there is no setup and the instructions for a manual install keep getting me weird complaints from systemd about dependancies. It occurs to me that tackling this is error doesn’t make sense because it requires systemd to work and ultimately I want to run this on a diskless alpine linux install which doesnt use systemd.

Honestly it’s just an idea to suck up time at this point. I do NOT have the skills for this shit, as we can see here. I can correct what ChatGPT gets wrong though and just run with that.
Once I crack this, I think it could be fun to create a script that could spoof devices plugged into it with the gadget framework. Could save me a lot of trouble creating known-working usb configs down the road. Instead of starting from scratch each time, I would just have to tweak an existing profile.
Looking at those units I noticed something… ExecStart=/usr/bin/ln -s ${GADGET}/functions/uvc.0 ${GADGET}/configs/a.1/
It’s an a.1 instead of a c.1. Surely it couldn’t be as simple as just using a different letter, could it?
no change
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'configs/c.1/uvc.usb0': No such file or directory ./fauxcam-gadget.sh: line 19: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
1·3 days agoI can’t remember exactly why intensive, but it never worked right when I tried it. Weird layers of abstraction, terrible ARM support, blegh.
Snaps promise to do some really cool things. They just are a bitch to use and they are slow and tied too heavily to canonical.
Weren’t you supposed to be able to snap in and out a kernel by now? Like, not even needing a reboot?
There are 3 movie files that have bad checksums but are still readable for some reason. Literally everything else is fine.
They do indeed! And if I had a framework that’s exactly what I would buy unless they had an ARM offering.
You need to stop worrying about “official support.” You aren’t a business so it doesn’t matter for you. There is more support out there online for free than you realize. There’s nothing magical framework does for you that doesn’t get ported out everywhere else eventually anyway. Stop limiting yourself like that.
That being said, Ubuntu is built in Debian. Debian is an incredibly solid and stable distro. Ubuntu does do a few questionable things with it but it’s still very reliable. If you have problems with stability, it’s very unlikely Ubuntu is the problem unless you did something so incredibly stupid to it support wouldn’t help you anyway.
I have a theory. Windows can dance around memory corruption issues in ways Linux just refuses to do. Windows will misbehave in strange ways trying to make things work until it just can’t anymore. Linux is more of a binary thing. It works or it doesn’t. It’s not going to play pretend for you. It refuses. Linus has an obscene hand gesture for your hardware.
I want you to get a copy of memtest86+ and boot it off a flash drive. Then just let it beat the shit out of your CPU and ram for a couple hours.
Framework laptops are generally Intel. Intel hasn’t been making the best stuff over the past few years. It’s possible your cpu might be affected by a flaw Intel tried to cover up for a while. If it has it, nothing in earth will ever make that chip reliable. It’s not fixable. It will only get worse with time no matter what OS you use.
Ahh I see. For the record, I like Linux.
I go back and forth. I don’t remember what I said here.
no I was making a joke that was apparently not well received here. Aside from rust in the kernel, I didn’t think this was one of those sacred-cow communities.
Sorry I’m new to lemmy, is there a preferred service we use here?
This had nothing to do with this distro. Its the filesystem mount timing out during an filesystem format upgrade that tried to happen during the mount by systemd that did this.
ext4 doesnt do tiered storage. I could make an LVM and have it pool things into one storage volume but I wanted to learn this. bcachefs is simpler and cleaner, but it’s still young and very volatile. Also, ext4 does have bugs still, even today.
I was just thinking about taking a more recent backup when I ran this update and thought against it. I’m going to have to verify this thing against the old backup somehow tomorrow. :/
woot! let me know what you come up with.
