IRC log of #maemo for Saturday, 2010-08-28

ShadowJKIt's sequential at first until it reaches the end of the swap area, and then becomes increasingly random thereafter00:00
luke-jrtoo bad there's no way to specify "search when I have no other connection"00:00
luke-jror at least "don't search, but DO start gprs when you get 2G/3G"00:00
SpeedEvilShadowJK: yeah - a nice sequential would be nice with GC00:00
ShadowJKi found a workaround but it didn't fix the slowdown-after-long-uptime issue00:01
SpeedEvilShadowJK: So that if you come across a block with 16 free, and 4 used at the end, you want to swap out 8, you copy the 4, and do an atomic write of 1200:01
luke-jrwhy do you assume swap fragmentation is a problem?00:02
SpeedEvilluke-jr: because it is00:02
luke-jrprove it00:02
SpeedEvilluke-jr: Write speed of nonaligned blocks is hideously bad on SD00:02
SpeedEvilor emmc00:02
luke-jrif it was the problem, workaround would fix it00:02
SpeedEvilwhere blocks are 130K00:02
SpeedEvilor so00:02
SpeedEvilworkaround?00:02
luke-jr[16:01:33] <ShadowJK> i found a workaround but it didn't fix the slowdown-after-long-uptime issue00:02
SpeedEvilAh00:03
*** nhdezoito_ has quit IRC00:03
SpeedEvilI'm not saying swap is causing slowdown.00:03
SpeedEvilJust that swap is clearly broken, and should be fixed00:03
*** nhdezoito has joined #maemo00:03
ShadowJKluke-jr, after running my workaround, available swap bandwidth clearly increased, but, the system was also demanding more swap bandwidth00:03
luke-jranyhow, I bet if you get rid of hildon-desktop, mafw-gst-subtitles-renderer, hildon-home, and osso-connectivity-ui-conndlgs, it will work better00:03
tobis87ShadowJK: yes, i have seen this earlier, nice graph.. But how is this caused? Is there no patch availilbe, so that the kernel rearrange the swap every day.00:04
ShadowJKno it never rearranges swap00:04
lcukluke-jr, or identify the leaks - are you using the latest build? I recall madam fixing some leaks around00:04
ShadowJKluke-jr, anyway in my use the mafw-* stuff crashes pretty regulary, and it uses dsp. on N810 the memory management was totally broken on that side00:05
luke-jrlcuk: I'm using what is in the repos00:05
lcukso give latest a retest and see, and if it cures most, brilliant, if not if you can see where and give some pointers..00:05
ShadowJKso im beginning to wonder if I lose some 10 megs of physical ram at each crash00:05
lcukluke-jr, which repos00:05
lcukstandard pr1.2 binaries?00:05
luke-jrlcuk: whatever the M5 repos are00:05
luke-jryeah00:05
lcukok00:05
lcukcos the hildon components have had some work done later as you know00:06
lcukin prep for a pr whatever00:06
ShadowJKbecause at the end the device was behaving pretty much like as if it had 64m physical ram00:06
*** Rhoruns has joined #maemo00:06
ShadowJKthe end being before I gave up and rebooted00:06
lcukit would be really good if you could give them a try00:06
lcukask MohammadAG51 about repository with them00:06
tripzeroi wonder how nokia is going to handle harmattan 3rd party packages00:07
tripzeroseems like they just lost the community to upstream meego00:07
tobis87to arrange the memory in order to have large chunks of free memory in swap, instead of small chunks, which cause fragmentation... This remembers me somehow of ms-dos, the drivers also needed to be loadhighed in a special order, so they all fit in the upper memory block.00:09
*** choppa has quit IRC00:09

