welp
<riteo>
the power really fucking sucks lately
<riteo>
so much that it was my "can eat normal stuff day" and my fucking favourite local pub was without any electric power
<riteo>
for the whole evening

I build every firmware and I still cannot boot kiss linux without nomodeset :(
<riteo>
esotericwarfare: do you have an initramfs
<esotericwarfare>
Maybe it's the kernel version I use. I ran make defconfig and make localyesconfig enable every single CONFIG_... as core not as module
<esotericwarfare>
riteo: no
<riteo>
that's weird then
<riteo>
you should see the kernel logs somehow
<riteo>
there's surely some debug tool somewhere
<esotericwarfare>
I installed Gentoo and I didn't even need the linux-firmware to boot
<riteo>
even if that just means running "dmesg > /help.log" as root
<esotericwarfare>
riteo: I can write and I can turn off my pc but I cannot see anything more than "Loading kernel..."
<riteo>
if you can write then try doing that ig

dump dmesg somewhere
<esotericwarfare>
I can write my user and my password and write poweroff and my pc will turn off but I cannot see anything
<riteo>
yea but if you dump dmesg then reboot with nomodeset you can see what's going wrong hopefully
<esotericwarfare>
I paste there with curl --silent --databinary @dmesg.txt 'https://paste.c-net.org'
<esotericwarfare>
--data-binary*

riteo: When I run make INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 modules_install it says SYMLINK /lib/modules/6.15.4/build INSTALL /lib/modules/6.15.4/modules.order INSTALL /lib/modules/6.15.4/modules.builtin INSTALL /lib/modules/6.15.4/modules.builtin.modinfo DEPMOD /lib/modules/6.15.4
<esotericwarfare>
When in reality that command only has to output DEPMOD /lib/modules/6.15.4 without anything
<esotericwarfare>
I check the make menuconfig but I didn't see any M

esotericwarfare: did you disable module loading
<riteo>
you can do that
<esotericwarfare>
yes
<riteo>
uh it's not even fetching the firmware
<riteo>
that's weird
<riteo>
do you not even see, like, ttys even if you switch them?
<riteo>
the fact that it works with nomodeset is really weird
<esotericwarfare>
riteo: No, I dont see anything I didn't try to run sway tho
<esotericwarfare>
riteo: It happens to my running in virtualbox too
<esotericwarfare>
It happened*
<riteo>
gentoo says that you might need CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
<riteo>
or maybe just pass `acpi_osi="Linux"` to the kernel
<esotericwarfare>
riteo: I did that. I first add nomodeset but it wasn't working so I enable the CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE I tried with the acpi_osi="Linux" too
fitrh has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<esotericwarfare>
I boot archlinux 6.6 I think and downloaded linux kernel 6.15.4 and run make localyesconfig enable every single CONFIG_ but maybe I should download the same kernel version that I was using on my archlinux live
<riteo>
does the vga port work
<riteo>
I wonder if it's redirecting everything to that
<riteo>
I mean it should usually mirror everything to all displays but I'm really not suer what's going on
<esotericwarfare>
I dont have a VGA port only HDMI
<riteo>
uh
<riteo>
well that then
<riteo>
the kernel reports a vga connector too
<riteo>
maybe it's unwired
<riteo>
there's apparently a `video=` argument and I'm reading that some old intel users had to specify that manually
<esotericwarfare>
riteo: I run without nomodeset and without the video= parameter and sway did open but I have to write the command blind because I cannot see the TTY
<esotericwarfare>
I can watch videos con mpv with DRM from the TTY but I cannot see what I'm typing
<esotericwarfare>
with*
<riteo>
that's interesting
<riteo>
so sway works uh?
<riteo>
I guess the issue is with the tty then
<esotericwarfare>
yes
<riteo>
do you have getty running
<esotericwarfare>
the tty only works when I write nomodeset
<riteo>
yea but is it still running
<riteo>
even without nomodeset
<esotericwarfare>
I guess yes because I can type my user and password
<esotericwarfare>
but I don't know how do I check
<riteo>
well on sway you can check on htop
<esotericwarfare>
haha I need to reboot
esotericwarfare has quit [Quit: leaving]
<riteo>
I think I found it
<riteo>
printk: legacy console [tty0] enabled
<riteo>
nvm

