service and exit. unless u want it happening during every boot.
<DC-IRC>
<kerim> yup i want to run it every time the system boots cause when there's no internet connection it should start

tenkawa: on newer kernels, even with the power only hooked to the usb-c port, you won't see a "DP-1" in the output of xrandr.
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> hmmm.. power... interesting word
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> what do you use for a power source?
<juri_>
USB-c. i've got both USB-PD supplies, and non-PD supplies.
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> What current?
<juri_>
it used to work with non-PD plugged into the monitor, and the monitor plugged into the laptop.
<juri_>
*shrugs*. i can find out. give me a few minutes.
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> np no rush
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> One problem with newer kernels/etc they seem to need more power draw
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> I trim my config down a lot.... that hels
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> I trim my config down a lot.... that helps
<juri_>
i'll have a power meter tomorrow.
<juri_>
oh, nevermind, i have it today. wheee!
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> it should be written on the supplt
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> it should be written on the supply
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> there should be volts and mah rating on it
<juri_>
5@3, 9@2, and 12@1.5.
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> Yeah that "should" be plenty as long as you are hooking up just the Monitor, kb and mousefor testing.... anymore and its going to be straining it
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> Thats a bit small for anything more with a PBP w NVMe in it
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> I run 4 A
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> @ 5V
<juri_>
so, the monitor is powered separately.
<juri_>
and, according to my power meter, i'm currently powering the pinebook with 5.3 @ 0.16A.
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> Are you using USB-C or HDMI to output video?
<juri_>
usb-c to an hdmi caapable dock, right this second. the dock is powered via the 5.3/0.16, and the monitor is attached with an hdmi cable.
<juri_>
(i could swear this used to work with just usb, but.. i'll take victory when i have it)
<juri_>
if i upgrade to a newer kernel (current, or edge), i lose the DP-1 interface.
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> It sounds like the kernel "config" neefs updated.. thats all
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> It sounds like the kernel "config" needs updated.. thats all and rebuilt
<DC-IRC>
<Tenkawa> It sounds like its just missing DP support
<juri_>
*nods*. sorry i can't be arsed to do maintainery stuff... i'm dealing with a lot right now.
<juri_>
(hip surgery gone wrong.)
<juri_>
so these pinebooks are kindof the only thing i've got to access.. the world since about 7 weeks bac.

hmm beginning to get a bit nervous because I flashed my micro-sd card with an armbian image for my orange pi zero 2 and it did not boot.... hope this isn't a DOA device

<Kanken> orange pi zero 2 with armbian jammy 6.2.2 completely broke down after the latest update
<DC-IRC>
<Kanken> i don't have time to sort it out tonight but if you have the same board as me running the same os, backup before you update anything X')
archetech has joined #armbian
<Sabotender>
so theres hope that my orange pi works? I'll try to find a different image. the ones from the orangepi.org site the downloads have exceeded or whatever rubbish
<Sabotender>
I tried bullseye and jammy with no success
<Sabotender>
I just want something, anything to make this thing boot to at least confirm it works
<Sabotender>
its operational leds don't work unless the OS supports that functionality
<Sabotender>
i'm sure I'll find something.
<DC-IRC>
<Jason123> Sabotender flash the sd card with armbian minimal cli image then plug it into ethernet and the device should come up on your internet then you can ssh into it
<Sabotender>
needs to be wireless
<Sabotender>
i'm prob going to just install pihole on one of my spare laptops, and sending this orangepi back
<archetech>
has to be wireless? have you tech skills?
<DC-IRC>
<Jason123> Sabotender connect it to ethernet to test it out and see if it works then if its does then you can setup wireless
<Sabotender>
I don't have ethernet abailable. ever.
<Sabotender>
this is why I asked if the armbian image had wireless functionality built in
<Sabotender>
dealing the same issue with my odroid. again.
<Sabotender>
I will never, ever ever have access to ethernet.
<archetech>
thats nuts
<archetech>
all it takes is a wless router w/ lan ports which most have
