Palican sombody help me what doing this x86 asm instruction? movzbl (%eax),%eax00:35
Paliand what is doing this? mov 0x8057b40(,%eax,4),%edx00:36

lxp1movzbl: zero-extends byte to long00:44
Technomikeguys i am trying to download or save files on my n900 and it shows the message 'Not Allowed' . i think its a problem with the file system because i was unraring an archive on my n900 earlier and it froze so i had to remove the battery.00:45
*** setanta has quit IRC00:45
Technomikeis there any fix?00:45
*** kwtm has quit IRC00:46
lxp1is it possible that movzbl (%eax),%eax does write the last byte of the address to the address itself?00:46
PaliMOVZBL Move Zero-Extended Byte to Long00:47
Palifrom http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/references/macvax/op-codes/Instructions/movz.html00:47
*** kwtm has joined #maemo00:49
*** RaeCarruth has joined #maemo00:51
PaliFor MOVZBL, the low 8 bits of the destination are replaced by the source operand. the top 24 bits are set to 0. The source operand is unaffected.00:53
Palilxp1, you are right00:54
Paliand what does this means? mov 0x8057b40(,%eax,4),%edx00:54
RaeCarruthhow do i manually delete a stubborn app that refuses to vanish? which directories do i need to look in other than /usr/bin ?00:54
*** bergie has quit IRC00:58
lxp1yeah it may be correct, but maybe i swapped src/dst, depends on what assembler syntax it is00:59
Palisyntax is gcc (GAS)00:59
lxp1okay then it is wrong01:00
lxp1then it does somthing like this in c similar syntax: %eax = (char) *(%eax)01:01
Paliok01:01
*** tackat has joined #maemo01:02
Palieax = (*eax) & 0xFF;01:02
lxp1which makes a bit more sense than the other variant01:02
*** RaeCarruth has left #maemo01:02
lxp1yes you are right01:02
DocScrutinizersimple dereferentiation01:03
DocScrutinizerbefore eax has an address pointer, after it has the value of that addr storage01:03
Paliok, and what is this? movzbl %al,%eax01:04
Paliwhat is register %al?01:04
DocScrutinizernfc01:04
lxp1it references the lower bits of %eax01:04
PaliI did not see %al before01:04
DocScrutinizeradress level?01:04
lxp1that means the upper bits stay the same as they are01:05
DocScrutinizeraccu lower?01:05
lxp1yeah it should be the lower 8bit if i remember correctly01:05
DocScrutinizeral and ah?01:06
DocScrutinizeraccu lower 8bit, accu higher 8 bit? err 16 maybe01:06
lxp1ah should be eax[15:8]01:06
lxp1yes i think so01:06
lxp1but if you write to %al or %ah you don't modify the other bits of the accu register (%eax)01:07
lxp1but in this case you only read from it so it is similar to eax = eax & 0xFF01:08
Paliin objdump is this: "movzbl (%eax),%eax movzbl %al,%eax"01:09
Paliso both instruction do only "eax = *eax & 0xFF"?01:10
lxp1no the first does eax = *eax & 0xFF the second does eax = eax & 0xFF01:10
lxp1but it doesn't really make sense to do this...01:10
lxp1so you just could skip the second line01:11
*** mesx has quit IRC01:11
lxp1do you still want to know what mov 0x8057b40(,%eax,4),%edx does?01:12
Paliyes01:12
lxp1General form of memory address references:01:13
lxp1ADDRESS_OR_OFFSET(%BASE_OR_OFFSET, %INDEX, MULTIPLIER)01:13
lxp1FINAL ADDRESS = ADDRESS_OR_OFFSET + %BASE_OR_OFFSET + %INDEX * MULTIPLIER01:13
lxp1so that means edx = 0x8057b40 + %eax * 401:14
Paliok, thanks!01:14
luke-jrwas Pali = power kernel?01:18

ShadowJKyeah :P03:21
*** otep has joined #maemo03:21
ShadowJKThe guess part is an assumption that at 3248mV there'll be 6% left until ~3000mV which is considered to be 0, though the hardware shutdown is around 2800mV actually, and the cellular modem stops working at around 3100...03:22
*** slonopotamus has quit IRC03:22
ShadowJKWhether there's actually 6% left until modem stops working, or until the entire device dies, is just an assumption/guess :P03:23
Palilxp1, thanks for help03:27
PaliDocScrutinizer, now I know how flasher got that 8 bytes :D03:28
PaliI found function which return 32bit int from array in flasher-3.503:28
Palifirst is called that function for secondary image03:29
Paliand returned 4bytes is added to array (first 4 - header, second size)03:29
Paliand that function is called on 12bit array (header, size, output from first call)03:30
Pali*12byt03:31
Paliand returned 4 bytes are last 4 bytes for that stupid nokias magic...03:31
PaliSo now RE coldflashing is done :-)03:32

