norayrbecause sailfish apps are not portable and require sailfish qt classes.00:00
norayrso i managed to export data of sailauth and now i use00:00
norayroathauthtool for 2fa.00:00
norayrnow foilnotes remain.00:00
norayrprobably i'll just copy/paste everything manually. but it's a lot of work.00:01
norayrand then nothing will tie me to sailfish anymore. i have it currently on pp, but never boot into it.00:01
norayri always boot to maemo. i just copied those files of encrypted notes.00:01
norayrso i can open those.00:01
* norayr remembers that it is necessary to port amazfish to maemo. it works with regular qt as well, the dev, piggz, prepared also pure qt interface.00:02
norayrthat's why it works under pmos.00:02
norayramazfish is a software which works with many smartwatches.00:03
xmnI want to port mebble pebble client for maemo to mobian02:51
buZzxmn: cook :)) what is it?05:00
buZzcool*05:01
xmnhah, cook through me off :P05:01
buZzlol05:02
buZzthrew*05:02
buZz#include <english>05:02
buZzlol05:02
xmnIt's a simple pebble client written in python I believe05:02
buZzfor the watch?05:03
xmnI just threw*up inmymouth :P05:03
xmnyeah for the watch05:03
xmnI use it every day for music, notifications and timer etc.05:03
xmnit works with ubports and sailfish and meamo05:04
buZzman, i sooo wish qtwebbrowser would just autosearch on urls that fail to load05:04
buZznice xmn05:04
buZzi considered many watches since i loct my Seiko UC2000 , but they all seem lame/walledgardens05:05
buZzlost*05:05
buZz'mebble pebble' isnt given a lot of hits05:06
xmnI never wanted a smart watch, until someone gave it to me and it worked with my n900. I don't really want any other watch so far or more features.05:06
buZzbut, if its py3 already, you probably barely need to do any porting05:06
buZzgui is qt5 or gtk2?05:07
xmnyup, which work great fo me, since I'm not a programmer :P05:07
xmnall in terminal05:07
buZzUC2000 is awesome, mine came with 2 qwerty keyboards and a printer :D05:07
xmnnice05:08
buZzah well, i'm not sure we have a real way to run terminal programs as 'apps' but i guess just wrap in osso-xterm05:08
buZzicon , .desktop file (iirc) , and maybe done05:09
buZzwell, and then make it a .deb :P05:09
buZzthats rocketscience to me05:09
xmnyup exactly, you make an desktop icon and it will just launch a terminal05:09
buZzbut there are many tools05:10
buZz(to make a .deb)05:10
xmnhttps://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=9759105:11
buZzah maebble05:13
buZzcatchy name :P05:13
buZzis it actually more of a daemon/serveer?05:13
buZz-e05:13
xmnyupper05:14
buZz> A reminder that Maebble users need to manually toggle the settings.py when daylight savings begins and ends.05:16
buZzgah :D05:16
xmnyup That one of the few thing I helped with :)05:16
buZz^_^05:16
xmna pain, but hey it an old watch and phone that nobody is maintaining except the users.05:17
buZz:)05:17
sicelonorayr: n900 usn is very easy to fix. it's the modem that can't be fixed05:39
sicelo*usb05:46
SuperMarioSFwoah06:23
SuperMarioSFbattery calibration completed06:23
SuperMarioSFit works06:23
SuperMarioSFmax 1287mAh06:25
SuperMarioSFI guess it's time to have this replaced.06:25
WizzupSuperMarioSF not sure if it really needs replacing09:46
WizzupI think it's an underestimation09:50
Wizzupsince we don't charge it completely fully09:51
norayr>mebble pebble client for maemo11:30
norayrxmn, i didn't know about it. will try to forward port it to leste.11:30
norayr>all seem lame/walledgardens11:31
norayryes, unless you have an app like amazfish, which works with them. pinetime, also is by design free.11:31
norayrxmn, what's your type of pebble? i have classic and se2+hr. my friends use pebble times.11:32
norayr>if its py3 already11:32
norayri doubt it, didn't see anything for the old maemo for py3.11:32
norayr>all in terminal11:32
norayrwow.11:32
norayruc2000 - omg, i am impressed. how does it connect to the computer? com port?11:34
norayrunder sailfish only pebble classic (and possibly time) is supported, pebble 2 uses bt lte, which doesn't work in sailfish for some reason.11:38
