May 12 11:06:05 Ulf D was added by: Ulf D May 12 11:30:35 geekofia was added by: geekofia May 12 11:38:40 Hi everyone. I couldn't manage to find out what Wi-Fi chipset my phone has. May 12 11:39:00 I tried a couple of apps, but no one helped May 12 11:39:56 A friend of mine told me to build wlan as a module, but it is already set to be build as a module in my defconfig May 12 11:40:29 any idea? May 12 11:41:08 is it not documented online anywhere? May 12 11:41:34 I couldn't find it May 12 11:41:44 Only basic information May 12 11:41:48 Does your phone use a Qualcomm SoC? May 12 11:41:53 Yes May 12 11:42:26 Do you know what number the SoC is (eg MSM8936)? May 12 11:42:43 Yes, it is msm8996 May 12 11:43:10 Also, I know that it has more than one wifi chip May 12 11:43:10 in ideal world it would be qcom wireless May 12 11:43:42 It has more than one WiFi chip, that's a bit funny :-P May 12 11:43:44 I've more ideas.. but I am kinda busy at moment May 12 11:45:04 @reivilibre, I know what you mean. It's a little surprising for me May 12 11:45:14 Is it a Snapdragon 820 do you know? May 12 11:45:42 yes May 12 11:46:03 [Edit] yes, it is May 12 11:46:58 oh! May 12 11:48:56 can you paste output of `find /system` from halium rootfs? May 12 11:50:36 give me 10 minutes 😅 May 12 11:51:29 I'm not familiar with SoCs by any means but it sounds like it has 2 WiFi chips, one for 802.11b/g/n/ac and one for 802.11ad May 12 11:52:26 unless you're running one of these mythical 60 GHz 802.11ad networks, chances are you want the QCA6174A for 802.11b/g/n/ac May 12 11:53:35 N.B. they're listed here https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/820 (I assume that means they're included in the SoC and aren't an just compatible extras) May 12 11:53:44 [Edit] N.B. they're listed here https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/820 (I assume that means they're included in the SoC and aren't just compatible extras) May 12 11:54:01 No sane manufacturer would put 2 wifi chips in it May 12 11:54:20 It's using the wifi chip @reivilibre mentioned May 12 11:55:02 I ported a phone with 820 and haven't had any issues with wifi May 12 11:55:04 Weird May 12 11:55:06 There are very few phones with qcom soc and non-qcom wifi chips May 12 11:55:25 so yeah it's QCA thingie as @reivilibre mentions.. but problem is bit different May 12 11:55:42 and to confirm my theory I asked @mayltonfnds to provide me `find /system` May 12 11:56:37 Not really sure if it depends on userspace libs May 12 11:56:50 It should work without them May 12 11:57:05 @reivilibre, That's what I meant May 12 12:00:19 the brief on that 802.11ad chip (QCA9500) says it can do 4.6 Gbps, crazy May 12 12:04:06 False May 12 12:04:09 chityanjsharma was added by: chityanjsharma May 12 12:04:16 They don't have 2 May 12 12:04:41 @chityanjsharma, Welcome May 12 12:04:49 @DemonSingur, I am confused May 12 12:04:57 @DemonSingur, For what do they list two then? Different options? May 12 12:04:59 @vanyasem, What is up with all these wifi modules May 12 12:08:33 @reivilibre, You can have 2 SOC variants too, it doesn't matter if they're included or not May 12 12:08:50 Ah right, OK so they do make different variants of the same thing May 12 12:09:04 Honestly I don't know if they're included May 12 12:09:22 Still, that 'QCA9500' doesn't support the traditional non-AD networks, so it seems to me like they might put either both or just the B/G/N/AC one in May 12 12:15:38 They're options May 12 12:15:41 (Photo, 1189x168) https://irc.ubports.com/jMdrwV0j.png May 12 12:15:49 msm8998 only has 9500 May 12 12:15:57 + wcn chip for bt May 12 12:16:13 6174 also had bt integrated May 12 12:19:02 that seems reasonable, cheers for the research May 12 12:36:29 @bhushanshah, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qZqnBQ3XrZ/ May 12 12:37:10 There we go May 12 12:37:19 Try this.. May 12 12:37:25 `insmod /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko` May 12 12:37:36 and see if it makes wlan interface to show up? May 12 12:38:19 -bash: insmod: command not found May 12 12:38:43 `source /etc/environment` May 12 12:39:38 insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko: Invalid module format May 12 12:39:52 uhm May 12 12:40:02 let's try this then May 12 12:40:34 or probably it is in sbin instead of bin May 12 12:40:37 I am unsure May 12 12:41:46 root@localhost:~# /system/bin/insmod /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko … insmod: failed to load /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko: Exec format error May 12 12:42:00 hm May 12 12:42:24 `file /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko` May 12 12:47:24 root@localhost:~# file /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko … /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), BuildID[sha1]=d6f0e235e18766b77e496b7969f570e99a4ae463, not stripped May 12 12:47:28 @mayltonfnds, Oh this looks familiar May 12 12:57:55 @vanyasem, Any tip? May 12 12:58:05 I'm at work May 12 12:58:40 Oh, I see May 12 12:58:46 Np May 12 13:44:41 @vanyasem, You mean college?? May 12 13:45:58 @technicalbird, That is offtopic here, but no. I am in Samsung office sitting in front of the computer. I'm having an internship here May 12 13:54:50 @vanyasem, That's advertising 😂 May 12 14:36:40 how to fix this error... `error executing updater binary in zip` May 12 15:32:05 hello. In my kernel log I have several error like this: May 12 15:32:08 init: couldn't write 2207 to /dev/cpuset/foreground/tasks: No space left on device May 12 15:48:47 @enriconia, That's normal May 12 15:49:03 @abhishek_01, ok, thanks! May 12 18:49:25 Does halium can boot with editing repo and using prebuilt mtk kernel? We can boot nougat with prebuilt and editing repos May 12 18:50:00 Depends if the appropriate kernel configuration flags are set by default May 12 20:42:28 @vanyasem, I finally got round to editing your text a bit. Here's my suggestion for the guide. Hope you can use it! (I included a couple of changes to the previous part to make it fit better.) May 12 20:42:55 (Document) https://irc.ubports.com/L6quMx4N.txt May 12 20:43:52 Sorry, I meant Florian's text. But you mentioned you could put it in. May 12 20:44:04 @aribk, Someone please take a look at this. I can't really read now @flohack maybe or @universalsuperbox May 12 20:44:20 @aribk, [Edit] Someone please take a look at this. I can't really read now. Ping @flohack maybe or @universalsuperbox May 12 20:44:42 erm just a sec May 12 20:45:21 @aribk, Can you send us this via a Github PR? May 12 20:47:26 Up until now, I've only used Github to clone source. As you've certainly guessed, I'm not very experienced, so Github PR...? May 12 20:48:40 Point me to a guide or a link or something, and I'll be happy to. May 12 20:49:20 Do you have a fork of the Halium `docs` repository? May 12 20:50:01 (I assume you're talking about docs) May 12 20:50:18 @reivilibre, Nope, but I'll check that out. May 12 20:50:37 @aribk, Press the fork button in upper right May 12 20:50:40 Then you get your own repo May 12 20:50:59 OK. 