sicelowell reflashing didn't help with my 3G issue. oddly, my 2nd N900 which *has* defect modem (intermittent) can use 3G without a problem. Internet is also not too good on 3G, but at least i have reception00:08
sicelono backups restored on either device. (and no thumb/kp, etc.)00:09

APic\splatHi10:19
APic\splatMy N900 works fine when powered up, but when it is off and i plug in the Charger, it reboots endlessly10:19
APic\splatWhat do i need to reflash to keep my System intact?10:20
APic\splat(But actually i made a Backup with Backupmenu, so it would be enough to keep MyDocs…)10:20
xesL29Ah: ?10:23
MaxdamantusAPic\splat: I have a feeling that might be to do with backupmenu itself, though I'm not familiar with it.10:24
MaxdamantusI think I just remember realising at some point that my boot process behaved strangely because of backupmenu.10:25
APic\splatMaxdamantus: But it charged fine for several Months now10:25
KotCzarnyyou have a virus10:25
APic\splatOk10:25
KotCzarny;)10:25
MaxdamantusAPic\splat: well, it doesn't normally stay off indefinitely while charging.10:25
MaxdamantusAPic\splat: it usually boots into an "act dead" mode.10:25
APic\splatProbably i have Bitrot 😉10:25
sicelothen you reflash roofs10:25
APic\splatI know10:25
APic\splatktnx10:25
KotCzarnyor you have installed something and it only showed up recently10:26
APic\splatWhatever10:26
Maxdamantusafaik, it will only charge at 100 mA or something when powered off, so the hardware automatically boots and the software then pretends it's off while it charges at a normal rate.10:26
* APic\splat will go jogging now10:26
APic\splatAnd later try reflashing rootfs10:26
APic\splatIf You Gals/Guys will not come up with a better Hint 😉10:26
APic\splatThanks10:26
* APic\splat &10:26
KotCzarnytry removing bm then10:27
APic\splatWill that Process automagically reflash rootfs?10:28
APic\splatcul8r10:28
MaxdamantusRemoving backupmenu with apt won't reflash.10:29
MaxdamantusThough maybe you've got a different idea of what reflashing is.10:29
sicelobackupmenu doesn't flash anything at all. u-boot does10:29
Maxdamantusu-boot reflashes? O_o10:30
MaxdamantusOh, you mean installing u-boot.10:30
siceloi mean that installing/uninstalling u-boot involves flashing of a kernel10:30
* Maxdamantus really hates that idea.10:31
* Maxdamantus has avoided installing kernels/uboot through apt.10:31
KotCzarnypower kernel without bm/uboot is fine10:31
MaxdamantusThe proper thing to do would be for apt to install something that *then* lets you flash.10:31
Maxdamantuseg, apt-get install flasher uboot && flasher uboot-2017061510:32
MaxdamantusShould be something like that.10:32
KotCzarnyi just hope that uninstalling pk rewrites proper kernel there10:32
MaxdamantusIt might already be, dunno. I've always just flashed them manually over USB.10:32
MaxdamantusI hope that uninstalling a package *DOESN'T* rewrite a kernel.10:32
MaxdamantusIt should only rewrite a kernel if you run a command that indicates you want to rewrite a kernel.10:33
MaxdamantusFlashing shouldn't be performed at the mercy of a package manager.10:33
MaxdamantusHow would it even know what to rewrite back?10:34
MaxdamantusIt's not like the packages are maintained as a stack of operations.10:34
KotCzarnyyup it should depend on some kernel-manager package10:34
sicelowell .. it doesn't flash. it calls flasher/softupd, whatever.10:34
Maxdamantusapt-get install power-kernel && apt-get install uboot && apt-get remove uboot10:34
KotCzarnyand all packages that want to write in the bootloader are should depend on it10:35
KotCzarnybut someone would have to write such app10:35
siceloapt doesn't flash itself10:35
Maxdamantusand the user should actually invoke the app, not the package manager.10:35
MaxdamantusThe package manager should only install it, not flash.10:35
siceloit does ask for confirmation ..10:35
Maxdamantustbh, I really hate the way Debian handles this sort of stuff just on a normal system.10:36
MaxdamantusI have to keep backups of my grub configuration because occasionally when running `apt-get upgrade` it will just rewrite over my manually written one.10:37
Maxdamantusand afaict, there's no clean way to disable that automatic updating behaviour.10:37
sicelopackage manager does not flash at all. you cn install a kernel and not allow the flasher process to go through (n900)10:37
MaxdamantusGood.10:38
MaxdamantusI wish upgrading grub on a normal debian system behaved like that.10:38

