DocScrutinizer05weird problem00:23
jsfrkargh I've messed with MyDocs earlier today (cleanup dirs etc.) after formating it works00:24
DocScrutinizer05lol00:25
DocScrutinizer05yep, microB downloads files to MyDocs iirc00:25
jsfrkmeh too much strange dirs so I rm'ed them and did not though that maemo lives there00:26
jsfrkas for user data etc..00:26
jsfrki thought that there are MY data :)00:26
DocScrutinizer05so when you click the (incredibly non-intuitive) CSSU-S/T banner at top of cssu wiki page, the browser tries to download the .install file, and stalls due to MyDocs can't write it00:26
jsfrkanyway thank you all for help00:26
jsfrkDocScrutinizer05: exactly00:26
DocScrutinizer05jsfrk: see:00:28
DocScrutinizer05~optification00:28
infobotoptification is a inventive duct tape workaround to reclaim space in fs root, done due to the fact the systeminit *and* partitioning is FUBAR,  http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Packaging,_Deploying_and_Distributing/Installing_under_opt_and_MyDocs, or ""OMG - I wish they looked into FHS and moved /usr to eMMC"", http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#PURPOSE2 bullet1,2 and fhs-2.3.html#PURPOSE16 dot3"00:28
DocScrutinizer05the long link/URL in the middle already gives it away00:28
jsfrkthanks, i'll read it00:29

DocScrutinizer05LOL  >>User might see your files, can get confused and try to delete or rename them.<<00:36
* DocScrutinizer05 wonders if microB developers ever have read that part00:36
*** nox- has joined #maemo-ssu00:37
kerioby the way, has anyone ever managed to upload a file via microb?00:38
jsfrkso now I installed CSSU using microB etc.. but again I gets rebootloops, it makes it to gui, then loads some widgets, refresh gui for few times and goes to reboot00:46
jsfrkis there a way how to completely wipe the phone ?00:46
* jsfrk googling hard00:47
kerio~flashing00:50
infobotwell, maemo-flashing is http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware00:50
jsfrkwill it wipe ~ and MyDocs ?00:53
jsfrki got it thanks00:56

DocScrutinizer05to all devels:14:29
DocScrutinizer05could you pretty please have a look into apt-cache and, on apt-cahe policy (et al),  make it print the *whole* URL of the repository? It can't be a complicated patch, probably not taking longer than 30min, incl packaging and uploading to repo14:30
DocScrutinizer05I even would do it myself if I had a working sb environment here14:33
DocScrutinizer05but the overhead to install sb is factors larger than the patch itself14:33
DocScrutinizer05if you insist, I could point you to the exact source lines that need edits, as well as the type of edit it takes14:34
DocScrutinizer05but I guess that's an insult for any of you14:35
DocScrutinizer05;-)14:35

kerioDocScrutinizer05: extras-devel.merlin1991.at community-testing.merlin1991.at15:08
merlin1991huh15:08
DocScrutinizer05indeed huh?15:08
kerioapt-cache policy prints the repos' domains15:09
DocScrutinizer05kerio: what you're trying to tell me?15:09
kerioi'm giving you a temporary workaround15:09
kerioi'm sorry, i won't do it anymore15:09
DocScrutinizer05temporary workaround for what? how?15:10
DocScrutinizer05and you're doing what anymore?15:10
keriothose are almost mirrors of extras-devel and community-testing15:10
DocScrutinizer05you honestly lost me completely15:10
kerioand they'll let you identify the repo a package is from because the domain is different15:11
kerioin the output of apt-cache policy15:11
DocScrutinizer05mhm15:11
DocScrutinizer05doesn't help me usually15:11
keriohm, why?15:11
DocScrutinizer05IroN900:~# apt-cache policy wireless-tools15:12
DocScrutinizer05wireless-tools:15:12
DocScrutinizer05  Installed: 30~pre7-1.3maemo+0m515:12

