Wikiwide | How do I set up laptop to connect to my N900's Qt Mobile Hotspot? | 01:37 |
---|---|---|
Wikiwide | Is it inet dhcp or inet static? | 01:37 |
Wikiwide | Because with dhcp, I get "No DHCPOFFERS received". | 01:37 |
Wikiwide | And with static, I get "RTNETLINK answers: Cannot assign requested address" | 01:38 |
Wikiwide | ~hotspot | 04:04 |
Wikiwide | ~wifi hotspot | 04:05 |
Wikiwide | When I start Qt Mobile Hotspot, I see 192.168.254.1 under wlan0 in ifconfig. However, "ping 192.168.254.1" on Nokia N900 doesn't see it, 100% packet loss. | 04:35 |
Wikiwide | MicroB gives 403, and Fennec is so slow that I don't know yet whether it works or not. And I haven't got laptop to connect to N900 hotspot yet. | 06:05 |
Wikiwide | Excuse me... MicroB, I have asked you repeatedly to get out of full screen. What has got you so busy that you do not respond? | 06:37 |
Wikiwide | Just why did HAM get a brilliant idea to offer "upgrades" for 5 packages from version X to version X? | 06:55 |
Wikiwide | HAM slows everything down. So, closed. | 06:57 |
KotCzarny | you know your poor n900 has only 256M of ram? | 06:57 |
KotCzarny | of which usually you have 5-20MB free tops? | 06:57 |
KotCzarny | which means having multiple programs open isnt recommended? | 06:58 |
Wikiwide | Oi, only 5-20MB free usually? It must be swapping like mad then. | 06:58 |
KotCzarny | yup | 06:58 |
KotCzarny | open terminal and check with iostat -k 1 | 06:58 |
KotCzarny | or just: free | 06:58 |
Wikiwide | Because el-v1.db is huge here. And tracker has thousands of files to track. | 06:58 |
KotCzarny | dont use tracker and switch to directory based player? | 06:59 |
Wikiwide | Why? On the opposite, I want a ebook reader which uses tracker to display a bookshelf with epub/pdf/djvu files. | 07:00 |
KotCzarny | (i should make my oscv more touch friendly and compile for n900 one day) | 07:00 |
KotCzarny | for now just check with 'top' and shift-m what are biggest memory eaters right now | 07:01 |
Wikiwide | I should also figure out a way for emails to be stored on MyDocs, instead of /home. Or find out a way to cull useless emails from my 3GB GMail. | 07:01 |
Wikiwide | Browserd for browser, Xorg, browserd for Conversations, browser, modest take up 50% of memory usage altogether. | 07:03 |
Wikiwide | Where do I find "debian" packages older than wheezy? Backports or something? Glabels, for example? | 07:04 |
KotCzarny | there is archive.debian.org or something | 07:04 |
Wikiwide | Thank you for shift+m, didn't know that about top :-) | 07:04 |
KotCzarny | just google for: mc lenny | 07:04 |
KotCzarny | it should find where old repos are | 07:05 |
KotCzarny | yeah, and shift-p for cpu usage | 07:05 |
KotCzarny | :) | 07:05 |
KotCzarny | and on multi-cpu systems pressing '1' will show cpu usage per core | 07:06 |
Wikiwide | Arm architecture is not accepted by dpkg, see http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glabels/ ; and the versions with armel architecture require libc6 2.6 or 2.7, whereas maemo 5 fremantle has libc6 2.5. | 07:30 |
buZz | well | 07:34 |
buZz | you could run devuan or debian | 07:34 |
buZz | just ignore all the maemo stuff :) | 07:34 |
Wikiwide | Run devuan or debian on Nokia N900? | 07:35 |
buZz | yes | 07:35 |
buZz | or postmarketos | 07:35 |
buZz | i guess i'm preaching blasphemy here ;) | 07:35 |
Wikiwide | About as likely as me running Maemo Leste on my N900. It's my everyday device. | 07:35 |
buZz | ah yeah, i dont need phonecalls or a sim for everyday devices | 07:36 |
buZz | but i guess that could get hard | 07:36 |
buZz | postmarketos might have something for it though | 07:37 |
buZz | seems none do calls , from https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices | 07:37 |
buZz | but 2G works :) | 07:38 |
Wikiwide | I like Maemo 5 Fremantle, thank you very much. Just wish it was upgraded - I guess that's what Leste is about. | 07:38 |
Wikiwide | 2G is non-existent in Australia, literally. | 07:38 |
buZz | hmhm | 07:38 |
buZz | ah sad | 07:38 |
buZz | you could perhaps softmodem over a voice line? :) | 07:38 |
KotCzarny | Wikiwide: you need armel | 07:40 |
KotCzarny | and etch/lenny | 07:42 |
KotCzarny | otherwise you need to rebuild | 07:43 |
KotCzarny | which might work | 07:43 |
Wikiwide | Glabels depends on dpkg? Sounds like badly managed dependencies. | 07:56 |
KotCzarny | safer is to run it from de*an chroot | 07:57 |
Wikiwide | Libebook-1.2-13, version 3.4.3, sounds like a strange approach t9 versioning. | 08:02 |
Wikiwide | Libgdk-pixbuf is not in Maemo repositories. | 08:02 |
Wikiwide | And, it's going to be painful: glabels depends on Gtk3 | 08:02 |
KotCzarny | what about chroot way? | 08:03 |
Wikiwide | Other than that, I would like something more plug-in oriented. Not everybody using glabels needs qrcode. | 08:03 |
Wikiwide | KotCzarny : how does chroot work? Never used it before. | 08:04 |
KotCzarny | using debian chroot means you arent messing the original system | 08:04 |
Wikiwide | That's good, but... How do I install chroot? | 08:04 |
Wikiwide | How much space does it require? | 08:05 |
KotCzarny | https://wiki.maemo.org/Easy_Debian | 08:05 |
KotCzarny | dont know if it still works | 08:05 |
KotCzarny | or if there is something newer | 08:05 |
KotCzarny | also it seems to be for n8x0 | 08:05 |
KotCzarny | hrm | 08:05 |
KotCzarny | there was one for fremantle too i think | 08:05 |
KotCzarny | maybe it's for both, hmm, later in the text fremantle is also mentioned | 08:06 |
KotCzarny | just read whole page then | 08:06 |
Wikiwide | List of dependencies is insane https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc/print/glabels/README.html | 08:16 |
KotCzarny | :) | 08:17 |
KotCzarny | that's what you get for using gnome | 08:18 |
brolin_empey | I used Easy Debian on fremantle. I never used any earlier version of Maemo because I wanted integrated cellular telephony + SMS capability. | 08:18 |
Wikiwide | Easy-deb-chroot? | 08:19 |
