*** kthomas_vh has joined #maemo11:24
psycho_oreosthat link is actually meant to be a repository :) if you dig around you'll see dists directory :)11:24
DocScrutinizerooh, k. nevertheless I don't feel like adding a repo to my catalogs list for a single package11:25
psycho_oreosfyi: http://gerrymoth.co.uk/?p=27811:26
psycho_oreosthat's how one is supposed to add it into their HAM/fapman :)11:27
psycho_oreosbut the technical good thing about adding the repository just for one package is that it makes apt take care of the guesswork11:27
*** Roomerlol has quit IRC11:27
DocScrutinizerthe bad thing is neither ham nor fapman are meant to handle long lists of catalogs in a non-sucking manner11:28
psycho_oreosindeed11:30
DocScrutinizerand each additional repo adds chances your daily (hourly?) automatic check for updates will fail due to one of them being temporarily not available, or simply fsackdup11:30
psycho_oreosthough with all that in mind, fapman still handles better than HAM overall, afterall fapman is basically a GUI over apt-* tools11:30
DocScrutinizerwith all the problems this introduces. There's a reason HAM does additional things fapman doesn't bother to take care about. That's why fapman fails on some packages, also why sometimes fapman completely messes up all your database11:32
*** M4rtinK has joined #maemo11:33
DocScrutinizerham as well is a gui with apt-get backend11:33
*** schend has quit IRC11:34
DocScrutinizerand while there are definitely some idiotic things in ham that make it unbearably slow in handling, some of the stuff that ham does is quite needed and eventually you'll learn it's not a good idea fapman "optimized" them out11:34
flailingmonkeyi have to say that with zypper i don't find myself missing apt :p11:35
DocScrutinizerzypper on fremantle? o.O11:35
meceflailingmonkey, aptitude zypper whatever. they're all the same imo.11:35
DocScrutinizeryup11:36
flailingmonkeyi know, but one thing people got grumpy about with the whole deb vs. rpm thing was they wouldn't have apt11:36
*** florian_kc is now known as florian11:37
DocScrutinizerI couldn't care less, and I'm not joining in to the daily deb vs rpm flamewar :-D11:37
flailingmonkeyyum... doesn't cut it IMO11:37
meceas far as I'm concerned apt == yum, aptitude == zypper11:38
fluxdocscrutinizer, but some things make HAM needlessly slow. for example it is not possible to choose a batch of packages to install.11:38
meceflux, didn't they add that in pr1.3?11:38
fluxoh, nice :-)11:38
mecemaybe not.11:38
meceI don't use ham11:38
DocScrutinizerflux: I thought I pretty clearly stated above there are such idiotic flaws in HAM, yes11:38
fluxalso, another thing that has annoyed about apt/dpkg in general is that apparently binary databases are the evil11:39
meceDocScrutinizer, I think the slow refresh is the biggest problem11:39
*** zap__ has quit IRC11:39
fluxbut perhaps it's just a matter of someone writing an sqlite backend for it :) (and breaking tons of tools in the process perhaps)11:39
meceI think ham would be ok if all the lists were cached and automagically refreshed in the background (if set to do so) evey now and then, and when the app is launched the cached lists are shown.11:40
*** TimmyT has joined #maemo11:40
DocScrutinizermece: ack11:40
DocScrutinizernot even across launches, just across installation steps11:41
fluxmece, I also wouldn't mind if it supported the more recent (in debian) incremental updates of the database :)11:41
DocScrutinizerthough showing a cached list while updating in background was a really smart thing to do11:41
psycho_oreosI thought HAM heavily relies on its internal apt-worker.real program. Though with red pill enabled I saw an option to make HAM use apt-get algorithms11:41
DocScrutinizerpsycho_oreos: aiui apt-worker is a wrapper around apt-get11:42

psycho_oreosin fact mtd_debug imo behaves very much like dd, I dumped mtd special devices to a regular file using both of these programs and the results were exact same, even the md5sums matched12:08
psycho_oreosthe only worthy to note here is that the tools provided in mtd-utils provides more fascinating insight, like mtdinfo tells you what mtd devices belonged to what part. I never knew mtd0 was actually xloader12:10

