Wizzupsicelo: great @ upower00:03
arno11freemangordon: @mafw, sorry it is not really relevant to test on my device (mafw blocked, no OMP, no media compatible with)08:34
freemangordonwell, then all of your tests are more or less irrelevant09:41
freemangordonbecause what we do is supposed to make vanilla usable :)09:42
arno11hmm...good to know10:09
freemangordonarno11: the point is that if you test with half of the stuff disabled and say 'it is ok', but we get reports from other users that use vanilla images, we don't why the difference - is it because yours differ from vanilla or because the other user did something stupid11:27
crabshould i assume that the daedalus images (for n900) are too new?11:41
crabi have the gui up and it looks reasonable but it seems unresponsive.11:42
crab(20250331)11:42
sicelocrab: two things12:03
crabsicelo: dont worry, i re-read what freemangordon told me yesterday and im trying the latest chimaera12:04
sicelo1. mount the card somewhere, and modify the swap entry by removing /dev/mmcblk... and using /swap (or is it /swap-file? ... the correct12:06
siceloah, ok12:06
crabalthough even now its being a bit weird.12:06
crabi saw the famous nokia wallpaper, that was then replaced by the notice about growing the filesystem / ssh12:07
crabbut now the screens gone black and i cant get the display back to do anything12:07
siceloactually, what i said above is still valid even for chimaera12:18
sicelothen (2) the very first boot is excrutiating, yes. you need to be really patient, and not interact with the UI in any way for quite some time. 10 minutes sounds fine :p12:19
siceloand of course, the throughput of your SD card also plays a major role. use the best card you have access to12:19
arno11freemangordon: well, i still don't know how i was supposed to be aware of your work on vanilla but anyway12:27
arno11crab: unfortunately all n900 img's are actually broken12:28
arno11you can tweak few of them to get it responsive but none of them are perfect12:29
arno11i recommand you the last daedalus you mentioned and switch to sdcard swap before the first boot12:30
arno11and as sicelo said: the most important thing is the sd card you use12:31
arno11if too slow, no way to get something usable12:31
crabits actually behaving now.12:33
crabalthough i would like to know how to ensure the mac address stays the same12:33
arno11sorry but you run chimaera or daedalus ?12:34
crabchimaera12:34
crabit may stay the same but it is different from what it was when i reinstalled it.12:34
siceloarno11: what fmg means (by 'vanilla') is ... if you're doing the kind of tests that influence implementation/architecture decisions, then you need to be running 'vanilla,' i.e. unmodified Leste12:34
crabwe will see.12:34
arno11sicelo: thx for clarifications12:35
Wizzupsorry guys for not taking care of the n900 swap thing yet12:37
WizzupI'm getting to it, I promise :)12:37
arno11crab: chimaera is broken actually (long to explain)12:38
arno11Wizzup: :)12:38
WizzupI've been dealing with a bunch of bureacracy, but it's almost over :)12:38
arno11argh...bureaucracy...12:39
arno11good luck man12:40
Wizzup:D12:40
sicelocrab: MAC address stuff is a bit broken for now. if you're in the mood to try unmerged work, you can have a look at https://github.com/maemo-leste/wl1251-cal/pull/112:43
crabsicelo: thanks12:44
crabi think ill quit while im ahead12:44
crabchimaera seems a bit glitchy for sure, but its a lot better when you actually sort the clock out.12:44
crabi think it may be suitable for my uses12:44
Wizzuphttps://git.maemo.org/leste/wl1251-cal/pulls/112:45
siceloheh, actually that MR is working fine. i have used it for weeks12:45
Wizzupmaybe we just merge it?12:45
siceloi think so, yes12:47
sicelo it does need https://github.com/maemo-leste/leste-config/pull/56 to be done correctly as well12:47
Wizzuphttps://git.maemo.org/leste/leste-config/pulls/5612:49
Wizzupsicelo: can you comment on the undisplace/maint stuff there12:49
siceloyou were going to redo this MR :p12:52
Wizzupah12:53
Wizzuplol :)12:53
sicelothe aim is to remove the mac stuff from leste-config. any efficient/correct way to achieve it is acceptable to me12:56
Wizzupall you need to do is remove the file and run gen-displace12:58
Wizzupleste-config will automatically remove previously displaced files afaik12:58
sicelolet me try get that done tonight (left the N900 at home)13:00
crabwell chimaera seems pretty good to me.13:04
Wizzupdaedalus will be better :)13:04
crabive got ipv6 working, nfs mounting my home drive,13:05
crabthe swap is using the partition on my mmc which is pretty handy imho13:05
crabno real complaints apart from the weird messages about multiple configured stuff in the sources13:05
crab(and i dont even mind that, because when i attempted the dist-upgrade i saw those too, and blamed it on the dist-upgrade!)13:06
crabyeah perhaps daedalus would have been fine. maybe i was just too impatient with the first boot.13:06
Wizzupyeah, those messages will remain for a bit13:08
Wizzupno, daedalus boot is broken atm until I fix swap13:08
Wizzupswap config more specifically13:08