DocScrutinizer05 *** 30~pre7-1.3maemo+0m5 015:12
DocScrutinizer05        500 https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com ./ Packages15:12
keriooh, you want to know if it's ssu or apps15:12
DocScrutinizer05or tools, like here15:12
keriowait, tools?15:12
kerioisn't that on rmo?15:13
DocScrutinizer05no15:13
DocScrutinizer05http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/devtools/maemo5#Wireless_Tools15:13
DocScrutinizer05http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/devtools/maemo5#Installation15:13
kerio...so it *is* rmo15:14
DocScrutinizer05huh?15:14
DocScrutinizer05seriously?15:14
keriodeb http://repository.maemo.org fremantle/tools free non-free15:14
DocScrutinizer05indeed :-o15:14
DocScrutinizer05so wtf told me that apt-cache then?15:14
*** LauRoman has quit IRC15:14
DocScrutinizer05see how urgently it needs a patch?15:15
kerioit's on both dmncs and on fremantle/tools15:15
kerioand it's the same package down to md5sum15:16
DocScrutinizer05thanks for pointing me at that detail that I missed15:16
DocScrutinizer05however the root issue is about apt-cache15:17
kerioit's not apt's fault that nokia botched the repositories badly15:17
DocScrutinizer05it does some insane filtering/cropping on URL that probably just needs to get commented out15:18
kerioyou do multiple repositories by having multiple distributions, not by changing directory15:18
DocScrutinizer05I do nothing15:18
kerionokia did rmo like that15:18
DocScrutinizer05apt-cache does too much15:18
kerioand we can't change it15:18
DocScrutinizer05we can change apt-cache15:19
keriogo ahead then15:19
DocScrutinizer05which is what I asked for15:19
kerioapt feels like the kind of thing that's an absolute hell to change15:19
keriounless you know the whole design15:19
DocScrutinizer05nonsense15:19
DocScrutinizer05MohammadAG changed apt-get to kick out some nokia-borne botch15:20
DocScrutinizer05I guess patching apt-get is way easier even than apt-get15:20
DocScrutinizer05I guess patching apt-cache is way easier even than apt-get15:21
keriohm, i wonder if this new rcS-late will fuck up my boot15:23
kerioalso, i wonder if /etc/event.d/rcS-late.dpkg-old will fuck the boot process up15:24
DocScrutinizer05any bogus files in /etc/event.d sound like a pretty bad idea15:25
merlin1991DocScrutinizer05: kicking out the nokia bits was easy15:25
merlin1991because the nokia source was an upstream tarball + patches15:26
merlin1991remove one patch and you kicked stuff out clean :)15:26
merlin1991hm actually in the case of apt it was a configure flag: cd build && CXXFLAGS="$(confcxxflags)" ../configure --disable-block-hidden $(confflags)15:27
DocScrutinizer05merlin1991: grepping the source for the string "Version table:" should yield some rough location of where to do that probably 2char patch15:34
DocScrutinizer05//15:35
DocScrutinizer05;-P15:35
DocScrutinizer05merlin1991: could you point me to a URL where apt-cache source is available online so I don't have to git pull it or whatever?15:36
merlin1991http://gitorious.org/community-ssu/apt/trees/master ;)15:39
merlin1991and if you want it locally, there is a download master as tar.gz button on the right15:40
DocScrutinizer05thanks15:42
DocScrutinizer05http://gitorious.org/community-ssu/apt/blobs/master/cmdline/apt-cache.cc#line160315:44
DocScrutinizer05http://gitorious.org/community-ssu/apt/blobs/master/cmdline/apt-cache.cc#line1619 is the line that does the print15:49
DocScrutinizer05Indx->Describe(true).c_str());15:49
DocScrutinizer05and aiui http://gitorious.org/community-ssu/apt/blobs/master/cmdline/apt-cache.cc#line1615 SrcList->FindIndex(VF.File(),Indx is what populates Indx15:53
kerioah fuck it didn't15:57
kerioi mean, it did15:57
keriothis fucking shit right here15:58
kerioit's a package known to cause problems15:58
keriobut noooooooo15:58
keriolet's leave it in15:58
merlin1991kerio: wth you on about?15:59
keriosystem-services15:59
keriofucking up my boot16:00
merlin1991when will you learn to dpkg-diver changes to files that have been packaged?16:02
merlin1991*dpkg-divert*16:02
keriodpkg-divert doesn't work correctly for configuration files16:02
kerioit leaves shit around16:02
kerioand i told the new system-services to not generate fstab16:03
kerioand it's not generated16:03
merlin1991but did you keep your old fstab though?16:03
kerioyeah, it's not generated anymore16:03
DocScrutinizer05can any of you tell me why we messed with this already fubar fstab generation?16:05
keriowell, i don't quite know how to fix this16:06
keriook, restored the old rcS-late16:09
*** LauRoman has joined #maemo-ssu16:09
kerioalright, the old rcS-late makes it work16:10
DocScrutinizer05wouldn't the only correct way to touch such stuff (when touching it at all) be to ask in /etc/sysconfig (or whatever) whether to keep the classic way to autogenerate fstab on each boot, or not touch fstab at all?16:10
keriono no, you don't get it16:10
keriothe new rcS-late is supposed to handle that16:10
kerioand it kinda does16:11
keriobut there's some problem, and it doesn't work correctly16:11
keriothe idea and design are sound16:11
kerioit's configurable via a file in /etc/16:11
kerioand it's fstype-agnostic16:11
DocScrutinizer05I can't see the problem from a inserted line   if ! [ -f /etc/dont-touch-fstab ]; then...16:12
kerioit's a bigger change16:12
kerioit also handles, in theory, different filesystem types16:13
DocScrutinizer05and that's beyond the top16:13
keriono it's not, it's perfectly doable16:13
kerioand if you don't do that, it's simply useless to allow a static fstab16:13
DocScrutinizer05it's nonsense16:13
keriobecause 90% of people who'll use it want to do so to use a different fs16:14
DocScrutinizer05so what?16:14
kerioso, if you have to manually change rcS-late to do so, you might as well also manually disable the fstab generation16:14
DocScrutinizer05do they need friggin automatism to detect what fs they manually installed on their MyDocs?16:14
keriono, but it doesn't require home to be ext3 and mydocs to be vfat16:15
kerioit just rolls with whatever fstab says16:15
keriounlike the stock rcS-late16:15
DocScrutinizer05well, then where's the problem?16:15
keriothe problem is that it doesn't work :316:15
kerioand diagnosing boot issues is a PITA16:16
DocScrutinizer05omg, a "mount -a" fails?16:16
kerioit wants to do the nokia thing and check that home is mounted rw and not ro16:17
DocScrutinizer05 if [ -f /etc/dont-touch-fstab ]; then mount -a; else ... <do what you did since maemo3>16:17
kerioalso, you meant `mount /home && swapon -a`16:17
DocScrutinizer05the check for home being mounted r/w and not r/o has to go after the "fi" if above if's else branch16:25
DocScrutinizer05Of* above if's...16:25
kerioi see a lot of talking and not a lot of .diffs16:30
keriodon't steal my style16:30
DocScrutinizer05wut?16:34

