DocScrutinizer-8Stskeeps: aah better. thnx00:02
_JP_crashanddie: or export as CSV and import to N900 works too00:02
meceI have a question. samba. Does it do the samba painlessly? Talking N900 here.00:02
crashanddie_JP_: that's export/import, not sync00:02
Stskeepsmece: it was removed in maemo500:03
*** Frye_ has quit IRC00:03
_JP_crashanddie: good point, didnt read you needed sync  ;)00:03
Stskeepsmece: still works with 3rd party probably00:03
Arkenoicrashanddie, :-)) the part which is likely to fail is n900<->google :-(00:03
crashanddieArkenoi: works fine here00:03
Arkenoias there is no direct way, just activesync00:03
Arkenoiand you will probably lose some contact fields00:04
crashanddiehave had contact sync working since I got the device a few months ago now00:04
meceStskeeps, why would it be removed? The sense that makes... is not!00:04
Arkenoisome people report they had sip id's lost from addressbook00:05

konttoriIf they are in extras, they are optified ;)00:07

Ceron^why does n900 whine about non authorisized ip when trying t00:42
Ceron^o00:42
Ceron^to use devle package00:42
lardmanam intereted in hacking some mp3 codec support into bluez a2dp00:42
Ceron^packages00:42
RST38hlardman: most bt headphones support a2dp now00:43
RST38hlardman: how n900 handles those is a different subject though00:43
lardmanRST38h: yeah, but it's the codec used to transfer the data00:43
*** Dantonic has quit IRC00:43
RST38hyep00:43
odin_ah the URL handler doesn't work by defaukt... "!opera-remote" ?  what should maemo5 use ?00:43
lardmane.g. SBC is standard and required, mp3, atrac, apt-x, etc are possible00:43
XisdibikRST38h: for the noobies (me) whats A2DP :)00:44
lardmanodin_: mime handler?00:44
*** netvandal has joined #maemo00:44
odin_lardman, no to make another browser window spawn to a url... trying "browser http://foobar.com"00:44
lardmanXisdibik: a BT profile which allows stereo music listening00:44
lardmanodin_: ah, ok00:44
Xisdibiklardman: ah thats the stereo listening geek talk ;) gotcha00:44
ds3you want A2DP00:44
*** BBNS has quit IRC00:44
*** BBNS has joined #maemo00:45
lardmanI have a2dp, I want something better than sbc00:45
odin_lardman, not that.. I just want to went a message to dbus to open a browser window..00:45
Ceron^why cant i use extras-devel00:46
lardmanodin_: ah ok00:46
odin_browser.launch  --help ....Segmentation fault  (not that!)00:46
lardmanodin_: take a look at web.c in maemo-barcode, there's some code in there to do that using dbus00:46
ds3are there cheap headphones that support anything besides SBC?00:46
odin_X-Osso-URI-Action-Open ??00:46
lardmands3: well that's why I wanted people to test what they have :)00:47
lardmanSony seem to do so, but the i.talk ones do too (at least some) and they are pretty cheap00:47
ds3lardman: donate a N900 and I'll test it against my battery of assorted cheap A2DP devices ;)00:47
lardmanlol00:47
ds3got at least 3 different ones00:47
lardmanI'll give it some thought....00:47
ds3all acquired for sub $2500:48
*** tchan has joined #maemo00:48
lardmanwell I know one that does mp3 for £20, but thought some info gathering would be interesting too00:48
ds3in the case of the N series, MP3 would mean syncing up with the DSP, right?00:49
odin_what does /usr/sbin/osso-usb-mass-storage-enable.sh do ?00:49
* Arkenoi wonders if makers of bh902 headset are really humans00:49
Arkenoimust be elves or something00:49
lardmands3: no, would be a straight pass through00:49
*** crashanddie has quit IRC00:49
BernardVlardman: It's not a cheap one, but a good one: the sennheiser00:49
BernardVPXC 310 BT00:49
ds3lardman: so you just care about playing pre-encoded MP3s?00:49
lardmanArkenoi: do you need pointy ears to use it? ;)00:50
lardmands3: yes00:50
Arkenoilardman: looks like that00:50
ds3ah okay00:50
Arkenoiit does not fit regular human ear at all00:50
lardmands3: if you need to change encoding then Bluez already does that and encodes to sbc00:50
lardmanbut if your music is in mp3 form, why waste the cpu cycles and produce poorer quality sound, etc00:51
ds3someone of us prefer music in OGG/Vorbis format00:51
lardmanwell you're screwed I'm afraid00:51
ds3:P00:51
lardmanunless someone decides to implement a vorbis decoder on the headphones00:51
*** Dr_Cain has joined #maemo00:51
lardmanwhat's the bitrate?00:52
ds3either 128 or 25600:52
ds3nothing specatular00:52
lardmanthough actually the processing overhead is probably the big limiting factor here actually00:52
BernardVIf you have ogg support you can play flac if I'm correct00:52
*** Erod has quit IRC00:52
lardmanwell I'm just talking about hw which contains a decoder for given codecs00:53
*** mece1 has quit IRC00:53
lardmanand those are sbc + optionally mp3, atrac, apt-x00:53
ds3I would nice to move those A2DP devices from the testing pile to the using pile00:53
lardmanI have mp3 music, so is of interest to me00:53
ds3tired of nearly choking myself on the headphone cords00:53
lardmands3: does it not work on an n8x0?00:53
ds3lardman: I decided against trying the A2DP hacks on the N80000:54
lardmanI had hoped to run the tremor -> sbc stuff all on the dsp, but tremor beat me00:54
lardmands3: well it can sound a bit odd, but is not too bad00:54
lardmanon n900 sounds pretty reasonable00:55
ds3lardman: it is the lack of integration that turned me off00:55
lardmanbut mp3 would be better imo00:55
*** yannj has quit IRC00:55
lardmands3: yeah00:55
ds3ideally, I want to be able to run Maemo mapper and have OGG/Vorbis playing over A2DP00:55
lardmanbut for music is not a big thing - switch headphones on and music comes thro, off and it's out of the speakers, etc00:55
lardmanmusic or instructions?00:56
ds3both ;)00:56
ds3auto muting during instructions00:56
ds3hence the desire for better integration00:56
lardmanwell if you can route via alsa you're ok ;)00:56
lardmanyeah00:56
ds3the thing is the N800 chokes on music decoding AND maemo mapping (just tracking with GPS)00:57
ds3crossing my fingers that the OMAP3 will keep up00:57

