**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Oct 20 03:00:00 2018 Oct 20 14:00:40 new android firmware seems to be finaly available for manual flashing Oct 20 15:52:32 ok, so I updated and now I cant turn Wifi ON Oct 20 15:52:56 looking at oesf forum, I am not alone Oct 20 15:53:23 anyone here with custom partitions who updated without issues? Oct 20 16:58:08 Hi, did anyone get the flash tool working on Linux ? Oct 20 16:58:49 I tried to back up the NVRAM0 partition, the gemini screen is black and I get error window with a lot of ??s in it, which I only assume are unrendered chinese characters Oct 20 17:01:03 note that I am not running this questionable X11 application with root privileges and I didn't completely trash the security of the Xserver either ... Oct 20 17:15:19 OK, generally, the guides suggest that to install Linux on a Linux powered device, I should use Windows, that's useless to me Oct 20 17:18:21 ah, removing modemmanager helped, ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1" doesn't have the expected impact Oct 20 17:21:07 ... I have to wonder, why noone wrote a flasher yet, it seems to be a matter of sniffing the ttyACM0 communication, which should be doable with strace or gdb Oct 20 18:24:16 well, after bit more looking, the new update even does not contin rooted boot image, so it is useless for me, I reverted back to previous version Oct 20 18:26:07 Can't you just use the old boot image Oct 20 18:29:30 it will not have latest security updates then (I guess) Oct 20 18:36:54 ah right, the last update undid the security fixes and there was no security fix since Oct 20 18:37:10 but, they promised android oreo update ... a bit after pie went out Oct 20 18:37:26 I just tried the USB ethernet in the gemini debian image, it doesn't work, unsurprisingly Oct 20 18:40:39 ok, but the gemini does RNDIS at least Oct 20 18:40:49 which, btw ... doesn't seem to work, OK, so that's a fail too Oct 20 20:35:27 for me (android rooted) update through flashtool worked on the second try... on the first the "download" of the system partition stopped on 55% ;) the rooted boot img is "root_boot.img" Oct 20 21:28:57 Marex, update kernel Oct 20 21:29:09 it should work afterwards Oct 20 21:36:35 moin Oct 20 21:37:15 it seems that the update programs sets a flag that the gemini boots into the recovery mode. is there a way to reset this flag from twrp? Oct 20 22:25:25 TheKit: update which kernel and where ? Oct 20 22:45:33 Marex, https://github.com/gemian/gemini-keyboard-apps/wiki/DebianTP2#update-your-kernel Oct 20 22:46:49 oh, you mean Linux ... Oct 20 22:46:56 apt-get dist-upgrade is not enough > Oct 20 22:46:57 ? Oct 21 00:00:47 no, it won't reflash boot partition Oct 21 00:59:27 Marex: I've suggested a change to the boot loader to allow us to update the kernel from apt, one day it may work... **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Oct 21 03:00:00 2018
