| DocScrutinizer05 | it will make your system segfault | 10:21 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | the point is about system segfaulting with stock kernel and thumb binaries | 10:22 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | uBoot or flashing --flash-only=kernel both install stock jernel | 10:23 |
| Maxdamantus | Well, u-boot probably won't make your system segfault, because u-boot probably doesn't use virtual memory and "segmentation fault" is a term for when a higher-level OS decides that a page access is invalid. | 10:24 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | the benefit from a thumb system is arguable, I think for a lot of users the complications weigh more than the increased free RAM | 10:24 |
| * Maxdamantus ultimately wants to use a normal Linux distribution, which probably means using something like Debian's "armel" port. | 10:26 | |
| Maxdamantus | Since armhf relies on a non-bugged implementation of Thumb-2. | 10:27 |
| *** sunshavi has quit IRC | 10:28 | |
| CatButts | so it's gonna be a pain in the butt if I get power kernel, uboot and thumb cssu? | 10:29 |
| Maxdamantus | I think u-boot should be pretty much irrelevant. | 10:29 |
| Maxdamantus | aiui, the only time you'd think about Thumb issues with u-boot is when actually compiling u-boot. | 10:30 |
| Maxdamantus | Since if you decide to tell your compiler to use thumb instructions when building u-boot, it won't run correctly on the N900. | 10:30 |
| CatButts | I decide not to compile and use precompiled binaries :P | 10:31 |
| Maxdamantus | If you have a correctly running u-boot (which is what you'd get if you acquire it from the maemo repository or compile it yourself using the default configuration for rx-51, it shouldn't affect the stability of the kernel you boot from it) | 10:31 |
| Maxdamantus | misplaced closing bracket there, but meh. | 10:32 |
| *** xorly has joined #maemo | 10:32 | |
| CatButts | missplaced null terminator :P | 10:32 |
| sixwheeledbeast | power kernel has the workaround just like cssu-kernel (thumb) | 10:36 |
| CatButts | yes | 10:40 |
| CatButts | so, what complications can I expect, besides that of running thumb code with non-thumb kernel? | 10:41 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | none | 10:44 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | just booting into uBoot default jernel or reflashing kernel will make your system segafault and prolly you will have to do a full rootfs aka COMBINED reflash to recover | 10:45 |
| Maxdamantus | Why not just do a reflash of the kernel to be one supporting the thumb workaround? | 10:46 |
| Maxdamantus | (or a u-boot image with such a kernel appended) | 10:47 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | most likely you also can't run binaries from your system when you booted up to rescueOS - again stock kernel with thumb binaries | 10:47 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | restoring a BM backup after a reflassh will reder your system bootlooping, you need to install either powerkernal or uBoot manually before you restore | 10:49 |
| * DocScrutinizer05 idly wonders if somebody (robbiethe1st?) could pimp BM to backup and restore kernels too | 10:50 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | heck, that would be a nice workpackage for bored developers lacking ideas what to do | 10:51 |
| * Maxdamantus has always disliked the idea of software responsible for maintaining the main OS filesystem messing around with kernels and partition layout. | 10:53 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | CatButts: | 10:54 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | ~uboot | 10:54 |
| infobot | N900 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=81613 | 10:54 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | CatButts: to put it utterly clearly: unstalling uBoot replaces any kernel you may have installed by uBoot+stock-kernel. Install uBoot on a thumb system and repoot:-> doomed, since bootloop | 10:57 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | s/unst/inst/ | 10:57 |
| infobot | DocScrutinizer05 meant: CatButts: to put it utterly clearly: installing uBoot replaces any kernel you may have installed by uBoot+stock-kernel. Install uBoot on a thumb system and repoot:-> doomed, since bootloop | 10:57 |
| CatButts | s/boot/poot | 10:58 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | you need to install uBoot and uboot-powerkernel-image "atomically", I.E without any boot in between | 10:58 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | if you mess up for whatever reason (battery empty, system locks up, whatever), you're lost and have to do a full reflash | 10:59 |
| Maxdamantus | Why not just do a reflash of the right u-boot image/kernel? | 11:01 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | you most likely also want to tweak uBoot so it boots to powerkernel by default | 11:02 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | and you never may touch the uBoot powerkernel image after that and break it in any way, since otherwise, you guessed it: bootloop and pending full reflash | 11:03 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | well you could try fixing stuff via rescueOS | 11:03 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | thumb works just great... as long as all works. When you need any recovery mode or want to mess with your system, you're usually pretty much on your own and nothing works like described in wiki etc | 11:05 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | that being said, I didn't need any recovery or felt like messing with my system in a few years now. So I as well could have installed powerkernel and thumb years ago and probably hardly would recall the fact | 11:07 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | you *might* want to keep a disk image of complete rootfs (and /opt) on your eMMC or uSD and learn how to flash NAND and eMMC ext3 partition from within uBoot menu | 11:11 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | when however uBoot itself gets upset, you're lost | 11:12 |
| * DocScrutinizer05 pnders to try formatting initrd NAND partition as a 'floppy' | 11:14 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | dirty hack, ignoring bad blocks and whatnot | 11:14 |
| * Maxdamantus has restored (to additional devices) by just booting into rescueOS, exporting the entire eMMC using g_file_storage then partitioning/copying stuff just using his computer. | 11:14 | |
| Maxdamantus | and flashing using flasher. | 11:14 |
| Maxdamantus | (flashing the kernel) | 11:14 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | but a rather safe place for the few additional tiny ascii files uBoot needs | 11:14 |
| Maxdamantus | and probably just tar over g_ether for ubifs. | 11:16 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | for ubifs the initrd partition is too smal :-S | 11:16 |
| * Maxdamantus has a separate partition on eMMC for kernels, could put initrds in there if he wanted them. | 11:18 | |
| * DocScrutinizer05 also wonders how hard it could be to create a FIASCO image with powerkernel, and another one with fully configured uBoot + PK image + default boot to PK | 11:22 | |

