konafreemangordon: i extracted the contents and control file of the modest-providers deb you linked to me, and i guess i am to follow the notes here https://leste.maemo.org/Development/Building_Packages ?06:55
konai'm not sure what to do about the lack of upstream, i suppose we need a new repo and then to package from that?06:57
freemangordoncreate new git repo in your github space, I'll push it to leste when it is ready07:25
freemangordonkona: ^^^07:26
freemangordonall you need basic debian/ stuff (control, changelog, rules, install, compat)07:35
freemangordonif you have never dne debian packaging and don;t want to learn, LMK, I'll do it07:36
konaI want to learn,  but I don't want to hold you up.07:40
konaWill create a new repo in my github :)07:41
konaAfter sleep!07:41
freemangordonok :)07:41
Wizzupkona: what might make sense is to look at some other packages we did10:22
Wizzupfor example, see the 'initial commit' here which is just the tar file, and then various commits to modernise debian/ dir https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/gpsrecorder/commits/master10:22
Wizzupmostly just this though https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/gpsrecorder/commit/e7c96e374c0ff3370f8782120e729ab9b8538239 and https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/gpsrecorder/commit/eab93cd8427c8bde81140b72dedb59df4085a3ab10:23
freemangordonWizzup: not really applicable, as this is a binary package we want one data file from16:03
Wizzupok16:04
Wizzupin any case I'm happy to help real time if it makes sense16:04
freemangordonme too16:15
dgamer69why does the maemo leste vm take ages to boot up?20:04
konaages?20:04
dgamer69I've been waiting for like three minutes20:05
dgamer69I rebooted it with more threads and memory20:05
dgamer69but it's still so sloooow20:05
konaamd64?20:05
dgamer69qemu-system-x86_64 -hda maemo-leste-1.0-amd64-20210926.qcow2 -m 4G -smp $(nproc)20:05
dgamer69(command I used)20:05
konahost is also amd64?20:05
dgamer69yeah20:05
dgamer69I think the mouse finally showed up20:06
dgamer69:D it booted!20:06
konahmm. i haven't tried it with qemu, but it seems pretty fast for me in virtualbox20:06
dgamer69huh20:06
konabut for virtualbox i have to disable pointer integration or the mouse cursor never shows :)20:06
dgamer69mouse cursor showed for me without any extra settigns20:06
konaexcellent :)20:07
dgamer69yeah!20:07
parazyddgamer69: -enable-kvm20:08
dgamer69lemme try that20:09
dgamer69qemu-system-x86_64: invalid accelerator kvm20:09
konaoh, good call20:10
dgamer69no worky :(20:11
konawhich host os?20:11
dgamer69macos20:11
dgamer69I'm using my school mac lmao20:11
uvosdgamer69: you lack the kvm kernel module or your cpu lacks vm extensions ie its a intel part (low end) or its disabled in bios20:11
uvosyour host is macos?20:12
dgamer69Intel i5-5350U (4) @ 1.80GHz20:12
dgamer69yes20:12
uvosit its not a mac runing linux?20:12
dgamer69I can't20:12
dgamer69the bootloader is locked by the school20:12
uvosok now idea how/if hw accelerated vms work on macs20:12
uvoskvm is linux specific20:12
dgamer69oh gotcha20:13
uvoswithout hw accel of some kind the vm will be very slow20:13
uvosthere is nothing you can do about that20:13
dgamer69dang20:13
dgamer69my lima instance is faster than my computer though20:13
dgamer69it runs ubuntu server, headless20:14
dgamer69sshed in automatically20:14
dgamer69for some reason it compiles faster than my host os20:14
uvoslooks like the cpu supports hw accel at least20:14
uvosbut no idea how to use it on macos20:14
Wizzupdgamer69: you need to use kvm accel, you might need to specify it20:14
dgamer69I already tried that20:15
uvosWizzup: kvm is linux specific20:15
uvoshe is on macos20:15
Wizzupadd -enable-kvm20:15
Wizzupoh..20:15
Wizzupyeah then maybe use virtualbox20:15
dgamer69I can't20:15
dgamer69I'm on my school mac20:15
Wizzupaha20:15
Wizzupthey do not allow virtualbox?20:15
dgamer69I tried installing it20:15
dgamer69basically they tried to not allow any third party applications20:16
uvosbut qemu20:16
uvosokay...20:16
uvosLD20:16
dgamer69but did so by locking the applications folder20:16
Wizzuplame20:16
uvos*:D20:16
dgamer69and that's it20:16
dgamer69so all you have to do is move your apps to the desktop lmao20:16
dgamer69even homebrew works fine20:16
dgamer69which is how I installed qemu20:16
uvosok20:16
uvosseams silly20:16
dgamer69but virtualbox does not let you pick a directory20:16
dgamer69yeah20:16
dgamer69our schools it has 2 iq20:17
dgamer69I use tor to go around school netowrk restrictions lmao20:17
Wizzupleste has tor integrated :)20:17
dgamer69really?20:17
dgamer69thats cool20:17
uvosmaybe its a 200iq move20:17
Wizzuphttps://leste.maemo.org/Tor20:17
uvosmake students lern about tech by forceing them to find soltions to locks :P20:17
dgamer69lmao20:18
dgamer69thoretically you could unlock the bootloader20:18
dgamer69but the only method I know of risks frying the mobo20:18
dgamer69I can even run pidgin from terminal20:19
konadgamer69: haven't tried it myself but this might help with perf https://github.com/knazarov/homebrew-qemu-virgl20:20
dgamer69installing right now20:25
dgamer69I swear, google has NOTHING on irc20:25
konai found it via DDG20:25
dgamer69I come with some obscure tech problem, complain about it, and them someone pulls a link out of their ass that is exactly what I'm looking for20:25
dgamer69whats ddg20:25
dgamer69tell me wizard20:25
konaduck duck go :)20:25
dgamer69oh20:25
dgamer69I use searx20:26
konacool20:26
dgamer69you know20:40
dgamer69theoretically20:40
dgamer69I might be able to run steam games under qemu now20:40
konadid the leste vm boot faster?20:41
dgamer69I'm stil installing the 3d accelorator thingy20:41
konaoh, hmm.20:42
dgamer69I'm compiling on a cpu with 2 cores20:42
dgamer69it might be a little while20:42
dgamer69not to mention I'm on battery20:42
dgamer69still compiling lmao21:24
Wizzupas a gentoo user, sounds familiar21:28
uvoshow do you identify a gentoo user?21:30
uvosno gas bill.21:30
Wizzupbasically true for me, but I can just stand cold21:30
Wizzupuvos: so is it possible that you run some kernel that's different that made audio calls work for you but not for me and sicelo?21:51
siceloi did have working calls in the past with my own audio config. maybe the issue is ucm related? i wasn't using that then22:05
siceloanyway, just speaking off my head. haven't done proper testing22:05
uvosWizzup: i just hardcoded some register values in my kernel yes23:06
uvosWizzup: this makes ucm partially impotent23:06
uvosso yeah23:06
uvosbut note that it dosent really work anyhow23:06
uvosas soon as you switch away from hifi all DAPM widgets are immidatly disconnected from power23:07
uvosthis sets a bounch of registers in cpcap to turn off various hw devices23:07
uvosthe fact that anything works at all is essentaly UB in cpcap hw23:08
Wizzupheh23:25
