<Cadey>
are there pre-made aws graviton images for nixos?
2021-04-21
<elvishjerricco>
aw fiddlesticks.
2021-04-14
<bpye>
I wonder if I could get an ARMv7 build built on AWS - the Graviton parts should do 32 bit execution
2021-04-04
<samueldr>
d'aw, was looking at someone else who is getting involved in good ways with NixOS and AArch64... but they already have a RockPro64 AFAICT
2021-03-14
<Ke>
sphalerite admitted seeing this issue, but I believe he also thought it aws magic, though did not expressly mention magnets
2021-03-02
<gchristensen>
(the builder is an AWS aarch64 machine, of course)
2021-02-09
<elvishjerricco>
Aw. Stuck on rainbow screen
<elvishjerricco>
Aw, ext4-fs.img.zst.drv failed because of qemu-user
2021-01-29
<Ke>
this seems awfully slow now
2021-01-28
<LinuxHackerman>
I used this awful hack `boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_lx2k_mainline // {zfs = null; zfsStable = null;};`#
2021-01-24
<mgdm>
I've got 3 of them now :D including an AWS graviton2 that I joined this channel when I couldn't get it to start
2021-01-21
<colemickens>
I have launched the aarch64 image in AWS on their m5 instances.
<mgdm>
Hello. Anyone know if there's a NixOS AMI I can launch on an AWS Graviton2 instance?
2021-01-04
<noneucat>
i guess i should be looking at the aws graviton instances to spin up a temp. arm builder
2020-12-23
<Gaelan>
can AWS graviton2 instances not run armv6l binaries? I'm trying to use one to build some stuff for armv6l, and it's failing with illegal instruction
2020-12-20
<neverredneverred>
AWS is kinda nice. Super easy to just spawn a new instance.
<patagonicus>
I've never used AWS.
<neverredneverred>
maybe thats what I get for being cheap on an AWS time thats gunna cost me less than a dollar lol
<andi->
wasn't the AWS charge for the biggest VM the same as for the metal version?
<gchristensen>
AWS's aren't *SO* bad but no KVM unless you do $expensive/hr
2020-12-19
<sphalerite>
aw, and there I was getting my hopes up :p
2020-12-17
<gchristensen>
it is especially awful when not present in a rescue env
2020-12-13
<red[evilred]>
I'm looking at equinix instead of aws
2020-12-12
* colemickens
looks longingly at AWS aarch64 instances and wishes he could trade azure credits for aws credits
2020-12-06
<red[evilred]>
So apparently I was just told that AWS is adding OS X instances. I wonder if that will include aarch64 OS X instances too? I would expect that to have more demand after all from developers given the potential lack of development hardware.
2020-12-03
<red[evilred]>
AWS? packet? who else?
<red[evilred]>
what I should do is fire up an AWS graviton2 instance
2020-11-26
<red[evilred]>
WTS: awful nginx hax, pst ;-)
<sphalerite>
gchristensen: do you have the awful nginx hacks that let ipxe talk to it available somewhere? Could use them quite shortly :p
2020-11-20
<red[evilred]>
AWS gave me a freebee account to play with for a few hours
<samueldr>
though it's not unique to AWS
<Ericson2314>
this is on a plain aold aws vm so I think it's OK
2020-11-16
<__red__>
apparently I've been suspended from AWS
<gchristensen>
if you don't need virtualisation (kvm) AWS's graviton2 line is pretty good
2020-11-10
<sphalerite>
aw man, now I feel like I need a powerful ARM board again.
<__red__>
I have a friend of mine that told me the same thing about AWS
<__red__>
and each and every time I go "nope" to facebook, and I never gather up the courage to ask how much AWS / GCP resouurces AWS/Google employees get
<__red__>
every so often the AWS / Google / Facebook recruiters poke me via email
2020-11-08
<clever>
aws's serial has a massive latency and is read-only
<clever>
gchristensen: i assume the problem is on aws, and its failing to mount the rootfs? does the aws serial console still show errors from stage-1?
<colemickens>
if anyone here boots aws aarch64 instances and has a aws cli command that works, an AWS noob would love a jumpstart. The only one I've booted, I was never able to SSH to.
2020-10-21
<samueldr>
hmm, this doesn't seem to conclusively point towards qemu through binfmt for the AWS runners though
<gchristensen>
I couldn't do it, anyway ... aws account limits.
<gchristensen>
yeah... maybe if I get one of those AWS Bare Metal machines
<gchristensen>
anyone done anything with armv7l on AWS' graviton2's?
<samueldr>
it's awfully funny how in less than 24 hours two discussions end up at cma=
2020-09-12
<samueldr>
magic register that loads a different still-awful bootloader
2020-09-08
<angerman>
thefloweringash: the gravitons are actually quite cheap... I just don't like dealing with bringing up machines on aws much :D
2020-09-07
<GolDDranks>
I'm having the same failure on two different machines: Raspberry Pi 4 and AWS Graviton 2 -based instance
2020-09-02
<clever>
nixos-aws has user-data, which is just a configuration.nix string
2020-08-27
* colemickens
wants nixos 2 for cheap nixos-powered aws graviton spot instances for aarch64 build power
2020-08-13
<sphalerite>
aw, it doesn't like how a bunch of config things aren't enabled.
