nicole added a comment to T948: Librem13: Enable SATA link power management by default.

Do you have an AC power meter? That's what I used... let the system sit there idle, battery fully charged, look at power consumption. Then just change _one_ thing at a time, let it settle and become idle again, measure again.

jeremiah.foster added a comment to T948: Librem13: Enable SATA link power management by default.

So how do we do this test in a way that produces useful data? Do we run it at two different settings on two laptops concurrently? Or should I measure battery level over time at specific intervals with each setting on the same device?

guido added a comment to T948: Librem13: Enable SATA link power management by default.

@jeremiah.foster could you check if min_power makes a difference? It seems to save 0.5W here things are fluctuating quite a bit so a longer test would be good.

nicole added a comment to T873: archive: need a way to have -dbgsym packages.

That's a matter for the sys team. We would need to know how much more space would be needed, how much is available at the hosting site right now and if we require more, how much extra cost this would involve. If this is a matter of just reconfiguring something then sys team can handle this, if it requires something that increases cost please let me know the amount and I will try to get the budget.

Or also not so good, because then I wonder what people do with their laptops not getting more battery life... hmm...

@mak how much disk space would that be ? @jeremiah.foster @nicole can you get us the necessary disk space?

mak added a comment to T873: archive: need a way to have -dbgsym packages.

Those packages are available, but only for the latest builds of the development version of PureOS and only for the ones we rebuilt ourselves: https://repo.pureos.net/pureos-debug/dists/
Anything else would require mirroring the debug packages from Debian, and we do not have the disk space for that, currently.

guido added a comment to T947: In the app drawer, the 2nd screen is frozen.

i wouldn't call it frozen, it's just that the settings and app menu grab all input (i pretty much got used to it and just hit ESC in these situations). This is fixable but not in phosh alone, phoc needs to help here. I'd be great to have a bug on phosh as well since this also affects convergence.

guido added a comment to T946: Kate will not load in phosh.

phosh itself is not involved here, if at all it's the compositor. @david.hamner could you file a phoc bug because having bugs in upstream software will likely get lost.

Would still be awesome to have since this limits debugability considerably (people need to fetch packages from CI or Debian to get usable back traces for software we develop) - but maybe these packages are there and i dont know where?

Yes, let me look into how quickly we can get this into Byzantium. (There are two routes - wait for an update from upstream packaging, e.g. Debian, or upload our own package directly amber.) Uploading the new package directly to amber is likely the fastest way to close this bug.

Higher-than-Debian version shadows a Debian package if both are available. That is suitable for packages deliberately deviating from its Debian counterpart.

The problem tracked in this issue is that you can install non-free packages or add non-free repos - including skype and others.
Which packages can most easily be installed due to the default configuration of the tool is a subset of this general issue.

The problem is not that you can install non-free packages or add non-free repos. So can you in apt. The problem is that snap is using Snapcraft repository by default. Just try snap find skype, snap find clion or snap find spotify.

There are parts of the EFI stack that are proprietary, this is why we do not include them in our installer. Other projects may include them in their "non-free" repos but because we're a FSF compliant Free Software distro we don't include non-free repositories. We continue to investigate if there is a way to support GPT.
