Wizzup:)00:01
norayrmaefat is in repos now.00:49
missMyN900norayr: what is it?00:56
norayrweight tracking app. (:00:56
norayrfrom 201000:56
norayrnothing important. just trying to bring whatever i can from old repos.00:56
norayri have problems with old good maemo-mapper, which became later mappero. that would be cool, it was very good. but i cannot now.00:57
norayrneed more work.00:57
norayrso for now more easy and doable packages.00:58
norayrbut the other app i was working on a couple of days ago is actually important.00:58
norayrlagrange is a gemini client.00:58
norayrhttps://gemini.circumlunar.space/00:58
norayryou can go to geminispace.info and use a search there to find interesting, not sites, but capsules.00:59
norayrfreemangordon: i am building leafpad now. i see you did work on it in changelog.01:11
xmnif leapad would support html, and have a short cut for wrap and sizes it would be amazing.01:27
xmnleafpad*01:27
xmnBut still may goto editor on my n90001:27

norayrgpodder almost worked, but:02:21
norayrdbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer was not provided by any .service files02:21
norayrwhat is mafw-gst-renderer? (:02:22
missMyN900norayr: gst = gstreamer, I know that at least02:31
missMyN900norayr: I think this is bad news, seems like this is some Nokia proprietary GStreamer plug-in :(02:31
norayryeas, was there some nokia proprietary gstreamer module?02:31
norayreh.02:31
norayrok, anyway, leafpad works, and that's very good. i love it.02:32
missMyN900norayr: found this: https://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Using_Multimedia_Components/Media_Application_Framework_%28MAFW%2902:32
norayrthank you!02:32
missMyN900and this: https://blogs.igalia.com/xrcalvar/2010/03/01/mafw-gst-renderer-and-volume-management/02:33
norayrbut i'll try to sleep now. will continue tomorrow.02:33
missMyN900thank https://www.qwant.com :)02:33
missMyN900that blog post links to https://vcs.maemo.org/svn/mafw/trunk/mafw-gst-renderer/libmafw-gst-renderer/mafw-gst-renderer-worker-volume.c (which still is accessible!)02:35
missMyN900you should probably ask uvos about this02:36
missMyN900I think this MAFW thing may be open source, actually02:50
missMyN900but not sure if it still needs to be ported or not02:50
missMyN900it is also connected to OMP in some way02:50
missMyN900I have discovered that qtwebbrowser *does* have search capability03:31
missMyN900I was confused at first03:31
missMyN900it does say "search or type an url" or something like that but it didn't actually work03:32
missMyN900however, reading the QML source code I discovered that it has search capability hardcoded to Google03:33
missMyN900but, it only works if you type a search query and click on the white bar below the address bar with a "looking glass" icon. Hitting enter does not work unlike in most browsers!03:33
missMyN900so of course, my first modification will be adding support for multiple search engines like most (mobile) browsers have03:34
missMyN900the nice thing is, this browser should run fine on my Debian desktop, which makes dev a lot easier03:38
missMyN900no need to mess with VMs, cross compiling, transferring to the device etc03:38
missMyN900Wizzup: I remember the Modrana UI! But I don't think from my N900 days. Was it available on SFOS too?06:21
missMyN900uvos: I am getting "QML module not found (WebBrowser)" after importing qtwebbrowser in Qt Creator07:17
missMyN900this settingsview seems incredibly complicated and way too clever (but I am not an experienced Qt dev)07:22
missMyN900I may just partially rewrite it07:23
missMyN900I may remove some options as well. I mean who honestly wants to disable images or disk cache on a phone/tablet?07:23
missMyN900according to the Qt wiki a ListView is supposed to use a ListModel but they just have some dummy ListModel and don't actually use it07:25
missMyN900ah now it makes a little more sense07:27
missMyN900biggest problem is how are we going to modify something that was clearly designed only for checkboxes to include a ComboBox...07:28
missMyN900and by that I mean it was also only designed for binary options...07:28
missMyN900looks like the AppEngine saveSetting method at least supports strings so that is good news07:31
bencohmissMyN900: actually disabling disk cache would be more efficient on some devices07:33
missMyN900HTTP disk cache in a web browser?07:33
bencohie the ones with slow IOs, and/or that need to swap a lot07:34
missMyN900but isn't the disk cache stored on the eMMC?07:34
missMyN900or SD card07:34
missMyN900I guess maybe if your internet connection is really fast07:34