2020-08-12
<samueldr>
I get awful tearing, which made me think it might have been software rendered
2020-08-04
<WRMilling>
Doing a thought exercise, wondering how hard it would be to setup a remote build server on AWS (A1 arm servers) and have it be a spot instance.
2020-07-19
<clever>
raspbian does that by default, and so does the aws nixos ami
2020-07-07
<ashkitten>
there's also some awful whine noise in nixos
<ashkitten>
what an awful concept
<samueldr>
aw
2020-06-24
<ar>
patagonicus: nix uses aws-sdk-cpp for s3 support
<patagonicus>
Huh. Now my RPi is building aws-sdk-cpp. I wonder what's pulling that in.
<samueldr>
and then there's the whole issue of having the storage medium shared with the firmware and firmware blobs in an awful way
2020-03-26
<samueldr>
aw, there's no partitions listing for google-marlin in the repo
<ashkitten>
if the keyboard wasn't so awful this would be great haha
2020-03-10
<andi->
samueldr: how awful is the browser experience?
2020-03-04
<samueldr>
oh, and volla sounds awfully close to jolla to me
2020-02-20
<sphalerite>
samueldr: aw, that's a shame. Thanks for the info!
2020-02-02
<samueldr>
like an awful amount
2020-01-23
<samueldr>
aw
2020-01-21
<samueldr>
danielrf[m]: can you try with either a lineageos or google-provided source tree for the kernel? that looks awfully suspicious
2020-01-17
<samueldr>
and if for some awful reason it failed to update, you wouldn't be able to boot :)
2019-12-13
<samueldr>
aw
2019-12-06
<samueldr>
my current cross-compile did start from an awfully cold cache
2019-12-04
<samueldr>
aw, I was checking, just in case
2019-12-02
<samueldr>
aw, if it was happening often or reproducibly I would have asked you to try the PR
2019-11-19
<danielrf[m]>
the non-cross compilation is an inconvenience--I'll either have to spin up an AWS instance
2019-10-21
<samueldr>
still awfully neat
<samueldr>
aw, wrong boot mode
<samueldr>
craige: you're flying out awfully early... well... not that early when I think about it... only feels like it since it's still sunday here :)
2019-10-19
<t184256>
So, it keeps hitting one or two absolutely arbitrary limits, and this is why we can't have nice things? Sounds awful.
2019-09-30
<samueldr>
aw, the timed reset happened
2019-09-28
<samueldr>
aw, armv7l
2019-09-14
<samueldr>
aw, blackberry has (had, not sure since TCL) completely non-unlockable bootloaders
2019-06-23
<Ashy>
aws does dedis too but for a lot more money
2019-05-25
<genesis>
to show them nix really fix the problem with their awful scripts, old docker and boilerplate.
2019-05-09
<sphalerite>
aw poo, the ESP is at the same offset as I need u-boot.img…
2019-02-16
<samueldr>
the rockchip miniloader binary has an awful lot of strings identical to u-boot
2019-02-04
<lezed1>
I'm in the process of installing NixOS on a Raspberry Pi and it looks like llvm timed out while building on aarch64. Can that package be retried, or the build item limit increased? Building these packages on a rpi is awful
2019-01-28
<samueldr>
aw yiss
2019-01-09
<exarkun1>
I guess I don't know how `aws ec2 import-image` differs from `aws ec2 register-image`
<exarkun1>
Possibly this isn't completely true and if you are an absolute EC2 Wizard and/or a upstream AWS channel partner it is possible but I am neither.
2019-01-07
<exarkun1>
So it seems AWS EC2 a.* instances can run armv7l-hf-multiplatform binaries.
<exarkun1>
eh not this morning I guess, I don't see any nixos images for arm on aws so I guess I have to make one
2018-12-31
<samueldr>
aw, and frustrating thing with mini hdmi (or was it micro?) there are different standards and it's not obvious which one is which
2018-12-14
<THFKA4>
i was bringing up an AWS ARM server to try to get around this, but then found this channel
2018-12-12
<samueldr>
aw, dos

gchristensen: I have a hydra server running on x86 hardware (on aws)
2018-12-04
<bobvanderlinden>
aw that's too bad. timeout cannot be increased?
2018-11-29
<clever>
its currently rigged up for generating an AMI, but could also just ignore aws
2018-10-10
<sphalerite>
the performance is awful and there are unimplemented/incorrectly implemented (I think) instructions
2018-10-03
<sphalerite>
platforms semantics is awful \o/
2018-09-25
<samueldr>
aw

<duncan^>
they used to make the allwinner a10 for awful PDA devices
2018-08-10
<elvishjerricco>
Aw. The config files are 1141 lines different... That's gonna be hard to debug
2018-06-17
<samueldr>
especially if your device is a unique snowflake with weird and awfully written device drivers
2018-06-07
<elvishjerricco>
Aw, I can't seem to get past `waiting for device /dev/disk/by-label/NIXOS_SD to appear...`
