IRC log of #maemo for Sunday, 2011-05-08

Venemoyeah, I agree - all the more reason to use something that already exists instead of reinventing the wheel again.00:00

DocScrutinizerVenemo: SHR is so far down the street of no return, that I'm trying to save cssu from, they don't care about usability, for sure not about "looking good", they have their devel playground to bring another "better component replacing XYZ"00:00
Venemohaah00:01
Venemoyeah00:02
Venemosounds like the complete opposite of meego00:02
*** Wamanuz has joined #maemo00:02
DocScrutinizerbefore they even start to think about 'looking good' they need a new platform as the old one got obsolete00:02
VenemoDocScrutinizer, so, what is it that's got obsolete?00:03
DocScrutinizerthat's why SHR not seen any testing not to mention stable release since ~2 years, afaik00:03

Venemoyeah DocScrutinizer, Linux world is full of stupid politics00:16
*** Malin_ has quit IRC00:17
Venemobut the end comment sounds promising00:18
VenemoMay 05 17:28:17 <mickeyl> yo, surely interesting. right now i think they're more pressuring issues, but once we have the connectivity issues sorted out, i'm sure there'll be movements towards that00:18
DocScrutinizerwon't happen - there'll be other more pressing affairs by then00:18
Venemowell, I am not a kernel hacker either00:19
DocScrutinizerdevels' playground, you know. No testing, no stable ever00:19
Venemoyea...00:19
Venemobut I don't get what's the point in that00:19
DocScrutinizer"let's port the shit to LG now, as N900 is not sold anymore..."00:20
nox-that reminds me of...  http://linuxfr.org/news/linus-torvalds-l%E2%80%99interview-anniversaire-des-20%C2%A0ans-du-noyau#comment-123098100:20
DocScrutinizer[9 months later] "\o/ we got modem to connect to GPRS"00:20
Venemowhy is it that all these ports of various projects suck so miserable?00:21
Venemomiserably*00:21
DocScrutinizerbecuase devels take no pride in *finalizing* things00:21
nox-lack of manpower?00:21
SpeedEvilVenemo: Funding.00:21
Venemoand why is the phone modem always the barrier?00:21
ShadowJKMaybe it's actually hard and maybe it takes actual effort? :-)00:21
SpeedEvilVenemo: Maemo probably had well over a thousand paid devs involved.00:22
SpeedEvilVenemo: Lack of documents.00:22
Venemonor meego, nor nitdroid, nor SHR, neither of them manages to actually make a phone call.00:22
SpeedEvilThe many-eyes fallacy.00:22
Venemolack of docs may be a good excuse for Nitdroid or SHR, but not for MeeGo00:22
SpeedEvilThe many eyes hypothesis is that with enough eyes, all bugs are shallow.00:22
SpeedEvilThe problem is that this is only true for 'pure' code.00:22
Venemo"many-eyes" requires "many eyes" who _care_00:22
SpeedEvilOnce you start to get into hardware - the number of devs who would have a clue plummets.00:23
SpeedEvilSo have a clue * care = ~000:23
SpeedEvilAnd progress stalls.00:23
VenemoI see.00:23
ShadowJKMeego makes phonecalls now :-)00:23
VenemoShadowJK, nope, it doesn't00:23
Venemonot for me anyway00:23
DocScrutinizerSHR also does afaik, just sound is missing00:23
Venemoheheh00:23
Venemophone call without sound is not phone call by definition.00:24
ShadowJKThe phone calls part actually requires some code writing :-)00:24
DocScrutinizermaybe that changed though, during last 12h00:24
Venemoalso, MeeGo can't connect to wifi either, and the handset ux sucks00:24
*** zap has quit IRC00:24
Venemothey have made a _VERY_ good job on its performance however00:24
ShadowJKI think the idea of upstreaming everything came from the frustration of all the hw having custom drivers that break with every new release of everything else00:25
Venemoyeah00:25
Venemoand that's a good point00:25
DocScrutinizerSpeedEvil: (progress stalls) and when somebody with a clue * interest points them to a flaw, to better code, to the problems involved for battery life etc, then it's "duh, we are no kernel hackers, so we gonna use what's upstream"00:25
*** e-yes has quit IRC00:26
ShadowJKBut then you also need people with the passion, attention to detail, motivation, and most of all, time, to write code that gets accepted upstream00:26
SpeedEvilIndeed.00:27
SpeedEvilAnd sometimes upstream appear to be ass-hats.00:27
VenemoDocScrutinizer, at this point, I think some piece of OSS software is much better destined to succeed than those that target phones. simply because they don't have to hack around the cell modem. (seems that the cell modem is always the most evil thing)00:27
Venemomeh00:27
SpeedEvilIt's really not that.00:27
SpeedEvilWell - not that alone.00:27
