| freemangordon | hmm, I will have a look at that | 08:52 |
|---|---|---|
| recyclehero | hi anybody has latest pr pr1.3.1, I want to factory reset my phone and then move to the leste on sdcard | 10:38 |
| Wizzup | I think there is no pr 1.3 image, you need to flash an older one and then do incremental upgrades | 10:40 |
| Wizzup | maybe try https://leste.maemo.org/Nokia_N900#Quick first | 10:40 |
| Wizzup | and just don't do the permanent flash | 10:40 |
| recyclehero | great I will try it with a >32gb sdcard now | 11:00 |
| recyclehero | guys i though I would get leste alongside the fremantle when follwing https://leste.maemo.org/Nokia_N900#Quick. it seems I cant not use fremantle when I do sudo ./0xFFFF -m test/u-boot-2013.04-2.bin -f | 11:33 |
| recyclehero | I am okay with that but I just want to know can I easily use the fm trasnmitter as this is the main resaon I bought this device | 11:34 |
| recyclehero | 2nd questions: are your uboots also this dim? I have to turn on a flashlight to see the texts! | 11:34 |
| buZz | recyclehero: you dont have to do that step | 11:39 |
| buZz | and i believe FM transmitter isnt working yet in leste, but could be wrong | 11:40 |
| recyclehero | so everytime I want leste I should boot from 0xffff | 11:40 |
| recyclehero | ? | 11:40 |
| arno11 | FM transmit works | 11:40 |
| buZz | recyclehero: or read the page? > If you have a functional Fremantle installation, you can follow these steps instead: | 11:40 |
| buZz | arno11: ah! cool | 11:40 |
| arno11 | just it is disable | 11:40 |
| arno11 | in kernerl config | 11:41 |
| arno11 | *kernel | 11:41 |
| arno11 | i forgot to ask Wizzup and fmg if they'd like to activate it again | 11:43 |
| arno11 | recyclehero: it is easier to use the "existing Fremantle" process to enjoy Leste :) | 11:46 |
| recyclehero | arno11: I see you have some sort of daily/weekly jenkins builds, it meen you can recompile the kernel and also is there any UI for transmitiing songs like fremantle? | 11:46 |
| recyclehero | yeah but it didnt say how to install U-Boot with kernel 2.6.28-omap1 | 11:46 |
| buZz | i think thats in fremantle | 11:47 |
| arno11 | for the moment there is no gui to transmit sound unfortunately | 11:47 |
| arno11 | yes uboot must be installed from fremantle | 11:48 |
| recyclehero | arno11: I will figure out something in cmd | 11:48 |
| recyclehero | arno11: since I didnt installed anything on that whats the process? internet and then apt-get install x? | 11:48 |
| recyclehero | is the repositories even working for meamo5?! | 11:49 |
| arno11 | what PR version you have on fremantle ? | 11:50 |
| recyclehero | about phone: version: 10.2010.19-1.003 | 11:53 |
| recyclehero | I just bought it and dont know what PR it corresponds to | 11:54 |
| arno11 | ok i understand | 11:54 |
| arno11 | there is a starter guide on maemo.org iirc | 11:55 |
| arno11 | let me have a look | 11:55 |
| arno11 | i think it is N900 the perfect setup | 11:58 |
| arno11 | on maemo.org website | 11:58 |
| recyclehero | yeah I've seen it | 11:58 |
| recyclehero | the problem is all this working site(maemo.org) links are to not working links hosted on nokia.com | 12:02 |
| buZz | archive.org exists :P | 12:02 |
| recyclehero | they cant be retrieved by wayback machine | 12:02 |
| arno11 | ok i see | 12:02 |
| buZz | aw | 12:02 |
| arno11 | i don't remember where are working repositories | 12:02 |
| recyclehero | and I dont get it why this PR things matters and why they say flashing should be incremental | 12:03 |
| arno11 | that's long and complicated to explain | 12:04 |
| recyclehero | I would really appreciate if I could hear that from the guy who compiles the kernel | 12:05 |
| arno11 | so i see why you want to use the fist method | 12:06 |
| recyclehero | yes cause I still dont now how to install kernel x + uboot as mentioned. I even dont know how try if my PR is the latest one by chance. apt-get install [distro kernel] whats the name of this kernel package | 12:08 |
| arno11 | from fremantle you must use application manager to avoid mistakes | 12:12 |
| arno11 | and looks for kernel power | 12:13 |
| arno11 | and uboot | 12:13 |
| recyclehero | thanks as I'm not a gui person I didnt think of that. the simple way stupid me thanks arno11 | 12:14 |
| arno11 | i understand but to find the right files you need from your pr version (seems to be pr1.2 and very old) it is the best way | 12:17 |
| arno11 | and honestly i don't remember well this old process. | 12:19 |
| recyclehero | thanks I will try to boot with a temp uboot and see if i can bring leste on this 64fb sdcard | 12:22 |
| recyclehero | gb | 12:22 |
