eddybis anyone around? I can't get Nemo to boot (I asked in #mer already, I'm hoping there's some people here and not there that can help me)11:28
iekkuhaven't tried with smaller than 8GB card11:30
eddybdoes it really need all that space?11:31
iekkuhmm, i think it needs some space to run everything needed11:32
eddybiekku: also, the error is intriguing, maybe there's something wrong in how I've done it? I've swapped the placements of the FAT32 and ext4 partitions, so FAT32 is now the first instead of that last. could that break it?11:33
iekkui don't have any idea11:34
*** araujo has quit IRC11:37
kimjueddyb, is the partition numbers in original order?11:38
eddybnope, that's what I said11:38
eddybdoes it really matter?11:38
*** araujo has joined #nemomobile11:38
kimjuyes. the physical placement in the media does not, but the partition numbers yes.11:39
eddybmmc init in uboot says "no mmc found" :|11:39
kimjuas it tries to find the kernel and root fs from partition number X.11:39
*** nsuffys has quit IRC11:40
eddybkimju: so, ext4 => 1, swap => 2, fat32 => 3?11:40
kimjuif that is the original order then yes.11:40
eddybhow can I swap two partitions?11:42
*** jd has joined #nemomobile11:43
kimjuby editing the partition table :)11:43
*** jd has quit IRC11:43
*** jd has joined #nemomobile11:43
eddyblike, I have fdisk open, what can I do to swap the first and the third partition?11:44
kimjuprobably easier to make backups, repartition the card and restore the files to new partitions (and filesystems)11:44
eddybdammit11:44
eddybwhy did you have that stupid order in the first place?11:45
eddybit's not like you're going to want to expand the FAT32 partition...11:45
*** Jade has quit IRC11:45
eddybhttp://superuser.com/questions/357105/linux-fdisk-change-order-of-partitions11:47
eddybwait, does mer/Nemo use zypper?11:53
eddybthank God, finally something decent, apt-get was killing me11:53
*** Tofe has joined #nemomobile11:57
TofeHi !11:57
TofeNow that my tegra2 tablet is repaired, I'm retrying to make nemo run on it11:58
TofeBut there seems to be a problem: it fails with the message "EGL_NOK_image_shared not found but trying to use capability"11:59
TofeThere are two things I don't know here: is this extension a requirement for Nemo ? Because I can run PlasmaActive with the same X server; and is there a way to list the EGL extensions of an X server ?12:01
*** DocScrutinizer has quit IRC12:01
Tofe(and it's strange that this quite common extension isn't there in the Tegra2 implementation...)12:01
*** DocScrutinizer has joined #nemomobile12:02
eddybkimju: I'm redoing the microSD, had to create the first partition small then expand it, to fit the space12:10
*** jukkaeklund___ has joined #nemomobile12:12
*** jukkaeklund_ has quit IRC12:15
*** rZr is now known as RzR12:15
eddybkimju: microSD has now the same (physical and logical) order as the original12:46
kimjuok, does it work now? :)12:47
eddybbut mmc init in uboot still says it can't find a microSD card12:47
kimjuwhat hardware?12:47
eddybmaybe I should try accessing the card in Maemo and see if it can read it12:47
eddybN90012:47
kimjuis your back cover in place?12:48
eddybyepp (not sure how it can detect it, but it's there)12:48
kimjuthere is small magnet embedded in the back cover.12:49
kimjunext to the sd-card slot12:49
eddyboh12:49
eddybthat might explain a thing or two, but not uboot failing to see the mmc12:50
kimjucan you pastebin your cards partition table (fdisk -l) and the exact boot message from uboot?12:51
eddybdamn USB12:55
eddybso I unplugged the phone from the charger, now mmc init can see the microSD12:55
eddybbut I still get the "kernel format imcompatible for bootm command"12:55
eddybLULZ12:57
eddybrun mmcboot is borked12:57
eddybbut I can see the Nemo splashscreen if I let it boot12:57
eddybnow, dmesg-style errors: "hci_h4p: FW error / Sending firmware failed."12:58
eddybhci is either bluetooth or usb, AFAIK12:59
eddybkimju: ^^12:59
kimjubluetooth.12:59
kimjuH4+ is protocol to communicate with the bluetooth chip (over serial uart)12:59
eddybit halts with that error on top of the splash screen13:00
kimjujust wait a while13:00
kimjuthat by itself should not prevent it from booting13:00
kimjubut if your sd card is *slow* the booting might take several minutes.13:00
