DocScrutinizer05LOL00:00
_Lenaok00:00
DocScrutinizer05do `root`00:00
DocScrutinizer05then run script00:00
freemangordon_Lena: root00:00
_Lenaroot00:00
freemangordon:nod:00:00
DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: that kernel seems to be a zombie?00:00
_Lena..i have to put it in sudoers00:01
freemangordondo not use sudo00:01
DocScrutinizer05nope00:01
DocScrutinizer05you can do, sure00:01
_Lenai am doing a ssh as root from my pc !00:01
freemangordonhehe00:01
DocScrutinizer05but just doing `sudo gainroot`, or better `root`00:01
freemangordonthen just ./bq27200.sh00:01
freemangordon_Lena: ^^^00:02
freemangordonPali: ping00:02
Palifreemangordon, pong00:02
DocScrutinizer05hi Pali :-D00:02
Palihi :-)00:03
freemangordonPali: IIRC someone reported the same "unable to flash" on KP thread, do you remember what is was?00:03
freemangordon*it00:03
DocScrutinizer05Pali: you raided stock kernel and replaced it by Nokia-N900 2.6.28.10-bfs ?  ;-)00:03
freemangordoni.e. flasher reports success, but it still boots the old kernel00:03
DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: low battery00:04
Palimultiboot00:04
DocScrutinizer05or that00:04
freemangordonyeah00:04
Paliit flashing kernel on startup00:04
DocScrutinizer05:nod:00:04
_Lenano answer from the script00:04
DocScrutinizer05~maemo-multiboot00:04
infobot[maemo-multiboot] deprecated, and a horrible hack.  PROBLEMS WITH NITDROID/MULTIBOOT? reflash rootfs&kernel aka COMBINED00:04
DocScrutinizer05_Lena: o.O00:04
_Lenaonly the promt00:05
Palisometimes when I flashed stock or power kernel in qemu softupd wrote timeout and killed flasher00:05
freemangordonPali: how to check if multiboot is installed?00:05
Paliand nothing was flashed00:05
freemangordondpkg -l | grep multiboot?00:05
Palibut flasher show me that new version was flashed00:06
freemangordonPali: flasher reported sucess00:06
freemangordon*success00:06
DocScrutinizer05_Lena: could you source the script? (`. bq27200.sh` instead `bq27200.sh`)00:06
Palidpkg -l multiboot00:06
Palior apt-cache policy multiboot00:06
Palior apt-cache show multiboot00:07
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: lets see if there is multiboot installed first00:07
DocScrutinizer05sure00:07
DocScrutinizer05I still recommend full COMBINED :-D00:07
freemangordon_Lena: dpkg -l | grep multi00:07
*** andre__ has quit IRC00:08
_Lenayes i got multiboot loader+kernel00:09
DocScrutinizer05yaqy00:10
freemangordonwipe that.00:10
_Lenaand what means "source the script ?00:10
freemangordonPali: how to remove multiboot?00:10
freemangordonapt-get remove?00:11
Palidpkg -P multiboot?00:11
DocScrutinizer05set -v; source ./bq27200.sh00:11
DocScrutinizer05`.` being a shortcut for `source`00:11
DocScrutinizer05(eventually you want to revert the debug flag v, by `set +v`)00:12
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: it looks like HW is ok, lets fix the SW part00:12
_Lenasorry, i dont understand00:12
DocScrutinizer05_Lena: the commandline is:00:12
DocScrutinizer05set -v; source ./bq27200.sh00:13
DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: see ~maemo-multiboot00:13
DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: not a single instance where a user recovered from multiboot without reflash00:13
freemangordonI don't want to see anything multiboot related :P00:13
freemangordonyeah00:14
_Lenai installed multiboot to check  if the n900 chaarges unde nitdroid, but the installation on ny sd failed00:14
DocScrutinizer05_Lena: the suggested sourcing of bq27200.sh should display line by line the exewcution of that script, telling us where it fails00:15
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: though..., for reflash one need working rootfs IIRC00:15
DocScrutinizer05nope00:15
freemangordonor no rootfs at all00:15
DocScrutinizer05WTF???00:15
DocScrutinizer05are you insane?00:15
DocScrutinizer05flashing rootfs does not need a working rootfs00:15
freemangordonme? no, just tired :D00:16
_Lenayes that is what i expected too, vii shows the content, but when running there is no output on the terminal00:16
DocScrutinizer05that's really strange00:16
freemangordon_Lena: vi?00:16
DocScrutinizer05thus I suggested sourcing instead executing the script, which would show line by line00:16
freemangordon_Lena: paste "set -v; source ./bq27200.sh" without quotes in your terminal00:17
DocScrutinizer05you could even make that `set -vx ...   `00:18
_Lenai used "vi", just to check if it downloaded corect00:18
freemangordonaah, ok00:18
_Lenaok00:18
*** shanttu has quit IRC00:18
_Lenanow i see the script00:19
DocScrutinizer05like:00:19
DocScrutinizer05IroN900:~# . bin/bq27200.sh00:19

