Re: ANNOUNCE: Diablo-Turbo first beta available
First of all, thanks for this great work!
I successfully installed the first update. The N810 is - subjectively definitely - responding quicker having diablo turbo installed. After trying to install the second updates, I ran into problems. First, the kernel install reports an error message "short read buffer_copy" and then I realized that everytime after I installed the kernel fsck.ext2 reports errors. Can this be caused by the install? Kindly let me know your ideas how to solve this issue. Here are the details: (1) Installing diablo turbo The error message is: Reading database... Preparing to replace kernel-dt-sd 2.6.21-2 (using kernel-dt-sd_2.6.21-3_all.deb)... Unpacking replacement... dpkg-deb (subprocess): short read in buffer_copy (failed to write to pipe in copy) dpkg-deb: supbrocess paste returned exit status 2 dpkg: error processing kernel-dt-sd_2.6.21-3_all.deb (--install): short read in buffer_copy (backend dpkg-deb during `./boot/zImage-sd-preempt-256Hz') Installing new kernel modules in initfs... Flashing new kernel image... Image(s) successfully flashed Kernel image flashed Please reboot Errors were encountered while processing: kernel-dt-sd_2.6.21-3_all.deb -> rebooting works, uname still reports kernel 19 Feb (2) fsck internal partition fsck.ext2 /dev/mmcblk0p2 Pass 1 Inode 18792, i_block is 64, should be 8 (...) Pass 5 Block Bitmap differ (65368--65374) Free blocks count is wrong in group #1 (160, counted=167) Free blocks count is wrong (104468, counted=104475) I corrected this, tried to install the kernel again. But groundhog day returned: 18793, 65369--65375, 159-166, 104466, 104473 18795, 41629--41635, 157-164, 104462, 104469 18796, 65378--65384, 156-163, 104460, 104467 I checked badblocks on the partition with no avail. Comments? Is there a connection with the diablo turbo install? How best to proceed? |

You can download the tar.gz from the maemo repositories: http://repository.maemo.org/pool/dia...source-diablo/ All my patches are for this kernel Welcome aboard :) Other projects I'm interested in are: - Porting the kdbus patch (I think I'm near completion) - Improving ramzswap: see if it possible to write a defragmenter, and try to make the backing swap useful by making the swap device size independent from the backing swap device. |

At my firsts attemps at boot from mmc, much before DT, I also ran into troubles with ext2 quite often. The best sollution is to move to ext3, as the journal protects you from the usual problems that arise if the ext2 filesystem is not properly umounted. To solve your problem now, boot into flash and "fsck -p -f" the ext2 partition. Then I suggest you to convert it to ext3 (Diablo incorrectly mounts ext3 as ext2 but DT fixes that) |

I'm actually surprised you haven't run into any issue because of kernel modules. |
Re: ANNOUNCE: Diablo-Turbo first beta available
I went ahead and followed your directions to install everything including update2 on my Nokia N800. It took maybe several minutes between downloading and ssh'ing into my tablet to issue the dpkg commands, reboot and VOILA! Easy peasy!
I have to say that it *DOES* breath a LOT more life into this device. One of the most OBNOXIOUS damned things about the N800 over all the years I've had it was the damned blocking and the reboots from unresponsiveness. But now--it doesn't seem to happen anymore. It's FAR more responsive and SEEMS to work a little more smoothly, if not actually faster or more efficiently. It's certainly made it feel "right" and useful again after rarely using my N800 anymore now that I spoiled myself on the fluidity of Android. I'm REALLY glad to see a few real and tangible updates coming to the OS at a low-level (where it counts! Like in the kernel and bluez stack and so on). THANK YOU!!! :) |
Re: ANNOUNCE: Diablo-Turbo first beta available
OK, I'm even more impressed that I was able to even play unconverted avi files and that the camera apps don't crash the heck out of my N800 like they have been for years.
If you know me and have followed my conversations, you know it's not impossible for me to hand out compliments about Maemo but it's been rare. It's been increasingly rarer as time goes on and Maemo becomes more stale and rotten with time and with the closed-source portions preventing much from being done. I went through the trouble of pointing this out to put it into perspective when I tell you that I'm impressed and you've done a splendid job, maacruz! I can't thank you enough for making this N800 interesting and useful to me again. |

Maybe some reboot helped to solve the initial problem. I'll keep you in touch with this. Now another question, did you know how can I enable the a2dp profile on the device?? Thanks in advance! |

Anyway, I compared with cmp the modules in the package (in /usr/share/Diablo-Turbo/initfs/modules/) with the modules in initfs and they are the same (save for pc2400m.ko, which isn't present in initfs). The real problem is, what do I do now? Install the latest package as is or do I have some cleanup to do? |

