04:02 <lactose> r0ni I sketched up a boot logo for U-Boot, what do you think? I made the Slackware logo flat because the gradient looks a little dated in my opinion. https://files.catbox.moe/gnn2ej.png

08:46 <r0ni> many slackware logos out there look really, really bad

19:13 <mps> is it possible from macos to remove linux and partitions to clean state. to be in state before linux install

19:14 <mps> i.e. remove stub, efi and rest

19:37 <lactose_> mps: you can use diskutil or even the graphical disk management

19:40 <lactose_> I want to customize the u-boot boot logo but I can't figure out how to do it. I'm looking in menuconfig but it's all very confusing

19:41 <lactose_> I tried to see what Fedora does but I couldn't navigate their package sources

19:42 Ty3uK has joined #asahi-alt

19:42 <j`ey> lactose_: are you sure you dont want to customise the m1n1 logo? thats the one thats displayed in the middle of the screen

19:42 <lactose_> Fedora still has the m1n1 logo, but it changes to the Fedora logo during boot

19:43 <lactose_> Not m1n1, the Asahi logo

19:43 <j`ey> u-boot is just the logo in top right, not the middle of the screen

19:43 <tpw_rules> mps: https://github.com/tpwrules/nixos-apple-silicon/blob/main/docs/uefi-standalone.md#nixos-uninstallation

19:44 <tpw_rules> would not recommend graphical disk management

19:44 <sven> yeah, the diskutil ui is really only made for very simple operations

19:44 <sven> the moment you try to do something more complex it gets very confusing or will just refuse to do something that should be possible

19:45 <lactose_> j`ey: I see, then I guess all I have to do is change the stage 2 logo to my own logo if that's the case

19:46 <j`ey> lactose_: yup

19:46 <j`ey> you can change the u-boot logo too, but I dont think thats what you want

19:46 <lactose_> Also r0ni, do you use u-boot as provided in Slackware ARM or do you build it yourself

19:47 <j`ey> lactose_: you have to build it

19:47 <j`ey> there's patches you need

19:48 <lactose_> oh okay, I'll build from the asahi source tree

19:48 <mps> tpw_rules: thanks. also thanks to lactose_

19:49 <mps> I was tempted to change m1n1 and even u-boot logo long ago but decided to left them as they is

19:49 <lactose_> Which tag do I pull? I see asahi-v2023.07.02-4 but there's a newer openbsd-v2024.01

19:50 <lactose_> I'm guessing that's an upstream tag?

19:50 <mps> u-boot 2024.01 is released today

19:50 <j`ey> asahi-releng I think lactose_

19:50 <tpw_rules> i don't know if that openbsd one is quite upstream. but asahi-whatever is the one in fedora

19:51 <mps> apple m1 u-boot can be build from upstream but I doubt it will work

19:51 <lactose_> the openbsd tags seem to correspond to the release tags from https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/tags

19:52 <lactose_> So I'm assuming that those are upstream

19:52 <mps> parts are upstreamed but not all

19:52 Ty3uK has quit [Remote host closed the connection]

19:54 <lactose_> Yea I'll use the asahi tags just to be safe

19:54 <lactose_> That's what I used last time and it seemed to have worked

19:55 <lactose_> I think I might disable the u-boot logo, I don't see the point in customizing it, but I think a Slackware m1n1 logo would be nice

19:55 lactose has quit []

19:56 <mps> tpw_rules: I have to repeat 'diskutil eraseVolume free free disk0s4' few times because I have more linux partitions

19:56 <mps> I guess volume is partition in macos

20:07 <tpw_rules> diskutil kinda can't tell the difference between the two. it's weird

20:07 <tpw_rules> there is and it does know. you have to say "free free" to tell it to delete the partition and not create a new volume there

20:08 <r0ni> lactose_: yeah, gotta build it, reminds me i had a script around somewhere for it, but its wildly out of date at this point

20:08 <tpw_rules> but it's not like in linux where the partitioning tools and the volume tools are totally separate things

20:08 <tpw_rules> (volume is really much closer to filesystem)

20:09 <lactose_> Ah, that's fine, I'll just get some more practice writing a SlackBuild r0ni haha

20:09 <mps> tpw_rules: thanks

20:09 <tpw_rules> actually maybe it's between a partition and a filesystem.

