**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jul 31 03:00:01 2018 Jul 31 07:04:34 Morning! Jul 31 07:05:26 Some little news about my A1 progress: I'm now able to boot the system; it even start the Android container. However it still fails to show graphics, and adb still doesn't work, which isn't helping Jul 31 07:09:04 So far I'm still using the 14.1 kernel at https://github.com/ghpranav/android_kernel_xiaomi_msm8953 , with updated defconfig Jul 31 07:15:27 Morning! Jul 31 07:15:31 Tofe: OK good! Jul 31 07:15:36 That's at least some progress Jul 31 07:15:41 Any ideas what happens to ADB? Jul 31 07:15:47 Is it the functionfs again? Jul 31 07:18:03 well, in the logs I see that it switches it to the "Configured" mode, so it seems to work at least partially Jul 31 07:18:12 I just don't see anything from my PC Jul 31 07:19:25 Also i'll have to give your kernel one more try, because I don't really see why it wouldn't work Jul 31 07:20:00 They shouldn't be too dissimilar really Jul 31 07:20:59 Actually the kernel you linked should be very similar to the mido one as well Jul 31 07:21:27 probably yes Jul 31 07:21:58 the dm-0 encrypted thing and the bootloader just got in the way, confusing everything Jul 31 07:22:15 So how did you solve that? Jul 31 07:25:19 1. reflash userdata to remove any encryption, 2. disable dm-verity code in the kernel, 3. ignore the dm-0 boot parameters given to the kernel Jul 31 07:26:15 Then I adapted the PR for A/B partitionning for Halium... and mainly went back to having a usual system.img halium image. The PR isn't ready yet I think. Jul 31 07:26:34 Ah OK Jul 31 07:26:52 The dm-verity bits that were discussed in the halium channel? Jul 31 07:27:03 Where you patch some kernel source files (not very elegant but well) Jul 31 07:27:36 I still use my method (adding "--" at the end of cmdline, so that it ignores any subsequent parameter from bootloader) Jul 31 07:28:04 Ah OK, so you don't patch the kernel source like the other guy with A/B did? Jul 31 07:28:26 also there's https://github.com/Herrie82/tissot/blob/tissot-o-oss/arch/arm64/configs/tissot-perf_defconfig#L664 things like that to disable Jul 31 07:28:53 no, but it's better his way: with my method, I might ignore some important parameter... Jul 31 07:29:59 The best would be to deal with dm-0, of course. Jul 31 07:30:22 But let's just have a booting device first... Jul 31 07:41:37 Tofe: OK Jul 31 07:41:50 Still wondering why we wouldn't have similar issues on Rosy & Mido Jul 31 07:41:58 Unless Xiaomi changed some things drastically Jul 31 07:42:04 Or this is purely due to A/B? Jul 31 07:45:34 Well, A/B means that there is no initrd anymore Jul 31 07:46:45 Encryption might be fine, as it seems to be done at the file level, but that would need more investigation Jul 31 08:11:38 OK, well I never really got into initrd that much, so that's like Chinese to me :P Jul 31 08:11:48 So that means we need to use more of Halium, or it will work fine with Yocto? Jul 31 08:44:36 That should be fine. Jul 31 13:58:25 Herrie|Laptop: pong, sorry for the delay Jul 31 14:05:58 Herrie: pong Jul 31 14:12:32 novaldex: I don't remember, was it you who wanted to talk about Edinburgh? Jul 31 15:49:58 novaldex: Jenkins PR service seems down again Jul 31 15:50:09 Tofe: I think it was bshah who would go to some OS conference there? Jul 31 15:56:50 Herrie|Laptop: thanks, i'll take a look Jul 31 15:57:26 novaldex: Thnx Jul 31 15:59:20 Tofe & were talking about Edinburgh, seeing as I live fairly local(ish) Jul 31 16:07:09 Herrie|Laptop: PRserv should be fixed now Jul 31 16:19:14 novaldex: Seems to behave better indeed, thanks! Jul 31 17:20:05 Herrie: with your kernel it also boots. That's good :) Jul 31 17:37:37 Hurray, I got graphics working :) Jul 31 17:37:46 But, still not adb... Jul 31 17:41:15 Let's try to push that on GH somehow... Jul 31 18:25:44 Herrie: could you apply these two to your device repo ? https://bpaste.net/show/c7dd82955c34 and (more informal) https://bpaste.net/show/35f68e7808e0 Jul 31 18:26:20 With all the changes from the setup script, it's a bit hard to PR something :p Jul 31 18:27:37 Meanwhile, I had a power cut today apparently and now my build machine won't log in. Jul 31 18:37:23 Actually, my 200 GB hard disk was full. Hmmm. How big are these tissot build artefacts anyway? Jul 31 18:55:33 elvispre: not *that* big Jul 31 18:56:01 my ssd is 220GB, and has a Halium-7.1 build, tissot and rosy builds... Jul 31 19:33:17 Something to do with my power cut after all I suppose. Jul 31 19:34:26 All I've done to make room is rm tmp-glibc though. Strange. Jul 31 19:43:39 Tofe: So you build Halium on the same machine? Jul 31 19:44:33 I have been keeping those builds separate in case the pre-requisite packages might clash. (Admittedly without checking whether they do or not.) Jul 31 20:27:34 elvispre: yes, it's just in another directory Jul 31 22:10:42 elvispre: If I let my Ubuntu machine on for too long, it runs out of disk space somehow :S Jul 31 22:16:59 Herrie: :-) It's not something I've seen happen before. Jul 31 22:18:13 I've noticed it a number of times on my 16.04 machine :S Jul 31 22:18:18 Not sure what causes it Jul 31 22:18:27 It's a after soem days when it doesn't do anything :S Jul 31 22:18:31 Anyway I'm off to bed ;) Jul 31 22:18:34 Past midnight here Jul 31 22:18:38 NEed some sleep LOL Jul 31 22:18:50 Tofe: I'll check to see if I can cherry pick those tomorrow Jul 31 22:21:40 (Night Herrie!) I got my tissot build. (Just the configured recipes.) It was far more successful than LineageOS in that the installation itself ran apparently normally and I found some evidence of that on the /data partition later. Jul 31 22:35:01 That evidence being webos-rootfs.tar.gz and a populated luneos_tmp_extract folder in the /data partition. Jul 31 22:35:57 Presumably our boot.img got flashed to boot_a OK as well, but it just won't boot. Jul 31 22:37:16 Oh well. I know Tofe has already worked out some ways forward from here but it is good to try the experiments for myself. Jul 31 22:38:14 One nice aspect of a / b is that I am able to "fastboot --set-active=b" and still have a functioning android system at the moment. Jul 31 22:38:19 Dual boot! Jul 31 22:39:02 Anyway good night from me also.