ShadowJKtripzero, they'll get a thermonuclear device, drop it on third party devs, start requiring birth certificates, photo id, and a phd from ovi store contributors, break ovi store payments handling, and then proclaim the entire operation an outstanding success00:10
tripzerolol00:10
luke-jrkilled those 5 processes and system is back to lag-free00:10
*** rd has quit IRC00:10
luke-jrtobis87: that makes no sense00:10
ShadowJKdo you lose open apps if you kill hildon-desktop?00:10
luke-jrShadowJK: no00:11
ShadowJKoh awesome00:11
ShadowJKiirc on n810 you did00:11
luke-jrthose apps appear to have gracefully restarted00:11
luke-jrother apps unaffected00:11
luke-jrhad to -9 hildon-home tho00:11
luke-jruntil I did that, it remained laggy00:11
luke-jrso hildon-home at least is a major lag inducer :P00:11
*** kakashi_ has joined #maemo00:13
luke-jrso… when does cron.daily run on Maemo? :P00:18
ShadowJKlol?00:19
ShadowJKdoes cron run at all?00:19
*** _Lucretia__ has quit IRC00:20
tobis87luke-jr: how? i thought the swap is used sequential first, later programs use space, which is located after the space which is used by earlier programs... if the swap is nearly full and you close a program, the space is freed, but another programm might need more space than the program you have closed. So the memory the new program allocates is scattered all over the disk.00:21
luke-jrShadowJK: /etc/cron.daily/ exists… :/00:21
SpeedEvilIt's not to program granularity00:22
SpeedEvilIt's whatever per swapout the swap algorithm thought it was right to swapout00:22
luke-jrtobis87: if swap is ever used more than a day, that's a waste of memory00:22
*** etrunko has quit IRC00:23
luke-jra specific block of swap, I mean00:23
luke-jrto be used, pages need to be loaded into RAM00:23
luke-jrso if it stays in swap, you're not using it00:23
ShadowJKif something pushed to swap is later modified or freed completely, it ceases to exist on swap device00:24
luke-jror read00:24
luke-jrwell, I suppose Linux might retain the swap record to skip the "write to swap" later…00:24
*** `alt096 has joined #maemo00:25
luke-jractually, fragmentation per the usual meaning might be good for swap00:25
luke-jron SSD00:25
SpeedEvilyes.00:26
luke-jrwrite whatever 32 (4K) pages you want to get rid of first to the same block..00:26
SpeedEvilyou don't care about intra-block fragmentation at all00:26
SpeedEvilonly inter-block00:26
*** trbs has quit IRC00:26
SpeedEvilThen you need some sort of GC algorithm too00:26
ShadowJKluke-jr, pages both in swap and ram are counted as swap cache :P00:27

tobis87ok, only some is swapped out, but it is sequential right? so, if i leave my device on all the time, linux thinks i can swap this out because it is not used since a certain amount of time. and this is randomly? so, you have the problem that the data next to each other does not belong together? i don't know, could someone tell me why the swap get's messed up after some days?00:33
*** mfabiop has quit IRC00:33
SpeedEvilIt's not randomly00:34
SpeedEvilsomething keeps track of how often pages are used00:34
*** mnzaki has joined #maemo00:34
SpeedEvilthe least used ones get thrown out00:34
*** kW has quit IRC00:35
*** MNZ has quit IRC00:35
SpeedEvilSimply as once you've swapped out the first 768M - say - the first 132K eraseblock may have 8 free 4K pages.00:35
SpeedEvilIf you write these, the device internally has to do a read of 100K, for the initial data, and then a write of the whole 132k block00:36
SpeedEvilSo the speed is 1/4 of what it might otherwise be00:36
*** pablo2 has quit IRC00:37
SpeedEvilIf there were only 4K free, then the speed is 1/32 of normal write speed00:37
* satmd has a wd drive that is 4k sectors, but tells the os it has 512byte sectors00:37
* satmd sighs00:37
SpeedEvilExactly the situation with SD00:37
satmd'alignment'00:38
satmdyeah00:38
SpeedEvilBut the real sectors in that case are 130K or so00:38
*** killeus has quit IRC00:38
satmdwell, most filesystems by themselves use 4k boundaries00:38
satmdbut!00:38
satmdthat only works if those are at the same offset as the underlying blockdevice00:38
SpeedEvilexact alignment can vary00:38
satmdso, more fun example00:39
satmd4k block you change first 2 byte00:39
*** panaggio has quit IRC00:39
satmdworst case you'll have to redo 2 blocks of the blockdevice, each 4k00:39

keriosatmd: how else are you going to represent FileNotFound?00:43

keriois it unhealthy?00:43
lcukextremely00:43
kerioit's brillant00:44
MohammadAG51mnzaki, er, you should get more than one package00:44
tobis87ok, the pages are not randomly swaped out, but after usage. my point is, if not all pages of a program are swapped out, you could have some pages belonging to the same program swapped out later and very far away from the page which also belongs to the program. And reading all pages for a program would be, very slow, because the pages are not after another.00:44
MohammadAG51-modules and a -flasher package00:44
SpeedEviltobis87: no00:44
SpeedEviltobis87: random reads on flash are not particularly slow00:44

