Unique311seling for 11005:25
Unique311ot bad05:26
[mbm]doesn't seem like that long ago that my desktop systems in total was less than 8G05:27
Unique311remember a couple of months ago i was planning to get a 4gb...8gb reasonable price05:27
Unique311lol05:28
Unique311i started oout with 40gb05:28
Unique311wonder if im going to feel like u do in a couple of years if not months mbm05:29
[mbm]we're getting to the point where terrabyte desktop systems aren't that unusual05:30
jaebirdmyren: ADATA Class 2 from newegg.com05:30
jaebird~$72.00 US shipped05:31
Unique311good price05:31
jaebirdthat is what I thought...seeing as I got a 2GB for 60 less than 6 months ago!05:32
Unique311lo05:32
Unique3116 months is a while ago05:33
chibiAcydlol, my  n800 seems so tiny since most of my systems in house have atleast 2tb05:33
*** JoshTriplett has joined #maemo05:33
Unique311whats 6 months in computer age?05:33
*** Snelhest has quit IRC05:33
chibiAcydtechnology doubles 4-6 months05:34
*** Snelhest has joined #maemo05:34
JoshTriplettMy n800 locks up on the boot screen, when the progress bar reaches the top, and I have to remove the battery to get it to shut off.  I can sometimes get it to boot, by plugging in the power first and booting from there, which sometimes skips the progress screen and goes straight to the home screen.  With it booted, how could I go about diagnosing the boot failures?05:35
jaebirddo you have dropbear server?05:35
JoshTriplettjaebird: Yes.05:35
jaebirdthere was a bad update yesterday05:35
[mbm]update it to the latest05:35
jaebirdyou need to update again05:35
JoshTriplettjaebird: Oh?  Cool.05:35
JoshTriplettjaebird: Thanks.05:35
jaebirdi did not realize it till it was too late for my flashing finger!05:36
jaebirdthought it was canola screwing up again :|05:36
JoshTriplettWhy does booting from the charge screen bypass it?05:36
jaebirdit is looking for random data...so just mash the keys like a wild man05:37
JoshTriplettOh?05:37
JoshTriplettWill movement on the screen work?05:37
jaebirdmine only bypassed it once...then I restarted05:37
jaebirddon't think the ui is loaded yet05:37
[mbm]random data is generated based on when interrupts occur05:37
JoshTriplettLet me guess; it pulls from /dev/random rather than /dev/urandom?05:37
[mbm]JoshTriplett: yep05:38
jaebirdsomething like that05:38
[mbm]the update switches it to urandom05:38
JoshTriplettAnd does so on every boot for some reason?05:38
jaebirdwhat mbm said05:38
jaebirdit on the ML05:38
jaebirdwhat I05:38
[mbm]hmm .. could have sworn mobuzztv.com worked in the n800 browser last week05:38
chibiAcyddid the om-weather reboot problem get fixed yet?05:39
jaebirdwhat i'd like is for the backup to _really_ backup!05:39
* [mbm] wonders if mobuzz updated or if his n800 broke05:39
JoshTriplettjaebird: Yeah, seconded.  You can customize it to fix that, but it should do so by default...05:39
* JoshTriplett reboots after updating...05:39
*** behdad has joined #maemo05:39
jaebirdi'm loving the tomiko sudoko clone...lots of time wasted for me05:40
JoshTriplettYay, it worked!05:40
JoshTriplettjaebird, [mbm]: thank you.05:40
jaebirdno prob...05:41
JoshTriplettNow I just need to figure out why the dhcp client sometimes fails to send the hostname to my DHCP/DNS server, so I can't reach it by name, only by IP.05:41
jaebirdI finally put some tape on my battery so that I can get it out easier05:41
JoshTriplettjaebird: Heh.05:42
[mbm]remember that silver tab that was stuck to the screen? I use that for my battery05:42
jaebirdmbm: good idea05:43
[mbm]I'm used t a very similar tab already being on those types of batteries05:43
jaebirdnot sure why they didn't put a ribbon in there to begin with...05:44
chibiAcydi just tap the corner with my finger and it pops the battery out05:45
[mbm]I've crashed my n800 several times to the point I needed to remove the battery05:45
[mbm](usually my fault)05:46
*** Unique311 has quit IRC05:46
jaebirdi've been doing that but g-forces is one thing that can shorten the life of LI batts05:46
[mbm]not particularly fond of shaking the thing until the battery falls out05:46
jaebirdit just seems like a cleaner solution to _pull_ the battery out05:46
* [mbm] has the power button mapped to softoff or menu05:47
[mbm]which mkes it rather hard to turn off in a crash05:47
*** Unique311 has joined #maemo05:47
jaebirdeven a dip switch inside the battery compartment would be more convenient05:48
Unique311[mbm], you spoke of a sensor app earlier05:49
Unique311a monitor05:49
[mbm]Unique311: I say many things, you'll have to do better to describe it05:49
[mbm]mmc sensors? temp sensor?05:50
Unique311monitor temperature of the cpu05:50
[mbm]ah05:50
Unique311ya05:50
Unique311that was it05:50
[mbm]yeah there's a tmp105 chip hidden somewhere on the board05:50
*** jacques has joined #maemo05:51
[mbm]you can look at /sys/bus/i2c/devices/1-0048/temp1_input05:51
[mbm]if you feel like playing where's waldo - http://www.ee.nmt.edu/~james.smith/n800_no_shields_1200_dpi.jpg05:52
chibiAcydtoo hard to look at on the n800 itself05:54
Unique311ya05:54
chibiAcydi hope when skype comes out that it will support the video/voip05:57
chibiAcydhas anyone taken a look inside the camera barrel yet?06:00
chibiAcydcause a white spot-led would be nice since the camera is inoperable in low light06:03
[mbm]hide an ir blaster somewhere06:03
chibiAcydlol06:03
myrenjust strobe data to the IrDA06:04
[mbm]you've never heard of illuminating with ir?06:04
myrendude, his face has crazy frequency patterns at 56k!06:04

