I do not remember the last time kernel-cssu was updated.

AFAIK, CSSU-Thumb has its own kernel which includes workarounds for SoC erratas (bugs). Without this kernel, Thumb would not be possible on the N900. The bog standard kernel-power from Extras is not built for Thumb. Any Thumb compiled binaries would be incompatible with that kernel so I'd advise against installing it. Seems I was wrong, see tmi's post below. I guess that means that if you're not on CSSU-Thumb but have kernel-power installed, you can still use Thumb binaries and take advantage of their benefits.

The following point is also relevant to the current discussion:

If you have kernel-power v51r1 or above, no custom kernel will be installed, as needed errata workaround is included in kernel-power v51r1 (and above)
If there are problems, at least I don't recall encountering any. Then again, my use of the device has been on the occasional side lately.

How it's related to Thumb? Anyway it's: status-area-orientationlock-applet

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 
Hi,
I might ask something that has been answered in this thread somewhere so I apologize in advanced if I read over something.
My phone has been on Kernel Power for almost three years now. So I thought its time to look for some more juice. One was to increase the oc from 800 to 900. The other to install thumb.

My questions are:
  1. After first reboot I was not asked for the pin of my sim. The screen was locked into portrait mode and it was zoomed to like 80%. I did a reboot and everything was normal again. Is this expected?
  2. When accessing the filemanger no files where shown. Only Bluetooth. I played around with the phone for a while. Using the terminal all the files were still present. After closing the terminal and restarting the file manager all the folders were there again. Again is this normal?
  3. Is it possible to remove the new battery ICON? I have another program installed for this (advanced power / advanced power monitor). I like the icon better and that it shows the time in minutes. Or is it better to remove advanced power to avoid any conflicts?

Thanks for the effort and letting me use my N900 for even longer!

Yes, it happens sometimes no matter -thumb or not.

Yes, filesystems are checked on boot and it takes time.

You'd better remove "advanced power", anyway the information it gives is incorrect.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 
Ok thanks.
I removed advance power but now I do not have any battery indicator in the top bar any more. How do I add it back?
EDIT: after a reboot the icon is back. Sounds reasonable.

Another thing that is strange is that rotation of the screen is now active when on the desktop or in the application switcher. It used to be application only. I have CSSU Feature installed. I tried with changing the setting in the Rotation part. But nothing seems to have an effect. Its quite annoying since in portrait mode everything is cramped to the small width.

EDIT2:
Sorry for the many edits.
After the reboot I have a high load on the device.
First:
fsk -aw /dev/mmcblk0p1
After that:
/usr/lib/tracker/trackerd
and finaly:
/usr/libexex/hildon-thumnailerd
Till fsk was finished I my folders were empty again.
Did something break with the filesystem? Do I have a corruption?
The phone works fine otherwise not crashes etc so far.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 
I think you mean fsck, not fsk. That is a normal file system check and is expected on the first reboot after an OS update. So is trackerd and hildon-thumbnailerd, reindexing your media database. Let them run to completion, it should be OK after that.

Your folders will look empty while fsck is running because the file system is unmounted. That is normal.

As for the rotation lock, there is a setting for it in System -> Settings, if I remember correctly. Sorry, my N900 runs Thumb but is heavily modified and cannot be used as a reliable reference.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 
rotation lock is a seperate app installable from application manager

sirvival 2016-12-05 09:22

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 
@pichlo
I guessed the same. but it happens every reboot.

About the rotation:
rotation is now active for everything. It used to be just for apps.
I will research more about it.

The fsck version of the N900 is old. The file system check from a recent PC could give successful results to your MyDocs partition. You might try to install backupmenu. Boot into backupmenu, export the partitions to the PC and try a filesystem check from the PC.

In CSSU is updated dosfstools package which contains fsck.vfat

This solved the rotation of the Desktop issue (was quite annoying):
https://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?...72&postcount=4

I manually started fsck but it did not find any errors.
Just did a fresh reboot but still the issue remains.
Are there any log files that could help with the issue?
Or is there a file I can edit so the result of fsck is logged somewhere?

yes there are log files in /var/log - fsck.log and fsck_home.log

sirvival 2016-12-05 22:17

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 
hmm fsck.log has sometimes entries about a unclean unmount and data corruption. But not every reboot.
And one fsck was stopped by signal 15 (google did not help with that one).

So I guess something got corrupted during the thumb installation.

EDIT: last two reboots no corruption listed in the log.
I also checked if the access rights to MyDocs are read only but everything is fine.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_signal#POSIX_signals (see table at the bottom of "POSIX signals" section, column "Portable number"), signal with code 15 is simple SIGTERM, this name might be more familiar for you (or give you more google results).

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 
Thx. Strange that fsck received a SIGTERM, I just let the phone sit there till the CPU load is gone. But it happened just once.

Is it save to plugin the Phone to my Computer and have gparted check the filesystem for me?

Could it be that shutdowns are not clean? When I do a shutdown manually while charging the phone switches on again and the loading screen is shown. After that it just switches of. Then if I reboot manually the fcsk finds the above mentioned errors.
No errors in in the log if the phone is not plugged in during shutdown and then bootet.
Why does the phone "think" thumb was newly installed after each reboot? Is the index lost? Could it be that there is some problem with the rights management of folders?

EDIT:
I searched the forums for input so this might help. My etc/profile, etc/default/mount-opts and etc/fstab:

As far as I know, No, there are no plans to update any CSSU, whether Stable, Testing, or Thumb.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 
IIRC thumb contains packages with higher (new) versions, so just adding and enabling thumb repo "upgrades" system to thumb versions.