*** mitsutaka has joined #maemo03:34

*** javispedro has quit IRC03:34
luke-jrPali: are you interested in patch to add highpass filter (so speakers don't blow up)?03:35

Palishit, that magic bits are really crc32....03:57
merlin1991lulz03:57
Palifirst crc32 checksum is for image data03:57
SpeedEvil:)03:58
Paliand second for: 4byte header, 4byte size, 4byte first checksum03:58
Paliwhy nokia added checksum for 12byt message??03:59
*** jiero has quit IRC04:00
merlin1991in order the be really really sure?04:00
troulouliou_devhi i have reinstalled my n900 with a custom rom and need to reistall all my apps , i can not find the name of the apps that allow to choose between cam or flashlight when opening the cam lid04:00
Pali16bytes init message it: 4bytes header, 4bytes image size, 4bytes crc32 of image, 4bytes crc32 of first 12 bytes04:00
merlin1991"custom rom" ? sounds evil04:00
troulouliou_devmerlin1991 bah it is just a backup with some app and shortcut added04:01
merlin1991troulouliou_dev: I belive the name is Camera Lens Launcher04:01
merlin1991package name cl-launcher04:01
troulouliou_devmerlin1991 ok checing now thanks04:02
troulouliou_devmerlin1991 and what is the name of the app that allow to manage the way the N900 connect to internet04:03
troulouliou_devdisabling 3g / bluetooth / wifi ....04:03
merlin1991err that descitpion is wayyyy to amibigous04:03
troulouliou_devit is a menu  located in settings04:03
troulouliou_devthat allwo to configure all the conection like bluetooth / wifi / 3 g ...04:04
troulouliou_devi installed it and used it for years but know can not find it again04:04
merlin1991sorry, don't know that one04:04
troulouliou_devok np :)04:05
troulouliou_devbtw this is the rom i have installed http://pwnieexpress.com/04:05
merlin1991rofl04:06
merlin1991you do realize you can do all that without installing the "custom rom" from that err suspicous page?04:06
SpeedEviltroulouliou_dev: flashlight-extra04:06
troulouliou_devmerlin1991 yes sure to be honest i just wanted to know how they manage to shrink the font size in the shell for some apps :)04:07
troulouliou_devsome ncursed base apps04:07
merlin1991I guess the have the binary send something to xterm04:08
merlin1991you can adjust the font size yourself with the zoom keys04:08
merlin1991SpeedEvil: I've been looking for that one but couldn't find it the right keywords :D04:08
troulouliou_devmerlin1991yes but it is stick at a size of 24 or less i think then it display already at minimum font size04:09
troulouliou_devint this rom they have added size of 6 and 804:09
merlin1991just haxx0r it into xterm04:09
merlin1991:D04:09
merlin1991I wonder how they can provide a full image of meamo5 + stuff without violating nokia copyright on the closed source parts04:10