DocScrutinizer[2011-08-17 17:18:49] <DocScrutinizer> disclaimer: I haven't *checked* if mtd_debug handles bad blocks correctly, just assumed it as otherwise the tool was rather redundant aka useless12:15
DocScrutinizerredundant here means: "dd would be the same as mtd_debug"12:16
mecebwah stupid mailing lists. How do I know if this thing worked?12:16
psycho_oreoshah! *facepalms self* it pays to read the entire thing :) Though I have yet to find out exactly where my bad PEB is. I previously skimmed through some information on ubifs and jffs2 for instance and their way of handling files/errors and what not are very different to conventional means12:17
*** mtnbkr has joined #maemo12:18
psycho_oreosi.e. a pita for one to not be able to harness ubifs/jffs2 as a regular block device12:19
DocScrutinizeryes, that's what it's all about12:19
DocScrutinizerand I'd think mtd_debug has all the magic built in12:20
robbiethe1stWell, you *can* use it as a block device, but it won't preserve/handle bad blocks etc.12:20
vi__Imma gonna ask a question12:20
psycho_oreoswhat now confuses me is that most likely prior to mounting these ubifs images is whether or not when after examining NAND chip and found a few PEB be added into the NAND or because its handled in its own unique way that the actual bad PEB is skipped out12:21
vi__so I use flasher to unpack the rootfs firmware image and find a jffs2 'blob'12:21
DocScrutinizerso now robbie could finally revert to / add optional handling of raw images to backupmenu, as it was in the very beginning and gut bashed for using dd and thus potentially doing harm to NAND as it didn't know to handle bad blocks12:21
psycho_oreosits not jffs2 blob, its ubifs for N900 :)12:21

robbiethe1stYes.12:25
vi__can I shove my own kernel into the image as well?12:25
robbiethe1stYes and no: we don't yet know how to make a "combined" image, but we can flash kernel and rootfs independantly with flasher12:26
robbiethe1stthose are both doable12:26
robbiethe1stthe kernel's not anything special; just grab the file from any N900 kernel deb package12:26

GunArmever notice how unpredicable charging is with non-nokia-sanctioned wall-to-usb cables? i have to plug-unplug between 8 and 15 times before it starts charging?17:36
DocScrutinizer(I suspect a defect cell with rather high Z, so removing charger makes it drop a lot of voltage)17:36
GunArmthe nokia cable starts charging right away17:37
DocScrutinizerGunArm: nonsense17:37
ArkenoiDocScrutinizer: a second or two. sometimes it really shuts off (it apparently does not understand that battery was really charged and shows battery level that was straight before charging), sometimes it actually catches the fact that battery is fully charged now and works normally.17:37
GunArmdocscrutinizer ...i used to have to do it every night before I found my nokia charger, my girlfriend would try to guess how many plugs it would take without going over, ie 917:38
DocScrutinizerGunArm: for no name chargers you either have D+- short then it shall work as with Nokia CA-10, or you don't have D+- short then I wonder if 15 mating rounds would make the N900 start charging at anything better than 100mA17:38

