maemish_Used balena etcher now to flash the image. Got a better picture of the last texts before it boots up again.00:04
buZzthose pulseaudio messages are just warnings00:05
buZzother than that nothing wrong that i see00:05
arno11yes indeed00:05
arno11if the device is rebooting. probably OOM00:06
buZzpretty likely, not sure if the n900 image has zramswap enabled by default? it should, i guess00:07
arno11not in latest images iirc00:08
buZzi havent tried flashing a fresh n900 in a while , i can try eh, monday perhaps00:08
dsc_maemish_: FYI balena etcher usually does not work for me00:09
dsc_(for maemo leste)00:09
buZzis there any reason to use etcher instead of dd?00:10
maemish_sudo dd if=maemo-leste-1.0-armhf-n900-20230521.img of=/dev/sdb bs=1M conv=fsync00:38
maemish_Is this correct?00:38
sixwheeledbeastassuming a lot. I have been using 1k and status=progress00:53
maemish_Here the "dd the image to an sdcard" could be a link to the wiki guide https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Sm6D4Dov/IMG_20230527_015559.jpg00:57
maemish_https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/etK0cvFb/IMG_20230527_015622.jpg00:58
maemish_Still no luck with dd00:58
maemish_You mean changing bs=1M to bs=1k00:59
maemish_So because I normally never use dd I always when I want to install Leste forget how the dd works. So I search "dd image linux" and then I get different guides with different options. If the one at the wikipage is correct the N900 page could have that guide linked. But even that didn't work.01:03
sixwheeledbeastthat isn't the same command you posted, bs is unlikely an issue is how much it writes in one go.01:03
sixwheeledbeastThe is uncompressing with xzcat and then I assume dd is reading the pipe for if=01:04
maemish_I used the one from wiki after I tried with the one I posted. Neither worked and N900 boots again before launch.01:04
maemish_Trying now the previous chimaera image01:14
sixwheeledbeastis if and of correct01:19
maemish_Can you give then here what you use?01:21
sixwheeledbeastthey will vary based on the system01:22
maemish_Could not get the previous chimaera either01:22
maemish_to boot to desktop01:23
sixwheeledbeastwho knows what /dev/sdb is01:23
maemish_My sdcard01:26
maemish_To which it dd and then starts to boot up the leste on n900 but it stops where I have shown with pictures above01:27
maemish_By the way pawnexpress for N900 has an app for overclocking with a slider. Seems nice.01:44
dsc_interesting, I again have this touchscreen issue02:34
dsc_oh, touchscreen starts working when I disconnect micro-USB charger o_002:36
dsc_this charger is haunted!02:37
hexagonwinHi, it seems like the Motorola Droid (Milestone) appears to have very similar specifications to the N900 including the SoC and the RAM, did anybody have success with Linux on this phone?07:48
boshtannikI have logged in from my pc onto sd card08:14
boshtannikwith using chroot08:14
boshtannikby this hint08:25
boshtannikhttps://askubuntu.com/questions/1006846/chroot-onto-arm-based-image08:25
boshtannikand this one08:25
boshtannikhttp://n900.elektranox.org/installation.html08:26
boshtanniknow my n900 is not under deadly load anymore, while doing compilation08:29
boshtannikNow, that's the build power08:35
boshtannikhttps://imgur.com/a/F7VYeby08:35
boshtannikNo segfaults either08:37
boshtannikthat, what was taking me about half of hour, took me 5 seconds to compile08:44
boshtannik(sdl hidapi then and now)08:46
arno11hmm latest n900 images are buggy. i'm able to reproduce maemish issues. it is an OOM issue10:08
arno11swap is disable even if boot log says enable10:09
arno11on the first boot too much things are loading at the same time without swap10:09
arno11the trick is to let the n900 rebooting during the first load, then reboot and let things loading for several minutes (without touching the screen).10:12
arno11and then it works10:12
arno11and it is possible to extand sd and create swap...so not really user friendly lol10:13
arno11Wizzup: it seems latest n900 images are not really usable10:22
maemish_Thanks for reproducing and confirming.12:07
dsc_sicelo: have you ever had the d4 touchscreen not working if it is connected to usb charging?14:22
siceloyes, many times14:23
siceloit's due to static introduced by the charger (probably cheap charger?) ... so the capacitive ts gets confused. i've experienced it on other phones too14:25
dsc_i see14:26
Wizzup_arno11: ok, we'll investigate14:57
freemangordonWizzup_: I have one successful test using sparql :)18:21
Wizzup_great :)18:24
ireallydunnoHello everyone, is there a way to mute speaker on N900 when a headphone is plugged in?20:53
arno11yes run 'alsamixer -c 0' and set speaker off with btm arrow21:02
arno11(use alsamixer in fullscreen to see settings)21:08
ireallydunnoThanks, perfect21:08
arno11:)21:10
buZzdoesnt n900 have a detector in the plug?21:25
sixwheeledbeastdetector?22:07
arno11buZz: yes there is but we don't have ucm to manage plug/unplug properly22:24
buZzah ok22:32
buZzsixwheeledbeast: a little switch on the back side of headphone shorts a connection to GND i think22:32
buZzsoundcards often can detect it to route audio22:32
sixwheeledbeastN900 is OMTP. I believe it should detect headphones with Mic/GND short and headset with mic resistance.22:35
sixwheeledbeastI suppose it has to detect AV cable somehow too.22:37
buZzoh indeed, that was automagic22:37
buZz:)22:37
ireallydunnooh, it can be detected by evtest23:27