ashleywho's maintaining the Leste wiki software? I'm mostly just asking because I pushed a few exciting (well, IMO ;) patches to the Maemo skin (which totally should be the default skin on the Leste wiki as well!), and also MediaWiki 1.36 hasn't been supported in a while IIRC; 1.39 is the legacy LTS version and 1.43 is the current LTS version13:27
WizzupI guess I do13:27
Wizzuphappy to find additional maintainers though13:27
WizzupI can look into upgrading it13:28
Wizzupashley: if it's not too much trouble can you file an issue here? https://git.maemo.org/leste/bugtracker/issues13:28
ashleyawesome :D should be a fairly straightforward process; will do, just gimme a few minutes :)13:28
ashley(re:the skin -- since the Leste wiki had the top navigation menu customized, as the original was hardcoded, I made that way more customizable without having to hack the skin: https://git.legoktm.com/ashley/mediawiki-skins-Maemo/commit/d676fc60d1c31015e98f72315cfca13dc342a804 ; fairly neat stuff, and didn't take too many minutes because I could just lift off code I had previously written for a different skin :P)13:29
Wizzupcool13:33
Wizzupwe could also host the code on git.maemo.org13:33
Wizzupbut it looks like you have a place for it13:33
sicelonice. is there a way for us to preview the skin?13:35
ashleywell, the old/modified version *is* live on the Leste wiki ;) https://leste.maemo.org/Main_Page?useskin=maemo ; re:hosting, that'd actually be neat, that server won't be around too long so I gotta migrate my things somewhere, likely gerrit.wikimedia.org for most of them (but I'm not 100% confident on the licensing of the original Maemo skin, basically the CSS and non-MediaWiki images and such; my code is GPL'd or whatever other free license one may wish13:38
ashleyto use)13:38
siceloah yes that skin looks nice13:43
ashleyhttps://git.maemo.org/leste/bugtracker/issues/772 now filed, finally :P took me long enough13:54
Wizzupty :)13:54
ashleythe pleasure's all mine, I love nothing more than seeing active, maintained, up-to-date wikis using MediaWiki ;)13:55
Wizzup:D14:13
uvos__can i haz push access again to the parts i worked on alot in the past? i know i not terribly active atm, but i do not intend this to be a permanent state of affairs14:51
Wizzupuvos__: yes of course14:59
Wizzupcan you give a list? I can also do it from memory :)14:59
uvos__i can only really do it from memory too, my memory is: mce, mce's related controlpannel applets (like the display-applet),  sphone, droid4-linux, salutem, mapphone bootloader related things (like clownboot/ kexec modules/ kexecboot config files)15:02
uvos__Wizzup: here is the actual list: uvos.xyz/list.png15:08
uvos__https://uvos.xyz/list.png15:09
Wizzupwill do it momentarily15:10
uvos__should be obvious who i am on the gitea instance...15:11
Wizzupyup :)15:19
Wizzupuvos__: almost done (halfway)15:29
Wizzupuvos__: done15:32
freemangordonarno11: it was not meant to be personal, sorry if you felt it like that. Re vanilla - by vanilla I mean "image one can download". And while those are broken currently, that will be hopefully fixed soon. So I appreciate your feedback on testing various n900 parts, however, I think we must try to make everything functional (be it mafw, tracker, whatever) on n900, if we say "we support n900"15:49
freemangordonthe other option is to drop n900 support, but I don;t think anyone wants that15:50
arno11just misunderstanding, sorry15:58
Wizzup:)16:05
freemangordonhttps://github.com/libcgroup/libcgroup/issues/47816:08
Wizzupthey are fast at least :)16:08
sicelowe're definitely not at the point where N900 should be dropped. i have a low-quality SD card, but Leste runs acceptably :-)16:29
arno11:)16:39
n900sicelo: thank goodness for trhat.17:17
sicelouvos__: talking about sphone, https://git.maemo.org/leste/sphone/pulls/1017:35
kivasicelo, if fixing keyboard regressions in daedalus with D4, add also F11 somewhere (it is altG+esc with Pinephone Keyboard), it is Firefox fullscreen button and it would make Firefox-esr much bettter for D4.21:27
siceloi don't think i'll have time for it ... already got my hands full with a lot of stuff. i can suggest opening an issue on git.maemo.org though21:29
kiva97I dont get it...git.maemo.org ways me to some Forgejo page..21:33
siceloyes, it is a forgejo instance :-)21:34
siceloissues can be opened here, https://git.maemo.org/leste/bugtracker/issues21:34
kiva97I dont have user there and seems there is no new user button. If somebody is locked in, can copy that what I wrote little upper with better english :)21:39
siceloWizzup: uvos__: i don't think we still need this, https://git.maemo.org/leste/hildon-desktop-rotation-support ... seems like something that should go to https://git.maemo.org/leste-deprecated21:40
sicelokiva97: you can login with your Github credentials iirc21:40
kiva97I don use Github, it is owned by M$.21:41
siceloalright21:42
arno11Wizzup: i tried to push some stuff to picodrive but i get permission denied for writing. could you give me back perms for picodrive, pcsx, drnoksnes and pierogi please ?21:59
Wizzuparno11: of course22:28
Wizzupsicelo: agreed, we can move it to leste-deprecated?22:28
arno11Wizzup: cool22:38
siceloWizzup: yes, sounds correct to me.22:46
Wizzuparno11: I will do it soon23:02
arno11ok ty23:16
