13:56 <ndom91> hey folks, just powered up my M1 (original without HDMI port) macbook pro in the first time in a while and wondering what the status is with upgrading to 24.04? Last I remember it wasn't quite ready yet and it was recommended to stay on 23.10. Is that still the case?

13:56 <ndom91> And if 24.04 is ready, do you recommend just doing the normal `dist-upgrade`, or something else?

13:56 <tobhe[m]> 24.04 is ready, 24.10 not yet

13:57 <tobhe[m]> normal dist-upgrade should work

13:57 <ndom91> Okay great, thanks for the quick response!

13:57 <tobhe[m]> oh wait, do-release-upgrade not manual dist-upgrade

13:58 <ndom91> It looks like the following packages have an apt-hold on them - grub-efi-arm64 grub-efi-arm64-bin grub-efi-arm64-signed. Does that ring a bell to you?

13:58 <ndom91> Ah do-release-upgrade doesn't seem to care though. It's going ahead wiht the 23.10 -> 24.04 upgrade, woohoo!

13:58 <tobhe[m]> or update-manager for a graphical update

13:59 <tobhe[m]> ah perfect 🙂

15:27 <esz> Thank you for Ubuntu Asahi. Do you folks need help with packaging for 24.10? If so, how can I help?

15:33 <m3thos> anyone did tests comparing the energy consumption in changing the CPU power mode? I'm using `cpupower` and setting the performance governor + raising the minimum frequencies to the max vlues.. I use this for perf-testing/profiling code in Go, rust, C/C++

15:34 <m3thos> the odd thing is that I don't see signifficant perf differences in the simple tests I did so far.. I wonder if the arm governors (performance vs ondemand) don't make a difference

19:05 <tobhe[m]> good question. I think our kernel should use schedutil by default, I have never actually tried using anything different

19:05 <tobhe[m]> it might even be that those don't actually change anything

19:06 <tobhe[m]> esz: thanks for offering help. We are currently only missing a mesa build and pipewire to properly enable oracular updates

19:06 <tobhe[m]> those aren't really a lot of work, they just have to be uploaded

19:07 <tobhe[m]> something I we could need help with is testing the new mesa/FEX stuff announced in https://asahilinux.org/2024/10/aaa-gaming-on-asahi-linux/

19:07 <tobhe[m]> we don't have most of those things packaged up nicely yet but it would be nice if we eventually could do that

19:08 <tobhe[m]> step 1 is probably getting it to run at all, building stuff locally from github

23:33 <esz> It appears that FEX has debian packages and PPA: https://github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX-ppa and https://launchpad.net/~fex-emu/+archive/ubuntu/fex

23:36 <esz> Do you think reusing their build process will work?