eddybactually, there's more above it: i2c_omap i2c_omap.2: controller timed out / isp_register_subdev_group: Unable to register subdev smia-sensor13:01
eddybkimju: there is still a cursor blinking in that spot, and it's been five minutes since that error showed up13:02
kimjuwith a slow class 4 card (4GB), I've seen first boot taking up to 12 minutes before the desktop is shown and working13:02
eddybfirst boot?13:02
kimjuyes.13:02
eddybmaybe I should reset the ext4 partition and let it boot13:03
kimjuthere are some background tasks that are run at first boot.13:03
eddybsince I think it did two broken boots13:03
eddybthe FAT32 should be intact, I think13:03
eddybnow the microSD->SD adapter doesn't work with my laptop13:07
eddybdamn technology13:07
*** RzR has quit IRC13:09
eddybfrom what dmesg is saying, this card is busted13:09
eddybnevermind, it was acting up13:10
*** rzr has joined #nemomobile13:11
eddybkimju: take two, clean ext4, waiting for first boot to complete13:18
eddybit would be great to have the partition layout changed to boot, swap, root - since boot and swap are going to stay that way, but one might want to extend root. also, if my experiment with 1GB microSD works, the image should be 1GB, with instructions on how to extend the ext4 to the full size of the microSD13:21
eddybdoes pressing the power button during boot do anything other than displaying the log for a few seconds?13:22
eddybkimju: is the root partition hardcoded into the kernel?13:25
kimjudon't remember excatly where it was hardcoded13:27
kimjumight be in the cmdline given by uboot, in kernel or in fstab.13:28
eddybbut you need the root partition for fstab13:29
kimjuunless it is in initrd13:29
eddyb/dev/mmcblk0p1  /  ext4  defaults,noatime 0 013:29
eddybkimju: true13:29
eddybalso, it seems that it doesn't use the swap partition on the mmc. another waste of space13:30
*** DocScrutinizer has quit IRC13:38
eddybkimju: it doesn't have an initrd, and it doesn't have bootargs13:42
*** DocScrutinizer has joined #nemomobile13:43
eddybanyway, that thing is still booting, but I'm afraid it's gonna make a mess, since it can't access the RTC13:44
eddyb(error about rtc0 before all the other messages I mentioned. it also thinks right now is the last hour of '69)13:45
eddybkimju: it's an image specifically for N900, why is there a need for per-user first-boot-process? it's not like the hardware can vary, or something13:50
eddybkimju: can we at least get a syslog progress?13:59
TofeMmmh is there, by any chance, a doc about QMeeGoExtensions ?14:12
*** rcg1 has joined #nemomobile14:29
TofeNevermind my question: the answer isn't needed anymore :)14:31
eddybwow, it's been more than an hour now and the screen of my N900 still hasn't changed14:31
eddybseriously, more than 1h30 and it still shows the blue text14:56
rcg1eddyb: this does not sound right at all15:20
rcg1on n950 and n9 this screen only shows for some seconds15:21
rcg1maybe try copying the rootfs again?15:21
eddybrcg1: this is the second try, the rootfs is clean15:21
eddybit's the dmesg screen, btw15:21
eddybkimju told me that bluetooth error ("hci_h4p: FW error / Sending firmware failed.") is not fatal15:22
kimjuwell, it might prevent bluetooth from working, but shouldn't break anything else15:23
eddybtwo hours and seven minutes15:25
iekkuhmmm15:26
iekkui got my n900 up under 5 minutes with latest image15:26
iekkueddyb, still trying with that 1G card?15:27
eddybyeah15:27
iekkuso we are lacking error notes... :D15:27
eddybI think the bluetooth thing is important, because that's the last thing printed, before this thing went into "log displaying mode"15:28
eddybiekku: are you fucking kidding me?15:28
iekku:D15:28
eddybtell me again how you need half a gigabyte for the first run15:28
eddybor, rather, what do you need it for15:29
eddybit's more like 200MB for me and 3GB for the original, but you understand what I mean15:29
eddybwhat is it doing on the first run *anyway*?15:30
eddybwhat is so use-case-dependent that it can't be done before uploading the image?15:30
iekkuhonestly, i'm not tech savy enough to give any reply15:30
eddybrcg1, kimju: ?15:30
eddybdo you compute bitcoins that you then secretly send to yourselves after connecting to internet?15:31
