IRC log of #maemo for Sunday, 2016-01-17

Maxdamantusbencoh: I imagine it's probably about the same as the N900 while both are idling.00:00
bencohno00:00
bencohnot at all00:00
bencohn900 needs around 5~10mAh idle00:00
MaxdamantusMaybe mine never idles then.00:00
bencohrpi is more like 300mAh (three freaking hundred)00:01
MaxdamantusPi Zero.00:01
MaxdamantusThe zero one apparently uses a bit less than the other models.00:01
Maxdamantusoh, maybe the same as the A+.00:01
bencohA+ goes down to 100.00:01
Maxdamantushttp://raspi.tv/2015/raspberry-pi-zero-power-measurements00:02
bencohseriously, why do you need 100mAh to idle?00:02
bencohhttp://raspi.tv/2015/raspberry-pi-zero-power-measurements00:02
bencohah :)00:02
bencohthat's both stupid and crazy00:02
bencohthey just dont care about that aspect00:03
MaxdamantusI imagine you could put it to sleep while intending to actually idle it.00:03
bencohit's a cheap broadcom SoC for the set-top boxes market00:03
MaxdamantusIt's also not entirely clear what it means by "idling".00:05
MaxdamantusIf you're running Debian you've probably already got a bunch of crappy services doing random stuff all the time.00:05
Maxdamantusand according to a not-particularly-authoritative comment below, you can save another 20 mAh by disabling the LEDs and .. HDMI.00:07
MaxdamantusI imagine there are a bunch of other things you can do to reduce the idle draw.00:07
bencohMaxdamantus: just have a look at the different phone/tablet projects00:07
bencohthey're happy when they can run their stuff a few hours on a huge battery00:07
Maxdamantuser, 20 mA*00:08
bencohno, seriously, this is not the way to go, you'd be wasting your time00:08
bencohI'd rather go help the neo900 guys, or ask pyra and/or opendelico about working something around their omap5 board(s)00:09
Maxdamantusbtw, all of your uses of mAh should probably have been mA.00:21
Maxdamantusunless you meant over an hour.00:21
bencoherr right, mA00:25

OksanaaIf I wish to add to maemo's understanding of location, so that it would be able to use not only gps (internal or external), but also IP and cellular-tower-id as sources of info, where should a bit of code be added?06:29
OksanaaOr does Maemo already use cellular tower info, and it's only backwards AU that 'blocks' geographical location of cellular towers from being provided to cellular handset?06:32
OksanaaIf it's the case of backwards-cellular-towers, it would have been useful to make a plugin (with offline database) which 'unlocks' lat and long of towers06:34

KotCzarnybencoh, well, if you dont mind carrying something double in size as n900, one could use 2x18650 etc and get ~5000mAh/100mA=50h09:40
KotCzarnywhich isnt that bad09:40
KotCzarnybut that number would rise if you count wifi/gsm and or using it in some way09:40
KotCzarnystill, broadcom09:40
KotCzarnyon a side note, my banana pi m1 uses ~200mA in idle (didnt try to optimize it yet)09:41
KotCzarnyand thats with wifi chip connected09:42
* Maxdamantus could probably experiment with one of his Raspberry Pis some time.09:45
* Maxdamantus thinks his ones might be A+.09:45
KotCzarnymaxd, why not bananas?09:45
MaxdamantusI don't think they existed at the time.09:45
Maxdamantusor if they did, I wasn't aware of them.09:45
MaxdamantusI bought them around the end of 2013.09:45
KotCzarnyyeah, bananas were out in 201409:45
MaxdamantusAh, no. They're model B. (0x000e)09:52

tryagain_Hi! I've got a mail saying navit 0.5.0+dfsg.1-1maemo1~6534 has been queued for loading into fremantle extras-devel repository12:28
tryagain_How much time should it take to load it to extras-devel?12:29
tryagain_doest it require some manual intervention or is it an automatic process?12:29
tryagain_*does12:30
ceeneit is automatic12:31
ceeneit takes the autobuilder a couple hours to build the .deb12:32
ceeneand another two hours or so after that to be available to apt12:32

