norayrand nothing connects since i change the mac.13:33
Wizzupnothing connects = ?13:41
norayrno wifi network connects when i use macchanger.13:44
norayricd doesn't connect to wifi networks anymore.13:44
norayri think it remembers the mac and when it is changed, it freaks out?13:45
norayrlet me try again.13:45
norayrwell, right now macchanger -a or -r wlan0 returns13:47
norayr[ERROR] Could not change MAC: interface up or insufficient permissions: Device or resoure busy.13:47
norayrwith root13:47
norayraha, i disconnected wifi, went to offline mode, and macchanger worked13:49
norayrbut now icd doesn't connect to the known wifi.13:50
norayrnow i need to reboot to be able to use wifi again. :/13:52
norayrplease try to repeat it.13:53
Wizzupmaybe file a bug13:56
Wizzupwhat happens if you restart icd2?13:56
norayroh, how to do that?13:57
norayris the script in /etc/init.d ?13:57
Wizzupsudo service icd2 restart13:57

Wizzupnorayr: I assume ifname does not get changed14:34
maxwelldso no only reboot helped.14:35
maxwelldlet me try14:35
asinnerm3Hi, am trying to run maemo-leste on Virtual Box but apparently am here because am unable to figure out how to run it, I downloaded the latest maemo-chimaera.vdi tried to create the VB but it is asking me for the iso, so apparently am doing something wrong in the creation, am on VB 7 on windows 1018:14
buZzasinnerm3: maybe remove the cdrom drive from your VM?18:26
buZzi'll try aswell, with maemo-leste-1.0-amd64-20230423.vdi.xz18:27
asinnerm3I chose to boot from other, I will retry and create the VB am doing something wrong but am unable to figure out what18:28
buZzboots for me18:31
buZzdid you unpack the .xz file?18:32
buZzshould unpack into a 3GB file18:32
buZzhttps://i.imgur.com/T260TUa.png18:33
sixwheeledbeastsounds like a vbox issue.18:33
buZzi used https://i.imgur.com/ggFZJDO.png18:33
buZzhttps://i.imgur.com/MbhADVr.png18:33
buZzand i removed the IDE controller / cddrive completely18:33
sixwheeledbeastfor vdi files, I would usually create a new VM > Linux > Other. Then use existing virtual disk file and select the vdi.18:35
buZzhmhm, i used 'debian 11 64bit' , anything should work i guess18:36
asinnerm3on wiki it says debian 64 but i will retry and create18:37
sixwheeledbeastIt's flexible in this case obviously Win or Mac will not work.18:39
asinnerm3it worked finally18:45
asinnerm3https://imgur.com/a/0v7eP4T18:47
asinnerm3this time i chose linux other 64 as @sixwheeledbeast suggested and following @buZz setting screenshot18:49
buZzw00t18:50
buZzmameo :D18:50
buZzhehe18:50
asinnerm3https://imgur.com/a/Hx2dYU718:52
asinnerm3now it is stuck on here18:53
asinnerm3oh wait i named it mameo? lol type and let go lol18:53
asinnerm3and now am getting a VB exeption error and it is not starting18:57
buZzmaybe read the error? :)19:00
asinnerm3i think vb 7 is still bugged on win10? had to restart the vm and it booted again, but still maemo is not loading and getting stuck at "waiting for /dev to be fully populated19:03
buZzwhat if you wait for 5 minutes on that msg?19:04
asinnerm3am gonna wait and see19:05
asinnerm3on here https://imgur.com/a/Hx2dYU719:06
asinnerm3apparently it is stuck at this stage19:14
asinnerm3either windows version is buggy, or some setting needs to be changed, might try that either on mac or linux19:14
buZzbizar, havent seen that19:17
asinnerm3worked now, i unchecked the 3d acceleration as i did enable it when i created the VM19:22
asinner-m3my god how i missed this DE19:31
Wizzup:)19:36
Wizzupasinner-m3: did you attend CORS/CLUC?19:36
WizzupDORS/CLUC*19:36
asinner-m3Wizzup no I wish i can19:40
Wizzupah, check :)19:40
asinner-m3between how do you see the mouse cursor so you one don't guess where to click19:41
WizzupI think this should just work, depending on what input device is seen in virtualbox19:43
WizzupbuZz: do you use virtualbox?19:44
buZzno, only tried it now19:44
buZzto confirm 'it works' for asinner-m319:44
buZzi dont know how to press the powerbutton for instance :D19:44
Wizzupdo you seen a mouse cursor?19:45
buZzi did not19:46
buZzbut no idea if thats a mistake on my config, or something i could/should change on the VM image19:46
asinner-m3guess i should check the settings again, and i have an idea if i got a lte extension and plugged it in the pc and inserted my sim card in it will it work?19:46
asinner-m3acpi shutdown for screen unlock19:47
asinner-m3under machine tab19:47
buZzah :)19:47
buZzasinner-m3: i dont think it will work to just pass a usb modem to maemo vm, it needs quite some specifics to work19:48
sicelopower button - the hypervisor should provide that ...19:48
asinner-m3have not yet checked the mouse settings19:48
buZzbut, it might, who knows19:48
asinner-m3once update is done am gonna change the mouse pointer settings to something else and see if it change for mouse cursor view19:50
Wizzupasinner-m3: basically if the VM sees a touch screen or absolute input device, it does not show the cursor19:51
Wizzupif it sees a mouse or relative input device, it will show the cursor19:51
sixwheeledbeastas default there is no mouse from when i tested it. Not sure if there is an option for that19:54
