darodihi guys00:45
darodii was planning to migrate from multiboot to u-boot... then i read this http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1344957&postcount=200:46
darodiIt's totaly useless when booted from u-boot (no wifi, battery meter, charging...)00:46
darodiis it true? any one with nitroid switched to uboot here?00:47

DocScrutinizer05darodi:01:28
DocScrutinizer05>>01:28
DocScrutinizer05To instal kernel you have to:01:28
DocScrutinizer05mount /home /and01:28
DocScrutinizer05first01:28
DocScrutinizer05<<01:28
DocScrutinizer05no more to say. All that stuff looks completely gibberish to me. I don't think I could install anything useful following those instructions, and I usually know my way around unix/linux01:29
DocScrutinizer05alas I can't help about your original question, since I never touched nitdroid - sorry. Installing uBoot on N900 is not that hard, it even tries to convert/migrate existing multiboot/bootmenu entries01:32
DocScrutinizer05God gracious, this stuff makes my eyes bleed!01:38
DocScrutinizer05bzip2 -d N12_UMay.tar.bz2 cd /01:39
*** hardaker has joined #maemo01:39
DocScrutinizer05mount /home /and01:39
DocScrutinizer05cd /and01:40
*** xes__ has joined #maemo01:40
DocScrutinizer05despite the whole thing is tagged "PHP code:" I think they really mean it01:40
DocScrutinizer05the bzip and mount parameters make no sense to me01:41
DocScrutinizer05except somebody did a damn good job to obfuscate stuff01:41
DocScrutinizer05I wouldn't hope bzip2 takes a COMMAND "cd" as parameter01:42
*** mvp has joined #maemo01:42
DocScrutinizer05and I never heard of a device /and you could mount to /home, for whatever purpose01:43
*** xes__ has quit IRC01:43
DocScrutinizer05if that's a bindmount that it should need more parameters01:43
*** xes_ has quit IRC01:43
*** xes has joined #maemo01:43
DocScrutinizer05at least --bind01:43
DocScrutinizer05even worse, mount syntax is >>mount [-fnrsvw] [-t vfstype] [-o options] device dir<< so the device was /home which for sure is no device on any linux I ever seen01:45
rikaneeDocScrutinizer05: perhaps that's why people have been filling up their rootfses?01:46
DocScrutinizer05lol, I can't even figure what might happen when trying to follow that instruction01:46
DocScrutinizer05honestly, have a look at this: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1346033#post1346033 for a laugh or a cry, depending on your mood01:47
*** valerius2k is now known as valeriusN01:50
DocScrutinizer05of course "cd" *might* be a filename for bzip2, but honestly who names his file "cd" ?01:51
rikaneesigh, that entire thread is just sad.01:51
rikanee~rtfm01:51
infobotfrom memory, rtfm is Read The F*cking Manual (TM). It is a suggestion to do your homework before posting a question. Sometimes used as RTFM $SPECIFIC_MANUAL to refer to a specific source of information. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM01:51
DocScrutinizer05or it is a option parameter to bzip2 with a typo: -cd01:51
*** mvp has quit IRC01:52
DocScrutinizer05but then I'm afraid user wouldn't have any joy in watching the decompressed output spamming his stdout01:52
DocScrutinizer05only explanation is that a newline is missing, but then the bzip2 cmd makes no sense without parameters01:53
DocScrutinizer05oooor the whole shit is some extremely nifty PHP code indeed, that I simply fail to grok01:53
*** OkropNick has quit IRC01:53
DocScrutinizer05;-P01:54
DocScrutinizer05in te end I'd fail to enter the green "/" anyway X-D01:54
rikaneeDocScrutinizer05: they simply forgot to include exec();01:54
rikanee;)01:54
DocScrutinizer05ohmy android. Too complicated for me ;-P01:57
darodimount /home /and is just a bind as you say ...never seen that syntax before01:58
darodii think i'll just remove nitdroid and go for uboot. i'm using maemo 99% of the time and just reboot to nitdroid when my wife desesperately needs to play a stupid game :P02:01
DocScrutinizer05aaah, maybe get her a cheap droidfon02:03
DocScrutinizer05darodi: make sure you boot to maemo, so multiboot cleans up its shit02:04
darodiwell... she also has a n900 with a gamegripper but pollutes mine with nitdroid :))02:05
DocScrutinizer05(proper kernel modules and kernel flashed - yes, multiboot *flashes* kernel on each boot)02:05
DocScrutinizer05then you should have no problems installing most recent uBoot02:05
DocScrutinizer05and if you're lucky, uBoot will be able to boot into android on uSD out of the box02:06
DocScrutinizer05if not, I think the tweaks needed to uBoot config files and maybe android fs on uSD are minimal02:07
DocScrutinizer05you might need to get the kernel uimage of android kernel and put it somewhere from where uBoot can load it02:08
*** CaCO3 has joined #maemo02:13
darodiare there pre-made uimage already or do i need to convert the vmlinuz kernel to uimage?02:14
darodii'll have a look in the nitdroid forums02:14
*** LauRoman has quit IRC02:15
*** CaCO3 has quit IRC02:18
DocScrutinizer05there are pre-built uimages for about everything02:23
DocScrutinizer05ask Pali, he should know a lot more about all that stuff - after all he's maintainer of uBoot02:24
DocScrutinizer05hmm, lemme try sth...02:24
DocScrutinizer05~uboot02:24
infobotN900 uBoot is a siamese twin binary [uBoot+stockMaemoKernel] that resides in kernel NAND partition /dev/mtd3 aka "kernel". You can't uninstall it, rather you'll nuke it when you flash/install another kernel like stock maemo kernel or powerkernel. To start other than stock maemo kernel via uBoot, you have to provide the according kernel image files02:24
DocScrutinizer05hmmpf, thought there might be an URL to a proper wiki/tmo page about uBoot and how-to-install02:25
Paliif you put linux (z)image to /boot or /opt/boot it will be automatically converted to uimage format by u-boot-update-bootmenu02:25
DocScrutinizer05wow02:25
Paliand stored in MyDocs02:25
DocScrutinizer05:-D02:25
DocScrutinizer05scary :->02:25
darodiPali: thanks for the info02:25
DocScrutinizer05Pali: seems Nokia never will fix that signing key issue02:29
Palidid you got any new email?02:29
DocScrutinizer05Pali: should we get rip-offs of the Nokia repos and publish a tool to patch the catalogs?02:29
DocScrutinizer05no new mail02:29
DocScrutinizer05maybe even a fiasco image with patched catalogs list02:30
DocScrutinizer05the run our own core repos02:30
DocScrutinizer05then*02:30
darodiPali: i have cssuthumb and kp 51 in nand right now. should i reboot to omap1 before uninstalling  multiboot?02:30
DocScrutinizer05ohohoh02:31
Pali15.5 I got email from Mikko that he going to fix it02:31
DocScrutinizer05:-o02:31
DocScrutinizer05darodi: a thumbified system will crash on a non-thumb-enabled kernel02:31
darodithat's what i thought02:32
DocScrutinizer05alas uBoot comes with stock kernel02:32
darodiuhmf02:33
DocScrutinizer05so installing uBoot on a thombified system is quite tricky - you easily end in a reboot loop02:33
DocScrutinizer05you basically have to make sure that your uBoot can boot from a powerkernel uimage before you install uBoot02:34
DocScrutinizer05otherwise you end up with a system with uBoot and stock kernel that can't boot up to fix it any easy way02:34
PaliI will write to Mikko if he is really going to fix it or not02:35
DocScrutinizer05make sure you have the right "To:" ;-)02:35
DocScrutinizer05and maybe add council to CC02:36
DocScrutinizer05for sure council wants to help on that issue02:36