ShadowJKtobis87, imagine app A and app B. A shows your smss. B is for camera. You're texting and B has all its pages 0-7 swapped out to swap pages 0-7 covering sd blocks 0-1. You open camera lens cover. B's pages 0-1 are immediately swapped in and modified by B. Swap now has 0-1 unused. two pages from A get swapped out to 8-9. when you switch back to A, two pages from B get swapped to 10-11, and A's two pages are brought back in again. Now the swap file has two h00:52

tobis87ShadowJK: So using ramzswap is a good idea, because it only modifies as much as actually is used. Writing and reading to/from storage causes to much to read/write because of alignment.01:02
ShadowJKum.01:02
tobis87i mean swap on storage, emmc01:03
ShadowJKit doesn't change access patterns in any signigicant way afaik01:03
lcukquestion:  total number of applications in maeme extras-devel at this time (not counting dupes)  how do I get that figure?01:03
tobis87ShadowJK: ?, I thought the alignment was the problem, if ramzswap only write to memory, there shouldn't be a alignment.01:04
ShadowJKwell you still have swap01:05

DrIDKIs it possible to know how many download has be done for an application in extra-devel ?01:08
tobis87if it is a problem of alignment in general, why is this only caused after some time? because the free space of the swap partiton lies between two physical sectors?01:08
DrIDKIs it possible to know how many download has be done for an application in extra-devel ?01:08
*** pinheiro has quit IRC01:09
*** pinheiro has joined #maemo01:09
ShadowJKtobis87, because physical sectors on sd are 128-256k and ram sector are 4k.01:09
SpeedEvilDrIDK: sort of01:10
SpeedEvilhttp://maemo.org/download-stats/index.php?unixname=fmms&os=Maemo5&repo=extras01:10
DrIDKSpeedEvil: awesome!!01:11
tobis87ShadowJK: Yes, but ramzswap with a size of 32mb, compresses 80mb of data... so i only need sometimes to write on storage. Ok, i have recenly read an article on these new 4k harddrives.... My problem is really that i'm still with my thoughts on regualar harddrives.01:12
SpeedEvilhttp://maemo.org/packages/view/fmms/ also01:13
SpeedEvilLook at the last two peaks01:13
SpeedEvilthey correlate with the latest version becoming available in testing, and then 10 days later (ish) extras01:13
ShadowJK4k harddrives are fine, the os deals with 4k chunks of data too, even if it would talk in 512 byte chunks of data over sata. Worsr case is the harddrive writing double amount of data01:14
SpeedEvilWhich incidentally implies that about 70% or so of people have extras-testing turned on.01:14
DrIDKSpeedEvil: how many repos are there :  extra , test, and ?01:15
tobis87Yes, you have to make sure the partition starts on sector, which is a multiplier of 8. I do understand it now, damn aligments... Can the kernel not be patched to modify ram sectors01:15
SpeedEvilAlso rthat maybe 100K peeps have fmms installed.01:15
SpeedEvilDrIDK: testing, devel, extras01:15
ShadowJKtobis87, the hardware memory management unit deals with 4k pages01:16
SpeedEviltobis87: yes01:16
*** Funnyface has joined #maemo01:16
SpeedEviltobis87: But you really don't want 130k pages01:16
ShadowJKVAX had 512 byte pages I heard someone say :-)01:16

