@thelinuxexperiment Looks like the animations in GTK are disabled - is this Manjaro's default?

@dylanvanassche @agx Yes, you can even do it right from the GUI in GNOME Settings now.

@scops Dumping the systemd journal from the previous boot would do it. Make sure to skim it for personal data though before sharing :)

@scops Would be nice to gather some logs then. Do you have the latest kernel installed? We used to have very unreliable battery meter that could lead to unexpected shutdowns too, but that should be fixed by now.

@scops If the compositor crashes, the screen goes blank for a few seconds. Then people tend to press the power button instead of waiting for phosh to come up again (which, well, is a natural reaction to screen suddenly going blank), which in turn triggers a full shutdown as that's what systemd does when it notices the power button being pressed and there's no compositor to intercept it.

I'll take a look whether we can block that power button behavior when the compositor isn't up.

@scops Does your Librem 5 shut down unexpectedly? That shouldn't happen and doesn't happen for me here. Are you sure it's not just a compositor crash? (asking since people very often confuse those) Which hardware batch is it?

@satur @niboe FYI Movim is pretty much a self-hostable server-side XMPP client.

@linmobnet ...and Giara has migrated now as well :)

@linmobnet FYI Tootle has already arrived in amber-phone yesterday, and Giara has been available in amber-phone-staging for more than two weeks now (seems there's some issue with its migration, it should have migrated by now - well, it likely just needs some manual encouragement ;))

@vancha @linmobnet People use to call it "random reboot", but in fact it's a compositor crash and then a manual reboot triggered by a power button when the compositor wasn't running. Unfortunately we still have a notorious crash in phoc that isn't sorted out yet :(

Spent some time on getting my old Librem 5 port of Jumpdrive into shape, so it can get upstreamed. It's a super useful little recovery utility to have in your tool belt :) https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/pull/24 #librem5 #gnu #linux #mobile

Really? That's a standard thing when ordering from US to EU. You don't have to pay VAT on import only if the value is low enough to fit within the limit, or if it wasn't correctly declared and you're lucky that it wasn't checked on border (which is pretty common for things ordered from China).

@immychan When it comes to the CPU, then aside of the obvious clock speed increase (1.152GHz vs. 1.5GHz), the Librem 5 SoC also has twice as large L2 cache - but I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes in practice.

@immychan From my experience it's mostly about RAM speed - L5 has LPDDR4-3200 while PinePhone has only LPDDR3-1333 which is further clocked down by stability issues (I believe most distros have it at 1104). For some workloads it's also the GPU - L5's GC7000L is much faster than Mali-400.

(technically both phones actually contain RAM that's capable of being faster than that but LPDDR4-3200 and LPDDR3-1333 is what their SoCs limit its speed to)