*** JamieBennett has quit IRC00:57
lardmanah, a bt issue perhaps00:58
ds3no, I was just trying it with a wired headphone and it chokes00:58
ds3maemo mapper lags behind and it resets00:58
lardmanhmm00:58
*** BBNS has quit IRC00:58

ds3if it matters I am using the maemo media player app00:59
*** BBNS has joined #maemo00:59
ds3(with the vorbis codec hack/addition)00:59
lardmandunno00:59
lardmantremor didn't take that much cpu iirc00:59
ds3but apparently maemo mapper did unless it was a memory thing01:00
lardmancould be a memory bandwidth issue perhaps..?01:00
ds3donno how I'd test that01:00
ds3I suppose I could rig up a Beagle board01:01
lardmanI ported sbc encoding to the dsp in the hope of lowering the cpu load to allow mplayer to play better movies, in fact it just locked the memory and managed 1fps01:01
SpeedEvil:/01:01
ds3actually, now that Maemo5 is out, is there a Mer based on Maemo5 yet with all the A2DP integrations?01:01

AakashPatelWhat's R&D mode for?01:13
Oli``Anybody know how to get an n900 showing up in banshee as a device I can copy music to? I know I can copy the files over manually but a) that sucks and b) it still sucks01:13
lardmandmj7261: more server for the whole lot I think01:13
lardmanon n900?01:13
dmj7261it's just *far* more noticeable anywhere outside talk.01:13
lardmanmakes your kb flash if there are misbehaving processes ;)01:14
lardmandmj7261: talk is on another server01:14
AakashPatelhaha really?01:14
dmj7261that would explain it.01:14
ali1234Oli``: it should "just work" with the banshee mass storage media player extension01:14
dmj7261I suspect that maemo.org is going to get hammered as n900 becomes more popular01:15
ali1234Oli``: but it doesn't - i suspect the extension needs to be told that the n900 is a media player or something01:15
lardmanali1234: sorry, I don't know about it01:15
lardmans/ali1234/Oli``01:15
AakashPatelHow can I tell if the device is in R&D mode or not?01:15
lardmandoes the kb flash when the screen goes off?01:15
Oli``ali1234: f-spot (photo gallery software) is trying to take charge because nautilus thinks it has photos on it... It does, in fairness!01:15
ali1234Oli``: that happens because it sees the DCIM folder (probably)01:16
lardmanOli``: that annoys the hell out of me :)01:16
ali1234Oli``: but there's nothing silimar (that i know of) for media players01:16
AakashPatellardman, nope01:16
ali1234maybe if you put an mp3 on there banshee will twig :)01:16
odin_lardman, found it thanks but still no joy01:16
Oli``ali1234: I'll give it a shot01:16
lardmanAakashPatel: you're ok then; also it would give some info about the kernel, etc., at boot time01:16
ali1234if not, file a bug on banshee :)01:17

DocScrutinizer51UMTS != GSM03:41
nonversationi know, but what you dont understand is03:41
nonversation850mhz03:41
nonversationis not supported03:41
auenf850 is used in not many places03:41
nonversationit appears the philippines uses 850/210003:41
auenfnot compared to 2100/90003:42
nonversationatt uses 85003:42
Arkenoitoo bad nokia abandoned wimax03:42

auenfhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UMTS_networks03:45
auenflot more 900's in there than 850s03:45
auenfn900 isnt a mass market device, thats why its not available in all bands03:46
auenfmaemo 6 will most probably be available in all the bands (couple of different hardware versions i'd expect)03:47
auenf<nonversation> So if im going to spend close to $600 , it might as well be on something I can use 3G on in multiple countries <-- 2100 3g network exists on every continent iirc03:48
Ceron^odin_: what codecs does n900 support by default :P03:48
Ceron^odin_: if i want to watch some .mkv file formats or something like that03:48
odin_Ceron^, I found talk of .mkv in a packages from extra-devel repo03:48
DocScrutinizer51nah, it's plain silly to use GSM bands for UMTS. that,s nonstandard and you mustn't moan if it's not supported by a standard chipset and phone03:49
luke-jrif N900 were more open, would it be possible? ;)03:49
odin_does 3G exists below 1Ghz ?03:49
luke-jr...03:49
luke-jrdoesn't 3G *mean* above 3 GHz?03:50
DocScrutinizer51not standards03:50
odin_no in the UK AFAIK no operator on the 900MHz networks (there are only 2) support 3G on that band03:50
Arkenoiam i right that gsm bands are used for umts in countries where there is no gsm on that frequencies? say, if there is gsm-900, umts may be 850 etc03:50
odin_all operators support > 1.5GHz bands03:50
DocScrutinizer51mope03:51
odin_that is my understanding anyway, we only have 5 operators all claiming "full national coverage" which is in the main true03:51
*** BBNS has quit IRC03:51
auenfArkenoi, the 900/850 umts bands came about by the operators 'upgrading' the towers instead of rolling out a new network on a new frequency03:52
odin_so UK Vodafone and UK O2 both support 900MHz and some other band like 2100, the other 3 operators only support like 2100 (or whatever >1.5GHz bands we have here)03:52
auenfin australia, telstra had CDMA (not wcdma) on 850, they shut it down and turned it into hsdpa03:52
auenfodin_, voda uk prolly only support 900 as 2100/900, 2100 for down, 900 for up (or other way around)03:53

Does anyone have any ideas, or recommendations before I get started.06:17
mallochighDoes anyone even use the sip client in maemo any good?06:18
DocScrutinizer-8yeah,  /join mer! Stskeeps will love you for that06:19
Arkenoiyes, it is quite good06:19
DocScrutinizer-8#mer even06:19
Arkenoimy sip registar is quite picky and i had no luck with sipdroid06:19
Arkenoiit worked with maemo sip client smoothly out of the box06:19
DocScrutinizer-8sipgate working absolutely flawless here06:20
*** rsalveti has quit IRC06:20
Arkenoithe only drawback is there is no UI for selecting codec preference06:21
DocScrutinizer-8even nicely integrated into dialer and phonelog (not dialing from contacts though :-/ )06:21
Arkenoiwhich might be useful if you are going to use sip over edge06:21
*** MegaTron has left #maemo06:21

DocScrutinizer-8maybe we should pester michel deBoer to port twinklephone to maemo06:22
DocScrutinizer-8now with Qt that shouldn't be too hard06:23

*** DangerMaus has joined #maemo09:36

jaem_ johnx what sort of data is this app collecting?09:36
RST38hjohnx: I kinda suspect that the difference in resolution is purely fictional and may be cause by the fact that it is easier to tilt the thing sideways :)09:37
johnxjaem_, as much as possible. at least gps and accelerometer data, and hopefully at least some low quality video out of the 5mp camera09:37
johnxRST38h, cool. with any luck I can get my hands on a "real" (read: single purpose) accelerometer and do some side-by-side testing09:38

PaulFertserArkenoi: exactly. Nokia said well, we checked everything and it's good, if you need faster fix times use our beta-proprietary agps software.11:31
RST38hPaulFertser: I think you have no clear understanding of Nokia's bugfixing process11:32
johnxwould at least be nice to see a "we're looking at it internally. no need to keep confirming it, but please keep voting."11:32
RST38hOr their GPS implementation11:32
PaulFertserStskeeps: i do not care about the issue that much. I care about being nice to the customers. Keeping silence and not admitting the issue is not nice.11:32
kynkywhich works well when you have no cellular signal?11:32
PaulFertserRST38h: indeed. I do not have access to the internal bugtracker. I see from the outside that to anybody who reports a bug the process is very untransparent and frustrating.11:33
RST38hPaulFerster: First of all, Andre Klapper is not really working on Maemo development. He is simply managing the maemo.org Bugzilla.11:33
RST38hPaulFerster: It is not the internal bugtracker issue, it is the issue with you not willing to understand details11:33
PaulFertserRST38h: i know that already11:33
Stskeepshow about we start a bug how to cache AGPS data?11:33
Stskeepsi mean, it should be possible11:33
Stskeepsor pre-cache11:33
kynkyit is possible11:33
RST38hPaulFertser: Perfect. Then you know that a bugtracker comment from Andre DOES NOT constitute any official reaction from Nokia11:34
kynkyjust not implemented11:34
RST38hStskeeps: the above bug isenough11:34
Stskeepsfor travellers11:34
kynkyprob just easier to pair with external bt dongle, which is annoying11:34
PaulFertserRST38h: the idea is that having an internal bugtracker is mad confusing and frustrating to the outsiders. I can't see why you keep defending this broken process. Moreover there's a special ticket tracking migration to the external bugtracker, it's one of the official goals, dating back to 2006.11:34
StskeepsRST38h: it's weird to me that a normal fix isn't possible11:34
StskeepsPaulFertser:we had this discussion once11:35
Stskeepswhy bother repeating it? :P11:35
RST38hPaulFertser: Furthermore, if you knew what you were talking about, you would take into account that whatever software Nokia implements is limited by the GPS hardware used in N810/N900 (TI53xx chip)11:35
PaulFertserRST38h: yes, that's the problem i outlined before: no official responce from nokia whatsoever about quite an important bug. And it's the second time serious problems with gps arise and it's the same shit nokia does again...11:35
PaulFertserStskeeps: (bother repeating) no idea, RST38h is provoking me ;)11:35
RST38hStskeeps: My guess is that it is impossible without adding a lot of code, and THAT is why they are unwilling to start on it11:35

