Wikiwide | Hmm, my N900's cellular antenna (near battery, see antenna locations at https://david.gnedt.at/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/n900_antenna_locations.jpg ) is worn to the extent that I can see copper, and that copper is half-covered by green rust. | 00:20 |

Wikiwide | But I don't think I have any problems with cellular reception | 00:20 |

bleb | anyone here know how to mount a symbian s60 device on linux? | 21:29 |
bleb | it shows up in dmesg but not lsblk | 21:29 |
bleb | and when i plug it in, the phone displays a dialog which lets me select mass storage mode, but this has no effect (doesn't show up in dmesg) | 21:29 |
bleb | anyone have experience with this crap? | 21:29 |
sicelo | bad cable? | 21:32 |
Vajb | maybe it could work with wine? | 21:32 |
bleb | just tried 2 other cables so i don't think that's it | 21:41 |
bleb | Vajb: nokia used to have this "PC suite" thing, and it's one of the options next to "mass storage mode" | 21:41 |
bleb | i think the PC suite might require wine but mass storage doesn't normally have an application associated with it | 21:42 |
bleb | so like idk what software i would run on wine | 21:42 |
sicelo | what symbian phone? | 21:43 |
bleb | e52 | 21:43 |
Vajb | I can't recall if I ever get my Symbian phone to mount in linux | 21:45 |
sicelo | that one should not have any issues really with mass storage mode. | 21:45 |
sicelo | wut! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_E52/E55 | 21:46 |
sicelo | MTP? ... i didn't know Symbian supported that | 21:47 |
bleb | sicelo: so i was able to get the photos off it with gphoto2 | 22:05 |
bleb | but no luck as far as exploring the filesystem, backing up contacts/texts, etc. | 22:05 |
sicelo | you cna't backup contacts/texts via mass storage on any device anyway ... | 22:10 |
sicelo | *can't | 22:10 |
sicelo | you'd need PC Suite for that | 22:11 |
bleb | ah | 22:15 |
bleb | i don't think it works in wine | 22:16 |
bleb | but backing up contacts/texts is rare enough that i could do it in a windows vm | 22:16 |
bleb | sicelo: do you know anything about developing apps with pys60? | 22:17 |
bleb | like would that require PC Suite? | 22:17 |
sicelo | i tried it once on my N-Gage | 22:17 |
sicelo | anyway, shouldn't need a pc at all | 22:17 |
bleb | sicelo: you mean for pys60? or for anything | 22:18 |
sicelo | pys60 | 22:19 |
bleb | how would that work? i thought side loading apps requires you to copy the .sisx file to some directory on the phone | 22:20 |
Sicelo009N | not sure i understand you now - if you have pys60 installed, what do you need a .sisx file for? | 22:21 |
bleb | oh i'm not sure | 22:24 |
bleb | i haven't done any devleopment yet | 22:24 |
bleb | how would you normally develop apps in pys60? | 22:24 |
Sicelo009N | i did really basic tests (and N-Gage) is really old phone anywy. but the python interpret works as usual | 22:25 |
Sicelo009N | since it's python, surely it has to be .py text files | 22:26 |
bleb | Sicelo009N: so how do you get them from your computer to the phone? | 22:26 |
Sicelo009N | if you wrote them on pc, then of course, you'd need usb mass storage, or bluetooth | 22:27 |
bleb | i guess you could put them on a web server | 22:27 |
Sicelo009N | that too | 22:28 |
bleb | then download them manually from your phone | 22:28 |
Sicelo009N | symbian tended to have high-quality applications. unlike what we're served by the other ecosystems nowadays | 22:33 |
inz | Symbian "C++" was so painful that all it repelled all low-quality developers | 22:34 |
bleb | lol yeah | 22:34 |
bleb | i'm always wary of stuff written in modern languages... they make things so easy that shitty developers can get things to pass tests | 22:35 |
Sicelo009N | :-) | 22:35 |
ShadowJK | Symbian made it extremely difficult to write anything that used power | 22:48 |
