| arno11 | Wizzup: sicelo: it seems limits.conf can't do the trick. seems not possible to set very high nice or rt priority without sudo | 15:02 |
|---|---|---|
| arno11 | and seems limits.conf not working very well on most modern distros | 15:03 |
| arno11 | i tried to manually use my call stuff without sudo, it works but not as good as using sudo | 15:05 |
| arno11 | on the other hand, (with custom transitions+daemon.conf integrated) and just a basic bash script to run, calls are working well | 15:09 |
| Wizzup | you need to re-login if you change limits | 15:11 |
| Wizzup | fwiw | 15:11 |
| Wizzup | so sudo su - user | 15:12 |
| Wizzup | or reboot | 15:12 |
| Wizzup | not sure if this is the problem, just fyi | 15:12 |
| arno11 | i already tried | 15:14 |
| arno11 | and doublecheck in lot of other distro docs/forums | 15:15 |
| Wizzup | ok | 15:16 |
| Wizzup | i'm having lunch, but will look at the other prs today as well :) | 15:17 |
| arno11 | ok cool :) | 15:17 |
| Wizzup | sicelo: the iproute2 stuff, is that two PRs, or is there more | 22:10 |
| Wizzup | sicelo: and does it need to depend on iproute2 explicitly? | 22:10 |
| freemangordon | ugh https://github.com/community-ssu/qt-x11-maemo/commit/b235dac554f4b78060c62ff8eef6d6b92c5a7626 | 22:11 |
| Wizzup | freemangordon: sounds like you had a fun evening :D | 22:11 |
| freemangordon | yeah | 22:11 |
| Wizzup | uvos: I wonder if Pavel's mail about no ringtone is related to the alarm not working per your earlier report | 22:18 |
| arno11 | Wizzup: for few weeks, indeed, we have troubles with ringtones | 22:21 |
| arno11 | tweaking priorities solves 60-70% of the problem | 22:22 |
| arno11 | seems kind of wakeup issue | 22:22 |
| arno11 | seems not n900 or d4 specific | 22:23 |
| Wizzup | really? they work for me | 22:24 |
| Wizzup | so I think there's something else going on, I think uvos said it's not possible to set/change ringtone or something | 22:24 |
| arno11 | just have a look on Pavel email, i have exactly same symptoms on n900 | 22:25 |
| arno11 | and yes impossible to change ringtone | 22:25 |
| ac_laptop | hi, when booting maemo-leste the first time, is it normal to have no swap ? Is it normal if /etc/fstab contains only the /boot line ? | 22:25 |
| arno11 | ac_laptop: hi, is it on n900 ? | 22:27 |
| ac_laptop | arno11: yes, sorry I didn't specify | 22:27 |
| arno11 | ok it is supposed to be activated but if not you can easely activate it using sudo swapon /dev/mmcblk1p3 | 22:29 |
| arno11 | see leste.maemo.org/Nokia_N900 for more info | 22:29 |
| ac_laptop | arno11: I did, it worked, I'd like to know if I should add it to the /etc/fstab file | 22:30 |
| arno11 | iirc no | 22:30 |
| Wizzup | you can add it to /etc/fstab, the swap | 22:31 |
| arno11 | it should be done automatically | 22:31 |
| ac_laptop | ok I'll reboot and see | 22:31 |
| Wizzup | I thought I did this in leste-config but apparently not | 22:31 |
| Wizzup | ah yes: debian/leste-config-n900.postinst | 22:31 |
| Wizzup | if egrep -q 'swap' /etc/fstab; then # No need to change anything true; | 22:31 |
| Wizzup | else echo "/dev/mmcblk1p3 none swap defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab | 22:31 |
| Wizzup | fi | 22:31 |
| ac_laptop | I still haven't figured out how to reboot the N900 so that U-Boot gives me a boot menu at startup though | 22:38 |
| ac_laptop | I thought booting from USB was the key but it doesn't work anymore now | 22:38 |
| ac_laptop | it keeps booting on the eMMC | 22:38 |
| freemangordon | Wizzup: https://github.com/maemo-leste/qtstyleplugins/commit/c246f462f5496b1c2bd0ed99d9e4af69b46b2aad should fix lots of qt drawing artefacts (like in calucaltor buttons etc) | 22:39 |
| Wizzup | great | 22:42 |
| Wizzup | ac_laptop: you need the keyboard open | 22:42 |
| Wizzup | ac_laptop: literally just that | 22:42 |
| ac_laptop | Wizzup: thanks , it works ! | 22:43 |
| ac_laptop | is it unadvised to use commands such as reboot and halt ? | 22:50 |
| ac_laptop | I've just used halt and all I see is a TTY with Xorg error lines, not sure if the OS freezed or if it's taking its time rebooting | 22:51 |
| ac_laptop | ok it was just taking its time I guess | 22:51 |
| arno11 | ac_laptop: (it takes usually around 45 sec to shutdown) | 22:52 |
| freemangordon | ac_laptop: you can user reboot and poweroff | 22:54 |
| freemangordon | *use | 22:54 |
| freemangordon | also, if you manage to trace why reboot/poweroff takes so long, I will owe you a beer or whatever your favorite drink is | 22:55 |
| ac_laptop | freemangordon: does the N900 allow to access a TTY without killing Xorg ? | 22:58 |
| Wizzup | I think powervr isn't happy with it, but you can try chvt over ssh | 22:59 |
| freemangordon | it is not powervr, but xorg driver, but still | 22:59 |
| ac_laptop | oh also I need to know why U-Boot doesn't display Maemo-leste as a boot line and makes me go into the boot console and type sdboot | 23:00 |
