11:42 <matteo> hi all

11:42 <j`ey_> have you tried an external keyboard?

11:42 <matteo> yes, with no luck

11:43 <mps> matteo: so you can't 'break' u-boot iiuc

11:43 <matteo> right

11:43 <matteo> can I access the linux fs from macos?

11:43 <mps> then I think you can't boot from usb

11:43 <matteo> so to change grub default entry

11:44 <j`ey_> weird that an external keyboard doesnt work either..

11:44 <mps> matteo: I wrote about month or two here how to access linux partition from macos

11:44 <matteo> cool

11:45 <mps> but I didn't made guide from writing, for now you can look log of this channel

11:45 <leif> matteo: what hardware are you on?

11:49 <mps> matteo: sorry, I wrote about accessing linux from macos on #asahi channel

11:50 <mps> have to find all this and extract to write simple guide

11:51 <jannau> leif: macbook pro 16" (m1 pro), from #asahi

11:53 <jannau> matteo: keyboard/trackpad are consistently not working, even after a couple of reboot? keyboard doesn't work in u-boot when it displays "press any key to interrupt auto boot"?

11:54 <leif> matteo: can you give us a bit of background. What is the exact Fedora kernel version you're on. Are you on F37 or F38? Was the keyboard working before you installed that kernel?

12:23 <matteo> jannau: even after several reboots

12:23 <matteo> leftas: F38, kernel 6.2.something

12:24 <matteo> keyboard was working before, I used it for two days

12:24 <matteo> then I upgraded to a new kernel, and now it

12:24 <matteo> *it's dead

12:30 <matteo> mps: can you post the instructions somewhere, like a pastebin for now?

12:30 <matteo> I wish to change the grub config

12:31 <mps> matteo: first you have to install qemu on macos

12:31 <jannau> impossible to debug this without more information but unfortunately I don't see an easy way to provide more information. my best guess would be missing kernel modules

12:33 <mps> matteo: then you have to create qemu linux VM with your prefered distro, or download ready made if it exists

12:34 <mps> and then you have to add '-drive' parameters to your qemu start/boot scripts

12:35 <mps> will try to search my start script and post

12:37 <mps> matteo: here is what I added to qemu start script '-drive if=virtio,id=hd1,format=raw,file=/dev/disk0s6', that attach partition 6 from macos

12:38 <matteo> ahh ok

12:38 <matteo> so you pass the partition as passthrough

12:38 <mps> matteo: here is complete start script https://tpaste.us/0lwy ofc it should be updated to you enviroment

12:38 <matteo> like guestfish does, more or less

12:39 <mps> for example I used alpine linux =alpine-virt-3.17.0-aarch64.iso image as rootfs for qemu

12:39 <mps> s/=//

12:41 <mps> that way, I boot install iso but don't start installation. mounted macos partition (which is linux FS) and do needed fixes

12:42 <mps> and I use pure cli for qemu, not some 'easy to use' layers. pure cli is best imo

13:04 <leif> matteo: I'm not sure how to repro an issue for kernel 6.2.something

13:05 <matteo> hi leif

13:06 <matteo> mps: how to get qemu? I need to compile it?

13:06 <matteo> or there is some binary somewhere?

13:06 <leif> you didn't install the actual (official) Fedora kernel did you?

13:09 <mps> matteo: my knowledge about macos is low. I installed brew and with it I insalled qemu. that is all I can say about this. but probably other people know better

13:10 <matteo> ok

13:11 <leif> So the latest F38 kernel is kernel-6.2.6-300.fc38 -- see if that version shows up in your grub menu

13:15 <matteo> I will check on next reboot

13:20 <leif> I'm guessing that's what happened. That would explain your issue. Unless you excluded kernel packages from the Fedora repo, then that kernel would have been installed w/ dnf upgrade (as it would be latest/newest version)

17:10 <matteo> kernel is vmlinuz-6.2.5-300.fc38.aarch64

17:32 <matteo> leif: kernel is vmlinuz-6.2.5-300.fc38.aarch64

17:36 <leif> Yup, that's what happened. You have to be careful about which kernels you decide install. The F38 one is going to track the latest stable kernel (ie 6.2.x) pretty closely. You can easily use Exclude filtering on the F38 repo to prevent that.

17:36 <leif> Anyways, were you able to recover your system?
