<steev> hmm
<steev> no, reset to windows 10 and it's still just not properly installing grub?
<steev> back in business, had to do the bcdedit thing
<steev> and audio still errors, well that was a good waste of a night
<steev> interestingly, i'm getting errno 61 this time, instead of 5

<BlitzWorks> trying to migrate to the c63 and wanted to check the status of some things
<BlitzWorks> is the pd-mapper and rmtfs and friends still required?
<BlitzWorks> what are the current set of kernel cmdline boot flags
<BlitzWorks> and does the mdem work in vanilla 5.13
<steev> yes, fnot sure, no
<BlitzWorks> thanks
<steev> the services will be required for pretty much ever
<BlitzWorks> does anyone else get a service ordeering startup issue with them?
<BlitzWorks> i normmaly have to restart one or two before wifi comes up
<BlitzWorks> and one of thsoe services w(when wifi does nto come up) has a message about somthign being claimed already
<steev> not here, at least, not in a long time
<steev> what kernel version are you running?
<BlitzWorks> compiling a 5.13 atm
<steev> are you using the aarch64-laptops tree?
<BlitzWorks> no, my understanding is that mainline works well enough
<BlitzWorks> the modem and such is a nice to have but not required
<steev> where do you get your understanding from?
<steev> i thought, but i could be completely wrong, that backlight and such isn't in vanilla
<steev> backlight and battery
<BlitzWorks> ah sorry was doing somthing else
<BlitzWorks> starts up fine and the screen turns ona nd backlight
<steev> it's okay, me too
<BlitzWorks> ahvent checked the battery stats but the keyoard is not working so was just diagnosing that
<steev> you need i2c_of_hid
<steev> i2c_hid_of
<BlitzWorks> and ended up building an arm build farm as its faster than on the device
<BlitzWorks> the of one? not he acpi one?
<steev> correct
<BlitzWorks> thanks
<steev> you can use
<BlitzWorks> i grabed the .config from a known working kernel but i suspect that its diffrent to what the kernel was compiled with
<BlitzWorks> as that module is disabled in .config but present in the kernel
<BlitzWorks> aht he overlays in the debian-cd required, i am assuming they are for firmware and the qualcom bootstrap stuff
<steev> overlays?
<BlitzWorks> err additional apt repos
<steev> if you're using debian based system, yeah you can enable the linaro obs thing for the different packages for rmtfs/alsa-ucm-conf type things
<BlitzWorks> ah alsa-ucm is in there, perfect
<steev> the firmware though, you have you use the script to extract it from your windows partition
<BlitzWorks> thats enough of a reason for me to keep it there
<BlitzWorks> ok thats all sorted then (the firmware)
<steev> there are definitely a few patches you'd want on top of 5.13 though to make things nicer; one is the gpio bit for audio
<steev> you could look through the commits on that laptops-5.13 i linked
<BlitzWorks> will do, may make the jump to it then
<steev> there's definitely extra stuff in it for the flex 5G and not specific to the c630, but that's fine too
<derzahl> man, even after restoring windows. device sda shows up in grub as hd5
<derzahl> making it im possible to generate correct grub files since grub-mkconfig thinks is hd0 - as it always had been until last week
<steev> derzahl: i have that showing here too (hd5) instead of hd0 - but grub seems fine, at least on kali/debian

<derzahl> oh, really?
<derzahl> so when you run grub-mkconfig,it used hd5 instead of hd0 for your actual disk?
<steev> actually, it does use hd0 in the system, but i remember the very first boot when i was trying to do shell.efi stuff, it was claiming to be hd5
<steev> then again... i was silly and did "mountvol P: /S" and scp'd the shell.efi onto the efi partition in windows, instead of mounting it off the usb
<derzahl> yeh FS5:
<derzahl> i remember that from the beginning
<derzahl> but grub always used to think it was hd0...and still does in the OS
<derzahl> but then it boots to a grub shell cuz i cant find anything good on hd0
<derzahl> and hd5 is the disk where all the needed stuff is:(
<derzahl> well some good news at least. thanks to your sfdump info i was able to all the the proper partition type guids and extra attributes back to /dev/sdf
<derzahl> and now windows has wifi!
<derzahl> you think i could get one of those stripped down rpi windows arm64 versions and put that on the c630 in a small partition?
<bamse> derzahl: doubt that you would have sufficient driver support...or that you would like to tackle that problem
<steev> you could always just strip out all the cruft, and then.... just shrink the partition in linux
<steev> windows still won't let me shrink it past 77gb no matter what but linux was like "smallest you can make it is 20GB"
FizzBuzz has joined #aarch64-laptops
<bamse> will it boot after that?
<derzahl> i have been tryingto shrink it and that fucker is 20GB
<derzahl> any idea are welcome:)
<steev> bamse: yeah windows boots just fine there's like 2gb free