ShadowJKbig pages only make sense for a few specialized things that do their own extensive memory management, like java01:17
SpeedEvilAlso - the above count counts all downloads - extras, testing, and devel01:17
tobis87No, not for the ram, but can't you, just say collect 130k pages first, and then sync them to disk.01:18
SpeedEvilhttp://qdb.us/30122101:18
SpeedEvilon memory managment01:18
SpeedEviltobis87: yes.01:18
SpeedEviltobis87: But then the pages written get 'deleted' one by one, until you have a fragmented swap01:18
ShadowJKwhere deletion really means the app owning the page has accessed and modified it01:19
SpeedEvilyes01:19
SpeedEviland the kernel therefore dropped the swapped page, so it's 'free'01:19
*** elstupidos has left #maemo01:20
tobis87Nah, I avoid java as much as I can, even more after oracle got it. I even consider to not use brtfs in the future, because it was developed from oracle...01:20
SpeedEvilthis may not have actually been ever read from disk though01:20
ShadowJKideally you'd predict the future so that the pages are written in the order in which the apps will in the future access and modify them, which also requires predicting exactly what the user is going to do, which buttons the user will press in which order, and so on :)01:20

zeltakand it happens in different roms so its not the rom04:11
FIQ|n900note that the shortcut ctrl+c (if that's what you use) will not work in terminal (special meaning), you'll have to do it from meu04:11

FIQ|n900zeltak, dunno sorry04:13
zeltakkk thx FIQ|n90004:13
luke-jrsomeone should test my fcam kernel04:13
luke-jrtheoretically, it has all the fcam modifications in the main kernel04:14
FIQ|n900I like the fact that my first N900 did come with PR1.0.1, then i managed to broke it, and they sent a new one, with PR1.004:15
FIQ|n900a lots of things looked strange. :P04:15
yigalMNZ ya it's working nicely, but I don't know why it's wrking as opposed to not working?  I'm using power kernel also04:15
luke-jrlol04:15
luke-jryigal: does the normal Camera app work when you have fcam modules loaded?04:15
luke-jror do you need to disable fcam and reboot?04:16
MNZdid they break compatibility with the default kernel or what?04:16

luke-jrFIQ|n900: and fixes a bunch of bugs04:18
FIQ|n900ah04:18
FIQ|n900nice04:18
MNZFIQ|n900, it's another frontend to dpkg04:18
luke-jrFIQ|n900: specifically, if you remove something, it automatically removes dependencies it pulled in04:18
luke-jrif they're not needed04:18
FIQ|n900but it still uses dpkg and such things as bavkend. no?04:18
luke-jrwhereas apt would clutter the OS04:18
FIQ|n900backend*04:18
luke-jryeah04:19
FIQ|n900ok04:19
luke-jrtechnically, there's a ncurses TUI builtin too, but I never use that04:19
FIQ|n900well, i will take a look at it. :P04:19
luke-jrbe careful though ☺04:19
MohammadAGuh04:19
luke-jrsome people have had problems crop up when they switch from apt to aptitude04:19
MohammadAGapt-get autoremove removes dependencies04:19
luke-jrspecifically, aptitude thought they didn't want packages, so it removed them :P04:20
MohammadAGaptitude isn't really stable on the N90004:20
luke-jrMohammadAG: must be something new04:20
FIQ|n900yeah, runs that sometimes04:20
luke-jraptitude is stable enough w/o the TUI04:20
MNZluke-jr, no, very old.04:20
MohammadAGsegfautls for me after I reflashed04:20
MohammadAGand I'm the damn maintainer04:20
MNZall that is just front ends to the dpkg system04:20
luke-jrMohammadAG: if you use it the same way as apt?04:20
MohammadAGthen I'd use apt04:20
*** panaggio has quit IRC04:20

yigalubuntu is considering removing aptitude from base install, terrible04:21
yigalor has done so haven't kept up04:21
FIQ|n900yeah, that annoys me, but using them makes you learn then. :p04:21
luke-jryigal: Ubuntu is run by idiots though04:22

