RST38hJaffa: Recursion is where your stack grows00:13
RST38hJaffa: I.e. you do not just loop, you call yourself00:13
RST38hTail recursion (i.e. where you call yourself at the end of your function) can be effectively converted to iterations00:13
javispedroi think it was kind of a joke00:14
RST38hMaybe, yea, but I have not got it =E00:14
javispedroooh00:14

*** rd has joined #maemo00:31
javispedroDocScrutinizer: didn't check it, it's just that the entire multitouching thing is pretty much a jungle atm00:32
DocScrutinizerlol, expected no less than that00:32
DocScrutinizerMT is a concept way too young in IT00:32
DocScrutinizerprobably all APIs and whatnot will constatntly change on a weekly pace for the next say 5 years00:33

*** Smily has joined #maemo00:34
javispedrobefore xinput2, they were asking the kernel for mt directly, bypassing x11 =)00:35
DocScrutinizerooh new experimental xinput2.1, as of Dec 2010. Say, will it suffice when I check this site once a day for changes?00:36
*** Smily has quit IRC00:37
DocScrutinizeryou may feel pain, I start to feel nausea00:37
DocScrutinizerand I'm not even pondering to look at the headers00:38
RST38hthe key moment is when you start feeling insanity crawling up00:38
RST38hSymbian has been known to cause that00:38
*** rd has quit IRC00:38

DocScrutinizerI love to watch peolpe on experiencing that moment00:39

*** OkropNick has quit IRC00:39
DocScrutinizermaybe sybian designers felt similar00:40
RST38hSymbian designers are long beyond insanity now00:41
hiemanshuDocScrutinizer: I wonder if sybian is better than symbian :D00:41
RST38hA moment (locating an article)00:41
DocScrutinizerhiemanshu: I bet the designers are quite happy people00:41
hiemanshuDocScrutinizer: or maybe high00:41
GeneralAntilleshiemanshu, gotta hook it up to an AppleScript so it discos the house lights and turns on all of the stereos when I get an @nokia.com email containing "N950".00:41
javispedrodo we know the max number of simultaneous touches on the n9 display?00:42
hiemanshuGeneralAntilles: haha, nice :D00:42
hiemanshuGeneralAntilles: I have a google email checker/notifier, maybe I can patch it to play 'I feel good' when it get an email containg N95000:43

hiemanshuDocScrutinizer: but I can use my foot too?00:47
javispedroDocScrutinizer: you mutant racist00:47
DocScrutinizerLOL00:47
hiemanshujavispedro: I can probably got 10 fingers and 6 toes on the 3.9" screen00:47

*** vi___ has quit IRC00:56
hiemanshujavispedro: well, if nokia is dead in 5 years, I can see apple at the top, and android being the next symbian00:57
DocScrutinizerhiemanshu: see, this separates the hotspurs from the considerate API designers00:57
DocScrutinizera max of 10 seems ok00:57
hiemanshuDocScrutinizer: agreed00:57
hiemanshuDocScrutinizer: for something unlike that, for any normal workflow 4 is sane00:58
DocScrutinizeragreed00:58
hiemanshuis nokia changed the swipe to 2 finger instead of 1, it would avoid a lot of swiping mistakes00:58
*** the_lord has quit IRC00:58
DocScrutinizerHAH00:58
DocScrutinizergood point00:59
*** DrGrov has left #maemo00:59
hiemanshuesp if you have used an iPhone before, you will know how important swiping from the edge of the screen can be a times00:59
DocScrutinizerwhere's my gconf tweaker to set all those parameters?!?00:59
javispedroit's now CSS files.01:01
javispedrobut I disagree.01:01
javispedromultitouch suckss.01:01
hiemanshujavispedro: sure, but when you have it, use it sanely01:01
javispedroeverytime you require more than one finger, you've failed.01:01
hiemanshueverytime you require a fingure you have failed01:02
javispedrogimme my stylus!01:02

