Maxdamantus | afaik the no-backlight thing is normal. I've always had that when booting. | 02:27 |
---|---|---|
Maxdamantus | If the device is powered off and I turn it on using the power button, one of the earlier bootloaders (presumably NOLO or something) turns the backlight on. | 02:28 |
Maxdamantus | Otherwise, if I'm just rebooting, the backlight will be off until something in Linux turns it on. | 02:29 |
Maxdamantus | Do you know if fbcon and whatever modules required for the display are built-in to your kernel? I would make sure they're built-in, to get console output before mounting root, starting an init system to load modules, etc | 02:31 |
brolin_empey | CatButts: Windows 4.x AKA the Chicago architecture Windows series supports multiple user profiles but without any real security like the Windows NT series has. “Windows 9x” seems like a misnomer because it does not match Windows Me, which is Windows 4.9 or 4.90 . Maybe the term “Windows 9x” predates Windows Me but “Windows 4.x” is still the more general and accurate term. | 04:24 |
brolin_empey | CatButts: “Documents and Settings” was renamed to simply “Users” beginning in Windows NT 6.0 (marketing names: Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008), same as it was named in Windows NT 4 if I recall correctly. | 04:50 |
CatButts | maybe | 12:00 |
bencoh | .41 | 12:00 |
bencoh | woops :) | 12:00 |
CatButts | but now I forgot what the original discussion was about | 12:00 |
CatButts | I had a dream where I had a drawing app on the n900. I updated it to latest version and UI was changed and social functions were included. | 12:04 |
CatButts | The UI didn't quite fit, but thankfully, I discovered I could two-finger multitouch zoom | 12:04 |
CatButts | Also the app had musical functions included in it too, so I made a banger in it and instantly forgot it when I woke up | 12:05 |
CatButts | Also, I accidentally discovered the top quarter of the n900 slides(like the keyboard) separatelly to form a T shape, and reveals a hollow space in the phone | 12:06 |
CatButts | my reaction is to blow air inside the n900 to vent out the heat | 12:07 |
CatButts | then I wondered if two-finger multitouch is even feasible on a resistive screen by measuring alternating quickly alternating "cursor" positions | 12:09 |
CatButts | *by measuring quickly alternating | 12:11 |
KotCzarny | 2 finger mt is possible on resistive ts | 12:11 |
KotCzarny | by some analysis, but possible | 12:11 |
CatButts | >�Windows 4.x� is still the more general and accurate term. | 13:16 |
CatButts | brolin_empey: what windowses are NT 3.5 and NT 4, though | 13:16 |
CatButts | the namespace is getting kinda messy! | 13:18 |
Venemo | hey guys | 14:15 |
CatButts | uhllo | 14:15 |
Venemo | I managed to get hold of a new battery and the correct images for my N950, but it seems the eMMC in the device is busted somehow | 14:15 |
Venemo | "fdisk: can't read from /dev/mmcblk0" --- this is from telneting into the rescue image | 14:15 |
Venemo | is this a HW failure? | 14:18 |
KotCzarny | is there mmcblk1 or 2 ? | 14:18 |
Venemo | no, there isn't | 14:19 |
KotCzarny | anything interesting in dmesg? | 14:19 |
Venemo | haven't checked | 14:19 |
Venemo | but I can | 14:20 |
Venemo | KotCzarny: here you go. https://pastebin.com/65eu3wqr | 14:25 |
KotCzarny | ho hum | 14:27 |
Venemo | lots of "onenand_wait: ECC error" | 14:27 |
KotCzarny | thats nand | 14:27 |
Venemo | and then | 14:28 |
Venemo | mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data, sector 0, nr 8, card status 0x0 | 14:28 |
KotCzarny | maybe bad solder | 14:28 |
Venemo | the device spent the last 6 years in a drawer, turned off, and it worked before. I don't think I did anything that affect the solder, but who knows | 14:29 |
KotCzarny | my guesses is either bad solder or bad silicon | 14:30 |
sixwheeledbeast | did the battery swell up putting pressure on something? | 14:42 |
Venemo | no | 14:42 |
Venemo | and I already replaced the battery with a new one | 14:43 |
sicelo | :-( | 14:45 |