VenemoDocScrutinizer, at this point, I think some piece of OSS software which targets _Tablets_ is much better destined to succeed than those that target _phones_. simply because they don't have to hack around the cell modem. (seems that the cell modem is always the most evil thing)00:27
ShadowJKAnd these things are more complicated than you think. For example, I am more than able myself of writing code to control the battery gauge and battery charger hardware of the N900, but I would have no friggin clue about how to get it integrated and working together with the Linux kernel, let alone working together with any operating system ontop of the kernel00:27
DocScrutinizereven worse, you need somebody to "defend the new code, maintain it, and you will have a hard time to explain why the existing driver can't get fixed and API has to change"00:28
SpeedEvilA cellphone is a _fucking_huge_ codebase.00:28
*** MadViking has quit IRC00:28
Venemosorry I typo'd the first one.00:28
SpeedEvilIf you want it to do more than send and recieve texts, and make calls.00:28
SpeedEvilEven then, with the n900, that's a major task.00:28
SpeedEvilEspecially if you want to track upstream.00:29
ShadowJKIt doesn't help that 3g specifications includes reinventing all of Internet up until 2001 or so.00:29
*** Dragnslcr has quit IRC00:29
ShadowJKin a new incompatible-with-the-real-internet way :)00:29
*** Malin_ has joined #maemo00:30
*** thmarkus has quit IRC00:30
Venemobut why doesn't anyone actually send that fucking modem driver upstream? why didn't nokia for one do so?00:30
DocScrutinizerShadowJK: lol, yeah00:31
SpeedEvilMuch of the nokia code is not upstreamable in its present state.00:31
VenemoI also don't understand why the actual manufacturers of the modem make a driver for it00:31
VenemoI really need to take a break00:31
SpeedEvilFor example - component_version in /proc00:31
VenemoI also don't understand why the actual manufacturers of the modem _don't_ make a driver for it00:31
SpeedEvilWhy is it not in cpuinfo00:31
SpeedEvilVenemo: not in the contract.00:32
ShadowJKIn this case Nokia is the manufacturer. There's a driver in ofono, that uses phonet in kernel. I've seen phonet patches on linux kernel mailing list.00:32
VenemoI thought phonet is some closed source shit00:32
DocScrutinizerVenemo: the maemo modem driver is closed source, the meego ofono one is still beta, and there are several quirks in RAPUYAMA that are not like what open cellphone specs (or what they're caled) require00:32
Venemowhat's RAPUYAMA?00:32
ShadowJKThe modem in N900 actually consists of a powerful ARM processor too, running its own firmware, with its own SDRAM. On its own it could actually run a low-end cellphone too :-)00:33
DocScrutinizerthe N900 (et all) BB5 modem00:33
DocScrutinizerRAPUYAMA = baseband, GAZOO = PMU00:33
VenemoShadowJK, so the N900 in fact has two processors?00:33
ShadowJKIt depends on how you count processors00:33
DocScrutinizeryes, it actually has some dozen00:33
Venemookay, if I count in the DSP and the others, then yeah00:34
DocScrutinizerLP5523 LED controler engines are almost a cpu00:34
Venemobut ShadowJK said that the modem has its own ARM CPU... not sure why it needs that though :D00:34
ShadowJKBut Symbian handsets used to say "Dual CPU" in their specs. Then Symbian gained hard-realtime capability, after which they could run Symbian and Modem on the same CPU (on N900 it's one CPU for Modem and one CPU for operating system) :-)00:34
*** renato_filho has quit IRC00:34
*** Dragnslcr has joined #maemo00:34
ShadowJKIt was a big costs-saving advantage for Nokia at one point :P00:35
DocScrutinizerVenemo: It needs that for managing the GSM OTA protocol00:35
*** Dragnslcr has quit IRC00:35
VenemoDocScrutinizer, is that protocol so hard that it needs its own CPU?00:35
DocScrutinizeryes00:35
*** Dragnslcr has joined #maemo00:35
Venemoheh00:35
DocScrutinizeresp if yu want the user to have full access to "the other" CPU00:35
*** renato_filho has joined #maemo00:35
Venemomhm00:35
Venemowell then no wonder that the cell modem uses up so much power00:36
DocScrutinizerit actually doesn't00:36
DocScrutinizerstandby is like 4mA00:36
DocScrutinizerwhich is pretty decent00:36
Venemowell the device's battery lasts considerably longer in offline mode00:36
ShadowJKYou know, when 3g specs were finalized, the fastest PC processor at the time was too weak to process all the protocols and algorithms required to implement 3g :-)00:36
Venemoheh00:36
VenemoI didn't know that00:36
* SpeedEvil checks on https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1109100:37
povbotBug 11091: Bug in cpufreq module - exposed in /proc/timer_stats00:37
* SpeedEvil sighs.00:37