redeemanim wondering, is it normal that the N900 swaps nearly all the time?11:36
RST38hPaul: Well, Nokia cannot replace the physical chip11:36
StskeepsRST38h: remember what chip it is i don't think gps530011:36
kynkythey can implement sw solutions11:36
RST38hAnd Maemo software developers are not responsible for hw design anyway11:36
RST38hStskeeps: It is either 5300 or its next incarnation. A moment.11:36
RST38hStskeeps: they both suck royally though11:36
RST38hkynky: they DID implement a sw solution that requires connectivity11:37
StskeepsRST38h: cos this one is 'more open' afaik11:37
johnxredeeman, yup. it's part of what makes it so good at multitasking11:37
PaulFertserRST38h: the chip is quite possibly ok, i suspect that n810 had a faulty library interfacing to it. Nokia refused to get any debug info from the the proprietary library in the open so this claim is neither confirmed nor dismissed.11:37
RST38hStskeeps: I think this one is NaviLink 535011:37
johnxnokia has /proc/sys/vm/swappiness set at 100 (out of 100), which is frankly awesome to me :)11:37
kynkyRST38h, constant connectivity, if they implemented something llike quickgps, you just need initial connectivity11:37
RST38hPaulFertser: "I think" is opinion, not a fact11:38
redeemanjohnx: ah, i was worried for a while there, but won't that do serious wear on the flash?11:38
PaulFertserRST38h: neither a fact that the chip is faulty. Nokia refused to confirm or deny it.11:38
RST38hjohnx: Is it good or bad? =)11:38
RST38hThe chip is not faulty.11:38
StskeepsPaulFertser: class action suits? :P11:38
RST38hJust week. For this particular fact you do not need Nokia's confirmation.11:38
johnxredeeman, I imagine they've stress tested the heck out of it. From my own (strictly anecdotal) experience, I've been swapping to SD cards for 4 years and haven't killed one yet (from swapping)11:38

kynkyso not gps + agps ?11:39
*** crashanddie_mbp has quit IRC11:39
PaulFertserRST38h: i'm not sure that explains it. After getting the fix the device keeps it in harsh conditions, that probably confirms that selectivity and other physical properties are good enough.11:39
johnxRST38h, it's pretty cool. the kernel hacker who designed that part of the memory subsystem said that he prefers the behavior with swappiness set to 100, but most distros put it between 40 and 60, and the N8x0 had it at 1 when swap was enabled11:39
RST38hStskeeps: I think the minimal solution will require 2 things11:39
RST38hStskeeps: Both are not hard to do, but Nokians apparently have different priorities from the users11:40
PaulFertserRST38h: AGPS means GPS with A capability, not that A is mandatory for decent performance.11:40
*** hannesw_ has quit IRC11:40
RST38hPaulFertser: No.11:40
redeemanjohnx: i know about the guy, but i also disagree strongly with his swapping preferences11:40
redeemanjohnx: that guy does not know anything about a proper desktop experience, he would rather trade jerky window movement and such, for somewhat faster kernel compilation11:40
johnxredeeman, you can probably just echo n > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness11:41
redeemanyeah i already did, but it still swaps alot11:41
RST38hStskeeps: One is keeping the last used ephemeris data. Second is that A-GPS UI with the map that lets me select my location manually and downloads new ephemeris over WiFi11:41
johnxredeeman, even with n = 1?11:41
redeemanwith n = 0 :)11:41
PaulFertserRST38h: well, we have u-blox 4 chip on freerunners, it's an AGPS solution. And we observed exactly that: GPS with capability to load ephemeris/almanac from elsewhere to speed up the fix.11:41
RST38hStskeeps: I wonder if the second one can be done with some dbus command...11:41
redeemanjohnx: it seems to use nearly all the ram11:41
StskeepsRST38h: second one should be easy.. n n8x0 it was a gconf setting11:41
RST38hPaulFertser: Ok, continue using your freerunner.11:41
Arkenoie90 gps worked reasonably well without network connectivity, i guess the chip is the same11:41
PaulFertserRST38h: and keeping the last ephemeris data is ~trivial for our ublox4 chip btw.11:42
RST38hBecause N900s have that NaviLink chip and it is lacking11:42
kynkylinux always uses nearly all ram, or appears todo so!11:42
johnxredeeman, well, it shouldn't swap unless it needs to i nthat configuration. how's the responsiveness with n=0, BTW?11:42
redeemanit actaully seemed more responsive, but it has still swapped abit11:42
redeemanjohnx: but swapping is very broken in linux, it will swap even if it doesn't need to11:42
johnxredeeman, broken compared to ...?11:43
redeemanespecially if you have a tmpfs filesystem mounted11:43
RST38hArkenoi: Some forum postings do say that it is the same gps chip as in n81011:43
redeemanjohnx: i don't know of any system where it works, i just know its somehow broken in linux11:43
PaulFertserRST38h: the only evidence supporting the "weakness" of the n810 chip you've provided so far is that it's declared to be AGPS in the datasheet. I'm not sure it's strong enough to justify poor reception of the ephemeris data from the sats.11:43

