| Madda | Hi, I saw in your news posts that someone had got Maemo Leste working on a Gemini PDA. Are there any instructions anywhere for how to do that? (approx skill level in this area was enough to get SailfishOS installed on it) | 12:25 |
|---|---|---|
| gnarface | Madda: stick around, slow channel, check the links in /topic | 12:33 |
| Wizzup | I think someone had maemo leste running with some other kernel and libhybris, iirc, but this was I think 3 years ago | 12:53 |
| Wizzup | I might be conflating this with the fxtec 1 proof of concept that someone did | 12:55 |
| Wizzup | https://github.com/NotKit/maemo-leste-fxtec-pro1-debos | 12:55 |
| Wizzup | in any case the same person got some form of maemo leste running on the gemini, so he might still be able to help | 12:55 |
| Madda | gnarface: That's OK, I'm used to slow channels- been on IRC long enough to know not to join, ask, wait 20 minutes, then leave, ne'er to return. | 12:56 |
| * Madda smiles | 12:56 | |
| Madda | Wizzup: Thanks, I'll take a look! | 12:56 |
| sicelo | if you have Telegram, i can give you a room you'll find them quickly | 12:58 |
| Wizzup | but in general if you can get debian running on it, you can make maemo leste run on it I'd say | 13:01 |
| Gary__ | nice and these Gemini's have 4g! https://neilzone.co.uk/2021/06/gemini-pda-running-debian-a-properly-portable-computer/ | 15:36 |
| Madda | sicelo: I don't use telegram, I'm afraid. | 16:13 |
| Madda | However, running Debian on it is fully supported so yeah, I realised I'd overlooked that and it might actually be easier to get started than I thought. I'll have to set aside some time to explore. | 16:14 |
| Madda | Gary: Yeah, it's relatively nice with Sailfish on it. Not entirely great (and Jolla seem to be dying/dead so I'm eyeing alternatives) in some ways (the phone always seems to pick the wrong microphone for some reason), but the keyboard is reasonable. | 16:15 |
| Madda | Also, I kinda want something that will accept debs again- IIRC, Jolla uses rpms. | 16:15 |
| Madda | s/Jolla/Sailfish/ | 16:15 |
| Gary__ | Madda: hope you can get it going. In comparison the gemini keyboard looks to have way more functions that say the pinephone keyboard. | 16:22 |
