04:09:47 <ybyourmom> Does XgF come around here often anymore?
04:17:05 <klange> XgF is here under a different nick but hasn't spoken in this channel for some time.
04:24:46 <geist> yah xgf used to be my source of hard core arm bits
04:28:25 <mrvn> Do you map your higher half kernel to 0x80000000 or to 0x80000000 + physical location of kernel?
04:30:06 <Mutabah> I tend to do the latter
08:58:16 <klys> Mapping Table: BLK0: Alias(s): PciRoot (0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x1)/Ata(0x0) <- this is the only entry in map, ovmf's uefi shell. gdisk shows three partitions: EF02 BIOS Boot Partition, EF00 EFI System Partition, 8300 Linux Filesystem.
08:58:50 <klys> the EF00 partition is formatted FAT32 and has /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI
09:02:31 <klys> deleted bios boot partition, ovmf still does not see my partitions.
09:36:21 <mischief> klys: better off writing an efi program aginst edk2 and testing it yourself
09:41:56 <klys> this...is an installation problem. not sure I'd be able to run any efi program anyways
09:46:09 <klys> fdisk -t mbr /dev/loop0 and took off the active flag, seems to have fixed efi there.
10:07:27 <mischief> if you're in ovmf's shell, surely you can run an efi program
10:31:57 <klys> mischief, there was no partition visible
10:32:53 <klys> now there is, and I have grub-efi loading, and it says: Booting a command list Loading Linux 4.13.10 ... Loading initial ramdisk ... _
10:33:28 <klys> just freezes there
10:33:52 <klys> my kernel commandline was root=/dev/hda3 earlyprintk
10:34:01 <klange> https://youtu.be/0P34F7xRK5c
10:37:01 <klys> fun file browsing action
10:37:18 <mischief> no idea. once upon a time i had all that working, but i used the linux efi stub and not grub.
10:37:33 <mischief> i just typed linux.efi at the uefi shell and it worked.
10:38:50 <aalm> .theo
10:38:51 <glenda> This is not a conversation about your IPv6 connection.
10:40:30 <mischief> klys: map -c might help in the uefi shell.
10:42:03 <klys> I installed it this way: mount /dev/sda2 /mnt; mount /dev/sda3 /boot; ln -s /boot/boot/grub /boot/grub; echo "(hd0) /dev/sda" > /boot/grub/devices.map; grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/mnt --no-uefi-secure-boot /dev/hda
10:43:31 <klys> map -c shows the HD0a2 partition.
10:45:26 <klys> when I boot I have to do this: fs0: \efi\debian\grubx64.efi
10:46:50 <klys> ctrl+alt+del does work
10:47:01 <mischief> thats normal
10:47:08 <mischief> so whats the problem
10:47:20 <klys> freezing after loading initial ramdisk
10:47:44 <klys> I had initially suspected I got devices.map wrong on the other vm
10:48:20 <mischief> klys: if you put the .efi in the right place you dont need to type it out
10:48:32 <klys> true
10:48:50 <mischief> fs0:\efi\boot is in 'path'
10:48:55 <mischief> check 'set' command in efi shell.
10:49:15 <mischief> klys: i have no clue about initrd, when i was booting linux in efi, as i said, i had an efi stub linux kernel.
10:49:20 <klys> is there grub-efi support somewhere
10:49:35 <mischief> it was one fat efi executable with the initrd and commandline builtin.
10:49:46 <mischief> (was like 90mb >_>)
10:50:04 <mischief> im sure there's a grub channel somewhere.
11:01:20 <ybyourmom> GrUB is like a whole OS
11:02:52 <klys> yeah, and so is uefi
11:04:02 <ybyourmom> UEFI is like a whole OS
11:07:24 <klys> grub is from the strategic management department, and uefi is from risk management; grub-efi is just marketing.
12:17:08 <klange> yay desktop icons again https://i.imgur.com/hfN3Rep.png
12:17:23 <klange> this time implemented similar to how Nautilus used to do it, and Thunar still does: The file manager runs in a special mode to act as the desktop
01:01:06 <klange> Travis CI is building my release images again; here's ToaruOS 1.8.2: https://github.com/klange/toaruos/releases/tag/v1.8.2
01:38:31 <mobile_c> i need a standardized ISA description tool
04:42:47 <Jari--> howdy guys
04:42:54 <Jari--> rock and roll.. how is your OS ?
04:54:47 <lkurusa> good
06:08:58 * geist yawns!
06:09:03 <geist> with an exclamation point
06:12:51 <dho> just don't do it outside
06:13:04 <dho> also: your yawn was contagious :P
06:15:17 <geist> yay
06:15:48 <geist> i ended up staying up too late last night doing a for funsies schematic and layout for a 68k computer
06:16:15 <graphitemaster> yawns are a dangerous game
06:16:30 <graphitemaster> now I want to sleep
06:18:21 <geist> it is interesting that the concept of yawning is apparently contagious
06:41:27 <Shikadi> graphitemaster:
06:41:32 <Shikadi> From #sauerbraten?
06:56:14 <zenix_2k2> guys if i am not wrong, a MBR partition table can hold up to maximum 4 primary partitions right ?
07:09:49 <zenix_2k2> oh wait, kinda busy, be back later