tryagain_strange, here i have only two packages http://maemo.org/packages/source/view/fremantle_extras-devel_free_source/navit/0.5.0+dfsg.1-1maemo1~6534/14:10
tryagain_but here are more reported https://garage.maemo.org/builder/fremantle/navit_0.5.0+dfsg.1-1maemo1~6534/14:10
ceeneold versions get removed from the archives, i think14:11
freemangordontryagain_: be patient, it takes time, soon or later the packages will appear14:14
ceeneyeah, don't worry14:14
ceeneif the build log says it has succeeded, everything is fine14:15
tryagain_okay, i just thought they all should appear nearly at the same time14:15
freemangordonPali: I've finished with worldclock, there is more to be optimized and/or fixed code wise but for now I am fed with it. Feel free to take it from here if you feel so.14:15
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: well, the point was - test it please :)14:16
freemangordonI did tons of changes, most probably I introduced some bugs14:16
bencohtryagain_: autotool build?14:27
Paliok14:31
*** sleepee has joined #maemo14:31
merlin1991tryagain_: they appear at the same time in the repository, but the data on the website runs on a different schedule14:42
freemangordonmerlin1991: hi!14:42
merlin1991hey14:42
freemangordonmerlin1991: when we are going to have cssu meeting?14:42
freemangordonmerlin1991: there is lots of new stuff14:43
merlin1991starting monday any day is fine for me14:43
merlin1991btw tryagain_ did you contact the original maintainer for navit?14:43
freemangordonmerlin1991: well, maybe choose a date and send a mail?14:44
sixwheeledbeastfreemangordon: I gathered that ;)14:47
freemangordonok :)14:47
freemangordonjust to make sure :p14:47
sixwheeledbeastfreemangordon: it wishes to pull in a later version of qt on my cssu-stable device is that expected?14:48
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: you can't test that on -stable14:48
freemangordonyes, there is newer qt in -testing14:48
sixwheeledbeastfreemangordon: I have done in the past...14:48
freemangordonand I guess it was auto made a dependency14:49
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: pester merlin1991 to issue new update to -stable :)14:49
sixwheeledbeast0.6-1+0cssu3-1 is installed at the moment14:49
sixwheeledbeast:nod: :)14:50
OksanaaWhat are the changes to worldclock? :curious:14:50
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: sorry, he stuff in -devel was never meant to be used with enything else but -testing14:50
* Oksanaa should read the logs...14:51
sixwheeledbeastfreemangordon: I get that, but Ihave used the odd package before :)14:51
freemangordonOksanaa: https://github.com/community-ssu/clock-ui/commits/master14:51
freemangordonfor the last ~10 months14:51
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: you have been lucky :)14:52
bencohsixwheeledbeast: if you want to try the stuff in -devel, clone the git and build in sb :)14:52
freemangordon:nod:14:52
freemangordonbut, won;t fly this time14:52
bencoh(unless you want to try recent hildon stuff)14:52
freemangordonbecause there is also an updated maemo-launcher in -devel, with support for qt as well14:53
bencohfreemangordon: oh, you pushed that thing?14:53
freemangordonyes14:53
bencohhmm, original world-clock was in gtk right?14:53
sixwheeledbeastfreemangordon: installed on -testing device14:54
freemangordonhttps://github.com/community-ssu/maemo-launcher/commit/3692cb9656c1a979f31fa077e527a9cfb14c9bd014:54
freemangordonbencoh: yes14:54
* Oksanaa would have liked if everything stayed in gtk+hildon. All the qt is entirely alien...14:54
freemangordonOksanaa: well, not really14:54
freemangordonit just starts a little bit slower14:54
freemangordonbut with booster-qt and good programming, it is <1s difference14:55
OksanaaWell, it looks different?14:55
sixwheeledbeastfreemangordon: it seems to ignore default fonts and the clock is a bit further up the window but appears to work14:55
freemangordondeveloping in qt is waaay more easy then with gkt14:55
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: "ignore default fonts"?14:56
OksanaaWell, is it difference between Objective-C and C-something?14:56
*** andril has quit IRC14:56
freemangordonOksanaa: can;t parse14:57
bencohit doesnt look too different14:57
*** at1as has joined #maemo14:57
sixwheeledbeastfreemangordon: sorry, my mistake I changed the theme on my testing device recently :facepalm:14:57
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: hmm, yes, you're right, clock is not vertically centered14:57
OksanaaI mean, the difference in coding between gtk and qt, is it because coding is in different programming languages, or is it because gtk widgets are inherently more difficult?14:58
sixwheeledbeasti have ubuntu fonts on the other theme14:58
sixwheeledbeastqt is c and more people can code c?14:59
freemangordonwell, qt is c++, gtk is c14:59
sixwheeledbeastah14:59
freemangordonthe problem is that gtk tries to mimic c++14:59
OksanaaAnd C++ people stumble over coding in gtk+c?15:00
bencohthey usually stumble on every non-object language anyway, but that's not the point :*15:01
freemangordonno, it is simply that C is not meant for that purpose. At least to me it is like "you can't see the forest because of the woods"15:01
freemangordonI prefer C usually ;)15:01
bencoh:)15:02
OksanaaOkay... But Nokia did code it all in gtk+c, hence, it's possible15:02
freemangordonsure it is15:02
freemangordonit is simply that it is harder, at least for me. To code UI in gtk than on Qt that is15:02
bencohI think that's more of a personal taste, I still prefer writing gtk stuff over qt (but I'm not good at writing GUIs anyway)15:02
OksanaaIt's like, if you like qt, feel free to code an all-qt version of maemo, but mixing gtk and qt in the same app can only be seen as cruel15:03
bencohOksanaa: it's not in the same app :)15:03
Oksanaayes ;-)15:03
Oksanaayet*15:03
Oksanaa:-D ^15:03
freemangordonhow am I supposed to open an issue on github?!?15:04

