sixwheeledbeast^Would it be https thing I experienced? Let me try13:12
*** luke-jr has joined #maemo13:13
sixwheeledbeast^Yep hangs on TLS handshake with HTTPS Everywhere. Resolves with it off.13:13
xessixwheeledbeast^: "https everywhere"? maybe13:14
sixwheeledbeast^Is that your issue?13:14
WizzupI use https-everywhere, yeah13:14
sixwheeledbeast^disable it for *.maemo.org13:14
Wizzup...13:14
Wizzupwhy does https not work?13:15
sixwheeledbeast^I reported it a while back, xes had a look. I don't think it was easily fixable?13:16
Wizzupgoing to https://maemo.org works, but http://maemo.org does not, with https-everywhere.13:19
warfareCurrently we have a startcom wildcard certificate for HTTPS. We need to invest a bit of time to migrate to let's encrypt. But still, such things as http on port 81 can't be changed easily because they are hardcoded in this midgard stuff.13:19
xes..easily... i'm slowly forgetting the meaning of that word13:19
warfare:]13:20
sixwheeledbeast^Dunno if this is helpful either? https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere/atlas/domains/maemo.org.html13:22
xes_maybe_.... the pages using static.m.o only to pick maemo theme could be changed to use a copy of those file inside the same web server. The other redirects are a mess..13:22

quirinpahey17:10
quirinpai installed rescueOS on my n90017:10
quirinpaand now a kernel panic happens17:10
quirinpaand i can't flash it17:10
quirinpanot with either 0xffff or flasher17:10
quirinpai've googled endlessly i cant do anything17:11
quirinpathe kernel panic says that the boot option is invalid i remember that i could use 0xffff to boot but now i cannot17:12
quirinpacan anyone help me please?17:12
quirinpais it possible to pass an option to rescueOS without a usb flashing software?17:13
quirinpaa boot option*17:13
quirinpaunfortunately i dont know the hw revision of the phone17:14
bencohwhat you do get when trying to run nokia flasher?17:15
siceloyou don't actually install rescuOS17:15
quirinpawaiting for device17:15
quirinpawell i did17:15
quirinpai think17:15
siceloit's not intended for install ..17:16
quirinpaok im such a noob17:16
quirinpadid i brick it?17:16
quirinpathe message i get is please append a correct boot= boot option17:17
quirinpawell17:17
quirinpaif it is not meant for install then why does it have an app to charge the battery when it is installed?17:17
quirinpaa script i should say17:18
sicelonot bricked. it can charge battery because you need that functionality while hopefully repairing your n900 :-)17:18
quirinpak good to hear :)17:19
quirinpawell what can i do? i cant use 0xffff or flasher17:19
quirinpato set a boot option17:19
quirinpai remember in the past that it worked sometimes17:20
siceloread the documentation properly ... and have the correct files17:20
quirinpai do17:20
quirinpai have flashed it before17:20
quirinpai wish i knew the revision17:20
sicelowhat is the real problem by the way (that made you want/need rescueOS)17:21
quirinpai wanted to try out lower level os's etc17:21
quirinpanow i just want maemo17:21
sicelorevision hardly matters (most of the time) -or what do you need it for17:21
*** mickname_ has joined #maemo17:21
quirinpacold flashing17:21
quirinpai guess17:21
bencohwhy do you actually need the revision?17:21
quirinpaif i need it17:21
*** mickname_ has quit IRC17:22
quirinpaim not sure tho17:22
quirinpato be honest17:22
*** mickname_ has joined #maemo17:22
sicelodo not cold flash17:22
quirinpai wanted to try the netbsd port17:22
quirinpai think17:22
quirinpabut it was way back because my battery died17:22
quirinpanow i have my friends phone17:22
sicelodoes you n900 still boot maemo properly after all you've done?17:23
