| 07:18 | jnettlet[m]> | So after this last trip I decided I finally had to dig into my laptop battery issues. Figure out who is screwing this up. |
| 07:18 | jnettlet[m]> | design capacity 7570 mAh, last full capacity 3730 mAh |
| 07:19 | jnettlet[m]> | so is it Dell with a bios issue, or is it the linux kernel? |
| 07:32 | jnettlet[m]> | and survey says....Dell bios. I had run their battery diagnostics and everything reported the battery in good condition. I just reflashed the latest BIOS and then reset everything to the defaults....reboot and my battery condition is now at fair. |
| 07:33 | jnettlet[m]> | thanks Dell |

| 15:25 | suihkulokki> | efi & installer for installing debian to mcbin |
| 15:25 | suihkulokki> | items still to do: 1) get the kernel to a repo, so nobody needs to install that kernel.deb manually |
| 15:26 | suihkulokki> | 2) find out why installing the efi boot menu entry fails |
| 15:47 | Ke> | suihkulokki: are you booting from sdcard? |
| 15:48 | Ke> | I also noted that EFI variables are not saved persistently, even if you make them persistent |
| 16:32 | Ke> | suihkulokki: btw. which kernel are you using |
| 16:32 | Ke> | only kernel I get to boot is marvell linux-4.4 |
| 16:38 | suihkulokki> | Ke: 4.14-rcX with debian config |
| 16:38 | Ke> | gah, mcbin just hates me =o( |
| 16:38 | suihkulokki> | Ke: yeah, uefi on sd card (quite brick safe) |
| 16:38 | Ke> | that's basically what I am using, though without extra drivers |
| 16:39 | Ke> | suihkulokki: try setting nvram values and see, if they are preserved |
| 16:39 | suihkulokki> | Ke: I'll poke people how storing efivars is supposed to work |
| 16:40 | Ke> | suihkulokki: I guess you have only used uefi boot, as where I use booti |
| 16:40 | Ke> | suihkulokki: there is help in efi shell |
| 16:40 | Ke> | it was quite obvious |
| 16:40 | Ke> | suihkulokki: you can also mount the efivars and create/remove files |
| 16:41 | Ke> | from linux side |
| 16:41 | Ke> | I believe it's just something like echo yay > /sys/efi/vars/awesome |
| 17:38 | Artox> | suihkulokki, very nice |
| 17:39 | Artox> | does that deb havea modified .config from linux-image-arm64? |
| 17:40 | Artox> | or is it straight from experimental |
| 17:41 | Artox> | if you have a useable .dsc, and .tar.something, we can publish the deb on https://repo.solid-build.xyz/ |
| 19:08 | vpeter> | jnettlet[m]: Seems https://github.com/SolidRun/lede-project sr branch is again friendly with my compex wifi card. Seems now it is again recognized. On june it was not recognized. Even with pci bus rescan. |