ketil_kHello22:27
ketil_kI installed cssu testing on maemo PR1.3.1, but didn't understand how to do it correctly so now I have a desktop that is stuck at a wrong zoom level and which every widget stacks upon each others so I can't really start anything22:30
ketil_knever mind, I will try restoring the rootfs with backupmenu. Forgot about that possibility22:31

*** MohammadAG has quit IRC23:16
merlin1991ketil_k: the wiki clearly states that you have to rearrange the desktop widgets once23:22
merlin1991regarding zoom level, we took that functionality out, it can? not happen23:23
ketil_kThe problem was that I was not able to do the rearrangements23:23
ketil_kMaybe zoom was wrong23:23
merlin1991did the desktop stay in the middle like zoomed out?23:23
merlin1991with black space around it?23:23
ketil_kYes with black space23:23
ketil_kThe part of the top bar that could start applications was not reachable23:24
merlin1991if it wawsw like http://cdnm.at/~christian/maemo/cssu/Screenshot-20130609-230706.png23:24
ketil_kI restored my backup and try again now23:24
merlin1991then you could reach it only the zone to press is the original one23:24
merlin1991a simple reboot fixed it for me when that happened23:24
ketil_kNo it wasn't like that. Everything was stacked on top of each other so I could do nothing23:25
merlin1991the stacked thing is a nother story :)23:25
merlin1991I'm just talking about the zoom23:25
merlin1991so in other words a reboot + rearranging of your icons after that should have fixed everything23:26
ketil_kI hope it works better this time.23:26
*** MohammadAG has joined #maemo-ssu23:26
merlin1991o_O Mag is in23:26
merlin1991hey there MohammadAG :)23:27
ketil_kI could not open any terminals and even though I managed to connect to the network I didn't get any ssh-connection so I couldn't do anything at all from any user interface. Anyway, if it works this time then it was probably a broken install.23:28
merlin1991nah it's rather a hiccup in the graphics driver / hildon-desktop, it happens once upon a time23:29
merlin1991did for me about a week ago23:29
*** NIN101 has quit IRC23:40
ketil_kThis time the device is normal. I now understand that I installed too much too soon the last time.23:41
