06:09:59speachythat error you reported only comes from the _native_ bootloader.
06:10:45speachymeanwhile if tou see the v_v failed message the stock fw didn't install that updafe file anyway, so it's moot.
06:11:11speachyyouput the _native_ bootloader on there, install the 'erosqnative' firmware image.
06:12:04speachyIf you're using the 1.5.1 rbutil binary, it doessn't know anything about the native version.
06:13:41speachyso, please, follow hte steps on the wiki page, under " Native Port Installation (the new way, with update files)" after blowing away the entire .rockbox directory.

12:43:32Guest64Hello. I am checked out at v3.15 and I'm trying to build the docker image for crosscompilation. In the build phase it says that it's using crosstool-ng-1.13.2 and I currently get stuck at: [WARN ]    Could not retrieve 'eglibc-2_12'
12:43:33Guest64I looked it up and for debian eglibc has been apparently merged into glibc from what I understand but I can see the files are still located on the server specified in the build script.

12:59:18spork3.15 is very old
13:00
13:00:42sporkeither go for current rockbox or get an equally old debian ?
13:00:59spork(i recommend the first)
13:01:44sporka lot has improved in 5 years
13:02:58CH23oh boy has it been that long already since 3.15?
13:16:41 Join dconrad [0] (~dconrad@152.117.104.232)
13:20:52Guest64Isn't 3.15 the latest stable though?
13:22:39Guest64Also, I am building the docker image which is using debian 9 so I do have the proper environment for it.
13:22:45sporkit is the latest release
13:23:22sporkunless you have a no longer supported device, you want current rockbox
13:23:37Guest64Ok, so you mean master? Master is not stable though.
13:23:51sporkwhat do you exepct from 'stable'
13:24:08Guest64Is that a question?
13:24:14sporkwhat do you exepct from 'stable' ?
13:24:27sporkexpect even
13:24:40Guest64For the software to be stable.
13:24:57Guest64Hence why I am on the last release which is 3.15 and is known to be stable.
13:24:59sporkrockbox is under continous development, 'stable' is not a quality mark
13:25:06sporkno it is not
13:25:22spork3.15 is known to have issues that have been long resolved
13:25:45sporktime and effort is the only reason no new 'stable' has been named
13:27:07sporkwhich device do you want to build for ?
13:34:18Guest64iPod 6g
13:34:25Guest64I'll try some commits from 2022 I guess
13:34:38Guest64Thanks

15:27:35paulcarrotyhey, got issues like this one: https://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/12801?string=discharging&type%5B0%5D=2
15:27:38_bilgus_gxsh you probably just need to supply the file as an argument to the script
15:28:33paulcarrotyon ~1 month old dev build. any workarounds?
15:33:51_bilgus_paulcarroty, I think the fuze+ (imx23) has its own dedicated battery mgmt chip and we do have a TOPOFF mode that times out after 30 mins
15:35:31_bilgus_you should be able to goto the debug menu and see what mode it is currently in
15:36:04_bilgus_after that I'd say maybe an issue with the USB cord disconnecting and starting the charge over??
15:37:02_bilgus_does it do this same behavior with a wall type charger (ora differentlower power wattage one)
15:39:14paulcarrotybilgus_: it's charging, then in random time can discharge to -20%, then will start again.
15:39:51paulcarrotyalso just after moment of disconnect it can loose 10-15% battery
15:40:25paulcarrotywill test will low power charger tomorrow

15:44:29 Quit dconrad (Client Quit)
15:46:44_bilgus_what I can do is add a bit of logic to disable charging after a top off for say 10 mins but that all depends if the device is getting to the full charge mark
15:47:26_bilgus_if its not there is nothing we can do that won't be wrong at some other point in the cycle and i'd say your battery is probably the issue
15:50:12paulcarrotybattery can do 15 hrs runtime, not new, but not dying yet

16:13:59_bilgus_chris_s, I think its fine to rename in place since we regen now with every build
16:15:24chris_sok thanks
16:15:43_bilgus_and speach y has since implemented caching on the voice pool so its no longer such a drag