*** ColdFyre has joined #maemo01:03
DocScrutinizeractually scrolling with 2 fingers is the best part of my laptop's touchpad01:04
DocScrutinizerdamn, why mt, why c-ts at all, when you're not *exploiting* it?01:05
hiemanshuexactly01:05
hiemanshuusing mt just for pinching is like using a jet plane to go to work 5 mins away from home01:05
GeneralAntillesMultitouch is great for trackpads01:05
DocScrutinizerindeed01:05
javispedroDocScrutinizer: because I still like to use this stuff singlehandedly from time to time.01:05
GeneralAntillesGimmicky for mobile devices.01:06
* javispedro prefers synaptic's circular scrolling instead of twofinger01:06
DocScrutinizerso what? javispedro do you need two hands to do a 2 finger swipe instead of a one-finger swipe?01:06
javispedrohm.. yes?01:07
DocScrutinizero.O01:07
Hurrian...awright. the SD card has been loaded with MeeGo software.01:07
* javispedro ponders how to grab the thing stably so that I have more than thumb finger free.01:08
Hurrianuh... Harmattan software01:08
DocScrutinizerI start to get it why you had problems with  MAX_TOUCHES #define01:08
hiemanshujavispedro: use your foots01:08
hiemanshufeet*01:08
javispedroDocScrutinizer: sadly I only have one thumb finger per hand, dunno about you..01:08
DocScrutinizer2, like any decent parrot01:09

*** Tscheesy has quit IRC01:10
*** davyg has quit IRC01:10
Hurrianhopefully the meego kernel would disallow any freaky shit01:11
DocScrutinizerjavispedro: see, that's why we urgently need a API to *configure* such things like SWIPENUMFINGERS, T_DBLCLICK, SWIPEFRAMESIZE_PIX...01:11
javispedroyes, I was also being racist towards mutants here I think...01:11
*** geaaru has quit IRC01:12
javispedro;P01:12
*** Hurrian has quit IRC01:12
DocScrutinizerIt's simply arrogant for a UX designer to think he got the only valid doubleclick-duration etc01:12
DocScrutinizerall those parameters need a proper API, nah even a proper settings tool OOTB01:13
*** nid0 has joined #maemo01:15
*** PhonicUK has quit IRC01:16
DocScrutinizerthings like that auto-symbol/auto-bluekey, like what to do on doubleclick of $random(-button), like how many fingers to use for swipe gesture, how much damping / inertia kinetic scrolling got... all that is way more to the top of my list of important things user must have a way to control than such nonsense like wallpapers01:17
DocScrutinizermaybe it's just me and I'm going weird...01:19
hiemanshuI dont think I even change wallpapers on my phones/computers01:19
DocScrutinizerI never did01:19
hiemanshuwell my N900 has the default theme/wallpaper, so does my computer, my gaming PC and about every other device I own01:20
DocScrutinizerwell, I kicked out whatever wallpaper came with my desktop distro, and replaced it by a simple color gradient01:20
javispedrohttp://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Blogs/resources/300003/datepicker.png is still useless.01:21
javispedroday of the week! please!01:21
hiemanshuthe wallpaper on my gaming PC is a photo I clicked because the default W7 one is stupid and sasd01:21
hiemanshusad*01:21
DocScrutinizerOMFG I don't dare to even peek01:21

javispedrono need to get to brutal extremes01:31
javispedrowhen adding appointments, I'm usually the only one that looks at the ceiling, lost, making the mental calculation.01:32
javispedroevery otherone in the meeting having lost that ability because their pim platform does it for them.01:32
DocScrutinizerthis is so painfully ridiculously useless a widget, I'm out of words for it01:32
Hurrianah, crap, n950 image messed up my device01:34

DocScrutinizer(for harmattan/N9)01:37

*** Spydemon has quit IRC02:10
javispedrowhy you'd want to do that, I mean, mtdswap probably instantly killed your rootfs.02:10
javispedroit's not like mtd partitions are nicely mapped out in a first sector, they're hardcoded02:10
Hurrianrun N950 sw image -> hang on boot -> battery pull -> bootup M5 -> kernel panic -> startup -> Internal Errors Everywhere02:10
Hurrianvar was the only one on a ubi partition02:11

