I blame cosmic rays

Unfortunately for you, the JH7110's caches have ECC.

It's probably more likely that the meson build simply isn't reproducible.

@SeTSeR:matrix.orgWhite WhaleHello, I'm trying to build NixOS image for Starfive VisionFive 2 using this repo: https://github.com/NickCao/nixos-riscv I was able to build vanilla image, but the problems arose when I tried to add `xrdp` to it. Compilation of xrdp began to fail with bizarre errors on `pkg-config` missing. I looked into derivation for xrdp and found out that for some reason that `xorgxrdp` has dependency on `pkg-config` from host, not from build. It's very strange, given that it is placed in `nativeBuildInputs`, just like `autoconf` and `automake`, which behave correctly: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/d934204a0f8d9198e1e4515dd6fec76a139c87f0/pkgs/applications/networking/remote/xrdp/default.nix#L49 How can this be? How can I fix this?17:52:00
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforeverahhh, this is not good19:55:28
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforeverwait, is this a problem?19:55:50
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforeverxorgxrdp wouldn't be properly spliced here... but that still doesn't explain what's going on19:56:22

Hello, I'm trying to build NixOS image for Starfive VisionFive 2 using this repo:
https://github.com/NickCao/nixos-riscv
I was able to build vanilla image, but the problems arose when I tried to add `xrdp` to it. Compilation of xrdp began to fail with bizarre errors on `pkg-config` missing. I looked into derivation for xrdp and found out that for some reason that `xorgxrdp` has dependency on `pkg-config` from host, not from build.

How can this be? How can I fix this?

Unfortunately, such errors seem to be fairly common in wrapped packages (which is the case with pkg-config).

I couldn't tell you why the splicing is going wrong, but perhaps overriding xrdp to use pkg-config-unwrapped will work?
If it does, something in the wrapper is causing splicing to break.

@nickcao:nichi.coNick CaoThe problem is not about splicing but it checking for the wrong pkg-config binary.03:53:00
@nickcao:nichi.coNick CaoIt shall be riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu-pkg-config03:53:13
@nickcao:nichi.coNick Cao(This won't completely fix cross compilation either, there are still other issues like: https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/issues/1292)03:53:39
@nickcao:nichi.coNick CaoIf you really want some decent remote desktop experience, I would recommend wayvnc (or others), rather than this poorly packaged xrdp.03:54:27
@SeTSeR:matrix.orgWhite Whale Thanks, I’ll try wayvnc. I also tried TigerVNC, but it also fails, trying to run the wrong gettext, hope `wayvnc` will work 08:17:35
@SeTSeR:matrix.orgWhite Whale I also encountered a kernel panic on upstream kernel:
https://github.com/starfive-tech/linux/issues/132
I was able to stable reproduce this on any nix-related command, so I’m currently unable to use nix on my machine. For a long time I used 5.15 kernel from old `devel` branch, but after update of default GCC to 13 I was unable to boot this kernel, as the old kernel doesn’t seem to support modules built by new GCC. I think I can set old compiler for kernel explicitly, but maybe there is a way to debug this kernel panic?

The problem seems to be very old, I think I tried to switch to upstream kernel from the start of my journey with VF2, and on every attempt I encountered this panic.

@SeTSeR:matrix.orgWhite Whale Sometimes I ran into this problem just by running soulseek client or fsck on incorrectly shut down drive 10:20:23

* @skeuchel:matrix.orgSteven Keuchel is trying to get milkv pioneer into nixos-hardware https://github.com/sophgo/bootloader-riscv/issues/7210:28:18
@thefossguy:matrix.orgPratham Patel (you can mention me)FYI: Please don't use the Pioneer or the Lichee 4A in any of the build machines. The C<something> cores from T-Head have hardware erratas about incorrect Atomic implementation and it should only be used for "oh cool thing" instad of a build machine.10:37:32
@thefossguy:matrix.orgPratham Patel (you can mention me)Also, the above "PSA" was for using these machines for building nixpkgs. Not against their inclusion in nixos-hardware :)10:54:37
@thefossguy:matrix.orgPratham Patel (you can mention me)So far, the only machines I trust for building nixpkgs are the HiFive Unmatched and the VisionFive 2.10:55:27
@thefossguy:matrix.orgPratham Patel (you can mention me) Might add the Milk-V Oasis to that list once it's launched, since it uses SiFive's cores (which I trust to have no major issues), but only after testing things out :) 10:56:12
@skeuchel:matrix.orgSteven KeuchelDo you have any specific silicon erratas you are referring to? I'm only interested in those that impact user-mode functionality, rather than being solely kernel-mode concerns. I know about the linux ERRATA_THEAD_QSPINLOCK, but I would like to know about others, if they exist. The information is a bit hard to find.11:35:18
@thefossguy:matrix.orgPratham Patel (you can mention me) All the RISC-V related erratas that I know: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/riscv/include/asm/errata_list.h 11:38:14