*** guampa has joined #maemo00:20
DocScrutinizer05set -x00:20
_Lenai got rs=2100:20
DocScrutinizer05then again: . ./bq27200.sh00:20
DocScrutinizer05doesn't matter too much00:20
freemangordon_Lena: can you just pastebin the whole output00:21
DocScrutinizer05there should be lines like00:21
DocScrutinizer05++ echo -n .00:21
DocScrutinizer05.+++ i2cget -y 2 0x55 0x08 w00:22
DocScrutinizer05actually what's last line displayed after `set -vx; source ./bq27200.sh`00:23
DocScrutinizer05or last 2 lines even00:23
*** andre__ has joined #maemo00:24
* DocScrutinizer05 suspects the script can't find i2cget and silently fails00:24
_Lenai get Need ./i2cget00:25
*** foo` has quit IRC00:25
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: hehe00:25
_Lenait iis installed00:25
_Lenawhy  cant yoou giveme the address for the i2c00:26
freemangordonDocScrutinizer51: /usr/bin ?00:26
DocScrutinizer05I'm not sure where it's usually installed00:26
freemangordonwhich i2cget?00:26
DocScrutinizer05_Lena: could you issue cmd `i2cget --help` ?00:27
_Lenaok00:27
_Lenawhat do you need00:27
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: "which i2cget" sounds better00:27
freemangordonit will give her the path to the binary00:28
_Lenaok,  that makes sens00:28
freemangordonso bq... script to be executed from there00:28
DocScrutinizer05_Lena: wget http://maemo.cloud-7.de/maemo5/usr/local/sbin/bq27200.sh00:28
_Lenaok it is in /usr/sbin00:29
DocScrutinizer05^^^ that one not checking for a special location of i2cget00:29
DocScrutinizer05#if [ ! -e i2cget ] ; then00:30
DocScrutinizer05#echo "Need i2cget"00:30
DocScrutinizer05#return00:30
DocScrutinizer05#fi00:30
DocScrutinizer05insane, basically00:30
_Lenathhis one works00:30
DocScrutinizer05that's why I commented it out00:30
_Lenawhich row you need00:30
DocScrutinizer05do ./bq27200.sh 500:30
DocScrutinizer05gives one line00:30
DocScrutinizer05then abort by ^C00:31
DocScrutinizer05second col is mV, we would like to see that00:32
_LenaReported Battery Voltage: 4047 mV00:32
DocScrutinizer055th col is mA, that shows if your battery is actually charging (negative values) or discharging00:33
DocScrutinizer05this voltage should be fine for flashing :-o00:33
DocScrutinizer05though sth >4100 would be better I guess00:34
ShadowJKfreemangordon, can you explain how you're handling the swap now?00:34
_LenaSI: 20 mA STTE: 0 minutes00:34
ShadowJKis kernel-cssu2 an alias for kernelpower :/00:35
DocScrutinizer05nah, SI isn't that interesting00:35
freemangordonShadowJK: when a page comes it goes compressed to the compressed memory pool and uncompressed to the write queue00:35
_Lenaits the 5th row00:35
ShadowJKWell, it's both empty and reaching full00:36
ShadowJK_Lena, you forgot the 5 after ./bq27200.sh00:36
DocScrutinizer05_Lena: I told to run it with parameter 5, then go for 5th col, not 5th row00:36

freemangordonwhen there is no more memory fro the compressed pool, i free 128 pages00:37
freemangordons/fro/in/00:37
infobotfreemangordon meant: when there is no more memory in the compressed pool, i free 128 pages00:37
_Lenaif i  begiin  whith do i get an error so i typed sh ./bq27200.sh00:38
ShadowJKHow big is the compressed pool?00:38
DocScrutinizer05anyway, it's not that relevant now00:39