16:17:28chris_s_bilgus_ ah great, yeah that's kind of what I remembered, just a little unsure
16:18:09 Join Everything [0] (~Everythin@46.211.80.75)
16:20:15_bilgus_well thinking about it though that does mean you need to unzip the whole folder instead of picking the bin and lang files, doubt that matters to users
16:20:30 Quit aigo (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
16:23:43_bilgus_hmm maybe it should still be marked deprecated though so it would not let the older lang files and voices bring up the wrong phrase
16:24:42_bilgus_nah just bump the lang version
16:25:38Guest96I managed to build it( I had to use debian stretch to make it build, not sure why it kept failing with newer versions). I copied the updated files to my existing installation. Is that the right thing to do or do I also have to remove my exiting configuration files?
16:32:31user890104Guest96: it's not a problem to copy the files over the old installation, as long as you accept all replace prompts (or use cp, which will do this by default)
16:32:59Guest96Cool, thanks
16:33:32_bilgus_oh apparently the lang version thing is gone now
16:33:44_bilgus_hmm not sure speachy Ideas?
16:34:20user890104Guest96: also, if you need a container image for arm crosscompilation specifically, feel free to use the image from my container registry: registry.gitlab.com/user890104/rockbox-dev:latest
16:34:33Guest96Welp, it crashed as soon as I plugged it into my PC so that's fun. It has done it before so no biggie.
16:34:35user890104(it does not have MIPS and the other toolchains)
16:35:39Guest96user890104: I wish I had known that earlier as I spent 3 hours trying to get the docker container to build and it always failed(had to manually do everything in interactive mode with debian:9 image lol)
16:35:41user890104also its source Dockerfile is here: https://gitlab.com/user890104/rockbox-dev/-/blob/master/Dockerfile?ref_type=heads
16:35:54user890104debian 9 is old even for me :)
16:37:01Guest96It refused to build on anything newer
16:37:07user890104as an added bonus, here's my GitLab CI config, that builds for ipodnano2g and ipod6g on every git push: https://gitlab.com/user890104/rockbox/-/blob/ipodnano3g4g/.gitlab-ci.yml?ref_type=heads
16:37:45user890104but keep in mind that's up to date with Git master branch. yes, there hasn't been an official release, but a 4.0 is being prepared
16:39:41user890104there is a draft of the major changes, so you can see for yourself how much has changed since 3.15: https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/MajorChanges

19:48:18speachychris_s: yeah, not strictly necessary any more, but our "incompatible voice file" detection is rather crude. (I think it just checks that the number of entries matches what was compiled in)

19:51:16speachyGuest96: And that is why we say to just use master...
19:51:41speachythere's also this: https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/ReleaseNotes400 for a high level overview.
19:53:50speachyunless there is a _specific_ bug you are trying to avoid (or are attempting to narrow down when it was introduced) current master is _vastly_ superior to 3.15 in every respect. Far fewer known bugs too.

20:07:58chris_sI think it's 4 removed and 3 added in this particular case, so it should work out?
20:11:38speachyI think so. We talked about embedding the checksum of the language file into the voicefile or something like that.
20:15:00speachyI do want to try and batch together things that trigger the need for translation updates

21:46:30VanIsBadAtNamesI have Rockbox installed on a Sansa Fuze+ and keep running into weird bugs and I wanna be sure if it's just me dealing with them or if it's a problem with the Fuze+ itself
21:47:07VanIsBadAtNamesJust now I tried plugging it in and it threw me a panic message for some reason. Its unresponsive and I can't even power cycle, I have to wait for it to die
21:47:32VanIsBadAtNamesSimilar thing happened a few days ago (when it all started) where it went into panic mode just because I tried running something off a playlist and again, I had to let the battery run out
21:48:38VanIsBadAtNamesWhenever this happens and I have to let the battery run out when I turn it back on it makes this weird glitchy hiss noise whenever I try using headphones. I have to turn it off, boot into the default OS, then turn it off again and boot into Rockbox for it to go away
21:50:03VanIsBadAtNamesAll of these problems started on Friday, I don't know what caused them and can't find anything that would help me. Most people having any similar issues aren't running on a Sansa Fuze+. Part of me wants to just get an Aigo Eros Q or an iPod Classic instead but I don't know if this is the Fuze's problem or if I screwed something up
21:50:07VanIsBadAtNamesCan anyone help me with this?

22:49:34speachyOdds are that the flash contents are corrupted −− potentially because it's simply wearing out.
22:50:12speachy(would be informative to compare the firmware zip file contents with what's actually on the device's .rockbox directory.
22:52:06speachy...that is the fate that will eventually befall all players with onboard flash.
22:53:25speachydepending on the vintage of the bootloader on that thing it would support booting rockbox off of the SD card instead.
