| peetah | bootloop again for me with upgrade from CSSU testing thumb to T8.1 | 00:50 |
| merlin1991 | sd in or out, if it boots without sd check if you're relly on 8.1 | 00:50 |
| peetah | I tried both, and both whent bootlooping | 00:51 |
| peetah | s/whent/went/ | 00:51 |
| infobot | peetah meant: I tried both, and both went bootlooping | 00:51 |
| merlin1991 | now this is a bad one | 00:51 |
| *** nox- has joined #maemo-ssu | 00:52 | |
| merlin1991 | so it doesn't boot at all? | 00:52 |
| peetah | I'll try again a few times from clean powered off device via bootmenu and then I'll report | 00:52 |
| peetah | it boots but does not get the dots | 00:53 |
| peetah | nope, it really doesnot want to go futher than the "before dots" screen, sd in or out | 00:57 |
| merlin1991 | we'll need Pali/freemangordon for this I fear | 00:58 |
| peetah | restoring backup then ... | 00:59 |
| merlin1991 | can you boot into rescueos first? | 01:00 |
| peetah | too late sorry | 01:00 |
| peetah | I'll try tomorrow: what do you need ? | 01:01 |
| merlin1991 | check if you really got the latest version :) | 01:03 |
| merlin1991 | if you boot rescueos, mnt maemo root and "grep -A8 mp-fremantle-community-pr /mnt/maemo/var/lib/dpkg/status" | 01:03 |
| merlin1991 | then you should see the version | 01:04 |
| peetah | is there more than one repository on maemo.org for cssu testing, like load balancing or something ? because I fail to see how I could have downloaded T8 instead of T8.1 | 01:04 |
| peetah | but I'll do that and will report here | 01:05 |

| merlin1991 | for example Skry had the very same problem today | 01:07 |
| *** Pali has quit IRC | 01:08 | |

| peetah | could'nt resist ... it is 8.1 and it is bootlooping with and without sd in. Led color is varying though before rebooting: sometimes white, sometimes yellow, sometimes redish, without a specific pattern | 02:04 |
| peetah | now restoring backup, then sleep! bye | 02:06 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | LED? merlin1991, you added my suggestion to give progress indicator - particularly for fsck - during boot via indicator LED? | 02:09 |
| merlin1991 | nope fsck is disabled now it shouldn't even run | 02:09 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | mhm | 02:10 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | probably still better than running it against wrong partition, but... .oO(hmmmm) | 02:10 |
| peetah | when I say varying, I mean between reboot, not during the same boot | 02:10 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | yep, got that | 02:11 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | thanks for disambiguation nevertheless | 02:11 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | I really wonder if that fstab hack been worth it | 02:12 |
| merlin1991 | I really wonder if it is that fstab hack that is causing peetahs bootloop | 02:17 |
| peetah | which hack ? | 02:18 |
| merlin1991 | the genfstab.awk is replace with code in rcS-late | 02:18 |
| merlin1991 | basically from one ugly hack transformed to a less ugly hack | 02:19 |
| peetah | I should have checked what was in fstab before restoring then ... | 02:19 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | btw (OT) is there a way to have (globally defined) $var in apache .html/.php? E:G like var OWNDOMAIN=maemo.org and <a href=http://wiki.${OWNDOMAIN}/flashing> | 02:20 |
| peetah | mod_include | 02:20 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | merlin1991: ^^^ :-) | 02:21 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | I'm sure I could figure sth to deliver the "right" html content to the right IP ranges then :-D | 02:22 |
| peetah | something like <!--#set owndomain=maemo.org --> in your .html | 02:22 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | peetah: that would still mean I had to change every single foobar.htm file | 02:22 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | as soon as the domain name changes | 02:23 |
| peetah | that's what sed is usually used for | 02:24 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | how would I run sed inside apache? | 02:26 |
| peetah | sorry I did'nt get it right: I thought you had | 02:27 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | think of same page getting delivered under two different domains | 02:27 |
| peetah | sorry I did'nt get it right: I thought you wanted to have painless way to change your htmls for various domains | 02:27 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | yes | 02:27 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | but realtime | 02:27 |
| peetah | then I don't know, but I'm not an apache expert .. | 02:28 |
| peetah | backup restored now, so I'll wish you a nice whatever time of the day ! bye | 02:29 |