Mekbefore my usb port started dying I had similar symptoms, but then with all nokia stuff; some nokia cables would still work easily, some would be much more problematic17:39
DocScrutinizerGunArm: you got a defective USB plug or receptacle somewhere17:39
GunArmcrashanddie, i believe in Jesus in the sense that he is a made up person17:40
GunArmdocscrutinizer what is a D+-short?17:41
crashanddieI've started lobbying my local government to make it a requirement to print "All characters in this book are fictional" in all Bibles.17:41
DocScrutinizerdang, with charging from wallcharger there's definitely noting beyond 4 contacts with wires attached, one minus, one plus, and two shorted to each other17:41
chem|stGunArm: D is the data pins on the cable17:42
DocScrutinizerGunArm: the data lines of USB, the middle 2 pins of a standard A USB17:42
GunArmoh i see17:42
GunArmso to charge we get ground, power and then short the two data pins17:42
chem|styes17:42
GunArminterestink17:42
GunArmif the datapins dont short, it wont charge?17:43
GunArmmaybe one of the data pin prongs on that wire was malformed17:43
DocScrutinizersometimes when you mate sloppy, it doesn't detect the D+- short and comes up with "mass storage / PC mode" requester as it thinks it's a PC17:43
GunArmah so no D+- sort and it should still react just not like it should to a wall17:44
GunArmit wouldnt react at all until that magical 13th mating17:44
GunArmits not really an issue now since i found my real cable, im just curiuos.  I lived with this for 6 months every night17:45
GunArmwhen it was mated and didnt react, no amount of wiggling the cable would make it react,17:45
DocScrutinizeractually scratch my mass-storage comment - it doesn't react at all to a wallcharger with missing D+- short17:46
GunArmit had to be reseated until it reacted, and then no amount of wiggling the cable seemed to make it lose its charging connection, so I took that to mean it wasnt a connector problem17:46
DocScrutinizerat least when battery is already charged (won't discharge it now, just to test ;-D)17:46
GunArmyes!17:46
GunArmactually17:46
GunArmcome to think of it, when it was TOTALLY drained and off, it would charge from the first mating.  I forgot about that, as I never wanted to let it actually die17:47
GunArmso its probably a malformed data pin on the cable17:47
DocScrutinizerusually noname wallwart chargers miss the D+- short, as do almost all car charger plugs17:48
GunArmyep, same experience with the car charger17:48
DocScrutinizerso your 13 mate cycles may be a 'magic incantation' to trick N900 into seeing sth that's not there17:48
DocScrutinizeryou *could* even call that a bug then17:49
GunArmlol that it ever worked you mean?17:49
DocScrutinizeryes17:49
DocScrutinizerit's a somewhat silly spec by Nokia, but N900 isn't supposed to work with chargers that don't have D+- short17:50

