**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Nov 16 03:00:02 2017 Nov 16 05:18:38 ~flash Nov 16 05:18:39 maemo-flashing is, like, 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 Nov 16 05:26:52 ~adobe Nov 16 05:26:52 it has been said that adobe is an array of lawyers. I could tell you what it means, but I'd have to Killu Nov 16 05:27:02 ~macromedia Nov 16 05:27:02 macromedia is probably http://www.macromedia.com Nov 16 05:29:11 * Maxdamantus wonders what Killuing is. Nov 16 05:36:56 It's in Net-Speak Nov 16 10:17:45 does N900 touchscreen replacement involve dealing with icky-sticky glue? Nov 16 10:48:07 IIRC no, the N900 screen isn't optically bonded to the digitizer Nov 16 10:57:15 Oksanaa: do you know if there's a Minix-style OS one can run on the N900? Nov 16 11:00:29 jkepler: http://wiki.minix3.org/doku.php?id=developersguide:minixonarm Nov 16 11:00:43 I guess you could port there work to n900 Nov 16 11:01:19 since the beaglebone is quite close hardware-wise Nov 16 11:01:42 the omap3 one at least Nov 16 11:03:03 but no jtag and serial would make it quite painful Nov 16 11:03:16 (and +no serial) Nov 16 11:24:07 Thanks. Porting it's above my current skill-level, but maybe one day, as I learn more about operating systems. Nov 16 11:32:56 coincidentally, I was reading http://wiki.maemo.org/R%2526D_mode Nov 16 11:33:13 regarding serial Nov 16 12:57:53 hmm, no escape key on Maemo keypad Nov 16 12:58:45 it's kinda funny when you have applications that assume desktop key layouts Nov 16 13:05:54 * CatButts throws statement in with his previous 'halfarsed port' complaint Nov 16 14:10:21 CatButts, it can be added Nov 16 14:10:39 or, uh... nm, guess I misunderstood what you meant.. Nov 16 14:20:19 the menus of Quake 2, you can never escape! Nov 16 16:07:46 CatButts, just use console to set all settings ;) Nov 16 16:21:30 anyone here familiar w/ /etc/apt/preferences.d? Nov 16 16:21:49 i'm having trouble using it w/ two files :-( Nov 16 16:27:53 ok, turns out i just can't read the `apt-policy` output correctly :) Nov 16 17:48:12 http://www.mediafire.com/file/6y8x0ob9g8p7khw/adobe-flashplayer-10.deb oh goody Nov 16 17:54:56 joga, what's the tilde, then :P Nov 16 17:56:05 haven't tried... but you can atleast rebind stuff in the config if all else fails :) Nov 16 18:05:41 * CatButts fetches htop urgently to kill orphaned, cpu munching flash player Nov 16 18:57:26 I like Flash, I can run code at 5 times more CPU usage and warm my hands at the same time Nov 16 18:57:54 ok on PC, not so much on the n900 :P Nov 16 19:19:38 CatButts: maemo applications do not assume desktop key layouts. Nov 16 19:21:17 to reword my statement, ported applications that expect keys found on standard desktop keyboards, but not so much the n900 Nov 16 19:23:05 Is the 'Community SSU' app catalogue a subset of 'Community SSU (testing)'? Nov 16 19:24:09 you can map Esc to something too :-) ... and any other pc key you need Nov 16 19:28:26 Is the 'Community SSU' app catalogue a subset of 'Community SSU (testing)'? - maybe consider them to be distributions (debian). community suu is what we call Stable, and the othr is self-explanatory. you will typically 'track' only one of them at a given time Nov 16 19:30:04 yes, one of them is disabled in my catalogue list Nov 16 19:30:20 was wondering if stable has applications not in testing Nov 16 19:32:22 no Nov 16 19:33:04 all CSSU flavors contain updated versions of stock applications. nothing extra Nov 16 19:33:55 so it follows that they will have the same number of applications (might not be exactly the same, but you get the idea) Nov 16 21:51:13 if anything testing has alternatives to the stock versions but nothing extra. Maybe Orientation Applet but that's it. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Nov 17 03:00:03 2017
