ChanServ changed the topic of #aarch64-laptops to: Linux support for AArch64 Laptops (Asus NovaGo TP370QL - HP Envy x2 - Lenovo Mixx 630 - Lenovo Yoga C630)
<steev> dd to the wrong device
<steev> That said… saw there was a new board-2.bin in kalle’s repo but sadly, it still doesn’t find our device in it
<davidebeatrici[m]> Always use https://github.com/jsamr/bootiso when writing to a USB drive.

<amstan> davidebeatrici: that's a little absolutist, heh
<amstan> i prefer `cros flash`
<davidebeatrici[m]> I mean, anything but `dd`. Before discovering `bootiso` I always checked at least 5 times the command before running...
<davidebeatrici[m]> Isn't `Cros Flash` ChromiumOS only? https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/docs/+/HEAD/cros_flash.md
<amstan> it probably is, heh
<amstan> yeah... idk, i wish there was a standard way to do this easily without being dangerous
<amstan> maybe udev rules to mark removable devices as user writable
<amstan> and never use sudo with dd
<amstan> i do sometimes want to partition stuff manually on that flash drive
<amstan> mount still won't work for most filesystems though

<JoshuaAshton> jenneron[m]: You'll want this to fix some rendering bugs https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/18779
<jenneron[m]> JoshuaAshton: ...in windows?
<JoshuaAshton> jenneron[m]: No for Galaxy Book S
<JoshuaAshton> it wont be your display issues though
<JoshuaAshton> it fixes corrupt rendering in applications
<clover[m]> <steev> "That said… saw there was a new..." <- That was supposed to be the official wifi firmware right?
<steev> dunno
<steev> as always, changes to the board files are usually just "update board.bin" or "update board-2.bin" and absolutely no information about what changed
<clover[m]> can i see a link to the repo you are talking about?
<ajhalaney[m]> Anyone know how to get a windows iso for the x13s? I'm really struggling to figure out what you're supposed to do if you say, wipe windows, then decide you might want it for firmware updates etc :P
<qzed> clover: one of the ath ones here: https://github.com/kvalo, not sure which one applies to the x13s
<szclsya[m]> ajhalaney: you can find recovery images on lenovo support
<szclsya[m]> and the image creation tool is x86 only, comical
<ajhalaney[m]> and a windows executable I see (these support pages are not fun to navigate) -- luckily i have a x86 dual boot box laying around to make this easier... thanks Leo Shen !
<szclsya[m]> no problem :)

<clover[m]> qzed: who is kalle? someone that works for qcom?
alpernebbi has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
<qzed> AFAIK yes, he maintains wifi stuff (not sure if exclusively qcom) for the kernel, including firmware

<steev> clover[m]: yes, that's his github, the ath11k is the repo i mean
<steev> he's been atheros for a long long time
<clover[m]> ok, thanks for the info!
<steev> ftr, just copying it in isn't enough, you also have to revert the wifi hack, but, again, it doesn't work
<clover[m]> i wont try it then :)

<Lucanis> robclark, apparantly its armv8 so even has 64bit support. I took the time to inspect the cpu itself.
<steev> clover[m]: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215987 is the upstream bug that (should) cover it
<robclark> Lucanis: ahh, ok, I guess the elinux wiki page is just extremely out of date
dcz has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
<steev> bamse: so, uh, apparently if i flip the sdcard reader over, it doesn't block the wifi
<clover[m]> <steev> "clover: https://bugzilla.kernel..." <- ok so the bug is still open for us
<steev> well, it's open for everyone, but yes
<clover[m]> im not really familiar with 'bugzilla'
<clover[m]> why doesn't kernel just use github or something similar
<robclark> because github didn't exist when the kernel bugzilla was setup, probably ;-)

<steev> i would shudder to think of having to use github for the code review for the kernel
<clover[m]> Lol!
<robclark> gitlab does have some pretty significant advantages over email list based review.. having used both myself quite a bit.. the main disadvantage is it isn't very easy to comment on the commit msg itself (but you can always copy+paste+quote into a comment unassociated with a line of code)
<clover[m]> Let's start a revolution
<robclark> getting all kernel developers to switch workflow from what they've duct taped together over the years seems unlikely to happen.. but I expect with time some individual subsystems may switch.. we are _kinda_ using gitlab for drm/msm (not for patch review, just for the pre-merge CI aspect.. but I expect once the CI setup is working as well as mesa's there would be some interest in using more of gitlab's features
