| duuuude | can I dd the internal sd card in mass storage mode or it will explode? | 05:46 |
|---|---|---|
| duuuude | anyone online? urgent matter. | 06:32 |
| sixwheeledbeast | would you normally dd a mounted disk? | 09:41 |
| duuuude | sixwheeledbeast: it is not mounted when in mass storage mode, as far as I visibly see. | 10:11 |
| duuuude | n900 thinks it is connected to usb when it's not and I can't reboot it. i think it is about to explode. | 10:12 |
| sixwheeledbeast | that's how you mount it to put stuff on the card and device | 10:12 |
| duuuude | it wasn't mounted on my pc either | 10:13 |
| duuuude | but I failed to dd leste on it | 10:13 |
| duuuude | what should i do now :( | 10:15 |
| duuuude | I also tried to dd leste from the phone into sd, also failed | 10:16 |
| sicelo | n900 battery is removable ... | 10:23 |
| Maxdamantus | duuuude: what do you mean by it failing? haven't looked much into leste myself, but presumably you also need some sort of bootloader mechanism for it. | 10:37 |
| Maxdamantus | since Maemo doesn't normally boot from the SD card. you'd need to replace the bootloader in NAND, or else modify Maemo to somehow boot into it. | 10:38 |
| Maxdamantus | afk | 10:39 |
| sixwheeledbeast | well ideally a sd card reader. | 10:44 |
| sixwheeledbeast | But for me plugging in the n900 and leaving it on the "Connected to USB Device" screen shows the device but isn't mounted. | 10:45 |
| duuuude | Maxdamantus: it was taking forever (more than 1 hour I think) and I thought if I would leave it it would break more. | 11:18 |
| duuuude | sicelo: everytime I removed it there was disaster | 11:18 |
| duuuude | a lot of my stuff broke lately I have probably got a failing electronics phobia | 11:23 |
| Maxdamantus | duuuude: fwiw, if you have a dd process running still, you can use `killall -USR1 dd` to make it print its progress. | 11:38 |
| Maxdamantus | alternatively you can run it with status=progress | 11:39 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I would always run with status flag, killall probably aint ideal. | 11:40 |
| Maxdamantus | (if you're using dd with pipes, you need to be careful with `killall -USR1 dd` since it can cause short writes, but with files that won't happen) | 11:40 |
| Maxdamantus | before status=progress existed, I would usually run dd using something like `while sleep 1 && killall -USR1 dd; do :; done & dd if=... of=... bs=1M` | 11:41 |
| sixwheeledbeast | one issue with killall is it uses the process name, so it would kill every dd instance. | 11:44 |
| joerg | the N900 seems to fail on huge bulk data transfers to / from the uSD, probably overtemperature issue. And watch out, the device will do nasty things while the uSD is getting exported via USB as mass storage. Device-internal writes will NOT go to the SD but iften will write to the SD mountpoint, then get hidden behind the mount when you quit the mass storage export mode | 19:56 |
| duuude | U-Boot with kernel 2.6.28-omap1 won't get installed | 23:12 |
| duuude | it violates "third party package policy" | 23:13 |
| sicelo | install it with apt on command line | 23:40 |
| sixwheeledbeast | its probably conflicting with something | 23:41 |
| sicelo | it conflicts with the kernel :-) | 23:41 |
| sixwheeledbeast | well yer but something else | 23:42 |
| sixwheeledbeast | You can't install it from thumb it conflicts with kernel-ssu | 23:43 |
| sixwheeledbeast | for example | 23:43 |
| sixwheeledbeast | whereas installed fine from testing | 23:44 |
