*** torindel has joined #maemo20:49
kolpAgge: Why don't you try? :) apt-get install backupmenu should work if you have extras-devel enabled20:50
AggeI found that I had extras-devel desabled it is updating the package list now20:51
Aggeofcorse I did try first20:51

DocScrutinizer05ussd is completely obsolete21:36
Aggetrying to install backupmenus and it is just giving me different errors21:37
DocScrutinizer05yes, that's why you should use HAM to install certain things21:37
DocScrutinizer05at least one of the reasons21:37
AggeHAM?21:37
DocScrutinizer05maemo is no debian system, when it comes to package management21:38
DocScrutinizer05maemo package management is "slightly" different21:38
DocScrutinizer05it's still using dpkg and apt, but that's not comprehensive to handle the special quirks they build into the package management iat Nokia21:39
AggeHAM= the GUI package manager on the N900?21:40
AggeI just remember it as being a pain to use bocose it was always loading stuff21:40

NIN102I am actually not sure that's the way you should install it.22:25
Aggeright now I am just trying all ways I can think about and see if I can find one that works22:26
kolpFrom the pastebin it looks like optification of those broken packages fails. You should have a look at the directories/files it tries to move and chack what's going wrong there22:26

kolpMaybe reinstall tar et al.22:27
AggeI honestly don't know whare to start with that22:27
AggeI got both tar-gnu and backupmenu installed now by using dpkg22:27
*** valeriusL has joined #maemo22:28
AggeI could probibly fix the rest of the packages by installing them manualy one by one but that seams to much work on a system that I only need funktioning well eniogh to flash a newer frimware to it22:30
kolpTry to reinstall apt-get --reinstall install nano22:30
NIN102"well eniogh to flash a newer frimware to it" since when does flashing require the OS to work?22:30
kolpYou could just boot and try backupmenu then22:30
Aggesince the goide tells you to install backupmenu22:31
NIN102you don't need backupmenu to flash maemo.22:31
kolpOh, that's what you want to do?22:31

NIN101There is only one maintained/daily usable OS for the N900, that's Maemo. If this is what you want to flash, I would carefully read http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_firmware22:38
AggeI did begin with that but it do not in any way specify what files I actualy should download22:39
AggeI don't understand the structure of this is the updated maemo and cssu simular things or should I install one and then the other?22:41
*** torindel has quit IRC22:41
kolpIf you want to start from scratch you flash the latest nokia image first, then update to cssu from there22:41
*** torindel has joined #maemo22:42
Aggeok so I should do that even if I have the latest nokia image installed right now?22:43
*** unclouded has joined #maemo22:44
kolpIf your current install is working then there is no need to reflash, afaik22:45
kolpYou should fix those apt-get errors, though22:46
Aggeso reflashing it is then22:47
Aggewhat file should I actualy download from http://skeiron.org/tablets-dev/nokia_N900/ ?22:47

