| sicelo | ok, i have otg cable (hub in fact) and keyboard works. there's no terminal for me to login though :-p | 08:36 |
| sicelo | must modify inittab? | 08:37 |
| gnarface | sicelo: otg? if you mean a serial adapter, than yes, you have to modify the inittab as well as your kernel command-line to add the serial console | 08:38 |
| sicelo | ah, i was hoping to login on the device directly, because screen is working | 08:40 |
| gnarface | sicelo: oh, sorry, i thought that was possible actually but i'm no maemo expert, stick around to talk to someone who actually knows what's going on | 08:48 |
| sicelo | it's a normal computing thing ... i'm just not used to setting it up myself. let me check | 08:49 |
| gnarface | what do you mean by OTG cable? you mean some sort of usb->hdmi adapter? | 09:08 |
| gnarface | the OTG terminology rings a bell but i'm having trouble recalling where i heard it last in this context | 09:09 |
| sicelo | i have a usb hub. otg cable means roughly same thing, but only has one 'downstream' port | 09:13 |
| uvos__ | sicelo: hmm leste should getty the ttys | 10:09 |
| uvos__ | sicelo: i gues its geting stuck somewhere before that :\ | 10:09 |
| gnarface | is it possible the screen is on but not directed to the right source? | 10:27 |
| sicelo | i *think* it passes the getty stage fine. isn't xorg startup much later? | 10:53 |
| gnarface | yes | 10:55 |
| gnarface | the kernel will be doing something to the display settings well before that though, because of the framebuffer (now on by default for regular displays too though last i checked in debian derivatives anyway) | 10:57 |
| gnarface | but depending on your bootloader setup, it could even be engaging the framebuffer before the linux kernel | 10:58 |
| gnarface | so just because the screen is on doesn't necessarily even mean you made it as far as linux... | 10:58 |
| gnarface | and it can certainly go wrong in a number of ways at that point | 10:59 |
| gnarface | you using u-boot? or... tow-boot, or something else? | 10:59 |
| gnarface | make sure you don't have "quiet" in your kernel command-line | 11:01 |
| uvos__ | sicelo: getty is pretty late on leste | 11:01 |
| uvos__ | im not sure if its before or after xorg | 11:01 |
| gnarface | (that way if it makes it at least as far as linux you can see exactly how far it got) | 11:01 |
| uvos__ | anyhow if its not coperateing i would create a new runlevel with no xrog by hand on the sdcard and boot to that and try and start xorg by hand after that | 11:02 |
| uvos__ | sicelo: you can install fbkeybord from chroot/ some other host it comes with a emergency runlevel thats futher along in the process than the normal single user mode | 11:03 |
| sicelo | fun: if the librem5 goes into suspend, the SD card gets reported as write-protected. doesn't look like there's much that can be done after that | 12:05 |
| sicelo | *to fix that | 12:05 |
| sicelo | any hints for my problem based on http://destrier.alwaysdata.net/auth.log ? | 14:29 |
| sicelo | looks like elogind and udev set the correct permissions for the video card | 14:29 |
| gnarface | put it at paste.debian.net if you want me to actually look, but just as a guess make sure your user is in the video group | 14:30 |
| sicelo | it's 400KB, so not a fit for paste.debian | 14:32 |
| gnarface | is that much of it really relevant? | 14:34 |
| gnarface | i figured we were talking about just a few lines here, maybe repeating... | 14:34 |
| sicelo | user is in video group ... | 15:56 |
| sicelo | grep video /etc/group | 15:56 |
| sicelo | video:x:44:user | 15:56 |
| sicelo | https://paste.debian.net/1311263/ this is openrc log | 16:08 |
| gnarface | hmm | 16:12 |
| gnarface | some suspicious errors | 16:12 |
| gnarface | seems like your kernel build might be missing something? or maybe it's a initrd issue? | 16:13 |
| sicelo | leste doesn't use an initrd | 16:13 |
| gnarface | oh | 16:14 |
| Wizzup | sicelo: I think if you set the softlevel to rescue or something then you might get a tty | 18:10 |
| Wizzup | with keyboard | 18:10 |
| Wizzup | uvos__: ^ right? | 18:11 |
| uvos__ | Wizzup: [11:03] <uvos__> sicelo: you can install fbkeybord from chroot/ some other host it comes with a emergency runlevel thats futher along in the process than the normal single user mode | 18:11 |
| Wizzup | yes, that :) | 18:11 |
| Wizzup | sorry | 18:11 |
| dsc_ | https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=U2k9D81fbpA good rant regarding the ability to put bootloaders on your own devices | 19:23 |
| sicelo | so i'm on recovery runlevel ... logged in successfully. | 20:21 |
| sicelo | not sure what to do now? :p | 20:21 |
| sicelo | user is definitely in video group | 20:22 |
| gnarface | stop display manager, try it with startx? | 20:25 |
| gnarface | at least then maybe you'll get some error | 20:26 |
| gnarface | the log file should be in ~/.local/share/xorg/ | 20:26 |
| gnarface | if not there, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 20:26 |
| gnarface | ... unless it's using wayland, then i'm not sure where it puts it | 20:26 |
| sicelo | heh, hildon shows up | 20:29 |
| sicelo | the problem, whatever it is ... is most likely related to rootless X | 20:31 |
| Wizzup | sicelo: you ran X as root and it worked? | 20:47 |
| Wizzup | sicelo: you need to check the dev nodes and see if they have video as their group maybe | 20:47 |
| Wizzup | sicelo: great progress | 20:47 |
