2020-08-25T10:23:39 #kisslinux <TDP> hello
2020-08-25T10:49:57 #kisslinux <lhoqvso> Hello :) Trying to understand the firmware loader... I have copied a couple of folders (nvidia and i915) from the firmware to /usr/lib/firmware and in "make menuconfig" I have tried to add the folder but I do not think it's the right way... it seems to ask for "nvidia i915" and it's looking already in /lib/firmware... Should I then copy the folders to /lib/firmware instead of /usr/lib/firmware?
2020-08-25T10:53:10 #kisslinux <mcpcpc[m]> lhoqvso: did u check the firmware wiki page? https://k1ss.org/wiki/kernel/firmware
2020-08-25T10:53:40 #kisslinux <lhoqvso> I
2020-08-25T10:53:45 #kisslinux <mcpcpc[m]> CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR and CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE need to be set correctly
2020-08-25T10:54:25 #kisslinux <lhoqvso> I'm on it but I'm not sure I understand it... sorry... but I'm really trying :) I mean, should I do it editing the config file instead of using the make menuconfig?
2020-08-25T10:54:58 #kisslinux <mcpcpc[m]> you can do it through menuconfig.
2020-08-25T10:56:03 #kisslinux <mcpcpc[m]> see section 1.1 of the article
2020-08-25T10:57:35 #kisslinux <lhoqvso> yes, I think I understand that but... if in a previous section they told me to copy my files to /usr/lib/firmware... but now is pointing me to /lib/firmware... am I missing something?
2020-08-25T10:59:18 #kisslinux <mcpcpc[m]> oh. i think thats a typo (on my part). lol
2020-08-25T11:00:01 #kisslinux <mcpcpc[m]> i usually stick with /usr/lib/firmware for all
2020-08-25T11:01:45 #kisslinux <lhoqvso> ohhh then it means that I should copy the firmwares to /lib/firmware instead of /usr/lib/firmware?
2020-08-25T11:01:49 #kisslinux <mcpcpc[m]> actually don’t think it matters tho. i believe they are symlinked.
2020-08-25T11:02:09 #kisslinux <mcpcpc[m]> yup. just choose one.
2020-08-25T11:02:28 #kisslinux <mcpcpc[m]> and make sure your config file is set to point to where the firmware blobs are
2020-08-25T11:02:40 #kisslinux <lhoqvso> mmmm give a few minutes that they called me from work and I will try again... for sure I'm doing something wrong (sorry, I'm very newbie!!)
2020-08-25T11:05:41 #kisslinux <mcpcpc[m]> ahh clarification.  all firmware blobs in /usr/lib/firmware/.  as best practice.
2020-08-25T11:07:42 #kisslinux <mcpcpc[m]> you can use my installation steps for reference: https://github.com/mcpcpc/install
2020-08-25T11:14:23 #kisslinux <lhoqvso> Ohh sir... thanks is not enough! I will follow your instructions and I'm documenting my steps too. If you like I can send them later so maybe between all we can improve the wiki :)
2020-08-25T11:24:59 #kisslinux <mcpcpc[m]> np. sure.  also, better to be specific on the areas or wording that “ tripped” you up
2020-08-25T11:31:45 #kisslinux <aosync> I wonder if firefox 80 fixes shitty webrtc segfault
2020-08-25T12:35:39 #kisslinux <konimex> I think I'll hold off FF80 until 28 aug (rust 1.46)
2020-08-25T14:54:20 #kisslinux <micr0> mcpcpc[m] would love to see the first few sections added to the wiki or install guide
2020-08-25T14:54:31 #kisslinux <micr0> (partitioning, formatting)
2020-08-25T15:02:03 #kisslinux <mcpcpc[m]> micr0: sure!  i could try to draft something up.  i didn’t attempt it before since it’s a pretty broad topic.  but i guess examples of various partition schemas would be nice
2020-08-25T19:01:36 #kisslinux <aosync> Does anyone know how to get curl-gnutls.so ?