eddybdo you have a contract with SETI@home?15:31
iekku:D15:32
iekkutrying to check bug list if there's anything usefull15:34
iekkuonly was about n900 and bluetooth not working, but it seems that the nemo is running already15:37
rcg1eddyb: well, actually, i dunno what's going wrong there.. it just seems that even half an hour is much too long15:37
rcg1eddyb: also got an n900 here and want to revive it for playing even more with nemo but i am currently very short of time15:37
rcg1sorry :/15:37
eddybrcg1: from what I understand, the microSD might be full. I am now curious what sort of first-time process is running15:38
jaywalkgood to see some activity in here:) I tried nemo on a n900 the last few days. impressed compared to the initial meego n900 release of 2010!15:39
iekkujaywalk, hoping to get more people involved and get nemo alive :)15:40
eddybjaywalk: you mean maemo?15:40
jaywalkiekku:) I might be interested in helping!15:40
iekkuhas been silent for so long15:40
jaywalkeddyb:) no, I mean meego. maemo is what it has always been running15:40
iekkujaywalk, nice to hear!15:40
eddybjaywalk: ah, I've only gotten my N900 as a gift from a friend that no longer needs it, and it still has maemo15:42
jaywalkmy next experiment will be trying nemo on my samsung Q1 ultra UMPC, that might be interesting:)15:42
jaywalkwhat has the x86 release been tried on so far?15:42
iekkumy husband tried couple of weeks ago with exopc15:44
jaywalkalright, much newer hardware it seem:)15:45
eddybso far I've only found /etc/cron.daily/prelink15:46
jaywalkiekku:) what's the status with nokia n9? I was figuring I might order one today or tomorrow for testing. they're dirt cheap here these days:)15:47
eddyboooh15:47
eddybwait15:47
eddybsudo cp -R part1/* mmc-part115:47
eddybthat's what I did to copy the files15:47
eddybwould that preserve permissions as they were?15:47
jaywalkno, cp doesnt preserve permissions well.15:48
*** Anssi138 has quit IRC15:49
*** Anssi138 has joined #nemomobile15:49
eddybcrap, that might've been it15:50
eddybso, uhm, how can I copy some data from an ext4 to another ext4 while preserving everything?15:50
jaywalkrsync is my weapon of choice:)15:51
jaywalkrsync -av src/ dest/ (beware of how rsync deals with trailing slashes)15:52
rcg1uhm shouldn't "cp -a " preserve permissions?15:53
jaywalkrcg1:) yep, it should! I just default to rsync for almost anything:)15:54
rcg1jaywalk: ;)15:54
eddybrcg1: thanks15:55
rcg1eddyb: yw :)15:56
rcg1jaywalk: yeah, i should also familiarize more with rsync.. i just default to what i know by heart :)15:56
jaywalkrcg1:) that's always the best choice, what you know. but please do, rsync is a very handy tool:)15:59
eddybhint: it writes /tmp/STATE16:00
eddybwhat's timed?16:01
eddyboh, I guess time.d16:01
jaywalkreading up on both mer and nemo, where do I subscribe to the mailing list?16:02
eddybok, ssh keys, that's ok for a first-time16:02
eddybI guess it only managed to generate some ssh keys before it failed because of wrong permissions16:03
jaywalkI'm happy. the whole thing sounds exactly what I would be hoping for. especially if mer core can be held well synced with tizen!16:03
eddyb/tmp/STATE had "USER" in it16:04
*** Tofe has left #nemomobile16:06
eddybyou might want to syslog anything that's broken with the first run16:07
rcg1jaywalk: http://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Mailing_lists16:08
eddybtake three16:10
eddybthe screen went blank, and unlike the last time, I can't press anything to get syslog to show up16:11
rcg1jaywalk: you will find the wiki pretty interesting in general ;)16:11
eddybFUCK YEAH16:11
*** M4rtinK has quit IRC16:11
eddybdesktop in a minute16:11
eddybit actually took me less time on this crappy 1GB microSD16:11
rcg1eddyb: that's how i remeber it.. it _should_ work quite quickly ;)16:11
jaywalkrcg1:) yes the wiki seem very well structured. thanks!:)16:12
rcg1jaywalk: np :)16:12
*** M4rtinK has joined #nemomobile16:18
eddybhow the heck do I exit a window?16:19
eddybI opened the settings and I can't get out16:19
eddybrcg1: plz tell :D16:22
jaywalkin maemo ux? slide from the edge inwards16:23
eddybit's sketchy on the resistive touchscreen N900 has16:24
eddybjaywalk: thanks :D16:24
eddybthere's a full bar at the top, why can't they use that?16:26
eddybdamn UI devs :P16:26