missMyN900but the devices with slow IO also don't support LTE (properly) and are stuck with 2.4 GHz-only 11n07:35
missMyN900I suppose it may be worth preserving the option, if only to limit wear on the SD card07:41
Wizzupnorayr: it might make sense to set an icon for maefat in the app manager08:15
Wizzupthis is just a base64 thing in debian/control08:15
uvos__missMyN900: please note that the version of qtwebbrowser is a _really_ old version08:49
uvos__missMyN900: and the newer versions have more feattures, including adblock support and i think selectable search too08:50
uvos__unfortionatly as qtwebbrowser is a demo app for qt, it uses new qt features as mutch as possible08:50
uvos__and the qt version in devuan is very old08:50
uvos__it may make sense to backport a newer version of qtwebbrowser first08:52
uvos__before thinking about changing it08:52
uvos__also please carry the mce patches in this case08:52
Wizzupoh, so we'd need a newer qt and therefore a newer debian?08:52
uvos__yeah08:54
uvos__not that this really matters from a securty perspective08:54
uvos__qtwebbrowser is just the ui08:54
Wizzupyeah08:54
uvos__but feature wise yeh08:54
Wizzupunderstood, yep08:54
uvos__wrt volume buttons on pp08:56
uvos__should work08:56
uvos__for the vkb08:56
uvos__what do you have in ?usr/share/hildon-desktop/shortcuts.ini?08:57
uvos__also do the vol buttons work in xterm?08:57
uvos__(they should not)08:57
WizzupI think he means for volume08:59
uvos__no he explicitly mentioned the vkb no longer working09:00
uvos__1653688004 <missMyN900> volume up does not do anything anymore09:00
uvos__since it still works on bionic, the dbus call still works so it must be hildon failing to issue it or the kernel failing to register vol up09:01
Wizzupok, it's hard for me to keep track of the irc chatter without gh issues09:14
norayr>this is just a base64 thing in debian/control14:04
norayryes, i was sure it's there. will add.14:04
norayrmeanwhile, when you have time, please open leafpad repo and add it to phoenix. https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker/issues/2814:05
Wizzupnorayr: https://phoenix.maemo.org/job/maefat-repos/6/console15:09
mighty17[m]https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/8e6de4a30294809420ac9a974b4f28b38ebdb38f can i add CLK32KAUDIO like this tmlind ?15:11

norayrsorry, leafpad-source doesn't have a build button.15:19
Wizzupnorayr: let me add that15:20
Wizzupnorayr: btw did you see your maefat build failed?15:20
Wizzupyou can't use the same version/tag and rebuild15:20
norayroh.15:21
Wizzupnorayr: try now15:21
Wizzupnorayr: you have to add at least something, like -1, -215:21
norayri used +leste2 in changelog.15:21
norayrbut with tag i didn't know what to do because the actual version didn't change.15:21
Wizzupok, hm, not sure why this failed, I think maybe that means the source is still the same15:21
Wizzupwhich then fails15:21
norayrno sorry, no button yet.15:22
Wizzuphuh15:22
Wizzupoh15:22
norayryesterday you did something eventually.15:22
norayrfor the button to appear.15:22
Wizzupnow15:22
norayryes15:23
norayraha, interesting, maefat-repos failed, because i followed and maefat-binaries were fine.15:33
Wizzupyeah15:38
Wizzupthere is ##leste-ci15:39
Wizzupjenkins blurts there15:39
norayrwill join.15:41
norayrleafpad is in ham.15:41
Wizzupyup just installed it15:41
norayrit is also interesting that on a pinephone, i can see maefat with +leste2 version and with icon in ham.15:44
norayrand strange that lagrange doesn't have an icon, because it is there, in control file.15:45
Wizzupyes, it just depends on what runs first15:50
Wizzupbest just increase the version/tag15:50
buZzcould we prevent 'application manager' from trying icd2 stuff16:22
buZzit keeps breaking my GPRS connection if i tap on it by accident16:22
buZz(which obviously should not happen, but icd2/ofono/data is still kinda fragile)16:23
WizzupI think the problem is that you fix your icd2 connection wrong :)16:26
Wizzupor that we don't have the right fix for you16:26
Wizzup:)16:26
buZz:D16:27
buZzi didnt make the icd2 connection though, icd2 did16:27
buZz-every- time i reboot it provisions my 'unseen SIM' again16:28
buZzmaybe i can just plonk the IMSI file somewhere with that MCD MCC stuff already in?16:29
buZzif ofono is so unable to store it itself :P16:29
Wizzupofono has very little persistent storage16:29
Wizzupit still seems like the problem is that your provider is not known16:30
Wizzupright?16:30
Wizzupif someone wants to toy around with it, I set up a tor hs for maedevu http://maemopkgove3kc2xxzyuk26j3ict6qzbqi3govge3s6h5aokr2uo6eqd.onion/16:54
buZzWizzup: i guess? not sure, normally without knowing the provider it would still collect those MCD MCC stuff and then -store- it on IMSI19:35
