i see an issue on the hwe repo i think i can fix up but akmods is looking good

Surface doesn't seem to like this on hwe
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
hwe is very broke i'm working on it
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
wait where is NVIDIA_PACKAGE_NAME coming from? didn't bite me on bazzite, and it's not in that file
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
i'm digging very odd, because the main branch builds clean locally
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
@bsherman I think you're looking at an old build I re-ran them and it's already past what you were looking at
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
yep yeah, i was about to run the builds again and saw you'd started it the error was in the last merge commit failure but it's all good
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
FYI: ublue-os/hwe might need the initramfs build script added to it there's also a pending change from @EyeCantCU to sign the kernel
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
is initramfs now a requirement? i know i'm out of the loop... but last i knew (month+ ago) we weren't doing initramfs builds for main/hwe reason: it added weight for downstream bazzite/bluefin
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
bazzite does it and i know it works there, if you have any issues w/ black screens on KDE we'll know why GNOME was fine Bazzite skips the added weight by not pulling anything from HWE except a script we run against bazzite bluefin could do the same I suppose
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
so, we could not do it in main, because, well, it makes little sense
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
yeah, true
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
but do it in hwe if required
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
yep
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
would we need it for all of hwe or just hwe's nvidia builds?
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
might as well do all to make sure any kernel changes are in the initramfs
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
yeah, true, they are all custom kernels in that repo @Kyle Gospo you mentioned firefox has issues with 555 ... is that both the flatpak and host installed packages? or just host installed?
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
both
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
lame
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
it's a firefox issue, they improperly set the explicit sync frame lock
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
hah
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
and then the driver freaks out (as it should)
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
nice job guys
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
Yeah custom initramfs there would make sense. And for Nvidia it will also mean that early loading for them will be set
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
this was also the issue with gdm @bsherman

So CentOS could be killer for a unix lab. But we would probably need to make sure nfs/smb home mounts work
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
i remember RedHat Linux 8 desktops in a lab at school... gee... I think we had NFS mount home dirs on 100Mbit i think that was all brand new my senior year... we had HP and SGI unix workstations before

what? are you serious?
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
yeah, next build will get 555 stable
j0rge
j0rgeβ€’4mo ago
dude's going for it LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
hahaha F Firefox ? LOL
j0rge
j0rgeβ€’4mo ago
he's handled that
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
the fix is a half fix, xwayland firefox is buggy for different reasons but Mozilla is working to merge the real fix so we'll see what happens, I just won't let main build until then
j0rge
j0rgeβ€’4mo ago
is there an issue handy?
j0rge
j0rgeβ€’4mo ago
hey what's the tldr on this, will this autoslurp into bluefin?
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
yep, next build
j0rge
j0rgeβ€’4mo ago
like do we need to pin bluefin's nvidia images?
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
since it's in HWE yeah if you don't want 555 you'll ned to though it's "stable" (thanks nvidia) so your call on that
j0rge
j0rgeβ€’4mo ago
yeah can we do that? Crashing firefox sucks, especially for gts
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
well, you're shipping GNOME which still ships the x11 session so you can just tell nvidia users to use x11 firefox only crashes under wayland
j0rge
j0rgeβ€’4mo ago
OH cc @M2 sorry just needed the backstory, doing a work livestream so I'm a mess rn chrome people should be fine?
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
yes
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
yes they're fine
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
that's what I'm doing on bazzite
j0rge
j0rgeβ€’4mo ago
so we may wanna post + build to get it outta the way? understood
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
turn off our builds disable everything until mozilla is out this is a pain since we don't decouple nvidia builds in our workflows
j0rge
j0rgeβ€’4mo ago
yeah but if it's crashing only in wayland and that was already broken
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
fair
j0rge
j0rgeβ€’4mo ago
it'd be no change for nvidia users right?
p5
p5β€’4mo ago
Is this a new issue with 555? Or was it present in older versions?
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
well, it didn't crash but nvidia prior to 555 was complete luck of the draw if it worked or not for wayland in general
j0rge
j0rgeβ€’4mo ago
yeah and if we pin, we'd need to wait for a firefox release and those happen like every few weeks?
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
new, 555 adds explicit sync and the bug is firefox under explicit sync crashes
p5
p5β€’4mo ago
Ah. Was going to suggest Nvidia users already are on X11, so don't bother. But since it's new, we might care
j0rge
j0rgeβ€’4mo ago
ok so I'll post the message after work, then that'll be a heads up and then in the middle of the night when they update, it's kinda the best we can do?
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
if they're on x11, no bug no problem Wayland was previously broken for different reasons now only firefox is broken under wayland and that's on mozilla to patch
j0rge
j0rgeβ€’4mo ago
so for nvidia users, we go from broken to broken + firefox broken. So either way they need to be on X11.
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
from broken to working but firefox broken
j0rge
j0rgeβ€’4mo ago
yeah
p5
p5β€’4mo ago
Yeah. That's why I'm thinking don't worry about it. It's still less broken
j0rge
j0rgeβ€’4mo ago
fine, I think let's just roll with it, this is Jensen's mess, not ours. πŸ˜„ like if someone complains sorry that a 3 Trillion dollar company was unable to give us a better upgrade experience. πŸ˜„ Working on the announcement here in a minute @Kyle Gospo am I mentioning bazzite or leaving that up to you and nick?

