https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugr...cgi?bug=893814 As for GSM, Maemo Leste already has SMS and 2G/3G data working with ofono although I don't believe they have been integrated into the UI yet. Phone calls have been reported to work but are currently of poor quality. See here for more info: https://github.com/maemo-leste/bugtracker/issues/77 https://github.com/maemo-leste/bugtracker/issues/76 You may want to check out unicsy_demo, which has recently been packaged and is available in Leste: https://github.com/pavelmachek/unicsy_demo If you really are serious about getting this working and you believe you can help, I second sulu's suggestion and recommend that work together with the Maemo Leste team. If pure Debian is what you are after, it will be easy enough get telephony running on Debian once it's running on Leste. |

If you've really got a dying need to run systemd, there's nothing stopping you from adding Debian repositories, but I would recommend against it. Those Devuan images were cut for the stable release so they are quite old now. If you run Maemo Leste, you'll get Devuan, plus a newer kernel which is regularly updated and contains a number of fixes for the N900 that would be missing from the Devuan stable kernel. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the only reason for running standard Devuan over Maemo Leste would be if you want to run an alternate WM/DE instead of Hildon. You're really tempting me to get off my arse and work on those patches that will fix this. ;) |

kernel 4.9 is currently compiling, but it takes a hell of time to complete on the n900. the gsm phone shouldnt be much of a problem, the curernt kernel contains a n900 modem/gsm driver (maybe it has to get patched for voice data, but it seems possible.), which is another reason for me wanting to get a clean install. i've found a python phone that uses ofono after hours of searching which runs with fixed python repositories and manually compiled pygtk, as long as the modem driver is running. maybe i can contribute it to the Devuan team. do you know which kernel they are using? (n900 modem support has been added to 3.16 afaik). it could become hard to get it into devuan, because as said before it needs a patched kernel for voice support (mainline kernel only has got ssi, whereas voice requires hsi). i don't know if the project maintainer will give his ok to this. edit: yeah, my phone drained again... damn bs, it has to be restarted every half an hour, and kernel compilations takes hours, up to days. in my next live, i'll start a carreer as a politican. that's much less of an hassle. |

I don't think you've understood me yet, Maemo Leste is built on top of Devuan, that means it includes the entire Devuan software library which is almost identical to Debian. The same Firefox, Chrome, Docker and GNOME 3 packages are available in Leste. The kernel is currently missing all of the config options required for full container support. I recently built a kernel based on the Leste kernel with these options enabled. You can find the config here: https://github.com/dderby/n9xx-linux...rx51_defconfig This should make its way into the Leste kernel at some point. The plan is to support Anbox containers, so that might be a better way for you to run WhatsApp, if it doesn't run out of memory that is. Quote:

@Dennis: Just try firefox-esr under Easy Debian Jessie and you'll see, that it's unbearably slow (if it starts at all, that is). Tbh I haven't tried Firefox/Iceweasel under ED since Wheezy, but even then it was nigh unusable. The "Quantum update" was mainly about parallelizing things, which is great on a modern x86 PC with umpteen cores, but useless on a single-core Cortex A8. On my EEE 901 netbook I see basically no speed improvement, because all the puny Atom N270 has to offer in terms of parallelizing is hyperthreading of a single core. What I see is, that now both threads are running at 100% for a minute instead of one, until the GUI is loaded. Quote:
When I started toying around with Easy Debian I pretty soon decided that I wouldn't compile on the N900. But I also was too lazy to properly learn how to cross-compile. Qemu was unbearably slow (even on my i7-2700k it was slower than on the N900), so I decided to buy a Cubieboard 2. Edit: Wait a second, I believe this actually IS the watchdog: Quote:

Here are some commands that you may be interested in. I use them to build my own kernel for Maemo Leste: Code:
