What do you mean "someone has to load u-boot", on my systems there is code in MaskROM on SOC that loads U-Boot SPL yes but it is the initial code I control that is loaded I mean exactly that code. That chunk of code is the one equivalent to EFI or BIOS. Open or closed source doesn't matter, just the setup it does. You can load open source EFI and BIOS too. | 23:37:51 |
 srr24x7 | No the name was literally "Das U-Boot" | 23:37:59 |
| srr24x7 | Although often shortend to simply "U-Boot" | 23:38:13 |

I really do not think the code in MaskROM on my systems is in any way comparable to UEFI or BIOS as it literally does next to no init of hardware, all it can do is try to find U-Boot SPL and load it | 23:40:26 |
| midgardian | And yes if matters if it is libre cuz then you can audit it | 23:40:27 |

| midgardian | You can have UEFI implemtations though, I am unconvinced as to why you would want that | 23:41:37 |

also does it not matter what partition label type you have?? Like msdos vs. gpt vs. bsd vs. amiga vs. mac vs. atari vs. aix etc.? Nico|dev since you were talking about contents of boot sectors, do you know the difference in content based on these listed partition label types? You said it matters if you have BIOS or UEFI, but I am not sure that is true, doesnt the partition label type change contents of the boot sector? | 23:43:02 |

Yeah, you can read it up on wikipedia or so | 23:43:34 |

Yeah, you can read it up on wikipedia or so what article? | 23:43:47 |
| Nico|dev | Probably about the partition types | 23:44:02 |
| midgardian | In reply to @deepbluev7:neko.dev
Yeah, you can read it up on wikipedia or so also I asked multiple questions, which is "Yeah"...? | 23:44:07 |
| Nico|dev | Or the boot firmwares | 23:44:14 |
| midgardian | Nico|dev Hmmmm Nheko seems to totally fail when my connection drops or proxy software hiccups and cannot reconnect, so I have to kill the entire process, do you know about this? | 23:56:41 |

Nico|dev Hmmmm Nheko seems to totally fail when my connection drops or proxy software hiccups and cannot reconnect, so I have to kill the entire process, do you know about this? No, that shouldn't happen in newer versions | 23:58:12 |
| Nico|dev | (But it might take up to 1min to reconnect) | 23:58:22 |
| 27 May 2022 |
| midgardian | Nico|dev okay I waited over a minute but not only did it not reconnect the entire UI froze and I could not click or scroll at all | 00:18:43 |
| srr24x7 | What version are you using? | 00:29:58 |
| srr24x7 | Nico|dev When I go to the image pack settings in some random room and have a look at my packs, is there a way to figure out which pack is from what room? Don't see any indicator nor could I find anything about this in the documentation. | 01:25:48 |
| srr24x7 | Of course if some are from the current room it says "this room", but otherwise?... | 01:27:35 |
| midgardian | In reply to @srr24x7:envs.net
What version are you using? 1.9.1 | 01:30:44 |
| midgardian | I had to kill yet again | 01:30:48 |
| srr24x7 | Then maybe you should upgrade. I remember Nico saying that with around 1.9.2 and 1.9.3 there were many bugfixes. | 01:31:51 |

Gummiboot? I think I heard of that too... Now I remembered where I heard gummiboot before. That's the old name for systemd-boot. 🙃 | 01:54:08 |