sixwheeledbeastthe screen also blanks and locks which is awkward if you don't realise what's happening.19:55
siceloin mine, it shows a message when screen is blanked19:59
siceloand i have a mouse pointer ... in qemu invocation, i have `-usb -device usb-tablet`20:00
asinner-m3i had the mouse captured in the vm for it to show within the VM, granted once in the vm you cannot drag it outside the window20:00
sicelothat's a hypervisor issue, i think ...20:01
asinner-m3was thinking to change the mouse setting and see what change20:01
siceloin fact I qemu, it doesn't even need to grab20:01
asinner-m3yeah might be my mouse setting option within the vm, will shutdown and change it20:02
asinner-m3changing the settings did change the need t grab the mouse for it to show within the vb so far20:07
Wizzupsicelo: I think that depends on the qemu frontend you use20:08
Wizzupif you use vnc then you will not see the pointer I think, but qemu-gtk you will20:08
Wizzupsomething weird like that20:08
Wizzupas in, you see the host pointer, not the guest one20:08
Wizzupbut that's just a guess20:08
Wizzupin any case when we figure it out we ought to update the wiki page20:08
asinner-m3still trying to find different settings, maybe it is the VBOX thing or the fact that am actually using the built in touchpad? i will try to insert a usb mouse and play with the settings20:13
asinner-m3found a small trick, if you use the scroll wheel within the virtual box the cursor will flash for a sec to know where you are about20:19
asinner-m3if you don't wanna use the grab mouse option20:19
siceloin some cases  the hypervisor may need you to install some stuff in the guest for certain features to work, e.g. to remove need to grab mouse20:19
Wizzupcan you run 'xinnput list'20:19
Wizzup'xinput list'20:19
asinner-m3sure20:19
asinner-m3guess am gonna need to install the xinput20:21
Wizzupyes20:23
asinner-m3https://imgur.com/a/RTDYonc20:24
Wizzuphmm, so maybe you have two mice?20:26
Wizzupwhat if you do xinput disable 920:26
Wizzup(you can undo that with xinput enable 9)20:26
asinner-m3sure will try, i guess now it sees my laptop trackpad and my wireless mouse20:28
sicelolooks interesting, https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker/issues/3620:30
siceloi wonder who's Leon20:31
Wizzupcool20:31
asinner-m3Wizzup: https://imgur.com/a/pXL4NpI20:32
Wizzupasinner-m3: do you see the cursor now?20:33
asinner-m3Wizzup: i confirm i see it20:33
asinner-m3and can interact20:33
Wizzupso did it solve your problem?20:33
asinner-m3yes20:33
asinner-m3wait no20:34
asinner-m3i cannot interact, the mouse show but no longer can click20:34
asinner-m3well it is interacting but not clicking20:35
asinner-m3if i click on the main desktop the setting option appear but i cannot left click anything so far20:36
Wizzupah, ok20:37
Wizzupcan you enable it and disable the other one?20:37
asinner-m3what is the keyboard shortcut to start the terminal20:38
asinner-m3nevermind i grabbed the mouse to enable 920:41
asinner-m3what was the other?20:41
Wizzup11 I think20:42
asinner-m3yeah i disabled it20:43
asinner-m3but i lost the mouse within the VM even grabbed20:43
Wizzupok20:44
Wizzuphmm20:44
asinner-m3enabled it20:44
asinner-m3in the VM settings am using the PS2 mouse option20:44
Wizzupwhat other options are there for the vm settings?20:44
asinner-m3let me check20:46
asinner-m3usb tablet, usb multi-touch tablet, usb MT touchscreen and touchpad20:49
asinner-m3ps/2 mouse obviously20:49
asinner-m3wouldn't it make sense to use the touchscreen touchpad option in this case20:53
asinner-m3well i chose the usb mt touchscreen and touchpad same need to capture the mouse to work20:55
sicelolibicd-network-dummy still has the issue where you need to do some extra work for it to show up in connection dialog?20:55
asinner-m3am wondering if i added a filter in the usb option for the mouth would that make any difference!!!20:56
siceloyou could try :-)20:57
siceloor, you could use FOSS hypervisor - qemu20:57
asinner-m3sicelo: I never tried qemu, will look into it20:58
siceloi think there's nowadays libvirt and a lot of front-ends for it. should be even easier20:58
asinner-m3add the mouse to the filter, the system show that it see it but the system (maemo) did not recognize it as if it was disabled21:05
asinner-m3working with trackpad since even windows now does not recognized because that usb port is used by the VB filter21:06
asinner-m3interestingly mouse wheel works but xinput now show it as keyboard and mouse and i blame the receiver since this is a wireless mouse21:11
Wizzupare you saying that just the touchpad (with wireles not plugged in) does work?21:15
asinner-m3not within the VB client21:32
asinner-m3same as if the USB is not there, I plugged a usb mouse now to see if anything changes but no, once i add the filter maemo seems to be confused what it is!!! so scrolling work but the mouse pointer does not move21:34
asinner-m3so far i could not find a way to make it work within and outside the vb simultaneously it is either grabbed or wont show the cursor, but do work (hidden) when not grabbed21:46
asinner-m3thank you all for all the help to get me started with maemo-leste with VB, cheers for now21:47