Technomikehey guys got a little urgent problem here i need help with. when i go to download or save files on my n900, it shows the message 'Not Allowed' . i think its a problem with the file system or something because i was unraring an archive on my n900 earlier and it froze so i had to remove the battery. Its definetly something to do with that because it was fine beforehand.07:48
Technomikewould really appreciate any help at all07:49
dm8tbrwhat does 'df' tell you? which filesystem is full?07:50
merlin1991also what does mount tell you?07:51
merlin1991especially the MyDocs part?07:51
merlin1991Technomike: ^^07:51
*** lukasz_gut__ has quit IRC07:51
merlin1991MyDocs should be the line /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /home/user/MyDocs type vfat (rw,...07:52
merlin1991the rw part is important07:52
dm8tbrmy current best bet would be: FAT is corrupted and mounted RO07:52
merlin1991yeah that's what where I was going with this :D07:52
*** Trcx has joined #maemo08:00
Technomike/dev/mmcblk0p1        28312128  27962944    349184  99% /home/user/MyDocs08:02
merlin1991woha nice usage08:03
merlin1991that might be the reason :D08:03
Technomikesorry guys I am fairly noobish to be honest08:03
Technomikehaha well how can i find out if it is read only because that is what seems to be the case08:04
merlin1991Technomike: check "mount" in x-term08:04
Technomike/dev/mmcblk0p1 on /home/user/MyDocs type vfat (rw,noauto,nodev,noexec,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,utf8,uid=29999,shortname=mixed,dmask=000,fmask=0133,rodir)08:04
merlin1991that's read write08:04
merlin1991but from your df output it seems to be almost full08:04
merlin1991maybe remove one or two videos and try again ;)08:05
Technomikewell i just checked the disc usage in file manager and 341mb are free08:06
merlin1991you can run df -h for mor readable solution08:06
merlin1991and you should have no permission issue with MyDocs at least since it's mounted with uid=29999 which makes all access to it count as user08:07
merlin1991Technomike: can you run "touch /home/user/MyDocs/awesometesetfile" ?08:08
Technomikeaha just tried to delete a file in the file manager and it said drive is read only08:09
merlin1991that IS odd08:10
merlin1991according to your mount it is still rw08:10
* merlin1991 suggests a reboot08:10
merlin1991if that does not work, save all data and only the fsck the partition08:10
merlin1991fsck on maemo is a synonyme for fuck up ;)08:11
Technomiketouch: /home/user/MyDocs/awesometesetfile: Read-only file system08:11
dm8tbrmerlin1991: mount will not show if kernel remounted 'ro' for broken fs08:11
merlin1991dm8tbr: silly, but I didn't know it08:11
Technomikei have rebooted a few times08:11
dm8tbrTechnomike: attach to PC, do filesystem check08:12
Technomikeah so basically i have gone and corrupted the fs then....08:12
dm8tbryes08:12
Technomikedamn08:12
Technomikei have no access to a pc at the moment08:12
merlin1991well then I suggest back up your data, using pc, and after that run fs test08:12
merlin1991on the other hand if you don't need your data, then you can unmount MyDocs and run the fs check on the device08:13
merlin1991risking complete dataloss08:13
Technomikehmm just tried an sd card and even that is saying its read only but its definetly rw because its been in my phone08:13
merlin1991does dmesg reveal anything weird?08:14
Technomike 2684.582214] mmc0: cover is closed, card is now accessible08:15
Technomike 2685.034179] mmc0: host does not support reading read-only switch. assuming write-enable.08:15
merlin1991so far promising08:16
villagermerlin1991: in case you want to know, "cat /proc/mounts" would say what the kernel's view of the mount points are...08:22
* merlin1991 wonders why "mount" reports something else08:22
villagermerlin1991: mount/umount records what they've mounted and unmounted into the file /etc/mtab, and the kernel doesn't update that file on its own08:23
merlin1991one could call the man page for mount missleading then08:25
villagermerlin1991: it's possible to symlink /etc/mtab to /proc/mounts (I think some distros do it), but I think that has its own problems, probably with chroots and whatnot08:25
merlin1991... lists all mounted filesystems ... sounds like the current systemstate to me when I read it08:25
*** slonopotamus has quit IRC08:26
*** sat20501 has joined #maemo08:28
villagermerlin1991: well, in general it's true, the bootup scripts initializes mtab and all future mounting/unmount happens with mount/umount so it would update mtab, the kernel certainly doesn't do any trickery beyond error recovery08:28

villagermerlin1991: in some cases such as chroots, though, you probably really do want an independent list of mounted filesystems instead of the kernel one08:29
Technomikeis there a command that i could at least try to make it read-write08:30
villagermerlin1991: also /proc/mounts is a Linuxism, other Unix-type OSes only track stuff through /etc/mtab without providing any other straightforward way to get at the data08:31
villagerTechnomike: the MyDocs or the SD?08:32
TechnomikeMyDocs emmc08:33
dm8tbrfsck, but that can lead to data loss08:33
villagerTechnomike: if it's not already rw, it's probably not going to work... but yes, there's a command, something like "mount /home/user/MyDocs -o remount,rw" (as root)08:34
Technomikehmmm just put the sd card back in phone and deleted a file and it works fine... so its read write08:35

villageryeah there's definitely been some corruption then08:50
Technomikewhat would you do? try this or just use pc to backup and reformat08:51
Technomike?08:51
villagerany choice is risky and may lose data, but I'd probably choose fat number 1, as it's probably the one that's written first?08:51
villagerand therefore most up to date?08:52
villagerwell, even if you tried to backup, the pc would have to read one of the FATs in order to do that backup, and it'd probably use FAT 1, so can't make things much worse to tell fsck to use it08:54

jazedalgpg-agent works when you launch a sub-shell (e.g. gpg-agent --daemon /bin/bash), but it otherwise errs.  For example, with the command line, "gpg -d secret.txt.gpg", it outputs, "gpg: problem with the agent - disabling agent use", and with the command line, "gpg-agent", it outputs "gpg-agent: can't connect to the agent: IPC connect call failed". Has anyone else had this issue?13:49