*** mickname is now known as mickname217:23
bencohquirinpa: to test alternative OSes / boot images, you should probably 1. boot kernel/initrd from flasher/0xffff without flashing17:23
quirinpano17:23
quirinpait boots rescueOs17:23
bencohor install uboot and boot alternative OS from sd17:23
quirinpawell it doesnt17:23
quirinpayeah17:23
quirinpai thought about it but17:23
quirinpahow do i boot from sd if boot=null17:23
quirinpa?17:23
*** mickname2 has quit IRC17:24
bencohwhat is this boot=null thing?17:24
*** mickname_ is now known as mickname17:24
quirinpaboot option17:24
quirinpai have a kernel panic17:24
quirinpaand it complains about that17:24
quirinpaill try to be more specific17:25
siceloshow us your commandline, your flasher commands, and where the kernel came from17:25
quirinpai dont remember where the kernel came from17:25
quirinpai dont usually use flasher because i'm on openbsd17:26
quirinpabut 0xffff has been working for me in the past17:26
quirinpathe messages i get thou are the following17:26
sicelothat's still fine .. show us the commands you put in .. pastebin maybe17:26
quirinpaVFS: Cannot open root device "(null)" or unknown-block(0,0)17:26
quirinpaok17:27
sicelowhere is the root of the system you're trying to load?17:27
quirinpawhat do you mean? i want to boot from internal memory (where rescuefs is installed)17:28
quirinpathis is the command i've used in the past to flash the Fiasco image (and it worked)17:28
quirinpa0xFFFF -M RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -F17:28
quirinpathe kernel panic also shows:17:29
siceloso what command did you type now when installing the rescuefs17:29
bencohthis is the combined image17:29
quirinpaPlease append a correct "root=" boot option: here are the available partitions17:29
quirinpayeah17:29
quirinpai dont remember honestly17:29
quirinpai wish i could just append a boot option17:30
siceloalthough i doubt flasher would flash a bad image ..17:30
quirinpawell17:30
quirinpai've tried many17:30
quirinpaand it doesnt even detect the phone17:31
siceloi think you borked your n90017:31
quirinpabut the connector is working17:31
sicelosimplest is reflash your maemo rootfs and start fresh17:31
quirinpayeah possibly17:31
quirinpabut how?17:31
sicelothe command you gave just above17:31
quirinpadoesnt work17:32
quirinpawaiting for device ...17:32
quirinpaforever17:32
sicelotry using the U key when plugin n900 in17:32
quirinpathe same happens with flasher17:32
quirinpai did17:32
sicelotry different usb port on pc17:32
quirinpaalso did it but ill try another one17:33
quirinpathx guys17:33
quirinpa1 sec17:33
sicelojust check the flashing page on wiki17:33
sicelo~flashing17:33
infobotwell, maemo-flashing is http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware, or - on linux PC - download&extract http://maemo.cloud-7.de/maemo5/patches_n_tools/maemo-my-private-workdir.tgz, cd into it, do sudo ./flash-it-all.sh; or see ~flashing-cmdline, or see ~lazyflashing17:33
quirinpasame thing happens17:35
quirinpak ty17:35
quirinpabtw17:35
quirinpathe phone doesnt even show on dmesg17:35
siceloread the wiki page :-) maybe your bsd also has the module mentioned there that you need to unload17:36
quirinpai've used the exact same to flash it before, besides the same thing happens with windows17:36
quirinpabut i know the usb is working because it changes behavior17:37
quirinpaa green light appears when the battery is not on17:37
quirinpasometimes orange17:37
quirinpayour script looks awesome but unfortunately there is no version of flasher that runs on bsd17:40
quirinpai mean openbsd at least17:40
quirinpathat i know of17:40
quirinpai can change it thou17:41
quirinpanon hub usb hum?17:42