| freemangordon | in theory it should work https://github.com/maemo-leste/xf86-video-omap/blob/master/src/omap_driver.c#L1044 | 23:00 |
| freemangordon | ac_laptop: I think you should rebuild u-boot scripts/config files/ whatever | 23:01 |
| freemangordon | don't remember the command though | 23:01 |
| * freemangordon checks | 23:01 | |
| Wizzup | I think it should just be picked up in the 2020 uboot | 23:01 |
| Wizzup | or maybe 2013 one :) | 23:02 |
| freemangordon | u-boot-update-bootmenu | 23:02 |
| ac_laptop | Wizzup: this is also something I don't understand, the U-Boot I have still displays 2013.04 | 23:03 |
| freemangordon | ac_laptop: iirc you have to boot into fremantle and execute it from there | 23:03 |
| freemangordon | Wizzup: does 'our' uboot have those scripts in the package? | 23:03 |
| Wizzup | yes, should | 23:04 |
| Wizzup | ac_laptop: maybe you didn't load the new one? | 23:04 |
| ac_laptop | freemangordon: fremantle is the name of the OEM Maemo, right ? | 23:04 |
| freemangordon | but yeah, it was long ago I played with it | 23:04 |
| freemangordon | yes | 23:04 |
| ac_laptop | # ./0xFFFF -m u-boot-2020.12-pali.bin -l | 23:06 |
| ac_laptop | Load image: | 23:06 |
| ac_laptop | File: u-boot-2020.12-pali.bin | 23:06 |
| ac_laptop | Image type: kernel | 23:06 |
| ac_laptop | Image size: 270592 bytes | 23:06 |
| ac_laptop | Sending image header... | 23:06 |
| ac_laptop | Sending image... | 23:06 |
| ac_laptop | 100% [#################################################################] | 23:06 |
| ac_laptop | Done | 23:06 |
| ac_laptop | that was the result of my flashing | 23:06 |
| ac_laptop | freemangordon: I just ran u-boot-update-bootmenu from freemantle, it didn't seem to change anything | 23:11 |
| Wizzup | I think you should be able to select 'boot from sd card' or something | 23:12 |
| Wizzup | ac_laptop: I'm too late to tell you this now, but if you flash it directly like that, there is (I think) a chance that you cannot boot to fremantle anymore, as I think that is normally where the attached kernel resides, but I might be wrong | 23:12 |
| freemangordon | did you add the appropriate entry in /etc/bootmenu.d ? | 23:12 |
| Wizzup | nothing that can't be fixed, but fyi (also I might be wrong :) ) | 23:12 |
| Wizzup | freemangordon: I am not sure if we have this documents on our wiki | 23:13 |
| freemangordon | Wizzup: yes, you are right | 23:13 |
| Wizzup | documented* | 23:13 |
| ac_laptop | freemangordon: no, I'll try :) | 23:13 |
| freemangordon | it is documented in u-boot | 23:13 |
| Wizzup | sure, but that's another place to search :) | 23:13 |
| freemangordon | https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=81613&highlight=u-boot | 23:13 |
| freemangordon | yeah | 23:13 |
| arno11 | ac_laptop: see https:leste.maemo.org/Nokia_N900 and look at 'Existing Fremantle' | 23:16 |
| arno11 | definitely the easiest way | 23:16 |
| ac_laptop | Wizzup: So you think the 2020.12 u-boot was flashed somewhere in the eMMC ? | 23:17 |
| arno11 | sorry https://leste.maemo.org/Nokia_N900 | 23:18 |
| sicelo | Wizzup: iproute2: it's one PR (just split into to two commits. they can be squashed if necessary), and yes, i think it is safe to add an explicit dependency on iproute2, otherwise it seems something else in the system already pulls it in | 23:24 |
| ac_laptop | should ${EXT_CARD} expand to /etc/mmcblk0 under freemantle ? | 23:28 |
| ac_laptop | asking for https://leste.maemo.org/Nokia_N900#Existing_Fremantle (i'm editing the file by hand) | 23:32 |
| Wizzup | ac_laptop: nand, yes | 23:37 |
| Wizzup | sicelo: ok, shall I make the debian/control change, or will you? | 23:37 |
| ac_laptop | Wizzup: well it doesn't | 23:42 |
| Pali | ac_laptop: "./0xFFFF -m u-boot-2020.12-pali.bin -l" this just loads image into volatile RAM, it does not flash image nor boot it; use -f for flashing or -b for booting from RAM | 23:42 |
| sicelo | Wizzup: may i ask you to? :-) | 23:43 |
| ac_laptop | Wizzup: you confirm I should replace ${EXT_CARD} with /dev/mmcblk0 in this case ? not just mmcblk0 ? | 23:44 |
| Wizzup | sicelo: ok, sure | 23:45 |
| Wizzup | ac_laptop: my reply was to 'did I flash it somewhere to eMMC', and I corrected it to yes, to nand, not emmc | 23:46 |
| Wizzup | I don't know about the expansion of ${EXT_CARD}, what is the context | 23:46 |
| ac_laptop | https://leste.maemo.org/Nokia_N900#Existing_Fremantle | 23:46 |
| ac_laptop | maybe it's a variable thats interpreted by u-boot | 23:47 |
| ac_laptop | I'll leave it | 23:47 |
| ac_laptop | It works ! | 23:48 |
| Wizzup | great | 23:51 |
| sicelo | what i wanted to look at some time is - it should be possible to run the u-boot scripts from inside leste, i.e. without needing to boot into fremantle | 23:56 |
| sicelo | i.e. u-boot-update-bootmenu | 23:57 |
| ac_laptop | Which type of microSD do you use to run leste ? I'm using a 32GB class-10 U-1 , I'll try to get my hands on a class-10 U-3 to see if it's better | 23:59 |
