infobotQuestions in the channel should be specific, informative, complete, concise, and on-topic.  Don't ask if you can ask a question first.  Don't ask if a person is there; just ask what you intended to ask them.  Better questions more frequently yield better answers.  We are all here voluntarily or against our will.05:24

timelessbut i just tried updating (for meltdown), and the system didn't come back after rebooting06:16
timelessi just tried rebuilding it (which took a bloody long time), and it too hasn't come up after rebooting06:17

brolin_empeyCyanogenMod 11 on my Galaxy Note 3 unexpectedly rebooted while installing application but not OS updates for the first time in months, then CyanogenMod got stuck in a boot loop.  I used TWRP to clear the Dalvik cache and some other cache.  Now the computer just displays the CyanogenMod boot screen forever (for ever?) but no longer reboots by itself.08:55
brolin_empeyI really want to avoid the huge chore of starting over with a new installation of the Android OS.08:58
*** vahe has quit IRC09:08
brolin_empeyThe battery feels slightly bulgey/swollen again. (fail)09:12
Vajbbrolin_empey: i installed Lineage os 13 in my galaxy tab 2 lately. Works well so far.09:15
brolin_empeyVajb: I installed CyanogenMod 11 right after I bought my Galaxy Note 3 in around 2015 May and had been using the same installation of CyanogenMod 11 since then.09:18
brolin_empeyI should not have wiped more than one thing at once.09:19
Vajbi wanted to instal it too, but then saw that cyanogenmod is no more and Lineage is it's successor09:20
brolin_empeyI only wiped caches, which I thought was safe because I assumed that what was cached could be recreated.09:21
Vajbcan u copy it contents via some flashing tool?09:21
Vajbadb or tw something09:21
Vajbi think that lineage is preparations asked to clear some caches too. So maybe cache means something else in android camp09:22
brolin_empeyVajb: CyanogenMod was still active in 2015 May but the current version was already at least 12 by then.  I should have installed version 12 but installed version 11 due to a misunderstanding.09:23
*** infobot has quit IRC09:24
Vajblook for lineage web page. Flash process is pretty straight forward09:25
Vajbi got some problems first, but that was because i didn't realize that vol- and power leads to different place than vol+ and power09:26
*** infobot has joined #maemo09:27
brolin_empeyMy old CyanogenMod 11 installation actually finally finished booting after multiple minutes but Trebuchet, the launcher used by CyanogenMod, constantly crashes after I unlock the video console.09:28
Vajbdid you install something suspicious09:30
brolin_empeyI actually did not manually install anything.  Since 2017 July or earlier I began using only the celluar network and stopped using Wireless LANs on my handheld computer because I usually do not need to use a Wireless LAN for my use case because I never reach my 2 GB cellular data limit per billing period and I want to avoid privacy issues caused by automatically connecting to a Wireless LAN.  My installation of the Android OS is configured so that09:43
brolin_empeyapplication updates (using Google Play) are automatically installed only when using a Wireless LAN or other unmetered Internet connection to avoid large bills from large downloads using the cellular data connection.  I had not connected to a Wireless LAN for multiple months, maybe not since 2017 July, but I intentionally connected to my Wireless LAN at home on Saturday morning because someone called me via Google Hangouts (VoIP call);  the call quality with09:43
brolin_empeyat least Google Hangouts is too poor when using the cellular network but is OK when using a wired Internet connection (DSL in this case) via a Wireless LAN.  So then the Android OS began downloading and installing maybe even at least 5 months worth of queued updates to installed applications.09:43
brolin_empeyThe OS does not run for long enough before rebooting for me to disconnect from the Wireless LAN to stop the automatic installation of application updates.  I would have to either disable the Wireless LAN access point on my gateway or block the hardware (MAC) address of the Wireless LAN controller in my handheld computer.09:53
brolin_empeyI should be able to temporarily remove the MAC address from the allow list because my access point is configured to allow only known MAC addresses to connect.10:06

Vajbwhat android version it uses? Lineage 13 uses 6,0. That gave new life to my old tablet. Since most of the apps in play store wouldn't install before.11:03

sixwheeledbeastIdeally would be better to have the device "always ask" before connection to WLAN. MAC address filtering is a waste of time as a security measure on WLAN.11:59

brolin_empeyVajb: CyanogenMod 11 is based on Android OS 4.4 .  Almost everything I have wanted to use on the Android OS still works with Android OS 4.4 .  termux requires at least Android OS 5 but that does not matter because I wanted termux so I could run Python on my handheld computer because I use Python, specifically IDLE, as my calculator on my desktop computer but I do not need Python as a calculator for the Android OS because I can use Mathdroid, which still18:31
brolin_empeysupports Android OS 4.4 .18:31
Vajbit is a bit newer than the version which i were using. I thing it had something like 3,5. I bought a smart scale which software was not supported, so i finally decided to flash the thing :D18:34
Vajbkinda like last straw18:34
brolin_empeyVajb: OK.18:37