redeemanarachnist: lots of people can reproduce this, also on less ram, i suggest you try mount a tmpfs, copy 5GB stuff into it, then you'll have your kernel swap like a madman, also, this happens on atleast debian and gentoo, with both vendor and vanilla kernels11:47

redeemansomewhat old screenshot, but valid nonetheless11:50
RST38hPaulFertser: On the contrary, active refusal to mention GPS in that bulletin (as opposed to AGPS) proves that the chip sucks at GPS11:50
arachnistredeeman: unless 24KB swapped-out or so counts11:50
redeemanarachnist: its less than i get, but still enough to display a problem, unless you used alot ram in the past11:50
PaulFertserRST38h: i'd call that claim a speculation ;)11:51
PaulFertserRST38h: with more debug data from the proprietary library it'd become clear if its cheap weakness or not. Alas nokia refused to provide that.11:51
RST38hPaulFertser: Well, you made way more speculative claims than this one11:51
arachnistredeeman: running 7 or 8 vms on an 8GB box counts as a heavy ram use, i guess :>11:52
redeemanarachnist: depends on how much ram they get11:52
redeemanoh, and a brand new from 32GB ram box: http://redeeman.kaspersandberg.com:8001/ramswap2.png11:52
PaulFertserRST38h: probably yes. I'm still waiting for some solid evidence but nobody's interested to provide it.11:52
Arkenoiin most cases AGPS means GPS with optional assisted mode11:53

*** v2px_ has quit IRC11:55
PaulFertserRST38h: nokia customers've already paid for the devices. And the ticket in question (talking about n810 gps performance problems) gathered enough gps experts to properly evaluate the data. Also providing some debug info is not more than 2-3 hours of volunteer work for the nokia engineer in charge.11:55
Arkenoirst38h: doesn't e90 have ti chip as well? probably even the same one?11:55
johnxredeeman, you ran swapoff/swapon and it immediately filled it with 400MB+?11:56
RST38hArkenoi: Forum postings seem to indicate the same chip as n81011:56
Arkenoithe only situation it showed poor performance was cold fix from moving position11:56
redeemanjohnx: nah, it likes to do it slowly, over a few days11:56
RST38hArkenoi: I have not found more credible data11:56
Arkenoithen it could take 20 minutes or more11:56
redeemanjohnx: but rest assured, at no point does ANYTHING come even close to using full ram, this is basically all the ram it uses, and it doesn't even use it all for disk cache11:56
RST38hPaulFertser: Ok. Could you please tell what you intend to do with that debug info11:56
RST38h?11:56
johnxredeeman, you don't run cron?11:57
RST38hArkenoi: Yea, N810 also had problems with the cold fix from moving position11:57
RST38hArkenoi: Cold fix from stationary took me about 5-7 minutes in Moscow11:57
PaulFertserRST38h: evaluate if that's really the cheap supplying bad/incomplete data or rather the binary processing it is faulty.11:57
RST38hArkenoi: Assisted fix was more like 40 seconds11:58
redeemanjohnx: yes, and the few things that run are simple things like poke a website with curl and such, hardly something that would warrant this11:58
RST38hPaulFertser: And what would you do with that evaluation?11:58
tigerthmm11:59
PaulFertserRST38h: if the chip is faulty, so be it, everybody would understand and calm down. If that's software processing data badly, then it is getting fixed and the happy users will get the performance they expect.11:59
RST38hPaulFertser: You have not answered my question11:59
PaulFertserRST38h: what _i_ would do?11:59
johnxredeeman, submit a bug report, ask for an explanation of the behavior. I honestly don't know, but using that much swap with swappiness=0 looks somewhat odd. It is kind of an old kernel though (up for 393 days!) so maybe there were some changes in the kernel since then ;)12:00
RST38hPaulFertser: Ok, some Nokia employee spends 2-3 hours of paid time, dumps some log, and gices it to you. You evaluate the log. What next?12:00
redeemanjohnx: the 8GB ram box uses .31, and that's not so old12:00
RST38hPaulFertser: To be more precise: what advantage should we all expect from you evaluating the log?12:00
RST38hAre you gonna fix it/12:00
RST38h?12:00
PaulFertserRST38h: post the analisys on the bugtracker along with the verdict. Other folks read it and confirm it's bad chip supplying bad data. Or not. If it's not the chip fault, nokia gets one of their paid employees to fix the binary library.12:01
RST38hOk. So you are not going to fix it, just whine some more?12:01
PaulFertserRST38h: how can one fix a bug in a binary library without access to the sources?12:01
RST38hExactly.12:01
johnxredeeman, no idea. I haven't noticed similar behavior without huge memory load, even with swappiness in the 40-60 range12:02
RST38hAnd if you can't fix anything, then there is no use giving you the log.12:02
PaulFertserRST38h: nokia decided not to share the sources, so that means they took the responsibility to fix it whenever bugs found.12:02
RST38hHave you considered that Nokia may be under NDA with TI in respect to 53xx chips?12:02
PaulFertserRST38h: there's. Analising the problem is an important part of the solution process.12:02
RST38hI.e. they CAN'T open that code to you?12:02
redeemanlol, NDA for GPS chip?12:03
PaulFertserRST38h: if they can't, then they should fix the bugs themselves, simple like that.12:03
RST38hYes, what is strange? 53xx datasheets are not publicly available, so they are probably handed out under NDA12:03
PaulFertserRST38h: but they claim the software is not buggy. Without supporting this claim in any sensible way. I simply do not trust them.12:03
* RST38h suddenly understands that he can probably get those datasheets12:03
RST38hPaulFertser: If you claim that YOUR software is not buggy and I do not trust you, what changes?12:04
PaulFertserRST38h: they should either prove the software is ok or fix the bugs, that's their responsibility, customers paid for that already when buying the device.12:04
RST38hBesides, I can easily believe the software is not buggy, it just does not go the extra mile needed for uplink-less GPS12:04

