guys i though I would get leste alongside the fremantle when follwing https://leste.maemo.org/Nokia_N900#Quick. it seems I cant not use fremantle when I do sudo ./0xFFFF -m test/u-boot-2013.04-2.bin -f
<recyclehero>
I am okay with that but I just want to know can I easily use the fm trasnmitter as this is the main resaon I bought this device
<recyclehero>
2nd questions: are your uboots also this dim? I have to turn on a flashlight to see the texts!
arno11 has joined #maemo-leste
<buZz>
recyclehero: you dont have to do that step
<buZz>
and i believe FM transmitter isnt working yet in leste, but could be wrong
<recyclehero>
so everytime I want leste I should boot from 0xffff
<recyclehero>
?
<arno11>
FM transmit works
<buZz>
recyclehero: or read the page? > If you have a functional Fremantle installation, you can follow these steps instead:
<buZz>
arno11: ah! cool
<arno11>
just it is disable
<arno11>
in kernerl config
<arno11>
*kernel
<arno11>
i forgot to ask Wizzup and fmg if they'd like to activate it again
<arno11>
recyclehero: it is easier to use the "existing Fremantle" process to enjoy Leste :)
<recyclehero>
arno11: I see you have some sort of daily/weekly jenkins builds, it meen you can recompile the kernel and also is there any UI for transmitiing songs like fremantle?
<recyclehero>
yeah but it didnt say how to install U-Boot with kernel 2.6.28-omap1
<buZz>
i think thats in fremantle
<arno11>
for the moment there is no gui to transmit sound unfortunately
<arno11>
yes uboot must be installed from fremantle
<recyclehero>
arno11: I will figure out something in cmd
<recyclehero>
arno11: since I didnt installed anything on that whats the process? internet and then apt-get install x?
<recyclehero>
is the repositories even working for meamo5?!
<arno11>
what PR version you have on fremantle ?
<recyclehero>
about phone: version: 10.2010.19-1.003
<recyclehero>
I just bought it and dont know what PR it corresponds to
<arno11>
ok i understand
<arno11>
there is a starter guide on maemo.org iirc
<arno11>
let me have a look
akossh has joined #maemo-leste
<arno11>
i think it is N900 the perfect setup
<arno11>
on maemo.org website
<recyclehero>
yeah I've seen it
<recyclehero>
the problem is all this working site(maemo.org) links are to not working links hosted on nokia.com
<buZz>
archive.org exists :P
<recyclehero>
they cant be retrieved by wayback machine
<arno11>
ok i see
<buZz>
aw
<arno11>
i don't remember where are working repositories
<recyclehero>
and I dont get it why this PR things matters and why they say flashing should be incremental
<arno11>
that's long and complicated to explain
<recyclehero>
I would really appreciate if I could hear that from the guy who compiles the kernel
<arno11>
so i see why you want to use the fist method
<recyclehero>
yes cause I still dont now how to install kernel x + uboot as mentioned. I even dont know how try if my PR is the latest one by chance. apt-get install [distro kernel] whats the name of this kernel package
<arno11>
from fremantle you must use application manager to avoid mistakes
<arno11>
and looks for kernel power
<arno11>
and uboot
<recyclehero>
thanks as I'm not a gui person I didnt think of that. the simple way stupid me thanks arno11
<arno11>
i understand but to find the right files you need from your pr version (seems to be pr1.2 and very old) it is the best way
<arno11>
and honestly i don't remember well this old process.
<recyclehero>
thanks I will try to boot with a temp uboot and see if i can bring leste on this 64fb sdcard
<recyclehero>
gb
<arno11>
ok otherwise i think you need to flash pr1.3 directly
<arno11>
found it on flagnet.net/downloads/telephone/n900/
<buZz>
btw, there is still #maemo
<buZz>
with fremantle users
<arno11>
yes definitly

I will use leste soon and btw this link wont work. should I use wayback
<recyclehero>
leste question: should xz images be decompressed and written to sdcard?
<recyclehero>
I am using lineage android as the card reader and dont have xzcat
<recyclehero>
it will decompress to 32gbs?
<buZz>
likely to 2 or 4GB
<buZz>
highly doubt >4
<recyclehero>
great thanks
<buZz>
you can decompress xz by hand too i guess
<recyclehero>
yeah I should do it on pc adb push then dd as there is no xz util on andorid but thats my problem
<buZz>
pc doesnt have a microsd card reader?
<sicelo>
recyclehero: fm transmitter is working. the instructions are in wiki ... look at the table, under fm transmitter
<recyclehero>
buZz: sony vgn-gw548f and my card reader is dead
<recyclehero>
sicelo: thanks
<sicelo>
arno11: um ... it got disabled now?
<buZz>
RIP
<sicelo>
recyclehero: if you're not going to be using Fremantle you don't really need to update it to any PR. uboot can be installed on what version of Fremantle you have
<arno11>
sicelo: yes it is disable
<sicelo>
it was enabled in the past
<arno11>
yes indeed
<arno11>
and not anymore
<recyclehero>
arno11: please enable it. what was the decision process for disabling a kernel config of an exsiting hardware?
<arno11>
i don't know i'm not a dev just a user
<arno11>
i think it is not a decision just a mistake
<sicelo>
you could create an issue on github requesting that
<arno11>
true lol
<arno11>
Wizzup: sicelo: i found why there is the weird 15 sec bug for incoming calls
<arno11>
cmtspeech is only looking for ofono AudioSetting states and there is nothing reporting "pick up/answering calls"
<Wizzup>
good find
<arno11>
cmtspeech must look in ofono "VoiceCall" state
<arno11>
yes :)
<Wizzup>
right, sphone has code for this that we could borrow perhaps
<recyclehero>
i saw somewhere that there is 32gb sdcard limitation
dreamer has joined #maemo-leste
<sicelo>
no idea about such limitation
<sicelo>
did you burn image correctly? downloaded correctly?
<sicelo>
confirm checksums
<recyclehero>
I did the write I android ana accessed the sdcard from the andorid vold not the mmcblock. it wrote 2.4gb then now 2.9gb and I have leste and latest kernel on a 2009 device. :) my bad thanks
<freemangordon>
recyclehero: I have 2 n900 here, one with 64 the other with 128 GB uSD cards

Wizzup: dunno, does it make sense? With no modern browser that's able to run on n900...
<sicelo>
i don't think lack of browser disqualifies it. i guess Leste is more than just a browser.
<sicelo>
of course, emmc images might not be worth the trouble due to other reasons
<sicelo>
they could be useful though in case someone's sd card reader is broken -- i have a device with that here