tryagain_merlin1991 yep, woglinde said he had added me as admin, but i see me at navit-packaging rather than at navit itself. Have to figure out what it means.16:21

*** FlameReaper has joined #maemo16:43
tryagain_Sicelo it's an offline navigation program, with routing, highly configurable. Maps are based on OSM data.16:44
Siceloi once installed it, but couldn't get it to work .. maybe i was just being dumb.16:44
tryagain_Though some additional steps are required to use it, at least map should be downloaded manually16:44
tryagain_also, there's no osd items configured by now16:45
tryagain_so manual editing of xml file is needed16:45
ceenewhich is the kernel format that 0xffff sends to the n900? zImage? zImage+device tree?16:45
ceenei guess it's the latter?16:45
SicelozImage16:45
ceeneno device tree?16:46
Siceloi don't know about that .. ask Pali :)16:46
Sicelobut zImage alone should suffice16:46
ceeneok, i'll try that later16:46
ceenethanks16:46
bencohceene: fmg/pali were working on DT16:47
Siceloflasher-3.5 needs just zImage .. so that should be ok with 0xFFFF too. there was no DT in those days (or at least it wasn't the standard)16:47
Pali0xFFFF sends any bootable image16:47
bencohit should be compiled in if enabled (?)16:47
Paliand if you are using DT based boot, you must append DTS after zImage16:48
bencohah16:48
tryagain_Sicelo At the moment, i'm attempting just to make it build and get feedback from our existing users (we had for a few years a separate build maintained in private repo)16:48
bencohnevermind what I just said then16:48

freemangordonLOL github automatically closed an issue based on the commit message. Nice :)16:57
bencoh:)16:57
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: so, you think text should be clickable as well?16:58
freemangordonI can make text besides icons clickable, but using a list there seems like a terrible idea16:59
sixwheeledbeastfreemangordon: :nod: that's how it was. I actually  thought it was broken until I started tapping the screen all over.16:59
freemangordonIdeally, there should be a background image16:59
freemangordonyes, I know how it was16:59
sixwheeledbeastok17:00
freemangordonbut - the correct was is to have a background image, similar to that in portrait mode. Imagine what mess will happen if we overlay tree view over a background17:01
freemangordons/was/way17:01
freemangordons/portrait/landscape17:01
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: though, making text clickable makes sense, WIll do it17:02
sixwheeledbeastIn OMP there is no background image in portrait17:02
sixwheeledbeastit's also a list view17:02
sixwheeledbeastI guess they where designed to look/feel similar17:02
Luke-JrPali: pong17:02
freemangordonand OMP is where most of the code in adeclock was steal from ;)17:02
freemangordonhmm, no "stealed" word in english? I thought steal is a regular verb.17:03
sixwheeledbeastah makes sense17:03
freemangordonoh, no17:03
sixwheeledbeaststolen in english ;)17:04
freemangordonyeah :)17:04
*** shentey has joined #maemo17:04
PaliLuke-Jr: I'm going to push your patches for kdepim noakonadi, ok? or is there something wrong with them?17:04
sixwheeledbeasthowever stolen would indicate it's not FOSS so maybe borrowed is appropriate17:05
sixwheeledbeast:D17:05
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: introducing tree view for portrait makes UI inconsistent, we either use tree for both or for none, IMO17:06
freemangordonyeah, borrowed :D17:06
freemangordonhowever, I'll make text clickable too, as in stock it is17:07
*** xes_ has joined #maemo17:07
sixwheeledbeastOh I see your point. I would think the idea was to have the landscape UI imitate stock, so the landscape background image lines up.17:08

