CatButtshey guise, I'm bored, what fun thing should I do to justify my N900's existence?12:43
CatButtshttp://cat.butt.care:3434/priv/watercolour_failbutts.PNG I tried drawing, but that didn't work out too well12:44

CatButtsexpensive tossing brick :P12:45
bencohCatButts: some TMO user was pretty skilled with drawing on n90012:45
CatButtsyes, the myPaint thread12:46
CatButtsI am just a drawling at the moment12:46
CatButtsalso, I never got along with myPaint12:46
CatButtsso I have this butchered-up Shi-Painter12:46
bencohhmm, I was referring to the "look what I draw" thread12:47
CatButtsyes12:47
CatButtsthat one12:47
CatButtsI am going back in time in it12:47
CatButtsoh, that reminds me12:47
CatButtsis PenPen opensource?12:47
CatButtsit's an infinite canvas vector draw tool meant to replace N900's sketching app12:48
CatButtsit's cludgy, but I feel that with a few adjustmentations, it will become competent application12:49
CatButtsThere's also sheepdraw12:51
CatButtsbut it has sever offset problems for stylus input12:51
CatButtsI wonder if thread uploader still works12:52
CatButtsI'd like to necro the sheepdraw thread12:52
CatButtsfrom within the app12:52

KotCzarnyfather data?12:54
vahedon't want to lose photo video )12:54
KotCzarnyyou mean 'without losing user data' ?12:54
vaheaha yes12:54
KotCzarnyi think you flash vanill without emmc12:55
vaheI'm a little broke OS :D12:55
KotCzarnybut best is to just copy your data onto sdcard12:55
KotCzarnyor computer (via usb)12:55
vaheyeah, it's just not included the phone12:56
CatButtshttp://cat.butt.care:3434/priv/legwarmercat.PNG yeah, I don't think I am going to be posting in the 'look what I draw' thread anytime soon :P12:56
vaheKotCzarny: where you can now download OS?12:57
KotCzarny~flashing12:58
infobotit has been said that 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 ~lazyflashing12:58
vahethanks12:59
vahe ~lazyflashing12:59
infobotmethinks lazyflashing is http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware#The_Lazy_Approach12:59
vaheKotCzarny: that is, to install only vanilla?13:01
KotCzarnyas i've said, backup data to sdcard or computer to be sure13:01
KotCzarny(and it's always good to have a backup)13:02
*** Vajb has quit IRC13:02
vaheKotCzarny: and then I told you but if the phone is not included?:)13:03
vaheonly RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin yes?13:04

KotCzarnybecause i didnt understand it13:04
vahedoes not turn on13:05
vahesorry )13:05
KotCzarnymaybe it's just flat battery?13:05
vaheno, I inadvertently ruined a reset kernel13:06

KotCzarnymaybe then: http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware#Flashing_only_the_kernel_from_a_FIASCO_image_.28expert_topic.21.29 ?13:08
KotCzarnybut that wont work if you had power kernel or cssu13:09
vahecool idea13:09
vahenow I'll try13:15

vahelook at all interesting )15:43
* CatButts rubs his eyes15:43
KotCzarnyno, you think about everything on maemo.org15:43
KotCzarnytalk.maemo.org, wiki.maemo.org15:43
vaherescueOS what is this OS?15:57
sixwheeledbeast~rescueOS15:59
infobotrescueos is probably http://n900.quitesimple.org/rescueOS/15:59
sixwheeledbeastMaybe this is more informative https://github.com/quitesimpleorg/N900_RescueOS/blob/master/documentation.txt16:00
vaheno(16:02
vahesixwheeledbeast: thanks) rescue solution? anyone have a screenshot of the video ?16:03
vaheI have 2 N900-one want to do a clean LinuxOSis it possible? without chroot, direct connection , that's why they are interested in rescueOS16:08
KotCzarnyyes, but you will have problems with gsm(voice) part16:09
sixwheeledbeast"clean LinuxOS"?16:09
KotCzarnyswb: i suspect he wants some generic distro without maemo16:09
vahesixwheeledbeast: for example debian os16:12
vahegentoo os16:12
vaheI'm a fan of Maemo, but I have 2 and I want to do with Linux16:13
vaheI'm also a fan of gentoo16:13
sixwheeledbeastclosed blobs on the device make it difficult to have full functionality16:14
vahehttp://maemo.cloud-7.de/NIN101_N900_rescue_os/nin101.uni.cx/n900-new/206.253.166.96/N900/debian/setup.txt16:14
vahesixwheeledbeast: well, at least some , for example I need only wifi and OS16:15
vaheit is clear that completely impossible, but I need to surprise friends :D so I will limit myself to at least half of the functionality16:15
vahethis link is working as you think?16:16
sixwheeledbeastIt's possible look at https://github.com/dderby/debian900 as one example.16:16
vaheThanks sixwheeledbeast , and thanks to all who helped me) I today goal day test my knowledge and phone16:18
vaheonce even almost killed the phone )16:18
vahethere is a good community , good luck to all )16:19