buZzWizzup: but -each boot- i get 'IMSI first seen, provisioning'19:36
buZzhttps://lists.01.org/hyperkitty/list/ofono@ofono.org/message/F227ZJQPNDDFSHDSUGSZFE4DIOETPHBJ/  <- this tells me that it should store the provisioned information in the end19:38
buZzbut i might just be misunderstanding it19:38
buZz:)19:38
buZz/var/lib/ofono has two directories named after my IMSI19:40
buZzwith different contents?19:40
buZzah, thats also where 'tx_queue' was stored, which keeps SMS that werent transmitted? :D19:42
buZzi noticed one inside, catted it, it got sent right after, file disappeared :)19:43
buZzhmm, i wonder if i should just remove all those files and reboot it19:45
missMyN900Wizzup: no, volume has never worked on the Pinephone. Even the status menu volume slider does not work. Pavucontrol is the only option.20:47
missMyN900Wizzup, uvos: it is triggering HIM (specifically with the volume up key on the Pinephone) that has regressed since Dec 2021 (I basically did not touch the Pinephone between then and this month)20:48
humpelstilzchen[missMyN900: try https://github.com/maemo-leste/bugtracker/issues/615 for slider20:55
missMyN900humpelstilzchen: I have already tried updating the sink20:55
missMyN900no effect20:56
humpelstilzchen[uh?20:56
missMyN900yeah, I already saw that issue yesterday20:56
missMyN900and someone (Wizzup or was it uvos?) had already recommended trying that20:56
missMyN900it doesn't seem to work20:57
missMyN900it has zero effect on the mplayer/smplayer volume20:57
missMyN900right now it has been muted the entire time but smplayer still has sound20:57
missMyN900humpelstilzchen[: I have tried to debug it but for some reason there is no pulse list-sinks or something command that works20:58
missMyN900like I remember listing sinks with a command on a Debian(ish) desktop a while ago20:58
missMyN900but neither pacmd nor pactl work20:58
missMyN900I just get "no daemon running" or something like that or command not found20:59
missMyN900I don't remember exactly20:59
humpelstilzchen[yeah, have seen that one20:59
missMyN900I find Linux audio really confusing in general21:00
missMyN900why can't is just be like literally every other OS: OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, Haiku...21:00
humpelstilzchen[missMyN900: "pactl info" works here21:00
missMyN900they all have sane audio21:00
missMyN900I will try that21:01
missMyN900just connected the Pinephone to its charger agian21:01
missMyN900the drain is awful21:01
missMyN900norayr: btw, weren't you thinking of getting another ML device?21:02
humpelstilzchen[pacmd does throw this error: "No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon."21:02
missMyN900yes21:02
missMyN900that is it21:03
humpelstilzchen[pactl info gives me this output: https://paste.debian.net/1242493/21:04
missMyN900humpelstilzchen[: so the "default sink" is the same as the one in the issue except for the "platform-sound" part in the middle21:04
missMyN900does that matter?21:04
humpelstilzchen[it probably does21:05
missMyN900wait21:06
missMyN900when did you install your image?21:06
missMyN900I have a very new image21:06
missMyN900I guess I should try changing the status volume ini to my "default sink:21:06
humpelstilzchen[no idea, somewhere in the last year, but I update all the time21:06
missMyN900wait black screen bug is occurring again21:06
humpelstilzchen[missMyN900: are you on beowulf-devel?21:06
missMyN900hold on I need to ssh to debug it21:06
missMyN900no devel21:07
humpelstilzchen[aah, thats probably the difference21:07
missMyN900I am always too late to dbg it...21:08
missMyN900it is occurring again!21:09
missMyN900uvos: https://paste.debian.net/1242496/21:10
missMyN900this is during the black screen bug21:10
missMyN900DPMS is already on21:10
missMyN900so not point in forcing it, I think21:10
missMyN900I have noticed that when it recovers from the bug, the notification LED always turns on21:11
missMyN900it has happened again21:11
missMyN900the screen has truly turned off (timeout) again and the LED is on21:11
missMyN900and now21:11
missMyN900yep, if I press the power button I get the lockscreen again21:11
missMyN900humpelstilzchen[: where is this sinks.ini again?21:12
humpelstilzchen[/usr/share/maemo-statusmenu-volume/sinks.ini21:12
missMyN900ok thx21:12
missMyN900do I need to restart anything or reboot21:13
missMyN900btw, sorry for the interruption but uvos asked me to debug this days ago21:13
humpelstilzchen[yes it is a good idea to reboot. I recommend against a manual restart of hildon. Had no good experience with that...21:14
