**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Mar 05 03:00:01 2017 Mar 05 05:45:59 hey guys Mar 05 05:46:03 allah is doing Mar 05 05:46:07 sun is not doing allah is doing Mar 05 05:46:11 to accept Islam say that i bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad peace be upon him is his slave and messenger Mar 05 07:43:18 freemangordon: no experience with gio no Mar 05 07:47:17 hrm Mar 05 07:47:26 what could be the reason of mass storage mode not working? Mar 05 07:47:56 when i connect cable, i click 'mass storage', but it stays at 'charging only' Mar 05 07:48:04 KotCzarny: inability to umount (busy fs) maybe? Mar 05 07:48:24 when i do lsof|grep -i mydocs i dont see anything Mar 05 07:48:25 I'd suggest lsof -n Mar 05 07:48:49 opt is on different partition, right? Mar 05 07:49:08 so only something with 'mydocs' in the path should matter in such case Mar 05 08:04:39 also, i can umount mydocs just fine from cmdline Mar 05 09:38:52 Hello everybody. Need help with kernel boot. Mar 05 09:38:59 Please let me know if you can read me. Mar 05 09:42:21 What help do you require, you may have to hang about for an answer. Mar 05 09:42:52 Hello, thanks for answering. Mar 05 09:43:13 I have reflashed my N900, and installed u-boot. Mar 05 09:43:30 Then I was trying to install NITDroid, and messed up something. Mar 05 09:43:45 Now I can access u-boot console, but not the OS. Mar 05 09:44:06 I have been able to put the kernel image on a sd card and make it start. Mar 05 09:44:21 But when it starts it sits for a while and then reboots. Mar 05 09:44:42 I nedd help on how to set the system in order for Maemo to properly start. Mar 05 09:45:14 Note: I cannot reflash the device, since it is not recognised by my computer anymore. Mar 05 09:49:51 Hi Pali, are you the developer of u-boot for the N900? Mar 05 10:13:15 ~nitdroid Mar 05 10:13:15 [nitdroid] Nokia Internet Tablets with android OS. Support on nitdroid is provided in the channel #nitdroid and #nitdroid-help and Nokia does not officially support owners with android OS on their tablets. For more information read here: http://nitdroid.com/index.php?title=NITDroid_project. If you have bricked your N900 device and have installed nitdroid, flash with both eMMC and fiasco. Mar 05 10:15:04 I cannot flash because the device is not recognised by my computer anymore. Mar 05 10:15:16 ~flashing Mar 05 10:15:16 from memory, maemo-flashing is http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware, or - on linux PC - download&extract http://maemo.cloud-7.de/maemo5/patches_n_tools/maemo-my-private-workdir.tgz, cd into it, do sudo ./flash-it-all.sh; or see ~flashing-cmdline, or see ~lazyflashing Mar 05 10:15:21 try that script Mar 05 10:16:47 Sorry, I don't understand what ~flashing means. Mar 05 10:17:05 download&extract http://maemo.cloud-7.de/maemo5/patches_n_tools/maemo-my-private-workdir.tgz, cd into it, do sudo ./flash-it-all.sh Mar 05 10:18:06 dont forget that you have to power off n900 and connect it to your machine after you get prompted AND without turning it on Mar 05 10:19:40 I was trying to use the flasher-3.5. I have been able to install it on Windows Vista. Mar 05 10:19:49 The problem is that the device is not recognised. Mar 05 10:20:07 anybody knowing sparql? Mar 05 10:20:33 Enrico309: better find some old laptop and install 32bit linux Mar 05 10:21:03 or boot 32bit linux from falsh drive/cd Mar 05 10:21:07 or just run some 32bit livecd linux Mar 05 10:21:09 yup Mar 05 10:21:09 *flash Mar 05 10:21:38 Ok, but please let me know... does this script