quirinpaguys is there a bios on n900?18:42
bencohyou have TI bootloader then NOLO (nokia bootloader)18:43
bencohthen uboot and/or kernel18:43
bencohno "bios" afaict18:43
quirinpahm ok18:43
bencoh(not strictly speaking)18:43
quirinpaso if i got a kernel panic i go as far as the kernel right?18:43
bencohif it is really a kernel panic, then yes18:43
quirinpaso np with the ti bootloader and nolo i ghuess18:43
quirinpaok18:43
quirinpait is18:43
quirinpait says so at least18:44
quirinpabut what boots the phone into update mode?18:44
quirinpait's before the kernel right?18:44
quirinpais it nolo?18:44
bencohinto flash mode you mean? that'd be NOLO18:44
quirinpak18:44
bencohiirc18:45
quirinpathen it should do that.. i dont get it18:46
quirinpai tried 3 cables18:47
quirinpai dont have the original18:47
quirinpaaren't there any other keyboard hooks besides "u"?18:48
quirinpamaybe i disabled r&d mode idk18:48
bencohI don't think you need r&d mode to reflash (?)18:49
quirinpaprobably i dunno :P18:49
quirinpaweird18:50
quirinpaim not the only one with this problem tho18:58

quirinpai've heard about a serial port19:25
quirinpain the n900 board19:25
quirinpadoes it exist?19:25
quirinpais there a way to interface with the n900 storage without having it turn on, necessarily?19:27
quirinpainternal* storage19:27
*** louis_ has joined #maemo19:34
bencohit does exist19:38
bencohnot sure you want to fiddle with it on your main device though19:38
quirinpahm well i seem to be out of options anyways19:44
quirinpawhat is it?19:44
quirinpai've got a bit of unix experience19:44
quirinpaeventually i might be able to get it working19:45
quirinpaa serial port?19:45
quirinpaits not my "main" device... because i bricked it lel19:45
quirinpahopefully just kinda bricked it19:47
quirinpawhat did you mean when you said it does exist bencoh?19:48
*** quirinpa has quit IRC19:50
*** quirinpa has joined #maemo19:50
quirinpaseriously i did exactly the steps listed in "updating the firmware". and it did work before. I checked out some of the bash in /etc and i really wanted to optimize. have it only boot what i want19:52
quirinpaif there is an alternate way of putting the phone in update mode (which i believe there should be)19:53
quirinpaplease tell me.19:53
quirinpai dunno19:53
quirinpai'm freaking out sorry19:53
quirinpait just seems a little bugged19:53
quirinpai got this phone off ebay because i believe it's one of the most "open" phones there is19:54
quirinpai think that progress lies not in corporate agendas19:54
quirinpaso i really wanted it. One doesn't learn much when all his software does unknown things.19:55
quirinpabut damn19:55
quirinpathis randomness is pretty god damn unknown19:56
bencohquirinpa: I think you should try and camly read the wiki pages about flashing19:56
quirinpai really, really did.19:56
bencohre-read*19:56
quirinpadude19:56
quirinpai did19:56
bencohbattery isn't flat I guess19:56
quirinpano it isnt19:56
bencohlsusb doesn't say anything when phone is plugged with keyboard opened and u pressed?19:57
quirinpanope19:57
quirinpanothing19:57
quirinpabut19:57
quirinpathe phone turns on when i plug in the usb19:57
quirinpaso its not as if there's a problem with the connector19:58
bencohokay, that's good at least19:58
quirinpayah19:58
bencohusb works with rescueOS?19:58
bencoh(does rescueOS still boot?)19:58
quirinpano because the boot option of the kernel is wrong19:58
quirinpabut before it was sometimes detected bu the pc19:58
*** xorly has quit IRC19:58
quirinpaand i could reboot the phone with the correct boot option19:59
quirinpaunfortunately, not anymore19:59
bencoh"detected"?19:59
bencohby flaher?19:59
quirinpawell19:59
quirinpaby 0xffff20:00
quirinpabut i would assume flasher too20:00
quirinpaby my os20:00
quirinpait worked properly but not all the time20:00
quirinpamaybe it is corrupt?20:01
bencohI'd try flasher on linux to be honest20:01
quirinpabut lsusb doesn't even detect the phone20:01
quirinpait doesn't even boot to update mode20:01
quirinpa :(20:01
quirinpaanyway20:01
bencohthat's odd yeah and I hope you really dont have a connector issue20:02
quirinpathanks for your patience, it's not your responsibility20:02
quirinpame too20:02
quirinpathanks dude. u've been awesome20:02
bencohthis phone *really* is great and not that easy to brick btw20:02
quirinpai've heard..20:02
bencohso it's worth trying or rebuying it if anything else fails btw20:02
quirinpai think so too..20:03
quirinpawe'll see..20:03
quirinpai'll try again later20:03
quirinpathanks for trying to help20:03
quirinpacheers! i'm still hopeful :)20:03

DocScrutinizer05lsusb diesn't do shit when device doesn't boot up. What you want is a mere clean reflashing, starting the flasher so it listens to USB, then plug in the *POWERED OFF* N900 to USB. The instructions in ~lazyflashing are even more foolproof in that they recommend inserting battery only after starting flasher and plugging in the phone21:56
DocScrutinizer05nfc how quirinpa managed to *flash* rescueOS, but a plain full reflash should recover the device no doubt21:57
DocScrutinizer05DO NOT COLDFLASH!!!21:57

DocScrutinizer05when that dev isn't capable to rewrite flash-it-all.sh (the script doing lazyflashing) to use 0xFFFF instead of maemo flasher, then they for sure should stay away from "low level OS experiments"22:01
*** Vajb has joined #maemo22:01

DocScrutinizer05particularly since N900 on a low level works quite different to your usual PC. It's embedded, it's ARM, it has no BIOS, no Grub(2) and no way to boot from external medium, neither to dd any raw images to any storage partitions22:04
*** qwazix has quit IRC22:12