norayrbuuut... amazfish author somehow bypassed the limitations on the app level. i don't understand how. but yes, amazfish needs to be ported, packaged.11:38
norayrhopefully it uses qt version available for beowulf.11:38
norayrit works with amazfit devices, as well as with pinewatch.11:39
Wizzupwe have a happy pinetab user here :)12:33
Wizzupthe orientation sensor doesn't work yet, but otherwise he's quite happy12:33
Wizzupsays it is much more snappy than plamo on the device (not sure what they do)12:33
WizzupI think we can probably make it a bit faster still, but it's not bad12:33
KeebloNorayr, I think that you’re referring to a “Flat Flexible Cable” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_flat_cable)13:04
freemangordonWizzup: maybe I shall start with that one (clutter)13:16
Wizzupfreemangordon: if you want, I think it is quite low prio imho13:23
freemangordonwill see13:28
freemangordonwill be better than the nothing I do now :)13:28
buZznorayr: yes rs23213:44
buZz1287mAh at SuperMarioSF with the 4.2v limit is already really good13:45
_uvos_droid4 with no 3d accell is plenty fast14:07
_uvos_as long as you dont use hildon14:07
_uvos_wifi bt needs you to load fw but has no dma access. the modems have no access to cpu ram14:09
_uvos_there also is a closed source bootloader14:09
_uvos_and as with any cpu, microcode14:10
Wizzupfreemangordon: stable ofono on d4 would be great14:30
buZzoh thats a option? :D14:57
buZzhehe14:57
buZzWizzup: did you notice , recently associating to GSM seems to have been gotten a lot longer?14:58
buZzfrom ~1 minute to ~10 now14:58
buZzat least for me , that is14:58
buZzthe simcard icon disappears at similar speed (indicating ofono finished?)14:58
buZzbut getting the '2G' icon in statusmenu from there, ~8 minutes is the fastest i got to see it14:59
buZzand only after getting those icons i can do my weird gprs-connection-dance (restart icd2, tap GPRS IAP in statusmenu, which fails, dont retry, do dhcp, done & working)14:59
auantahello i am following the Pinephone install guide and would like to help improve it16:44
freemangordonWizzup: ok, but my mood is like that I want to work on clutter16:44
freemangordonactually I think it should be an easy fix16:45
buZza record! i got 2G icon within 6 minutes uptime this time :P16:49
xmnauanta you want to help improve the install guide or help improve the install process?17:21
freemangordonWizzup: what was the hack that lima guys gave us?17:21
xmnI really need to erase and make dedicated sdcard for meamo-leste and a new one for mobian and sailffish and I guess kde plasma.17:23
xmnto give them all a real chance17:23
Wizzupfreemangordon: ok, will look in the evening later17:38
Wizzupthe patch nis in mesa17:38
freemangordonok17:38
freemangordonI will find it17:38
WizzupI think they said to use buffer age17:39
freemangordonyeah17:40
freemangordonthat's what I am going to do17:40
norayrKeeblo, thank you didn't know the name.17:46
norayrWizzup, how are the glaphics drivers of pinetab?17:46
norayrand power management?17:46
auantai'm having trouble booting the latest image from sd card18:00
auantai extracted the .img and dd'd it to the sd card18:01
auantashould i just try to build the image myself?18:02
freemangordondammit, vbox xorg driver does not support EGL_EXT_buffer_age18:08
freemangordonor mesa or whatever18:08
auanta@xmn oops missed this msg, yes i want to improve the documentation - the guide18:09
auantathere are some parts that could be trimmed18:10
auantaand some things that need improvement like you shouldnt need to extract the image TO the SD card, it should be extracted within the Downloads directory on the computer and then dd'd to the DS card18:12
auanta*SD18:12
auantai don't think the explanation of how to use dd is necessary? but maybe a reference to it or move the extra detail out of immediate view18:17
auantahttps://leste.maemo.org/PinePhone#SD_Card_Installation18:17
auantai also want to update our entry on the PinePhone wiki so i'll do that..18:18