require the flasher-3.5? Mar 05 10:21:48 most probably Mar 05 10:21:53 it includes everything you need Mar 05 10:21:57 flasher and flashing images Mar 05 10:22:10 Ok, I will have a look at it. Mar 05 10:23:12 fmg, got an idea why mass storage isnt working on n900? even after clicking on requester it stays in charge only Mar 05 10:27:08 The lazy script above is a shell script IIRC so not for windows. Mar 05 10:27:55 Yes, I have also a Mac. The problem is that I cannot install the flasher there. Mar 05 10:28:11 see 'livecd' Mar 05 10:28:59 Ok, first thing I will do is to open the .sh script with the Mac and look at what's going on there. Mar 05 10:29:28 Also issues may occur detecting device with a USB hub, make sure you use a USB port directly. Ones on the back. Mar 05 10:30:05 I have a laptop - no USB ports on the back. Just on sides. Mar 05 10:30:22 https://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_firmware#Mac_OS_X ? Mar 05 10:30:32 But before bricking it, the device was recognised. Mar 05 10:31:12 KotCzarny: what os? Mar 05 10:31:36 fmg, stock, but it was working before and i dont remember installing or changing anything in the meantime Mar 05 10:31:53 I mean - what OS is on the PC Mar 05 10:32:10 fmg, probably android, or some tv os Mar 05 10:33:03 does it work when connected to some "normal" PC? Mar 05 10:33:08 let me check Mar 05 10:33:45 Enrico309: what happened so you've bricked it? Mar 05 10:35:03 Enrico309: depending on the type of "brick" you may need to cold-flash it Mar 05 10:35:25 flasher-3.5 will do the job, but it is tricky Mar 05 10:35:29 ~cold-flash Mar 05 10:35:30 when connected to pc no reaction Mar 05 10:35:46 KotCzarny: you're sure USB cable is ok? Mar 05 10:35:46 could it be a symptom of usb port dying? Mar 05 10:36:02 yes, but you'd better check with other USB cable first Mar 05 10:36:09 ~ping Mar 05 10:36:10 1 packet transmitted, 1 packet received, 0.0% packet loss Mar 05 10:36:17 ~cold-flashing Mar 05 10:36:22 grrr Mar 05 10:36:54 when i rebooted there was is some activity in device manager Mar 05 10:37:40 and got usb type requester, but clicking on 'mass storage' doesnt change anything Mar 05 10:38:26 so i assume cable is ok, but os somehow fails to initialize the gadget maybe Mar 05 10:38:47 err what do you mean by "not recognized anymore" by the way? Mar 05 10:38:53 ah Mar 05 10:39:23 KotCzarny: looks like, you'd better boot some linux and check what dmesg says Mar 05 10:39:34 btw. there was g_ether loaded Mar 05 10:39:43 I was moving files on the directory structure from the terminal. Mar 05 10:39:53 after removing it there was some activity in device manager Mar 05 10:40:00 Enrico309: see https://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_firmware/Cold_Flashing Mar 05 10:41:06 http://pastebin.com/raw/fCX19WCn Mar 05 10:41:13 dmesg bit from n900 Mar 05 10:41:49 I already tried the cold flash. The device is not seen by the computer. Mar 05 10:41:58 (Again, this on Windows.) Mar 05 10:42:08 I will manage to do something with the Mac. Mar 05 10:42:21 But first I would like to know how to communicate with the device. Mar 05 10:44:12 how can i change usb mode from cmdline on n900? Mar 05 10:44:22 ie. start mass storage Mar 05 10:44:47 Enrico309: as I said, it is tricky, you only have about 200-300ms for the detection Mar 05 10:45:24 KotCzarny: ass long as g_mass_storage is loaded, it should be fine Mar 05 10:45:36 fmg: it doesnt need some configuration? Mar 05 10:45:37 KotCzarny: again, get dmesg log from host PC Mar 05 10:45:53 well, it needs, but it