| Drathir | oh i seee | 13:23 |
| hardo | and go an webpage and install cssu testing from there | 13:23 |
| Drathir | any errors show when try to update KP 52? | 13:24 |
| hardo | i don t know how to update | 13:24 |
| hardo | i found in ham | 13:24 |

| hardo | i even don t know if i have to activate the repositories from community (devel) | 13:26 |
| Drathir | i have "harder" config because i have also u-boot on board... | 13:26 |
| hardo | i see... | 13:27 |
| Drathir | menu settings about cssu | 13:27 |
| hardo | what is there ? | 13:27 |
| Drathir | what flavor you have there? | 13:28 |

| Drathir | Version: 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo7.2 | 13:29 |
| Drathir | looks like updated sucessfull | 13:29 |
| hardo | yes | 13:29 |
| hardo | uname -r shows | 13:30 |
| hardo | 2.6.28-omap1 | 13:30 |
| hardo | that means the kernel is not up to date | 13:31 |

| Drathir | idk if this is possible without u-boot... | 13:32 |
| hardo | linux kernel for power user should be right ? | 13:32 |
| hardo | in ham | 13:32 |
| Drathir | DocScrutinizer05 maybe can help more hardo... | 13:33 |

| merlin1991 | hardo: when you don't have u-boot then you should enable extras-deve and install kernel-power-flasher | 15:09 |
| peetah | merlin1991: are there more users experiencing bootloop even with T8.1 or am I still the only one ? | 15:26 |
| merlin1991 | so far only hardo had it but for him it went fine when he reflashed and then installed T8.1 | 15:27 |
| hardo | peetah my fault was that I forgot about the sd card | 15:29 |
| merlin1991 | hardo: well you can put it in now, it shouldn't affect it anymore | 15:31 |
| peetah | ok so odds are high that my problem could come from whatever change I could have made in critical files in the past... now which one , I don't know and I really don't want to reflash, so I'll have to postpone this upgrade and dig a little more in my /etc | 15:31 |
| peetah | hardo: what about the sd card ? | 15:32 |
| hardo | nothing special | 15:32 |
| hardo | today i flashed my n900 | 15:32 |
| hardo | and after installing cssu my n900 didn't reboot | 15:33 |
| hardo | i think for obvios reseon ^ | 15:33 |
| hardo | reason | 15:33 |
| *** hardo has quit IRC | 15:56 | |
| Drathir | hmm now /me thinkink about apply of cssu update ^^ | 16:06 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | peetah: check rcs-late, preinit, etc | 16:10 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | peetah: particularly those that might have changed in T8 | 16:10 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | alas it seems CSSU doesn't (try to) apply patches to those files, but rather ruthlessly replaces them no matter if they are original or customized | 16:12 |
| *** X-Fade has quit IRC | 16:12 | |
| *** X-Fade has joined #maemo-ssu | 16:13 | |
| peetah | after upgrade, and bootloop, I have a new /var/log/fsck_home.log that says fsck has been cancelled: is this normal ? | 16:18 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | well, the T8 fstab hack also touched the already botched fsck mechanism | 16:24 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | aiui | 16:24 |
| peetah | dmesg does not give any useful info | 16:24 |
| peetah | I installed sysklogd before upgrading, but it doesn't seems to fill in the /var/log/syslog during the bootloop | 16:25 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | and caused fsck to check the wrong MMC since the name of eMMC changes depending on whether or not a uSD been inserted during boot | 16:25 |
| peetah | any other place where I could gather information about the boot process ? | 16:26 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | debugging boot process is really hard | 16:26 |
| peetah | but checking the wrong MMC should simply send a warning, not preventing boot no ? | 16:27 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | I think the schema been: do fsck to /home, if it succeeds continue booting; if it had to fix errors try to reboot after fsck exited, to make home remount cleanly | 16:28 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | or sth along that line | 16:28 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | merlin1991 claimed he kicked out resp disabled fsck completely as a stopgap measure in T8.1 | 16:30 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | it's quite unfortunate that this whole fstab patch made it into CSSU at all, without proper testing and perr review | 16:31 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | peer even | 16:31 |
| merlin1991 | peetah: check /etc/default/mount-opts | 16:40 |
| merlin1991 | and make sure the various _fsck options have a "0" settings | 16:40 |
| *** piscodig is now known as discopig | 16:43 | |
| peetah | merlin1991: no _fsck options in mount-opts, only home_opts and fat_opts | 16:45 |
| merlin1991 | then check if you have any /etc/default/mount-opts.* file | 16:45 |
| peetah | yep dpkg-dist | 16:46 |