chibiAcydif someone wants to buy me a bga soldering arm i'd be willing to look lol06:20
[mbm]can of duster and an open terminal would tell you the same thing06:21
chibiAcydi'm out of canned air06:21
myrenwhat is the appropriate way to mount a bga?  robotic part picker & heat bath?06:26

Markovhas this been compiled for n800?06:51
Markovor maemo06:51
Markovis there a way to record audio with the n800?06:52
Takisn't there a 'maemo recorder' in extras?06:56
dragornmaemo uses alsa, so I'd expect recording to be pretty standard.  Of course, I say expect with no testing at all06:56
MarkovTak: I don't see anything like that in extras06:57
Takone sec06:57
myrenpocketsphinx?!06:57
myrenyou must be shiitting me06:57
* myren remembers sphinx206:57
Markovwhy?06:57
myrensphinx was some scarry software a long time ago06:57
Markovmyren: ?? is it crap?06:57
myrenno, but you generally have to have had built the software to ahve any idea of how to use it06:58

disqmaemo-mapper08:31
Prez_what is it?08:31
disqit lets you browse google maps and cache them, also gps integration08:32
* [mbm] learning all about crashing the dsp :/08:33
*** matt_c has quit IRC08:33
Prez_wow, i have a garmin gps, definetly will check it out08:33
disqPrez_: check the maemo garage for apps. also the applicationcatalog2006 in maemo.org/maemowiki, though it's kinda outdated08:33
[mbm]if you want to be a geek, the first thing you do is enable redpill and rd modes08:34
Prez_i use my linux pc with gnokii to send sms messages, anything like that 4 n800?08:34
*** greentux has joined #maemo08:34
disqthe applicationcatalog2006 is for IT2006 (that's nokia 770) but most of the apps work with the IT2007 (that's what n800 runs) fine08:34
bergiedisq: how does using this instead sound? http://downloads.maemo.org/08:35