humpelstilzchen[also it might be a good idea to add the beowulf-devel repository. Wizzup: how big is the difference between both for pp?21:14
missMyN900I just don't want it to break stuff honestly :(21:15
missMyN900I am happy that my PP is finally somewhat usable21:15
missMyN900I am actually using it quite a lot for browsing now instead of my iPad21:15
missMyN900before that was simply too painful21:16
missMyN900uvos__: by the way, are you saying that qtwebbrowser is in the Devuan Chimaera repos? It is not in the Bullseye/11 repos on my desktop...21:18
missMyN900did ML upstream it?21:18
missMyN900or wait you said it uses Qt features, right21:18
missMyN900sorry21:18
missMyN900anyway, it is probably better to wait for the switch to Chimaera21:18
missMyN900that will be a really good time for browsers on ML then as netsurf-gtk 3.10 will also become available!21:19
missMyN900I actually discovered recently that netsurf-gtk does appear to have some kind of touch support as I can drag the page to scroll on my Debian desktop21:19
missMyN900humpelstilzchen[: it does not affect the volume displayed in pavucontrol at all21:22
missMyN900nor does it affect the smplayer volume21:22
missMyN900I guess you just need devel for this21:22
missMyN900humpelstilzchen[: what is the general difference between 'regular' and devel? I mean aside from Pinephone specific stuff?21:23
humpelstilzchen[I have no overview on this. I just found out in february that PP works much better with -devel21:24
missMyN900but is it for the OS itself or apps only?21:25
missMyN900extras-devel?21:25
missMyN900like what repo is it specifically the devel version of?21:26
humpelstilzchen[deb https://maedevu.maemo.org/leste beowulf-devel main contrib non-free lima pinephone21:26
missMyN900uvos__: I was able to trigger the bug again by rotating the screen (that often seems to trigger it). Tried xset dpms force on multiple times to no effect21:27

norayr> norayr: btw, weren't you thinking of getting another ML device?21:51
norayrhey, yes. you have suggestions?21:51
norayrmissMyN900: i was answering your question.21:52
norayryes, maybe it makes sense to package netsurf, till we are not on the release which contains it.21:53
norayrWizzup: how did u generate a tor url which starts with maemo? (:21:56
uvosmissMyN900: its a bug in lima then, or maybe hildon-desktop22:02
uvosplease kill hildon desktop next time22:02
uvosmissMyN900: no its not, i packaged it and added it to leste22:03
uvosits not in any other repos22:03
uvosplease do as i say wrt debugging steps wrt vol buttons22:03
norayrWizzup, ok, i found eschalot.22:04
uvosmissMyN900: btw firefox has full mobile/touch support22:08
missMyN900norayr: yes, I was checking out the Droid Bionic the day before yesterday, I think it was22:15
missMyN900and found brand new ones for 50 USD!22:16
missMyN900if you are importing from the US, you might as well pay a little bit more to get a new one22:16
missMyN900norayr: https://www.ebay.com/itm/11370631125322:17
missMyN900otherwise it is kind of a waste of money to pay for shipping to get a worn out device22:19
uvosimo 50 for a bionic is alot, even new22:19
missMyN900well, I mean, do you really want a device that has been used for 10 years?22:20
missMyN900if you are in the US and shipping is cheap it may be worth teh gamble22:20
uvosif its in good cosmetic condition, sure, they have no moving parts22:20
missMyN900but if you are paying more than $30 to ship it to another continent it is better to get one that is in excellent condition IMHO22:21
uvosexcept the battery nothing fails really, and thats just as dead if its been sitting for 10 years22:21
uvosbtw if you can22:21
missMyN900I think touch screen failures can be an issue22:21
missMyN900what is your advice for debugging the HIM/volume up key issue?22:22
uvosget one with the hw8x extended battery22:22
uvosits a non-hv normal lip22:22
uvoso22:22
missMyN900I followed your advice for debugging the black screen bug22:22
uvosthat ages mutch better than bw4x/eb4122:22
missMyN900unfortunately it did not work but I did do a paste22:22
missMyN900I probably will not get a DB22:23
missMyN900but it is good info for norayr for sure22:23
uvosi did see that yeah22:23
uvosthis means its not mce22:23
missMyN900are you sure?22:23
uvosyes22:23
missMyN900I can work around it by spamming the power key22:23
uvosits either lima or maybe hildon (fairly unlikely)22:23
missMyN900that works consistently22:23
missMyN900so that seems like a mce/power button event/whatever issue to me22:23
uvosbut its not22:24
uvosmce just tells x to turn on the display22:24
uvosand xset asserts that has happend22:24
uvosso x has failed to create surfaces22:24
missMyN900it mostly occurs when rotating the phone22:24
uvosor hildon has failed to render surfaces22:24
missMyN900but does not always occur22:24
missMyN900maybe it is a good idea to try the Twister tablet?22:24
missMyN900see if it is lima related?22:25
uvoskilling hildon is a good test22:25
uvossince if it works after that22:25
uvosits the opengl implementation or hildon itself22:26
missMyN900how do I do that? Can I do that over ssh?22:26
uvosotherwise it could also be modesetting/drm failing to create the front buffer for some reason22:26
uvossure22:26
uvoskillall -9 hildon-desktop22:26
missMyN900ok22:26
missMyN900and it auto restarts?22:26
uvosyea22:27
missMyN900alright I triggered it22:27
missMyN900and restarted hildon22:28
missMyN900but it had no effect22:28
missMyN900however, spamming the power button worked again22:28
missMyN900and like I said before that also causes the notification LED to turn on22:28
missMyN900sometimes it resolves itself and then I also see the notification LED turn on22:28
uvosx/glamor is failing to create the frontbuffer or the crtc is failing to reactivate22:28
missMyN900the notification LED is connected to it22:28
missMyN900what is crtc?22:29
uvoscathode ray tube controller22:29
uvosessentally "display output"22:29
uvosanyhow this is not really my department22:30
uvosmaybe check if you can repoduce this without hildon22:30
uvoswith just x/glamor22:30
uvosand then complain upstream to lima folks22:30
missMyN900uvos: should I try if I can reproduce with another distro?22:31
missMyN900pmOS?22:31
uvosyou can just repoduce it on leste22:31
missMyN900Mobian?22:31
missMyN900but what UI should I use then?22:31
uvosby creating a runlevel without hildon stuff22:31
uvosand starting x with just a xterm or something22:32
uvosand then rotating with xrandr22:32
uvosno ui just control via ssh22:32
missMyN900hmmm22:32
missMyN900uvos: I have an idea, I will lock the orientation and see if the disappears completely22:36
uvosnot really a good test22:36
uvosrotating causes a lot of surfaces to be reallocated at the same time22:37
missMyN900why not? Then we can be sure it is purely rotation related22:37
uvosoh sure, that just dosent tell us that mutch22:37
missMyN900do you know where I can find the newer version of qtwebbrowser, by the way?22:38
missMyN900I would like to take a look at that code22:38
uvoshttps://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-apps/qtwebbrowser.git/22:38
missMyN900ok thx22:39
missMyN900also, do you think I should try devel first?22:39
missMyN900to see if the black screen bug has been fixed already?22:39
uvosno its not22:39
uvosits x or mesa22:39
uvosboth of those are the same22:39
missMyN900ok22:40
missMyN900but then Chimaera could be an improvement?22:40
uvosno we use even newer x/mesa than chimaera22:40
missMyN900oh22:40
missMyN900it is from upstream directly?22:40
missMyN900or linux-sunxi or something?22:40
uvosgit snapschots even22:41
missMyN900ok22:42
missMyN900modrana is working now22:42
missMyN900last time I tried it (Dec 2021) it was not22:42
missMyN900at least on the PP22:42
missMyN900I will let it try to find my location this time22:43
missMyN900uvos: by the way, what is your advice for debugging the HIM/volume up issue? Since you said I should follow it ;)22:51
missMyN900also, that issue is stopping me from using firefox at the moment (before qtwebbrowser, I was using FF on ML)22:54
norayrmissMyN900: thank you, i have opened the link.22:59
norayrlooks cool.22:59
norayri was searching for something with keyboard, that's why i was thinking about droid3.22:59
missMyN900yes, but these are easier to find in good condition :)23:00
norayri have droid4. but i have a tendency to hoard devices, so it is better to discourage me from buying something instead of encouraging. (:23:00
missMyN900you can join the vkb team :)23:00
norayryes, as i see, droid3 is hard to find in good condition.23:00
missMyN900DB has the same resolution as the Jolla had23:00
missMyN900but on 4.3" instead of 4.5"23:01
norayri do, on pinephone. though i should receive the hwkbd soon.23:01
missMyN900oh that is cool23:01
norayrnot sure how useful it'll be.23:01
norayrthere was a motorola phone i'd really like to have, if its camera was working.23:01
missMyN900DB has 8 MP camera and 1080p so should be relatively nice23:01
norayrit connects to the hasselblad attachment, and becomes more like a point and shoot camera with different focal length, with zoom lens.23:02
norayryeah, but under leste it won't work, i guess. :/23:02
missMyN900according to wiki currently, no23:02
uvosboinics camera (same unit as d4) is piss poor even relative to its age23:02
norayraaand, it is officially supported? is there a maemo sd card image for it?23:02
uvosyes droid bionic is fully supported23:03
missMyN900https://leste.maemo.org/Motorola_Droid_Bionic23:03
norayractually if i found cheap devices, i know about 3-5 people, i would want to present the phone with leste.23:03
missMyN900speaking of the wiki, I edited the wiki yesterday to reflect that smplayer is in the Devuan repos23:03
missMyN900and that FoxtrotGPS has been tested (by me :) )23:03
missMyN900since smplayer is on the wishlist23:03
norayri just realized we don't have a simple camera to test it. but there should be one in debian repos. maybe cheese. or there was something like glucview.23:04
missMyN900uvos: how does its camera compare with the N900 camera?23:04
missMyN900maybe the phosh camera has been upstreamed already?23:04
uvosn900 is slightly better23:04
missMyN900I liked the N900 camera23:05
missMyN900Jolla camera was very bad LOL23:05
uvosn900's cammera is good for its age23:05
uvosbut by 2011 its just average23:05
norayrmissMyN900: that's the attachment i was talking about: https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Hasselblad-Camera-Droid-Force/dp/B01J9SSQZY23:05
uvosby 2022 its terrible23:05
norayrand the phone is moto z force. not sure what is its chipset.23:05
missMyN900oh but those are not OMAP/ML phones, I think23:06
missMyN900you should look into the Lumix phone23:06
norayrand speaking of jolla it's one of the devices i really like how it looks.23:06
uvosmsm8xxxx23:06
missMyN900not a fan of Snapdragon23:06
norayri like those straight corners, the flat boxy design.23:07
missMyN900it does have interesting styling23:07
norayruvos, do you know what is the chipset of moto z droid? is it texas instruments or quallcomm?23:07
uvosqcom23:07
norayreh.23:07
uvosomap4 is also the last genration of ti chips23:08
norayralso, what's really bad about jolla phone is that we cannot change the operating system.23:08
uvosthat was sold in any volume23:08
missMyN900Pyra has OMAP523:08
uvosright23:08
missMyN900but not in volume23:08
uvosin any volume23:08
norayromg two chipset nerds.23:08
missMyN900not really, I just came across the Pyra a while ago and then again yesterday while browsing OMAP wikipedia23:08
norayrmissMyN900: do you aware about keyboardless device that looks like a really flat box? sort of like jolla?23:08
missMyN900I was looking for more OMAP4 devices23:08
missMyN900btw are there any plans for a Galaxy Nexus port?23:09
uvosno23:09
missMyN900i9250 should be easy to find across the world23:09
norayri have google nexus s, i know it runs postmarket os, so i would like to contribute with many efforts to create a leste port.23:09
missMyN900why not? It is as good as it gets with OMAP423:09
norayrdon't even know where to start.23:09
uvosits still a huge amount of effort23:09
missMyN9004.65" 720p with 1.2 GHz 446023:09
uvosthe omap4 is just one chip23:09
missMyN900pmOS seems pretty advanced23:09
uvosnexus s is totaly differant23:10
missMyN900https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Google_Galaxy_Nexus_GSM_(samsung-maguro)23:10
norayrfor me, for some reason it is really slow (pmos).23:10
missMyN900almost everything is mainlined except modem23:10
missMyN900it'd be a nice, cheap tablet23:10
norayrmaybe that's because musl is well, small, portable, but has less optimizations for different processors, than glibc.23:11
norayralso, i don't like the approach of musl's developer who doesn't like gpl.23:11
uvosno23:11
uvosanyhow its still a lot of effort to support a device23:11
uvoswe wont do it23:11
uvosofc anyone else can23:11
missMyN900even if it is already well-supported by pmOS?23:11
uvosyes23:12
norayri believe today pine64 devices are must to support. they bring a lot of users.23:12
missMyN900so basically adding supported for, for example, the Pinephone Pro would be a lot of work too?23:12
norayrand we need users because some of them become contributors.23:12
missMyN900even though it is heavily mainlined?23:12
norayralso, i remember mnt announced a phone, i guess.23:12
uvosyes23:12
uvoseven keeping up with all the issues the d4 has is like a full time job23:13
norayrbut, old motorola device doesn't bring many users - pinephones do.23:13
uvosit just gets extream once you get into details23:13
uvosand the d4 is really mainlined23:13
uvosnot pmos fake mainlined23:13
missMyN900norayr: but PP seems to have poor pm unfortunately23:14
missMyN900mapphones will never be a true option in the US unfortunately23:14
missMyN900carriers are getting extremely restrictive23:14
norayrwell, anyhow, a lot of users will suffer with that poor pm. isn't it better if they suffer in our community, by running maemo leste?23:14
