15:01:12 <pwhalen> good morning folks, who's here today?
15:01:12 <coremodule> good morning pwhalen!
15:01:16 * coremodule is here
15:01:20 * jlinton waves
15:01:30 <pwhalen> howdy coremodule, jlinton
15:01:50 * pwhalen gives it a couple of minutes for others
15:03:21 * defolos is lurking in the shadows
15:03:52 <pwhalen> step into the light defolos! :)
15:03:58 <pwhalen> ok, lets get started.
15:04:08 <pwhalen> #topic 1) ==== Userspace Status  ====
15:04:19 <pwhalen> Is anyone aware of any new user space issues?
15:04:25 * defolos has nothing to add unfortunately
15:04:40 <coremodule> nothing new her
15:04:57 <pwhalen> #info No new issues reported.
15:05:11 <pwhalen> #topic 2) ==== Kernel Status ====
15:05:38 <pwhalen> so, the good news first.. we have 5.11 kernels building
15:05:46 <pwhalen> #info kernel-5.11.0-0.rc3.122.fc34
15:05:47 <pwhalen> #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1667670
15:06:13 <pwhalen> There were issues previously with gcc11 and aarch64
15:06:47 <pwhalen> testing 5.11 rc2 on armhfp I was either getting a kernel panic or no output on the console
15:07:35 <pwhalen> talked with pbrobinson about it yesterday, we were hoping 5.11 rc3, seems not so far
15:09:25 <pwhalen> I'll try to get some output today to file a bug
15:10:13 <pwhalen> aarch64 seems ok, tested on a few SBC's and enterprise hw, no issues so far.
15:10:42 <pwhalen> Anything else for kernel news?
15:11:10 <pwhalen> #info armhfp kernel panic on boot. Needs further investigation.
15:11:19 <pwhalen> #info Please test and report any issues to the list or #fedora-arm.
15:11:41 <pwhalen> #topic 3) ==== Bootloader Status ====
15:11:57 <coremodule> pwhalen, I'll spend some time today playing with 5.11 rc2 on armhfp
15:13:25 <pwhalen> cooll
15:14:09 <pwhalen> so we have a new uboot build, but its DOA from what I understand. Use the f33 uboot to test the kernel/user space
15:15:02 <pwhalen> #topic 4) ==== Fedora 34 ====
15:15:13 <pwhalen> #info Latest nominated compose (today)
15:15:13 <pwhalen> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test
15:15:47 <pwhalen> not yet started to test this, first issue I see is initial setup didnt run in openqa. Will take a look and file that one shortly
15:16:04 <pwhalen> #link https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/overview?distri=fedora&version=Rawhide&build=Fedora-Rawhide-20210112.n.0&groupid=5
15:17:18 <pwhalen> looks likea few issues to look at in the openqa results.
15:17:47 * pbrobinson waves and apologises for being late
15:18:03 <pwhalen> howdy pbrobinson, no worries.. just discussing f34
15:18:21 <pbrobinson> so I've got a few things I'm trying to get to this week for f34
15:18:34 <pbrobinson> the aforementioned armv7 kernel issue
15:19:18 <pwhalen> thx, trying to get some output from it now
15:19:20 <pbrobinson> and a new u-boot build with a fix for the boot issue, there was a stable 2021.01 release yesterday, the plan is I won't push that until a fix is in place
15:19:38 <pwhalen> ok sounds good, can test that as soon as we have a build
15:20:16 <pwhalen> #info Fedora 34 Changeset
15:20:16 <pwhalen> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/34/ChangeSet
15:20:42 <pwhalen> in the F34 changes, this one looks concerning - "Scale ZRAM to Full Memory Size"
15:20:54 <pwhalen> #info Fedora 34 Change: Scale ZRAM to Full Memory Size (Self-Contained Change proposal)
15:20:54 <pwhalen> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Scale_ZRAM_to_full_memory_size
15:21:08 <pbrobinson> and of course the armv7 edk2 build for epel8
15:21:24 <pwhalen> ah right
15:21:57 <pbrobinson> so I need to double check but I think that's the ratio we were running the old zram stuff at before for the f33 change so I'm not overly concerned there TBH
15:22:30 <pbrobinson> I also need to write up the self contained change for armv7 uefi
15:22:52 <pwhalen> then definitely less concerning.
15:24:08 <pwhalen> That's all I ahd for f34.
15:24:45 <pwhalen> Anything else we want to talk about?
15:25:03 <pbrobinson> I also may have a fix for the rpi4-8gb usb issue I need to test
15:25:20 <pbrobinson> I need to put together a patch and a scratch kernel build
15:25:46 <pwhalen> great, let me know
15:25:55 <pwhalen> #topic 5)  == Open Floor ==
15:26:00 <coremodule> pbrobinson, if you need additional testing, happy to help
15:26:01 <defolos> 👍️
15:26:12 <pwhalen> coremodule: do you have the 8G?
15:26:25 <defolos> I have a 8gb pi 4 too, but had some trouble getting anything to boot on that
15:26:25 <pbrobinson> coremodule: yea, let me actually get a patch and a kernel that builds first ;-)
15:26:26 <coremodule> pwhalen, yeah, new acquisition
15:26:32 <coremodule> :) sounds good!
15:26:33 <pwhalen> nice!
15:26:50 <pbrobinson> defolos: it was booting just fine, there's some improvements coming for all of rpi4
15:26:53 <pwhalen> coremodule: did you get other hw?
15:27:15 * pwhalen just trying to keep track of what you have too
15:27:20 <defolos> pbrobinson: awesome, great to hear! Any idea when?
15:27:33 <coremodule> pwhalen, yes, I got a jetson nano as well... i think that's it
15:27:39 * defolos has a jetson nano as well courtesy of @mattdm
15:27:40 <pbrobinson> I fixed a bunch of stuff over the shut down but there's another bug, mentioned above, I'm chasing in general u-boot, I think f34 should look much better RSN
15:27:44 <jlinton> The newer BCM soc's aren't yet supported on the uefi port either due to the vc firmware modifying the pcie dma ranges
15:27:49 <pbrobinson> defolos: when I get the time to get to it ;-)
15:27:53 <pwhalen> coremodule: awesome-sauce
15:27:57 <coremodule> i think someone else on the fedora qa team was sent a pinebook bro
15:28:01 <coremodule> *pro
15:28:10 <defolos> I got that too…
15:28:14 <defolos> I have a hardware problem
15:28:26 <pwhalen> defolos: heh, I think we can relate
15:28:32 <pbrobinson> unlikely given they've not been in stock for some time due to a lack of screen availability for production runs
15:29:44 <coremodule> hmmm, I'll have to check and see what hardware he got. I know someone else on the fedora qa got *something* not sure what exactly
15:31:17 <pwhalen> Thanks for joining all!