should be done Mar 05 10:46:07 you mean g_file_storage ? Mar 05 10:46:09 check in /sbin/osso-usb-mass-storage.sh or somesuch Mar 05 10:46:16 yep Mar 05 10:47:06 hmm, running osso-usb-mass-storage-enable.sh from cmdline made it work Mar 05 10:47:37 Enrico309: by the time I had windoze XP here, it was taking 8-10 cable reconnects so cold-flash detection to work Mar 05 10:47:47 and knowing vista is way heavier... Mar 05 10:48:21 I guess it just doesn't manage to install the needed driver before it is too late Mar 05 10:48:47 KotCzarny: weird Mar 05 10:50:06 Ok, let's say I work on the Mac. How may I communicate with the device? Mar 05 10:51:25 And I read the flash-it-all script. It just makes use of the flasher-3.5. I am able to do that without the script. Mar 05 10:51:29 fmg, is it normal to have g_ether loaded on boot? Mar 05 10:51:45 Just, I don't have the flasher on the Mac. Mar 05 10:53:25 said 'works' too early, it loaded, i see drives in 'my computer' but they arent accessible. and i see 'charging only' in the systray Mar 05 10:53:44 and mydocs is mounted still Mar 05 10:53:48 (on n900) Mar 05 10:58:03 it's as it fails to configure file to export Mar 05 10:58:59 hum, might be that script needs param passed Mar 05 10:59:08 Enrico309: I doubt flash-it-all script will help if 1st stage loader is broken, you should do cold-flash by hand Mar 05 10:59:25 Enrico309: also, I can't help with anything apple :) Mar 05 10:59:44 Enrico309: pong Mar 05 10:59:51 see mailbox Mar 05 10:59:54 btw, it's definitely not going to work (at least not safely) if you have any files/directories open from the MyDocs mount. Mar 05 11:00:07 maxd: lsof shows nothing Mar 05 11:00:19 at least on lsof|grep -i mydocs Mar 05 11:00:21 KotCzarny: do you still have terminal opened? Mar 05 11:00:28 lsof isn't necessarily reliable. Mar 05 11:00:29 and as i've said, i can umount mydocs without a problem Mar 05 11:00:49 Hm, okay. Mar 05 11:01:40 KotCzarny: you could try to rmmod g_file_storage by hand, then load it by hand with the correct parameters Mar 05 11:02:07 and do "echo /dev/whatevermydocspartis > /sys/..." Mar 05 11:02:28 .. and hope that maemo doesn't automatically mount it again. Mar 05 11:02:48 sorry, can't remember the /sys/ path for g_file_storage parameters Mar 05 11:03:09 If you've rmmodded it, you can just pass in the parameters as you modprobe it again. Mar 05 11:03:17 modprobe g_file_storage file=/dev/mmcblk... Mar 05 11:03:31 Maxdamantus: maemo usee LUNS=2 Mar 05 11:03:34 *uses Mar 05 11:04:06 but yeah, maybe it is possible to provide files to be exported on cmdline Mar 05 11:04:49 Pali: so, upstream replacement for tracker-client is tracker-sparql, right? Mar 05 11:05:01 I really do not know Mar 05 11:05:30 do you know SPARQL? Mar 05 11:05:46 The luns parameter seems to just specify a maximum number of luns, so that shouldn't be a problem. Mar 05 11:05:55 hmm, right Mar 05 11:06:06 afaik maemo will usually only have 1 anyway. Mar 05 11:06:25 no, my maemo usualy has 2 :) Mar 05 11:06:34 Heh. Mar 05 11:06:41 mydocs and vfat partotion on uSD :) Mar 05 11:06:46 *partition Mar 05 11:06:57 My maemo usually doesn't use g_file_storage or FAT at all. Mar 05 11:07:16 ssh is too slow Mar 05 11:07:27 to copy a video file for example Mar 05 11:08:10 If I need to copy a single large file I'll just use netcat and pipe it to dd with oflags=sync after remounting the filesystem with -o sync Mar 05 11:08:44 If I need to copy lots of large files I'll probably just run an rsync server somewhere. Mar 05 11:08:56 er, lots of small files* Mar 