Do all of you who get the shutdown problem have the bootmenu installed? I never had it until reflashing with the bootmenu and it happens every time from both flash and mmc.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Diablo-Turbo first beta available
Yet another voice in the chorus of "thanks".
I installed Diablo-Turbo on my N810-WiMax about 3 weeks ago. I first upgraded to the community SSU (to both the internal flash and the SD card), then I installed the Diablo-Turbo packages to just the SD card. The installation was easy and the machine was distinctly faster. The upgrade yesterday was similarly easy and productive. I boot from flash (using Fanoush's bootmenu), and here are some of the apps which people may have concerns about conflicting with the Diablo-Turbo packages. These all work correctly for me: advanced-backlight advanced-power advanced-power-monitor dbus-scripts-settings dbus-switchboard large-statusbar-clock slidelock |

So its gotta be bootmenu+DT, the DT files released on the 18th or the radiation I'm receiving in America from Japan. ;) Do you still have a copy of the previous mini-rc that I could try? Is it safe to downgrade from kernel-3 to kernel-2, was it only kernel-1 that had packaging problems? EDIT: And yes, I did reinstall kernel and mini-rc even though dpkg -l showed them installed with correct version and it had no effect. |

I also discovered the reason for the "short read in buffer_copy" errors: the deb file, which I was trying to install with dpkg, was not download fully. After i wget the file again, the "short read" error disappeared. However, I still could not install the new kernel. A downgrade to kernel 1 worked.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Diablo-Turbo first beta available
Thanks. Now I successfully installed kernel 3!
The naming errors where due to the fact that I used wget and only modified the filename after I had download the kernel 1 file: i.e. first I downloaded https : // garage. maemo. org / frs / download.php / 9327 / kernel-dt-sd_2.6.21-1_all.deb (ID 9327) then I downloaded https : // garage. maemo. org / frs / download.php / 9327 / kernel-dt-sd_2.6.21-3_all.deb (ID 9327) instead of https : // garage. maemo. org / frs / download.php / 9431 / kernel-dt-sd_2.6.21-3_all.deb (CORRECT ID 9431) ;-) I will have to check now if the other files installed really are all up-to-date. |
Re: ANNOUNCE: Diablo-Turbo first beta available
Sorry, I've been playing around the values for '/sys/power/op_active' (now 0) and '/sys/power/op_dsp' (now 0 too).
Now CPU Policy under advanced-power shows my N800 running always at 400MHz so there is not CPU scale. Anyone to show me the appropiate values? Or it is better to reinstall any dt package? Thanks in advance. |
Re: ANNOUNCE: Diablo-Turbo first beta available
Quote:
I don't think you are suppose to modify op_active, the governor will automatically change it. Is adv-power set to performance (always 400) or ondemand (dynamic)? @ maacruz, I might not be having any shutdown problems. The screen does turn off (with minirc 2 and 3) but I thought it only required a short press to power the device back up but is now requiring a long press. :confused: |

I have set adv-power to 'on demand'. And I think you are right, auouymous, about 'op_active' is changed bye the governor automatically. |

Re: ANNOUNCE: Diablo-Turbo first beta available
Having a problem installing Boingomobile after Diablo-Turbo was installed. Before I had Diablo-Turbo on my unit Boingomobile ran without a problem, but now when I install Boingomobile (took it off while installing DT) and then do a reboot I am not able to see mmc2 or mmc1 in the file manager and some of my icons are gone (Large clock, Personal Menu). Plus the desktop seems to do a couple of resets after the end of a reboot sequence. When I remove Boingomobile and reboot all returns to normal.There could be more problems..still looking.
Could someone give Boingomobile app a try, you do not need to open an account just install the app and reboot, thank you. |
Re: ANNOUNCE: Diablo-Turbo first beta available
I updated toTURBO and I notice a great improvement. However, I was wondering if someone could help. I'm not a noob, but I am very inexperienced. After installing Turbo, I noticed the "os2008 commuunity SSU update (unlocked)" was in the application manager updater. I was told I was unable to update.
Then I tried apt-get upgrade and received the following: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages have been kept back: poppler-utils x11-common 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. 2 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B of archives.

Try deleting that file (it contains your configured email accounts in modest, you may try to backup it first) EDIT: if you are on ext2, fsck your filesystem instead as scy suggests and move to ext3 |

Re: ANNOUNCE: Diablo-Turbo first beta available
@maacruz: Thanks for asking. Installation of kernel version 3 is successfully completed with all accompanying files. Uname reports a 13 march kernel.
The rootfs still gets mounted as ext2 though. Is there some additional magic I have to do for this partition to get recognized as ext3? Do I need to edit fstab? Code:
/etc $ cat /etc/fstab @Jimcz: I had input/output errors which had gone away after fsck my ext2 filesystem. |

Re: ANNOUNCE: Diablo-Turbo first beta available
@maacruz: Thanks, solved. The root partition mounts as ext3 now. You pointed me into the right area. linuxrc FS_modules were fine, bootmenu.conf was not. Therein ext2 was set for my root partition.
Thus, I updated these lines in the bootmenu.conf and flashed the menu with fanoush's flasher again: Code:
MENU_2_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3" |
