IRC log for #maemo-ssu on 20120728

00:37.41merlin1991ShadowJK: the sdk problem is even worse
00:38.08merlin1991thumb is part of the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS, so only if a rules file checks for those it has an effect
00:38.20merlin1991and only a few system packages actually do that
00:39.45ShadowJKah
00:39.59ShadowJKwould be interesting to check binaries in extras* to see how many are built with thumbee
00:40.23merlin1991autobuilder has yet another set of DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS

06:26.27ensoehello. I realize it's late (at least for some people). I was wondering if I could get some help. My n900 won't boot up - it keeps looping in a boot, I can't flash either because it can't enumerate USB device. I'm stuck. All I really want is try to backup my data.
07:41.46*** join/#maemo-ssu Pali (~pali@unaffiliated/pali)
07:45.27kerioEstel_: install kernel-power-flasher (for kp51), make sure you're on the latest cssu-testing and upgrade everything there, then enable the thumb repo, upgrade everything except mp-fremantle-community-pr (because it would require you to change kernels for no good reason yet) with apt-get (you can probably apt-get upgrade, the metapackage will be held back because of the weird dependencies, everything else is a straight upgrade - if not, hold the packag
07:45.27kerioe with dpkg --set-selections)
07:45.36keriowhoops
07:45.45kerio- if not, hold the package with dpkg --set-selections)
07:45.50kerioand then reboot
07:45.58kerioif stuff breaks, restore your BM backup :)
07:46.29kerio(straight upgrade: the version is the same, but there's -thumb instead of -testing at the end, so it has a greater version)

08:57.58freemangordonWTF? gitorious does not show thumb-testing branch of microb-engine
08:59.49keriohey freemangordon
08:59.49kerioi love you <3
09:00.41freemangordonnaah, thanks, I have a GF :P
09:01.43kerioYOU CAN'T STOP MY LOVE
09:01.47keriobut srsly, kp > kcssu
09:03.58freemangordonkerio: today ot tomorrow there will be an updated KCSSU ;)
09:09.20kerioeven if they're the same
09:10.38kerio"yay"
09:15.09freemangordonkerio: KCSSU == KP rebranded. And that is on purpose
09:15.47freemangordonright now what is in the repo is ===KP50
09:29.11freemangordonmerlin1991: stupid gitorious does not show microb-engine thumb-testing branch, any idea what to do. everything is pushed though.

13:10.49freemangordonmerlin1991: ping
13:28.47freemangordonPali: ping
13:28.51Palipong
13:29.19freemangordonpaly, what is that trickery KP is doing with joikuspot .ko?
13:29.25freemangordonPali: ^^^
13:30.02Palido you want to use joikuspot with kp?
13:30.13freemangordonno, it is about kernel-cssu
13:30.46freemangordoni will push a new version with replaces:kernel
13:30.58freemangordonjust wondering if it wouldn't break something
13:31.03Paliyou need to load joikuspot.ko before starting joikucpot
13:31.13Palithen it should work
13:31.31freemangordonand it searches .ko in lib/modules/current?
13:31.36Palijoikuspot.ko must be recompiled for current runninf kernel
13:31.55Palijoikuspot loading module from /usr/sbin/joikuspot.ko
13:32.06freemangordonaah, ok
13:32.20freemangordonthat is wahy you divert it
13:32.23freemangordon*why
13:32.25Paliit call "insmod /usr/sbin/joikuspot"
13:32.41Palidiversion is deleted in kp4?
13:32.53freemangordonok, I got it now. so we distribute our own .ko
13:33.01Palisomebody say that it is not working anymore...
13:33.07freemangordonkp4?
13:33.13keriois supporting joikuspot really a good idea?
13:33.16Palino joikuspot
13:33.28PaliI do not care about joikuspot
13:33.35Paliand noody seems using it
13:33.49freemangordonPali: if we still want to have community kernel, we should break as little as possible
13:33.58Paliif somebody want to test.... we still providing kernel module
13:34.10freemangordonwell, joikuspot has foss replacement, so yes,
13:34.16kerio...why does joikuspot store modules in /usr/sbin?
13:34.21freemangordonwe can live without it
13:34.25Palisorry but app which load kernel module from /usr/sbin is BAD app
13:34.29Paliwhich should be removed!!
13:34.30kerioit's shit like this, developers of closed-source programs
13:34.40freemangordonyeah
13:34.53Paliwe have more open source hotspot apps which working
13:35.05freemangordonPali: do fcam drivers work with KP?
13:35.13PaliI do not see reason to support some closed source...
13:35.21PaliI do not know what is state of fcam
13:35.27PaliI never used this sw
13:35.39Palimaybe asking fcam devs is good idea
13:35.52freemangordonwhich software uses fcam drivers?
13:36.06keriofcamera :)
13:36.14freemangordonis it in extras?
13:36.17kerioand hdr-something
13:36.19kerioyeah, they're opensource
13:36.29freemangordonok, going to try it
13:38.34ShadowJKalso lowlight
13:38.59freemangordonwell, one application should be enough to test
13:39.06keriohrmpf, maemo.org doesn't show reverse dependencie
13:39.07kerios
13:42.15freemangordonfcamera works like charm