*** eddyb_ has joined #nemomobile16:30
eddyb_ohai16:30
eddyb_nemo here16:30
rcg1eddyb_: :)16:32
eddybit's a bit sluggish because of the MMC, I guess16:34
eddybI would install it to the built-in MMC, only if it wouldn't be this unstable16:40
*** eddyb_ has quit IRC16:40
rcg1eddyb: did you restart at least once?16:44
eddyboh, should I have?16:45
rcg1iirc the installation notes tell you to boot the device fully up, then restart16:45
rcg1this should significantly improve the performance16:45
rcg1just give it a try ;)16:45
eddybso, there's no bluetooth and RTC on N90016:46
rcg1uhm on n900 bluetooth should work.. that's what i was told by someone at least16:47
jaywalkmine is not recognized in the ui or with hcitool dev16:47
eddybok, why isn't it booting now?16:47
jaywalk(re bluetooth)16:47
rcg1try to look a little around in the settings16:47
eddyblike, second boot is similar to my failed take, when it just wouldn't go past the blue screen16:48
eddyb:(16:48
eddybrcg1: why doesn't the first-boot-thingie reboot the device anyway?16:49
eddybmicrosoft is smart enough to do that :P16:49
rcg1hmm sounds strange16:49
eddybwait, did it just shutdown?16:50
rcg1hehe, yeah that could be the case16:50
rcg1eddyb: btw, afaik, nemo is still in very much development.. so there may be still some quirks16:50
eddybI know what that means16:51
rcg1please correct me if i am mistaken guys and gals16:51
eddybhaving worked on USB drivers - there's quirks everywhere :P16:51
rcg1eddyb: alright :)16:51
eddybit looks like I managed to shut it down at the blue screen, without taking out the battery16:52
eddybstill halts there16:52
eddybit shuts down if I hold the power button long enough16:52
eddybrcg1: lol, why is /home/nemo 500 500 instead of 1000 1000?16:55
rcg1eddyb: dunno.. i am not that deep into the details yet ;)16:56
eddyblets see if chown 1000:1000 fixed that16:56
eddybyeah, looks like it16:57
eddybhopefully it won't happen every time I reboot it16:57
eddybfinally, zypper on that toy17:01
*** eddyb_ has joined #nemomobile17:10
*** eddyb_ has quit IRC17:17
eddybnote to self: don't open the back-side of the phone while it's using the MMC17:19
eddybI managed to freeze Nemo17:19
eddybthe good news is that there are no more problems, it booted just fine17:20
jaywalkgreat!17:22
eddybbut... what's Mad Developer?17:23
eddyb(bug report: some icons are actually colored squares, maybe you're missing something from the image?)17:23
rcg1eddyb: lol... you just disconnected the mmc this way :)17:25
*** arcean_ has joined #nemomobile17:25
rcg1eddyb: wrt to the icon.. that should be the calendar app17:25
rcg1and that's already fixed :)17:25
rcg1at least in git ;)17:25
eddybit's not only the calendar app17:26
eddybloads of things everywhere17:26
rcg1uhh.. uhmk17:26
eddybthe terminal app17:26
rcg1that shouldn't be the case17:26
eddybhas a  toggle and a button on the right, both appear as squares17:26
rcg1i also used the latest image and this didn't show that issue.. at least on n95017:26
eddybPeople, when adding a new contact17:26
rcg1hmm ic17:26
eddybrcg1: but that's not the same image as me ;)17:26
rcg1eddyb: ah, alright :)17:27
jaywalkeddyb:) I have the same when adding people, a few red squares. but tbh I'm amazed that it boots, takes less than 15 minutes to do so, and can actually make calls:D17:27
*** arcean has quit IRC17:28
jaywalkthere's lots of quirks and bugs, but it is sort of usable as it is, at least from a developers standpoint. now just to iron out those quirks I guess?:)17:28
eddybwhatever MadDeveloper is, it breaks everything when it's ran17:30
eddyband it doesn't display any new window17:30
eddybcrap, now I have to fix /home/nemo again17:30
eddybso, lesson learned, don't touch MadDeveloper17:30
rcg1aint maddeveloper that thingie to access your device via usb networking etc?17:35
rcg1never tried it though17:35
eddybso, I'll keep Nemo around, but it's not as usable as Maemo17:47
eddybI was in now-defunct hobby OS project, and the other dev had a beagleboard. he managed to get it running on that, and I'm thinking if it's this easy to have an uImage boot on the N900, I'll try with the said OS17:48
eddybmaybe this will be a reason for me to revive that project :D17:49
rcg1alright guys n gals.. gotta hit the road.. bbl17:59