This is a planned feature, but not in the current version. It -is- possible to convert a BackupMenu image to a Nokia Flasher rootfs image, but it requires a Linux PC with mtd-utils<< Hmm does it really? | 11:33 |
| Maxdamantus | Well, the flasher image normally has an actual ubifs image in it. | 11:34 |
| Maxdamantus | $ epm -qf `which mkfs.ubifs` | 11:36 |
| Maxdamantus | mtd-utils-1.5.0 | 11:36 |
| Maxdamantus | Presumably if you can get mkfs.ubifs to compile/run on Windows, you could do it there. | 11:37 |

| Maxdamantus | Yes. | 11:43 |

| KotCzarny | maemo is quite well thought out ui | 20:09 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | CatButts: for maemo extras there's a ruls of conduct or whateveryoucallit you have to "sign" for each project you upload | 20:13 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | and we will immediately remove any package that violates those GPL rules | 20:14 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | community has no QA that checks each project in depth. Actually that's the big problem with extras-devel -> *-testing -> extras right now | 20:15 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | so we can only remove packages we realize are conflicting with the GPL | 20:16 |
| CatButts | does GPL imply open source only? | 20:16 |
| KotCzarny | yes | 20:17 |

| __axon__ | DocScrutinizer05:Sometimes it might be helful to have side by side windows. | 20:53 |
| __axon__ | an other question: do you have any recommendations for n900 cases that protect the screen - and might be better than the sock that I am currently using ? | 20:54 |
| *** xy2_ has quit IRC | 20:56 | |
| ShadowJK | kuzzmi, I've had N800, N810 and N900. The N810 has "more keys", and for that it's sometimes better for ssh. However, the N900 keys have greater depth to them, which for me made the N900 much quicker to type on. | 20:56 |
| ShadowJK | Any of then would probably be excellent for ssh use | 20:57 |

| *** xy2_ has joined #maemo | 21:14 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | no split screens under hildon | 22:11 |