| merlin1991 | cp yours into a backup mv that into place and merge changes | 16:46 |
| peetah | wow much more options there :) | 16:46 |
| merlin1991 | also bitchslap ham for not overwriting it and thus ruining your day | 16:46 |
| peetah | what about my own options which do not seem to appear in .dpkg-dist file ? do I copy them there or are they now not used by any scripts ? | 16:49 |
| merlin1991 | what are your own options? | 16:49 |
| peetah | home_opts="rw,noatime,errors=continue,commit=1,data=writeback" | 16:50 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | [2013-06-10 15:46:41] <merlin1991> [...] merge changes | 16:51 |
| peetah | fat_opts="noauto, nodev,noexec,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,utf8,uid=29999,shortname=mixed,dmask=000,fmask=0133,rodir" | 16:51 |
| peetah | ok it seems that they are overwritten by rcS-late | 16:52 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | bitchslap CSSU for overwriting config files instead of applying diff patches | 16:52 |
| merlin1991 | eval home_opts=$common_opts,$root_opts,\$${home_type}_opts | 16:52 |
| peetah | at least for home_opts | 16:52 |
| peetah | merlin1991: exactly | 16:53 |
| peetah | but fat_opts is not used anywhere | 16:53 |
| peetah | at least in event.d directory | 16:53 |
| merlin1991 | I think it's vfat_opts now | 16:53 |
| merlin1991 | hm not used either | 16:53 |
| peetah | so so I have to put them in mount-opts-overwrite | 16:54 |
| peetah | ? | 16:54 |
| *** hardo has joined #maemo-ssu | 16:54 | |
| peetah | or just ignore them, they do not seem to be very exotic | 16:54 |
| merlin1991 | there is $mydocs_opts now though | 16:54 |
| merlin1991 | and yes using mount-opts-overwrite is probably a better choice | 16:55 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | md5sum original "obsolete" files, compare md5sums to the master list that comes with "the update", warn if any of the original files been changed wrt what patch developer expected to see, the apply / not apply diff-patches to user's system | 16:55 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | it's pretty silly to simply overwrite any existing files | 16:56 |
| merlin1991 | well it doesn#t overwrite them at all | 16:57 |
| merlin1991 | it places a new file $file.dpkg-dist | 16:57 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | that's almost as silly | 16:57 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | at least without a FAT WARNING | 16:57 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | idealy a diff-patch should get applied | 16:58 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | which would do the merges you suggested above | 16:58 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | user still should check if the merge went ok | 16:58 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | when the original file been different to what devel expected his patch gets applied to | 16:59 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | also a backup of original file must get kept | 16:59 |
| *** Milhouse has quit IRC | 17:00 | |
| peetah | still looping | 17:00 |
| merlin1991 | hm check if you have any other .dpkg-dist files on the system | 17:00 |
| peetah | already did, but nothing except for openvpn which should not influence the boot process | 17:01 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | maybe disabling watchdogs could help? | 17:01 |
| merlin1991 | then there's nothing left but to add various echo "got past section x" >> /var/log/rcs.log lines into /etc/event.d/rcS-late and see where it stops | 17:02 |
| peetah | that's what I start to do | 17:03 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | tbh those diagnostic prints should be in every boot related script. Maybe even set -vx | 17:03 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | exec >>/var/log/rcs.log | 17:05 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | err | 17:05 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | exec 2>>/var/log/rcs.log ? | 17:05 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | the orthodox boot debug procedure is to attach a serial console, btw | 17:09 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | that's what the UART-3(?) testpoints under battery are for | 17:10 |
| merlin1991 | I bet the kernel config doesn't have the serial console bootline on the shipped devices | 17:11 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | on Freerunner, you got a debug board for that | 17:11 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | flasher allows defining new boot kernel cmdline | 17:11 |

| peetah | clock_daemon, hildon-control-panel-personalisation, rc-clean-fail-thumbnail ans xsession start on MOUNTS_OK | 17:45 |

| DocScrutinizer05 | sure | 18:04 |
| Drathir | in that case oryginal is only exchanged with KP one? | 18:05 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | that's the usual way to do it | 18:05 |

