Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
 

as stated before, the only reason I occassionally ask the question about updating kernel is to see if their is a way to simplify the process a bit. Some of the 3.x series kernels (3.2 iirc) receive longterm support so trying to rebase around them would bring a kernel with fixes coming from wider community, rather than just you guys having to find and backport them.

for this to actually be worth the effort though would require all drivers etc to be mainlined/centralised? so the devs here, sailfish, debian etc can all contribute to the same codebase.

Hi, is it possible to keep the phone charging for several days?
I charged my phone with bqCharger but after 2 days of charging the battery was empty, even tough it was plugged in all the time.
I was hoping, that it would continue loading automatically, but somehow charging stopped and did not continue again.
Is that normal?

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right thread, as the question above anyway but it remembers me that it could be nice to have a way to charge the phone slowly during the night as that is the best way to charge any battery. Is this something that the kernel controls or does it need a special charger that delivers only the exact amount of Amps/h to achieve this.
A nice way to do this would be to use the alarm on the phone to know when it needs to finish charging and adjust the current in function of the amount of hours it can charge. Even easier would be for the phone to ask how long it can charge as soon as it is connected to a charger.
Just a thought I had in mind for a long time and never let out. Done.
;-)

This... is one of the... strangest and at least for me unreasonable (in terms of effort for very small gains) requests. I get the bit about slow-charging, but Häh? Couldn't you just plug it into an USB port without activating USM? Wouldn't that be slow enough over the night?

Turn wifi, gps, bluetooth and lights on...and then charge it :D

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
 

:D Still these are two nice workarounds for my problem: The later, the battery is fully charged, the later it starts discharging :-) It won't run 24/7 unattended but at least for a few days.

So you can't install kernel-power when you have "kernel-modules-maemo, kernel-maemo"?
"Conflict with kernels" it says =(
me so n00b :(

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
 

Please try to give the full error message.

Either append the log from the problems page of HildonApplicationManager or copy and paste the output of apt-get from X-Terminal application

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
 

The regular application manager says "Can't install Linux kernel for power user"
Reason: " Conflict with software package: kernel-modules-maemo
kernel-maemo
kernel-modules-maemo
kernel-maemo"
Never found any "hildon" just a "Maemo.org Based Hildon Theme"

Your apt-get logs are most likely full - ls -al /etc/apt/* See man pages for apt-get. (http://linux.die.net/man/8/apt-get):
dist-upgrade

In addition to performing the function of upgrade, this option also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of less important ones, if necessary.
The /etc/apt/sources.list(5) file contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package files. See also apt_preferences(5) for a mechanism for over-riding the general settings for individual packages.

Try to rename ("mv") the log. When you reflash, you remove these logs and start all over. "apt-get dist-upgrade" may also clean packages that have been uninstalled from the logs. I have done it twice with success. The installation logs become huge, you have a track of everything and nobody here has ever mentioned these logs, few know that you can trace every installation. This is not MS-DOS or Windows. Use "Storage User", look at /home.apt-archive-cache - ant files here can be deleted - "rm" (removed).
I hope this helps.
