ceenehi guys10:29
ceenehow you doing?10:29
KotCzarnyautumn sickness10:29
ceenethat's strange because it's winter already10:29
siceloby the way, some might be interested in https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-eleventh-update-january-2020.html10:32
ceenei was thinking of installing that in one of my n900, with the idea of having an uptodate kernel in which to install "modern" ham radio software10:32
ceenei say "modern" because ham radio software for linux is everything but modern10:33
siceloyou have nothing to lose :)10:33
ceenexastir has the most outdated interface I've ever seen10:33
*** Maxdamantus has joined #maemo10:33
ceenealso, I think the sdcard in which I have easydebian installed is failing10:35
ceenewhen I try to do somethings with it, the phone suddenly reboots (kernel panic?)10:35
ceeneIIRC I also have there two swap partitions10:35
ceenedoes audio input & output work on leste, via headset?10:36
siceloi believe so, yes. but you'll have to do it via alsamixer, etc.10:37
ceenei'll give it a try then10:38
ceeneby the way, maybe you guys know how to solve an issue I'm having with a Zynq based board10:38
ceeneLinux fails detecting an SPI memory flash that is correctly detected by u-boot. u-boot says: SF: Detected n25q128a13 with page size 256 Bytes, erase size 4 KiB, total 16 MiB; while Linux reports: m25p80 spi0.0: unrecognized JEDEC id bytes: 00 00 00 00 00 0010:39
ceeneDoes u-boot do something extremely clever that Linux does not?10:39
ceenethe only gue that has answered me about this on #linux is someone who doesn't know what u-boot is10:41
ceeneso I think i'm on my own :D10:41
ceenes/gue/guy/10:41
KotCzarnyceene: spi driver has a hardcoded data about known flash10:42
KotCzarnyso just find/add10:42
KotCzarnybut id being all 0 might mean something else is wrong10:43
ceeneyep, the problem is that this thing seems to be reading all 00 bytes, so it doesn't find it in the database10:43
ceenethis chip memory is already in the driver, it should work10:43
ceenei have similar boards with the same chip that are getting recognized just fine10:43
KotCzarnywrong spi config then in linux?10:43
ceenei don't know, the device tree is the same in both linux and u-boot10:44

badcloud_Any reason the "Alarm tone" button is greyed?16:37
badcloud_Also, I was wondering if there is a lock screen that shows sms/email/im content16:39
sicelointeresting. that's the first thing i disable on Android :p16:53
badcloud_sicelo haha16:53
KotCzarnyalarms? but they are useful :)16:53
sicelothe lock screen notifications16:54
KotCzarnyi know, just kidding16:54
sicelootoh, N900 is still my main device .. so even alarms, music, etc. - all happens on N90016:56
KotCzarnyif i could only run some of the android apps on it easily..16:56

badcloud_What's the difference between modrana and modrana-qml? Aside from the name :)19:38
KotCzarnylibraries compiled against?19:41
*** jskarvad has quit IRC19:43
siceloiirc it's the UI in use. without QML, it uses GTK19:46
badcloud_Makes sense19:53
badcloud_I'm still in the dark about not being able to change the alarm tone19:58
badcloud_I successfully installed thumb19:59
siceloalarm tone?20:00
badcloud_Yes20:00
badcloud_The button is greyed out20:00
badcloud_In maemo,  not modrana20:01
siceloi think you're trying to set the tone while setting an alarm? i guess someone wanted to implement different alarm ringtones :)20:02
siceloJust do it in Clock > Alarm Settings20:02
sicelos/different /per-/20:03
badcloud_Thanks, that's what I missed :P20:03
siceloyw20:05
badcloud_Is there mp-fremantle-community-pr for thumb?20:08
KotCzarnyhow did you install thumb?20:08
badcloud_I tried according to the wiki20:09
badcloud_With the .install file20:09
KotCzarnyok20:09
badcloud_But in the end I had to apt-get upgrade20:09
sicelowhat is your output for `apt-cache policy mp-fremantle-community-pr`20:10