*** xy2_ has joined #maemo11:35
APic\splatIt is still charging11:37
APic\splat(Or at least it pretends that 😉)11:37
APic\splatSo first Thing i will try, deinstall BackupMenu11:38
APic\splatIf that does not help, reflash root…11:38
KotCzarnyand maybe reinstall power kernel?11:38
sicelobackupmenu is definitely going to not have any effect.11:41
*** xorly has joined #maemo11:41
APic\splatOk11:43
APic\splatThen just reinstall Kernel-Power11:43
* APic\splat hopes is has gotten no Hardware-Defect in the Charging-Circuit?11:43
APic\splatIt is powered on now, and on Computer-USB11:44
APic\splatWill it charge faster on direct Power-Outlet?11:44
siceloyes. wall charger alwys best11:45
APic\splatGood11:45
*** Kabouik_ has joined #maemo11:45
APic\splatAh11:47
APic\splatNow the Light is green11:47
APic\splatCharged 🙌11:47
* APic\splat goes to Shower and will then try reinstall Kernel-Power11:47
APic\splatActually i do not need Kernel-Power anymoar at all currently11:47
APic\splatBecause i got a Nexus-5X to tether11:47
*** xy2_ has quit IRC11:48
MaxdamantusI doubt it has to do with kernel-power11:48
APic\splat11:49
Maxdamantussicelo: why would it have no effect? afair it has an effect on the boot process.11:49
APic\splatProbably need to reflash rootfs at Minimum, yah11:49
* Maxdamantus can't remember exactly what it did.11:49
KotCzarnysince you are going to reflash anyway, you can try anything11:49
MaxdamantusI remember for me it had some undesirable behaviour WRT whether the slide was in or out. I had never actually used it for anything.11:53
MaxdamantusSeems like the sort of thing that would mess up the "act dead" mechanism.11:53
*** xy2_ has joined #maemo11:55
MaxdamantusYeah, looking at preinit, the "act dead" mechanism involves running init with a different runlevel.11:56
*** N-Mi has joined #maemo11:57
*** N-Mi has joined #maemo11:57
Maxdamantusso if you've got something that happens before init, which aiui is what backupmenu does, that could interfere.11:57
MaxdamantusACT_DEAD) def_runlevel=511:57
Maxdamantusactually, it's bootmenu that's the thing that runs on boot, not backupmenu.12:01
Maxdamantuswhich I think is meant to kind of go together with backupmenu.12:02
APic\splatKotCzarny: True12:06
Maxdamantusimo try uninstalling bootmenu, or just moving /bootmenu.sh to have a different name.12:07
KotCzarnyalso, kp reinstall might overwrite uboot anyway12:07
Maxdamantusmv /bootmenu.sh /notbootmenu.sh12:07
MaxdamantusThen preinit won't be able to find it.12:07
APic\splatMaxdamantus: Okay, i will try that first12:08
MaxdamantusHmm .. although it looks like preinit will only execute bootmenu.sh if the slide is open. Do you know if you have the issue if the slide is closed?12:10
APic\splatI think i have the Loop with both Slide open and closed12:11
APic\splatPowered it down now and attached Charger12:11
*** Sigyn has quit IRC12:12
APic\splatIt is still looping.  ☹12:13
*** Sigyn has joined #maemo12:13
APic\splatAnd i still get an U-Boot-Boot-Menu with Slide open12:13
APic\splatU-Boot is something else than bootmenu.sh, eh?12:13
MaxdamantusYes.12:13
APic\splatYup, bootmenu is the BackupMenu12:14
APic\splatThis one does not show now12:14
APic\splatSo what to try next? Uninstall Kernel-Power?12:14
MaxdamantusDo you have fbcon loaded when booting?12:14
APic\splatUh12:14
APic\splatLooks like it12:14
* APic\splat sees the Penguin-Logo12:14
* APic\splat will move bootmenu.sh back12:15
MaxdamantusDo you see text scrolling down while booting?12:15
KotCzarnypenguin? what penguin? o.O12:15
APic\splatMaxdamantus: Yes12:15
APic\splatKotCzarny: The Linux-Penguin, Dude!@12:15
APic\splat-@12:15
bencohtux!12:15
APic\splatYup12:15
APic\splatBut when booting into Charge-Mode, the Display is not lit12:15
KotCzarnyi see no penguins on my n900, you must be hallucinating :P12:15
MaxdamantusFrom the kernel, not from u-boot.12:16
APic\splatSo i only see a very faint Penguin then12:16
APic\splatAnd cannot make out the Kernel-Messages12:16
Maxdamantusu-boot seems to show Tux. I don't think kernel-power does.12:16
KotCzarnyuse flashlight12:16
APic\splatk12:16
KotCzarnyit should be enough to make it readable12:16
* APic\splat will try to remove Kernel-Power now12:17
APic\splatIf it will still loop, i will try to decipher the Messages 😎12:17
MaxdamantusI suspect you don't have fbcon enabled and the text will just be from u-boot.12:17
Maxdamantus(and the penguin)12:17
APic\splatProbably12:17
MaxdamantusTo enable fbcon you can add it to the `FS_MODULES` string in preinit12:17
APic\splatWill i see Messages instead of the ···· then?12:18
APic\splatMaxdamantus: Where is „preinit“12:21
APic\splatNow with „kernel-power“ uninstalled it looks like it is charging without looping again when off 🙌12:22
*** Maxdamantus has quit IRC12:22
*** Maxdamantus has joined #maemo12:25
MaxdamantusEh, damn Intel wifi driver.12:25
* Maxdamantus forgot to stop running hostapd on startup.12:26
MaxdamantusApparently just having my alternative N900 connect to the access point kills my system.12:27

APic\splatLong Time no Flash13:53
APic\splatSo „flash-it-all.sh“ will flash much moar than the rootfs, right?13:53
* APic\splat will check http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware13:53

APic\splatOr were my Settings not flashed over?14:02
APic\splatAnd Apps, Contacts and whatever…14:02
APic\splatOk, booted 🙌14:06
APic\splatSeems like i need BackupMenu to restore my Stuffs now14:11
APic\splatMh14:13
APic\splat„sudo gainroot“ says i need to activate R&D14:14
APic\splatBut if i leech „rootsh“ i do not need to, right?14:14
KotCzarnyyup14:14
* APic\splat will just install BackupMenu now14:14
APic\splatThen my rootsh and other Apps should appear again after Restore ☺14:15
APic\splatArgh14:15