darodiDocScrutinizer05: so... to summarize03:26
darodi1. uninstall multiboot03:26
darodi2. install uboot03:26
darodi3. upgrade kp51 to kp5203:26
darodi4. create bootmenu items03:26
darodi5. run update boot menu03:26
darodi6. reboot03:26
darodii am right?03:26
darodi0. backup everything :P03:27
*** M4rtinK has quit IRC03:28
DocScrutinizer05hmm, to me that lloks good, but that doesn't mean a thing. I'm no expert03:29
DocScrutinizer05though... upgrade KP nukes uBoot03:30
DocScrutinizer05you need to install KP-uimage03:30
darodithat's what i meant with the point 303:32
darodiinstall uimages for kp and create valid bootmenu items03:32
DocScrutinizer05the idea is that uBoot loads different uImages depending on kernel you want to boot. But the one "built-in" kernel that ships with uBoot is a stock maemo kernel that doesn't work with thumb. So you need the kp52-uimage in place before you install uBoot03:32
DocScrutinizer05yep03:33

divVerentbefore I waste 30minutes to code my own: is there already an "align to grid" tool for hildon-desktop?12:29
*** lost_atlantis has joined #maemo12:29
divVerentif not - it looks like I'll do it as shell script then12:29
jogahmm, I think some theme manager thingy allowed to configure grid snap...12:34
*** Martix has joined #maemo12:34
jogadivVerent, I have something in Settings called Theme Customizer (I forget the package name), it allows to define the snap etc12:35
divVerentodd, as there is no gconf setting for that12:36
divVerentwonder where it sets that then :)12:37
jogadunno :) but I have it set on 8 pixels and when I drag stuff around they align themselves according to that12:37
divVerentOH, so maybe the snap size is part of the theme12:38
divVerentthat'd explain why I don't find it in gconf12:38
divVerentthanks, that did it12:39
divVerentno snap to grid shell script then :)12:40

Macerok. i thought the old ibm mechanical keyboard was cool up until i realized how much noise it makes when you type12:50
Maceri wonder if i can find custom keys for it heh12:50
*** flo_lap has joined #maemo12:53
jogasome of my more special keyboards have this 'plunk' sound they make when you release a key, it sorta echoes inside it also12:58
jogahard to type quietly with those :)12:58

divVerentby setting it to only use mobule internet when asked to16:31
divVerentgood it has options to e.g. only16:32
divVerentcheck email on wifi automatically, and such16:32
divVerentiPhone in same usage pattern took about 500 MB16:32
divVerent100 MB however only due to Opera's Turbo server... otherwise it'd be about 200 MB16:32