05 11:10:00 doesn't work (in real-time) if you want to copy some movie downloaded on your PC to n900 (connected to TV set) :) Mar 05 11:10:00 tinysmb? Mar 05 11:10:13 quite nice and works like a charm Mar 05 11:10:29 no way you can achieve 15MB/s over the wifi Mar 05 11:10:47 :) Mar 05 11:11:29 I meant over g_ether. Mar 05 11:11:46 If it's over wifi I won't bother with the sync stuff because the filesystem will be fast enough anyway. Mar 05 11:11:54 ah Mar 05 11:11:57 g_ether Mar 05 11:12:18 still, it is slower and more complicated Mar 05 11:12:28 I'd usually just transfer one-off small things over ssh/wifi. Mar 05 11:12:40 but yeah, will do the job Mar 05 11:12:44 hmm, i've added some debug to /usr/sbin/osso-usb-mass-storage-enable.sh , but it apparently isnt called at all Mar 05 11:12:54 KotCzarny: ke-recv is running? Mar 05 11:13:03 yea Mar 05 11:13:11 try to restart it Mar 05 11:13:14 i get usb mode dialog so it should be Mar 05 11:14:03 also, iirc there is some verbose debug ke-recv cmdline switch Mar 05 11:14:16 Pali: ^^^ how to enable verbose logging in ke-recv? Mar 05 11:15:39 no banana Mar 05 11:19:33 freemangordon: logging is in syslog Mar 05 11:19:49 maybe it's time to upgrade to cssu Mar 05 11:20:00 still, would be nice to know where it fails now Mar 05 11:20:05 and you probably need to add #define DEBUG at the begining of affected file Mar 05 11:20:24 ke-recv uses osso-log.h for logging Mar 05 11:26:30 KotCzarny: wait, what?!? Mar 05 11:26:38 you're not on cssu? Mar 05 11:26:54 :) Mar 05 11:27:05 no more help for you :p Mar 05 11:27:21 until you install cssu Mar 05 11:27:21 ok, ok, i'm upgrading, i just hope it wont fry my n900 :P Mar 05 11:27:33 ~cssu Mar 05 11:27:34 [cssu] http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU, or (Community Seamless Software Update) Mar 05 11:27:53 KotCzarny: jump on -thumb Mar 05 11:27:55 would i get help if i go cssu-thumb thouhg :P Mar 05 11:28:01 sure :) Mar 05 11:28:04 k Mar 05 11:33:48 hrm, ham says i have cssu-testing enabled Mar 05 11:34:00 did i go cssu in the past and forgot about it? Mar 05 11:36:33 oh, and btw. when i click update in ham it tries to force me to backup, and there is no 'skip backup' button Mar 05 11:37:33 mp-fremantle-community-pr 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo1.2 Mar 05 11:47:59 oh, 'continue' button was missing because of the pkg conflicts. fixed them and now i can update to cssu-testing11 Mar 05 11:48:37 would be nice to have more intuitive notification why i can't continue (it was only in update details tab) Mar 05 11:50:28 KotCzarny: once you have CSSU installed, you will have that "more intuitive notification" :) Mar 05 11:50:38 iirc Mar 05 11:50:44 fmg, it looks like i had cssu-testing 1.2 Mar 05 11:50:59 which is how old? Mar 05 11:51:15 and now i recall i wasnt able to skip the 'create backup' because 'continue' was missing Mar 05 11:51:28 5 years old ;) Mar 05 11:55:01 it's updating (and nuked my wifi/ssh connection in the process, so fingers crossed) Mar 05 11:55:16 :) Mar 05 11:56:22 can i jump onto cassu-thumb from cssu-testing? Mar 05 11:58:58 yes Mar 05 12:01:00 wtf, it came in portrait mode after reboot o.O Mar 05 12:01:08 well, it happens Mar 05 12:01:14 just reboot once again Mar 05 12:01:30 there is bug somewhere in hildon-desktop Mar 05 12:01:45 unless you have locked it in portrait mode Mar 05 12:01:57 half of the icons are missed Mar 05 12:02:05 k, reboot Mar 05 12:02:50 keep the kbd opened, just in case Mar 05 12:03:26 portrait again Mar 05 12:03:50 opening kb didnt switch