| pirla | Hello everyone. Can I use regular debian repository, with maemo? | 01:36 |
| jonwil | No you can't use a regular debian repository with Maemo | 01:43 |
| pirla | Thanks | 01:43 |
| pirla | What about lxde? | 01:44 |
| pirla | Smalldebian or something like that | 01:44 |
| jonwil | Nope | 01:47 |
| jonwil | It has to be something built for Maemo | 01:47 |
| pirla | Sorry, i meant easydebian | 01:48 |
| valerius | pirla however, you can run Debian in chroot (including lxde) | 01:48 |
| valerius | yes, easydebian is an image with debian chroot installed | 01:49 |
| valerius | it seems, it was somewhere in maemo repositories | 01:49 |
| pirla | thx | 01:49 |
| pirla | Last question: i'm going to buy a Nokia n900, what's the latest available update? | 01:50 |
| pirla | Date and name | 01:50 |
| jonwil | Do you mean software update? | 01:51 |
| pirla | Yes | 01:51 |
| valerius | there was CSSU (Communitu update). Not sure about the date. Also, there is Maemo leste project. They're trying to integrate maemo desktop (hildon) on top of Devuan. Devuan is Debian fork without systemd. | 01:52 |
| valerius | So, it will be latest Linux kernel with usual Maemo user interface | 01:53 |
| pirla | What's systemd? | 01:53 |
| jonwil | Updating an N900 in 2018 isn't the easiest thing to do. Maemo Leste isn't usable yet so ignore that for now. | 01:54 |
| pirla | What's systemd? | 01:54 |
| Maxdamantus | ~systemd | 01:54 |
| infobot | systemd cabal: a bunch of people (Lennart Poettering, Kay Sievers, H. Hoyer, D. Mack, T. Gundersen, D. Herrmann) who want to turn linux into their wet dream perverted version of windows-me-too: http://0pointer.net/blog/revisiting-how-we-put-together-linux-systems.html -- Rumor has it that 2016 systemd will have replaced kernel. See ~nosystemd" | 01:54 |
| Maxdamantus | ~nosystemd | 01:54 |
| infobot | it has been said that nosystemd is https://devuan.org http://without-systemd.org/wiki/index.php/Arguments_against_systemd http://blog.darknedgy.net/technology/2015/10/11/0/ | 01:54 |
| pirla | Cool | 01:54 |
| jonwil | Once you actually have the N900, I am sure people on here can help you update to the latest software version. | 01:55 |
| pirla | Thanks guys, i'm leaving | 01:55 |
| valerius | systemd is such overbloated version of UNIX init process. 1) Too big for Nokia N900 2) N900 uses its own init, it seems, based on busybox | 01:55 |
| pirla | Hello everyone again. 2 questions: | 03:03 |
| pirla | 1 can i only use debian (no maemo)? | 03:04 |
| pirla | 2 does debian for maemo include phone/sms? | 03:04 |
| pirla | Target device is Nokia n900 | 03:05 |
| pirla | Or by the way, is it there any way to use eg gimp from maemo? | 03:09 |
| pirla | The latter would be preferred | 03:10 |
| pirla | A1? | 03:14 |
| pirla | ~gimp | 03:14 |
| infobot | methinks gimp is the scourge of the kompany, or an excellent image manipulation program. 2.0 is now stable and it has MANY, MANY improvements over the 1.x series. Pick it up NOW. *_GREAT_*! | 03:14 |
| pirla | ~blender | 03:15 |
| infobot | somebody said blender was Extremely fast and versatile 3D Rendering Package. URL: http://freshmeat.net/projects/blender/ | 03:15 |
| pirla | Nevermind, correct me if I'm wrong, but using debian | 03:20 |
| pirla | Sorry mistype | 03:20 |
| pirla | I mean, installing easydebian should allow regular apps to be launched without the desktop, right? | 03:21 |
| pirla | Nevermind. Found the answer: yes, but a .desktop file has to be written for each app | 03:33 |

| pirla | Can't wait to have my n900! | 03:34 |
