also, why does the kernel need to be patched?

FIREBATOP•12/1/23, 8:28 AM

The .bin files for teh wifi chip remind me of dynamic libraries in a way, shouldn't they just be plugins?

FFIREBAT also, why does the kernel need to be patched?

Kyle Gospo•12/1/23, 8:29 AM

the hardware is new, without those patches it doesn't even know to load the correct firmware files

KKyle Gospo on the LCD deck the wifi is a separate chip soldered onto the board

ChaiQi•12/1/23, 8:29 AM

Ahhh, I see

FIREBATOP•12/1/23, 8:29 AM

ahh ok

FIREBATOP•12/1/23, 8:29 AM

Well, this will be an interesting project for the weekend

Kyle Gospo•12/1/23, 8:29 AM

those changes will definitely get upstreamed

Kyle Gospo•12/1/23, 8:29 AM

with time

FIREBATOP•12/1/23, 8:29 AM

i guess I just need to get red up on how to do a kernel patch

Kyle Gospo•12/1/23, 8:29 AM

it just hasn't happened yet, so for now we have to patch it in

FIREBATOP•12/1/23, 8:32 AM

ah ok

FIREBATOP•12/1/23, 8:32 AM

any resources on how to patch a kernel?

i was going to make documentation about automatically mounting a secondary drive based on this thread, but then I read the thread and I'm kind of confused because it sounds like they did everything correct yet their drive doesn't seem to appear in Game Mode.... ok i give up lol. i should make a document eventually on mounting secondary drives with GNOME Disks and KDE Parititon Manager though. gn bazzite chat

Making a kernel seems suspiciously simple

FIREBATOP•12/1/23, 8:35 AM

LANG=C fakeroot debian/rules clean
# quicker build:
LANG=C fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic binary-perarch
# if you need linux-tools or lowlatency kernel, run instead:

@KyleGospo Has that kernel patch and firmware been tested for functionality?

FIREBATOP•12/1/23, 8:40 AM

even at this early state?

FFIREBAT @KyleGospo Has that kernel patch and firmware been tested for functionality?

Kyle Gospo•12/1/23, 8:41 AM

SteamOS is the test, the sources I sent are SteamOS's source

Kyle Gospo•12/1/23, 8:41 AM

works there

FIREBATOP•12/1/23, 8:44 AM

hmm

FIREBATOP•12/1/23, 8:44 AM

so it shohuld work in my GNOME distro then, perhaps?

FIREBATOP•12/1/23, 8:44 AM

I just need to drop the bin files in the right folder..

FIREBATOP•12/1/23, 8:44 AM

and the run the patch

FIREBATOP•12/1/23, 8:44 AM

ok, but im still a bit confused on how to actulaly get the patch data

Kyle Gospo•12/1/23, 8:45 AM

I sent you a series of commits, you'll apply these against your distro's kernel source

Kyle Gospo•12/1/23, 8:45 AM

build the kernel

Kyle Gospo•12/1/23, 8:45 AM

and install your custom built kernel

Kyle Gospo•12/1/23, 8:45 AM

not gonna be easy, but there's lots of resources out there

pintocat•12/1/23, 8:45 AM

I've been using kde. Are gnome extensions prone to breaking on gnome updates? I had one machine on gnome and I think it wasn't just an automatic thing for gnome extensions to update. And does dolphin work well in gnome?

Kyle Gospo•12/1/23, 8:45 AM

dolphin the emulator or dolphin the file browser?

Kyle Gospo•12/1/23, 8:46 AM

they can break between updates, most recent one broke every single extension in the interest of future compatibility

pintocat•12/1/23, 8:46 AM

File browser

FFIREBAT ok, but im still a bit confused on how to actulaly get the patch data

tryhardsoccermomswag•12/1/23, 8:46 AM

if you wait a little while you can eventually install

bazzite-deck-gnome

bazzite-deck-gnome

on the OLED in the future

Kyle Gospo•12/1/23, 8:46 AM

yeah it works well enough

pintocat•12/1/23, 8:46 AM

Not really a fan of nautilus:p

Kyle Gospo•12/1/23, 8:46 AM

that's funny, we're the opposite

Kyle Gospo•12/1/23, 8:46 AM

I love KDE but I just think gnome looks better, the file browser is the biggest one for me

FIREBATOP•12/1/23, 8:46 AM

i literally can't wait knowing the only thing keeping me between running full GNOME today is a measly patch

FIREBATOP•12/1/23, 8:47 AM

But i've never done it before

FIREBATOP•12/1/23, 8:47 AM

FIREBATOP•12/1/23, 8:47 AM

isn't the kernel compiled?

FFIREBAT isn't the kernel compiled?

Kyle Gospo•12/1/23, 8:47 AM

yes, you'll have to do that after you apply the patch

FIREBATOP•12/1/23, 8:48 AM

oh, so ill have to install the kernal source code entirely, then

FIREBATOP•12/1/23, 8:48 AM

Can i just git clone the current version from gitlab?

FIREBATOP•12/1/23, 8:48 AM

i assume that will have all the right patches

Kyle Gospo•12/1/23, 8:49 AM

if you're building for ubuntu, you want ubuntu's kernel sources

Kyle Gospo•12/1/23, 8:49 AM

the guide I sent you should cover that

Kyle Gospo•12/1/23, 8:49 AM

definitely match version

Kyle Gospo•12/1/23, 8:49 AM

note that you won't have functioning HDR on ubuntu, you need even more kernel patches & patches in gamescope & mesa

LANG=C fakeroot debian/rules clean # quicker build: LANG=C fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic binary-perarch # if you need linux-tools or lowlatency kernel, run instead: LANG=C fakeroot debian/rules binary

also, why does the kernel need to be patched?
