Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

I just stumbled upon this N810 thread [1] and read this:

I've never seen an N810 in real life, but as far as I understand the "recent" armhf images I created should not work on the N810.

So I'd like to ask if there's anybody out there (N810 user or not) who'd still be interested in armel images?
I'm lazy by nature, so I have no interest in creating them for /dev/null, but the overhead is manageable if someone actually has a use for it.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

More current, more recent images ...
well sulu...
I know I wouldn't turn 'em down ...
got my vote...

and I'm sure there are lots of others interested...
whether they pipe up and say something is another matter.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

you should not ask @ sulu
just do it

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

actually...
the past few months I've been thinking about doing just that ...
but for the immediate I have multiple projects started I want to finish up first before adding more to my plate.

regardless
@nokiabot I didn't ask.
Sulu noticed, mentioned, and offered.

And frankly any offered help of any kind to the n8x0 devices would be more than welcomed I'm sure to a sub-community that doesn't have really any competent members developing for it any longer (I can't really count myself... being a puttering part-time hacker muddling and slogging through most stuff at best...the physic end of making cool stuff FOR devices is more my forte. )..most having moved on to the n900, n9 and other devices....
so yea ...I think I can speak on behalf of new (still getting new n8x0 owners coming here..) and old n8x0 members.

In advance...
we welcome said offered help ...
from whatever corner...
in whatever capacity ...
in whatever way.
gratefully

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

I just created a Wheezy/armel image by using my Jessie instructions from here [1] (skipping steps 1 and 12 as they are not needed for Wheezy):
http://netload.in/dateij871EOglNK/de...l.img.lzma.htm

I didn't do a lot of testing in my N900 but I'd like to know if audio output from the image works on the N810 and of course the usual suspects (gimp, gparted) might cause trouble on the N810 as well.

I've also found a very odd bug:
When running top from a terminal, that terminal won't accept any Enter key inputs anymore after quitting top. It will however accept inserted Enter characters like pasting them from a text file. And after running and quitting some other TUI program (e.g. iotop) that terminal will also accept Enter key inputs again.
I had this behavior in roxterm-gtk2 and in lxterminal, so it doesn't seem to be terminal-related but top-related.
I think none of the other images I ever used had this problem. At least my usual Wheezy/armhf image doesn't have it.

I also have a Jessie/armel image almost ready, but I'd like to have some N810 feedback for the Wheezy image first.
Since I don't know the N810 I'm not sure, but you might have to replace the contents of the /usr/share/X11/xkb directory in the image with the one on your device, like I described in step 6 of [1].

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

Thanks sulu...
If I get the chance this evening I'll try it out.
Failing that ...tomorrow I'll have the time to see how it wants to behave on both the n810 and n800.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

damm, you misinterpeted i refferd sulu
btw test and report back ;)

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 

Ah...
sorry there nokiabot completely misunderstood what you meant.
you didn't mean " you shouldn't ask @ sulu ...just do it..."
you meant ..."@ sulu, you shouldn't ask ....just do it"
That does make all the difference in the world!
hrm...took that quite the wrong way there nokiabot...sorry there.
In light of that ...um..
yeah nokiabot I absolutely agree!
@sulu ....you shouldn't ask... :D

anyway...on the same tangent...
I was going to suggest...
@ sulu...
If say...oh I dunno ...just throwin' this out there...
someone just off the top...shipped you and gave you ...
a n810, batt , and a charger....
on only 1 condition...
use the hell out of it...
enjoy the hell out of it...
develop (whatever you could come up with) the hell out of it...
until say...oh I dunno ...the sun burns out...
would you want them?
Our end of the device line sure could use the finesse of your skill set...we just don't have people here anymore.

The same offer goes for any competent member who will develop on the n800.
If it ends up sulu is the only one willing then ...well you could have both a n810 and n800 shipped to you at my earliest convenience.

I have 3 n810's and 3 n800's ....2 of each I use ...1 for daily ...1 for x-perimentation... and I have 1 of each just sitting in a drawer as backups. No point in them just sitting. They aren't benefiting the community in any way doing so.
So how about?
Sulu?
Also ..Anyone else with some skills willing to throw in their bid for one?