*** rcg has quit IRC02:23
ali1234you'll have to kill hildon and disabl the watchdog though02:23
javispedrowhy02:26
javispedroI mean, most of meegotouch runs without such ado02:26
ali1234because running two window managers isn't going to work very well?02:27

ali1234i mean whatever it is that reboots the phone if hildon exits02:27
*** Soder has joined #maemo02:28
javispedroeither way, if you plan to use the stock kernel, biggest issue is softfp sgx libraries02:28
ali1234why is that an issue? can't link to them?02:29
javispedronot easily...02:29
javispedrosgx libs have plenty of FP parameter passing -- not going to work unless you make a wrapper.02:30
*** the_lord has quit IRC02:30
javispedroand I'm not sure wheter the CE hardfp libraries will work with the stock n900 kernel, but most probably don't.02:31
javispedroif you want to get as of now the most similar ui to n9, just apt-get meegotouch (yes, it's there), and scp the theme files from harmattan. won't get swipe, but then swipe in n900 would be pain imho.02:32
* ieatlint wonders how long before swype takes an issue with swipe02:33
ali1234isn't it more about getting the apps?02:33
*** inz has joined #maemo02:33
javispedrobut I do not think you're getting the propietary apps working with stock kernel.02:34
javispedromaybe if you do the above but on top of meegoCE instead of maemo ;)02:35
ali1234yeah i was just thinking that02:35
ali1234can you make reverse debs like you can with rpms?02:35
javispedrono idea what that is.02:36
javispedrobut does not sound like the hard part.02:36
ali1234well with rpm you can query the list of files installed by each rpm, and then reconstruct the original rpm from the filesystem02:36
javispedroah.02:36
Hurrian...so either we fix the CE kernel or hack up the 2.6.32 kernel?02:36
ali1234thus turning an installed system back into a repository02:36
ali1234then you can install those rpms somewhere else :)02:37
javispedroHurrian: fix what?02:37
Hurrianto make it boot Harmattan02:37
Hurriande-adaptation02:37
javispedrobut what's broken.02:37
Hurrianactually, we have to break it nokia's way ;)02:38
javispedroforget about just flashing image, which is I think what you want to do.02:38
*** Ido__ has left #maemo02:39

javispedrochroot as ali1234 suggested, and start component by component. do not ever run one single initscript from the image.02:39
ali1234try booting the n950 kernel on n900, see what happens :)02:39
javispedrodifferent audio setup at least ;)02:39
ali1234where did it branch from mainline?02:39
ali1234just rebuild it with rx51 support :)02:40
*** petterw has quit IRC02:40
javispedrothat _might_ work.02:40
ali1234there is plenty of stuff to try02:40
ali1234most of it probably won't work02:40
javispedrocause I bet they did harmattan testing on n900, so it's probably not much rotten.02:40

javispedrohave to say that's probably rotary media large cache in effect.02:52

ali1234probably, coupled with firefox's retarded "i want to manage my own cache" policy02:53
javispedroali1234: on a 16GiB it may make sense to install preload and all the adaptative crap, if you can stand the hard disk activity.02:53
cehtehthe nice thing about 32 bit firefox builds is that it never needs more than 4GB ram :P02:53
ali1234which combined with ubuntu's relatively high swappiness value leads to disk cache getting cached in disk cache, and ram cache getting swapped to disk02:54

Hurrianor whatever stack CE people use02:58
javispedrobut aegis should work without bb5 (as in qemu) -- it will just boot in open mode.02:58

javispedroalterego: you should know that qgil posted on a TMO thread about extracting harmattan stuff to run on N900, telling them to go ask #meego-arm or f.m.c. I believe this also implicitly says Nokia is not going to pursue copyright aspects.03:02

