pirlahello everyone18:24
pirlajust got a nokia n900 to try, how can I install debian (with no maemo) on it?18:24
KotCzarnyat this point you might as well go for maemo-leste18:25
pirlawhat's that?18:25
KotCzarnydevuan for n90018:25
*** louisdk has joined #maemo18:25
pirlayes, how can i install it?18:25
KotCzarnyrecent kernel etc, obviously not fully functional as a phone/pda yet18:26
KotCzarnythere was an img floating18:26
KotCzarnyhttps://leste.maemo.org/Nokia_N90018:27
pirlathx, checking out18:27
pirlaI see I need flasher, which isn't around from some time18:30
KotCzarnyit is18:30
KotCzarnyeither 0xffff and flasher-3.5 is freely available18:30
pirlawhere?18:32
KotCzarny0xffff is open source project18:32
KotCzarnyand old nokia binary is probably somewhere around:18:32
KotCzarny~flasher18:32
infobotrefer ~flashing; http://www.jedge.com/n810/flasher/maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2.tar.gz (also .exe!), or http://www.chakra-project.org/ccr/packages.php?ID=5027 or generally http://www.google.com/search?q=maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2.tar.gz.   HARMattan(N9): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fl/flasher-harmattan/flasher-harmattan.tar.gz; list of filenames/md5sums: http://pastebin.com/sYKdNJSH, or http://galif.eu/nokia/18:32
pirlaThanks again, I downloaded it18:37
pirlanow, I see I have to type a dd command, what's the correct syntax?18:38
KotCzarnyread the page i've linked18:38
KotCzarnythere are descriptions/instructions18:38
*** spiiroin has joined #maemo18:39
pirlaI can't find instructions18:39
Juestoman dd18:39
KotCzarnyahm18:39
KotCzarnyok18:39
KotCzarnyxz -dc file.img.xz | dd bs=1M >/dev/yourmmcdevice18:40
pirlaI tried dd maemo-whatever /path to sd/18:40
KotCzarnyno, path to sd is filesystem18:41
KotCzarnyyou need to write to block device18:41
pirlasorry, can't understand18:41
Juestook, you seem to need a gnu/linux lessons before18:41
pirlaoh I see18:41
KotCzarnyexample, /dev/sdj might be block device18:41
pirlaI need to put there the /dev18:42
Juestoyou need to know what's your target file18:42
KotCzarnybut if you mount /dev/sdj4 /some/path it will mount filesystem from 4th partition of sdj at given path18:42
Juestodd needs if= and of=18:42
*** Pali has joined #maemo18:42
KotCzarnyand since you are new to this, better watch out, you can wipe some other drive if you dont know what you are doing18:42
KotCzarny /dev/sdj* above was obviously some random example18:43
KotCzarnyyou have to know what you are going to overwrite before you do it18:43
KotCzarnyjuesto: wrong18:44
JuestoAnd i suggest going with a computer and such, n900 gui is kind of best for the device especially when you dont know about technical stuff18:44
JuestoKotCzarny: Depends on dd version18:44
pirlayes, I know thanks. I just can't really understand how dd works18:44
KotCzarnyno. any version.18:44
Juesto:/18:44
Juestoagain, see man dd18:45
KotCzarnyin the line i've written above specifying if= would be wrong18:45
KotCzarnyunless you would use if=/dev/stdin18:45
Juestoah ok18:47
Juestobut of= is correct :p18:47
KotCzarnyits optional18:47
Juestohm18:47
Juestoagain, depends on version, sort of18:48
KotCzarnyagain, wrong18:48
Juestoit doesnt really accept just "filename"18:48
KotCzarnyin this example it writes to /dev/stdout which is redirected to /dev/yourmmcdevice18:48
Juestoi see, thanks18:49
pirlaSo, I just dd-ed the img on the sd18:51
pirlanow what?18:56
KotCzarnysee the forum link from that page18:56
KotCzarnydd the image to an sd card. Then boot from the sd card using either 0xFFFF/flasher-3.5 or u-boot/bootmenu: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=8161318:56
KotCzarnyor read how to boot using flasher booting mode18:57
pirlahow do I boot from sd? do I need to do this on phone or on pc?18:57
