buZzdreamer: i seem to remember there was some touchscreen trick to get past that simcard requirement04:20
buZzsomething with tapping corners of the screen? hmm04:20
buZz> I got by that screen on my old Droid X by touching all four corners of the screen, clockwise starting at the top left.04:21
buZzhttps://www.droidforums.net/threads/how-to-activate-droid-4-w-no-sim-card.276540/04:24
dreameroh right04:37
dreamerdon't really care though. don't need android :)04:37
dreamer#4 factory resetting and flashing bootloader04:40
buZz:)04:40
freemangordonI can;t believe what a mess is rpm spec file format :(10:38
freemangordonnot to say that it seems to miss a basic functionality like "BuildREquires: package1 | package2"10:39
Wizzupfreemangordon: what are you trying to do?10:42
freemangordonIn my RL work I have to package a SW (which is currently packaged for debian) for RHEL10:44
Wizzupright10:44
freemangordonSW is written in qt and can be compiled for both qt4 and qt510:44
freemangordonin debian/control I can BuildDepends: qt4-dev | qt5-dev, but not in specs file it seems10:45
freemangordonwhat a piece of crap10:45
freemangordon"rpm 4.13.0, rpm supports boolean expressions in all dependencies"10:46
Wizzuphehe10:46
freemangordonbut not 4.11 which is in RHEL710:46
freemangordonanyway, sorry for the OT10:47
Wizzupnp10:47
WizzupI read a lot of the rpm stuff when doing the audio work10:47
Wizzupwe had the eu deadline last weekend btw, the tor and openvpn and wireguard stuff is mostly done10:47
freemangordonnice10:48
Wizzupbut I got a fever shortly after the deadline, so didn't do much in the past ~5 days10:48
freemangordon:(10:48
Wizzupthere's a few things to fix, but it's mostly good10:48
Wizzup(I've recovered)10:48
WizzupI think at least the libicd- parts are mostly fine, there is some interface monitoring via netlink that I have to make a bit more robust10:49
freemangordongood, hopefully that was not covid10:49
Wizzupprobably not10:49
Wizzupand then add that (interface monitoring) to openvpn10:49
WizzupI don't use openvpn much, so it's a bit harder to test properly10:49
freemangordonin the meanwhile I finished calendar applets (there are couple of bugs to smash still, but kona can use them)10:49
Wizzupwe decided not to have a big UX for openvpn to configure it, but rather have users install config files10:49
Wizzupnice, what parts are that on fremantle?10:49
freemangordoncalendar-ui-widgets010:50
WizzupI mean on the ux, since we have qalendar and I wasn't sure what was missing10:50
Wizzups/ux/ui/10:50
freemangordonthis is color chooser in calendar/modest/osso-notes10:51
Wizzupok10:51
Wizzupprobably qalendar had a replacement10:51
freemangordonI guess so10:51
dreamerwell, only one out of 5 devices giving issues. `FAILED (remote: 'Battery Low')` that I remember also having on my first unit12:21
dreamerso. need to find a replacement battery before I can reset it and add kexecboot12:22
dreamer(or I go through the hassle of grabbing a battery from one of the other units hehe)12:22
Wizzupdreamer: maybe just let it charge overnight to a wall charger12:33
dreamerWizzup: yeah it was on wall-charger for several hours12:33
dreamerit says it's 70% on the charge screen12:34
dreamerwill wait some more :)12:35
lelMerlijnWajer opened an issue: https://github.com/maemo-leste/bugtracker/issues/573 (Outstanding bugs/todo for libicd-{tor,wireguard,openvpn}-* and related cpa/status applets)13:02
dreamersays battery is ok this time, but having issues connecting the usb. maybe it's just faulty then13:39
dreamerit doesn't see the usb cable half the time13:39
dreamerok found an angle of the cable/connector that seems to work best hehe. hope it stays positioned :#13:41
dreameraaaand done \o/13:47
dreamerwill bring this stack of 4 to nurdspace soon so people can get one to play with (maybe I'll go to action today to get some microsd's ..)13:47
dreamerbuZz: maybe we can do a little maemo-leste session at the nurd-inn. get a couple more people interested to poke around :)13:48
hallynoh mabe that's the way i should go.   i only looked for n900s on ebay, but didn't look for a multi-pack.  i'll look this weekend.16:23
konaI picked up my n900 on ebay, single unit, seems to be in good condition.  Looks like it was last used under fremantle in 201116:49
konaFreemangordon, calendar-ui-widgets? I guess modest might need, am on mobile atm16:50
Wizzupdreamer: cool17:59
Wizzuphallyn: a droid4 might be better than n900 if you have neither atm17:59
hallynWizzup: well i miss my n900 :)  but i understand it would be less usable18:16
buZzhallyn: the hw is very very similar in droid418:34
buZzjust thinner, bigger screen, bigger keyboard, more cpus , more ram , etc18:35
buZzplus not as expensive on used market18:35
hallynorly18:40
hallynok i'll look at it thanks :)  didn't realize it had a kbd.18:40
hallynfigured it was just another hunk of glass18:41
buZzits the -last- of the motorola TI devices that had one, afaik18:42
uvosWizzup: no19:25
uvostmlind: its https://github.com/IMbackK/droid4-linux/tree/touchscreen-buttons-51019:35