| DocScrutinizer05 | peetah: initctl emit MOUNTS_OK sends a signal to initctl/upstart, which in turn makes upstart start all scripts that are defined as waiting for that signal. any of the jobs/services started could cause reboot | 18:06 |
| *** Milhouse has joined #maemo-ssu | 18:07 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | peetah: check /etc/events.d for files with "start (on|after) MOUNTS_OK" | 18:08 |
| peetah | that's why I asked which disable order of the started services cited above would make more sense in order to point the culprit | 18:08 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | cd /etc/event.d/; grep MOUNTS_OK * | 18:10 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | you won't gain anything by disabling those services | 18:10 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | you need to check which one fails on getting started | 18:11 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | a cascaded "sleep N" at beginning in any of the services, plus a few echo lines (or logger lines) should help to serialize the jobs and see which one gets started but never finishes | 18:12 |
| Drathir | but anyway i little scary to helping ppl with kernel questions is too important and critical thing in the system... and too responsible to my knowledge... | 18:12 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | I also found >> hildon-control-panel-personalisation.dpkg-new:start on MOUNTS_OK<< | 18:13 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | but that's on *my* (obsolete) system, not related to T8 | 18:13 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | peetah: I'd figure e.g. xsession or hildon-control-panel-personalisation or rc-clean-fail-thumbnail might have startjobs that use dsmetool to monitor the process and when the service fails and segfaults for some reason (not unseen for e.g. H-D-widgets when config got messed up) the dsme reboots system after 3 failed respawns in 60s | 18:19 |

| *** Vlad_on_the_road has joined #maemo-ssu | 20:05 | |
| kerio | DocScrutinizer05: bitchslap HAM for not presenting the standard "config file changed, overwrite or keep?" dialog on package update | 20:06 |
| kerio | diff patches are kinda hard with the way we're doing config files throughout the whole of maemo | 20:06 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | well, not everything is a config file | 20:06 |
| kerio | if it's not a config file, it's the user's fault for modifying it under dpkg's nose | 20:07 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | meh | 20:07 |
| kerio | (or the package maintainer's fault for not marking it as a config file) | 20:07 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | check who's maintainer and what's package of rcs-late | 20:08 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | or of mount-opts | 20:08 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | that's exactly why CSSU got _invented_ | 20:09 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | so we can't say we're CSSU and not our fault | 20:09 |
| kerio | anyway, before pali had finalized the latest system-services, i reported a bootloop that i couldn't properly investigate due to lack of time | 20:09 |
| kerio | but my config is way too nonstandard to be of much use :< | 20:09 |
| *** sixwheeledbeast has joined #maemo-ssu | 20:10 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | actually CSSU should try to cope with as many config variations as reasonably feasible | 20:11 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | and for sure we MUST NOT assume a completely standard system as granted | 20:12 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | rather we MUST check if the system actually _is_ compatible with whatever we try to propagate to all users | 20:13 |
| kerio | this change, if it worked properly, kinda needed some user intervention, in case of a nonstandard config | 20:13 |
| kerio | but that's to be expected, a nonstandard config must modify rcS-late | 20:14 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | so indiscriminately replacing whatever rcs-late we find on user's system for sure is a extremely silly and stupid thing, not in line with best practice | 20:14 |
| kerio | mmh, you can't quite do it differently though | 20:14 |
| kerio | not with the current HAM at least | 20:14 |
| freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: and what do you propose to do instead? | 20:14 |
| kerio | freemangordon: postinst scripts! :D | 20:14 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | you can a) do a md5sum to check if system has unaltered files like rcs-late, and b) apply diffs rather than replace complete files | 20:15 |
| kerio | a diff here would still be catastrophical | 20:15 |
| kerio | it's quite a substantial change | 20:15 |
| kerio | the correct thing to do is to ask the user | 20:16 |
| freemangordon | and what if diff cannot be applied? | 20:16 |
| kerio | which is what dpkg does | 20:16 |
| freemangordon | well, but HAM does not | 20:16 |
| freemangordon | so file a bug against HAM | 20:16 |
| kerio | is it a bug, though? | 20:16 |
| kerio | feature request | 20:16 |
| freemangordon | still, I doubt it will be implementd | 20:17 |
| *** Milhouse has quit IRC | 20:17 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | kerio: see what I suggested before: check md5sum, ifequ: (apply patch, exit), warn user, create backup, apply patch, present to user and ask him if that's OK, exit to editor | 20:19 |
| kerio | wait, apply patch? at that point you can just replace the file | 20:20 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | so you want to ship a diff AND a full replacement file? why? | 20:21 |
| kerio | and yeah, that's pretty much what dpkg does, except that there's no diff between old and new so your choices are to replace, keep or view a diff between current and new | 20:21 |
| *** hardo has quit IRC | 20:21 | |
| kerio | current as in the current config file | 20:21 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | yes, dpkg should use diffmerge istead of diff | 20:22 |
| freemangordon | BTW is rcS-late really a config file? | 20:23 |
| kerio | it's in /etc | 20:23 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | no | 20:23 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | that's why it is no HAM bug | 20:23 |
| freemangordon | kerio: I don;t care where it is | 20:23 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | ham and dpkg/apt work correctly | 20:24 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | it's CSSU maintainers that *handle* it incorrectly | 20:24 |
| freemangordon | so, it is Nokia to blame for not doing it in the correct way initially | 20:24 |
| freemangordon | and we can fix it | 20:25 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | we should make HAM/apt *think/ rcs-late was a config file | 20:25 |
| kerio | marking it as not a config file would allow it to be properly dpkg-diverted | 20:25 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | (or any other of those scripts, for that topic) | 20:25 |
| freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: wouldn't a correct fix be to move that script to /sbin and to replace rcS-late with a wrapper to it? | 20:25 |
| kerio | so user modifications will stay, and the user will be responsible for it | 20:26 |
| kerio | otherwise dpkg will make rcS-late.dpkg-new in that directory, which fucks up the boot process | 20:26 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | kerio: valid point. Yes we probably shouldn't use dpkg/apt at all for it, rather postinst scripts and handle that stuff manually | 20:27 |
| kerio | +1 for anything that removes responsibilities from upstart | 20:27 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | freemangordon: ummm - I need to ponder your suggestion | 20:28 |
| *** Milhouse has joined #maemo-ssu | 20:29 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | we basically need sth similar to quilt/bitbake | 20:30 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | by structure | 20:30 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | the .deb dpkg is fubar on root, by Nokia abusing stuff with their mp-fremantle-pr | 20:31 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | and since everybody has mp-fremantle-pr, we can't assume everybody did any modifications s/he needed in e.g. initscripts in a way that's compatible with .deb/dpkg | 20:32 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | so all we could do via HAM/apt/dpkg is to deliver "empty" packages that apply a diff patch to system | 20:33 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | since basically *any* user modification to any part included in mp-fremantle-pr is messing up the whole dpkg concept | 20:35 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | or rather, CSSU would mess up user's system by installing a new mp-fremantle-pr | 20:35 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | that's why I always said CSSU shall leave mp-*-pr behind | 20:36 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | unpack it into as many independent pkgs as possible | 20:36 |

