infobotwell, backupmenu is http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=63975, or one-click install handling dependency issues: http://maemo.cloud-7.de/maemo5/et_al/HAM-catalogs/BM.install17:58
untakenstupidniccould easy debian be used with images debian itself provides? the last image made for it is debian jessie and i don't know if it's repos would still work or not.18:15
pereuntakenstupidnic: there are two efforts going for n900 that I am aware of.  Meamo Leste, based on Maemo by updating to newer debian and replacing non-free stuff with free software, and postmarketos, which provide several interfaces for several models.18:16
pereI got an old n900 last week to play with, flashed the original maemo image into the firmware and have been tested both postmarketos and leste using a sd card.18:17
peresee <URL: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Nokia_N900_(nokia-n900) > and <URL: https://phoenix.maemo.org/job/leste-image-n900/ > for the latter. not sure where I found the old maemo image.18:18
untakenstupidnicmy problem with maemo leste is that it both rapidly consumes battery and doesn't shutdown when battery gets too low unlike fremantle. and after that it would be hard to get n900 to turn on.18:19
untakenstupidnicand i have failed so far to save the phone in time.18:20
pereright.  then you know the alternatives.18:23
untakenstupidnicand postmarketOS is unlikely to be any better.18:23
untakenstupidniceasy debian is actually a chroot environment on fremantle18:24
pereI do not remember it being hard to find a replacement firmware.18:25
Wizzupuntakenstupidnic: the power usage on the n900 will get fixed18:28
pereuntakenstupidnic: found it.  I used http://maemo.cloud-7.de/maemo5/patches_n_tools/maemo-my-private-workdir.tgz and flash-it-all.sh.18:28
Wizzupwe'll get it to a couple days18:28
Wizzupit's like what, 8 hours now?18:28
pere418:28
untakenstupidnicWizzup: nice, let me know when the new image is out18:31
untakenstupidnici don't remember how many hours it did last.18:32
bencoh4 doesn't sound like a lot to be honest ... is it really 4?18:51
perethat is what leste is telling me, at least.18:51
untakenstupidnicdid bada attract any hacker community? searches bring nothing19:43
perewhat is bada?19:44
Wizzuppere: untakenstupidnic: btw https://twitter.com/maemoleste/status/122626599798164684919:45
Wizzupthis is without powervr driver and in idle19:45
WizzupI have a hunch that the current powervr driver might block OFF mode, so I need to investigate, but had a lot of other things going on19:46
untakenstupidnicpere: samsung's previous phone linux19:46
sicelo< untakenstupidnic> and postmarketOS is unlikely to be any better < i had made a tweak in pmOS for auto-shutdown at 3.2V (which was working for me) .. it got drowned in other not-exactly related discussion though :(21:05
sicelopoint being - with some scripting at least, you can get your Leste N900 to shutdown in time21:06
siceloLeste lasts me at least 8 hours, if not longer on N90021:06
sicelobut yes, I'd also be interested to have a quick play on MeeGo - i remember trying Nemo, not MeeGo :-/21:08
