...And that's nouveau crashing again, at least according to dmesg. Might actually be the video card dying and nouveau just sucks at recovering from weird hardware blips. `chvt` hangs, `rmmod -f` segfaulted(!), I'm calling it. I have another identical card, I *think* this motherboard has some built-in video chipset that I disabled, so prolly I'll go rummaging. I'd blame the thing rattling around in a truck, but since the same error came out of dmesg before I came here, it's probably either "nouveau sucks" or the card is dying. Think I'm just gonna party on the DevTerm a while (thus the posting through the ssh interface, thus the lack of paragraph breaks), I don't feel like rifling through the boxes at the moment.

@pernia You just said you had unplugged hard drives and couldn't save files for 2-4 weeks!

@p all the working machines work, and the windows machine has been treated

@p but *i'm* the one with the broken computers...

@pernia As evidenced by me using a DevTerm to talk to the Plan 9 box to talk to the server on the rack just above the Plan 9 box, the server which I am using to run FSE and transmit this message, barring an actual hardware failure, all of my machines run fine. I have plenty of working computers, but one with a bad video card. The pernia setup, where there are a half-dozen busted machines and no working system (and probably a Windows machine somewhere), is essentially the opposite.

@sysrq @p luck of the draw

@pernia @p @sysrq
Mint is undervalued here, but let’s be honest, you don’t maintain shit, saar.

@pernia @p
Your computers are clapped and he's still racking up miles.

@p @pernia Talking about arm boards, how did you make the image you made boot? (this is the only thing i don't know how to do with arm)
-
@dcc @pernia Some of them are finicky about partition layouts so I start just using a dd of the first few hundred megs, then fdisk to repair the partition table, usually use the upstream DTBs but I did a build of uboot from a dev branch to get around a bug (and apparently uboot does PXE now and I have been meaning to play with that) so usually I just dump my own uboot in, make a note of the root partition's label and usually reformat it with the same label, then I've got a root and a /boot to put whatever into. It's kinda sloppy but it's fast and results in a working system.
-
@p @dcc @pernia arm having zero hardware discovery and relying on device trees is a real nightmare, vendors make millions of soc's that are instant dumpster filler because it's impossible to boot anything but the very few boards accidentally upstreamed by an unpaid intern for some sbc for it's single release that's years out of date
-
@i @pernia @p Its anoying but not imposible, so yea i guess i need to make my own uboot.
-
@dcc @pernia @i Them's the breaks. Weird time for computing.
-
@dcc @pernia @i uboot is easier to build than you might expect.
-
@p @pernia @i I hope so, also did you ever fix the key repetion on the dev term? do i have to install new firmware onto in?
-
@p @pernia @i I push m, gives me two m's sometimes. If i push . it stops, i push a second time gives me two .'s
-
@dcc @i @pernia Key repetition? The issues I have are, like getting the firmware built. I'm using the first version, which has some mouse issues but because it doesn't try to do the stupid scrollwheel emulation thing, still preferable to the third version.
-
@dcc @i @pernia Weird. I've seen some of the keys get sticky, usually you can pop the cap and sand it a little.