* SpeedEvil ponders selling a painted n900 with upgraded firmware on ebay.03:06
SpeedEvilDocScrutinizer: true.03:06
Hurrianali1234: i feel queasy about running ext4 on a onenand03:07
alteregoBut the whole cellular stack would need to be replaced with meego ofono ..03:07
Hurrianoh, are nokia going to take down the firmware servers?03:07
ali1234it won't fit anyway03:07
Hurrianthat would suxxor03:07
alteregoThe tele ring stuff in harmattan is incompatible with N900 cell mo. From what I've gathered.03:07
Hurrianand btw, Harmattan rootfs compressed with zlib (btrfs) is about 700 MB03:07
Hurrian~3x the size of onenand03:08
Hurrianit's even bigger when compressed with ubifs' lzo03:08
javispedroharmattan uses btrfs?03:08
ali1234no, it uses ext403:08
alteregoHurrian: all runs off eMMC on N95003:08
Hurrianjavispedro, no, just made another sd card with btrfs03:08
javispedroHurrian: ah03:08
Hurrianif the first one worked, better see if this one boots faster03:08
Hurrianunfortunately, the first one made me reflash03:08
javispedroconsidering both meegoCE and harmattan have both independently chosen ext4 over btrfs..03:09
javispedro(note: don't know the details behind the decision, just results)03:09
cehtehbtrfs has still some known issues03:09
Hurriancehteh ++03:09
SpeedEvilext4 on flash is a debatable decision indeed03:09
HurrianENOSPCs everywhere03:09
cehtehenospc is fixed meanwhile03:09
Hurrianuncleanly unmounted BTRFS FSes can KP you when mounted03:09
Hurrianthat is a bitch03:09
Hurriandefinitely not worth the 10 seconds of boot i save on rotating media03:10
FIQext4 w/o journal?03:10
cehtehbut failing to write to the superblock gives a kernel panic and possibly leaves a corrupted fs behind03:10
FIQor is it w/journal?03:10
alteregoYeah, btrfs caused a lot of problems with battery popping03:10
cehtehext4 on the n900 works well for me03:10
FIQbecause journaling FS wouldn't make sense on flash memory..03:10
Hurrianext4 without journal? wtf?03:10
cehtehFIQ: why that?03:11
alteregoext4 without journal is like, well, ext2 :P03:11
cehtehyou need barriers and some gurantees about writes03:11
javispedroalterego: not really03:11
FIQas you never know what order things is written on it?03:11
Hurrianprobably the jnl should be write-balanced03:11
cehtehnah you still get delalloc which is quite cool03:11
Hurrianalso, no one uses full journaling03:11
javispedroalterego: most of the innovation in FSs comes from algorithms, not ondisk data structures, which is why I dislike btrfs.03:12
alteregojavispedro: is that just ext3 then? :)03:12
cehtehFIQ: thats more a firmware thing03:12
cehtehbut not a flash fault per se03:12
FIQok03:12
javispedroalterego: so ext4 without journaling is like ext2 with extends from a ondisk structures PoV, but uises the ext4 code, so it's faster.03:12
FIQthen i learned something new03:12
alteregojavispedro: ah right03:12
cehtehalterego: extents and delayed allocation make using ext4 favorable alone03:12
javispedro*extents03:12
alteregoneay, well, g'night folks.03:13

SpeedEvilHave you tried turning it off and on again?06:50
*** n900evil has joined #maemo06:51
robbiethe1stI was trying to add terminal support to backupmenu, and loaded the following modules: fbcon, font, bitblit, and softcursor.ko, then added them to my BM startup script. When I shut down maemo afterwards, I saw a console after x shut down. Booting into backupmenu also worked; I saw the console correctly. But, attempting to boot back into maemo resulted in a boot-loop: nokia screen, black, etc.06:52
robbiethe1stNot the 5-dots loop, just nokia screen.06:52
robbiethe1stNow, I have a recovery console open on the device, so I can mess with it.06:53
robbiethe1stBut I don't know what to check. Any pointers for debugging?06:53
ieatlintSpeedEvil: don't mix those two steps up or it really won't work06:53
SpeedEvilrobbiethe1st: Remove all from your script, and add them back one by one?06:54
robbiethe1stI did. I commented them all out, rebooted into BM, then rebooted... same deal.06:54
SpeedEvilhmm06:55
robbiethe1stcat /proc/bootreason gives 'sw_rst'06:56
SpeedEvilwatchdog06:56
robbiethe1stIt seemed a bit to quick for that...06:56
*** n900evil has quit IRC06:56
robbiethe1stUsuallly, it takes ~60 seconds. this takes ~15 pre cycle06:56
robbiethe1st(60 seconds for watchdog reboot)06:56
SpeedEvilhmm06:57
SpeedEvilThat's about the 'normal' boot time - when it boots but doesn't decide to go on06:57
robbiethe1stYea; I06:57
robbiethe1stI'd expect the 5 dots after that, but instead just reboot06:57
DocScrutinizererr, and you didn't maybe add those *.ko to any /etc/modules or whatever file?06:58
robbiethe1stcould running 'insmod /path/to/module' have put in any permanent entry?06:58
DocScrutinizerdunno, didn't think so06:58
robbiethe1stI didn't manually add them to anything but my BM file.06:59
robbiethe1stand commented them out.06:59
DocScrutinizerhell, cannot be06:59
DocScrutinizerbtw you say you have a console now, so obviously right now they are not commented out06:59
robbiethe1stNo; Not on the phone. I've got a remote console over USB07:00
DocScrutinizermake a backup of your backup ;-D, then completely replace with a former backup07:01
jonwilI think I found the one thing you cant do on a N900 without connecting it to a PC. Updating the Nokia Maps maps :)07:01
robbiethe1st(also, running those modules just gives a 'background' console with basically the kernel log - I haven't been able to get an *interactive* terminal yet)07:01