DocScrutinizersure Venemo - that's because TX is blasting with up to 0.5W00:37
*** lopz has joined #maemo00:38
Venemomhmm00:38
*** Spydemon has quit IRC00:38
ShadowJKMostly power drain happens because of CDMA, your phone has to "join" other phones transmitting. Like a choir singing a chorus. Every phone has to regulate their transmission power accurately and precisely, so that no single one becomes too powerful, and so that the base station can still tell them apart. Once your phone is singing in the choir, it can't exit for a few seconds or so.00:38
ShadowJKSo, every single packet of data transmitted makes your phone transmit for like 5 seconds.00:39
DocScrutinizerVenemo: make sure your GPRS packet radio AP setup is empty, so no way any data gets transfered either way, and watch N900 standby like 250h on GSM00:39
ShadowJKWhich is roughly equivalent to 5 seconds of talk time.00:39
*** sq-one has quit IRC00:39
ShadowJKIf you're transfering data at high speed, the power drain is 2 - 4X that of "talk time" power consumption00:40
VenemoDocScrutinizer, yeah, GSM (even EDGE) also lasts considerably longer than 3G/HSDPA00:40
DocScrutinizerVenemo: see ShadowJK 's nice explanation above. 3G == WCDMA00:40
ShadowJKGSM/EDGE is TDMA. Instead of everyone transmitting at the same time, they all get a small timeslot during which they must attempt to transmit their data. After that, another device gets the chance to transmit.00:41
Venemomhmm00:41
Venemothanks for explaining ShadowJK :)00:41
DocScrutinizerwhich makes for the 200Hz humm on 2G00:41
*** e-yes has joined #maemo00:41
ShadowJKThere's lots of extra overhead because EDGE is a kludge ontop of a kludge ontop of a kludge, etc... so it's actually pretty inefficient overall.. But, for always-on stuff like IRC and instant messengers, it's alot better than 3g00:42
DocScrutinizerwas it 200?00:42
ShadowJKDunno :-)00:42
ShadowJKThe tip-tap-tip-tap in speakers is from the low-rate command channel I think... and then there's the hum at.. yeah, 200-400hz somewhere?00:42
DocScrutinizer20000:42
DocScrutinizergoogle for GSM timeslice - or slots00:43
DocScrutinizerthink it was 20000:43
ShadowJKI think the chinese are on the right track with their TCDMA based 3g/4g solution. I know they just did it to be different and reduce patent licensing expenses, but hey00:43
ShadowJKoh wait00:43
ShadowJKnevermind00:44
*** swc|666 has joined #maemo00:44
ShadowJKI don't know how TCDMA works :)00:44
DocScrutinizerbtw that's also where that nice Timing Advance value comes from - that tells you aout your distance to BTS on a 550m accuracy00:44
ShadowJKYeah :)00:44
GAN900Ah, electronics.00:45
ShadowJKThen we have wifi. Wifi is unique, its spectrum management facility is best described as "FUCK ME, FUCK YOU!"00:45
DocScrutinizerGAN900: that's definitely no electronics00:45
VenemoShadowJK, what do you mean by "FUCK ME, FUCK YOU!"?00:46
SpeedEvilhttp://fatpita.net/?i=726900:46
ShadowJKEvery station shouts, and the one that shouts first or loudest gets to speak, and then shouts until it gets its message across, however long that might take, blocking everyone else.00:46
GAN900DocScrutinizer, close enough for 5:46 on a Saturday. :P00:46
DocScrutinizerGAN900: that's what sw devels think about as "duh electronics, doesn't matter"00:46
VenemoGAN900, what 5:46? where are you? :O00:46
GAN900ShadowJK, makes the hardware rather cheap though, no?00:46
*** shanttu has quit IRC00:47
DocScrutinizerin fact that's basics about how stuff works, and most of it is sw related00:47
GAN900Venemo, in the land of 12-hour time.00:47
VenemoGAN900, it's 23:47 here00:47
DocScrutinizergood (UGT) morning everybody then00:47
GAN90017:47 here, but I was saving digits.00:47
ShadowJKGAN900, no not really. It's actually just someone who copy&pasted bits of the ethernet spec, and then someone had to implement it in hardware.00:48
ShadowJKon wireless, which behaves entirely different to wired.00:48
VenemoGAN900, ah. I thought you meant 5:46 AM :P00:48
VenemoShadowJK, btw, are you an EE too?00:49
ShadowJKCompare to like wimax, which allocates a fixed-length of transmission time (TX and RX) to every station, during which they'll push through as much data as possible. This ensures everyone gets a fair share of spectral bandwidth :-)00:49
ShadowJKVenemo, no00:49
VenemoShadowJK, you sure do know a lot about this stuff00:50
DocScrutinizerVenemo: He's knowledgeable enough to count as junior EE to me00:50
ShadowJKAt this point I'm at best some sort of ad-hoc hybrid of unqualified ME and AE :)00:50
SpeedEvilAE?00:50
ShadowJKautomation00:50
GAN900ShadowJK, ah, interesting.00:51

