jannau: the kmod bundled with the amd64 install cd seems to have zstd support built in
<chadmed>
so we can save a fair amount of space by not decompressing the kernel modules when we copy them over to the ramdisk
<_jannau_>
has that changed?
<_jannau_>
I'm pretty sure it was not supported
<chadmed>
im not in linux but the binary contains methods to decompress zstd?
<chadmed>
its linked against libzstd too so maybe that did change recently or we were doing something wrong before
<mps>
chadmed: does busybox supports zstd
<mps>
ah, separate kmod, not from busybox
<chadmed>
yeah the gentoo livecd ships with the full-fat kmod
<chadmed>
busybox is there for some other stuff but its not symlinked to kmod
<mps>
yes, also alpine
<chadmed>
aaahh youre joking its too big by like 9 mib lmao
<chadmed>
ok beautiful nuking some more useless firmware frees up enough space

hi guys, anyone else running alpinelinux having issues with loading modules?
<mps>
ktz: no one reported yet
<mps>
what is your problem
<ktz>
having installed linux-firmware, running udev in a fresh installation I can't get a wifi dongle working. When trying to modprobe ath9k it finds nothing under /lib/modules/5.19.0-4-asahi
<ktz>
I've sent you many details in private, in case you haven't got my messages let me know
<mps>
maybe this driver is not enabled in kernel config
<mps>
no, please talk here, so other people also could help
<ktz>
so apart from installing the linux-firwmare package I need to enable it in the kernel as well?
<mps>
yes
<ktz>
shouldn't I find it under /lib/modules/kernel?
<mps>
no, if it is not enabled in kernel config
<ktz>
I thought ath9k would pop up there after installing linux-firmware
<ktz>
oh I see then, thanks
<mps>
do you know what is config option needed for this driver
<ktz>
I think I do, I'll try and let you know
<ktz>
are there any configs you manually changed from 5.19 to 6.1 or I'm good with defaulting the new ones?
<ktz>
I'll try compiling the wip branch
<mps>
I think it is ATH9K
<ktz>
please share your current .config if that's an option
<mps>
ktz: you have it in /boot/config-asahi if you installed kernel from alpine repo
<mps>
I see that the ATH9K isn't enabled in it
<ktz>
I have the 5.19 one, if there are manual things you configed in the new options you better send me yours
<ktz>
otherwise I'll default the suggested ones and update mine
<chadmed>
ATH9K is disabled in the default asahi config too
<mps>
let me check what is now good kernel version for distros, I can enable driver in alpine linux
<mps>
chadmed: aha
<chadmed>
ive been using asahi-6.1-rc1-2 for ~arm64 (the unstable keyword) in gentoo with no problems, has a bunch of cool stuff like reliable jack support that users may want
<ktz>
well, why would you even need the ATH9K module built in since you add them with linux-firmware?
<chadmed>
but i think sticking with the last 5.19 tag for stable still makes sense
<mps>
I'm getting more and more requests to enable different drivers and options
<j`ey>
ktz: the firmware still needs a linux driver
<chadmed>
linux-firmware only pulls in the firmware blobs, not the kernel modules (the driver )
<ktz>
I'll enable it myself if that's really the answer, its ok
<mps>
ktz: yes, you can
<ktz>
ok, understandable, thanks
<ktz>
how the AR9271 chipset functions if ATH9K is off in asahi then?
<chadmed>
i find the default asahi config to be full fat enough for these machines, it builds almost all the externally attachable peripheral drivers
<ktz>
it works properly, alongside with others which don't in the alpine kernel
<ktz>
but I think there is some issue anyway with the current package as no modules show up in the corresponding folder. maybe I'm missing something but I think they should regardless since I installed the package
<chadmed>
mps: commit was signed by m arcan
<mps>
chadmed: ah, thanks
<mps>
I didn't really expected that the so much users will use alpha kernel :)
<mps>
so I didn't enabled much options for alpine kernel
<ktz>
by the way this is the udevadm monitor output when plugging in the dongle
<ktz>
in alarm it proceeds to create an interface and such
<mps>
ktz: ok, will try to find some time this evening and upgrade kernel and enable more drivers and options
<ktz>
no it's okay, I think I found my answer, I'll figure it out soon
<ktz>
thanks guys

Hey, anyone got gnome-shell / gdm working on latest debian testing? It broke after a recent update. I remember some conversation about this problem in #asahi but it seems to have solved itself by an arch upgrade.
<ashi>
sway works, so is lightdm, so it is not a general issue with wayland

Yep told something about that two weeks ago. Looks like there is a problem with libmutter-11-0. And that was my conversation. I am not at the system actual but I will write a little documentation how to downgrade to gnome-shell 42.0.3 and libmutter-10-0 when I am.
<cy8aer>
And with libmutter-11-0 some triple buffering is switched on and I wonder if this might be the problem.

I also supected triple buffering and tried to disable it via environment but it did not work
<ashi>
I still have libmutter-10-0 installed but I do not know where to get old debian packages, they seem to be removed from archives, hmm.