sicelohaha, it says none installed20:15
siceloi'd say re-do the steps. you obviously should have backups of important stuff in case things go south20:16
KotCzarnyi bet on some dependency failed20:17
KotCzarnyor you didnt wait for package manager to process installation properly20:18
badcloud_It gave me an error regarding the thumb enabler20:18
badcloud_So, start from scratch?20:19
siceloso do it again then, and let us know what error it gives you20:19
badcloud_Flash?20:19
KotCzarnytry without at first20:19
*** eMHa__ has quit IRC20:19
badcloud_package 'community-ssu-enabler' not found20:22
badcloud_That's also what I got before20:22
KotCzarnyhttps://talk.maemo.org/archive/index.php/t-72052.html20:23
KotCzarnymight be related20:23
KotCzarnywhat are your repos?20:24
badcloud_Apt-get found it, I'm trying that route20:25
siceloat least :)20:25
badcloud_https://pastebin.com/yKCeD8tM20:27
badcloud_https://pastebin.com/aWHbNiiD20:28
siceloyou don't have the Thumb repos there20:28
sicelohow are you installing Thumb?20:28
sicelohere's the .install file for Thumb20:29
badcloud_What about: deb http://maemo.merlin1991.at/cssu/community-thumb/ fremantle free non-free?20:33
badcloud_sicelo where's the .install file?20:35
siceloah, i didn't see your 2nd paste20:35
siceloyou have this in two separate files?20:35
badcloud_yes20:35
sicelohow did that happen?20:36
* sicelo checks on his N90020:36
badcloud_Hmm, the hildon list file was written by the .install file20:37
badcloud_the source list updated by me20:37
siceloyou generally shouldn't do that.20:37
badcloud_I see20:38
badcloud_What do yours look like?20:38
KotCzarnywhich basically means, backup your repos, then use only basic ones + the one from installer20:38
KotCzarny~maemo-repos20:38
infobotrumour has it, maemo-repos is http://wiki.maemo.org/Repository#List_of_Maemo_repositories20:38
siceloyou can remove everything from the sources.list file, and just open the file i linked above ... it will update the repos accordingly20:38
badcloud_sicelo can't see the link20:39
sicelo http://maemo.merlin1991.at/cssu/community-thumb/community-thumb-fremantle.install20:40
badcloud_That's the one I used20:40
sicelo:)20:41
badcloud_so just scrap the sources.list?20:41
sicelo(1) empty everything in sources.list, (2) open this file on N900 using the browser - it will then 'take' over, open Application Manager, etc.20:43
siceloyou don't have to manually add the repositories anywhere20:43
KotCzarnydoesnt app manager have own repo list/20:43
badcloud_What about the hildon-application-manager.list file?20:44
KotCzarnythats what im talking about20:44
siceloleave the hildon-application-manager.list file alone. use the .install file above20:45
sicelohttp://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/Thumb#Installation  <<-20:45
badcloud_Ok20:45
badcloud_That's the wiki I used20:45
*** eMHa__ has joined #maemo20:46
badcloud_Gave me the same error, package 'community-ssu-enablr' not found20:48
badcloud_enabler20:48
*** xmn has joined #maemo20:49
sicelook20:49
sicelocheck if hildon-application-manager.list has deb http://maemo.merlin1991.at/cssu/community-thumb/ fremantle free non-free perhaps now20:51
sicelobtw, did it open the Application Manager when you clicked the .install file?20:53
badcloud_deb http://maemo.merlin1991.at/cssu/community-thumb/ fremantle free non-free20:53
badcloud_Whoops, mistake20:53
badcloud_Hold on20:53
badcloud_https://pastebin.com/dTRsEDwq20:54
badcloud_Looks like I have double community-testing20:55
siceloat least the thumb repo is there now20:55
badcloud_And, yes. HAM opened when opening the .install file20:56
sicelohope you didn't close HAM afterwards :)20:57
badcloud_Of course not...20:57
siceloany errors yet?20:57
badcloud_package 'community-ssu-enabler' not found20:58
badcloud_I already installed that package via apt, seems like I'm running testing now20:58
siceloyou can try installing it in apt20:58
siceloah20:58
KotCzarnyi think ham does some additional mumbo-jumbo20:59

