Re: Nokia & AEGIS open-mode
 

aegis installing app is normal under open/non open mode .

Re: Nokia & AEGIS open-mode
 

I don't know how to test this . I tried to install opptimizer and it fails .

RM696-21-3_PR_001:/home/user/MyDocs# dpkg -i opptimizer_1.5.4_armel.deb

Re: Nokia & AEGIS open-mode
 

To check if you are in open mode or not, type in "accli -I" in terminal.

Re: Nokia & AEGIS open-mode
 

You were suppose to do this when installing opptimizer:
/usr/sbin/incept opptimizer_1.5.4_armel.deb
/usr/sbin/incept opptimizer-ui_1.2.7_armel.deb

And this is after you install inception.

If you want to install it without inception and in open mode, do this:
devel-su
rootme
cd /home/user/MyDocs

AEGIS_FIXED_ORIGIN=com.nokia.maemo dpkg -i opptimizer_1.5.4_armel.deb

AEGIS_FIXED_ORIGIN=com.nokia.maemo dpkg -i opptimizer-ui_1.2.7_armel.deb

Re: Nokia & AEGIS open-mode
 

accli -l shows me few credentials but AEGIS_FIXED_ORIGIN works well and faster . :)

Credentials:
UID::root
GID::root
CAP::chown
CAP::fsetid
CAP::setgid
CAP::setuid
CAP::net_bind_service
CAP::sys_chroot
CAP::sys_resource
CAP::sys_tty_config
GRP::root

Re: One report and one update request:
 

Hi, I meant, that the links provided by wolke are the links for the PR1.1 version.
Since we are at PR1.3 (and downgrade is not viable/wishable/possible afaik) it would be good to include the current link to the patched kernel (see my last post).

There is actually no "unpatched" kernel anymore under maemo.cloud-7.de. You get it anyway by resetting to normal mode.

And the BigScaryWarning works as you added, but you could remove it from the list of 'won't work' ... to avoid confusion.

Yes, that's all. I just found it confusing when going to open mode and using your thread as a focal point of information.
Thank you.

Re: One report and one update request:
 

Feel free to copy everything in that post, edit it, & then post back into this thread.
I will then add it to the OP (with references to you for providing the update)...

Cheers.

Accounts signed out when I turn on n9
 

When I turn on my n9, all my accounts are signed out, and it asks me for my passwords. It only happens when I turn on my phone after turning it on. I recently installed nitdroid if that helps. Or maybe I just clicked a security feature on on accident?

Re: Nokia & AEGIS open-mode
 

byteninja2,

You are now in open mode so you have to delete your accounts by deleting 3 directories via typing the following in terminal:

Reboot and then set-up your accounts again; it won't ask for passwords after the first reboot...

Accounts signed out when i start my n9
 

When i turn on my n9, my accounts are all signed out, and it asks me for my passwords. I am on PR 1.3 and recently installed nitdrdroid.

Did you try what thedead1440 told you here?

Re: Nokia & AEGIS open-mode
 

jalyst,

Please add to your OP the instructions on what to do after flashing open mode kernel:

Openmode - Removing Aegis mounts:

Re: Nokia & AEGIS open-mode
 

Done
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...76#post1150176

Re: Nokia & AEGIS open-mode
 

No, don't do that. Every method to “clear the aegisfs mounts” that I've read has been more stupid than the previous one. Remove the aegia mounts and you will get weird bugs ranging from slow GPS locks to higher battery usage (because of processes crashing repeteadly in the background). My N950 has been aegis-less for a while (removed from the kernel and userspace libs) and there are plenty of randomly placed calls to Aegis that will fail if you do the above.

Just reflash, dammit. Its not that hard and you do not have to do anything afterwards.

If you really want to avoid reflashing, at least use apscli. But then, please, don't.

Re: Nokia & AEGIS open-mode
 

Ah now that you mention it I vaguely do recall all that...

Care to review the OP & confirm that the entire process is in-line with your entire approach?

I'll update the OP accordingly soon... Thanks.