missMyN900problem is if people are disappointed and decide to not use the PP much at all23:15
missMyN900like for example, I had no idea that A64 pm was inferior to even an old OMAP23:15
missMyN900luckily I never bought my PP to use as a phone in the first place23:15
missMyN900otherwise I would have been very unhappy and disappointed23:15
norayrwell, maybe. just pp attracts people who think about freedom. so my two friends with pp, they run it, suffer with it, but run.23:15
norayrone even installed a jabber server and got a sim card with real ip.23:16
missMyN900I wonder if i.MX8M pm is better in the Librem23:16
norayrand eventually one friend decided to use leste, other uses sailfish. other distributions are too heavy and slow.23:16
missMyN900for sure23:16
missMyN900ML is the smoothest experience that I have so far23:17
missMyN900that is one of the things that attracted me to it23:17
missMyN900even back in 2021 when it was not as usable as it is now23:17
missMyN900it ran much better than pmOS Plasma23:17
missMyN900of course, as an ex-N900 user and fan there is more to it than that23:17
missMyN900norayr, uvos: but basically mapphones are dead in the US23:18
missMyN900VoLTE is becoming a requirement here right now23:18
missMyN900what is worse is that some carriers are even implementing whitelists!23:19
missMyN900so even if your phone is 100% technically capable of operating on their network, it can still be banned23:19
missMyN900basically the situation is very bleak for anyone who wants any kind of freedom/privacy or something unique/interesting23:19
uvosi gues you could use the one mapphone: the mz617 xD23:20
missMyN900in the future we may be stuck with not much more than Samsungs and iPhones23:20
missMyN900and remember that US Samsung Galaxy S series have a locked bootloader!23:20
missMyN900IIRC it cannot be unlocked23:20
missMyN900we get the Snapdragon versions here23:21
missMyN900because of CDMA traditionally23:21
missMyN900although now I think the MSMs are being sold in more places23:21
missMyN900and Exynos is getting less common23:21
missMyN900https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/android-unsamlock-bootloader-unlock-for-samsung-us-canada-devices.4215101/ looks like there is some paid exploit23:23
missMyN900but it has been fixed in newer versions23:23
missMyN900it the post says that there indeed is no oem unlock in North American models23:23
missMyN900so it is true what I said23:23
uvosall mapphones except xt91x are also bootloader locked with no way to unlock23:24
uvosdident stop us23:24
missMyN900still, I would not mind buying a mapphone without cellular but it is another device to care for23:26
missMyN900and I am worried about the battery because I have not had good experiences at all with my i515 (Verizon Galaxy Nexus) and BB Z1023:26
missMyN900both of which I bought used for about $2023:26
norayri have some crypto anarchist friends who live in rural russia. but they only own computers, because they don't trust phones.23:28
norayrml would be a good choice for them to stay connected.23:28
norayreven without gsm/3g, only by using wifi.23:28
norayrjust after the war started, one of those came for a couple of days to armenia, to try to open a bank account, but i had no device to give them at time.23:29
norayrwon't send the device, need to give from hand to hand. so next time i see them. if i have the devices.23:30
missMyN900they are smart people ;)23:31
norayrmaybe indeed, bionic is a good device for a present. especially if the battery is easily replacable. nokia n9 looks cooler, but the battery is a problem.23:31
missMyN900I would definitely go for a Bionic23:32
norayrdo you aware if the battery in bionic can be easily replaced, by opening a cover?23:32
uvosit has a removable battery23:32
uvosbut good luk finding one thats in good shape23:32
uvosthey stoped makeing them in 201423:32
norayrbtw, it's interesting, i see that lagrange gemini client crashes on droid4 often, but is very stable under pinephone. probably it is not tested well on 32bit23:33
uvosd4 is mutch better23:33
norayrsystems.23:33
uvossince it has screw terminals23:33
norayruvos, but those screw terminals is such a problem for me.23:33
uvoshow so?23:33
norayrthe screws on mine are not in good shape. every time i am afraid i won't be able to use them again.23:33
norayrthen... i used to carry second battery with n900 and swap.23:34
uvosthey are just m1.5 screews23:34
uvosiirc23:34
uvosyou can just buy them23:34
norayrwith droid it is a problem to unscrew and screw every time.23:34
norayrokay. didn't think of it.23:34
norayrand when my battery dies and i need to put it to external charger23:34
