WoC | anyone got a link to an image for pinebook pro ? | 05:19 |
---|---|---|
gnarface | i don't think there are any official ones yet | 05:20 |
gnarface | if it's not up at arm-files.devuan.org you'll probably have to make your own | 05:20 |
gnarface | it's probably not too hard | 05:22 |
gnarface | was support mainlined in u-boot yet? | 05:22 |
WoC | idk, i have tow-boot on spi | 05:23 |
gnarface | i did it for a regular pinebook so i can help with general stuff but not specifics | 05:23 |
WoC | looks like i have to install debian first and upgrade to devuan | 05:23 |
gnarface | that would work, or you could just rob the kernel, kernel modules, and boot sector from any other debian derivative there's an image for and put it with a debootstrapped devuan rootfs | 05:24 |
gnarface | if there's an ubuntu one that might be a good choice | 05:24 |
gnarface | then if you wanted it would be easy to rebuild the kernel from the source package | 05:25 |
WoC | i don have that neither (rootfs) | 05:26 |
gnarface | you can get it easy with debootstrap | 05:26 |
gnarface | though from debian you might still need to install the devuan-patched debootstrap | 05:26 |
gnarface | if you need to do it on something that's not ARM64 you just need some qemu stuff - i can help with that | 05:27 |
WoC | k, ty | 05:28 |
gnarface | actually if you have a devuan amd64 system already it is pretty easy | 05:30 |
gnarface | i'll paste that section of my notes to see if you can make sense of it | 05:30 |
gnarface | here, WoC: https://paste.debian.net/1231691/ | 05:30 |
gnarface | don't just blindly copy&paste that, read the comments and ask any questions you have | 05:31 |
gnarface | you can *almost* just swap the rootfs with the results of this debootstrap command, but you still will have to set up some obvious things manually | 05:32 |
gnarface | namely you'll have to actually copy the kernel and modules into it and fix up the fstab and the kernel command-line | 05:33 |
gnarface | ... and the hosts file | 05:33 |
gnarface | networking... probably some other stuff i'm forgetting too, but just the little obvious stuff | 05:33 |
gnarface | (you don't need to chroot into it to fix any of that stuff, but it's an opportunity to do some preparatory installations on faster hardware) | 05:34 |
gnarface | i'm stepping away shortly but i'll be back later | 05:35 |
gnarface | if you're doing filesystems by UUID don't forget they change when you format or resize | 05:37 |
gnarface | if you're doing them by /dev/ node, don't forget they may not be in the same order booting as when mounted over usb... at least with the non-pro ones i think | 05:38 |
gnarface | something to watch out for anyway | 05:39 |
WoC | Thanks, usually by UUID or PARTUUID | 05:41 |
WoC | Weee, worked | 11:06 |
WoC | How do you switch keyboard layout in devuan, from GB to US ? | 11:07 |
rrq | "setxkbmap us" | 11:08 |
WoC | and if anyone has a GB keyboard... where is the pipe ? | 11:08 |
WoC | Thanks rrq :) how to i set it permanently ? | 11:09 |
rrq | not sure | 11:13 |
WoC | Appreciated though | 11:13 |
rrq | there is an /etc/default/keyboard with XKBLAYOUT | 11:20 |
rrq | ah; a "man keyboard" page :) | 11:20 |
rrq | though looks like that "subsystem" has had a fair number of helpers over the years | 11:22 |
rrq | mine is "us" .. then I have a tweak around my suspend locking to make sure it's "us" while i type my password, then restore to whatever it was before locking | 11:25 |
gnarface | no no | 11:26 |
gnarface | you use dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration | 11:26 |
gnarface | if you want to do it the "debianized" way | 11:26 |
gnarface | WoC: ^ | 11:26 |
gnarface | if you start screwing with it by hand you might break the distro tools | 11:27 |
gnarface | though it's probably hard to mess up too much | 11:27 |
gnarface | glad to hear you got it working though | 11:27 |
gnarface | on a new install you usually want to do: | 11:28 |
gnarface | dpkg-reconfigure locales | 11:28 |
gnarface | dpkg-reconfigure tzdata | 11:29 |
gnarface | these two too^ | 11:29 |
gnarface | (though note they may not be installed by default) | 11:30 |
WoC | oh | 11:34 |
WoC | Thanks :) | 11:38 |
WoC | now the tricky part.... upgrading the kernel... | 11:38 |
WoC | Linux Cursed 5.10.63-rockchip64 #21.08.2 SMP PREEMPT Wed Sep 8 10:57:23 UTC 2021 aarch64 GNU/Linux | 11:38 |
WoC | hmmm, custom kernel it is then... | 11:44 |
WoC | nvme speeds are horrible in this kernel | 11:55 |
WoC | to convert from the boot.scr, all i have to do is remove /boot/boot.* and create my own /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf right ? | 12:46 |
WoC | hmmm, sound too, to-do... | 12:53 |
gnarface | the extlinux.conf thing worked for me on a pine64+ board, in theory it should work for a pinebook pro but i can't be sure | 13:00 |
gnarface | the pine64+ 1GB | 13:02 |
gnarface | i think | 13:02 |
gnarface | still using boot.scr for my regular pinebooks | 13:03 |
WoC | ok, my manjaro install is using extlinux.conf and it enables me to setup the same kernel but with different options | 13:18 |