luke-jrMohammadAG: how is that even possible?04:22
MohammadAGnot sure, it can't find my HDD and my optical drives04:22
luke-jrwtf04:23
FIQ|n900strange04:23
MohammadAGduring installation04:23
luke-jrMohammadAG: Debian stable or oldstable⁇04:23
MohammadAGlenny04:23
luke-jrweird04:23
luke-jrbut then again, I kinda only use Debian on remote servers04:23
FIQ|n900btw, does aptitude makes fast switches possible?04:23
FIQ|n900as in04:23
luke-jrwhich tend to be more Linux-friendly04:23
FIQ|n900doing more than one thing a time04:23
luke-jrFIQ|n900: I don't think so04:24
MNZMohammadAG, lenny should be considered outdated now. Give squeeze a shot04:24
FIQ|n900aw04:24
luke-jrhonestly, I just use Debian as OpenVZ host, and put Gentoo in my VEs04:24
yigalluke-jr trudat, but I need to use it as my laptop has gma 500 gpu and a multitouch screen, Ub. is the only distro. that kind of works, it's a shame I like Archlinux personally04:24
FIQ|n900pacman -Syu ftw04:24
luke-jrMNZ: nonsense04:24
luke-jryigal: so don't buy crappy hardware04:24
MohammadAGI'd take debian over ubuntu any day, but ubuntu is my only choice04:24
yigalluke-jr trudat hindsight being 20/20 and all04:25
MNZMohammadAG, which is why you should use squeeze. Squeeze is still debian, yet it's uptodate04:25
luke-jrMNZ: and not stable04:25
MNZluke-jr, debian like to move slowly, so by ubuntu's standards lenny is outdated04:25
luke-jrUbuntu's standards are meaningless04:25
FIQ|n900uh04:25
MNZluke-jr, I've been using it for over 4 or 5 months, stable as should be04:26
FIQ|n900is debian stable even MORE off date than ubuntu..?04:26
luke-jrI mean cmon, they ship GNOME04:26
luke-jras their default DE04:26
MNZluke-jr, so does debian....04:26
luke-jrno04:26
yigalluke-jr shouldn't have purchased n900 with PowerVR gpu04:26
MNZluke-jr, well look at it this way, ubuntu stable or debian unstable?04:27
* FIQ|n900 has used Kubuntu before, worked fine until i buyed a new laptop which wlan was a no-go at (no idea why), but atm i just run windows for a while04:27

lcukzeltak, I have only ever tried it the other way round04:50
MNZzeltak, you get a sack of flour, then you install openssh-server and use sftp://root@yourn900'sIP04:50
yigal;)04:50
lcukI have never seen my n900 show up on network on big pc04:50

zeltakyeah i use ssh but i find it really slow :(04:50
lcukthen plugin via usb and copy to the MyDocs?04:51

SpeedEvilyigal: this means that you can take a big tub of flour, dump in the right ingredients into the breadmaker, and get bread in 1-3h (depending on the sort of bread) with 60s effort.04:51

l-fy_well, e71 it's what i want12:41
Venemolcuk: my homescreen widgets are fighting against the evil window manager, but they are losing the battle :(12:42
lcukhmm do explain12:42
Venemolcuk: the problem is this: by default, controls on a Qt homescreen widget require two clicks to work: one that focuses the widget, and one more that actually does something12:43
Venemolcuk: for the "official" homescreen loader, the guy fixed this by setting the WM input hint of the widget to 012:43
Venemolcuk: but in this case, the QTextEdit I have doesn't work (it doesn't get any focus)12:44
Venemolcuk: in this case, if I manually focus it, it never focuses out when I click out of my homescreen widget...12:44
lcukVenemo, the official stance is that qt widgets shouldnt be allowed to get input like gtk widgets cannot :P12:44
Venemolcuk: yeah, I know :)12:44

lcukhave you installed that, or are you still on pr1.2 hildon12:47

D-IivilStskeeps, actually what I want to know is what does that do when theme is changed.12:47
Venemolcuk: it behaves this way on both PR 1.2 and his desktop12:47
D-IivilStskeeps, it does something else than just runs hildon-theme-cacher and restarts hildon-home.12:47
lcukVenemo, then if this is wanted in a wider scope, it will have to be investigated deeper12:48

tobis87yes, but i just don't like to just say flash, flash, flash... if there is another solution for this. nobody likes to have to start from the beginning and if it is messed up anyway, you could at least learn from using the shell. you can still flash it later.14:31

