[00:23] i installed a snap application called caprine (a chat client) on fedora. do i need to do something with snapd to be able to open links i click on in caprine in my web browser? [00:43] hey.. I'm using the vs code snap in classic confinement. I'm trying to edit a site that I have mounted via webdav. It gets mounted to "/run/user/1000/gvfs/dav:host=neocities.org,ssl=true,prefix=%2Fwebdav" and vscode throws the error "cannot open path of the current working directory: Permission denied". I believe this is due to the confinement preventing access to /run. is there any way to circumvent this or force it to allow access to specific [00:43] locations? [01:07] nevermind, i worked around it by using davfs2 instead of the Nautilus plugin (I guess??) and mounting manually to /media instead [01:27] cowsay_, yeah, gvfs is still an issue, see https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/difficulty-viewing-mounted-fileystems-via-samba-nfs-gvfs-interface/14680 [10:59] ogra: can i sometimes ask you some questions about the rpi4 - kernel, gadget and core image ? here i have two arm cortex boards and want to build an ubuntu image for it ? They are rockchip and amlogic. [11:00] i wonder where the ubuntu-eoan/debian.raspi2/abi/5.3..../arm64/raspi2* files come from ? [11:44] sdhd-sascha, from the kernel team :) it is one of the multiple snippets the debian package build creates its config from ... if you dont build for RPi i wouldnt care about it though ... [13:04] Thank you. I just copied and renamed the generic from arm for now [13:47] sdhd-sascha, you dont need to copy anything ... just using "kconfigflavour: generic" in snapcraft.yaml is enough ... then you can use "kconfigs:" to override certain settings as needed [13:48] ogra: i already start building the kernel. And as next step. I want to figure out, where to modify the kconfigflavour. I started with your raspi2 snap [13:50] currently i have `kconfigflavour: rk3318`. But i think the build will now fail, because i don't know where the flavour comes from. I cloned the "debian.raspi2" directory to "debian.rk3318/" [13:50] alternatively you can use upstream defconfigs like i do in https://github.com/ogra1/linux-multi-v7-snap/blob/master/snap/snapcraft.yaml#L31 ... with the patches from line 39 (https://github.com/ogra1/linux-multi-v7-snap/blob/master/patches/configs.patch) [13:52] (thats a rockchip 32bit kernel btw) [13:52] really 32bit ? Oo [13:53] yeah, arm64 on boards with less than (or equa to) 4GB ram is wasteful nonsense IMHO :) (others disaree :) ) [13:53] *disagree [13:53] ok, that's a good point. I didn't thought about the ram [13:54] :-) [13:54] (arm64 binaries allocate nearly twice the amount of ram for no benefit) [13:54] oh [13:54] then i will change it back to "armhf" [13:55] i.e. the core16 image on a dragonboard consumes ~90MB for the idling OS ... vs ~40MB on a rpi [13:56] u-boot i will took from here: https://github.com/rockchip-linux/u-boot [13:56] (dragonboard runs wpa-supplicant by default thats accoutable for the extra10MB over doubling it i assume) [13:57] ok - i hope one of the boards will work. The other one is a amlogic S912 [13:58] for a rockchip 32bit one i have https://github.com/ogra1/tinkerboard-gadget ... for 64bit there is https://github.com/ogra1/rock64-gadget [13:59] wow, i didn't found this. thank you :-) [14:00] from one device i found the dtb and dtbo. I know, i can decompile the dtb? But what should i do with the overlay ? [14:01] nothing for the start :) [14:01] i assume you have seen https://ograblog.wordpress.com/2017/06/13/patching-u-boot-for-use-in-an-ubuntu-core-gadget-snap/ and https://ograblog.wordpress.com/2017/05/30/building-u-boot-gadget-snap-packages-from-source/ ? [14:02] (old but should mostly still work fine) [14:03] thank you. Some months ago, i already experimented with rpi4 dtb and dtbo. But can't remember today :-D [14:03] rpi is special ... [14:03] thanks to the proprietary bootoader [14:03] yes. we want uefi ;-) [14:04] try to ignore it if you buuild something that supports plain ubot [14:04] Here is the thread for the rpi4 netboot stuff. https://www.mail-archive.com/u-boot@lists.denx.de/msg351580.html [14:05] Sometime i want to test netboot on rpi4 with u-boot. Without u-boot it works good. [14:05] oh, thats quite some work ... i started working on that once before i changed teams ... take a look at alexander garfs work https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=169982 [14:05] *graf's [14:06] netboot work work with core without some massive changes to the initrd scripts [14:07] Yes, in the past, i could boot rpi4 kernel and ubuntu root on nfs [14:07] sure, you can still do that easily with a classic ubuntu server image [14:08] Did you work today or are you free ? [14:08] but the initrd scripts of core make a lot of assumptions and do a very special mount setup to achieve writable dirs on top of a readonly squashfs that in turn lives on the writable partition (there are several loops involved in the mount process) [14:09] i'm off til mondy like most of canonical :) [14:09] *monday [14:09] nice :-) [14:10] (the company officially shuts down from christmas to new year for two weeks) [14:11] i read about that, on the forum :-) [14:11] yeap [14:12] I'm still looking for the right job. that's why I'm currently fill my knowledge gaps [14:13] well, i assume you saw https://canonical.com/careers/all-vacancies already then :) [14:13] Yes ! :-) 6 or 7 years ago, i already wrote to canonical [14:14] didn't get an answer. So i think i need to become better first [14:16] * ogra needs to go AFK again ... back later ...