DocScrutinizer05sorry00:40
DocScrutinizer05(don't type the ` )00:41
ShadowJKfreemangordon, so is kernel-cssu3 a separate kernel or alias for kp?00:41
_Lenash: syntax error: "do" unexpected00:41
freemangordonShadowJK: it is KP00:41
DocScrutinizer05yeah, that was never meant to get typed as well00:41
ShadowJKok00:41

_Lenasorry, i dindnt know that...now i  got results00:42
_Lena-168ma00:42
DocScrutinizer05sorry I changed my "syntax" several times :-) I'll try to use `cmd paramater` syntax now00:42
_Lenaupdating every 5 sec00:42
freemangordonhmm, it is charging :D00:43
DocScrutinizer05stop it with ctrl + c00:43
_Lenaok00:43
_Lenaare you shure that it is charging !?00:44
DocScrutinizer05what's TTE ?00:44
_Lenatte=000:44
DocScrutinizer05looks like it's neither charging nor discharging00:45
DocScrutinizer05or rather looks like bogus values00:45
DocScrutinizer05:-o00:45
freemangordon_Lena: what is the output of "lsmod | grep bq"00:46
_Lenawhen i leave the phone over night conected whithg the charger it will not charge up00:46
freemangordonwihtout quotes00:46
DocScrutinizer05Average Current (mA, 5th col) shall be negative while charging00:46
freemangordon -168ma ?!?00:46
_Lenanot loaded00:46
_Lenayes it shows  values between -232 and - 11100:47
DocScrutinizer05err wait00:47
DocScrutinizer05I often confuse those 200:47
_Lenaand the voltage varies !...very strange00:48
DocScrutinizer05nope, in fact negative current seems to indicate discharge00:48
DocScrutinizer05varying voltage is normal00:49
DocScrutinizer05the higher the discharge current the weaker the voltage00:49
_Lenayes, normal, forgot the high resistance of lion00:50
freemangordonanyway, the question is why flashing cannot be started00:51
DocScrutinizer05TTE = 65535 means it's charging00:51
DocScrutinizer05TimeToEmpty of anything less means it's discharging00:51
DocScrutinizer05the value is in minutes00:51
freemangordonTTE: 000:51
freemangordonTTF: 6553500:52
DocScrutinizer05that's same as 65535 it seems00:52
freemangordonbut it is TTF, not TTE00:52
DocScrutinizer0523:47 4180 100  100  0    1145 1145 1145 0     65535 32  NOACT:0 IMIN:0 CI:0 CALIP:0 VDQ:1 EDV1:0 EDVF:000:52
freemangordon<_Lena> CSOC: 0 % RSOC: 0 % Average Current: 177 mA TTF: 65535 minutes TTE: 0 minutes00:53
DocScrutinizer05TTE = 0 would mean it actually is completely discharged00:53
freemangordonbq reports nonsense00:53
DocScrutinizer05nah00:53
freemangordonbut?00:54
DocScrutinizer05it's massively decalibrated00:54
freemangordonthat should not stop BME to start charging AIUI00:54
DocScrutinizer05for sure not00:54
*** rZr is now known as rzr00:54
freemangordonhmm, "not charging, insufficient power"00:55
_Lenacould be decalibrated, because of swapping permanently the batteries maybe00:55
DocScrutinizer05yes00:55
DocScrutinizer05sure thing00:55
freemangordonat least BME tries to00:55
*** rzr is now known as RzR00:55
freemangordon_Lena: what wall charger do you use, original Nokia?00:56
freemangordon1200mA00:56
DocScrutinizer05watch voltage, if it rises then battery gets charge, if it drops you're discharging it00:56
DocScrutinizer05anyway, no use in trying to fix that mess, reflash when your battery has >4100mV00:57
DocScrutinizer05if that doesn't work, we need to check your PC00:58
DocScrutinizer05it should however pass the NOLO battery test00:58
_LenaYes, but since 1 month i cant use it anymore. since then i bought a charger where i can put my battery in for charging00:58
DocScrutinizer05the wallcharger might be defect00:58
freemangordonsince you installed kernel-bfs?00:58
DocScrutinizer05unrelated00:59
freemangordoni know, but still00:59
DocScrutinizer05?00:59
_Lenathen same effect like charging in the nokia 5800 from my friend00:59
DocScrutinizer05_Lena: try to get a completely charged battery (voltage >4100mV), then try flashing again01:00
_Lenaok, i got another battery, charged whith 4.19 volt01:00
DocScrutinizer05could you test it with bq27200.sh prior to proceeding to flash?01:01
freemangordonwell I still think it might be that part of NOLO is damaged01:01
_Lenaok,01:01
DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: we never seen such thing yet01:02
freemangordonI know01:02