auantabut i also just wanna get my phone booted up! :D18:18
auantain the meantime, testing the eMMC install instructions..18:19
* freemangordon upgrades his PP, lets hope it will still boot after that :)18:29
freemangordonwth has happened with PP? it hangs every couple of seconds if screen is locked? does it suspend or what?18:42
buZzauanta: what device are you working on18:51
buZzah pp18:51
buZzi didnt try a lot but just img > sd with xzcat worked for me18:51
buZz-maybe- pp needs fw updates before that works? not sure i only have a loaner18:52
freemangordonhmm, maybe uSD is failing18:55
auanta@buZz I have a PinePhone Braveheart edition18:59
auantathe old one18:59
auantaActually I upgraded the board when explorer came out18:59
auantai'll try xzcat19:00
auantafirmware updates? that doesn't sound like the usual workflow for pp19:00
auantathe only proprietary portion is the modem and i dont think i need to update that; apart from that it's just the OS image19:01
auantacould i use towboot to flash to eMMC or do i have to edit the image first?19:03
auantawiki says edit the image, but the infomation also seems old19:04
auantabut this would be say for example if you want to set the root partition on the emmc and put /home on the sd19:06
buZzno clue which this is :P19:12
buZzyou did use dd to write it? and made sure to write to card, not to partition?19:13
* buZz just guessing19:13
buZzsomeone rewrote dd in a electron app :D its so hilarious because it does break so often and also takes >2gb of ram19:13
auantayes, to sdb not sdb119:15
auantawhat in the..19:15
auanta_why_ would anyone rewrite dd19:15
auantalmao19:15
auantawhoa hold on.. i just booted19:16
buZzw00t19:16
buZzboot on pp does leave the screen black for a long time19:16
buZzmight be a nice area of improving19:17
auantai did remove the battery last night to keep it from discharging but i guess i just needed to give it a lil jump19:17
auantaor that.. maybe the screen19:17
auantathis is gorgeous though19:17
buZz:)19:19
buZznokia really paid a lot of ppl for a slick gui19:20
freemangordonauanta: how do I know if I have braveheart or later?19:20
freemangordonah, it is written :D19:20
buZzauanta: the rewrite is called etcher btw19:21
auantawhich one did you buy? the phones had names depending when you bought them @freemangordon19:21
freemangordonon the piece of paper that's in the box19:21
freemangordonI didn't buy it19:21
auanta@buZz OH MY19:21
freemangordonthey sent it to me19:21
freemangordonas a dev device19:21
auanta@freemangordon sweet :)19:21
freemangordonbut I see "Congratulations on receiving our Brave Heart edition..."19:22
freemangordonauanta: anyway, do you see screen flickering on your device while it boots?19:22
auantano.. let me reboot and see19:22
freemangordonweird19:23
freemangordonwhile it boots it flickers every time @ symbol is printed19:23
freemangordonflickering stops few seconds (5? 10?) before h-d appears19:23
freemangordonWizzup: how do you think. is it enough to revert https://github.com/maemo-leste-upstream-forks/clutter-0.8/commit/6f753308446ff833d8c2713357cdc97d94dcb15b or I shall remove mesa hack?19:25
freemangordonhmm, I guess I can test19:25
buZztesting ftw :)19:25
auantajust rebooted and i do not see flickering19:26
auantathe image i'm using is from July 3119:26
auantaand the pinephone board i did upgrade, so.. let me check..19:26
freemangordondoes not matter, this happens here since we moved to 5.1519:27
freemangordon"upgrade"?19:27
freemangordonWTYM?19:27
buZzwdym*19:27
buZz:)19:27
freemangordonwhat do you mean19:28
buZzyeah, d, no t19:28
auantalessee i bought a new mainboard august last year19:28
auantawhat version would that be..19:29
freemangordonah, that could be it19:29
freemangordonmaybe they fixed something19:29
auantai think so. i hope so :P19:30
auantathere's no revision number in my records XD19:30
freemangordonanyway19:31
buZzmaybe finally notifies OS of incoming call?19:31
buZz:P19:31
auantai already ignore all my calls so thats fine lol19:31
buZzlol19:32
freemangordonhmm, something is broken, out of the blue commands in terminal stall for 20-30 seconds19:33
