16:57.13inkbottleHi,
16:58.14inkbottleAfter some cssu update, something went wrong :-/
16:58.50inkbottlemost of it I have no "menu" and I can't navigate between applications
16:59.06inkbottlenor I can close them (no close button)
17:00.06inkbottlethe "menu" from the "power" button is working, and I tried to select cssu features, but it yields to nothing at all
17:01.18inkbottleand hence no terminal...
17:01.35inkbottlePhone is working :-)
17:02.49inkbottlekeyboard not working
17:08.57MrPinguWell it seems you need to reflash, I guess
17:09.53inkbottleonly solution so you think?
17:10.17MrPinguI think so, maybe only rootfs is enough ;)
17:10.44MrPinguMay I assume you made a backup before a CSSUpdate?
17:11.15MrPinguAtleast it is recommended do a backup before every "big" upgrade
17:11.23inkbottlewhere do I find how to do this? I'm quite familiar with "linux", but not at all with these flash things
17:12.36inkbottleThere is no problem with the "files" that are saved on another computer, but the device is not working
17:14.53MrPinguWell you have the official backup application, installed by default
17:15.09MrPinguyou can use that to backup contacts, messages calendar and such
17:15.29inkbottlebut how do i have acces to it?
17:15.51inkbottlebutton, keyboard?
17:15.53*** join/#maemo-ssu bsdmaniak (~bsdmaniak@std93-20-88-120-139-80.fbx.proxad.net)
17:16.18MrPinguI guess you are too late for that now...
17:16.29MrPinguBackup have to made before your device is borked
17:17.52MrPinguAnd I really recommend to install backupmenu as one of your first 3rd party applications ;)
17:18.36inkbottlenothing to do at boot time? ;-)
17:19.43MrPingubackupmenu = at boot time
17:19.53MrPingubut has to be installed before =/
17:19.54inkbottleok
17:20.56inkbottleand the "flashing" thing? I suppose I do google n900 flashing?

17:22.21MrPinguhttp://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware
17:22.31MrPinguGo with rootfs only at first
17:23.29MrPinguit might get your device to a state where you can backup contacts and other important stuff ;)
17:24.42inkbottleok, thanks (I hope one don't need to have windows to do that, and I have only debian/main on my computer, no non-free code)
17:25.28MrPinguinkbottle, no you can flash from linux ;)
17:25.47inkbottlethanks
17:25.51MrPinguIt's even better, it has more options like some advanced RnD options
17:25.55DocScrutinizer05you're even supposed to ude linux
17:26.08DocScrutinizer05use*
17:26.09MrPinguNot that you need these  options right now, though :p
17:27.16DocScrutinizer05inkbottle: don't miss blacklisting cdc_phonet, it's commonly enabled on linux nowadays
17:27.33DocScrutinizer05you find instructions on the wiki page
17:27.44DocScrutinizer05please read it completely before starting
17:31.31inkbottleDo you know if "Maemo Flasher-3.5", would be "open source code" or proprietary closed code?
17:31.57DocScrutinizer05closed
17:32.28DocScrutinizer050xffff is open source alternative
17:32.56inkbottlewhat would be the name of this alternative?
17:33.02DocScrutinizer050xffff
17:33.07inkbottlei see
17:33.31DocScrutinizer05ask pali, he's just developing a new improved version
17:34.28Estel_that will allow to flash device from within device itself ;P
17:34.32DocScrutinizer05anyway I really wonder what went wrong with your migration to CSSU, it's quite unusual to fail
17:34.32Estel_from running Maemo
17:34.52Estel_same here, don't want to be offensive, but it sounds like user-error
17:34.57DocScrutinizer05nothing new with that
17:34.58Estel_have You updated using fam or ham?
17:35.26Estel_for 0xffff it is new :)
17:35.44DocScrutinizer05well, that might be
17:36.43inkbottle<PROTECTED>
17:36.50DocScrutinizer05Estel_: cssu-enabler starts HAM unconditionally
17:37.52Estel_sorry then, inkbottle :( Feel free to dive into Your '"I'm offended" state, and deny fact, that 2143214233432544353 users update CSSU without problems. Of course, it wasn't fail of things on Your device, or Your error during upgrading. Why so? everyone else is wrong...
17:38.06Estel_DocScrutinizer05, missed aprt where he said about using cssu-enabler
17:38.11Estel_s/aprt/part/
17:38.18Estel_welcome back, infobot!
17:38.44sdfsdfsdfdgfdhsewelcome back, infobot!
17:38.54DocScrutinizer05well, it's the only way to install CSSU
17:39.03sdfsdfsdfdgfdhse~infobot welcome DocScrutinizer05
17:39.03infobotWelcome to the party, DocScrutinizer05!
17:39.07DocScrutinizer05unless you go really freaky
17:39.19Estel_DocScrutinizer05, personally, i used fapman, from start to the end :P
17:39.28Estel_I know how evil I am, don't worry
17:39.50DocScrutinizer05afaik this is prone to definitely fail
17:40.13DocScrutinizer05fapman is tested to not work for CSSU install afaik
17:40.29Estel_in fact I can't recall why? i.e. what is going wrong?
17:41.01Estel_I installed cssu in my device ages ago, later it was only about updates... But, few weeks ago, i've installed CSSu on fresh, other device - for someone else - adding CSSU repo and installing community-pr
17:41.04Estel_or how it's called
17:41.17Estel_basically, doing what cssu enabler does, but manuall and via fapman when necessary
17:41.20DocScrutinizer05and I really fail to see how you'd use fapman anyway, since cssu installation is an automated process that only needs user interaction to click on CSSU icon - no way to ever chose between HAM and fapman
17:41.21Estel_worked like charm
17:41.44Estel_downloaded thing behind cssu icon, opened it in leafpad...
17:41.51Estel_sucked repo adressed from there, added it to fapman
17:41.56Estel_installed main metapackage
17:41.58Estel_job done
17:42.09DocScrutinizer05nuts
17:42.19Estel_for sake of safety, enabled off-line mode, after packages finished downloading, before started installing. could live without it too, probably
17:42.32Estel_I know, i know, it's evil ;) I jsut can't stand HAM
17:42.36DocScrutinizer05I'm short on time not only to do CSSU update this weird way, but also to discuss it
17:42.39DocScrutinizer05o/
17:42.52Estel_hehe, no worries. It works for me, but I'm not advocating it for others
17:43.25Estel_I'm just interested what ham may do "better" than me manually about repos + fapman about installing (other than using off-line mode to install system ugprade, which I mimic anyway)
17:43.30Estel_plain curiosity
17:43.58Estel_I barely stand to install rootsh via HAM, on fresh device, and it's definitelly one and only interaction I have with HAM
17:44.19Estel_I even kill it after installation complete,l before it AGAIN refresh repos and package list without asked too...
17:44.24Estel_saving another 5 min :P
17:44.41Estel_I'm still amazed, how they managed to make this thing so freakin slow
17:49.48inkbottleThe problem is, it is a proprietary software device. And it is the one and only one (problem). (The problem is not CSSU).
17:50.45Estel_well, I don'l liuke closed source blobs too, but accusing it of your failed CSSU installation is like accusing of whitchcraft
17:50.50Estel_because cows are dying
17:50.51Estel_or bees
17:51.17Estel_it have freaking nothing to do with You having messed something during upgrade
