freemangordon: I just ran u-boot-update-bootmenu from freemantle, it didn't seem to change anything
<Wizzup>
I think you should be able to select 'boot from sd card' or something
<Wizzup>
ac_laptop: I'm too late to tell you this now, but if you flash it directly like that, there is (I think) a chance that you cannot boot to fremantle anymore, as I think that is normally where the attached kernel resides, but I might be wrong
<freemangordon>
did you add the appropriate entry in /etc/bootmenu.d ?
<Wizzup>
nothing that can't be fixed, but fyi (also I might be wrong :) )
<Wizzup>
freemangordon: I am not sure if we have this documents on our wiki
<freemangordon>
Wizzup: yes, you are right
<Wizzup>
documented*
<ac_laptop>
freemangordon: no, I'll try :)
<freemangordon>
it is documented in u-boot
<Wizzup>
sure, but that's another place to search :)

Wizzup: iproute2: it's one PR (just split into to two commits. they can be squashed if necessary), and yes, i think it is safe to add an explicit dependency on iproute2, otherwise it seems something else in the system already pulls it in
<ac_laptop>
should ${EXT_CARD} expand to /etc/mmcblk0 under freemantle ?
<Wizzup>
sicelo: ok, shall I make the debian/control change, or will you?
<ac_laptop>
Wizzup: well it doesn't
<Pali>
ac_laptop: "./0xFFFF -m u-boot-2020.12-pali.bin -l" this just loads image into volatile RAM, it does not flash image nor boot it; use -f for flashing or -b for booting from RAM
<sicelo>
Wizzup: may i ask you to? :-)
<ac_laptop>
Wizzup: you confirm I should replace ${EXT_CARD} with /dev/mmcblk0 in this case ? not just mmcblk0 ?
<Wizzup>
sicelo: ok, sure
<Wizzup>
ac_laptop: my reply was to 'did I flash it somewhere to eMMC', and I corrected it to yes, to nand, not emmc
<Wizzup>
I don't know about the expansion of ${EXT_CARD}, what is the context
<ac_laptop>
maybe it's a variable thats interpreted by u-boot
<ac_laptop>
I'll leave it
<ac_laptop>
It works !
<Wizzup>
great
arno11 has left #maemo-leste [#maemo-leste]
<sicelo>
what i wanted to look at some time is - it should be possible to run the u-boot scripts from inside leste, i.e. without needing to boot into fremantle
<sicelo>
i.e. u-boot-update-bootmenu
<ac_laptop>
Which type of microSD do you use to run leste ? I'm using a 32GB class-10 U-1 , I'll try to get my hands on a class-10 U-3 to see if it's better
<ac_laptop>
Anyway I just want to say that I already like the features that this Maemo Leste is bringing, such as the bash by default, the sudo su in place of the old gainroot , and the fact that the timezone is saved instead of having to set it every time the battery is removed. Keep up the good work !