freemangordonbut it is not hard to be achieved01:02
DocScrutinizer05it's however very hard to ruin NOLO like THAT01:02
freemangordonwell, if the code for flashing is at the end of the partition, imagine.01:03
DocScrutinizer05how would you nuke the end of partition?01:03
freemangordonNFC01:03
DocScrutinizer05me neither ;-P01:04
freemangordonbut in principle01:04
DocScrutinizer05in principle you could write a nifty program that accomplishes that01:04
DocScrutinizer05ech foobar >mtd will nuke start of partition, not end01:04
freemangordonyou will have a working kernel loader and wd kicking when you try to reflash01:04
freemangordonand AIUI it is what happens, WD kicks in01:05
*** _rd has quit IRC01:05
DocScrutinizer05nope01:05
*** gn00b has joined #maemo01:05
freemangordonbut? MOLO tries to charge the battery?01:05
DocScrutinizer05it tries to boot linux, and fails on that01:05
freemangordonwhen 'u'is pressed?01:06
_Lenaok it shows 4139 mv01:06
DocScrutinizer05very good01:06
DocScrutinizer05now see if you can get it to keep USB icon on NOKIA screen when holding 'u' key01:06
DocScrutinizer05do NOT run flasher on PC, when plugging in01:07
_Lenausualy i cant, but i will try01:07
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: isn;t it better to use wall charger instead of PC01:07
freemangordon?01:07
freemangordonfor battery chaeck01:07
freemangordon*check01:07
DocScrutinizer05if wallcharger is borked, it will confuse hell out of us01:07
ShadowJKfreemangordon, I like what I see in iostat so far01:08
DocScrutinizer05but yes, it should get tested with both PC *and* wallcharger01:08
freemangordonShadowJK: iostat -k 1 gives between 256k and 4M, depending on how big the queue is01:09
ShadowJKfreemangordon, I like what I see in the avrq-sz column01:09
DocScrutinizer05_Lena: try with both - PC and wallcharger, if any of both can make N900 keep the USB icon01:09
ShadowJKI'm used to seeing more reads when using fennec though, maybe that's all going through the compressed pool now01:10
freemangordonas queue is written async, we may have lots more to write, when the writing starts01:10
freemangordonShadowJK: are you trying it?01:10
_Lenawhen the phone is off and i plug in the usbcable the phone starts imidietly  whith the reboot-loop, no usb symbol01:10
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: see01:11
freemangordonit is NOLO01:11
DocScrutinizer05_Lena: you are holding down the u key all the time?01:11
_Lenayes01:11
ShadowJKfreemangordon, yes on my backup n90001:11
DocScrutinizer05what power source you used?01:11
freemangordonShadowJK: have in mind to not use it for more than 5-10 minutes01:11
freemangordononce all of the blacks onm BSWAP device are used, you'll get oops01:12
freemangordon*blocks01:12
DocScrutinizer05_Lena: what power source you used?01:12
ShadowJKhehe01:12
_Lenabattery01:12
DocScrutinizer05:-S you either used PC or wallcharger01:12
freemangordonShadowJK: I did't write defragmentation part, as I am not sure it makes sense01:13
DocScrutinizer05_Lena: try with both - PC and wallcharger, if any of both can make N900 keep the USB icon01:13
freemangordoni.e. if the basic functionality is broken...01:13
_Lenahow can i conect the wallcharrger whhen i want the usb icon ?01:13
freemangordon_Lena: in the same way01:14
_Lenai  thhoght  i only coomes when i conect the phone ton my pc01:14
freemangordonno01:14
DocScrutinizer05_Lena: power down N900, hold u key, plug in wallcharger01:14
freemangordonit should come when you use walcharger too01:14
freemangordon:nod:01:14
_Lenanothing, just the reboot-loop i explaind before01:15
DocScrutinizer05:-(01:15
freemangordonNOLO.01:15
_Lenai have to remove the battery to stop the reboot01:15
DocScrutinizer05that means you either got a defect N900 hw, or freemangordon is right and you actually need a coldflash now01:15
_Lenai think i got nothing to loose whith a cold flash01:16
freemangordonnothing but time, as it is tricky :D01:16
DocScrutinizer05coldflashing is a rather untested procedure though - at least I never did it01:16
freemangordonI've done it01:16
DocScrutinizer05fine, then talk her thru it01:17
freemangordonit was loong time ago01:17

