diejuseDemo with Blackberry Keyone https://youtu.be/1gHT4MTAo0g00:43
Wizzuphow do people make the tar that you have on dropbox?00:46
Wizzupcan we put that on github or something?00:46
Wizzupbanger music again :D00:46
diejuseI tried to upload on github but small limit00:48
Wizzupthere's a lot of things missing that could be nice to have at some point00:48
Wizzupa lot of the conversations stuff, chat stuff, built in browser, notifications, maemo translate, gps maps, email, etc00:49
diejuseno problems with dropbos, downloading with wget without problems00:49
diejuseI have created a first basic image that does not cause problems on Android.00:49
Wizzupyes, but it would be good to have a way to go from a leste image to where you got so that others can reproduce it :)00:49
Wizzupyes, that's great :D00:50
Wizzupvery cool though00:50
diejuseFor example app manager does not work. You can see the applications in the repository but you can only download them from the terminal with "apt install"00:50
diejuseHowever, you can install debian apps with synaptic.00:51
diejuseyes, but it would be good to have a way to go from a leste image to where you got so that others can reproduce it :)  => I will continue investigating but... it is wonderful that thousands (millions) of Android users can now use a minimum of Maemo Leste, right?00:52
diejuseMy dream of anyone going to a store, buying their Android phone (cheap or expensive) and without rooting being able to have a minimum of Maemo Leste in 15 minutes... has been fulfilled! hehe00:54
Wizzupsorry, timed out01:17
diejuseso tomorrow more and better :p01:20
Wizzupgreat01:20
WizzupI think from my perspective, what would be really great is reproducability01:20
Wizzuplike, how to go from maemo image to proot tar01:20
Wizzupbecause then we could even automate it01:20
diejuseIt would be good but keep in mind that proot has quite a few limits and you have to do a lot of workarounds or transform several things about Maemo Leste.01:21
Wizzupmhm01:22
diejuseExample: "app manager" from Maemo. Dummy networks doesn't work. Other app managers like Synaptic do work. The only solution is for maemo's "app manager" to have less complexity and be a simple graphical "apt install".01:23
diejuseI couldn't get OMP to work either. I will investigate but I think the problem is that the way it works is not compatible with using proot.01:25
diejuseI don't know if you have a phone with Android 8 or higher but I would like you to try it, if you have time.01:26
WizzupI think it likely has to do with perhaps not running run-parts on xsession01:27
Wizzup(OMP)01:34
Wizzupsicelo: I think maybe what happens is that pcsuite is only entered when you click the pc suite button01:44
WizzupI would suggest we always go for pcsuite for now01:44
Wizzupfor example is touchscreen doesn't work01:45
Wizzupfor example if*01:53
Wizzup(agreed)?01:55
Wizzupalso I did check that this is indeed the case btw, if I click 'pc suite' I do get usb net, but normally I don't01:56
Wizzupthis is annoying when mz617 ts doesn't work on boot01:56
Wizzup(having to get a serial out every time is a pain)01:56
arno11diejuse: awesome work man, able to run maemo proot pretty well on a redmi note 12 (android 14)13:23
diejuse@arno11 Great! Thanks for letting me know. If you can, share an image.14:00
arno11diejuse: https://pasteboard.co/Y0Z99HEsULUh.png15:37
arno11https://pasteboard.co/H9MqwqRaSAeA.png15:40
arno11indeed, the proot leste img is a bit light/basic for the moment but it should be not too complicated to add lot of stuff imo :)15:42
arno11that's really funny/amazing to run leste on android 1415:45
diejusearno11 cool, Yes, I tried to make it as basic as possible so that it was light in megabytes and so that everyone could install what they want :)15:45
diejuseYes, it is!15:45
sicelowhere are the instructions btw? :-)15:46
diejuseIt is also amazing to install it on phones as closed (impossible to root) as the blackberry key15:46
sicelodon't know if my poor Samsunga A03s can manage it.15:46
siceloor even S715:46
arno11https://github.com/diejuse/proot_MaemoLeste_on_Android15:46
diejuseOnly neeed Android 8 or more15:46
Wizzupsicelo: what do you think about my ke-recv comments15:47
diejusesicelo It will work on both. They are more powerful phones than my old Blackberry Key1.15:48
siceloWizzup: i'll look. last few days i've been stuck on some other RL stuff15:49
Wizzupit's just re: usbnet15:49
Wizzupit does work, but it works only if you press 'pc suite' button15:50
Wizzupbut in case you have no touchscreen or something, you can't do that ,and it's useless15:50
Wizzupso I'm thinking we should enter usbnet mode by default15:50
siceloi *think* it was working without touching on my N900 ... the TS is broken on that N90015:54
sicelobut sure, I don't see a problem with doing usbnet by default. it makes perfect sense, especially for alpha/beta where we are :-)15:55
WizzupI think we used to automatically load it through some init script15:56
Wizzupok cool15:56
arno11Wizzup: sicelo: i think it should be useful to add diejuse chroot/proot stuff in Leste wiki or just a gh link (ofc if diejuse is ok with that)15:59
WizzupI mean, yes, but it would be nice if it was reproducible and people could make their own build(s), so they know how it works16:00
Wizzupand yes, feel free to add it to the wiki16:00
arno11ok cool, and yes the challenge is to make it reproducible indeed16:02
diejuseWizzup Ok for me.  sicelo let me know when it's added16:37
diejuseI meant @arno1116:53
sicelodiejuse: you can add it yourself17:00
diejusesicelo Good but let @arno11 add it since he offered to do it.17:03
Wizzupwell that ke-recv change didn't work17:44
Wizzupmz617 does complain it doesn't have configfs on 6.6, but it still works it seems17:44
