Feb 09 19:50:21 <rosko> Hi
Feb 09 19:50:46 <rosko> Can someone tell me how to load gta01_battery module?
Feb 09 19:51:24 <rosko> With  modprobe gta01_battery it says modprobe: not found
Feb 09 20:14:44 <jluis> roskoant, I think that gta01 uses platform battery 
Feb 09 20:16:33 <roskoant> i'am using GTA02 hardware
Feb 09 20:17:28 <roskoant> here are the commands
Feb 09 20:17:51 <roskoant> http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Battery_Questions_and_Answers#Using_compatible_batteries_with_gta02
Feb 09 20:19:57 <jluis> that page is for older kernels 
Feb 09 20:20:23 <roskoant> can you give me the page for new kernels if you know it
Feb 09 20:20:31 <jluis> what kernel are you using
Feb 09 20:20:41 <roskoant> Since kernel 2.6.29
Feb 09 20:20:42 <jluis> & distro
Feb 09 20:20:46 <roskoant> kernel**
Feb 09 20:20:56 <roskoant> kernel 2.6.29
Feb 09 20:21:08 <roskoant> amd distro Antroid Cupcake
Feb 09 20:22:01 <roskoant> omg..
Feb 09 20:22:07 <roskoant> and** not amd
Feb 09 20:23:29 <jluis> sorry I don't know the android kernels they have the bq2700 as a module?
Feb 09 20:23:53 <roskoant> yes i think
Feb 09 20:24:22 <roskoant> how to load a module in android
Feb 09 20:24:46 <roskoant> the command modprobe didn't work on my prohe
Feb 09 20:24:46 <PaulFertser> roskoant: platform_battery is the new module name
Feb 09 20:24:57 <roskoant> yes..
Feb 09 20:25:09 <roskoant> but nothing happen
Feb 09 20:25:35 <PaulFertser> roskoant: are you sure, have you checked /sys/class/power_supply ?
Feb 09 20:25:43 <roskoant> i'm typing in console modprobe platform_battery
Feb 09 20:26:35 <roskoant> wait i'll check /sys/class/power_supply
Feb 09 20:27:54 <roskoant> it says invalid lenght
Feb 09 20:28:13 <roskoant> checked cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/uevent
Feb 09 20:28:16 <roskoant> checked cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/uevent
Feb 09 20:28:46 <roskoant> and its seems to use bq27000 driver :S
Feb 09 20:30:05 <jluis> have you unbind the bq27 batery first?
Feb 09 20:30:15 <roskoant> yes I do
Feb 09 20:30:28 <roskoant> echo bq27000-battery.0 > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/bq27000-battery/unbind
Feb 09 20:30:35 <roskoant> and then
Feb 09 20:30:46 <roskoant> modprobe gta01_battery
Feb 09 20:31:05 <roskoant> but it says that mdprobe isn't found
Feb 09 20:31:17 <roskoant> modprobe(
Feb 09 20:33:27 <PaulFertser> roskoant: modprobe itself is not found? What system is that? :)
Feb 09 20:33:56 <PaulFertser> roskoant: also i've just told you in all modern kernels the driver is called platform_battery, not gta01_battery.
Feb 09 20:34:15 <roskoant> i know
Feb 09 20:34:25 <roskoant> but 
Feb 09 20:34:46 <roskoant> modprobe itself not found on Android 1.5 Cupcake | kernel 1.6.29
Feb 09 20:35:31 <PaulFertser> roskoant: use insmod then
Feb 09 20:35:49 <roskoant> OK
Feb 09 20:35:58 <roskoant> but where the module is located itself
Feb 09 20:35:59 <roskoant> ?
Feb 09 20:36:06 <PaulFertser> And ask your android fellows about where the hell they lost the modprobe utility. 
Feb 09 20:36:19 <roskoant> :D
Feb 09 20:36:31 <PaulFertser> roskoant: /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/power/platform_battery.ko i guess
Feb 09 20:36:52 <PaulFertser> Did they also dispense the find utility?
Feb 09 20:38:06 <PaulFertser> s/the/with the/
Feb 09 20:38:06 <apt> PaulFertser meant: Did with they also dispense the find utility?
Feb 09 20:38:12 <PaulFertser> Damn
Feb 09 20:38:18 <roskoant> can`t open it
Feb 09 20:38:27 * PaulFertser should use ``ed'' more
Feb 09 20:39:38 <roskoant> in console: insmod /kernel/drivers/power/platform_battery.ko
Feb 09 20:39:53 <roskoant> ant it says insmod: can't open .....
Feb 09 20:40:00 <PaulFertser> roskoant: what about the uname -r part?
Feb 09 20:40:30 <roskoant> everything?
Feb 09 20:40:37 <roskoant> like you wrote it
Feb 09 20:40:55 <PaulFertser> 2.6.29? probably it had an older version called gta01_battery
Feb 09 20:41:10 <PaulFertser> roskoant: i did write that driver in fact
Feb 09 20:41:14 <roskoant> yes - 2.6.29
Feb 09 20:41:24 <roskoant> you are guro ;)
Feb 09 20:41:43 <roskoant> it's normal :D
Feb 09 20:42:11 <PaulFertser> damn, you should try googling for "guro", that's not what you think it is...
Feb 09 20:42:57 <roskoant> fu** cant open again
Feb 09 20:43:12 <PaulFertser> roskoant: use the find utility, search for files having ``battery'' in it
Feb 09 20:43:35 <roskoant> # find
Feb 09 20:43:35 <roskoant> find: not found
Feb 09 20:43:48 <roskoant> in fact, the found utility is gone also (rofl)
Feb 09 20:43:50 <PaulFertser> Android is so sick!
Feb 09 20:44:42 <roskoant> i have the FS 
Feb 09 20:44:53 <roskoant> if search in it?
Feb 09 20:44:58 <PaulFertser> would work
Feb 09 20:46:05 <roskoant> low battery.ogg - music...
Feb 09 20:46:27 <roskoant> and nothing again
Feb 09 20:47:05 <roskoant> this distro is so sick, it's true
Feb 09 20:50:16 <roskoant> what to do now?
Feb 09 20:55:16 <PaulFertser> roskoant: check your kernel config then, probably it lacks the needed module.
Feb 09 20:55:52 <roskoant> i have the kernel configured and compiled, how to check its config?
Feb 09 20:56:25 <roskoant> from command prompt?
Feb 09 21:01:10 <jluis> roskoant, have you tried asking on #android-on-freerunner
Feb 09 21:01:48 <roskoant> tried but for other things
Feb 09 21:02:35 <roskoant> on android channel, there are noone, or maybe 15-20 users in the room
Feb 09 21:03:55 <PaulFertser> That's because nobody needs android ;)
Feb 09 21:04:20 <roskoant> aahahahha
Feb 09 21:04:21 <PaulFertser> roskoant: just less .config in the kernel sources and see for yourself
Feb 09 21:04:21 <roskoant> :D
Feb 09 21:04:32 <roskoant> ok
Feb 09 21:04:41 <roskoant> i plan to up Debian
Feb 09 21:05:03 <roskoant> because the only good working android is 1.5 which is veery old
Feb 09 21:05:30 <roskoant> so what is package repository for Debian? big/small
Feb 09 21:05:48 <PaulFertser> Really? Were those AoF folks doing nothing all these years?
Feb 09 21:06:08 <PaulFertser> Basically same as for other architectures.
Feb 09 21:07:07 <roskoant> hmm.. android Froyo is very slow on my GTA02 so I uploaded 1.5 which is OK but old
Feb 09 21:07:16 <roskoant> and
Feb 09 21:07:40 <roskoant> as you see, there's no driver gta01_battery :S
Feb 09 21:08:11 <PaulFertser> roskoant: come on, there's 
Feb 09 21:08:15 <PaulFertser> roskoant: check your kernel config
Feb 09 21:08:42 <roskoant> also no "uname" and "find" etc..
Feb 09 21:08:54 <roskoant> ok I'll check it if I find it..
Feb 09 21:17:09 <roskoant> no luck... can't find it