DocScrutinizer05that's why I deprecate messing with busybox(-power) for initscripts etc03:01
DocScrutinizer05initscripts *might* rely on bugs in busybox which when fixed may cause system failure03:01
DocScrutinizer05and WFM doesn't count here, unless you did a proper code coverage analysis in all scripts03:02
DocScrutinizer05the bug may show up only for asian version, or only on full moon, whatever03:03

lardmanteotwaki: oh dear, sorry to hear that15:15
teotwakiI hope they do too, but still put a vapourware sticker on that.15:15
teotwakiWell, I put a bid under the value of the house, I knew it was risky, I didn't think someone else would make an offer the exact same day I did, though.15:16
lardmanthey didn't come back to you for a counter offer?15:16
lardmanwhere are you buying? France?15:16
lardmanI am currently looking at tablets, and wondering what the state of GPU driver support is like, while also thinking of holding off for a Mali T6xx with OpenCL support (which would be pretty cool)15:18
teotwakilardman: yeah, looking to buy in southern France, the prices are low, and the market is good (not many people buying, nor able to get loans). I managed to get a pretty low-interest loan, so I could buy an entry-level house off in roughly 10-15 years.15:19
lardmancool :)15:19
teotwakiAnd that's only with my salary, my girlfriend still studying and all.15:19
teotwakiSo that would mean that around age 40, we could purchase a second house, while renting out the first, with two salaries.15:20

lardmanstrange they didn't just leave a hole for it then16:00
SpeedEvilno point having a pointless hole in the back16:01
SpeedEvilbut reengineering the other stuff would have had a cost16:01
lardmanah sorry I misread, though you meant only the hole was missing, not the components too16:01
SpeedEvilyah, the moduke/connector aren't there16:02
lardmane.g. http://www.androidauthority.com/google-nexus-7-jelly-bean-tablet-design-includes-back-camera-104203/ just saw the hole in question16:02
vi_I have a USB battery pack.16:04
SpeedEvilit's quite obvious when you open the back what it's for16:04
vi_I plug it into my n900 and nothing happens.16:04
vi_that is, no 'charging' message and now charging icon.16:04
*** dhbiker has quit IRC16:04
vi_However if I use the bq2x00 script, it clearly shows the device is charging.16:05
vi_how is this possible?16:05
vi_that is, no 'charging' message and no charging icon or LED.16:05
lardmanis the charging icon only shown then the current in>>current out16:06
lardmanso you may be supplying a current equal to that currently being used, and therefore not triggering the charging inidcators?16:06
DocScrutinizer05vi_: seems that even without D+- short the bq24150 starts charging sometimes, when VBUS present16:07
lardmanwhat does the script show for the battery pack vs usual wall wart?16:07
lardmanand that was the other option, it won't tell you it's charging unless the USB cable is correctly detected16:07
DocScrutinizer05vi_: replug!16:08
vi_DocScrutinizer05: I have done several times.16:08
DocScrutinizer05vi_: ok16:08
DocScrutinizer05so I guess it's not D+- shorted16:08
vi_I know it is charging, I thought it was a bit odd that it has given no indication of this though.16:08
vi_d+- are not shorted, it is using a standard USB cable.16:09
vi_...16:09
vi_Don't know about the external battery pack though.16:09
DocScrutinizer05vi_: the bq24150 starts charging quasi-autonomously. Even when BME and evil friends don't think there's any proper charging source16:09
vi_DocScrutinizer05: good...i think.16:10
DocScrutinizer05vi_: a charger without D+- short is basically a USB host that doesn't reply, so probably the whole crap in N900 waits for ENUM16:10
vi_DocScrutinizer05: way to miss out a case in the if/else.16:11
DocScrutinizer05please rephrase16:11
vi_if(this){do this} else {that}16:12
vi_If it gets stuck at 'that' forever, then it is no good.16:12
DocScrutinizer05o.O16:12
DocScrutinizer05you might be right. I'm missing any question though, also don't see the relation to BME/charging16:13

