04:20 <leif> for the unoffical Fedora build https://github.com/leifliddy/asahi-fedora-builder

04:20 <leif> I built the xorg-x11-server rpms and incorporated these patches

04:20 <leif> https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/1006

04:20 <leif> It significally reduces the screen tearing effect /w xorg when the "TearFree" option is enabled

04:20 <leif> and put them here https://leifliddy.com/asahi-linux/rawhide/aarch64/

07:27 <mps> leftas: I've built xorg-server from the current git and also can confirm your words, I've built on alpine

07:28 <mps> leftas: sorry, meant to say to leif

11:54 <paolo_kuk_> Hello, please help; my Mac mini/Debian is unable to run GUI; I'm attaching a short summary https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/GSwmncEe/snippet

12:00 <ChaosPrincess> post asahi/installer.log here, it should be on your efi system partition

12:00 <ChaosPrincess> idk where debian mounts it, it but it is usually /boot, /boot/efi, or /efi

12:07 <paolo_kuk_> Thank you; can you please give me a hint what is the easiest way to post the log file from command line? I'm not familiar with the network commands, so I would probably copy it to a usb stick, put it in another computer and so on... :-/ . But it should be somehow possible using irc from CLI... am I right? I'm sorry; I'm not experienced with IRC.

12:08 <j`ey> paolo_kuk_: cat foo | nc termbin.com 9999

12:08 <j`ey> (where cat foo is the command to produce the output)

12:25 <paolo_kuk_> Wow, cool stuff; thank you! I suspected there will be an easier way...

12:25 <paolo_kuk_> I've found the file at /boot/efi/asahi/installer.log, it is from September, though. Anyway - it rests at https://termbin.com/v06vz

12:28 <paolo_kuk_> ...there was a discussion about this issue on https://oftc.irclog.whitequark.org/asahi-alt/2022-12-19 - but I didn't really understand the stuff about copying boot.bin files enough.

12:30 <j`ey> you can dump the full dmesg

12:31 <ChaosPrincess> paolo_kuk_: i see that you didnt make the stupid mistake i expected, so not exactly sure where to go from here, sorry.

12:34 <j`ey> ChaosPrincess: expert=Y? :P

12:34 <ChaosPrincess> aye

12:34 <paolo_kuk_> allright; see https://termbin.com/e4p7 then

12:36 <paolo_kuk_> ChaosPrincess: I take it as compliment, thanks... It started suddenly - one day my parents called me that their computer is not working (and described me the CLI they were facing :-))

17:57 <Glanzmann> paolo_kuk_: I think the problem is that you had automated updates enabled and a libunwind from debian was installed.

17:58 <Glanzmann> paolo_kuk_: Maybe you want to try the following steps and reboot to see if it fixes the problem: https://thomas.glanzmann.de/asahi/README.txt

20:33 <paolo_kuk_> Hello Thomas and thank you very much for your debian-scripts!

20:34 <paolo_kuk_> I've tried those steps (again) this morning (as I've mentioned in the snippet in my today's first post) but it didn't help.

20:35 <paolo_kuk_> I was updating from your repository (along with many other updates from debian, though...)

20:36 <paolo_kuk_> Should I somehow turn off automatic debian updates AND THEN follow the steps you were referring to?

20:37 <Glanzmann> Nope, that should have resolved it.

20:37 <Glanzmann> paolo_kuk_: What machine is that a mac mini?

20:39 <paolo_kuk_> This one: https://www.czc.cz/apple-mac-mini-m1-8gb-256gb-ssd-8-core-gpu-big-sur-m1-2020/304129b8/produkt

20:39 <paolo_kuk_> normal Mac mini, no tuning... was working nicely until December

20:40 <Glanzmann> paolo_kuk_: I'll make a you script ready to collect some more data. I have the same but with 16 GB.

20:41 <paolo_kuk_> Thanks a lot, Thomas!

20:41 <paolo_kuk_> I can paste the files (30-modeset.conf) so you know they are correct - but this morning I was doublechecking them to make sure there is no typo...

20:41 <paolo_kuk_> so I don't think there is a problem.

20:43 <paolo_kuk_> I've recently updated the MacOS since you mentioned that you did it and Asahi web said it won't break anything.

20:52 <Glanzmann> paolo_kuk_: I recently also upgraded macos and had no issues afterwards.

20:52 <Glanzmann> as in one week ago.

20:55 <Glanzmann> paolo_kuk_: I sent your script which collects a lot of data and uploads it to pbot.rmdir.de hopefully we can narrow things down.

21:03 <Glanzmann> I'll go to sleep now and look at your output in the morning. You can either send me an email to thomas@glanzmann.de so that I know how to contact your or I just write you in the IRC once I find something.

21:04 <Glanzmann> paolo_kuk_: You could also try the debian asahi live stick and see if you can get X with that.

21:11 <Glanzmann> c

22:18 <paolo_kuk_> Oh, I see. I did it; I guess it will be some silly thing... :-)

22:20 <paolo_kuk_> ...yes, I didn't try live stick yet; if time allows, I can do that. But again - as I wrote in my lengthy snippet, the GUI started once - so I *know* that it's technically possible and the problem seems to be some kind of (mis)configuration. But I'm not using Linux daily anymore, so my modest know-how keeps fading away...

22:27 <paolo_kuk_> One more bit: when I run "lightdm", it ends (or rather halts) with : process:853): WARNING ...: Failed to open CK session: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.CosoleKit was not provided y any .service files
