Heute möchte einen Neuzugang in der Blogosphere begrüssen: project: tableteer's last refuge.

Jetzt fehlen noch basilisk, olivers, joanna und yann :-)

after playing around a little bit with maemo inside scratchbox, i managed to break the packetsystem beyond repair... so i wanted to start again, but the maemo-sdk-install_4.0.sh told me:

E: You must close your other scratchbox sessions first

so... where to go from here?

http://mg.pov.lt/maemo-irclog/%23maemo. ... 0.log.html knows it:

sb-conf killall

are the magic words. lets start again.

As i blogged before i'm going to be the happy (?) owner of a Nokia N810. On this device runs a Linux with a special distribution and there is also a Development SDK, which can be run on ia32-machines.

This SDK relies on Scratchbox, so i just downloaded and tried to install it. This works smoothly, they provide a shellscript, which downloads all needed components and feeds them to dpkg.

But, when i try to start Scratchbox i get

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: rtld.c: 1192: dl_main: Assertion `(void *) ph->p_vaddr == _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso' failed!

after some g00gleing, i finally found the solution here: [Scratchbox-users] Re: scratchbox doesn't works any more.

and the answer is: The kernel needs VDSO. This option is in Linux-Kernel-menuconfig in the 'Processor type and features' submenu.

The help on that item shows:

Say N here if you are running a sufficiently recent glibc version (2.3.3 or later), to remove the high-mapped VDSO mapping and to exclusively use the randomized VDSO.

and so i switched it off. Ok, with on again now, lets find the next obstacle.

Yes, I just received the following mail:

Congratulations! You have been accepted to the N810 maemo device
program. We will send your discount and instructions as soon as the
device is available in your selected shop (soon).

So christmas is saved.

Explaination for non German Readers: Today the german parliament passed an act, which orders all communication-connection data (caller-ids, times, email-communication, other internet-transactions) have to be stored for 6 months.
