It's building -j4 right now. But check out this output from cpufreq-info! ryan@rockpro64:~$ cpufreq-info | fgrep "current CPU freq" current CPU frequency is 1.42 GHz (asserted by call to hardware). current CPU frequency is 1.42 GHz (asserted by call to hardware). current CPU frequency is 1.42 GHz (asserted by call to hardware). current CPU frequency is 1.42 GHz (asserted by call to hardware). current CPU frequency is 1.80 GHz (asserted by call to hardware). current CPU frequency is 1.80 GHz (asserted by call to hardware). If it's running all cores at max freq, that implies it's doing real work on all 6 cores at once, not bank switching the performance / low power cores. I eagerly await comparing this -j4 build time to -j7 when it finishes tomorrow.

Building make -j4 failed after a couple hours. I ran make again with -j1 V=s to get the error message, but the build continued to completion. I think -j4 died because it ran out of memory. make -j2 completed: code:code:code:The Rockchip can do 2.5GT/s x4. The Samsung SSD can do 16GT/s x4. But for some reason the link is running at 2.5GT/s x1 which is about 250 MB/s. That's why 228 MB/s from dd was so suspicious.

And the fix! (probably) Rockpro64 PCI-Express Issue A sharp-eyed forum reader spots suspicious resistors on one of the PCIe lanes. Schematic PDF see pg 27. The offending passives are on PCIE_RX3_P/N.  e: but if just pair 3 was hosed, why wouldn't the link fall back to x2? ryanrs fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Apr 5, 2024 |

I mentioned I usually install a few extensions to take some rough edges off of gnome. the first thing I do on a fresh gnome install is install "Extension Manager" not "Extensions", which is similar but worse. Then I install - ArcMenu: nice functional menu. whatever your favourite incarnation of the start menu was, it's here and a click away in its prefs. Bind it to Windows/Super and it can take over from Overview with fast, accurate search and customisable quick links for some of the menu styles - No Overview at Startup: I hate the Overview thing in general and I definitely don't want it to be first thing I see. - Dash to Panel: Simple classic Windows style panel. Can group or not as you wish for whatever reason I never try to make linux Mac-like with docks or so on. they're all too uncanny valley  I removed some potentially identifying apps from favorites before screenshotting. also, don't edge shame me e: but not my name lmao e2: name removed shitface fucked around with this message at 05:48 on Apr 5, 2024 |

if you don’t wanna go full compiz but you miss the genie minimize effect from Mac, “Compiz alike magic lamp effect” gnome extension does the trick well. genie effect does have a practical purpose of letting you clearly see where your window went, even in your peripheral vision. it’s also real purdy

i used to use macos exclusively but i really don't like the direction the ui is headed in. so i started to use windows more, and then when wsl came out, i found i was doing most of what i wanted to do with wsl. plus i don't really like the direction windows is headed in either, if windows 11 is any indication basically i've been transitioning to just using linux because both major oses are finally in a lovely enough state for me to do something about it. i've been saying both have been getting worse for like a decade anyway, it was going to happen eventually but since i recently switched i know i can help people that are fed up with the other oses too, and i don't know everything there is to know about linux obviously, so threads like this sometimes help me learn. i mean, maybe not this thread, yet, but it has potential lol

Ugh, how do I make Rockchip's PCIe not suck? Going from make -j2 to -j4 only saved 19 minutes on a 232 min build, a mere 8.2%. And although the loadavg started out right around 4.0, towards the end of the build loadavg was barely above 1. As if three of my jobs disappeared. Some kind of forced in-order build? The last 1.5 hours or more of the build runs at 1.0 loadavg. For example, these targets appeared to build using one core only: make[3] -C feeds/luci/collections/luci compile make[3] -C package/firmware/ath10k-ct-firmware compile I'm not sure what is going on with the makefiles, but that single-core time is gonna Amdahl me pretty bad. The other big issue is the PCIe connection to the NVME. Tomorrow I will try reseating the PCIe riser and M.2 SSD. Maybe that makes more lanes appear? I can also do the motherboard mod. I can also try overclocking to PCIe Gen 2 speeds. The RK3399 was supposed to support Gen 2, but Rockchip submitted a patch explicitly downgrading it to Gen 1 speed, presumably for stability reasons to do with the silicon. But I can maybe change it back and try it out. I'll run make -j7 overnight, just to measure it before I start making PCIe changes.

Windows is next-best. Put your Linux in a VM (WSL is fine). Don't waste your life loving around with graphics drivers, wi-fi drivers, "oh, btw your camera won't work", bad battery life, etc. Linux is ideal for: - all servers - anything in the cloud - your desktop - anything embedded don't get me wrong, MacOS peaked with snow-leopard and it's been all downhill since then. but don't do a Linux on your laptop Poopernickel fucked around with this message at 10:01 on Apr 5, 2024 |

I'm pretty sure the SSD is worth more than the Rockchip board, ha ha. But keep in mind that while it takes 3.5 hours to run this build, the entire system is running on something like 5W. Right now with loadavg 7.0, I can hold my finger against the small passive heatsink indefinitely. Could a x86 run the build in 1/10th the time, using 10x the power? 50W for 20 minutes? Possibly, but probably not! And not to excuse the PCIe issue, but most people are running these things off microSD cards. 250 MB/sec storage is not a showstopper bug.

btrfs sanpshots, as it turns out, fully own. i didn't understand them and i don't think i entirely do yet but i installed snap-pac (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Snapper#Wrapping_pacman_transactions_in_snapshots) to make snapshots before and after -Syu. disk space usage is negligible and i now have HUNDREDS of snapshots. you can even just loving boot into a snapshot what the hell this is incredible. i can hose an entire directory of configs but roll back to a snapshot and fix everything???? i can even just loving browse the snapshots and pull out intact files i need. just amazing stuff linux is great one thing that did suck is that it's not entirely trivial to separate /boot and /boot/efi, so my kernel images are not covered by snapshots.