*** hardaker has joined #maemo16:16
DocScrutinizer05anyway, funny enough I've seen that "PCsuite / assRage?" requester several times when plugging in or unplugging(!) wallcharger too slowly, so leading contacts for GND/VBUS made contact before D+ and D- to detect short on those16:19

ShadowJKIt's for sure better than the normal ramzswap backing swap16:27
vi_freemangordon: is there any chance you could enable compcache statistics, at least for some of these testing versions?16:28

jaskaid look it up but the machine that has my sdk vm is not on16:47
DocScrutinizer05ohyeah16:47
DocScrutinizer05i'm more concerned about wasted space for bottom bar16:48
jaskaoh, i disable that16:48
vi_DocScrutinizer05: fullscreen it.16:48
jaskai was looking into making a smaller bottom bar16:48
DocScrutinizer05vi_: ???16:48
jaskabut i just threw it away16:48
vi_DocScrutinizer05: You are shitting me.  You are aware osso-xterm can go full screen, no bottom bar right?16:48
DocScrutinizer05no16:49
DocScrutinizer05my fullscreen xterm still has bottom bar16:49
vi_nothing but glorious console all over the screen, no buttons.16:49
jaskayeah, i run mine sans titlebar or bottom bar16:49
vi_jaska: just like the pros16:49
jaskathink some gconf setting toggles it16:49
DocScrutinizer05after all, without bottom fullscreen symbol, how would you end fullscreen mode?16:50
jaskaon mine you press fn-shift-y16:50
jaskaor fn-shift-backspace16:50
jaska(f6)16:50
vi_f616:51
DocScrutinizer05tsss16:51
vi_next question: How do I F6?16:51
vi_answer:16:51
DocScrutinizer05I prefer F6 free for cli apps using F616:51
jaskactrl-backspace lets me taskswitch16:51
vi_~vi-kbd16:51
infoboti heard vi-kbd is http://wiki.maemo.org/Remapping_keyboard/user_vis_awesome_kbdmapping16:51
DocScrutinizer05btw iirc F6 is already bound to VOL- or sth like that16:51
vi_F6 is built into osso-xterm, it will swallow F6 anyway.16:52
vi_vol is F7, F816:52
jaskait was f6 back in diablo too16:52
DocScrutinizer05whatever, cya16:52
vi_Fsck knows why F6 disables full screen, there is no F6 key.  Anywhere.16:53
jaskaalso osso-xterm doesnt observe the disable-bottombar thingy until you fullscreen by default16:53
jaskathink its some bug16:53
*** e-yes has quit IRC16:54
jaskabut if you f6 f6 it obeys16:54
vi_yah16:54
jaskai guess i should make it so that i can copypasta from hotkeys16:54

Skrymy first was RH5, amiga os before that18:35

freemangordonvi_: Debian comes with gnome2 or 3?18:38
vi_debian comes with whatever the fuck you want.18:38
Skryvi_: mm, takes few hours in arch to set everything up first time, then you dont need to do anything if you dont want to, it's rollin'18:39
DocScrutinizer51it's a *real* distro18:39
vi_You download the minimal install.18:39
freemangordonvi_: remember, you are helping a windoze user to turn into the "real OS' user :P18:39
vi_Then just get whatever you want over the net.18:39
vi_freemangordon: ??? I thought you where a 'nix pro!18:39
freemangordonhehe18:40
vi_the debian installer gives you a choice of DE as I recall.18:40

