nemouuugh total hdmi failure after updating to latest stable18:52
nemoamdgpu seems to be freaking out although I'm not sure what the problem is18:52
nemowelp. let's see if I can get back to my old kernel. now what was it...19:00
nemoeither linux-image-6.1.0-22-amd64 or linux-image-6.1.0-18-amd64 I suppose. since those were the ones I removed not realising the display was messed up19:01
nemoPackage linux-image-6.1.0-22-amd64 is not available, but is referred to by another package.19:03
nemosiiigh19:03
nemoif anyone has any idea how to get that image, would be appreciate19:05
nemod19:05
jjSuper1Well that kernel image should be in the backports; what is the issue exactly? I am on 6.12.22, and amdgup myself19:57
amarsh04nemo, Devuan uses unchanged Debian kernel images, try snapshot.debian.org21:54
amarsh04then dpkg -i the .deb file of the kernel image that you want to install21:54
psionicmaybe they shouldnt anymore as its infested with shitd22:00
psionici wonder if any kernel hooks got in since for systemd or elogind22:01
golinuxpsionic: Are you volunteering to create this new improved kernel for devuan?22:19
fluffywolfI think that's a no.  lol22:27
nemohm. 6.1.0-22 did not help23:05
nemojjSuper1: crash on startup23:06
nemohm. let me make sure the tv itself is ok23:07
chomwittHi. trying to install emacs from daedalus-backports it complains that it depends on emacs-gtk (>=1:30.1) but it is not going to be installed (the same for emacs-pgtk ,emacs-lucid,emacs-nox).23:12
chomwittif i continue two steps more deep in the depedencecies i get to emacs-el that can be installed .23:14
nemojjSuper1: hm. you know what. I think it was just that the hdmi port was messed up.  I tested with another device and new cable, failed too.  it must be super-marginal since it was working prior to upgrade and reboot.23:16
nemobut HDMI is a flakey magical thing23:16
jjSuper1I would not call hdmi magical23:16
jjSuper1But test with a different screen for sure23:17
nemojjSuper1: switching to HDMI2 seems fine.  even on up to date kernel23:17
nemojjSuper1: the DRM part of it seems paranoid and magical to me and a soure of many a random error in the past23:17
nemobut anyway. it's working now. so. yay. performance seems same on this port, so far23:18
jjSuper16.12 is fine as far as I can tell.  Sorry about your HDMI port23:19
nemojjSuper1: if you're curious the error was a looped https://m8y.org/tmp/temp.txt repeating in dmesg23:20
nemojjSuper1: I was mildly suspicious since I didn't see anything prior to reaching linux, but thought mayyyybe the boot was too fast for me to notice23:20
nemoseemed so unlikely since it had been working fine prior to reboot23:20
nemobut again. *shrug* hdmi magical and weird and who knows, maybe something had been negotiated that persisted up to reboot, at which point the marginal link couldn't be maintained.23:21
chomwittok. i have used know -t do handle backport depedencies.23:21