*** xelo has joined #maemo17:11

sixwheeledbeastI suppose if the text is clickable that would be fine.17:12
freemangordon:nod:17:13
sixwheeledbeastOh another thing I noticed was the "highlighted fade" isn't used on the date and time button. Not an issue but may look nicer with the fade on?17:15
freemangordonI guess I can implement another type of button, more wide, so when the text is clicked (in portrait) to be highlighted17:16
sixwheeledbeastsounds good17:16
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: hmm? that depends on the theme17:16
*** sleepee has quit IRC17:16
sixwheeledbeastdoes it?17:16

freemangordonsorry,   /etc/hildon/theme/images/320IconHighlight.png17:17
freemangordonthis is what stock uses17:17
sixwheeledbeastah I didn't know that17:17
freemangordonyou're too used to adeclock :p17:17
freemangordonbut I have a freshly flashed device in front of me to compare with17:18
sixwheeledbeastYes, and my broken theme. Made by another broken package "theme-customizer" :shiver:17:18
sixwheeledbeastI'll shut up now :)17:19
freemangordonhmm, why?17:19
freemangordonyour feedback is very useful17:19
sixwheeledbeast:)17:19
freemangordonno, really17:19
sixwheeledbeastthat actually makes sense now looking at the old adeclock. I wondered why the time and date had separate buttons one with fade and one without.17:22
sixwheeledbeasthow silly.17:22
sixwheeledbeastI am happy to help where I can, but I am no coder.17:23
freemangordonI need testers, not coders, as I am17:23
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: BTW, I don;t know if it is clear, but alarms are ordered in the list :)17:27
freemangordonenabled on top, ordered by alarm time17:27
sixwheeledbeastfreemangordon: ordered how? I have no alarms on -testing device17:27
freemangordonyes17:28
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: add a couple of alarms and you'll see17:29
sixwheeledbeastok, I'll have a play now17:29
sixwheeledbeastoh I see, I think the old one was last active.17:35
sixwheeledbeastThat would confuse me a little I think. If you use the alarm on one date for example.17:36
sixwheeledbeastyou may reactivate it not realising the date has past17:36
freemangordonlemme try17:38
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: BTW, can you?17:38
freemangordon(activate an alarm with a date in the past)?17:38
sixwheeledbeastAh17:39
freemangordonhmm?17:40
freemangordonhmm, crashed :)17:41
sixwheeledbeastI can't set one in the past, so let me try set one now and reactivate it in a sec17:41
sixwheeledbeastyep crash17:41
freemangordonresulted in a crash here17:41
freemangordonok, I guess that should be fixed17:42
sixwheeledbeast:)17:42
freemangordonBTW, how was that in the old adeclock?17:42
sixwheeledbeastI'll try17:42
freemangordonI guess the correct behaviour is to open the edit dialog17:42
sixwheeledbeastfreemangordon: it won't let you check it, in adeclock17:44
sixwheeledbeastthat behaviour maybe ok, you have to select the alarm and edit it17:45
freemangordonI'd rather open edit dialog, instead17:46
sixwheeledbeastalso in adeclock new alarms are defaulted to the current time not 00:00 this was handy17:46
freemangordonin stock they default to 10:0017:46
freemangordonor not?17:47
freemangordonok, that's easy to be done17:47
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: are you going to open issues for those?17:47
sixwheeledbeastNo idea for stock but I recall asking ade for this.17:47
sixwheeledbeastwill do17:47
freemangordonok, thanks17:47
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: when adding a new alarm, what date it is set to? in old adeclock that is18:00
sixwheeledbeasttomorrow at this time in adeclock18:00
freemangordonok, keeping the same behaviour18:01
sixwheeledbeastI have to flick back a day, so i would say no?18:01
freemangordonok, but we cannot set an alarm today at this time18:02
freemangordonas it already has passed18:02
freemangordonhmm, "as it has passed already"?18:02
sixwheeledbeastI suppose it's personal pref really. Maybe one minute ahead?18:03
freemangordonyep, makes sense18:04
sixwheeledbeastDoes it matter that it has past? you are in the alarm dialog anyway you can't set it?18:04
freemangordonyes, but if I understand your idea correctly, you want to have an alarm to be immediately settable18:05
freemangordonif it is in the past, you can;t set it18:05
freemangordonso 1 minute ahead sounds sane to me18:06
sixwheeledbeastalso spotted something else, adding to github now. in adeclock if you set an alarm in future it puts date instead of Never18:06
sixwheeledbeasti don't think it matters about the 1 minute ahead TBH, what if it takes you a minute to set the alarm, it's invalid anyway?18:07
freemangordonok, will set it to "now"18:08
sixwheeledbeastI am looking from a POV of I park the car and have 1 hour to park, open clock-ui swipe 1 hour as quick a possible, done.18:08