KotCzarnydepends, do you have uboot/bootmenu currently?18:58
KotCzarnyif not, i guess you can just take kernel+ramdisk and boot with flasher in one-time mode18:58
pirlano, but I saw there's another bootloader in18:58
pirlagive me just 2 minutes18:58
KotCzarnyyou will also need proper linux cmdline i guess18:58
pirlayes, I'm on stretch18:58
pirlaI have nitdroid bootloader19:00
KotCzarnyi guess you would have to read how to add another kernel+ramdisk+params combo to it19:00
pirlareally? I just want Debian, nothing more19:01
KotCzarnythen if you have pc available, just boot it via flasher19:01
pirlahow?19:01
Juestoit says in the instructions....19:02
pirlaif I try to launch flasher I get a non-existent file/folder error19:02
KotCzarnyyou need proper params, running things blindly wouldnt help19:02
pirlado I really need a phd to run debian on my phone?19:03
KotCzarnyno, but you should know what you are doing19:03
pirlaalmost, 50-5019:03
Juesto50-50 is not enough19:04
pirlaI just can't understand how to "boot from flasher"19:04
JuestoRead19:04
KotCzarnyhttps://n900.quitesimple.org/rescueOS/rescueOS-1.2/documentation.txt19:04
KotCzarnyit's an example from rescueos19:04
KotCzarnyyou can see params there, which will be different in your case19:05
Juestois there a official documentation or manpage for it?19:05
KotCzarnyroot will be probably /dev/mmcblk0 or something19:05
KotCzarnyand kernel/ramdisk filenames you have to extract to your pc from that img or tar19:05
KotCzarnys/filenames/files19:06
pirlaI can't understand what are you saying19:08
pirlawhat does "boot from flasher" mean?19:08
pirlaI have to connect my phone to pc?19:08
KotCzarnyyes19:08
pirlaok19:08
pirlaDo I need to press u?19:09
KotCzarnyi suspect the usual flasher instruction applies. although important change is adding -b param to boot instead of flashing19:09
*** eMHa__ has quit IRC19:16
*** florian has joined #maemo19:19
pirlaexcuse me, why can't I execute flasher? it exits with a "non existent file/folder" error19:20
KotCzarnypaste the error message19:20
pirlaroot@DESKTOP-K6M1K7O:~/Scaricati/maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2# ./flasher-3.5 --help bash: ./flasher-3.5: File o directory non esistente19:20
Juestopirla: make sure you're writing the correct commandline19:20
JuestoBecause the file is not in there19:21
KotCzarnymaybe you need 32bit compatibility libs19:21
Juestoif its there then you need to run bash ./flasher-3.519:21
pirlayes, you're right19:21
pirlaI need 32 bit lib19:21
Juestodid you try chmod +x to the file?19:21
pirlayes19:21
Juestostill doesnt run?19:21
Juestohm19:21
pirlaI'm on a 64 bit Debian Stretch19:22
KotCzarnyyou will probably have to install libusb0-32bit or something19:22
pirlabetter: I did an apt-get install 0xffff19:23
KotCzarnythat should be better option, yes19:23
pirlaOk, so when running I get a nothing to do19:24
KotCzarnyparams?19:24
pirlaI'm checking what could I need from the -help19:25
pirlaSummary: I have the phone in upload mode, I also have the usb icon on the topright19:38
pirlanow, what should I type in order to flash my image?19:39
pirlaI have leste flashed to the sd19:39
*** Kabouik has quit IRC19:39
KotCzarnydid you extract kernel, ramdisk from the sdcard?19:40
pirlaDon't know, I did a dd19:40
KotCzarnyyes, to write sdcard, but to boot from pc you should copy them out19:40
pirlapc?19:40
KotCzarnywhere do you run the flasher?19:42
pirlaon pc19:42
pirlaok, so I'm redownloading the image19:43
KotCzarnywhat for?19:43
KotCzarnyjust eject the card and put into pc19:43
pirlaI erased it because I didn't knew it was required again19:43
pirlaok, getting everything from sd19:44
pirlauimage and zimage19:46
*** jskarvad has quit IRC19:50
pirlaOk, now I have a folder named debian in my home, I have to launch 0xffff19:53
