**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jun 21 03:00:02 2018 Jun 21 07:48:07 hm, gemini on same wifi as laptop. android claims "connected, no internet" while I can easily access the 'net from the laptop (linux). Jun 21 07:52:33 does the wifi require to load a page and to press a "confirm" button or similar before it allows the access? Jun 21 07:57:48 no, regular wpa password protected. Jun 21 07:58:39 seems DNS lookup is failing; I can ping 8.8.8.8 Jun 21 08:44:36 figured how to set static IP and DNS; can ping DNS, still no internet. Reverted. Reboots don't help. It worked fine yesterday. Very annoying. Jun 21 08:58:35 anyone tried making changes to the 'lk' bootloader? Jun 21 09:01:44 I can compile it inside Android tree, but compiling it outside Android tree is going to be an issue Jun 21 09:31:26 I was thinking to make an adjustment in `lk` where it reads the default boot option from efuse... then a small app in either android or linux can set the default boot option Jun 21 09:36:45 it seems it somehow emulates the concept of env variables Jun 21 09:38:48 https://github.com/dguidipc/gemini-lk/blob/master/lk/platform/mt6797/env.c Jun 21 09:44:47 thanks, I'll have a look Jun 21 09:47:20 I also looked at the OTA update... since it doesn't install when you applied any partition changes Jun 21 09:48:10 I wonder if Planet applied any custom release-key to create images/updates Jun 21 09:50:12 if they applied the default AOSP release key, then we could change the OTA so it works on multiboot systems also Jun 21 09:51:30 ota.zip says "Planet/Gemini/Planet:7.1.1/NMF26O/1523427695:user/release-keys" Jun 21 09:56:12 did you find the check for it? Jun 21 09:57:01 because I guess Planet would be happy to fix it if possible Jun 21 10:05:00 I forgot the exact error message... Jun 21 10:31:25 just tried the OTA again... the exact error is "Error: Partition table not match", followed by "Update.zip is not correct" Jun 21 10:33:46 is the check in update.zip script? Jun 21 10:50:25 certain pound shop in the UK has charge & sync USB-A to USB-C cables at 20% off (80p each), but they state the charger should not exceed 1000mAh Jun 21 10:50:46 did anyone measure exact screen size in mm? Jun 21 10:58:07 NotKit, found it... the check is part of the recovery binary (/sbin/recovery) so that means there's not much we can do I'm afraid Jun 21 10:58:39 patch recovery, I guess Jun 21 10:59:01 but that means TWRP should work fine? Jun 21 10:59:43 I think in order to apply the OTA, you need to have the key that is used to sign the package Jun 21 11:00:54 or use FlashTool Jun 21 11:01:42 since dualboot flashes recovery anyway, it could be replaced with modified one Jun 21 11:01:55 yes, but in that case you would need the images Jun 21 11:02:18 and I don't think Planet has provided the updated images yet, right? Jun 21 11:03:35 if we have someone in here that has successfully applied the OTA, then he/she(/it?) could rip the images so we can all do the update using the FlashTool :) Jun 21 11:05:30 https://gitlab.com/mt6797/vendor/blob/ALPS-MP-M0.MP9-V1.78.1_NB6797_6C_M/mediatek/proprietary/bootable/recovery/utils/mt_check_partition.cpp#L654 Jun 21 11:05:43 that honestly feels unneedlessly complicated, why should it care about scatter Jun 21 11:15:00 Omegamoon: I have not applied the OTA yet, I can do it now, I still have the original Android-only config Jun 21 11:15:23 I'll just need instructions on how to rip the images after the update Jun 21 11:24:05 Varti: https://github.com/gemian/gemini-keyboard-apps/wiki/Flashing#firmware-backup Jun 21 11:27:34 <_sven> which file i have to edit in SF to stop the display rotate 180 degree Jun 21 11:27:46 ok, thanks for the link... I'll have to do this at home then, I can't install stuff on my company PC unfortunately Jun 21 11:58:49 still no DNS, tried another wifi network. As soon as the o Jun 21 11:59:37 connection is established, android knows there is no DNS. That's way too quick to know... Jun 21 12:01:11 (although it says "no connection" which simply isn't true, because I'm IRCing) Jun 21 12:55:45 did a factory reset. That helped. Seriously hope this won't happen again, kinda defeats the purpose of bringing a wifi-only gemini instead of a laptop when travelling... as I will do in a few days. Jun 21 13:05:20 glad you sorted it out, and it doesn't make much sense that a factory reset was required for that. Did you changed any setting between yesterday and today? Jun 21 13:18:33 probably :) but none that ought to relate to that. Been trying to let adb connect, but that has problems of it's own. Only "connectivity" related thing I can think of. Not doing that right now. Jun 21 16:15:41 someone wanted to hear about termux + emacs + org-mode; I can confirm that works smoothly without any fiddling watsoever Jun 21 16:51:21 ha, Termux:API can play music, add mpd+mpc and that's so much more convenient than an android app ;) Jun 21 17:54:46 Zeyphr - (however its spelled) - repo for XServer works, got a desktop under Termux and messed around with Powder Toy :) Jun 21 17:55:19 Good stop-gap until the serious dual-boot stuff is a bit smoother. I don't have patience for multiple wipes/reflash. Jun 21 17:56:37 TallTim: is XShm usable? Jun 21 17:57:03 Can't report on that score, just got the desktop and noodled around briefly. Jun 21 17:57:17 I was just happy it launched when I typed 'startx' :) Jun 21 17:57:35 Pretty cool for a app encapsulated in Android anyway. Jun 21 17:59:52 https://github.com/pelya/android-shmem - I'm still searching for the link I used some time ago Jun 21 18:00:12 this speeds up things considerably - and make e.g. qt applications working Jun 21 18:08:50 https://github.com/termux/libandroid-shmem <- ok, termux has this^^ Jun 21 18:08:57 I think I need to try it :-D Jun 21 18:17:46 Grr I cant find a happy medium with screen size and font size in terms. Will wait until i can linux on this. I wonder when pc will deliver for wifi people Jun 21 18:33:17 qt applications - this means zaurus apps? Jun 21 18:34:10 don't know whether they are working on modern environments (ie. libs) Jun 21 18:35:28 if the source code is available it could be manageable Jun 21 19:26:01 btw. http://www.superpix.com.cn/en/xiazai/SP5509.pdf seems to be the camera sensor which is used Jun 21 20:24:58 mifritscher: so the internal and external units are the same? if thats the case then the i2c bus is on the camera connector so a small i2c e-ink display could be an alternative to the external camera? Jun 21 21:41:23 adam_b: seem so - at least regarding the information in /proc Jun 21 21:42:57 /proc/driver/camera_info: CAM[1]:sp5509mainmipiraw; CAM[2]:sp5509mipirawsls; **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Jun 22 03:00:01 2018
