04:18awilcox: hello, it's foxy again, here to try and make more sense out of endianness bugs :) right now I have a GT 520 (Fermi) in my power9 box, and it is somewhat working without any patches! the framebuffer works great and I can use multiple VTs and stuff, colours are all proper
04:18awilcox: starting X11 is very unhappy (AddScreen/ScreenInit failure, it says), and starting Wayland gives me a single EGL error. I showed one of my friends, who knows a lot about nouveau internals, and they told me to ask here about a CE error that is showing up in dmesg in early boot
04:19awilcox: [ 6.206437] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: drm: [DRM/00000000:abi16ChanUser] [NEW EVENT wait:0 size:2]
04:19awilcox: [ 6.206521] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: drm: failed to create ce channel, -22
04:19awilcox: full log is at: https://foxkit.us/linux/nouveau-dmesg-fermi-202411072016.txt
04:20awilcox: I'm not sure how best to debug this
04:23awilcox: that log includes, at the 40 second mark, my attempt at starting Wayfire, which simply said "Could not initialize EGL", however when adding some libgl debug env vars, I got it to tell me: command: eglCreateContext, error: EGL_BAD_ALLOC (0x3003), message: "dri2_create_context"
04:24awilcox: this is using mesa git as of about 5 days ago
04:26awilcox: I have been told that 24.2 may have broken BE (i.e. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/12048 for instance) but I'm not sure if that's the same and I haven't had a chance to try and build 24.1 yet
16:27virtualdrifter: Hi, guys.
16:28virtualdrifter: I'm trying to use the recommended 4 line xorg.conf file, but only see xorg.conf.d files https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/InstallNouveau.html
16:45karolherbst: virtualdrifter: you really shouldn't write an xorg config file at all unless you have a very good reason of doing so
16:47virtualdrifter: I'm getting hanging issues. On the troubleshooting section, that was one of the first and most pressed recommendations.
17:04karolherbst: virtualdrifter: it kinda depends on the type of hang you are seeing
17:13karolherbst: virtualdrifter: anyway, you could upload your dmesg somewhere and share link for somebody here to take a look or to simply file a bug
17:16virtualdrifter: It only occurs when quickly scrolling in a program - mouse works, but no other input, and cannot be pinged. I have a fresh install of antiX 23.2 with an NVS 4200M, and have tested on older versions of antiX. I'll work on trying to get kdump to work, I don't have a serial or firewire cable, and the link to the netconsole
17:16virtualdrifter: Appears to be dead.
17:17karolherbst: ahh
17:17virtualdrifter: I'll come back when I can get a dump. Dmesg didn't display any errors, unfortunately.
17:18virtualdrifter: More specifically, the cursor works, but I cannot interact with anything.
17:19karolherbst: maybe ssh would still work in case you have a second machine?
17:19karolherbst: though netconsole is kinda the best way if you don't have a serial console available
17:19karolherbst: there are sometimes packages available to help out with setting it up. Probably best to check your distributions doc or wiki
17:22karolherbst: virtualdrifter: haven't tried it myself, but maybe this one would work? https://github.com/ionos-cloud/netconsole
17:26karolherbst: and then follow the receiver part of https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt
17:27karolherbst: (might also need to disable firewalls to get the traffic through)