GunArmbut with the fart apps and "the hangover" sound boards, you also get useful apps that have gone through full dev cycle and QA17:58
DocScrutinizernot all of them are great17:58
GunArmthe n900 has such sweet hardware17:58
DocScrutinizerbut I'm actually not missing any 'commercial drive'17:58
GunArmbut lack of the ability to use half of it17:58
crashanddieThe N900 has never been plagued by the lack of software, nor the fact that the software was free.17:58
crashanddieThat is seriously, the least problem of the N900.17:58
GunArmi seriously disagree17:58
GunArmive been using this phone for 2 years17:59
*** TimmyT has quit IRC17:59
GunArmand i feel like every app or software is developed JUST enough to show your friend "hey look how cool this is" but not enough to actually use17:59
GunArmi was NEVER able to get irreco to work17:59
crashanddieYes, and that has nothing to with monetisation.17:59
DocScrutinizerjust works fine here17:59
crashanddie(same here)17:59
javispedroyeah, bad example18:00
crashanddieBecause nothing ever stopped devs from implementing licensing inside the apps themselves.18:00
DocScrutinizermodulo the weak IR LED18:00
DocScrutinizercrashanddie: indeed18:00
crashanddieWhat fucked Maemo up is the amount of choices to make when you wanted to dev for it.18:00
crashanddieA crooked development environment (scratchbox), and TOO MANY CHOICES.18:00
* javispedro disagrees18:00
crashanddiePeople come here, and asked "How do I develop for Maemo?"18:00
JaffaAf'noon all18:00
DocScrutinizerthere's been sygic and a lot of people were willing to spend money on it18:00
javispedronone of the choices worked18:00
crashanddieOn Android, iPhone, you get one development environment, simulator, whatnot.18:01
DocScrutinizersame for angry birds level packs18:01
javispedrocrashanddie: if you have a great "favoured" choice for newbies all is well, the number doesn't matter at all.18:01
crashanddieOne language, mainly, with examples, and bam, you're going.18:01
DocScrutinizerhi Jaffa18:01
crashanddieBut people joining this channel, over the years, asking "How should I dev?"18:01
crashanddieAnd a flamewar ensued18:01
*** marthd_ has joined #maemo18:01
javispedrobut we had Gtk+ -- unteachable to noobs, Qt -- half working, QML -- never worked.18:01
crashanddie"C++ W00T GTK+ w00t"18:01
*** marthd has quit IRC18:02
crashanddieSome autistic devs screaming "Nooo, do everything in bash command line"18:02
crashanddieLastly, some were hitting at Qt, which didn't work if a Troll's life depended on it18:02
DocScrutinizerlol for flamewar - so true18:02
crashanddieOther were telling you to use C.18:02
*** ErwinJunge has joined #maemo18:02
crashanddie5 minutes later, the newbie asking for help would go away with a "/quit wtf fuck this, nerds"18:03
crashanddieand the community, it's geeky community everyone loved so much18:03
crashanddieis the only thing that drove Maemo into the wall.18:03
DocScrutinizerand finally luke-jr jumped in and explained to all of us Qt isn't a toolkit but a language18:03
GunArmfor me with irreco its not just the hardware, the implementation of the software is TOO customizable, you have to find all the codes and then build the remote one button at a time, its so unintutive I couldnt even ever make it work with youtube tutorials, thats only one program but theres no alternatives, which is the sortof almost socialist problem with open source in general, a single community built solution without competition18:03
GunArmthe only game that was ever worth playing that doesnt crash when you try to run it (like 50% of them) is numptyphysics18:04
crashanddieBecause "free as in beer" is only good when the system is ready to roll. You need a framework to build something, and that is something that Maemo has never been able to offer. It gave you a dozen tools to build your own framework.18:04
*** Jucato has quit IRC18:05
crashanddieI mean, fuck me, one of the greatest tools to come out of Maemo is lcuk's liqbase, and he wrote everything from scratch, and it took him what, 15 years of thinking before he got his concept right.18:05
GunArmgames are important on phones, more than even on computers for me, and open source games typically just dont get the dev time18:05
*** mairas has quit IRC18:06
GunArmn900fly is a good game tho ;)18:06
javispedrothe problem is that the current situation is not really improved much.18:06
javispedrowe now have Qt that doesn't work, QML that works somethat, and MTF that works but is unteachable.18:06
DocScrutinizerGunArm: there've been several IR-controls tailored to target exactly one appliance. Too bad none of them met your needs18:06
*** mitsutaka has quit IRC18:06
crashanddieGunArm, open source android games: andoku, asqare, caverns of fire, frozen bubble, hot death, knave arthur's sword, lexic, gymkhana, nethack, newton's cradle, opensudoku, wordsearch, replica island, robotfindskitten, netwalk, web wars, sokoban, etc18:07
DocScrutinizerGunArm: and in IRreco there's a huge online database with predefined control skins, if that doesn't have anything for you - well what can I say?18:07
DocScrutinizerI admit that online DB isn't exactly up to date and QA-cleaned in any way18:08
GunArmcrashanddie, my opnion is that android has enough well developed commercial apps to make the phone ubiquitous enough to allow good opensource stuff on the side, but with the n900... maybe thats wrong because theres the ovi store, but it just never got the market penetration to get serious dev attention18:08
*** zap_ has quit IRC18:09
* javispedro had hoped they'd settle on Qt, which is at least sanely designed. In fact, that's what I thought they were going to do and why I thought that despite being a Gtk+ fan the Qt move was a good idea.18:09
javispedrobut however, first came MTF, and I died a little. Then QML.18:09
DocScrutinizerit got dev attention, it didn't get market droids attention18:09
GunArmdocscrutinizer i always heard about the skins and remote templates and stuff but I am a computer engineer and i could never figure it out in an hour of sitting18:09
javispedroGunArm: if your remote is not common enough that it did not have a template, well, sorry.18:10
javispedroon a commercial app without such heavy customization that would usually mean you don't get to use the remote at all or you get a plain skin that doesn't match the remote at all.18:10
GunArmdont get me wrong, i really like my n900, and am generally all about open source18:11
javispedronote thought that I do think that having IRTX without IRRX is the stupidest idea of all time18:11
*** Triscar0 has joined #maemo18:11
javispedroand I back then predicted this would mean any remote app would be mostly useless without learning functionality.18:11