fredrinlardman: or a table?12:23
PaulFertserfredrin: ublox provides some agps+ long-living precalculating ephemeris service to their customers, so some advances are possible.12:24
RST38hStskeeps: So, that bug tracker title should clearly indicate that it is a bug and [preferably] human lives were los over it12:24

lardmankynde: good12:25
johnxRST38h, that they'd let him in the door with a paper bag that bears an unusual resemblance to a frozen trout?12:25
pekujakynky: there's probably an unofficial package available somewhere12:26
PaulFertserStskeeps: (separating tickets) first of all, the customers should get a clear understanding of the hardware capabilities, i think that's "normal" priority and should be solved first. Second, all available assitance data should be downloaded from the chip and cached before turning it off. Somebody should check if loading old data can in fact harm and take care of that when powering on the chip. That should be the second, probably "enhancement" ticket.12:26
lardmanjohnx: might have to be a multiple attack with frozen kippers then12:26
kynkylike qole ? but it a few versions behind12:26
SpeedEvilBad data certainly harms standalone.12:26

SpeedEvilI got no fix when mis-setting the date.12:26
*** bilboed-tp has quit IRC12:27
SpeedEvilWell - not setting it at all12:27
PaulFertserStskeeps: predownloading assistance data should be evaluated separately, probably it won't make any sense given the hardware.12:27
PaulFertserSpeedEvil: i think our u-blox chip just ignores the ephemeris it considers old.12:27
StskeepsPaulFertser: no, but it shouldn't try to get gps data when the data it got last was perfectly valid :P12:27
PaulFertserStskeeps: indeed.12:27
PaulFertserStskeeps: and also the ticket talks about some probably too aggressive high-level PM which should be discussed and fixed separately.12:28
johnxRST38h, point granted. caveat: it will only "produce better effect" if it is videoed and ends up on youtube :)12:28

lardmanthe backend can, but I think I just return the first one15:13
lardmannot sure how to handle that case in code really15:13
fnordianslipmany things i tried to scan had multiple codes next to each other15:13
*** alexj_ has joined #maemo15:13
lardmanoh right15:13
fnordianslipwell, a few.  it wasn't a scanning marathon, just a distraction from work for a few mins15:14
lardman:)15:14
lardmanit would be possible to return more than one, but I'm not sure how well that will work with the usecases15:14

StskeepsTomaszD: l10n stuff going well?15:15
lardmanI've disabled the webscraping code as it was segfaulting, and is generally crap as I wrote it in an afternoon15:15
lardmanDangerMaus: Once I move to Qt, someone can write some decent code using e.g. Python15:15
lardmanDangerMaus: 2D barcode contents are generally handled, for non-i-mode stuff, e.g. urls, vcards, sms:, tel:, etc15:16
fnordianslipit identified a metallica CD by name, for me.  that was the best outcome i got.  the iphone app gave some amazon links, but that's just icing on the cake15:16

odin_beagleboard it looks to be a PCB with a mini-computer on it, based around ARM and stuff... I can see it useful for kernel development but not much else (as its missing the actual hardware the N900 provides)17:19
Stskeepsodin_: it's a torn in the eye of people who are religiously only into open source. it's the battery charging daemon. nokia have said they don't mind distribution of nokia software to nokia devices, so there's no blocker for them to use it in their alternative OS'es17:19
Stskeepsodin_: so it's really more of a religious issue17:20