👍 May 12 20:51:01 If you change the file there, it will be easier for us to trace changes etc. But you need to Compare and Pull Request after your edit May 12 20:52:21 Will do. Possibly not tonight, but in that case tomorrow. May 12 21:10:10 @Flohack, I forked and edited. Under "commit changes" the default is "commit directly to the master branch". I take it I should choose the other option: "Create a new branch..." ? May 12 21:27:40 That's what I did anyway. Hope it's useful! May 12 21:30:38 Did you 'Compare & Pull Request' after doing so? May 12 21:31:54 Didn't see compare anywhere. Just did a pull request, attached a comment and closed. May 12 21:33:26 I'm not seeing it on https://github.com/Halium/docs/pulls May 12 21:34:30 Hmm. Should I not have "closed"? May 12 21:34:41 Can I have a link to your fork? May 12 21:35:02 Just a sec... May 12 21:39:02 https://github.com/abkro/docs/blob/master/porting/install-build/reference-rootfs.rst May 12 21:39:32 Ah, I think you pull requested it to yourself May 12 21:39:40 😆 May 12 21:39:50 😂 May 12 21:40:05 I can't find it now... May 12 21:40:14 here: https://github.com/abkro/docs/tree/abkro-patch-1 and go to 'Pull request' May 12 21:41:26 OK. But I don't see how I can correct this? May 12 21:42:11 (Photo, 699x282) https://irc.ubports.com/SFnc6n4O.png You should see this? May 12 21:44:55 I saw that before, yes, but not now. May 12 21:45:01 What do you see now? May 12 21:45:39 (Document) https://irc.ubports.com/b2N6BJGl.png May 12 21:46:24 That's what you get from clicking 'Pull request' on the bar that says 'This branch is 1 commit ahead of Halium:master. ' ? May 12 21:46:49 You should click compare and pull request at github.com/Halium/docs May 12 21:46:51 And not at your fork May 12 21:47:26 Personally clicking compare & PR on my fork has worked fine in the past, but maybe that's because I always stay on the master branch May 12 21:48:49 I started by forking. Should I not have? May 12 21:49:20 No that's fine May 12 21:50:58 But it doesn't say compare, just pull request. Then, as I asked earlier, I get the option to commit directly to master branch, which I supposed was wrong to do. May 12 21:51:22 Then I chose create new branch. After that I opened a pull request. May 12 21:52:05 What you can do is, close your PR first May 12 21:52:13 OK May 12 21:52:22 Did that before. May 12 21:52:46 https://github.com/Halium/docs/compare/master...abkro:abkro-patch-1?expand=1 May 12 21:52:54 Go here May 12 21:53:19 Show screenshot first May 12 21:53:47 (Document) https://irc.ubports.com/iy01s0dv.png May 12 21:54:12 Sounds good May 12 21:54:44 So I just click 'open pull request' there? May 12 21:56:01 Yeah although you should add some description about changes May 12 21:56:28 Did that. Should I click compare before open pull request? May 12 21:56:30 In leave a comment box May 12 21:56:50 No .. just open pull request May 12 21:57:44 Done . Screenshot below. Click 'close'æ next? May 12 21:57:58 (Document) https://irc.ubports.com/haabUgAy.png May 12 21:58:13 Nope May 12 21:58:26 'Close' basically means the issue is solved May 12 21:58:33 which it isn't until your changes get put in :-) May 12 21:59:10 I see. So I just leave it at that, then, and log out? May 12 21:59:31 Yep, just leave it at that, and eventually someone in charge will get back to you May 12 22:00:01 Thanks! And thanks for your patience, guys! Have a great evening! May 12 22:00:33 You too pal May 12 22:01:23 Sorry, but this just happened. Doesn't look promising... May 12 22:01:37 (Document) https://irc.ubports.com/PSSL0DKa.png May 12 22:03:34 looks like your documentation isn't syntactically correct May 12 22:04:33 `reference-rootfs.rst:30:Inline emphasis start-string without end-string.` May 12 22:04:46 I see some italics where there shouldn't be. I'll have a closer look tomorrow. May 12 22:05:09 I think you need to shove a `\` in front of that `*` May 12 22:05:09 @reivilibre, Ok. Thanks May 12 22:05:26 👍 May 12 22:05:32 You can test it locally on your machine as well, instructions are in the README.md May 12 22:05:43 👍 May 13 00:58:11 philthy was added by: philthy May 13 01:13:28 👍 May 13 01:14:24 http://README.md **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun May 13 03:00:06 2018