acydlordi've neverhad the joy of having the flu09:20
[mbm]I've accepted the fact I tend to feel like crap even on a good day09:20
disqi specifically hate the kind when one of your eyes get all watered up? what's that called, eye flu?09:21
disqso who wants to hildonize rdesktop :P09:25
disqit's possibly ~20 hours work provided you have experience with X11/GDK09:25
[mbm]heh09:26
disqmaybe even 10 :)09:26
[mbm]you know, I'm learning way more than I ever wanted to about the n800's dsp chip :P09:27
[mbm]DSP load info: 10ms average =   0.31% 1sec average = 655.03%  busiest 10ms =   4.90% 1min average =  21.83%  busiest 1s   = 655.21%09:28
[mbm]hmm irssi screwed that up09:29
acydlordlol09:29
disqnothing like using an irc client that's last updated 10 years ago (yep that's me)09:29
spaetz[mbm]: feel free to improve the ogg side of things there :-)09:29
[mbm]spaetz: someone would need to have a windows machine with the ti compiler and write a custom codec09:30
disqogg side kinda falls under dsp programming or gstreamer optimization, no?09:30
[mbm]spaetz: but if you know such a person, the whole api is documented :P09:30
*** hrw|gone is now known as hrw09:31
[mbm]I just love how my dsp's load is 655%09:31
[mbm]mostly because it's crashed09:32
disqhow do you read it09:32
[mbm]cat /sys/devices/platform/dsp/loadinfo09:33
disq1sec average = 543.17% busiest 10ms = 100.00%09:33
disqhow's that09:33
disq10ms average = 420.43%09:33
[mbm]I have yet to look at that when my dsp is actually idle09:33
disqand i'm browsing thru strings in osso-media-server09:34
disqlawyer love.09:34
*** hrw has left #maemo09:35
[mbm]also fun to look at mblog in the same dir09:36
disqthat's interesting.. osso-media-server reads what to do with the content-type from gconf09:38
disq<default>[video/x-h263,hantro4100dec,xvimagesink]</default>09:39
disqand stuff like that09:39
[mbm]yeah saw that09:39
[mbm]there was some divx stuff in there too09:40
acydlorddo any of the gstreamer packages for mplayer add xvid support?09:41
*** bergie has joined #maemo09:41
*** Eloi has joined #maemo09:42
disqheh.. again, it reads the volume level it should play from gconf, /apps/osso/osso-music-player/volume (and mute)09:42
disqso it's possible there's no real api to control the media server09:43
disqand i was expecting fancy dbus support09:43
[mbm]noticed that when I crashed the dsp, the master volume stayed but the internet radio volume was at max09:45
disqi guess it's time for a new enh in bugzilla09:46
[mbm]wonder what the chances are of a flash player update09:50
disqit's known that the internal firmware build plays flash videos much better. so it's rumorable that they also updated it? :P09:51
[mbm]just finding less sites support flash709:51
disqhttps://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1125 vote if you're interested (ooh, spam)09:55
[mbm]hmm backlight flickers a bit when the system is busy09:58
[mbm]actually seems to be a side effect of being on the charger10:01
[mbm]ok, enough screwing with the dsp .. doesn't seem to be a good way to bootstrap it once it's hung10:03

*** c0ffee has joined #maemo11:03
VeggenSo - I don't use gaim, for example. I prefer to use the jabber<-><something>-gateway mechanism. That way,I get everything into my jabber client.11:04
ptmancosmo_: you seem to be using the right server, as far as I can tell11:04
Veggen....and when here, I even use bitlbee ---> everything into my IRC client ;-)11:04
ptmanVeggen: what gateway-software have you got installed and where?11:04
ptmanthat setup sounds quite cool11:04
ptmanI would like to have an optional IRC->jabber gateway, so that when I'm not at some computer, I could access my IRC via the N80011:05

VeggenBut I can access jabber from my IRC.11:08
ptmanVeggen: I found a couple of IRC to jabber proxies, haven't just had time to check them out11:08
ptmanso they definately exist11:08
Veggenptman: If you have jabber, and your jabber-server supports it, there is ways to access AIM/yahoo/whatever-IM through jabber.11:09
VeggenI use that, to get notifications for everything well integrated into my N800.11:09

jameyGTK uses Cairo which has opengl backend, I think there might also be an opengl canvas for GTK15:54

k-sjamey: 1) GTK doesn't use Cairo everywhere15:55

dragornmqu: If that gives you some sort of benchmark.  I suppose you could see what the flash mapping is - if the initfs is after the kernel, then "worst case" is you blow away part of your initfs and it won't boot anymore, and you just flash the kernel and initfs back.  If something more critical lives after the kernel, you have to worry more.17:25

dragornthere were several wince devices which used powervr to accelerate the video playback very nicely19:36

ajturnerok, so the other day some app mgr update hosed my N800 to where it will boot showing the progress bar then hang23:56
ajturnerI finally got a liinux live cd and enable-rd-mode, but now it just hangs w/o even showing the blue bar23:56
mgedminlet me guess, you have dropbear installed?23:57
ajturnerwas that the culprit?23:57
mgedminyup23:57
ajturneryeah, up'd dropbear & canola23:57
ajturnerso what is the resolution23:57
ajturner:)23:57
mgedminpressing the keypad keys randomly to populate the kernel's entropy pool23:57
mgedminand one it boots, upgrade dropbear asap23:58
mgedminI don't know exactly how long you have to keep pressing the keys23:58
mgedminI use openssh instead of dropbear23:58
mgedminbut this problem was mentioned several times in the mailing list during the last several days23:58