badcloud_81 packages being updated via apt now21:00
badcloud_Worst case I'll just reflash and try again...21:03
siceloit should be fine. i've installed CSSU using apt with no ill-effect21:07
badcloud_:)21:10
badcloud_How do you install u-boot alongside cssu?21:10
sicelolike any other package21:12
badcloud_Ok21:12
badcloud_For some reason I remember them clashing21:12
sicelothe only thing you need to be careful about is - since you'll be using -thumb, immediately after installing uboot, be sure to set Kernel Power to be the default kernel.21:14
sicelodo this before rebooting the device21:14
siceloreason - -thumb can't boot on the vanilla N900 kernel, which uboot defaults to21:16
sicelohttps://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1150740&postcount=1 has all the info you need21:17
badcloud_Done!21:18
badcloud_Now to test things out...21:19
badcloud_u-boot-flasher: Depends: kernel-modules21:24
badcloud_apt-get install kernel-modules:  kernel-cssu-modules instead of kernel-modules21:26
sicelothat's ok.21:28
badcloud_Doesn't seem like uboot installed21:31
siceloif it installed, you should have seen it flashing a kernel - same as when you flash on pc21:32
badcloud_That's it, I didn't see that21:32
siceloiirc it should even popup a dialog warning you about kernel install21:32
badcloud_I remember that too, it didn't do that21:32
siceloyou can just reinstall - u-boot-tools, uboot-flasher, kernel-cssu-bootimg21:34
*** florian_kc has joined #maemo21:36
badcloud_ Broken package: u-boot-flasher: Depends: kernel-modules21:39
siceloseems you're missing a repo21:43
badcloud_https://pastebin.com/Tg7MjTaK21:46
badcloud_probably extras-devel21:46
sicelonot devel21:48
siceloyou're missing the standard repos21:48
sicelo~maemo-repos21:48
infobotfrom memory, maemo-repos is http://wiki.maemo.org/Repository#List_of_Maemo_repositories21:48
siceloi use muarf mirrors21:49
badcloud_Ok, I'll add them to the hildon list21:53
badcloud_Added the two repos to sources.list22:03
badcloud_Still got same error from at-get22:04
badcloud_apt22:04
KotCzarnyafair, every time you run ham it will nuke your sources.list22:04
KotCzarny:)22:04
badcloud_I see22:04
siceloyou should add repos in HAM, not sources.list, and not even hildon-whatwhat.list22:04
sicelothere's a .install file for muarf - http://maemo.cloud-7.de/maemo5/et_al/HAM-catalogs/muarf_all.install22:07
badcloud_Oh thank god, I was afraid I'd have to type it all in22:08
badcloud_Still getting same error22:12
badcloud_Holy crap...22:13
siceloshow u your hildon.list22:13
badcloud_https://pastebin.com/DLFZfPw922:14
badcloud_I remember that one repo needs to be disabled when running thumb, right?22:15
sicelosame error? menaing "Broken package: u-boot-flasher: Depends: kernel-modules" ?22:16
badcloud_Yep22:16
sicelosounds like an unfinished catalog refresh. the package is definitely available22:17
sicelohttp://maemo.muarf.org/apt-mirror/mirror/repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo5.0/free/k/kernel/22:18
KotCzarnydidnt you tell him to install power-kernel?22:18
KotCzarny:)22:18
badcloud_yup22:18
siceloKotCzarny: power-kernel installs automatically for thumb. it's a requirement22:19
KotCzarnymaybe modules wont suck kernel as a dep22:19
siceloyou're installing using apt or HAM?22:20
badcloud_tried via apt, I can't see the packages in HAM22:21

badcloud_That's what I did, no go22:22
sicelosounds impossible (to me)22:23
badcloud_I''l try again22:24
* sicelo installs u-boot on thumb N90022:24
badcloud_Boohoo22:25
badcloud_How do I tell if I'm running thunb?22:25
siceloControl Panel > General > About Community CSSU22:26
badcloud_Says testing22:26
siceloyes, under version, should end with `+thumb0`22:26

badcloud_Tmaemo1222:27
sicelothen you're not on thumb yet22:27
siceloanyway, u-boot issue is unrelated to thumb22:27
sicelomaybe just reflash and start from scratch if that's easier :)22:29
badcloud_Maybe22:29
siceloat least not you know what repos you need, etc.22:29
sicelos/not/now/22:29
infobotsicelo meant: at least now you know what repos you need, etc.22:29

badcloud_package community-ssu-enabler not found23:50
KotCzarnydoes the error exist on normal cssu too?23:50
badcloud_Not sure, I'd like to install thumb23:51
KotCzarnystart with normal cssu, just to be sure its not something on your side23:51
badcloud_You mean stable or testing?23:51
sicelotesting23:51
badcloud_Ok23:51
badcloud_http://repository.maemo.org/community-testing/community-testing-fremantle.install ?23:52
badcloud_Do I need to remove thumb repo first?23:53
sicelobut, have you not already tried to install thumb? might be best to reflash again ..23:53
badcloud_No, I just reflashed23:54
badcloud_All the install file did was change hildon.list and look for community-ssu-enabler23:54
sicelomaybe go in to HAM and disable the Thumb repo then, and use that install file you linked23:55
badcloud_the testing install file works23:57
badcloud_is it possible to go to thumb after installing testing?23:58
KotCzarnyyes23:58
badcloud_giddyup then :)23:58
