| omni | I let my jolla1 begin its upgrade to the latest release an hour or two ago, how long am I expected to wait for it to get through? | 15:41 |
|---|---|---|
| omni | green led blinking rapidly | 15:41 |
| mal | is it in the installation mode still? | 15:45 |
| mal | does display show anything? | 15:45 |
| omni | the display hasn't shown anything in quite a while | 15:49 |
| omni | it's just the led blinking green | 15:49 |
| omni | I did do a backup to the sdcard, but that doesn't save android stuff and resetting the device and going through all the intermediate upgrades took more than a full day last time an upgrade bricked this device | 15:53 |
| omni | but perhaps I wasn't patient enough that time and interupted the upgrade | 15:53 |
| omni | I think the led was blinking or steady red then | 15:54 |
| mal | but was it originally in the update mode? | 15:56 |
| omni | yes | 15:56 |
| omni | I freed up space so it had 6GB or so on the internal drive | 15:57 |
| mal | how far did the progress bar reach? | 15:58 |
| omni | I didn't watch, I went out for a walk | 15:58 |
| omni | it was done with the download and ready to install, so I pulled down and chose Install | 15:59 |
| omni | the installation does some signature verification and checksumming, right? my wlan can be a bit flakey | 16:00 |
| mal | yeah, it should get packages correctly if you reached that point | 16:01 |
| omni | is there a way to get some kind of console on it at this stage? through usb | 16:04 |
| omni | or if I were to reboot it (I'll be patient for a while longer though) | 16:05 |
| omni | I'd just hate to reset it again and go through all the upgrades | 16:05 |
| omni | I moved the usb cable from the charger to my laptop and it has brought up and rndis device seven times since | 16:13 |
| omni | eight | 16:15 |
| mal | I think the green light means lipstick (the main graphics thing) is restarting | 16:16 |
| mal | does the device reboot? | 16:17 |
| Yaniel | wasn't that the fast red flashing? | 16:17 |
| mal | hmm | 16:17 |
| Yaniel | or I guess that was that lipstick has crashed | 16:17 |
| omni | mal: for at least an hour, possibly two or more, the phone has been in this stateand I haven't tried to reboot it in any fashion yet | 16:20 |
| mal | update shouldn't take that long anyway so maybe rebooting the might make sense | 16:20 |
| mal | but not sure | 16:20 |
| mal | although on a community device I had issue that processes were dying during update and it took quite long for it finish the update but on community devices update happens differently | 16:21 |
| omni | if I could only know... | 16:48 |
| mal | how did the host dmesg look like, did it look like it's rebooting or not | 16:53 |
| omni | how would I know? and wouldn't there at least be an interrupt in the constant green flashing of the led?. | 17:12 |
| omni | the dmesg messages on my laptop has changed a bit, though, more errors | 17:13 |
| omni | it's gone to "Device not responding to setup address." | 17:14 |
| omni | and then perhaps it gave up..? | 17:15 |
| omni | "unable to enumerate USB device" | 17:15 |
| omni | I disconnected and reconnected the USB cable again and got the same error messages | 17:16 |
| omni | so... something has... changed..? is this an indication of progress on the jolla1? | 17:18 |
| mal | I think that should not happen | 17:19 |
| omni | I'm hesitant to poercycling the device since I'm afraid my impatience bricked it last time it was stuck in a similar state when doing an upgrade | 17:19 |
| mal | one problem is that we don't know what the device did during update because you didn't see if the progress bar went to the end or not | 17:24 |
| omni | =/ | 17:26 |
| omni | but everything it does during the upgrade process would be behind that progress bar? | 17:28 |
| mal | yes | 17:29 |
| mal | at least should be | 17:29 |
| omni | so, in other words it shouldn't be doing anything meaningful now and any interruption should be fine? | 17:29 |
| omni | I just wish I had some output... | 17:30 |
| omni | I'll chicken and wait just a little longer and then I'll press and hold the power button and, if that doesn't do anything, remove and re-insert the battery | 17:31 |