| arno11 | ok otherwise i think you need to flash pr1.3 directly | 12:23 |
| arno11 | found it on flagnet.net/downloads/telephone/n900/ | 12:24 |
| buZz | btw, there is still #maemo | 12:24 |
| buZz | with fremantle users | 12:24 |
| arno11 | yes definitly | 12:26 |
| recyclehero | I will use leste soon and btw this link wont work. should I use wayback | 12:27 |
| recyclehero | leste question: should xz images be decompressed and written to sdcard? | 12:32 |
| buZz | decompressed but you can do it in 1 step | 12:32 |
| buZz | xzcat maemo-leste-1.0-armhf-droid4-20190227.img.xz | sudo dd status=progress bs=1M of=/dev/MICROSDCARD-DEVICE | 12:32 |
| buZz | ^^^ | 12:33 |
| buZz | :) | 12:33 |
| recyclehero | I am using lineage android as the card reader and dont have xzcat | 12:33 |
| recyclehero | it will decompress to 32gbs? | 12:33 |
| buZz | likely to 2 or 4GB | 12:34 |
| buZz | highly doubt >4 | 12:34 |
| recyclehero | great thanks | 12:34 |
| buZz | you can decompress xz by hand too i guess | 12:35 |
| recyclehero | yeah I should do it on pc adb push then dd as there is no xz util on andorid but thats my problem | 12:36 |
| buZz | pc doesnt have a microsd card reader? | 12:36 |
| sicelo | recyclehero: fm transmitter is working. the instructions are in wiki ... look at the table, under fm transmitter | 12:37 |
| recyclehero | buZz: sony vgn-gw548f and my card reader is dead | 12:37 |
| recyclehero | sicelo: thanks | 12:37 |
| sicelo | arno11: um ... it got disabled now? | 12:37 |
| buZz | RIP | 12:37 |
| sicelo | recyclehero: if you're not going to be using Fremantle you don't really need to update it to any PR. uboot can be installed on what version of Fremantle you have | 12:39 |
| arno11 | sicelo: yes it is disable | 12:40 |
| sicelo | it was enabled in the past | 12:40 |
| arno11 | yes indeed | 12:40 |
| arno11 | and not anymore | 12:41 |
| recyclehero | arno11: please enable it. what was the decision process for disabling a kernel config of an exsiting hardware? | 12:41 |
| arno11 | i don't know i'm not a dev just a user | 12:43 |
| arno11 | i think it is not a decision just a mistake | 12:43 |
| sicelo | you could create an issue on github requesting that | 12:46 |
| arno11 | true lol | 12:47 |
| arno11 | Wizzup: sicelo: i found why there is the weird 15 sec bug for incoming calls | 12:50 |
| arno11 | cmtspeech is only looking for ofono AudioSetting states and there is nothing reporting "pick up/answering calls" | 12:51 |
| Wizzup | good find | 12:52 |
| arno11 | cmtspeech must look in ofono "VoiceCall" state | 12:52 |
| arno11 | yes :) | 12:52 |
| Wizzup | right, sphone has code for this that we could borrow perhaps | 12:53 |
| arno11 | cool | 12:53 |
| recyclehero | sicelo: which repo https://github.com/maemo-leste | 12:54 |
| arno11 | Wizzup: from what i understand i think only few lines added in cmtspeech should do the trick | 12:55 |
| Wizzup | ok, good | 12:57 |
| arno11 | i'll try and LYK | 12:58 |
| sicelo | and you say you're not a dev :-) | 12:59 |
| arno11 | :) that's just a hobby | 13:04 |
| recyclehero | I decompressed and dd the img to the sdcard but and select uboot from sdcard but I get "invalid partition 4" | 13:08 |
| sicelo | image has only two partitions | 13:10 |
| recyclehero | maemo-leste-1.0-armhf-n900-20230423.img | 13:11 |
| recyclehero | is this correct? | 13:11 |
| recyclehero | I am using the 2020 pali uboot | 13:11 |
| recyclehero | i saw somewhere that there is 32gb sdcard limitation | 13:18 |
| sicelo | no idea about such limitation | 13:26 |
| sicelo | did you burn image correctly? downloaded correctly? | 13:26 |
| sicelo | confirm checksums | 13:26 |
| recyclehero | I did the write I android ana accessed the sdcard from the andorid vold not the mmcblock. it wrote 2.4gb then now 2.9gb and I have leste and latest kernel on a 2009 device. :) my bad thanks | 13:32 |
| freemangordon | recyclehero: I have 2 n900 here, one with 64 the other with 128 GB uSD cards | 13:35 |
| Wizzup | freemangordon: btw, did you see pali's 0xffff updates? we could eventually maybe see if we can make some emmc flashable image using it | 14:28 |
| Wizzup | (not now, but it looked nice) | 14:28 |
| freemangordon | Wizzup: dunno, does it make sense? With no modern browser that's able to run on n900... | 19:58 |
| sicelo | i don't think lack of browser disqualifies it. i guess Leste is more than just a browser. | 20:23 |
| sicelo | of course, emmc images might not be worth the trouble due to other reasons | 20:25 |
| sicelo | they could be useful though in case someone's sd card reader is broken -- i have a device with that here | 20:25 |