| DocScrutinizer05 | for "cases", I use a "landscape" holster | 22:12 |

| CatButts | hey, I am lending my phone to SCIENCE, not brutal murder | 22:16 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | you're doing wut? | 22:16 |
| CatButts | might as well throw whole unit in lava | 22:16 |
| KotCzarny | or.. just use it as it is and stop worrying? | 22:17 |
| CatButts | I am replacing digitizer and was pondering trying home remedies on the ill digitizer before replacing | 22:17 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | try a PET water bottle for your experiments! that one is not only much cheaper, it also doesn't contain nasty silicon oil | 22:17 |
| KotCzarny | i havent noticed scratched screen to be a big issue (on one of my spares) | 22:17 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | acetone my ass | 22:19 |
| * DocScrutinizer05 already figures domesheet melt away and keymat varnish getting sticky | 22:19 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | I tried with polishing paste, dodn't work put well either | 22:22 |
| Maxdamantus | Regarding N900 keys, the keyboard layout I use has all printable ASCII characters mapped. | 22:22 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | honestly if you want to try anything, try carnauba car wax | 22:22 |
| Maxdamantus | there's only one character that requires two modifiers. | 22:23 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | carefully, and immediately remove excess completely before it dries | 22:23 |
| Maxdamantus | I'd've liked to use the second key under the space bar for that instead, but the driver in Linux only emits a single code for both physical buttons. | 22:23 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | so only the scratch holds a trace of wax in it | 22:24 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | but honestly as long as the scratch isn't causing leakage of the oil, I think any cure is worse than the original issue | 22:25 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | and I've not seen any severe scratcjhes in any of my devices so far | 22:26 |
| CatButts | mine's scratchy and blurry with a single large gauge that has not yet pierced through | 22:27 |
| CatButts | the blurry bit is kinda irritating | 22:27 |
| CatButts | *gouge | 22:27 |
| KotCzarny | keep in mind if you overdo and pierce the touchscreen layer it can stop working | 22:27 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | it WILL stop working. Plus leak nasty silicon oil that may make the screen look blurry | 22:29 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | or somebody already tried polishing the thing which also causes dull blurry spots, I know since I did that | 22:30 |

| Vajb | hmm how about lack? | 22:38 |
| Vajb | they refurbish car paint scratches with it at least | 22:39 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | well yeah, you *might* try UV-curing special transparent cyanoacrylate for fixing broken glass | 22:42 |
| KotCzarny | or just browse local classifieds ads and buy nice used screen n900 with broken usb/lcd for 5-10eur | 22:43 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | might be even better than carnauba, But I'd practice a 100 times on PET bottles before I'd dare doing that on a expensive device | 22:43 |

| Vajb | also i've seen some protective films for screens, that claim to contain some special silicone stuff which absorbs to scratches and makes them disappear | 22:47 |
| CatButts | absorb dicks | 22:52 |
| CatButts | and make them dissapear! | 22:52 |
| CatButts | worst scenario | 22:53 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | Vajb: yes, that's the same principle, fill scratches with a transparent fluid | 22:53 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | it doesn'r "absorb scratches and make them disappear", it just makes them invisible | 22:54 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | to really make scratches disappear in plastic, you need to recreate the surface with exactly same process used in manufacturing of the plastic film. Usually melting and sort of roll out | 22:57 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | obviously can't get done when you don't have access to both sides of plain film | 22:57 |
| CatButts | obviously can't be done when you have shit already assembled | 22:58 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | it *might* be possible for a limited number of plastic material films to locally heat only the surface. You need *very* controlled process parameters for that | 22:58 |
| * CatButts gets his waffle grill | 22:59 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | probably you'd need *very very* hot air for very short period | 22:59 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | maybe laser of useful wavelength and power could do too | 23:00 |
| KotCzarny | or just stop worrying about them, really, work one day, buy good n900, problem solved | 23:00 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | yes, obviously | 23:00 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | :-) | 23:00 |

| CatButts | all this started because I wanted to try other people's silly stuff on a spent digitizer | 23:01 |
| KotCzarny | time is money | 23:01 |
| CatButts | tell that to the guy that spent 6 months porting C to AS3 | 23:01 |
| KotCzarny | money is plentiful and goes all ways, your time not | 23:01 |
| CatButts | and learned both in proccesss | 23:01 |
| CatButts | yeah, point taken regarding the latter | 23:02 |
| CatButts | but hey, time-wasting binges | 23:02 |
| CatButts | as is above porting endeavour | 23:03 |
| KotCzarny | i have my n900 since 2009, not a single scratch on screen | 23:03 |
| CatButts | I bought mine 2nd hand, I don't know where it got shoved | 23:03 |
| KotCzarny | doing on the original battery too | 23:03 |
| pkill9 | did you ever have any usb port problems KotCzarny? | 23:29 |
| KotCzarny | nope | 23:29 |
| *** florian_kc has joined #maemo | 23:29 | |
| KotCzarny | using the same original cable/charger | 23:29 |
| *** florian has quit IRC | 23:30 | |
| KotCzarny | always doing connect/disconnect in straight line without bending | 23:30 |
| KotCzarny | wort case is upward/downward bending | 23:31 |
| KotCzarny | *worst | 23:31 |