| kid | I've seen progress indication on Jolla1 and X, but on the tablet it's gone. | 18:53 |
| mal | yes, progress bar is not working on tablet | 18:53 |
| attah | Not unfair for a device which there *were* 250 of | 18:56 |
| attah | mine won't boot any more | 18:57 |
| omni | so, I got around to dare and do something, held the power button for quite a while (more than ten seconds) without anything happening, then together with the volume-up button and eventually it buzzed for a while and then rebooted | 19:32 |
| omni | seems operational so far | 19:33 |
| omni | phew! | 19:33 |
| omni | :D | 19:33 |
| omni | so it just got stuck for whatever reason | 19:34 |
| omni | hmmm... wait, what? it hadn't done an upgrade? | 19:35 |
| omni | perhaps I should prepare and do this manually... | 19:36 |
| omni | pointers please (and yes, I'll keep an eye on the progress bar) | 19:36 |
| omni | I've backed up my android things and now 'ssu re 3.3.0.16' followed by now running 'version --dup' | 20:30 |
| omni | ssh connection cut during package upgrade of openssh-server, but that's fine, running inside screen, but I can't auth with the password any longer however... | 20:47 |
| omni | and I can't get a local shell in fingerterm either... | 20:52 |
| omni | hmm... I had changed shell to zsh for the nemo user, I hope its path hasn't changed _again_ *sigh* | 20:58 |
| omni | I can't open any apps but it's not sluggish any more so perhaps the upgrade is done and the system in need of a reboot, I'll wait a little longer | 21:13 |
| mal | omni: if you did version --dup then you might have the issue I mentioned earlier | 21:27 |
| mal | which means some processes crash a lot during the update | 21:27 |
| omni | mal: so how should you go about upgrading the device? | 21:33 |
| omni | now I'm just vaguely worried the zsh path has changed so I won't be able to log in again, but we'll see when I reboot in a bit | 21:34 |
| omni | I do have backups of everything, just that it takes time to get up sto speed again, going through all the intermediate versions | 21:35 |
| omni | I had installed some extra packages, but no additional repos, btw | 21:36 |
| mal | version --dup should finish eventually | 21:39 |
| omni | yeah, I thought so, seemed to be going a couple of % a minute but I waited till a few minutes ago | 22:11 |
| omni | it booted up just fine and seem operational, but I can't get a shell in fingerterm nor ssh in... | 22:12 |
| omni | it's reachable but won't accept the password the developer screen has generated and shown to me | 22:12 |
| mal | probably because of zsh you mentioned earlier, I remember someone having similar issue | 22:21 |
| omni | right, and hard to fix without managing to get a shell... | 22:27 |
| omni | hmm... for whatever reason I uninstaller and reinstalled File Browser and now I can't start that either.. | 22:30 |
| mal | maybe you can fix it via recovery? | 22:31 |
| mal | recovery has a shell where you could change the shell back to normal | 22:31 |
| omni | ah, yes, but I had some issues with usb earlier, could be the cable though | 22:35 |
| omni | yes, it was the cable, I'm now in recovery mode and have a shell | 23:01 |
| omni | got a bit scared though, because it said "typed numbers won't be shown for security reasons" but they were, then I got a warning "Wrong code, try again (4 left) immediately followed by the same two lines as earlier but also "[OK] Code accepted." | 23:03 |
| omni | oh, got echoes, sigh.. | 23:04 |
| omni | yay! | 23:21 |
| omni | slow moving /me but I managed to sed the passwd file (after I had made a copy) and now I can get a shell! | 23:22 |
| omni | OH! I get it! the zsh package was never installed because it is still broken | 23:32 |
| omni | "Fatal error: nothing provides /bin/zsh needed by zsh-5.0.2+mer1-1.2.2.jolla.armv7hl" | 23:33 |
| omni | so I crammed it in nevertheless and the binary end up as /usr/bin/zsh | 23:34 |
| omni | wonder how though, have a vague memory of downloading it and manually installing with rpm... | 23:35 |
| mal | good that you got it working again | 23:57 |