| kerio | it's not sysv | 20:45 |
| sixwheeledbeast | get with the times :) | 20:48 |
| sixwheeledbeast | upstart was made as a better replacement for sysV | 20:49 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | upstart as well as systemd have abysmal "UI" | 20:49 |
| kerio | yeah, so it can boot faster by using all the multiple cores the n900 has | 20:49 |
| kerio | OH WAIT | 20:49 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | while sysV has a clear "API" by ls /etc/init.d/*, upstart and particularly systemd offer no clean API/UI to find out what's going on and what are the sysop's options to do now | 20:51 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | sysV: for service in /etc/init.d/*; do $service status; done | 20:52 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | upstart: ????? | 20:52 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | and systemd even abandons runlevels | 20:53 |
| kerio | but runlevels are so unix, DocScrutinizer | 20:53 |
| kerio | people don't use anything but desktops or tablets | 20:54 |
| kerio | you should know that | 20:54 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | yeah, so let's see if we find some concept that's more windozy | 20:54 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | like systemd needing dbus(!!!) to even start up a system, and having his own shell to communicate with it | 20:55 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | clearly an ideal proces#0 | 20:55 |

| *** Martix has quit IRC | 20:56 | |

| DocScrutinizer05 | plain hybris | 21:00 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | "we don't need (easy porting of) *any* of the tools or libs or toolkits or filesystems or drivers of any of the UNIX systems. We are linux, we have everything we need and staying compatible with UNIX blocks our oh-so-devine creativity to have networked audio during user login" | 21:03 |