bencohvahe: you can run devuan with a mainline kernel16:34
bencohthere's a wiki page about it16:35
vahehttps://wiki.maemo.org/Devuan_on_N90016:35
vaheaha thanks bencoh i need read that16:36
*** CatButts has joined #maemo16:39
vahebencoh: console only ?16:39
bencohI suppose you can use Xorg with omapfb or omapdrm as well16:41
bencohI think it should work16:41
vaheaha ok16:42
vaheI have a stupid question ) for example16:43
vahe`I first cloned mainline (or rather stable) kernel: '16:43
vahethis process is done in the phone ? or on my PC16:43

freemangordonor leste ;)17:44
CatButtsinteresting17:45
vaheI was hard for all of this , I don't understand how it all works17:45
CatButtsis it usable by chroot switch or do I have to do the... errrrr... what was that thing called17:45
freemangordonvahe: just grab the devuan image and write it to uSD card17:45
vaheI don't understand, where or what to copy17:45
CatButtsrescue OS?17:45
freemangordonvahe: https://mirror.leaseweb.com/devuan/devuan_jessie/embedded/devuan_jessie_1.0.0_armhf_n900.img.xz17:46
vaheokay, I have a 2GB SD card, free phone for testing17:46
freemangordonhmm, not sure if 2GB will be enough, don;t remember the image size17:47
freemangordonbut it might be17:47
freemangordonvahe: you would need to install u-boot on n900 (in maemo) as well17:47
vaheand my operating system of my laptop is funtoo OS  (gentoo)17:47
vahehow it can be installed directly in 32GB Nokia? :D17:47
vahesay direct connect17:48
freemangordonvahe: should not matter, any modern OS should be capable of writing image to uSD17:48
vaheok :)17:48
*** sunshavi has quit IRC17:48
freemangordonvahe: you can't install it to 32GB internal flash17:48
freemangordonat least not easlily17:49
vaheready downloaded17:49
freemangordonit is prepared to boot from uSD17:49
freemangordonok, boot your n900 in maemo and install u-boot (from Application Manager)17:49
freemangordonin the meanwhile write that image to uSD card17:50
vahei want try 2GB if not 4GB buy tomorrow17:50
vahe:)17:50
vaheu-boot, done17:50
CatButtswhat is size requirement for the image?17:50
CatButtsI have 2gm17:50
CatButts*2gb17:50
freemangordoncan;t remember :)17:50
freemangordonshould suffice17:50
vahe155mb17:50
CatButtscan it be mounted as an image file directly?17:51
freemangordonno, it is 155MB compressed17:51
CatButtswithout writing to SD?17:51
freemangordonyes17:51
vahe16217:51
vahe162mb :)17:51
freemangordonit has partition table, etc, so it can be mounted as loopback device17:51
freemangordonvahe: this is compressed size17:51
vaheno17:52
freemangordonuncompress it to see the real image size17:52
vaheuncompress 162.3mb17:52
KotCzarnydecompressing xz on n900 isnt fun, so use your pc17:52

vaheyes mate-desktop17:54
freemangordonthere is a tool called "disk image writer" under ubuntu17:54
CatButtswhat precautions should I take with u-boot?17:54
freemangordoncan't help with gentoo or whatever it is :)17:54
KotCzarnyetcher17:54
freemangordonCatButts: ?!?17:54
vaheI can write with dd17:54
CatButtsI have cssu-testing and power kernel installed17:54

CatButts*precautions with installing u-boot17:55
freemangordonKotCzarny: not really good idea for uSD writes17:55
freemangordonCatButts: usual, don;t if you have no clue :)17:55
KotCzarnyfmg: you should talk to tkaiser one day, would be fun :>17:55

freemangordonshould do the job I guess17:56
KotCzarnyin armbian they have had lots of people with sh*tty sd card and sd writers17:57
freemangordonKotCzarny: I vaguely remember seeing that nick, but can't really recall in what regard17:57
KotCzarnythat's why he is stuck on etcher vs dd17:57
freemangordonah17:57
freemangordonwell, I tend to always buy expensive (and presumably quality) cards and expect the others to behave like that :)17:58
KotCzarnyhehe, try kingston class 4 one day, or some fake ;)17:58
freemangordonI doubt I will buy kingston for the next 10 years17:59
freemangordon;)17:59

CatButts~uboot18:48
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=8161318:48

infobotdsp is, like, (Digital Signal Processor) A DSP is a microprocessor designed to work with analog signals such as video or audio that have been digitally encoded. The DSP then takes these digital representations and performs operations on them. DSPs are used in video, sound, and modem technology. Intel's MMX instruction set is basically an attempt to make the Pentium processor line capable of DSP operations. This follows Intel's theory of putting all the ...19:09