20:10 <tpw_rules> but to answer your original question, yes. as long as it's not an APFS container partition; you have to use deleteContainer for that

20:10 <r0ni> lactose_ yeah anything i'd have would likely not be relevant today lol

20:11 <r0ni> huh i just found it uboot 2022-7-3 so yeah... lol

20:12 <lactose_> The funny thing is I learned way more about Slackware while trying to port it than when I actually ran it on hardware lol

20:13 <mps> tpw_rules: not much intuitive for me but looks better than complete reinstall

20:13 <r0ni> yeah it kinda "just works" and unless you want to go wild, you'd never have to dig into it

20:17 <mps> and it worked, thanks again

20:40 <mps> I prepared first part of asahi installer for alpine, now have to create zip image

20:41 <mps> should the m1n1.bin be put to image or it will be downloaded by installer

20:41 <mps> m1n1.bin for ESP

20:47 <j`ey> it needs to be part of the image you provide

20:47 <j`ey> (see the .zip from before, the esp folder has esp/m1n1/boot.bin)

20:48 <mps> j`ey: I added boot.bin to to image

20:49 possiblemeatball has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]

20:49 possiblemeatball has joined #asahi-alt

20:49 <mps> I mean m1n1.bin for stub partition

20:49 <j`ey> oh right, no installer does that

20:50 <mps> thanks, lets try

20:52 <tpw_rules> are alternate install images being accepted or something?

20:55 <mps> tpw_rules: no, I'm building it locally for alpine

21:00 <mps> ah, got step2.sh

21:05 lawrence has quit [Quit: The Lounge - https://thelounge.chat]

21:07 lawrence has joined #asahi-alt

21:10 <mps> hm, got 'grub rescue' prompt

21:24 <mps> ohm, rootfs is wrong root FS 'nvme0n1p5 bad block size 1024'

21:25 <mps> and wrong gpt partition number in BOOTAA64.EFI

21:25 <mps> but I'm ok for now, learned what have to fix

21:59 lactose_ has quit [Quit: Leaving]

22:01 <janneg> there was talk about accepting alternative install images but there are no clear requirements for that. one thing mentioned was some sort of official association with the distro/project

22:05 <sven> I think something like curl alpinelinux.org/apple-installer.sh might be even better since that gives the distro full control over what they are doing and hopefully also funnels the users to the usual support channels

22:06 <sven> I’m not again adding alternate images either as long they’re associated with the distribution though

22:07 lactose has joined #asahi-alt

22:08 <j`ey> some could make an 'unofficial' mega installer

22:08 <j`ey> but also it's pretty normal to have to go to a specific distro for an installer

22:08 <sven> yeah

22:09 <sven> We could always just list the distributions that have their own installer someone on the website

22:10 <sven> *somewhere

22:10 <mps> this is ok imo

22:11 <mps> there are many distros on the net

22:20 <lactose> to build u-boot, i just need `make apple_m1_defconfig && make`?

22:22 <mps> yes

22:44 lactose has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]

22:53 lactose has joined #asahi-alt

23:10 <lactose> where should i put u-boot.bin in my package?

23:10 <lactose> Not sure where I should be putting it

23:16 <j`ey> u-boot.bin is part of the stage2 m1n1

23:16 <j`ey> so somewhere in /usr/lib64 I guess

23:16 <j`ey> https://github.com/AsahiLinux/asahi-scripts/blob/main/update-m1n1#L16

23:16 <tpw_rules> it gets gzipped then concatenated onto the stage2 m1n1.bin

23:17 <tpw_rules> https://github.com/AsahiLinux/asahi-scripts/blob/5126bf6ac925d4f54440b4c3d066100757bbe3b8/update-m1n1#L51-L53