DocScrutinizer05you haven't read whole page on23:21
DocScrutinizer05~flashing23:21
infobotmaemo-flashing is, like, http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware23:21
AggeI tried but the page is realy comfuslingly written23:22
DocScrutinizer05that's why you need to read it completely23:22
DocScrutinizer05WHO THE HECK WROTE SUCH SHIT TO THAT WIKIPAGE???23:22
Defiantits a wiki :)23:23
AggeIf it is about the warning I think it need to be23:23
*** torindel has quit IRC23:24
Aggethanks kerio it is installing the combined now23:25
*** torindel has joined #maemo23:25
Aggekerio, should I reboot it now or is it any more steps to it?23:26
AggeDocScrutinizer05, seriusly you made the page protected becose of my edit?23:29
DocScrutinizer05no, I protected it because it hasn't seen any need for edits since >2 years23:30
Aggeok If you would alowe it I would like to clean it up or should I make a Updating_the_firmware_cleanup page for that so can you check if for errors befero it go live?23:31
DocScrutinizer05you're free to create a new page23:32
DocScrutinizer05I suggest http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware/rev223:32
DocScrutinizer05but you'll create a LOT of confusion with such activity23:33
*** shentey has quit IRC23:33
Aggeok thanks. sorry about the warning edit but it felt a little iritating when I in my understanding had done everything correct ad it still dident work the way it was suposed to23:33
DocScrutinizer05since... the page been reviewed by literally thousands of users and everybody had to admit there are no errors and no missing info in it23:33
DocScrutinizer05PEBKAC23:34
DocScrutinizer05emphasis on >>I in my understanding<<23:34
DocScrutinizer05I admit it lacked a header telling to REAd THE WHOLE PAGE23:35
Aggeif you say so but the info could be presented in a more logical manner23:35
AggeI am of the opinin that the "REAd THE WHOLE PAGE" EULA shouldent be needed it should be posibel to follow a guide without jumping around in it23:35
DocScrutinizer05the logic of flashing isn't exactly simple, and evidently you didn't understand it yet23:36
Aggeabsolutely true23:36
DocScrutinizer05you don't need to jump around. You read the whole page, and at very end you find >>the complete foolproof flashing procedure<<23:37
*** croppa has joined #maemo23:38
Aggewhat section "Troubleshooting"?23:38
DocScrutinizer05yes23:38
DocScrutinizer05here you are http://privatepaste.com/f3ceae295e23:38
Aggecould you point out what line this refer to Start flasher with above mentioned command to flash (without -R, it's a useless convenience thing). It says "Suitable device not found... waiting" "23:41
Aggeand if that is the best way why not have it as the standard way?23:42
*** hbib1 has quit IRC23:42
DocScrutinizer05because a lot of experienced users argue that the safest way is not the fastest/cleanest/most-convenient way23:43
Aggethanks kerio I got it booting correctly now.23:44
DocScrutinizer05but all the other methods are more prone to mess them up by unsolicited booting of device (-R) etc23:44
DocScrutinizer05and because all this is in that one page, it's looking like it does23:45
AggeI would be happy with a 1. 2. 3. list that say flash this image then flash this image23:45
DocScrutinizer05http://privatepaste.com/f3ceae295e23:45
DocScrutinizer05to understand WHICH images you WNAT to flash to accomplish what you want to do, you need to read the introduction on that page though23:46
DocScrutinizer05usually users do NOT want to flash VANILLA/eMMC image23:47
DocScrutinizer05flashing is a complex stuff, it's not possible to explain it like 1. 2. 3.23:48
Aggethen it might be good if it said that. would I actualy have been ok if I just flashed the rootfs on my old nokia image?23:48
Aggetrue that is why you have a troubleshooting setting23:48
DocScrutinizer05since there are more than one puposes and more than one way to do flashing, depending on a number of conditions23:48

DocScrutinizer05[2013-11-02 19:33:14] <infobot> well, maemo-flashing is http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware23:50
DocScrutinizer05[2013-11-02 19:33:41] <DocScrutinizer05> if that's even what you want to do23:50
DocScrutinizer05see that last line?23:50
*** florian has joined #maemo23:51
Aggeyeah and I did ask "[19:30] <Agge> or should I do somthing else to be able to update my n900 to somthing useful?" before23:51
DocScrutinizer05yeah and I... i'm leaving now, since this is too silly23:52
obiwlanmh... i've got a very old cssu firmware. if i wanted to upgrade to the lastest, would i have to reflash? it's been a long time since i installed it. the neo900 news made be start to tinker with my device again :)23:52
DocScrutinizer05obiwlan: no23:52
DocScrutinizer05obiwlan: should update just fine23:52
obiwlanDocScrutinizer05: great23:53
DocScrutinizer05obiwlan: *might* help to change your system clock to 201123:55
DocScrutinizer05to mitigate effects of exoired nokia signature23:56
DocScrutinizer05expired even23:56
DocScrutinizer05just in case it needs stuff from nokia repo23:56
obiwlandoes anyone have a source for original spare parts? i installed a new touchscreen after the screen surface started to dissolve, but the screen i ordered from ebay looks like there's an oil film on it23:57
DocScrutinizer05o.O23:57
obiwlanDocScrutinizer05: oh, ok .. i noticed some expired gpg keys23:57
DocScrutinizer05yeah, nokia signature23:58
obiwlanalright, thanks for the tip23:58
DocScrutinizer05there are abundance of sources for n900 digitizer, alas I haven't evaluated a single one of them23:59
obiwlanDocScrutinizer05: some claim to have original parts, but i'm quite sure mine isn't original23:59
DocScrutinizer05possible23:59
obiwlanthe n900 font on it is different23:59
DocScrutinizer05there for sure are clones out there23:59
