Enabling arm64 support for omakub · Pull Request #29 · omacom/omakub

ghost · 2024-06-07T09:38:54Z

Hey I'm trying to incoporate arm64 support under this script as mentioned in

Currently NOT every app will work, with the biggest app that doesn't work being chrome
We can go chrome flatpak for example here, but leaving that up to you @dhh
Currently I am NOT finished doing every app and checking every package.
A good rule of thumb, If I haven't changed anything it probability works on arm unless it is farther down the list then docker.sh
Further I haven't checked YET
I haven't also done neovim(even though it is easy) since I was waiting for the other pull request about neovim to be finished before doing neovim stuff in this pull

ghost · 2024-06-07T09:40:08Z

this is in reference to #29 not wholly done yet but I'm getting very very close. But I need to leave for an exam right now, sorry to ping @dhh but is this a good way of handing it?

ghost · 2024-06-07T09:48:51Z

Out of what I've done already
Chrome, Signal, dropbox-nautilus, Zoom
Those are the apps which currently don't have a native arm version for linux(yet). We could use flatpaks or webapps for any of these options. DHH chooses which he prefers where

ghost · 2024-06-07T17:36:34Z

I'm pretty sure if you merge this piece of code there will be arm64 support for all the app installs, I also found a way to get automatically the latest ruby version automatically
@dhh could you review the code?

ghost · 2024-06-07T19:49:32Z

the ruby push is to fix #38 which is something you noted
And the latest push about pinta is me reversing an error I made while very sleepy yesterday

the issue with app-localsend needs to be resolved by dhh, but the -y fix was already implemented here before

ghost · 2024-06-08T07:05:26Z

if you could, would you mind looking at this pr @dhh

coffeejunk · 2024-06-08T09:53:34Z

This is great, however, the current version will make the login hang due to the migration to mise (#36).

The initial install of mise will fail (silently) since it's not (yet) targeting arm64 and after the logout the system will hang on the installation confirmation.

Great I didn't catch that, thanks a lot and I'il implement it now

now I really think we should be ready for a merger or changes as to how we handle the non supported arm packages

ghost · 2024-06-08T13:05:18Z

Thanks a lot for the feedback, should be fixed now
Now I think we are ready for a merger unless dhh decides what he wants to do with the non arm native apps

Nit: i guess you could also set arch=amd64,arm64 to support both?

what do you mean? Current we use ARCH to get the architecture, ARCH is a global variable set in the main sh script ran on starting omakub. And then ARCH indeed is arm64 or amd64, whatever ARCH is automatically set to at the start. What do you mean here, what do I need to change?

so ARCH is dynamically set based on what architecture you use, so just doing arch=${ARCH} should work no?

@roele That'll fetch package info for the other architecture as well, however.

The arch can just be omitted, too. Then it'll use the default Apt::Architectures, which is just the native amd64/arm64.

thanks a lot for testing and verifying, are there any issues with the installing? of the apps? (ignoring the issues I already know about with missing apps)

added a zoom webapp when using arm64, this uses Chromium..
Chromium itself isn't yet installed by default, and we are still discussing internally whether or not to opt for chromium or something else;

ghost · 2024-06-10T14:39:25Z

and this last commit is just fixing compatibility between my branch and the main branch

ghost · 2024-06-11T12:33:58Z

@dhh what do we still need before a merger would be possible?

jeremy · 2024-06-11T18:32:23Z

+# Determine architecture
+ARCH=$(dpkg --print-architecture)
+export ARCH
+


One nice property of the install/* scripts is that they can be invoked independently. Introducing global env vars breaks that. Would keep this invocation in each script.

Alternatively, you could

: "${ARCH:=$(dpkg --print-architecture)}"

in the scripts to lazy-set the env var.

It's not packaged, but it supported: https://github.com/dropbox/nautilus-dropbox?tab=readme-ov-file#building-dropbox-nautilus-extension

Maestral is an alternative, too: https://maestral.app

idk building from source seems kinda sketchy? we could do that but ehh...
Maestral seems nice, and is perhaps something @dhh would like also, perhaps as just a replacement for dropbox?

For Neovim, the latest available version for ARM in the apt repository is 0.7.2, even when using ppa:neovim-ppa/stable, which is not supported by LazyVim (see requirements). One option is to install from source. Here's how I currently install Neovim on my ARM machines (credit to Carlos Hurtado):

sudo apt-get install ninja-build \
gettext libtool libtool-bin \
autoconf automake cmake g++ \
pkg-config unzip
git clone https://github.com/neovim/neovim.git
cd neovim
git pull
git checkout stable
sudo make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/nvim install
echo 'export PATH="/opt/nvim/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc

chromium has no widevine on arm64, thereofre cannot play netflix, spotify etc.
Also it might require certain flags for launching with gpu acceleration suuport to watch youtube properly. (guess the latter can only be properly tested on the actual device)
For widevine people often pull some bins from chromeos projects

After some recent reserach on this, there is still no binary package with widevine for ubuntu or an arm browser which ships with it.

AsahiLinux is hosting a widevine installer script from crhomeos project which is pulling it from googleapis.com

And Brave browser published a manual how to link it #28903.

Chrome has released an arm64 version for windows. Guess a an arm chrome with widevine support is also likely to happen in future. But for now, probably going asahilinux way is best: adding custom installer, updater via chromeos binaries. Probably its best done in another PR once arm support ist merged

Is this opening in Chromium? I believe that also won't run without widevine

Hi @iljo-dp,

I wanted to check in on this PR. Are you still working on it? Is there anything I can assist with to help move this forward?

Thanks!

Clay26 · 2024-07-03T23:38:15Z

I believe we also need to build alacrity from source since there's no available packages for aarch64

rwiankowski · 2024-07-04T09:25:31Z

I believe we also need to build alacrity from source since there's no available packages for aarch64

You can install alacritty using snap: sudo snap install alacritty --classic

It works out of the box on a fresh arm64 Ubuntu install

dhh · 2024-07-27T15:28:35Z

This PR needs a major overhaul. Anyone interested in investigating? For now, I'd prefer if we just don't install an application if it's not available as arm64. Then we fill in as they become available.

IbrahimTanyalcin · 2024-08-05T13:07:17Z

Any news on this PR?, it is essentially aims the same as #227. In 227 if things fail, installation continues, essentially skipping those that are faulty/Not available and generates a report in the root dir so that they can be retried later as they are available.