jonwilbtw, a useful tip if the flasher wont see the phone is to remove the battery, plug in the USB, start the flasher (which will say that it cant find a suitable device). Then you insert the battery and the flashing will start straight away17:45
jonwilCertainly works if you are using -l to load a kernel17:45
jonwilAssuming the maemo rootfs on the NAND is fine, you could try using that to -l the maemo kernel17:45
alteregojonwil: I just have it off, start flasher, then plug in usb17:46
alteregoNo need for battery popping17:46
jonwilwhatever works17:46
bash`jonwil: nice, I'll try...can I reflash maemo? Or it takes too many time?17:47
ShadowJKSeems like it for many it doesn't work unless you do the battery out thing17:47
jonwilYou could do that to -l load a maemo kernel17:47

jonwiland that will boot maemo17:47

cehtehwell i 'can' do such delicate soldering .. but that doesnt mean i like it19:16
Dibblah... There is actually sufficient space (given some chopping) to fit a mini-USB connector in there.19:16

jonwilIf I needed my USB port fixed and my device was out of warranty or I didnt want to take it to Nokia to get it replaced with an N8, I would ask around at some mobile phone/gadget repair type shops for somewhere that can do fine soldering and ask them to fix it :)19:20
hiemanshujonwil: well around here if open it yourself, and ask someone to fine solder it, its about half a euro19:22
DocScrutinizerthough the USB ruggedizing as of http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=547991#post547991 looks simple enough, even for mediocre iron artists19:22

DocScrutinizermerlin1991: that's normal for certain crypt() implementations linux is using to build the pw hashes in /etc/passwd (|shadow)20:23
merlin1991isn't that "unsafe" ?20:23
merlin1991brute forcing a pw lenght of 8 vs 14 is quite a HUGE difference afaik20:23
DocScrutinizernot really, but you're free to use other default encryption algo20:24

DocScrutinizermeh20:37
dm8tbrand I agree if it's the old crypt hash then it's not salted and john will crack it quickly20:37
dm8tbrstill there are significantly more secure passwords than lower case ascii 7bit20:37
*** aloisiojr has quit IRC20:37
cehtehnot only old crypt also more decent ones20:37
cehtehlength matters .. but 8 chars are not secure anymore even with sha1/256/whatever20:38
dm8tbrI'd like you to brute force a proper salted hash with 8 characters where you have no idea about the chars20:38
DocScrutinizerif you can get the N900 passwd file and hashes in there, then you owned the machine already. Absolutely academic debate to wonder how hard it may be to brute-force from hash to passwd20:38
dm8tbrexactly my point, thanks DocScrutinizer20:38
cehtehif gpus are fast enough to go over tens of millions hashes per second then even salting doesnt help .. thats brute force, not rainbow tables20:38
merlin1991cehteh: what did you do to enable public key logon to the n900?20:39
merlin1991anything special?20:39

cehtehthey starting HAM for example which runs as root .. so if there is a bug/exploit, there is at least some root priv to read passwd there20:43
merlin1991how should they be?20:43

rcgdid anyone install the harmattan scratchbox along with the fremantle one?22:59
hiemanshurcg: yes, works fine22:59
rcgcool.. did you do it just by using the provided install script?22:59
DocScrutinizerGAN900: I should've had a N9 in my hands (and on my toolbench) 3 months ago :-P22:59
hiemanshurcg: yes22:59
GAN900Stupid Elop, stupid board.23:00
rcghiemanshu: great. thanks!23:00
DocScrutinizerthough OTOH I don't really see why I should do a qualified hw review for Nokia for free, for a device I'm not really excited about23:00
rcghiemanshu: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Harmattan:Platform_Guide/Getting_started_with_Harmattan_Platform_SDK/Installing_Harmattan_Platform_SDK <-- this was what you did, right?23:01