DocScrutinizercrashanddie: (liqbase) and it's a pity he doesn't promote it in any way whatsoever18:15
DocScrutinizerso it's mostly unknown, even to me18:15
javispedrohe doesn't ? =)18:16
DocScrutinizerwell, not really, not for the thing it basically is18:16

DocScrutinizerfirst thing I've seen of liq was liqtorch and I thught W*T*F!?!!?! 10MB for a white LCD - now how stupid is THIS liq thing??18:17
crashanddieThen again, bash on a brand new N900 takes 22MB so...18:18
GunArmopensource dev is based on individuals whims and hobbies, and if a device is completely dependant on that, when there arent even very many people in that environment yet to have those whims, youre destined for problems18:19
DocScrutinizerdoesn't matter - I created a link on desktop to http://about:blank and loughed my ass off18:19
DocScrutinizerI leant about what liq actually is only way later18:19

GunArmim not trolling honestly18:20

javispedrowell that's assertion has been proven false numerous times18:21

GunArmits ok I see how i sound like a troll, it sounds like im complaining about maemo in a maemo channel but im just curious how you guys see this issue regarding open source phones18:21
javispedrothe fact is.18:21
*** Dhraakellian has joined #maemo18:21
javispedrothis is not an open source phone.18:21
crashanddieSure, RedHat soon became an Inc, but it doesn't take away the fact that it all started because someone, at some point, thought, "fuck this, nothing is answering my problems, I'm going to do this myself".18:21
javispedroso the point is rather moot.18:21
GunArmregarding linux, it works because the platform is so big that it already has so many developers "DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS", but how many decades did it take linux to become usable be the avarage person (let alone attractive)18:22
GunArmbig = common18:22
* DocScrutinizer has the strange feeling like this was a week full of Fridays18:22
javispedroGunArm: less than what it took for MS's OS!18:22
crashanddieErhm... Less than 5-6 years?18:22
crashanddieI started using Linux when I was 8. That's 17 years ago.18:23
DocScrutinizeryoungster ;-P18:23
GunArmim really not against open source software, im just saying, there are pros and cons to any model, even blessed open source has some cons, which sounds like heresy in some circles18:23
crashanddieNo, it doesn't.18:24
crashanddieBut generalising with stupid arguments is heresy to any sane mind.18:24
*** TimmyT has joined #maemo18:24
*** wazd_N950 has quit IRC18:24
DocScrutinizerI wish there were computers or even digital components available to mere mortals when I was 818:24
crashanddieYes, some open source projects SUCK, because little 16yo genius dev thinks he's the bee's knees, when in fact, he doesn't understand diddly squat about project management, and how to keep his devs in check.18:24
GunArmyou might have been a linux tinkerer in 1995 , but linux hasnt exploded toward the mainstream since ubuntu like 4 years ago18:25
DocScrutinizerhell when I was 8 there was B&W TV18:25
crashanddieoh bollocks GunArm.18:25
crashanddieBut when people with real-life experience, and honest to god dedication come to the table, open source projects fly.18:25
GunArmi dont disagree with that18:25
vi__DocScrutinizer: im sure there was the babbage steel banded differance engine available in your youth.18:25
GunArmim totally with you18:25
crashanddieGunArm, call your nearest local ISP, ask them when they started using Linux as their main server operating system?18:25
crashanddieI'll bet you one arm and a leg, it's something circa 1997.18:26
GunArmthe issue tho is how big is the crowd currently living in the environment, from which a small fraction are good devs18:26
DocScrutinizervi__: sure, alas I already was severely into electronics at that age18:26
GunArmi dont doubt that, but servers at an ISP are not the same as wide acceptance from the general public, like phones18:26
*** scoobertron has joined #maemo18:26
GunArmthose ISPs had to call in consultants to set up those servers18:27