to landscape Mar 05 12:04:24 you have locked your device in portait :) Mar 05 12:04:44 k, how do i get to normal? Mar 05 12:05:21 I found an amusing bug I couldn't reproduce that had the device switching portrait landscape in a loop :) Mar 05 12:05:21 my neck is starting to be in pain Mar 05 12:05:24 oh Mar 05 12:05:37 install ... ummm... Mar 05 12:05:37 it came to landscape by itself now Mar 05 12:05:43 automagically Mar 05 12:05:53 maybe it was still booting Mar 05 12:06:16 KotCzarny: orientation-lock-applet Mar 05 12:06:30 mhm, i seem to have this before update Mar 05 12:06:34 now its missing Mar 05 12:06:48 yes, because it is not a part of cssu anymore Mar 05 12:06:59 but you can install it from HAM Mar 05 12:07:03 uhum Mar 05 12:07:19 imo it should be included Mar 05 12:07:28 it was decided against Mar 05 12:07:35 can't remember why Mar 05 12:07:41 what was the reasining? Mar 05 12:07:46 *reasoning Mar 05 12:07:48 can't remember Mar 05 12:08:08 it's part of the general ui experience Mar 05 12:08:19 it was some political reasoning :) Mar 05 12:08:27 the worst kind Mar 05 12:08:48 anything else is missing that i should reinstall? Mar 05 12:08:54 NFC Mar 05 12:09:23 how am I supposed to know what you have had installed on your device :) Mar 05 12:09:51 KotCzarny: does mass-storage work? Mar 05 12:10:21 because it's not in stock maemo Mar 05 12:10:41 yeah, some kind of that Mar 05 12:10:58 If you are not interested in portrait then is clutter. Mar 05 12:11:10 I can understand why it's optional Mar 05 12:11:14 mhm Mar 05 12:11:57 most phone with accelerometer usually allow user to decide which mode should be uses port/land/auto Mar 05 12:12:13 KotCzarny: but not stock n900 Mar 05 12:12:20 so if you cant configure it in the os, it seems like your phone is missing something Mar 05 12:12:25 n900 is not most phones tho... Mar 05 12:12:51 it's definitely a feature Mar 05 12:12:59 which isnt essential to have, but nice one Mar 05 12:13:06 KotCzarny: nothing stops you from installing it Mar 05 12:13:14 yup Mar 05 12:13:18 It's an optional extra as you could use gconf to keep the status menu uncluttered. Mar 05 12:13:29 it is there, just not pushed forcefully Mar 05 12:13:38 its something that should go into setting panel Mar 05 12:13:59 KotCzarny: however, does mass-storage work now? Mar 05 12:14:09 let me check Mar 05 12:14:46 nope. clicking usb mode button in status menu and selecting 'mass storage' didnt do the trick Mar 05 12:14:47 KotCzarny: BTW, is fsck finished? Mar 05 12:14:55 still shows 'charging only' Mar 05 12:15:12 yup, no fsck in ps Mar 05 12:15:25 try another USB cable Mar 05 12:16:02 also, I have a similar problem with my dev n900 when connected to some of the USB ports on my PC Mar 05 12:16:07 cable should be fine, because i see mass storage drives, just unconfigured Mar 05 12:16:15 ah Mar 05 12:16:35 seems you have something installed that messes with it Mar 05 12:17:30 any clue what to search for? Mar 05 12:19:06 which gadget module is loaded? Mar 05 12:23:36 KotCzarny: ^^^ Mar 05 12:23:48 when you connect USB cable that is Mar 05 12:26:02 g_ether Mar 05 12:26:17 should be g_file_storage Mar 05 12:26:28 wait Mar 05 12:26:31 g_ether? Mar 05 12:26:36 who loads that? Mar 05 12:26:44 good question Mar 05 12:26:50 should be either g_nokia or g_file_storage Mar 05 12:27:22 iirc Mar 05 12:27:39 umkay, found it Mar 05 12:27:51 hmm? Mar 05 12:27:52 apparently i've modified rcS Mar 05 12:27:55 :D Mar 05 12:27:59 2 years ago Mar 05 12:28:29 i've even added comments in the file ;) Mar 05 12:28:35 just