@Kyle Gospo do you remember what dr. kleiner said in the beginning of hl2? "It's a red letter day Gordon!"
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
did you regenerate initramfs on your build?
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
no
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
this is needed @bsherman
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
so my confusion here... am i missing that hwe - nvidia already does an initramfs rebuild at image build time?
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
no we need to add that in hwe
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
ok, so if i enable initramfs rebuild on my host... do i need the kargs, too? or are they now handled by the initramfs
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
this
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
ok, thank you πŸ™‚ i shall tinker
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
for hwe, we should just grab our initramfs script in bluefin/bazzite and use that for all of the images. and make sure to have the necessary initramfs files
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
hhmm... rebuilt initramfs locally... i no longer get a black screen on tty0 at boot ... but... still GDM is xorg only... next tinkering step

bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
well, it's helpful for pre-building tpm and nvidia support and branding not sure what else
M2

Also surface needs its modules as well
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
right i can toss this into hwe are we doing it only for hwe-nvidia or also for surface ?

M2β€’4mo ago
Gnome not liking negativo17 555 drivers
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
Yeah, it seems like a vestigial rule anyway If we are going to nuke that rule, I would propose we do it in main, so even that would benefit when running on VM’s
p5
p5β€’4mo ago
For the uninitiated, which is "the gdm udev rule", what does it do and how would removing it benefit us? Sorry if it's obvious
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules GDM has a udev rules script that will block wayland given certain conditions. They are bizarre but make sense given thta gnome has been wayland first officially for years. Honestly might want to hop on to gnome channels to see if there is any reason the rule is still there
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago

Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
Honestly I'm open to just deleting that I mean they're going to remove the X11 session in 41, might as well take the Band-Aid off If taking that away breaks someone's hardware it was going to break regardless
j0rge
j0rgeβ€’4mo ago
That's the spirit, our whole schtick is be the first to drop legacy tech asap. F1.
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
Yeah now people who are single GPU are also running into it. The fact it blocks Wayland in multi-gpu circumstances is also bizarre But even some bluefin users which have the initramfs built are also running into the issue
p5
p5β€’4mo ago
Welp. I think I've earned the award for the most Wayland + 555 issues.
X11 no longer an option in Gnome, GDM crashes when I try to reorder monitors Scrap that. I cannot use Wayland. These problems are on X11 with 555 🀦
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
Try removing the udev rule in the build. I'm about to do a PR for that in main Plasma doesn't have the same checks
p5
p5β€’4mo ago
I have a 30ish minute feedback loop. Would the rules be overwritten if I simply add an empty /etc/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules? Thinking we can try this before waiting for all builds It did something. But made things 100x worse. Saw you recommend a symlink to /dev/null. That might be better.
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
Yeah. Basically the same idea
p5
p5β€’4mo ago
The empty file changed my display to what looks like 480p. Trying a symlink

