<Retr0id> there's a memory corruption bug in the plugin loader that corrupts the file name, this lets it load the corrupted path (will find a proper fix now...)

<rosefromthedead> idk if my enter key was stuck or what, but my machine sailed straight past the `read\nread\n` in alx.sh/wipe-linux and happily (soft?) bricked itself...
<rosefromthedead> perhaps that could be changed to "enter 'yes' to continue"?
<nicolas17> fun
<rosefromthedead> indeed
<nicolas17> should have read the script before running it anyway :P
<nicolas17> can you enter recovery?
<rosefromthedead> i get the orange SOS led on the front and nothing else it seems
<nicolas17> what Mac?
<rosefromthedead> m1 mini
MajorBiscuit has quit [Quit: WeeChat 3.6]
<ChaosPrincess> try alternate recovery
<rosefromthedead> im happy to make my way through apple's instructions, luckily there's a couple more macs in the house, but won't complain if you guys can help me with a faster way
<nicolas17> > If you need your M1 Mac to enter 1 True Recovery (1TR), Recovery Mode, but that fails, there’s a second copy of the software required for 1TR “for resiliency”. To boot into that, instead of just holding the Power button until 1TR starts loading, you should “double-press and hold the power button”, according to the guide.
<nicolas17> > In practice, I’ve found this requires you to press the Power button twice in rapid succession, and on the second press, instead of releasing the button, hold it pressed until recovery options are reported as loading.
<rosefromthedead> wow yeah that didn't work either
<nicolas17> do you not even get the graphical boot picker?
kr315 has quit []
<rosefromthedead> ah, my hdmi cable is very bad - is it possible to get both orange SOS and graphical boot picker?
seb91nihel has joined #asahi
<rosefromthedead> the display i have here takes like 30s to come up so once i saw the led doing that i assumed it was still not booting
<nicolas17> I haven't had the pleasure of getting an orange SOS light myself
<nicolas17> but having those display issues could make this harder to diagnose :P
<rosefromthedead> lol yeah
<rosefromthedead> lots of stuff going wrong recently
<rosefromthedead> im gonna try apple configurator
<seb91nihel> hi, how to find out which disk in macos has the asahi install? So I mean /dev/diskxxx
<rosefromthedead> `diskutil list` i believe
leitao has quit [Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…]
<rosefromthedead> interestingly i didn't need to do the dfu dance to get the machine to show up in apple configurator, i got the option to revive it straight away
<rosefromthedead> well i sure hope it isn't possible to mess up the firmware responsible for this part because with the way things are going i do think i'd find a way

<seb91nihel> is it possible to unmount the disk containing the asahi linux file system within macos? I'm not able to do so...
<rosefromthedead> "which is in an actual ROM" <- that's reassuring. what threw me off was that the configurator is documented as displaying "DFU" to me when it was actually showing an image of the computer
<nicolas17> rosefromthedead: yes, in that case it seems you weren't using DFU
<rosefromthedead> right
<nicolas17> because the next stage in flash storage did still work
<rosefromthedead> normally i'd say something snarky about the complexity of it all but i think i have firmly lost my right to do that :P

<seb91nihel> sorry, but I have to ask again, after yesterdays ALARM update i broke my grub config (I think so). I tried to boot from glanzmanns live usb stick but I'm not able do boot in to debian from uboot. I'm also tried to mount the asahi partition in too qemu vm on macos, but macos will not let unmount the disks.
<ChaosPrincess> Install a second copy of asahi, use it to fix, uninstall later?

<ChaosPrincess> i think you need the " quotes, not ` backticks
<seb91nihel_> okay, I will give that a try
<ChaosPrincess> also, really just make a new asahi install, would be faster to use that as a live os
<jannau> seb91nihel_: ' is on the Ä key
leitao has joined #asahi

<jannau> but let's first chack why there is no /boot/vmlinuz-linux-asahi
<jannau> .de is qwertZ
leitao has quit []
<ChaosPrincess> also, maybe try mounting the asahi root from macos and seeing what is there and how the files are named?
<seb91nihel_> yes qwertz, i checkt with double quotes, but still "Failed to load /boot/vmlinuz-linux-asahi-edge" (and I used edge before grub config got broken)

<nicolas17> ugh I haven't updated my asahi in months
<nicolas17> hope that doesn't break anything
<TheDcoder> why is it the time to `--disable-download-timeout`?
* TheDcoder has not updates his asahi in months either
<nicolas17> I read that Arch and other rolling-release distros sometimes break when skipping large periods of updates because the updates aren't tested like that
<nicolas17> in other distros like Debian you *know* N -> N+1 is properly tested and supported, and you *know* N -> N+2 is unsupported and you shouldn't do it, but you always have the option of upgrading N -> N+1 -> N+2
leitao has quit [Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…]
<nicolas17> in Arch, if the current version of the package doesn't support upgrading from a 2-year-old version, is there a workaround...?
leitao has joined #asahi
<TheDcoder> not really, but it's not Arch's fault if the upstream packages removes support for something
<nicolas17> I know in Debian, "you can't skip Debian versions, you have to go N -> N+1 -> N+2" is not just "we don't test it"
<TheDcoder> I don't update arch on my rpi often either, but it working fine
<nicolas17> I have seen packagers actively remove code from postinst etc scripts that was only needed to upgrade from two versions ago
<TheDcoder> nicolas17: oh, is that like a technical limitation or a deliberate choice that they made?
<TheDcoder> yeah, I can see how that can be a problem in non-rolling distros
<TheDcoder> but such things are not present in rolling distros... at-least in arch that is.
<nicolas17> I think it's just a choice, Ubuntu does it differently in fact, since you can upgrade from one LTS to the next without going through the in-between versions
<nicolas17> and besides, Debian releases are so infrequent that if you're *two* versions behind you may be doing something wrong :P
<TheDcoder> The package manager tries to intervene as less as possible
<TheDcoder> yeah, there's that, lol
<nicolas17> I actually wonder how much Apple tests skipping versions
<TheDcoder> Their system is fairly standardized so it would be easier for them
<TheDcoder> also there are only a limited number of devices, so they can test exhaustively
<nicolas17> like, can you update from Mojave (2018) to Ventura (2022) without something breaking? did they *test* it well enough? :P
<TheDcoder> wait, isn't ventura supposed to be 2023?
<TheDcoder> I suppose they did, they certainly aren't short on resources
<nicolas17> Ventura was announced in June 2022 and released in October 2022, and it's currently the latest version
<TheDcoder> Oh
<TheDcoder> I forgot that the latest version is called Sonoma
<TheDcoder> it's been a while since I touched my mac actually
<nicolas17> Sonoma was announced a few weeks ago and will probably be released in October this year
<TheDcoder> crap, they didn't release it yet?
<nicolas17> they released beta 1 :)
<TheDcoder> I thought they might've since they made it look like such a big deal
<nicolas17> are you brave enough for betas :)
<TheDcoder> maybe, is there a catch to test a beta?
<nicolas17> it used to be that you had to be a developer with a paid subscription to the Developer Program to get betas (especially the first one), and otherwise you had to wait for the Public Beta which comes later, but this year they made it available to everyone
<TheDcoder> oh that's cool, I'll have to try it out soon :)
<nicolas17> https://beta.apple.com/ the public beta will be here
<nicolas17> I'm not sure what's the officially supported way to get into the developer beta nowadays
<TheDcoder> thanks