norayri need to unscrew and screw again. (:23:34
norayrwhat about droid3? i just like how it looks more.23:35
uvossame as bionic23:35
norayrso droid4 is the most powerful and modern?23:35
uvosout of which devices?23:36
uvosbionic and d4 are 90% the same23:36
uvosd3 has less ram and no lte23:36
uvosd4 has best combination of features23:36
missMyN900uvos: I saw a Mugen for the Atrix 2, which seems to be the same phone for a different carrier23:37
uvosofc23:37
missMyN900I remember N900 Mugen batts :)23:37
uvosatrix 2 has a totaly different case23:37
uvosits also a mapphone btw23:37
missMyN900yes23:37
uvoshttp://uvos.xyz/maserati/mapphones.ods23:38
uvosthats an exaustive list btw23:38
missMyN900norayr: yes, I have the same issue with Z10!23:38
missMyN900I constantly need to swap batteries with my external charger23:38
missMyN900norayr: are you familiar with the Z10?23:39
missMyN900it is "the other" Qt phone ;)23:39
missMyN900actually, the global version was also a mapphone23:39
norayrnever heard of it i think.23:39
norayrlet me check it out.23:40
* norayr downloading the ods file23:40
missMyN900https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackBerry_Z1023:40
missMyN900if you are a phone collector, you should def have one23:41
uvosmissMyN900: um mapphone is a motorola arch that includes a ti omap4 and a motorola cpacap chip23:41
missMyN900oh23:41
missMyN900it has a 447023:41
uvosright23:41
uvosits more a 4470 referance implemntation23:41
uvosthe mapphones are very far from a ti referance implementaiton23:41
missMyN900most RAM of any OMAP4 phone probably :)23:41
missMyN900norayr: I got mine for $2223:42
missMyN900it is an ex-Canadian one23:42
missMyN900GSM with LTE, so theoretically I could use it on T-Mobile US23:42
missMyN900but no VoLTE23:43
missMyN900so would be LTE data only23:43
missMyN900by the way if you guys ever need any ML testing on T-Mobile US, I can do it23:43
uvossame thing should be possible with mz61723:43
uvosin theroy23:44
missMyN900I got it to work on the PP with pmOS Plasma APN auto detect23:44
missMyN900it uses a special APN23:44
uvosnot that i recommend testing this theory23:44
missMyN900rather than official/regular LTE APN23:44
missMyN900norayr: Z10 is a feature phone now basically though23:45
missMyN900BB World is dead so no apps23:46
missMyN900I use it as an mp3 player23:46
missMyN900OS is super smooth23:46
missMyN900it has a microSDXC slot23:46
missMyN900OS is QNX based23:47
missMyN900very nice23:47
missMyN900norayr: actually I had a BB Classic after I sold my Jolla (I missed the hwkb of the N900 more than mobile Linux for daily use tbh)23:49
missMyN900all that switching phones cost me a ton of money due to poor resale value23:49
missMyN900but I was young and dumb ;)23:50
norayryes, something that cannot run linux is not a computer, and cannot be used as computer.23:51
norayrto me that, being able to be used as computer, is the most important thing in a device.23:51
missMyN900ok23:53
norayrthere was a lot of 5 droid4's for $120 i guess.23:53
missMyN900honestly the ML project should pool money together to buy those23:54
norayrbut all the devices that can run leste are under this computer category.23:54
missMyN900I know23:54
missMyN900for me, I had actually given up on that23:54
missMyN900until the PP :)23:54
missMyN900but PP will probably never be a phone for me23:54
norayreven pmos... probably i should install pmos on that nexus s device, just to feel better. and ssh to it from time to time. (:23:55
missMyN900you could get a Galaxy Nexus too23:55
missMyN900and run pmOS23:55
missMyN900there is i9250 (international), i515 Toro (Vzw) and L700 (Sprint)23:55
norayrlet me check that, i never know these nexuses well. this device i just have because somebody gave me, they just don't need it.23:56
missMyN900I had a i515 but gifted it last year23:56
missMyN900all are OMAP446023:56
missMyN900just different modems23:56
norayri am trying now to move my mobile computing to leste, be it droid or pp.23:56
missMyN900i515 is LTE23:56
missMyN900I think L700 is very similar23:56
missMyN900i9250 is 3G only23:56
norayrone thing i really need is 2fa, which i now run under sailfish.23:57
norayri am afraid i need to write a new gui for the sailfish app.23:57
missMyN900uvos: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues?sort=created_date&state=opened&label_name[]=lima I don't see anything that could be relevant23:57
norayrthe rest is doable. gemini i already have. there are many browsers for debian.23:57
missMyN900it has still not required a location fix23:59
missMyN900I don't think it is going to happen23:59
missMyN900let's see23:59