Venemookay, fully charging is not a requirement, but your device will break if it runs out of battery while flashing21:20
mikki-kunVenemo: but shouldn't the usb itself also give some charging?21:22
*** guardian has quit IRC21:22
mikki-kuni know, maybe not the 1.2A like the charger, yet the 200-300 (i guess it is that much) should be sufficent for that mode21:22

zeltakhya..ok reflashed the n900 (not the emmc) to check my emulator issues but i have another issue...i get an "application error" in the gui app manager so i cant gain root..anyone seen this before after a fresh flasj?22:22
zeltak*flash22:22
DocScrutinizermikki-kun: and rootfs access thru usb is a kernel/system function22:23
jacekowskimorning22:23
mikki-kunso it's just some small switch inside the kernel?!22:23
jacekowskigeez i wasted whole day22:23
DocScrutinizerthe kernel needs / to run, so you can't umount it22:23
jacekowskinot really22:24
jacekowskikernel only needs process with id 1 to run22:24
mikki-kuni was more talking when the device is off22:24
jacekowskipid*22:24
DocScrutinizerjacekowski: and how'd you share samba over usb then, with just init running?22:24
zeltakso anyone knows how to gain root inthe xterm wihout the GUI?22:24
jacekowskihmm,22:24
mikki-kuni don't like that.. e.g. i mess up with one tiny start-script, i need to reflash my whole rootfs :(22:25

MNZthe rootfs can be repartitioned right?22:28
SpeedEvilah22:28
GAN900zeltak, why are you reflashing with any frequency?22:28
DocScrutinizerzeltak: usually you can reflash just root. but seems you got a problem with apt cache, and you'll not fix that without reflashing eMMC, or gaining root which you can't22:28
jacekowskiSpeedEvil: you don't need any usb cable connected22:28
jacekowskiSpeedEvil: you just press u and it will wait for usb cable22:28
SpeedEvilMNZ: In principle, you can load an arbitrary kernel into RAM and boot it without flashin. So - kernel that knows how to boot off SD, and you're done.22:28
GAN900jacekowski, I think you need the cable in22:29
GAN900But it'll wait for the FLASHER:22:29
zeltakGAN900: first time systme was unbootable..now i have all emulators rebooting my n900 so i wanted a clean start to see if its a hardware issue22:29
zeltakoh well...gonna reflash the emmc as well..22:29
MNZSpeedEvil, that would be sweet, so next time I mess up my modules I can just boot up, extract the modules package manually and reboot22:29
mikki-kunzeltak: you can still make a backup of your emmc22:29
mikki-kuni'd do so if i was you22:30
zeltakyeah i know just thought emmc was like a /home on my nix system where i only had to reinstall root each time but i guess it dosent work that way22:30
SpeedEvilMNZ: Something that could boot not regardingany of the inbuilt flash, and do backup/restrore/checkpount would be nice.22:30
mikki-kunhm, i don't know how difficult that would be but i think it would be nice if somebody could implement that22:30

mikki-kunlike using kill -9 instead of kill -1522:38
DocScrutinizerthe problem is if you want all the swapped out apps to quit gracefully - possibly even with saving project files and shit22:38

mikki-kunDocScrutinizer: just out of curiosity, have you played around with changing the clockspeed of your n900?23:25
pythersince the link I click on just sends data to the web server23:25
pytherI don't have a good example :(23:25
ShadowJKI'm pretty sure microb and fennec make the exact same request when you click a link23:26
ShadowJK(ok user-agent would be different)23:26

