21:08.50ilewfreemangordon: ping
21:11.32ilewI finally have a test device and it has a working slide sensor. Unfortunately I wasn't about to reproduce https://github.com/community-ssu/hildon-desktop/issues/1
21:13.06ilewOnly thing I noticed was there sometimes a slight lag before text would show up.
21:20.51ilewDocScrutinizer05: Btw your lazy-flasher script worked perfectly.
21:35.17DocScrutinizer05good to hear that :-)
21:36.23DocScrutinizer05no big magic, just a few minor nifty obfuscations :-)
21:36.55DocScrutinizer05actually I wonder why Nokia didn't provide such thing right away
21:39.33DocScrutinizer05and heck yes, they could even gave statically linked that friggin flasher binary

21:44.02ilewI guess they didn't want people to flash their device with such ease. The one problem I did noticed with the script is you can't call it from another directory.
21:53.52ilewCouldn't `dirname $0` be used on the libusb preload to get that working?
21:54.11DocScrutinizer05prolly
21:54.46DocScrutinizer05didn't even think about that since the whole thing is meant to run in a sort of own temporary dir
21:55.37DocScrutinizer05not relying on $PATH or anything of the host system
21:56.46DocScrutinizer05I actually been pondering to use sth line `find / -iname '*FIASKO*'` or similar to offer picking of already downloaded image files
21:57.06DocScrutinizer05then I decided that might take ages on some systems
21:57.35ilewFair enough, I just have a habbit staying in the $HOME dir and typing the full path.
21:57.49DocScrutinizer05yeah, doesn't work with that
21:58.39DocScrutinizer05a `cd $(dirname $0)` at start of script should fix your issues, I guess
22:04.21ilewYeah that's probably a more straight to the point solution.
22:07.32DocScrutinizer05you're welcome to test it and "provide a patch", I'm not eager to run all testing on it now however that's needed before I could publish a new version
22:09.00DocScrutinizer05I also wonder if I should update the LD_PRELOAD usb libs when I'm at it
22:09.49DocScrutinizer05gawdawful hack, I must have been drunk when I came up with that :-P
22:11.16DocScrutinizer05maybe the whole thing should get converted to 0xffff
22:11.52ilewI gave it a quick test and it works. I just added 'cd `dirname -- "$0"`' to line 116
22:12.31ilewDoes 0xffff have the same problems regarding the usb libs?
22:38.40DocScrutinizer05shouldn't
22:38.50DocScrutinizer05we can build it statically linked
22:39.07DocScrutinizer05adding to #116 as recommended
23:03.32DocScrutinizer05ilew: could you please check the complete ~lazyflashing (at least the wget)?
23:05.03DocScrutinizer05((0xffff have the same problems)) also iirc 9xff doesn't depend on libusb_32
23:05.11DocScrutinizer050xffff
23:16.18DocScrutinizer05~lazyflashing
23:16.18infoboti guess lazyflashing is http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware#The_Lazy_Approach
23:19.51DocScrutinizer05ok, nevermind, I checked it and it seems to work
23:36.00DocScrutinizer05gawd, what users lingering in that tarball? Meh, needs root anyway, so who cares
23:49.14*** join/#maemo-ssu ilew_ (~ilew@58-7-221-32.dyn.iinet.net.au)
23:52.51ilew_DocScrutinizer05: I can confirm the 1 line command WFM.