Desktop Ah, so removing the file did fix the Wayland not appearing in GDM issue. X11 is the same with and without the udev rules - still can't change desktop order Wayland is causing the 1024x768 single monitor resolution Any requests for information before I revert my changes back to rpmfusion?

apparently you can't symlink to /dev/null in build time so this solution won't work. Robert, can you try the tmpfiles method before reverting your image?

fix: disable gdm's wayland checks by m2Giles Β· Pull Request #592 Β· ...
For some nvidia users, gdm's udev rules prevent the wayland session from starting. This provides an override to the file by symlinking the /etc location to /dev/null. Note, @p5 has experien...
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
Instead of removing it, making the /dev/null symlink with tmpfiles.d https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1087140903031943178/1256238611393806498 Seemed to work for these two
p5
p5β€’4mo ago
Will creating it in /etc/tmpfiles.d at runtime be a good enough test?
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
yepp just make sure that the /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules is still on disk since part of this is making sure the override works
p5
p5β€’4mo ago
Rebooting now. Rolled back and pinned to a deployment with that file still present, and created the tmpfiles.d entry in /etc/ Will let you know 🀞 Highly stupid question, how do I check the symlink worked? I can still cat the file and see the regular contents
M2

WTF can you try a reboot. I wonder if udev rules ran before the symlink was placed

Back to the terrible resolution. Maybe this is somehow expected? Do I just need to figure out how to change resolution without a gui, and I'm good?
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
maybe? you can do gnome-randr
p5
p5β€’4mo ago
that doesn't seem to exist. Only thing close is _xrandr but it seems pretty useless Or is there a way to open gnome settings on a specific monitor?
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
if gnome-randr isn't there thats a must add to bluefin what's happening with it opening on wrong monitor?
p5

The other monitor is blank and my mouse cannot seem to find it on any edges

This makes zero sense Is modeset set?
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
what image?
p5
p5β€’4mo ago
Custom and latest Bluefin 40. Tried both Sorry, how can I check?
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset You should get a Y (will need root privs) if it's set the other parameter to check if /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/fbdev which should also be a Y
p5
p5β€’4mo ago
Both N on custom image. Rebooting to Bluefin again to check
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
modeset is a requirement for wayland doing a 61-gdm.rules diff between bazzite testing and bluefin stable I get the exact same file. It was updated between 39 and 40
p5
p5β€’4mo ago
Ok.. will stay on Bluefin for the remainder of the testing. Should be faster than switching Both Y and no difference Honestly, probably something wrong with my install and needs a reinstall. Shouldn't be anything with secureboot being disabled on my machine? That's the only thing I can think of that's not normal
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
no secureboot if enabled and not having MOK enrolled would reject the kmods we build if off, the kernel will load any .ko There is nothing different in 61-gdm rules between bluefin-nvidia:stable and bazzite-gnome:testing so it's likely another thing changed by rpmfusion
p5

I'm half way through a clean install on a 1060 desktop. Since I'm the only one this happened to, I must have messed something up in my install

