diejuseWizzup Yes, I can symlink /sys but its files are not readable (permission denied)10:13
Wizzupdiejuse: all of them?10:20
diejuseWizzup Yes, the whole folder.12:15
diejuseThe proc directory does have a little better access. But it's still quite limited.12:15
diejuseThis does not happen when using the chroot technique where I can access things such as battery level, volume control and downloading applications through the app manager application. With proot I can't do such things (well I do think it can be achieved through some adaptations).12:15
diejuseBut now I'm focused on proot because I find it much more interesting for most people to know Maemo Leste. The last thing I just did is create an icon with the Maemo logo in the Android launcher so I can start it quickly and easily.12:17
Wizzupnice12:21

Wizzupso how do people install this?12:26
diejuseEverything will be documented. Patience. :P12:42
diejuseThey have to install some Android applications first. Exactly Nova Launcher (if you want to see the pretty icon), Termux, Termux-X11, Termux:widgets12:45
diejuseI just made a demo video from work (sorry for the poor quality)12:59

Wizzupvery cool13:10
diejuseI also want to try a fake-boot. It boots the phone directly into the Maemo proot. And I also want to try other fakes, for example a fake camera. A camera icon from Maemo that opens the Android camera. Hehe13:27
inkydiejuse, so root is necessary?16:26
inkyheh, glad to see 3 packages packaged by me in your menu.16:31
inkybut i wonder how maemo and devuan packages are shown together in one screen, not in separate menus.16:31
Wizzupprobably some postinst never runs16:44
freemangordonGuys, could someone confirm that if initial pin entry on *fremantle* is skipped, and later one tries to open Phone applet in settings, no more pin entry is shown but there is "cellular network not available" message17:36
freemangordonsicelo: Wizzup: ^^^17:36
siceloi'll test in a bit ... hoping for no distrations17:38
freemangordonthanks17:40
sicelofreemangordon: exactly as you described17:55
freemangordonthe fuck?17:59
freemangordonso it seems half of the code in phone applet has never worked17:59
freemangordonok, will have to define what we want in such case then17:59
diejuseinky Works without root. Proot is a pseudo root, a root inside a countainer18:24
diejuseCool. What 3 packages are?18:25
arno11freemangordon: what you discribed with PIN was still working few weeks ago for sure19:00
Wizzupwell he said fremantle19:00
arno11oops19:01
arno11apologies :P19:01
arno11on Leste it could be useful to have offline/online mode switch working properly19:07
arno11i mean, switching to offline works but never goes back to online19:08
Wizzuphm, it works for me, I think19:09
arno11on d4 or n900 or both ?19:09
Wizzupnot sure about n90019:14
arno11ok19:14
siceloarno11: i think there's a bug in the ofono driver for N90019:14
arno11ah, you mean for offline/online ?19:15
siceloi've noticed that going offline can confuse the modem so bad that it never recovers properly again. until you restart ofono19:15
siceloi suspect the gpio's aren't toggled correctly for going offline, but when ofono tears down the modem (ofono restart), it does the correct thing19:17
sicelomight be an easy fix if one compares the two sequences19:17
arno11yes indeed, restarting ofono works (most of the time)19:17
arno11ah ok19:17
diejuseMy main request is... I want a new virtual keyboard (with arrow keys and other customizable ones)! where you can write and edit directly in the app. For example, when I open a script with nano I cannot edit it with the current virtual keyboard! Have you tried it without using the physical keyboard?19:46
sicelouvos might be able to suggest something to you19:47
sicelobut yes, that's a well-known limitation. by the way, depending on how much space there is, you can add other keys to the bottom bar of the xterminal application19:48
siceloso you could add arrows there.19:49
diejuseIt's frustrating. I open osso-xterm, nano doc.sh... and I can't edit the second line for example.19:50
diejuseThe arrow keys would be useful if you could edit directly without entering text in the keyboard's text box. Right now it forces me to make the Android keyboard appear to edit.19:51
Gary_offline/online works fine on the pinetime...in fact I tend to have to recycle the modem for ofono and works using this method19:57
inky> Cool. What 3 packages are?20:14
inkymstardict, maefat, msid. (:20:14
inky> on Leste it could be useful to have offline/online mode switch working properly20:15
inkythere was tablet mode applet on fremantle. i looked to the code and i am afraid it won't work on leste, otherwise i would port it. i think it uses nokia dbus messages, not sure already.20:15
inkybut i really need tablet mode applet.20:15
inky> It's frustrating. I open osso-xterm, nano doc.sh... and I can't edit the second line for example.20:16
inkyyes we need an improvement of keyboard. i think since d4 is the main device only screen devices don't get such focus.20:16
inkypinephone also is very hard to use with leste.20:16
siceloinky: tablet applet should work20:17
inkyi'll try to port/package it then.20:20
diejuseinky I'm glad we agree about the virtual keyboard. Develop a new one for me in a few days please. :P20:21
inkyyeah i suggested one improvement but we discussed it and uvos doesn't want it. maybe i should try to add it and make a pull request.20:24
inkyI think my suggestion was to use XChangeKeyboardMapping() function.20:24
inkyi did some changes in svkbd which is suckless keyboard and it is used in sxmo (minimalist mobile linux environment) but also can be used in any environment.20:24
inkytheir keyboards are great and have all the necessary things.20:24
inkyarrows, ctrl, escape, everything.20:25
inkyi also patched it several times.20:25
inkyso get svkbd and use it and kill somehow maemo keyboard - that's what i can suggest.20:25
uvosi agree with killing him - its terrible, but you do need to integrate whatever you want to replace it with with h-d20:30
uvoswhich isent so easy20:30
uvossince any non-terrible keyboard would have to do direct input instead of line buffering, but that would require h-d to do some smart panning/ resizeing of the target windows20:31
uvoslike android dose, for instance20:31
diejuseinky mmm, svkbd sounds interesting.  Can I do apt-get and that's it?21:57
diejuse@uvos @inky My opinion is that it would be nice to have more than one keyboard to be able to use the one a user wants. You don't need to kill any of them. But I do think it's something to do preferentially.22:02
dsc_uvos: fyi some updates to jib22:41