vi_How old is your computer?18:41
freemangordonit is relatively new18:42
freemangordonbut it started from 486DX2/10018:42
DocScrutinizer51well, no help from my side, I stopped using win at home with win9818:42
DocScrutinizer51some 13 years ago18:42
freemangordoni've upgraded either HW or OS, but without losing anything18:43
vi_freemangordon: the same case?18:43
DocScrutinizer51so have I18:43
vi_freemangordon: Well if you want to go 'nix you may want to consider backing up all your shit.18:44
DocScrutinizer51started on KDE1 and suse4 iirc18:44
freemangordonAnd BH I am too old to use lynx to ask google what packages I am supposed to install to have X running18:44
vi_But you seem to know your way around linux.18:44
vi_freemangordon: lols18:44
freemangordonyeah18:44
vi_you use links2 with svga frame buffer.18:44
freemangordonhehe18:44
*** stardiviner has quit IRC18:45
vi_freemangordon: It used to be setting up Xserver was the mark of a boy who had progressed to manhood.18:45
freemangordonthat is why I wanted ubuntu. Not anymore, if I wanted android ads shit I wouldn't have bought n900 ;)18:45
vi_now it is not so difficult.18:45
vi_freemangordon: Go for linux mint then.18:45
freemangordonvi_: Been there done that18:45
Skryfreemangordon: Mint has cinnamon which is pretty much gnome3 made usable/gnome2 like, and it has compatibility with ubuntu, and offers also other DE's, admittably it is as bloated as ubuntu. Xubuntu is also a very good distro based on buntu. Mint is also wife approved, at least in here, so it is pretty trouble free and comes with etc essential multimedia shits preinstalled. I still recommend giving some effort and going with bare debian, arch or18:45
freemangordonvi_: I mean bringing X up, with RH6.3 and FC118:46
vi_fuck dat.18:46
freemangordonso, going to install debian18:47
freemangordonwill see ...18:47
vi_good choice.18:47
DocScrutinizer51shrug18:47
freemangordonwhich version would you recommend?18:47
vi_It is a nice balance between power and automation.18:47
vi_personally I would go with unstable.18:47
DocScrutinizer51seems my friend had no trouble at all to install FC on the toughbook he sold to me18:48
Skryas would i18:48
vi_It is generally quite stable.18:48
freemangordonDocScrutinizer51: actually I liked FC lots in the past.18:48
raccoon_+1 on unstable, however testing is quick enough to make use of most bleeding edge updates18:48
raccoon_but unstable is really not that unstable as it sounds :)18:48
vi_testing is what I meant!18:48

freemangordonI am18:51
freemangordonand unfortuantely no option here, I need it for my work :(18:52
vi_http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/18:52
DocScrutinizer51it's all opposite of a proper distro under professional maintenance, like RH/fedora or (even better) suse18:52
vi_freemangordon: Personally I prefer the netinst.  That is network installer.18:53
freemangordonDocScrutinizer51: I am not sure how will SB cope with fedora and rpms ;)18:53
Skrytbh I find nothing else wrong with fedora but their switch to defaulting gnome3, otherwise a very good distro.18:53
vi_It is a smaller download and you don't have to update right away.18:53
freemangordonvi_: yeah, downloading it18:53
DocScrutinizer51meh, I got it installwd on suse18:54
vi_freemangordon: backup your shit.18:54
vi_freemangordon: This thing will install grub on your computer.18:54
Skryfreemangordon: you can get SB running on just about every distro, and dpkg can be installed18:54
vi_While it is usually safe it could potentially hose your MBR.18:54
raccoon_freemangordon: i would also recommend #debian for pointers on how to get up and running!18:54
freemangordonsure, but i'd prefer to have debs natively supported18:55
vi_oh god, #debian.18:55
freemangordonraccoon_: well, I don't think I will have any problems with installation18:55
raccoon_freemangordon: nah, i meant more practical questions, how to do things in debian compared to other systems18:55
freemangordonMy questions are related to user experience18:56
vi_freemangordon: also: http://smxi.org/18:56
freemangordonaah, ok18:56
raccoon_there's a debian way of doing most stuff, as well as there's a fedora way, an arch way, gentoo way, etc18:56
vi_handy little script to automate updating/installing some stuff.18:56
vi_I even use it in easy debian!18:56
raccoon_i for one like to get a grip of those parts when learning a new distro18:56
vi_freemangordon: user experiance?18:56