riteo: Now I'm running sway again, I installed the terminus font
<esotericwarfare>
ps aux | grep getty throws me nothing
<riteo>
wat
<riteo>
what if you run it
<riteo>
as root
<riteo>
wait
<esotericwarfare>
nothing
<riteo>
getty 38400 tty1
<riteo>
or getty 38400 tty2
<riteo>
and then you switch to it
<esotericwarfare>
getty 38400 tty1 operation not permitted
<esotericwarfare>
as root
<riteo>
tty2?
<esotericwarfare>
same
<riteo>
uh
<riteo>
you also have a crapton of ttys for some reason
<riteo>
like 53
<esotericwarfare>
when booting nomodeset I only have 2 tty
<esotericwarfare>
TTY1 TTY2
<esotericwarfare>
I guess you're reading from my dmesg
<riteo>
yea
<esotericwarfare>
I'm happy sway works lol
<esotericwarfare>
I'll send a capture when grim finish compiling lol
<riteo>
fair enough
<riteo>
yk I have no idea how it works
<riteo>
like, what spawns getty
<riteo>
ik about some kernel settings though, lemme check
<esotericwarfare>
okay thank you for your time
<esotericwarfare>
In my /etc/inittab I have tty1::respawn:/bin/getty 38400 tty1
<esotericwarfare>
setsid getty 38400 tty3 works and ps aux | grep getty says that getty is running
<esotericwarfare>
but when I switch to tty3 it doesnt work
<riteo>
btw yea it was inittab not the kernl
<riteo>
yk what
<riteo>
try installing util-linux and switching getty to agetty
<riteo>
maybe there's something funky with getty
<esotericwarfare>
Okay installing util-linux
<esotericwarfare>
I think I already install that
<esotericwarfare>
but kiss do not detected if I install the package before
<riteo>
kiss l | grep util-linux
<riteo>
and you can find out
<riteo>
wait you don't need the grep
<riteo>
even just kiss l util-linux
LeoM has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!]
<esotericwarfare>
riteo: Oh right I forgot kiss list thanks
<esotericwarfare>
so yea I have util-linux installed
<esotericwarfare>
util-linux 2.41-1
<esotericwarfare>
So from the /etc/inittab I switch getty to agetty
<riteo>
yea
<esotericwarfare>
done. now reboot?
<riteo>
ig

<esotericwarfare>
now I see getty running: ps aux | grep getty
<esotericwarfare>
but I cannot use the tty
<esotericwarfare>
agetty*
<esotericwarfare>
should I disable CONFIG_FB_VESA? If I'm using EFI?
<esotericwarfare>
but I have legacy boot enable on the BIOS
<esotericwarfare>
i dont know if that has something to do with it

morning computer smoochers
<midfavila>
i'm so glad it's friday
* midfavila
dies
<riteo>
esotericwarfare: I don't think so
<riteo>
morning mid :3
<midfavila>
hi riteo :ooooooooooooo
<esotericwarfare>
I don't know then. Now I'm compiling firefox
<esotericwarfare>
hi midfavila
<riteo>
lemme guess agetty didn't work?
<esotericwarfare>
nop
<esotericwarfare>
its running tho
<esotericwarfare>
riteo: with or without the firmware the TTY never worked without the nomodeset
<kris_>
though they kinda unintentionally started the age of music streaming
<kris_>
snowball effect from them being tired of labels taking most of their money so they just posted a zip archive online and said "pay however much you want for it, is our new album"
<kris_>
which went incredibly well for them actually
<kris_>
like literally you could either have it for free or enter an amount you wanted to pay for the download and that was that
<midfavila>
yeah people want to support people who do cool stuff