GunArmcrashanddie, not at all, 'on-par' requires a value system for evaluation, your value system is obviously kernel reliability etc which is good for servers, im talking about a MARKETING model to make a device ubiquitous to the mass public, for MASS ADOPTION by the dumb general public, they need userfriendlyness even if it crashes all the time, linux has always been more reliable that other OS, but recent distros in the like of ubuntu have made it so your18:34
GunArmgrandma can use it, your grandma has to be able to use a phone to penetrate the market18:34
crashanddieActually, my grandma is dead you insensitive clod.18:35
GunArmopen source dev snowballs as more librariers are made, but it starts slower when half of them dont exist yet, and a device has a short lifecycle compared to the desktop PC platform18:35
DocScrutinizer1 year later I controlled the keys by relais, and had feedback to the program execution unit by decoding minus sign out of the LED multiplex signal18:35

crashanddieGunArm, elop, the new Nokia CEO, is an ex-Microsoft exec. Just after he got to power, they announced they would fulfil their promise to have at least one MeeGo handset (the N9), but that there would never be another phone using MeeGo (roughly). All other phones would use WP7.18:41

*** Sazpaimon has quit IRC22:14
gnutoobasically if it's not a n900 official charger  you have that:22:14
onen|openBmapwell not sure, what details do you need? it is a kind of adapter that plug into a slot, which used to be designed for cigarette lightner. The other side regular usb, as on a computer22:14
gnutooto get more than 100 mA there is the need of a negotiation between the phone and the usb charger22:15
gnutoowhich doesn't happen22:15
gnutoobecause it's a dumb charger22:15
gnutooso the old phone may consume less than 100mA22:15
gnutooand the n900 may consume more.....22:15
*** Triscar0 has joined #maemo22:16
onen|openBmapgnutoo: well I am quite impressed by myself, as my intuition was right! (n900 being to picky (based on stories about the battery charging handling which is weird on n900 for what I have understood))22:16
*** Sazpaimon has joined #maemo22:16

gnutoobattery charging is weired, that's true however n900 is not the only phone that consume more than 100mA22:17
gnutoobattery charging is done in userspace22:17
*** Venemo_ has joined #maemo22:17

*** noir23 has joined #maemo22:18

gnutooI must re-read the free charging scripts....22:19
gnutoobasically or you negociate 500mA, you get 100mAm however....22:20
onen|openBmapso I have to replace my car adapter, to something able to deliver more than 100mA. Does this exist?22:20
*** Necc86 has quit IRC22:20
gnutoothere is a third way, you add a resistor in the charger like an official car charger and detect that22:20
*** z4chh has quit IRC22:20
gnutoolook at official n900 chargers if that exist22:20
gnutooelse there is an easy eay22:21
gnutoo*way22:21
gnutooget a 12V->220v AC adapter22:21
gnutooand put your n900 stock charger in the AC adapter plug22:21
gnutoohowever that can be noisy as there is often a fan22:21
onen|openBmapIIRC the wall charger of n900 delivers 1200mA, while the one of my former phone delivers 1000mA. All the pieces of the puzzle fits ;-)22:22
gnutooyes there is a resistor or something like that in the charger22:22
gnutooit's detected by the phone22:22
gnutooI think it's in the kenrel22:23
gnutooso it know it can take more than 100mA22:23
gnutooand it does22:23
onen|openBmapand about the universal charger for mobile phone which has been decided (at least in Europe for what I know), will it work with n900?22:24
gnutoohmmm I don't know that part enough....22:24
gnutoomaybe there is an universal resistor value, no idea....22:25
gnutoomaybe wikipedia has the answer at the USB article tough22:25