odin_Stskeeps, I have no problem with "binary blobs freely distributed" providing they are 1) Regularly maintained, fatal/serious bugfixes can propagate in days 2) they have an open API which is supported and documented17:21
Stskeepsandre__: http://omapzoom.org/platform.html is an interesting altrenative17:21
ShapeshifterI think it can even play some h.26417:22
suihkulokkibut, wifi being open didn't cause a surge of hackers hacking the wifi driver forward17:22
Stskeepsodin_: i agree, but not so much about days. i can't even promise days in open source :P17:22
suihkulokkiso why did so many people want it open sourced, if they had no intention to modify the code once it was opened?17:22
odin_Stskeeps, there is just the issue of, I want to upgrade my kernel, how do I relink your blob to it to address, i.e. the blob should not hold back kernel releases for the agreed lifecycle of it17:23
Stskeepsodin_: oh, kernel blobs i hate completely. this is a userland blob.17:23
PaulFertsersuihkulokki: to be able to recompile it in a clean way for any distro? To be able to implement kernel-level battery monitoring as per power_supply specs?17:23
odin_Stskeeps, ah but when its open source you can fix it yourself if its really a problem, sure lots of open source has fixes in days17:23
* RST38h sighs17:24
PaulFertsersuihkulokki: and to have a possibility to fix any problems when you actually face them?17:24
StskeepsPaulFertser: why the need to recompile it? why he need to put it in kernel-level? :)17:24
Stskeepsit works. as it should.17:24
jebbai completely agree the BME etc should be free software. Get real.  And the flasher too. I mean WTF? But i doubt it's going to get opened this way.17:24

PaulFertserStskeeps: recompile to use the libraries you want to use atm. And kernel-level power_supply api is a well-established interface used everywhere except n8x0.17:25

jebbaStskeeps: clearly should be opened though. You should at least concede that... I mean, why not close off everything then?  Cuz you want to leverage the community.  For example, perhaps PaulFertser will spend 5 days watching BME and running powertop or something. He will try different builds etc....17:26
andre__well, it was offered to opensource the flasher. but basically not many people were interested. plus there's been the 0xffffff project already17:26

PaulFertserandre__: compare nokia's tablets with motorola "linux-based" phones. You'll see the difference. Nokia raises expectations and then gets everything done as would a typical company do.17:29
odin_Stskeeps, the BME issue is one of lion batterys blowing up, causing injury possible death, so its understandable why its not open source17:29
jebbaPaulFertser: where's motorola's channel with lead developers and their bugmaster?17:29
PaulFertserodin_: ok, tell me how to make my nokia bl-5C go off, i'll do an experiment.17:29

andre__PaulFertser, I won't google for motorola now, nope.17:29
StskeepsPaulFertser: you have the freedom to do so even without BME.17:30
andre__vague argument, based on reception...17:30
PaulFertserjebba: that's what i'm talking about, there's community, bugtracker, some open-source apps, etc. But it's still closed as hell.17:30
jebbawhat happens if you don't run the BME anyway?17:30
SpeedEvilodin_: The safety stuff is internal to the battery - at least in the case of explosions. You can make battery longevity poorer17:30
jebba"closed as hell" is quite an overstatement.17:30
lardmanPaulFertser: no it's not17:30
lardmanPaulFertser: you really haven't been paying attention17:30
PaulFertserjebba: i think the device would probably shut off due to some mystic watchdog. At least that's what i got with n810 and debian in 65 seconds.17:30
lardmando you have a device?17:30
*** EricSagnes has joined #maemo17:30

jebbaanyway, i'm gonna muck with asterisk see if i can do a cleaner 1.6 or perhaps rebuild a kernel for kicks  (though I too will barf on the binary blobs in kernel waaaaah)17:31
PaulFertserlardman: my friend has n810. I've used my usual arm toolchain for the kernel compilation. And debian an arm already has gcc etc to compile apps natively (with distcc help it's even not that slow).17:31
Stskeepsjebba: N900? no binary blobs17:31
lardmanPaulFertser: the watchdog having been placed there to stop people running anything other than Nokia's closed os? ;D17:31
jebbaah really. i thought it had some blobs in kernel too. nice to hear.  :)17:31
jebbaso 2.6.32 etc should work with some patches, eh?17:32
PaulFertserlardman: not really, but lacking docs and everything i couldn't understand how to run n810 bme-free.17:32
*** zemm has quit IRC17:32
jebbaPaulFertser: not to feed you too much, but what distro you run?17:32
lardmanbme is not the same as the watchdog you understand17:33
PaulFertserjebba: on n810?17:33
odin_the kernel can be recompile tho can't it ? if you want you can recompile the kernel that is shipped, you will however need to relink the binary blobs into it (or load as compatible modules), that is my understanding of N900, I have yet to test this theory out17:33
lardmanso you could keep the watchdog fn and use a kicker still17:33
Stskeepsodin_: there are no closed kernel modules in n90017:33
w00todin_: there *are* no kernel blobs17:33
jebbaPaulFertser: on yer laptop/workstation   (and n810 fwiw)17:33
PaulFertserlardman: i understand but somehow they related. n810 has several watchdogs none of which is properly documented. Apparently, 2.6.30 kernel from the omap branch doesn't include the support for one of them. And no, flasher can't disable it.17:33
odin_odin_, so the closed stuff is all in user-space ?17:33
Stskeepsodin_: right17:34
*** juhar has quit IRC17:34