Re: Nokia & AEGIS open-mode
 

There is no need to remove clear aegis mounts, you can have fully working aegis also in open mode (as long as you don't follow bad instructions).

Re: Nokia & AEGIS open-mode
 

does anyone have a reasonable way to backup and restore accounts for email?

the database is simple and the structure is straightforward. backing it up {either by copying the db or dumping the relevant tables to csv/etc}, reflashing firmware+emmc+kernel, restoring the db, removing the aegis mount points, and restoring it actually works sometimes.

the other half, it either prompts for the passwords at each reboot, or it does this weird thing where it prompts for the username and email constantly, and then no matter what you enter, it doesnt work. both problems do not go away unless you remove the aegis mount points and account dir, and manually re-enter the accounts.


this is literally the only manual restore task i have to do when i reflash.

i understand that this may sound over-the-top whiny, but its important to me, as part of my system for managing my computers.

Re: Nokia & AEGIS open-mode
 

to illustrate how the no-accounts-restore is a needle in my eye, i wrote you a novel:

this is my restore process:
1) reflash, enable dev mode, devel-su -c passwd user
2) restore.sh from my laptop
3) type in my 6 stupid email accounts by hand

i manage my phone config and data from my laptop. when i install a package, i add it to my package-installer script or my folder of debs, and then run package-installer. next time i reflash, that package is installed automatically.
i backup my SMS and phone call log nightly, in plaintext, using smsbackuprestore. when i reflash, i automatically pop the last 30 days of texts and calls on, keeping everything on my laptop.
i also sync my DCIM, contacts, music library, swype dictionary, qtodos, and pidgin logs nightly with my laptop.

restore.sh handles restoring that stuff, and everything else {vkb, desktop launcher arrangement, drive settings/cities, gconfs, meecast, lpsmagic....} and i STILL have to avoid reflashing because of the goddamn email accounts.

i do the same exact thing with my laptop, my n900, my ddwrt router, and my raspberry pi, knowing if i lost one of them tragically, im less than an hour from full recovery after replacement, without having to store giant backups of file systems.

Re: Nokia & AEGIS open-mode
 

If you re-create accounts aegis stores by using openmode keys. it remembers the passwords accross reboots.

What goes to backup and restore, if you use backup&restore framework with opensh capabilities from shellscript you can also restore email accounts without any problems.

I always have aegis fully running when beeing in open mode, and I have everything working without problems. Stock kernel with AEGIS_FIXED_ORIGIN export does miracles :)

Re: Nokia & AEGIS open-mode
 

thanks for your response! sorry, its not quite what im talking about.

1) everyone has aegis working correctly in openmode, unless they flashed the kernel without flashing emmc+fw, or removed certain aegis mountpoints. {and i already alias dpkg and apt-get with afo=nokia.}

2) ovi backup&restore framework is manual, and its thick.
it dumps an inscrutable binary and does not permit incremental adjustments.
however, i didnt know that there was a CLI api for it {i thought you had to use a gui tool.}
im going to investigate whether it can be configured to backup/restore ONLY accounts, and leave packages and sms to me. if it can, this is still a step up from manually entering it.

Re: Nokia & AEGIS open-mode
 

accounts-backup is a binary which seems to just copy ~/.accounts/accounts.db to accounts.db.bak.

accounts-restore is a shell script which removes the accounts db and replaces it with accounts.db.bak; if this doesnt exist, accounts-restore simply removes your accounts db.

so, this is literally the same as what i already do. copying the db to my laptop, reflashing, and replacing the db. it does not work.

Re: Nokia & AEGIS open-mode
 

For removing aegisfs from process list just comment start aegisfs line in /etc/init/group-mce.conf and then reboot your device.

Re: Nokia & AEGIS open-mode
 

ok,if not with the way removing this dirs so then how to fix password issue,which is happening after openmode?

Re: Nokia & AEGIS open-mode
 

just remove .accounts folder and create accounts again

Re: Nokia & AEGIS open-mode
 

a bit late to ask, 5 years later, but is there a wiki page corresponding to the most up-to-date info from this conversation?
