LesteTesterHello! Want to test Maemo-Leste on old N900 but do not know how backup original installation in case flashing go wrong. Could anyone point to according docu please? Sorry my English.07:38
freemangordonLesteTester: 'original installation' is on onenand flash, while you boot leste from uSD card, so there is no need to flash anything07:47
LesteTesterWiki only says "Only do this if you do not care about the existing maemo07:51
LesteTester installation or you know how to recover from this condition" but07:51
LesteTesternothing else (https://leste.maemo.org/Nokia_N90007:51
LesteTesterSorry my internet bad07:52
freemangordonjust install u-boot from fremantle.07:53
freemangordonto 'recover' you will have to install stock kernel image07:53
freemangordonthe same procedure, but different kernel07:54
DevuanTesterThank you, freemangordon. So when follow Wiki this only replace kernel? Flash not replace total OS?08:00

arno11freemangordon: no troubles atm with new connui stuff15:03
kivaOn the road with Pinephone and have to crop picture tooked with Pinhole. Any tool recomended? Gimp does not work, starts but cannot use menu, not even with mouse.15:55
kivagThumb 3.2.8 should have crop, but Maemo Leste Chimera stable apt-get gThumb version is 3.11.2 and does not have crop, but anyway it working very well with Pinephone and looks picture viewer and size/format changer.16:14
kivaahh..it has crop, but stupid menu under brush icon does not show if you dont use scrollbutton with mouse..too hard scroll pixel wide sidebar with touch.16:18
kivaAnd is enough space for all icons if design better. I think with small redesign it would fit even for N900 screen.16:29
kivaand use with it's pen for small icons of N900 screen. Droid4 they can be enough big for touch. So if somebody can make gThumb for Maemo, you would recomented to try.16:32
kivaanyway I could crop picture with gThumb with Pinephone with usb-mouse.16:35
inkyjust to tell you that comics-daily won't work at least i'll update it, because gocomics.com changed the website. which was stable for a decade i think.17:15
inkythey struggled for 2 days to make the upgrade, the site didn't work for so long, and now i see they have another unpublished api.17:16
newbieHello, can anyone plz point me to info documenting max size for microSD card for N900?19:16
arno11newbie: hi, at least 512GB works :P19:21
newbieThank you! 1024GB also has been reported work?19:22
arno11no idea, sorry19:22
newbieOk, will try 512Gb. Thank you all so much, you great. Thanks working on N900, greatest "phone" made ever :-).19:23
arno11newbie: be careful btw, U1 are usually too slow for N900 with Leste, U3 sandisk extrem or similar should be fine19:26
sixwheeledbeastOfficially it was only SDHC which is 32GB. Beyond that was unofficial but working SDXC which is 2TB.20:04
newbie90Thanks for info, @]sixwheeledbeast, I only read first post https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96004 but not second :-).20:35
mkfhello!22:29
mkfi'm back at home.22:30
mkfarno11: tried maemo-gpt, nice program. how does it work?22:30
arno11ty :) 'how does it work ?' you mean how to use it or how it works technically ?22:33
mkfhow to use it22:42
mkfdo i need an open ai api key?22:42
arno11yes unfortunately22:42
arno11if you put a key in the config file, it just works22:43
mkfi see.22:48
mkfis there a reason for gtk2? compatablity with frementle?22:48
arno11that's just to keep a lightweight app22:49
arno11could work on Fremantle but tls1.3 is the problem22:50
arno11maemo-gpt targets are n900, pi zero/pi1/pi2 or similar22:53
arno11useless on more powerful devices which can deal easely with python3 and nodejs22:54
mkfanything wrong with, say qt5?23:30
arno11i'm personally not a big fan of qt5, too much cpu and ram usage for almost nothing23:38
arno11i mean that's maybe perfect for quicker development and cross platform but really too heavy for devices like n900 with small basic apps23:43
arno11hm really crazy... few basic qt5 apps uses lot of ram and swap on n900 while you can easely run a pcsx game and a picodrive game at the same time...23:53
arno11*few basic qt5 apps running @same time23:55
Wizzupon chimaera and daedalus?23:58
arno11currently on daedalus23:59
arno11but it was similar in chimaera23:59