@Kyle Gospo @bsherman I'm leaning towards not moving to negativo17. We are clearly missing something on why it's working with RPMFusion Testing but Negativo17 is falling back to Xorg
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
this is why i wanted to test before merging πŸ™‚ but yeah
p5
p5β€’4mo ago
Slightly unrelated, reverting the custom image to RPMFusion 550 has the correct modeset and other value Installed Bluefin on a clean machine and running an update to get 555 now
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
yeah, RPMFusion is patching one of the header files in the rpmspec https://github.com/rpmfusion/nvidia-kmod/blob/master/make_modeset_default.patch While negativo is doing it via a conf file https://github.com/negativo17/nvidia-kmod-common/blob/master/nvidia-modeset.conf
p5
p5β€’4mo ago
That config file looks like how we're already doing it in our images. Ah, we're copying a nvidia-modeset.conf file from /etc/modprobe.d to /usr/lib/modprobe.d in the hwe install script So was that file already present anyway in RPMFusion?
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
Bazzite isn't having this issue as long as it's loaded in initramfs it works great
p5
p5β€’4mo ago
Thought there were some reports of missing X or Wayland? Or is that only main/bluefin
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
main/bluefin
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
We had them until I moved the modeset file to /usr I believe bluefin has initramfs building? Is it not doing it for the nvidia builds?
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
pretty sure modeset is in bluefin
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
must be in /usr and must be wrapped up into initramfs so it loads early enough the changes I made in the nvidia install script get everything in a good state for that

okay. Going to look in hwe

and then as long as line 58 above is present and the initramfs is rebuilt after that script is run you should be good
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
yeah, initramfs is one of the last things we do
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
main things for wayland on gnome were: 1: nvidia driver is loaded early 2: modeset is enabled (again, early) as long as both were true it worked fine load too late (ie, via the original location in /etc) and gdm won't do anything with it
M2
M2β€’4mo ago

once this builds i'll look at it's contents maybe we do hwe images for coreos since damn.... installing nvidia using the script pulls in a bunch of unneeded stuff.... guess I could just uninstall it but this will definitely mean we will have to sort out HWE for for nvidia build s
p5
p5β€’4mo ago
Would it not be easier doing CoreOS main images? Then we do not need the logic to install the correct kernel or install Nvidia in multiple places
Kyle Gospo

What stuff?
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
akmods signing key
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
Ah
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
actually that stuff would be there no matter what That stuff appears to be there in the image I see nvidia-modeset.conf and 99-nvidia.conf with the correct items from hwe nvidia-modeset.conf is in the initramfs and the kernel modules are there as well. I see nvidia-drm, modeset, uvm, peermem, and nvidia

Or did it not matter since RPMFusion changed the defaults values anyway?

Yepp just going to make a new PR or merge main into the PR branch manually
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
i'm fine with this and will comment on PR to that effect commented
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
Yeah, merge main into it didn't unstick it and a fresh PR also isn't running There is something funky going on. The synchronization just hit for the previous PR but failed Okay.... it's just super delayed for some reason but the checks are now running closed duplicate PR lazurite is busted lazrurite 39 nvidia. Everything else was spurious errors Asus 40 has kernel skew
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
@M2 yeah, seems both lazurite and asus-nvidia basically have kernel skew... i'm ok with a force merge want me to push the button? I'll take the heat for being the 🀠 force merged https://github.com/ublue-os/hwe/pull/258 and building hwe 40 & 39 ok, so with all these changes... now, i can test these images and make sure they work, but also... my downstream image should be able to use the same build-initramfs.sh script with no further custom file additions except to add tpm, and I'd be good... OR... we add tpm here, and we'll be good
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
Very nice
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
well, really, adding tpm to main and building the initramfs there would give us a reason to do it... and that would trickle down into this image, too at that point, the only reason bluefin (and maybe bazzite) would need to rebuild their initramfs is for branding, right?
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
Right But we also don't build from HWE I just borrow the Nvidia script from it
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
bazzite doesn't, but i thought bluefin did
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
I believe so, that would be a trivial change if they want to match what I'm doing though Then they're not wasting any storage space Obviously they can't do that for anything but Nvidia though
bsherman
bshermanβ€’4mo ago
ok, so i'll check and if we don't have it, create an issue to add the tpm dracut.conf file that you have in bazzite, to main.
Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospoβ€’4mo ago
But if we get fsync CoreOS the other hardware layers can disappear like they did in bazzite
M2
M2β€’4mo ago
If we do fsync coreOS that would replace a lot of images for us

let's start a new thread
