Wizzuphttps://github.com/maemo-leste/bugtracker/issues/571 wonder what log files we should ask for13:07
uvosi would just try the latest image on a device13:45
uvosthe latest image being unbootable has been a reoccuring theme13:45
uvoswe should have a test stand that boots it on device and checks ps for all the processies we expect to run at boot or something.13:47
Wizzupuvos: I think he reported this been a consistent problem for him13:50
Wizzupfor months13:50
WizzupI think we need a list of things to check / attach when filing a bug13:51
Wizzupbrb13:52
uvoswell if he has this problem whilest the image works fine when installed on other devices14:00
uvosdmsg is the obvious log since that suggests hardware failure14:00
Wizzupcould be, or hw differences14:21
donchurchGreetings!  First time user here.  I want to express my concerns regarding the infrared selfie flash that is continually flashing.  I discovered this while using night vision equipment.  On my N900 booting the latest from an sdcard.22:16
donchurchI discovered the same issue on my LG v20 while using a custom rom (without GAPPS) but it stopped when I installed LineageOS.22:19
donchurchThe N900 has a custom rom too from numerous years ago replacing the stock OS22:22
sixwheeledbeastI believe you are on about a active IR sensor to detect when the phone is against your face.22:34
donchurchHmm, thanks for the info.  I didn't know that was how that functioned.  I'll check that out.22:38
uvosshould not be flashing in leste tho22:39
uvosleste dosent use the sensor at all on n90022:40
uvosso it should be off22:40
uvoson d4/bionic/pp it should get turned on in certian cercumstances but be off otherwise22:40
sixwheeledbeastwhile true; do cat /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/proximity/state; done22:41
freemangordonhmm, proximity should be enabled only when in call22:42
sixwheeledbeastHow you can test it in fremantle.22:42
uvosfreemangordon: there are also other cases (right after a alarm fires)22:43
uvosfreemangordon: but yeah22:43
uvosfreemangordon: but leste dosent controll the proximitry sensor at all on n900 atm22:43
freemangordonright, alarm is the other user22:43
uvosfreemangordon: since its on the evdev interface something might be holding the if open and the sensor on22:43
freemangordonmhm22:44
uvosfreemangordon: could be x22:44
freemangordonright22:44
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: hi! long time no see :)22:44
sixwheeledbeasthey freemangordon22:45
uvoswe should open a bug to bring the prox to the iio interface on n900 iirc its just a gpio so should be trivial to port the driver22:47
uvoswe have a analogus bug for the acell22:47
freemangordondoes iio support proximity class?22:47
uvosyeah22:47
freemangordonshould be trivial then22:47
uvosyeah22:48
freemangordonhmm, maybe I can take that one once I finish with PipCalendar stuff, to have some rest from abook22:48
uvossame thing with acell, there a driver even exits allready and works22:48
uvosonly the n900's comptabile needs adding22:48
uvosand the old driver needs removal22:49
freemangordonI see22:49
hallynwhat kernel does leste use on n900?22:49
uvospretty old one 5.1  iirc22:50
hallynoh but not the original 3.x or whatever?  that's cool.22:51
uvosorignal was 2.6.x22:51
hallyni need to *find* my n900 - someone's hidden it - but until now i was afraid of using it bc of old software, but leste would let me us e it!22:52
hallynthanks.22:52
uvosleste its still quite rough but yeah it can be used for some basic tasks22:53
uvosthe n900 suffers under some extra issues too most problematic of these are: it has broken rotation and broken pm.22:55
hallynthere's a simple debian repo where all the source and binary packages can be found?22:57
hallynI hope the broken pm isn't due to missing proprietary kernel features...22:57
uvosall of the n900 special issues are related to the propretary powervr driver22:58
hallynwell.  could be fun to dig into too.23:01
hallynhopefully i find my n900 in storage tomorrow.  else i won't know where else to look23:01