mikki-kunShadowJK: aren't the two actually using the same engine?23:26
ShadowJKyeah.23:26
ShadowJKdifferent versions probably23:27
mikki-kunwouldn't that then mean they are kind of having 99% similiarties in how they ask stuff and work "invisible" from the user23:27
ShadowJKAnd the front-ends are totally different, so whatever they display on screen is going to be whatever, probbly osmething random23:28
skyscraperMohammadAG51: works nice!23:28
mikki-kunShadowJK: i guess when the v2 beta arrives of fennec it will have a smoother ui than microB23:28
*** swo has quit IRC23:29
mikki-kunwould love to try v2 but that segfault -.-23:30
*** zzztrumee is now known as trumee23:30
ShadowJKFunny that, I'm not sure I remember any examples of software getting leaner and faster with "upgrades" :)23:30
mikki-kunwill try again after the reflash on stock kernel23:30
*** mikhas has quit IRC23:31
mikki-kuni read somewhere it will have running three independant threads then with each handling one specific major component23:32
mikki-kunlike one taking care of the UI, the other for the rendering and then the last one for the actual browser23:33
mikki-kunwill use more ressources though i guess23:33
mikki-kunShadowJK: here are the features listed to some degree http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/08/13/status-update-firefox-for-mobile-fennec-2-edges-closer-to-alpha-gets-more-stable-brings-new-features/23:34
*** swc|666 has joined #maemo23:35
mikki-kunhow do you think of that idea?23:39
ShadowJKmicrob has two threads btw :P23:40
*** Trewas has joined #maemo23:41
ShadowJKI'm pessimistic overall..23:41
ShadowJKI mean, nomatter how fast they make the browser, and the lengths they go to to accomplish that are simply amazing, the end-user experience isn't improving much at all23:42
ShadowJKbecause webmasters make sure as soon as browsers load their page at non-aggravatingly-slow speeds, they add more and more shit, crap and bloat to ensure users have an optimized experience of getting pissed off.23:44
mikki-kunin that case i'd just stop using their page23:44
mikki-kunor juse elinks23:45
mikki-kun*use23:45
ShadowJKbut everyone does it!23:45
mikki-kunsorry, seems i am having some massive caffeine-defficite lately23:45
*** dvaske has quit IRC23:45
mikki-kunShadowJK: google.com so far not :)23:45
mikki-kunand about:blank loads as fast as always XD23:45
ShadowJKthey added the fade-in crap..23:45
mikki-kuni actually like it to some degree23:46
mikki-kunnot like hating it, makes the page clean23:46
ShadowJKsure it looks nice and whatever23:46
ShadowJKI just don't like that it manages to slowdown a quad core computer23:47
mikki-kunwhat?! :o23:47
ShadowJKnot to mention n90023:47
mikki-kunmy atom loads that page nicely23:47
ShadowJKwhere the impact is even more disturbing23:47

*** vanadismobile has joined #maemo23:48
ShadowJKSometimes when looking for rare/esoteric information, I come across websites that haven't been touched since 199923:48
ShadowJKand man, they're /fast/23:48
ShadowJKlike, you click something and you don't even have time to alt-tab away before it loads and renders23:48
ShadowJKit's like, instant!23:49
ShadowJKnot having to wait for content to appear, that's so bloody awesome23:49
mikki-kunseems mankind forgot about efficiency and thinks it's important to have eyecandy23:49
mikki-kunthat's the reason apple sells like billions of efficient-unfriendly stuff23:50
mikki-kunlike e.g. itunes23:50
mikki-kuni have for that mpd and ncmpcpp and gtk-pod if needed for ipod-sync23:50
*** MohammadAG has joined #maemo23:51
ShadowJKi don't have a computer capable of running itunes, so..23:51
mikki-kunif i would kill my browser (conkeror, emacs-like webbrowser, built onto xulrunner) i could run my box on 256 ram ^^23:52
*** zeltak has quit IRC23:52
ShadowJKfirefox on my desktop is like 1.5g rss :)23:53
mikki-kun1.5g rss?23:53
ShadowJK1.5gig memory use23:53
mikki-kunÖ.ö23:53
mikki-kun1.5gig?! if my conkeror runs like 400MB i kill it and restart it23:54
mikki-kunthat is insane :o23:54
ShadowJKwell I have 823:54
jacekowskimy opera uses 200M at most23:54
*** vanadismobile has quit IRC23:55
mikki-kunhm, i have 2, so maybe explains why you don't mind that much ^^23:56
*** tobis87 has left #maemo23:56
ShadowJKbiggest problem is I stopped using bookmarks sometimes after opera invented tabbed browsing, and the point when websites became unusable with javascript & css switched off..23:56
mikki-kunbut are there tools for the n900 which can check it's mem and cpu?23:56
*** ohwhyme has joined #maemo23:57
*** ColdFyre has quit IRC23:57
tank-mantop and free23:58
ShadowJKand instead use tabs as bookmarks, because then it only takes .5 sec to display a web page instead of 5-60sec via a bookmark :)23:58
mikki-kuntank-man: i meant for testing if they are still working properly like memtest86+23:58
*** MohammadAG has quit IRC23:59
mikki-kunand btw i think top isn't that userfriendly, i use htop in that case23:59