Parsleei need a broken n900.  What broke?23:16
*** sq-one has joined #maemo23:16
alteregojacekowski: primary phone? :/23:16
jacekowskialterego: yes23:16
jacekowskialterego: i have N95 as well so i'll use that for now23:16
alteregoDo you have an N81023:16
jacekowskino23:16
alterego?23:16
alteregoEek23:17
alteregoYou can charge the N900 battery in other handsets if the battery bay is larger than the battery23:17
jacekowskinot really a solution23:17
jacekowskii'm wondering if it'll be easier to get nokia to fix it23:18
jacekowskior just claim on insuranc23:18
jacekowskiinsurance*23:18
alteregoAnd if it has the right connectors, like N81023:18
alteregoYou'll probably get an N8 though ..23:18
jacekowskialterego: why?23:18
alteregojacekowski: Jaffa got an N8 "upgrade" when they decided not to fix it last week.23:18
alteregoI think they may not stock replacements anymore.23:19
alteregoI think I might reinforce my two N900s23:19
jacekowskiso insurance then23:19
jacekowskii'll tell them that i've lost it23:19
alteregoAnd you think your insurance company are more likely to be able to get you a replacement?23:20
jacekowskiwell, they have to23:20
alteregoThey have the same conditions as Nokia "equivalent functionality"23:20
alteregoThey'll probably more likely than Nokia give you an N8, tbh.23:21

cehtehif you argue that you are a maemo developer and need the n900 then a n8 is not equivalent23:24
cehtehno matter what nokia claims23:24
cehtehif they dont have replacement, then money back23:24
* cehteh wonders if one can get a N9 or N950 as replacement :P23:25
cehtehwell its just announced .. when it gets released, considering nokias awesome development speed, then no n900 with any warranty are out in the wild anymore ..23:26

Parsleethink the community could get meego or cordia on a next gen phone?23:29
ParsleeIn a couple years something might get built that is significantly better than the N90023:31

Jaffajacekowski: The insurance companies usually give you cash, so you could look on eBay. Premiums usually go up for claiming, so a new in box N8 could get you more cash.23:33
JaffaThough they seem to be going quite cheaply on eBay :-(23:33

javispedroI'm pondering that you could probably sue Nokia for that.23:40
javispedrobut. I bet a majority of the populace just keeps quiet when this happens as they assume n8 > n900, so they do no thing. a quick word with nokia care to tell them you think otherwise might get you something..23:41

javispedroit all depends on wheter you think the "replacement" product meets expectations.23:44
DocScrutinizeralterego: jacekowski: time for ruggedizing the USB here :-S23:44
*** shamus has quit IRC23:44
javispedroat least, I'm reading local law and seems that you can force manufacturer to _repair_ your old device if replacement doesn't "work as per specifications of the original product".23:44
*** Atarii has quit IRC23:44
ieatlintjavispedro: actually, i think you'll find the warranty says it depends on whether nokia thinks that23:44

*** mortenvp has quit IRC23:46
*** mortenvp has joined #maemo23:46
DocScrutinizerany way money back isn't an option, as manufacturer/reseller may pay the "current value" only, means you get ~5% off per month you used the product23:46
javispedroyes, that's also stated here.23:46
Jaffajavispedro: I've sent an email to the address on the letterhead of the note explaining they "hope I enjoy my upgrade"23:47
DocScrutinizeryour best bet is to get an *expensive* "replacement" and sell on ebay to trade in for a "new" N90023:48
ieatlintthe n8 does make a nice camera anyway, hehe23:48
javispedroJaffa: I think that's the best course of action as, being optimist, I believe they think they're doing you a favor (giving you a "better" device vs making you wait and getting a repaired/refurbished n900)23:48
Jaffajavispedro: Aye23:48
DocScrutinizerindeed23:49