sixwheeledbeastcool, I am wondering about the best way to sort alarms. Was there a reason for using time?18:13
bencoh.6418:13
bencohwoops18:13
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: I think so, as you time is always the most important thing. At least for me :)18:15
freemangordon*as time18:15
sixwheeledbeastOk. I would say time to alarm myself, then maybe alphabetical if alarm name set?18:17
freemangordondo you really set alarm titles?18:18
freemangordontime to alarm? could be, but imagine:18:19
sixwheeledbeastfor some persistent ones yes, "Work" they can sit at the bottom.18:19
freemangordonyou've disabled all your alarms (friday or holiday)18:19
freemangordonnow you want to enable your "get up for work" alarms.18:20
freemangordonme, personally look for the time - it is the left column, and is the shortest one18:20
sixwheeledbeastI see what you mean.18:21
sixwheeledbeastoh..18:21
freemangordonand I *know* when am I supposed to get up :)18:21
sixwheeledbeastissue but NFC how to reproduce...18:21
sixwheeledbeastI am trapped at the Alarm settings dialog and can't get rid18:22
freemangordonwhat did you do?18:22
sixwheeledbeastno idea18:22
freemangordon:D18:22
sixwheeledbeastI think i hit task switcher while loading18:22
sixwheeledbeastdialog18:22
freemangordonBTW I touched "alarm settings" just a little bit, mos of the code is the original adeclock's code18:23
freemangordonthere are still very, very ugly hacks there18:23
sixwheeledbeastIt's ok, I am glad it's getting some love.18:23
sixwheeledbeastSo i can hit task switcher to close dialog but the dialog pops up and cannot be closed if I switch back to clock-ui18:24

*** xes_ has quit IRC18:27
sixwheeledbeastnot now I just killed it before you asked. i will try to reproduce if I can. It was like the alarm settings dialog was not attached to mainwindow any more, if that makes sense.18:27
freemangordonyes, it makes18:27
freemangordonI was just able to open "new alarm" dialog on top of "alarm settings" dialog18:28
sixwheeledbeastoh nice18:28
freemangordonif you click "alarm settings" from the menu and immediately click on "new alarm"18:28
freemangordonI guess it is qt acting here :)18:29
sixwheeledbeastyep I can reproduce that one, it's similar but I can't reproduce it yet. The issue was you couldn't close the dialog with save18:30
freemangordonвеирд18:32

ceenewhich should be the right procedure to install backupmenu+uboot?19:00
ceenei've only managed to brick it :)19:00
Sicelo009N:)19:01
Sicelo009Nstandard way. remember u-boot installs as 'stock' kernel.. so you need to make sure the stock kernel modules are available in your system19:02
*** xelo has quit IRC19:02
Sicelo009Nif you're using .item files, make sure syntax is correct, and run u-boot-update-bootmenu19:02
ceenein which order should i install this?19:03
ceenefirst u-boot, then backupmenu?19:03
ceeneor viceversa?19:03
Sicelo009Ndoesn't really matter19:04
Sicelo009Nuboot first, i'll suggest19:04
ceenei installed first backupmenu, after that i installed u-boot and after rebooting i could only get as far as uboot19:05
ceenei didn't want to type anything at uboot console so i just reflashed :P19:05
* Sicelo009N doesn't know how to operate that too :D19:05
Sicelo009Ni make sure i've got everything fine inside maemo, to avoid dealing with that console19:05
ceenei need to read somewhere about n900's boot process19:07
ceene~boot19:07
infobotit has been said that boot is what you get when you act like a DalNet user, or #debian-boot19:07
ceeneuhm19:07
ceenenot so useful in this context, infobot19:07
*** xes__ is now known as xes19:07
bencoh~bootprocess19:08
Sicelo009Nbasically uboot presents itself to the bootloader as a kernel ... then it starts loading your other specified kernels, etc.19:08
ceeneand backupmenu what is exactly?19:08
ceenejust a shell script?19:08
Sicelo009Nso doesn't really matter too much what the bootloader itself does (and they are closed anyway.. NOLO/XLoader afaik)19:08
Sicelo009Nyes, backupmenu is a script that kernel loads 'thinking' it's loading normal system :)19:10
Sicelo009Nsomething like that, haha19:10
ceeneso on install it probably does something somewhere19:10
ceeneto tell the kernel that init is not /sbin/init but /whatever/backupmenu19:10
Sicelo009Ni don't know. check the postinst maybe19:11
ceeneright now i don't think i want backupmenu anymore19:11
Sicelo009Nreason?19:11
ceenei can always tar / by myself, can't i?19:11
ceenethat's basically what it does19:12
Sicelo009Nof course you can. backupmenu is convenient though .. seen all the features it has?19:12
ceenewell, when it doesn't enter in conflict with a just installed uboot seems cool19:12
ceenewhen it doesn't play well along the others i don't like it that much19:12
Sicelo009Nhmm, something's weird there. i've used bm for years, uboot too. never got issues19:13
ceeneprobably i did something wrong19:14
Sicelo009Neven yesterday i semi_bricked my system with uboot.. but very easy/straightforward recovery.19:14
ceeneor a wrong install order19:14
ceeneor whatever19:14
Sicelo009Nmaybe19:14
ceenebut i just don't want to lose time with that19:14