forgot about it Mar 05 12:28:35 cool Mar 05 12:28:48 oh well, at least i'm on updated cssu thanks to it ;) Mar 05 12:28:58 you may jump to thumb Mar 05 12:29:16 yup, will comment out my changes and see if i get mass storage back Mar 05 12:32:41 ugh, still doesnt work Mar 05 12:32:53 no gagdets loaded at all now Mar 05 12:33:13 oh 'device storage in use' Mar 05 12:33:24 KotCzarny: you have changed more things I guess Mar 05 12:33:28 aah Mar 05 12:33:44 well, close all terminals Mar 05 12:33:53 all closed Mar 05 12:33:55 only ssh open Mar 05 12:34:07 in which dir? Mar 05 12:34:11 ~ Mar 05 12:34:25 well, something holds mydocs opened Mar 05 12:34:36 huh Mar 05 12:34:50 now when i clicked 'mass storage' it worked, mysterious. Mar 05 12:35:26 fsck? Mar 05 12:35:49 maybe, will try rebooting in a moment Mar 05 12:46:00 KotCzarny: wait, so now you're using cssu? Mar 05 12:46:27 apparently i have installed cssu-testing at some point in the past Mar 05 12:46:39 somewhere around 2012 ;) Mar 05 12:56:38 it feels good to organize photos in win7 explorer Mar 05 13:07:51 hum, mydocs didnt get remounted after cable disconnect Mar 05 13:08:11 oh, it did. fsck again then? Mar 05 13:08:42 maybe there should be a statusbar icon to show when mydocs is running/fsck is running ;) Mar 05 13:17:37 'unable to update 'cssu-thumb', conflivting packages: curl (7,26.0-1maemo1+0cssu1), the heck?

Mar 05 19:43:45 wfm Mar 05 19:52:50 :nod: Mar 05 20:32:42 http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/talk.maemo.org Mar 05 20:33:11 he asked for m.o, not t.m.o Mar 05 20:34:18 I'm so happy my /ignore works... not Mar 05 20:35:44 what you learned: I like to provide gebneric info, not answers made as piecemeal. And those who can see this are the smarter half Mar 05 20:36:46 also you learned: not everybody adores Captain Obvious Mar 05 20:37:37 he asked for a simple yes/no, not a snotty response that was also wrong (since site might seem up, yet, broken) Mar 05 20:38:56 FU! Mar 05 20:39:01 *plonk* Mar 05 20:40:01 sigh Mar 05 20:40:32 anyway, m.o works from here Mar 05 20:42:11 what I really love are twits that think they need to correct answers of others since they are not exactly what those twits would want to see Mar 05 20:42:24 bencoh: bookmark this thingie: http://monitor.maemo.org/ganglia/?c=maemo&m=load_one&r=hour&s=by%20name&hc=4&mc=2 Mar 05 20:42:43 He didn't ask for that!!! idiot! Mar 05 20:45:12 also that's >>a snotty response that was also wrong (since site might seem up, yet, broken)<< Mar 05 20:51:20 * DocScrutinizer05 idly wonders what makes people think others are even more stupid than themselves. When a "wfm" already answered the question if a site is up, how would anybody in their sane mind even assume an URL posted a 30 minutes later was >>a snotty response<< to the original question Mar 05 21:01:20 unless of course they conclude from themselves to others Mar 05 21:48:07 ~sb Mar 05 21:48:10 somebody said scratchbox was a cross-compiling system that uses binfmt_misc, rpc calls, and an nfs mount to make a cross-build appear to be 100% native, and is found at http://www.scratchbox.org/, hosted by maemo now. Also at http://maemo.merlin1991.at/files/SB Mar 05 23:13:05 yep thx, I forget that m.o is broken for HTTPS everywhere Mar 06 00:15:54 is it? Mar 06 00:17:10 oh, redirects to login, weird Mar 06 00:19:12 and login redirects to http://maemo.org. at last then - after authenticating - you could use https://maemo.org Mar 06 00:19:51 weird **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Mar 06 03:00:00 2017