13:42.35freemangordon2.6.28.10-cssu2
13:42.48keriobut... how?
13:43.05kerioNow compiles a version for the power kernel and a version for

13:43.08keriooh, cheating ¬.¬

18:07.55amiconnfreemangordon:  Which foss hotspot app exists that fully replaces joikuspot? I do have "mobile hotspot" installed, but that only does WEP, not WPA. So essentially no security...
18:11.12keriooh god we found the one joikuspot user
18:13.13amiconnI'm not...
18:13.31amiconnJust saying there's no full replacement, afaik
18:13.53kerioso write one! :D
18:14.06amiconnnever really needed a hotspot app so far
18:22.22Estel_amiconn, joikuspot doesn't do wpa, and if it claims it does, it lies
18:22.37Estel_any kind of mobile hotspot on n900 is essentialy ad-hoc, which can do wep only
18:23.02Estel_QT MobileHotspot (nmot sure it it's exact same as mobilehotspot, seems like based on code of the latter)
18:23.16Estel_+BTW, on N950, joikuspot also does wep only
18:35.26DocScrutinizer05+BTW all this is rather irrelevant as we never know who's doing what wrt kernel modules, and a policy of "app $XY not compatible to our ACME kernel? so what, it can go get lost, as we don't care" is not exactly what the vast majority of maemo users will appreciate
18:38.25DocScrutinizer05every user is free to do that decision on his/her own discretion, whether the kernel used should support all stuff like stock kernel (means it will be stock kernel after all, as I still don't see that ABI-compatible kernel coming), or installing any ACME kernel that has nice new features but doesn't support $XY anymore
18:38.55DocScrutinizer05CSSU however will NOT force users to switch to any of those non-compatible ACME kernels
18:40.14*** join/#maemo-ssu arcean (~arcean@aada137.neoplus.adsl.tpnet.pl)
18:41.23DocScrutinizer05not until we need to fix some really catastrophic bug in *system* that in turn depends on a fixed/tweaked kernel
18:42.39DocScrutinizer05CSSU will not introduce a "depends $random-kernel-feature" just for the leetness
18:57.46*** join/#maemo-ssu arcean_ (~arcean@aacw149.neoplus.adsl.tpnet.pl)
19:05.13Estel_Well, I'm fine with that, but I'm afraid it may result in stall of cssu development, and need for someone to backport features from CSSU-thumb kernels
19:05.20Estel_CSSU-thumb features, not kernels
19:05.32Estel_it shouldn't be sop hard to do, but still requires someone working on it
19:05.49Estel_I doubt that joikuspot (which works, BTW), will be enough to keep people on cssu-compatible
19:05.53Estel_not my problem, though
19:28.56kerioEstel_: the problem isn't joikuspot, the problem is $bitrotten_closed_program
19:29.12Estel_wut?
