11:11.29freemangordon_jonwil: we have a channel for that purpose :)
11:12.06freemangordon_lets use it, what we say may be of interest to somebody else, in theory ;)
11:12.50freemangordon_jonwil: now you have your n900 back in a working condition, what about continuing connui REing?
11:13.54jonwilSo what about this "fremantle-GTK2 project" mentioned by Android_808 on t.m.o?
11:14.29freemangordon_jonwil: this is what all talk on ##ftpf-private is about
11:15.01jonwilSo basically "fremantle-GTK2" is this Devuan derivative people are now calling Maemo7?
11:15.38freemangordon_jonwil: later on it evovled in what we named maemo-leste a couple of days ago
11:15.40freemangordon_yes
11:15.43jonwilOk.
11:16.45jonwilSounds like there isn't anything there that should be in CSSU then
11:17.00freemangordon_jonwil: keep in mind fremantle-gtk2 is now more the active repo, https://github.com/maemo-leste is the one we're going to use from now on
11:17.15freemangordon_jonwil: not really
11:17.21jonwilOk.
11:17.39freemangordon_so far I first put REed stuff in cssu repo
11:17.40jonwilWas it you who mentioned someone to talk to re CSSU-testing?
11:17.46freemangordon_yes
11:17.53freemangordon_merlin1991 and Ilew
11:19.34jonwilI got just about every package into CSSU-devel that should be there. vte and tracker gave me an error "Your intltool is too old.  You need intltool 0.35.0 or later" even though I have intltool 0.35.0-3 installed and so I couldn't put those in cssu-devel
11:20.16jonwilfeedservice-plugin-fb-common was giving some errors about makefile.ini being missing (so its either not generating makefile.in when it should be or there is some step I missed to compile it)
11:20.30jonwilsharing-service-facebook depends on feedservice-plugin-fb-common so I cant compile that
11:20.48freemangordon_yes, I read your TMO posr
11:20.51freemangordon_*post
11:21.12jonwilAny ideas on your end how to solve the errors for any of those packages?
11:21.47freemangordon_facebook stuff is doomed anyways (all maemo facebook application admins/devs had their facebook developer account blocked)
11:22.35jonwilSo basically the facebook API keys and other things used in the stock Maemo bits and in the RE'd clones are no longer functional?
11:22.53freemangordon_they are, but we can't certify with facebook
11:23.55jonwilOk so that covers those 2 packages. Any ideas about the other packages?
11:24.00freemangordon_because no functional user to perform that certification
11:24.58jonwilFor hildon-input-method-plugins we probably need a package similar in nature to libconnui-dev that installs various library bits in the SDK environment
11:25.02jonwilto allow that to compile easily
11:25.19freemangordon_jonwil: do you have CSSU repos enabled in ScratchBox you try to compile those?
11:25.34jonwilI do have cssu-devel enabled
11:26.15freemangordon_no idea then, maybe ./autogen.sh or autoreconf -v -f -i
11:27.12jonwilWait I have cssu-testing enabled, not cssu-devel
11:27.19freemangordon_should be ok
11:27.27freemangordon_you'd better not enable -devel repo
11:27.40freemangordon_did you perform apt-get upgrade?
11:27.52jonwilLet me check
11:28.02freemangordon_well, update/upgrade
11:29.04jonwilits installing a whole bunch of packages in my SDK VM
11:29.18jonwilupdates to stuff mostly
11:29.47freemangordon_makes sense
11:30.08freemangordon_if stuff == maemo cssu packages
11:30.12jonwilYes
11:30.50freemangordon_is afk
11:30.54jonwilOk.
12:12.36DocScrutinizer05I wish somebody had tried a single time to build a normal stock-alike maemo from scratch
12:16.38DocScrutinizer05don't know if everybody thinks that's too easy and boring, or just it's considered too complex
12:20.18DocScrutinizer05anyway in a few weeks we will have Neo900-devel board and I need developers to demonstrate maemo-proper on those, incl installing apps from maemo-extras repos
12:22.45DocScrutinizer05I guess I have to hire Carsten Munk for that, after all he did it like 8 years ago already
12:23.54DocScrutinizer05http://omappedia.org/wiki/Maemo_Getting_Started#Beagle
12:25.16sicelohe's with jolla?
12:27.25DocScrutinizer05according to his linkedin no more
12:28.01DocScrutinizer05unless he's a subcontractor to Jolla
12:28.36DocScrutinizer05or jolla changed name
12:28.55siceloalright
12:32.34DocScrutinizer05it's quite unfortunate how things moved from http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=91308 to new kernel (orphaning closed drivers ABI compatibility) to devuan to armhf (orphaning all existing apps binaries) - and still the Devuan key folks think they support Neo900
12:33.20bencohI don't think it's the proper channel to discuss that, though
12:33.33DocScrutinizer05oh?
12:34.14DocScrutinizer05yeah, indeed. maemo orphaned neo900, so I probably should ask on #neo900 if there's anybody willing to port maemo to that device
12:34.16bencohit's somewhat related, but still should go to #neo900 or #maemo :)
12:35.16siceloall of what is being done still supports N900 well enough, and probably Neo even better
12:35.33DocScrutinizer05aha
12:35.33siceloat least as far as i understand
12:35.45DocScrutinizer05that's exactly the problem
12:37.13DocScrutinizer05everybody incl jaromil thinks that
12:37.23DocScrutinizer05it's not true
12:37.51sicelo<PROTECTED>
12:38.19DocScrutinizer05sorry, I don't have any maemo devels there

13:54.30freemangordon_DocScrutinizer05: supporting fremantle userspace, at least partially is a matter of setting up armel build aling armhf
13:54.41freemangordon_*alog
13:54.45freemangordon_aaah
13:54.53freemangordon_*along
14:22.28jonwilbah, I have no idea why connui-statusbar-cellular causes hildon-status-menu to crash "
14:23.00jonwiland I cant seem to get hildon-status-menu into GDB to debug it since it uses maemo-launcher or whatever it is
14:28.47freemangordon_just attach gdb to it
14:29.13freemangordon_there are 2 processes with same name, attach to the one with higher pid
14:33.29DocScrutinizer05jonwil: you need to either attach GDB after starting the process, or you need to "patch" maemo-launcher
14:35.40DocScrutinizer05acme-app-xxx is a symlink to a launcher stub that sends a dbus msg to another maemo-launcher persistent process (daemon?) that forks to launce the real acme-app-xxx.launch binary. Or somesuch
14:42.00DocScrutinizer05actually e.g. "startup-pin-query -> maemo-invoker" and that one calls maemo-launcher (via dbus?)
14:44.46DocScrutinizer05so  maemo.invoker when caled with $0 startup-pin-query will tell maemo-laincher to execute (fork) /usr/bin/startup-pin-query.launch
14:46.17DocScrutinizer05you'd need to "wrap" /usr/bin/maemo-launcher so it runs under GDB - unless there is a smarter method
14:48.46DocScrutinizer05http://paste.opensuse.org/60211476
15:01.29jonwilMy short term goals are to 1.Continue to reverse engineer things (including getting connui-cellular working) 2.Providing info to the guys doing the devuan work where I can provide that info 3.Look into documenting the things connected to the wlan subsystem so we know what we need to do to replace it
15:11.38jonwilOooh good, it looks like I can stop hildon-status-menu from running without the system rebooting and then I can start it whenever I want manually
15:12.32jonwilOf course what happens is that when maemo-launcher gets told to start a new program it forks itself