*** florian has quit IRC21:10
ShadowJKSome people report their usb data cable still charges their N900s when that happens. Might just be because it applies pressure slightly differently21:10
ShadowJKbut I'd be nervous to try, since if it's unused it'll be alot tighter and probably dislodge the port completely21:10
Jef91yea if I angle it right it appears to charge21:11
ShadowJKso it's loose21:11

niwakamesomeone experienced discharging at N900 while switched off?22:10
DocScrutinizermay happen22:10
DocScrutinizernot all subsystems of N900 are force-shutdown22:10
niwakamehave to remove the battery then next time22:11
*** perlite has quit IRC22:11
DocScrutinizersome contact directly to battery and have no direct /SHUTDOWN pin22:11
*** perlite_ is now known as perlite22:11
DocScrutinizerxso if your device didn't shut down "normally" (but rather crashed to off or sth, hard shutdown by 8s powerbutton hold), you might find some subsystems still eating power22:12
niwakameI just shut it down by power button22:13
DocScrutinizeralso the main (APE) system as well can enter a state where device *seems* to be off but actually isn't. Frequently seen on stall reboots22:13
niwakameI removed the battery for extracting the SIM card and put it back in :/22:14
DocScrutinizerNB in that regard plugged-in charger makes device *always* reboot22:14
DocScrutinizer:nod:22:14
DocScrutinizerinserting battery sometimes can cause this22:15
niwakameWould be interesting if that happens too when connecting USB, but other end is not connected to charger / PC22:15
DocScrutinizeryou should always boot up the device after inserting battery, then shut it down if that's what you want22:15
niwakameOk, I will do that next time :) thanks22:15
DocScrutinizerniwakame: no, there's simply no way the device could detect a open-ended cable in USB22:16
niwakameSo it was really taken down by my N9...somehow22:16
niwakame:P22:16
*** penguinbait has quit IRC22:16
DocScrutinizerniwakame: when inserting battery, all the subsystems that are directly powered by battery may enter an undefined state22:17
DocScrutinizere.g whole modem22:17
DocScrutinizeron booting up APE all those subsystems will see proper initialization, and will usually behave on next shutdown22:18
niwakamestrange22:19
DocScrutinizernormal22:19
niwakamein design terms22:19
*** zk8 has joined #maemo22:19
niwakameLike the "You can't charge the device when it's not charged" because the charging is managed by CPU / some other part that needs juice inside22:20
DocScrutinizernah, it's simply like there's no urgent need to have a 100% safe and rock solid POR circuitry on all subsystems22:20
DocScrutinizerniwakame: that's BS22:20
DocScrutinizer~flatbatrecover22:21
infobotRemove battery for 1 minute. Insert battery. Plug powered Nokia wallcharger to device. Watch steady amber. Let sit and charge. Do NOT try to boot. After 30 min, you got either a) a booted up N900, b) flashing amber which means you can boot, c) steady amber going off - in this case start over again with ~flatbatrecover22:21
niwakameNever experienced myself, just seeing ppl complaining at the forum22:21
niwakameBut good to know22:21
DocScrutinizeremphasis on "Nokia wallwart fastcharger"22:22
*** roundyz has joined #maemo22:22
DocScrutinizerit actually won't charge from PC USB host, as for USB ENUM *obviously* the CPU and system needs to be up and running22:22
*** tackat has joined #maemo22:23
DocScrutinizer(well, you might be lucky and it _does_ charge form PC nevertheless, but it's neither guaranteed nor officially supported)22:23
DocScrutinizerbut flatbatrecover emergency charging with the steady amber is a mere hw thing, that can't usually fail22:24
niwakameok22:25
DocScrutinizerdoom starts when the system kicks in after emergency charging did it's job. Then if you got a rootfs that's borked then you can't get charging to continue as booting to system stops emergency charging hw and switches to "sw-controlled charging"22:26
DocScrutinizerits job*22:27
DocScrutinizerand the BAD[TM] thing is that flashing a clean rootfs will fail at battery levels you could reach by hw driven emergency charging, so THAT is the well known flat battery boot loop, a vicious circle that is the reason for "WARNING!! charge your battery completely before any flashing"22:29
