10:25 <Madda> Hi, I saw in your news posts that someone had got Maemo Leste working on a Gemini PDA. Are there any instructions anywhere for how to do that? (approx skill level in this area was enough to get SailfishOS installed on it)

10:33 <gnarface> Madda: stick around, slow channel, check the links in /topic

10:53 <Wizzup> I think someone had maemo leste running with some other kernel and libhybris, iirc, but this was I think 3 years ago

10:55 <Wizzup> I might be conflating this with the fxtec 1 proof of concept that someone did

10:55 <Wizzup> in any case the same person got some form of maemo leste running on the gemini, so he might still be able to help

10:56 <Madda> gnarface: That's OK, I'm used to slow channels- been on IRC long enough to know not to join, ask, wait 20 minutes, then leave, ne'er to return.

10:56 <Madda> Wizzup: Thanks, I'll take a look!

10:58 <sicelo> if you have Telegram, i can give you a room you'll find them quickly

11:01 <Wizzup> but in general if you can get debian running on it, you can make maemo leste run on it I'd say

13:36 <Gary__> nice and these Gemini's have 4g! https://neilzone.co.uk/2021/06/gemini-pda-running-debian-a-properly-portable-computer/

14:13 <Madda> sicelo: I don't use telegram, I'm afraid.

14:14 <Madda> However, running Debian on it is fully supported so yeah, I realised I'd overlooked that and it might actually be easier to get started than I thought. I'll have to set aside some time to explore.

14:15 <Madda> Gary: Yeah, it's relatively nice with Sailfish on it. Not entirely great (and Jolla seem to be dying/dead so I'm eyeing alternatives) in some ways (the phone always seems to pick the wrong microphone for some reason), but the keyboard is reasonable.

14:15 <Madda> Also, I kinda want something that will accept debs again- IIRC, Jolla uses rpms.

14:22 <Gary__> Madda: hope you can get it going. In comparison the gemini keyboard looks to have way more functions that say the pinephone keyboard.