*** juhar has joined #maemo17:34
jebbawhere you get your kernel source?17:34
odin_does this closed-stuff access hardware directly ?  or does it do it via a standard kernel API, an api that allows userspace controlled access to hardware busses, like USB etc...17:34
PaulFertserlardman: Hm, no? Proper manufacturers get their patches upstream on time. And no docs probably is a serious fault too.17:35
PaulFertserjebba: kernel.org17:35
StskeepsPaulFertser: then why isn't beagleboard in upstream? :P17:35
odin_for example the X11 servers have traditionally been the only Linux application that accesses hardware directly from user-space17:35
jebbabah! those bums have tons of non-free software in their kernels.17:35
lardmanok, so perhaps Nokia aren't a proper manufacturer, but this is a different argument isn't it17:35

Yes, i'm frustrated. Being involved in openmoko community for more than a year nokia's "comminity" feels like a distasteful joke to me.17:37

Stskeepspekuja: people keep on claiming that. i'm doubtful personally18:44
SpeedEvilodin_: I'm unsure of exactly the cause.18:44
ShadowJKapart from the overloaded keyboard, the keyboard is nice, it took only about 3 days for me to adjust to it... whereas some 4 row keyboards have needed weeks :/18:44
derfodin_: Well, just keep in mind, I think some people looked at replacing pieces of busybox before, and system boot time went up _considerably_.18:44

KMFDMplus iphone gloves are 100 euros18:49

jebbacool.  Running asterisk 1.4 on n900, calling out to digium's test system, uses about 5% of cpu19:07
Stskeepsodin_: ok, first off, kexec doesn't work. the only way to switch kernels is either by flashing it into NAND or loading over USB.19:07
type_tfor the qwerty issue .. there got to be a way of connect a USB hub and pop a usb Keyboard and thats it..19:08
Stskeepsodin_: what i suggested was a special kernel that when booted, instead of mounting internal NAND rootfs, mounted the external MMC and booted a rescue mode from ther19:08
Stskeepse19:08
odin_Stskeeps, I'm saying make a cut-down linux which can barely work MMC/display/keyboard, this can also throw away state and load a kernel from anywhere once done to bootup a real kernel19:09
Stskeepsodin_: yes, but that's what i'm saying is not possible. kexec is broken.19:09

odin_it looks like the "UBI" part is a layer allowing for direct flash page manipulation (or a corrected flash page manipulation, i.e. all the problems are transparently fixed by low level driver) but that fact you can still get at the unfixed view means you can implment security on top of flash20:14
ShadowJKThe N900 has 256MB of OneNAND storage. It's direct flash..20:15
ShadowJKI've only vaguely looked at it, but I think UBI is a FTL (that runs in software on the device), and ubifs is the filesystem used on top of ubi.20:16
odin_security requirements would include, immediate erasure of sensitite blocks, assured rewrite of same block (or rather assured overwrite/erasure of the old data)20:16
cehtehubifs is in the mainline kernel20:16
odin_256Mb is the RAM ?  is it static ram ?   my N900 has 32Gb internal storage, which is said to be flash based (but i never took it apart!)20:16
Stskeepsno, the NAND20:16

odin_ah cool, so if we can nick a page of 256MB nand flash, for secutiry API purposes?20:18
SpeedEvilAnd up to 16G of microSD - at the moment20:18
SpeedEvilodin_: I think you want it at a lower level than is available.20:18
*** radic has quit IRC20:18
cehtehi'd avoid touching the nand as much as possible :P20:18
SpeedEvilodin_: I think there is a raw mode, which requires a special driver20:18
ShadowJKYou'd have to modify ubifs in the kernel20:19

StargazersThat is what I am trying to find :)23:49
woglindehm where do I get the deb-line for libgles2-sgx-img-dev again?23:50
javispedrodeb-line?23:50
javispedroah, repository?23:50
woglindeyes23:50
javispedro*-sgx-* should be in the private nokia repos (-binaries, -apps)23:50
javispedroon the x86 target, libgles2-dev is on extras-devel .23:50
Stargazersvaldyn: Any idea how I can restart it23:50
woglindeif I remember I have subscribe and get a personal deb line23:50
valdynStargazers: that was just a wild guess: but you can try anyway: killall matchbox ( and if that does not give an error ), start it again, run "matchbox"23:51
valdynStargazers: and if killall doesnt exist you need to use "kill <pid>"23:51
StargazersWell there is no process matchbox23:51
StargazersAnd not found in grep in ps23:51
valdynStargazers: bad luck, maybe thats just matchbox in maemo 423:51
StargazersWell, yeah23:51
XisdibikSpeedEvil: that is a good deal23:51
StargazersHmm have to look then what it could be23:52
