Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU

I think I found a bug. no particular program I was running. I had it plugged into the charger. It finished charging at some point, wasn't paying attention to the time it finished. when i picked it up I noticed the icons on the left menu were reset to default, icons at the top right were default aswell. advanced power and advanced brightness were gone but the apps were still installed. I'm pretty sure all my apps were still there. There was no rotate icon up in top right, but the power button made it rotate. and rotate settings were still there. Personal launcher and personal menu were gone too. I did a hard reboot and it all went back to my custom setup and nothing was lost. I am attempting to recreate, and will get pictures if it happens again.

That happens when hildon-desktop crashes, usually caused by a misbehaving desktop or statusbar applet. It is restarted automatically, but without any third-party applets loaded to avoid crashing and restarting endlessly.

Which applets were you using? I don't suppose you had syslog or core dumps enabled at the time?

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU

I don't know how to enable syslogs or core dumps :/ Can anyone tell me how?. The applets I am running are seqretary, personal launcher, gpecalander, and OMweather.

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU

iirc, the gpecalendar have a history of being unstable. Why two calendars btw?

tho it could also be omweather.

Sure! For both of these you'll need packages from the tools repository, installation instructions are here.

For syslog: "apt-get install sysklogd" (as root). It logs everything to the file /var/log/syslog by default. Standard warning:

note that when you don't need syslog, it's best to remove it and rm /var/log/syslog*. Syslog has some log file rotation, but with time it can fill the root filesystem completely. When that's done by a root process, it can become so full that the device fails to boot.

For "rich" core dumps: "apt-get install sp-rich-core" (as root), then "mkdir /media/mmc1/core-dumps". When a program crashes it will generate a "rich core" file in /media/mmc1/core-dumps (which will also include the syslog output if present). See here for more details if you are interested.

If you install these and the crash happens again feel free to send me the rich core dump privately.

Are you sure that's all? You mentioned at least a couple more previously (advanced backlight & advanced power). One that always crashes for me even on "official" firmware is the desktop version of the statusbar clock applet for instance.

Could you check Control panel-> Panels -> Task navigator, Control panel -> Panels -> Statusbar and Home -> Menu -> Select applets for a complete list?

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU

I think I thought applets were the things on the 'desktop', not the status bar, or task navigator. I will see what all applets I am running, and install those apps for syslog and coredump.

I actually haven't done much with seqretary so I can probably just remove that. I should have information for you LMA later today :)

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU

lma,

I am willing to try the SSU in my N810 booting in a cloned system in a SD card.

Thanks.

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU

Thanks, Ima.

It installed well (at least that was the message) but how can I verify it? I run ls -Q but It keeps saying "invalid option".

EDIT: I just checked and PDF Reader doesn't show extra zoom levels between 50% and 150% (only 100%).

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU

Then you haven't actually updated, please re-read post #104 carefully.

Re: 'Fixed in Fremantle' and Diablo community SSU

Another wishlist item from me, which should be easy to fix and will take ~10 kB of extra space (for the joydev.ko file): Joystick Support, so USB joysticks and gamepads can be connected to the Host-mode-having N8x0 devices. Right now, we have to download a binary joydev.ko module from the forums or build the module from source, which is not ideal.

I've created a bug for this and tagged it with "community-diablo": https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9769
