Re: nvme drives

2022-10-03 Thread progandy
Hello,

The kernel should be able to detect those remapped nvme drives and
report them in the ahci sysfs tree.

cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ahci/*:*/remapped_nvme

This command should report a number greater than 0 if there is such a
remapped nvme. Since the nvme is listed in the lsblk output, there
should be no remapping occuring, though.


What drives do you expect the machine to have?

Your output lists one unpartitioned scsi/sata drive as /dev/sda,
one nvme drive as /dev/nvme0n1 including three partitions,
one optical drive as /dev/sro,
and some zram (compressed ram).

parted should be able to work with both sda and nvme0n1.

I think the -l option for parted should list all drives and partitions
it can access.

parted -l

It might simply be an incidental restart between the tests.

libgphoto2 installs udev rules that might require a system restart or a
reload of the udev rules.

gvfs-gphoto2 installs a systemd user service and a gvfs monitor, which
might require a restart of the user session.

There is nothing good available.
Drivers for Relatek RTL8832AU exist as an out-of-tree module, but they
seem to be bad.
Drivers for Mediatek mt7921u are being upstreamed, but there are no
adapters for sale yet.

Do you have no option to add an internal card (NGFF/m.2, mini pcie, pcie)?

I have never used dracut, but it has modules similar to mkinitcpio
hooks. I guess the modules contain more automagic so you don't have to
manually enable/disable them. If you want, you can limit the modules to
include, though. If functionality is missing you will need to write a
dracut module instead of a mkinitcpio hook.

Hello,

For me it seems to have been the update of ca-certificates-mozilla to
3.60 (14th Dec.) which removed some root certificates.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Additional_Trust_Changes

I tried manually adding some digicert CAs and sub-CAs I found with
wireshark. At first it seemed to work and then suddenly not.
https://cde-ta-g7g.amazon.com/
https://www.digicert.com/kb/digicert-root-certificates.htm

Since then I run kindle with bubblewrap, replacing
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt with the version from the old package.
Not the best, but I haven't found a better solution yet.