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 files, or http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=8161322:30
ceenethat's like basic steps22:30

KotCzarnywhy dont you just unfuck it with rescueos etc?22:32
ceenebecause it's also a matter of principle22:32
ceenei want a flashable image22:32
ceenenobody installs debian potato just to boot on rescue mode and upgrade it to stable22:33
KotCzarnyremember that you can try doing own installer/flasher22:33
KotCzarnyespecially if you play with the partitioning22:33
ceenewhat do you mean?22:34
KotCzarnyinstaller kernel+initrd that will initialize/check device, then pull bits of img from the network and flash/write them22:34
KotCzarnyit could even use mke2fs+rsync22:34

DocScrutinizer05ceene: bootmenu and uboot are completely segregate worlds23:46
DocScrutinizer05uBoot is before loading kernel, bootmenu is *after* loading kernel, in userland23:46
*** krnlyng has quit IRC23:48
ceenei see23:48
ceeneso if i screw up my uboot install, backupmenu won't be able to do shit23:48
ceeneby the way, i got my n900 to calibrate its new battery23:49

Sicelo009Nbackupmen != bootmenu :)23:49
Sicelo009N*backupmenu23:50
ceeneDocScrutinizer05: your script didn't manage to keep the backlight on23:51
ceeneso I turned on the flash leds and left them on all the time23:51
ceenealso, since I use bme replacement I had to manually modprobe -r some modules, as stop bme doesn't do that itself23:51
ceenei don't know if that's needed, but I did it anyway23:51
Sicelo009N:)23:51
DocScrutinizer05Sicelo009N: nope, backupmenu actually *is* part of exactly this bootmenu23:51
DocScrutinizer05ceene: damn!23:52
Sicelo009Nah23:52
Sicelo009Ni don't see how you would screw up uboot though ... and in any case, you'd still be able to load your kernel via flasher/0xFFFF23:53
ceeneSicelo009N: i had a custom formatted emmc23:54
ceeneand installing u-boot didn't result in booting23:54
Sicelo009Nor if you need 'serious' recovery, there's RescueOS23:54
DocScrutinizer05yes, screwing uBoot is not that easy23:54
ceenei mean, it's not like it was totally bricked23:54
ceenebut definitely didn't work23:54
ceeneonly after reflashing eMMC too, did it work as intended23:55
ceenei guess i screwed up something that is hardcoded somewhere23:55
ceenenot that it's magic23:55
ceenesome partition number or whatever23:55
Sicelo009Nsounds like bootmenu then23:55
DocScrutinizer05ceene: are you sure you told uboot the correct location of your kernel? also take care about filesystem where uboot is supposed to fetch kernel from, uboot only knows a very limited number of filesystems23:56
ceenei didn't do much, to be honest23:56
ceenejust apt-get installed it23:56
ceenei thought i had everything in place23:56
ceenebut it clearly wasn't23:56
Sicelo009Nit should still have booted attached kernel. you've got 'stock' kernel modules in your system?23:58
ceeneyep23:59
ceenebut it didn't either23:59
ceenealthough that could be23:59
ceenebecause i had thumb23:59
ceeneand as far as i know, stock kernel doesn't run thumb23:59
ceenewell, gotta go now, some family time!23:59
ceenecya!23:59