freemangordonuSD most-probably19:33
buZzss19:34
buZzoops19:34
auantahonestly, this is better than mobian imo19:35
buZzauanta: also in 'millions of USD invested' ;)19:37
auantalike why use phosh when this is perfectly fine. but choice is good19:37
auantakeyboard needs a tab and arrow keys for the terminal though19:44
auantaoh we're still on beowulf... what happens if i dist-upgrade i wonder.. XD19:45
freemangordonok, %iowait hits 9919:51
freemangordonanybody else with braveheart here?19:54
auantaanyone tried the pinephone keyboard? i think i'll need one for this. editing configs is a little bit.. difficult19:54
freemangordoneither my uSD card got broken while sitting in the drawer or recent kernel upgrade broke uSD card driver19:54
auanta@freemangordon do you have spare on hand to check?19:55
freemangordonI don;t think so19:55
freemangordonbut I can put that one on uSD<->USB adapter and connect to the PC19:56
auanta+119:56
freemangordonyeah, iostat reports > 50% iowait all of the time19:56
freemangordonlets power cycle and retest first19:58
freemangordonI can't power it off even20:00
auantai dont have that command.. but when i connect to the internet i'll install it20:02
auantai'll say my phone feels hot20:03
auantaa bit too hot20:03
freemangordonyep, seem it is uSD card20:04
auantaman.. i can't connect to wifi.20:17
freemangordonreboot it20:20
auantai did20:20
Wizzuppinephone wifi is also broken for me fwiw20:23
Wizzupon -devel20:23
auantaok not just me.. well my image came from here https://maedevu.maemo.org/images/pinephone/20:24
auantawhere did yours?20:25
freemangordonhmm, after I connected the card to the PC, it somehow recovered20:27
freemangordonweird20:27
auantadoes -devel mean you generated the image from git?20:28
Wizzupauanta: I think I have some pre release20:29
Wizzupauanta: no, the images are without devel20:29
auantaoh i c20:29
Wizzupauanta: the switch for wlan is ok yeah?20:29
WizzupI saw unbalanced pm/pin msgs in dmesg for the wifi driver20:29
freemangordonWizzup: here, after I upgraded to -devel I see no issues with wifi so far20:30
freemangordonok, iowait jumped to 100% again20:30
Wizzupyeah,not sure how it works20:30
Wizzupfreemangordon: I also have iowait issues, but that is on my d420:30
WizzupI thought my usd is dying20:31
freemangordonok, but I just connected that to my laptop nad fsck went with ~60MB/s read20:31
Wizzupd4 or pp?20:32
freemangordonI compile clutter ATM, but that should not put that much pressure on IO20:32
freemangordonPP20:32
freemangordonI would say this is kernel issue20:32
freemangordonlemme see if I can downgrade kernel20:33
freemangordonhmm, it recovered20:33
auantathe kill switch? it's in the on position. let me.. check dmesg. ah its too long. what should i grep. pin?20:33
Wizzupauanta: maybe just search for trace/error/warning20:34
auantanothing seems amiss with wifi. only something about bluetooth and the audio.20:38
freemangordonWizzup: seems downgrading kernel fixes the issue20:45
freemangordonyeah, -devel kernel is broken, at least on BH :(20:47
freemangordonWizzup: just reverting the commit is enough20:50
freemangordonno, it is not20:51
freemangordonwill have to rebuild mesa20:51
norayrauanta, did u do sync after dd?20:58
auantawhoops someone turned off the electricity without TELLING me.. got a backup wifi going so that explains something.. lol21:07
auantaand i missed all the messages..21:08
auantawifi works ok21:08
auantajust trying to see about installing to emmc and making the uSD a /home partition..21:23
Wizzupauhah21:25
Wizzupauanta: hah, lol21:26
auantathe wiki says "The image, by default, points to /dev/mmcblk0 for SD cards, which must be modified to point to /dev/mmcblk2 for the eMMC." but i would argue that this need not be changed, since if it were installed to eMMC, then the eMMC would become mmcblk0 no?21:27
freemangordonBTW, how big is eMMC?21:29
auanta32GB21:29
freemangordonok21:29
freemangordonthanks21:29
__20h__buZz, greetings. What's the IRC channel of the hackerspace of wageningen?23:36