SpeedEvilhttp://linuxfr.org/nodes/85904/comments/1230981 - it's in english01:03
SpeedEvilSo the first and the very negative answer is that I absolutely despise the people who try to push the GPL as being about "ethics".01:03
SpeedEvilI think that's absolute bullshit. Why? Because ethics are to me something private. Whenever you use it as an argument for why somebody_else should do something, you're no longer being ethical, you're just being a sanctimonious dick-head.01:03

DocScrutinizer/dev/stderr is quite probably sth different than fileahndle 2 of a process02:48
ShadowJKMohammadAG, if it's your own app, then at the starting of the app I'd just reassign stdout/stderr to a file somewhere if such output is what you're after02:48

*** penguinbait has joined #maemo02:49
MohammadAGisn't there a way to prevent the app from closing on segfault?02:50
nox-attach a gdb?02:50
nox-or enable coredumps if that works on n90002:50
MohammadAGnox-, doesn't that prevent the app from doing what it normally does?02:51
nox-well you'd hit c for continue02:51
nox-and maybe tell gdb to pass one or the other signal thru02:51
ShadowJKIf it receives alot of signals normally, you'd tell gdb to ignore those02:51

psycho_oreosthere's lots of hatred on sony and they should continue hating imo :D. They (sony) screwed people around the world several times05:10
DocScrutinizerbut actually do nothing05:10
MohammadAGDocScrutinizer, point is, if sony's giving people an unlocked bootloader that's a huge step forwards05:10
psycho_oreosthe question will be: for how long will they momentarily play nice? like how they treated ps3 linux owners with otherOS?05:14
MohammadAGtill geohot the II shows up :P05:14
psycho_oreosI'll be honest here, I really don't see geohot being the culprit, he just likes attention and if sony has a flaw in their system, they should cop it and fix it rather than disabling the whole damn thing thereby pissing their linux community off. On top of that making ostracising comments like,"If you want to keep your OtherOS and don't want to play online with PSN, you don't have to upgrade."05:17
DocScrutinizerI won't give a single thought about Sony05:18

HRH_H_Crabhello all11:39
HRH_H_Crabi wonder if someone can give me some guidance,11:39
HRH_H_Crabmy phone tells me that it wants to upgrade "Linux kernel for power user (boot image)" but the upgrade fails because of the "3rd party package policy" or something like that.11:40
HRH_H_Crabim not sure whether i should be doing something to remove a block so that it can install, or whether i have to do something to stop it from trying to install that.11:40

HRH_H_Crabthanks.12:05

*** croppa_ is now known as croppa12:07
HRH_H_Crabalso, i find it confusing to understand what some of these packages are sometimes. i suspect that i might not even need that one. i experimented a bit with dual booting maemo / android but i didnt think much of android.12:08
robbiethe1stHRH_H_Crab: I always use the command-line tool; can't stand the slow gui one12:08
robbiethe1stYou can always google the name of a package; it'll let you know12:08
robbiethe1stpower-kernel's the "custom kernel" various people have come up with; it's always a good thing even if you don't want to OC12:09
HRH_H_Crabyeah12:09
HRH_H_Crabi use it for stuff like ipv612:09
HRH_H_Crabbut im not sure what the "boot image" part is. i would think that would actually install the new kernel and sort out the bootloader and all but it doesnt reboot the phone or anything when it installs.12:10
*** tackat has quit IRC12:11
robbiethe1stHm... Well, the kernel's got it's own partition on the disk12:13

moo_hey mo, what is gps callback in 'phone-control'?19:43
HukkaHow would the Qt daemon differ, it needs to bind to the dbus anyway?19:43
DocScrutinizerto monitor dbus for certain patterns and then start arbitrary scripts19:43
MohammadAGit ties dbus events to dbus methods afaik19:43
