would it be possible for the surface-specific images to use the refind bootloader instead of grub? refind supports touchscreens, i feel like it'd be a better choice than grub on a tablet

Aalice would it be possible for the surface-specific images to use the refind bootloade...

I think that's hard to implement & requires a lot of maintainance

aliceOP•11/26/23, 11:58 AM

dnkmmr•11/26/23, 3:19 PM

are the maintainers aware that the bazzite image is five days old?

EyeCantCU•11/26/23, 3:31 PM

Yep. Not concerned. Lots of stuff shifted this week

EEyeCantCU Yep. Not concerned. Lots of stuff shifted this week

dnkmmr•11/26/23, 3:48 PM

oh ok. just glad you are aware. I also kept in mimd that the maintainers have life outside of discord and coding.

EyeCantCU•11/26/23, 3:50 PM

It's all right... I kind of see it like this - even if updates were pushed out only once every two weeks that's still more frequent than a lot of other projects

dnkmmr•11/26/23, 4:20 PM

yeah and most of the things that get updated when new images are built are from upstream

Ddnkmmr https://github.com/ublue-os/config/pull/161 can someone start approving this pls...

dnkmmr•11/26/23, 4:53 PM

I just need one more person to approve this then it will be ready to merge

ThatsNotMeta•11/26/23, 7:34 PM

is there more to this issue that's being done elsewhere? https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/237
I ran into this, and manage to rollback a pinned deploy but I'm not sure if the process is a bug or not in ostree or rpm-ostree, because it doesn't make sense and it's not documented AFAICT?

j0rge•11/26/23, 7:37 PM

what's the problem?

beekabop•11/26/23, 7:38 PM

that is because of the kargs

beekabop•11/26/23, 7:39 PM

booted images, setting kargs new image, and normal you only have two, current and rollback. so any non pinned deployment will roll of

ThatsNotMeta•11/26/23, 7:39 PM

i rebased to bazzite, it did a second deploy such that a simple 'rpm-ostree rollback' would not have rolled back to my previous deploy that i was at when I rebased

ThatsNotMeta•11/26/23, 7:39 PM

yes, the kargs

ThatsNotMeta•11/26/23, 7:40 PM

bazzite rebooted with this:

Initramfs: '-I /etc/crypttab /etc/modprobe.d/amdgpu.conf'

Initramfs: '-I /etc/crypttab /etc/modprobe.d/amdgpu.conf'

beekabop•11/26/23, 7:41 PM

yeah so to rollback you can not use rollback, but need todo a rebase instead

beekabop•11/26/23, 7:42 PM

at least not in the case where kargs have been set

ThatsNotMeta•11/26/23, 7:42 PM

I ended up doing

ostree admin deploy <commit_id>

ostree admin deploy <commit_id>

where commit_id matched the pinned deployment , but I still needed to do a rollback

beekabop•11/26/23, 7:43 PM

pinned deployments are in grub aren't they?

beekabop•11/26/23, 7:43 PM

oh i see

ThatsNotMeta•11/26/23, 7:43 PM

yes. I was apprehensive about booting into it with grub because I read that it would only be a temporary fix

ThatsNotMeta•11/26/23, 7:45 PM

if you can rebase into a pinned version, that's cool. I didn't see how to do that

beekabop•11/26/23, 7:47 PM

no if i'm correct you boot via grub into your pinned deployment, and then when you get an update it just writes a new deployment unpinned

beekabop•11/26/23, 7:48 PM

and the pinned one just stays there

ThatsNotMeta•11/26/23, 7:49 PM

.. because the new updated deployment becomes the new default in grub? makes sense

beekabop•11/26/23, 7:49 PM

exactly

ThatsNotMeta•11/26/23, 7:51 PM

or just any rpm-ostree install <pkg>

beekabop•11/26/23, 7:51 PM

i think you are right

beekabop•11/26/23, 7:59 PM

yep i just verified. i've pinned a previous deployment, booted into it. cleanup the now "pending" one, did an upgrade and it turned out exactly as we say earlier

It’s doing the same thing we are doing

yeah I thought I'd just point it out!

j0rge•11/26/23, 9:29 PM

https://github.com/orgs/Ultramarine-Linux/packages they've got a bunch of images too

akdev•11/26/23, 9:29 PM

The way they handle the imgref is way cleaner

HikariKnight•11/26/23, 10:58 PM

ok i finished making the changes to bazzite-hardware-setup to make it support user defined initramfs arguments and such.
if this is something needed across ublue i will gladly write something more ublue generic as i know this only was an issue with bazzite (with vfio enabled) and how it handles initramfs arguments for different hardware support
https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/pull/586
hope the americans are having a nice thanksgiving weekend
