DocScrutinizer05kerio: aiui missing is the signalling from USM ENUM power negotiation to charger max current, anf the replacement for hald-addon-bme00:29
DocScrutinizer05USB*00:29
*** brzys has joined #maemo00:29
keriothe what?00:29
DocScrutinizer05hmm?00:30
kerio"It also detect USB/host charger and dedicated/wallcharger, so working without user interaction."00:30
kerio-- Pali, http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pali/projects/maemo/bq2415x.html00:30
DocScrutinizer05dunno00:30
keriohell, you can even force a particular mode in addition to going with auto mode00:30
DocScrutinizer05hell, *I* specified that00:31
kerioso what's the missing signalling?00:31
*** jhb has quit IRC00:31
DocScrutinizer05I'm not sure if pali implemented anything regardin that, but when you plug your N900 to a PC via USB hub, the hub will tell (actually PC will) "N900, you can draw max 300mA, as PC delivers 500 and I need 100 and there's a kbd as well that needs another 100)00:33
DocScrutinizer05"00:33
DocScrutinizer05this is happening deep in USB drivers, and I dunno how tightly pali coupled that to charger chip00:33
kerioso would setting the n900 to charger mode make it such as much power as it can?00:34
DocScrutinizer05I'd hope not too tight since it's a complex theme with lots of niche cases that work slightly different to usual case00:34
kerio*suck00:34
kerioit sounds dangerous00:35
kerio(for the host and the rest of the devices)00:35
*** eijk has quit IRC00:35
DocScrutinizer05it *might* result in N900 suck 500mA unconditionally, and that *might* cause some PC to blow chunks, usually under windows and sw side, but occasionally even hw side00:35
*** kama has quit IRC00:36
keriothe sheevaplug comes to mind, actually00:36
kerioits power supply can barely sustain 500mA plus the rest of the system00:36
kerioplugging in "bad" usb devices can and will cause the PSU to blow up00:36
kerio(ish)00:36
keriowell, not really, but it'll stress it00:36
*** dos1 has quit IRC00:37
*** dos1 has joined #maemo00:37
DocScrutinizer05what's much more lacking in daily usage though is the hald-addon-bme and libbmeipc.so that allows hal to display meaningful status of charger etc00:37
DocScrutinizer05and in the end takes care to shut down system gracefully instead of simply pulling the plug when battery is completely on its knees00:38
kerioso... the battery icon?00:38
*** norayr has joined #maemo00:38
keriooh right, there's also the graceful shutdown00:38
*** norayr is now known as noch00:39
DocScrutinizer05I *think* there should be a better way not involving HAL and the bq24140/bq27x00 and bluetooth and whatnot, since iirc the twl4030 has two thresholds, one for graceful and one for ultimate shutdown. Alas iirc this isn't used00:41
*** jhb has joined #maemo00:41
DocScrutinizer05for sure you'll get no battery icon and no bat-low warnings without hald-addon-bme00:42
DocScrutinizer05and 80% of the crappy acme-battery-monitors out there will cease to work00:43
*** dhbiker has quit IRC00:43
keriohm, what's the twl?00:45
kerioas opposed to bq00:45
vi__apparently pali has no taste for dill sauce.00:47
vi__I wish FMG would keep a blog like that.00:47
SpeedEviltwl is the TI companion chip that does power managment, USB PHY (in some cases, not the n900, and some other stuff00:48
vi__It would be majorly beneficial when he comes to try and find work post uni.00:48
kerioi see00:48
kerioisn't that what BME uses?00:49

* DocScrutinizer05 decides against it01:52
DocScrutinizer05kerio: no01:52
chem|stbetter explain to me how to get the libs in the right place for building armel targets01:52
DocScrutinizer05ouch, noob here01:52
DocScrutinizer05yawning noob01:53
chem|stusually $PATH has it01:53
DocScrutinizer05libraries? hardly01:53
chem|stbut no it is looking somewhere in the target compiler directory01:53
chem|stwell a package having -dev at the end should have postinstall script looking if it is running from device or sdk and place the libs at the right place, no?01:54
DocScrutinizer05libraries are "fun" stuff01:55
chem|stalways01:55
chem|sthad a symlink loop a while ago01:55
DocScrutinizerhttp://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html01:56
DocScrutinizer05pretty decent info01:57
chem|stapp-management should change to something like there is a base system all can use, special stuff needs to be packed with the program01:57
DocScrutinizer05you're free to do that01:57

GeneralAntillesI did. For today.04:20
SpeedEvilme04:20
GeneralAntillesIt made me realize exactly how shitty the Harmattan browser is.04:21
SpeedEvilI just moved my main 'landline' onto it.04:21
louis__@GeneralAntilles Well. The default browser in N900 is pretty slow.04:22
*** stardiviner has joined #maemo04:22
GeneralAntillesDespite that it actually works.04:22
GeneralAntillesI can actually visit websites and browse them.04:22
SpeedEviland click on small links04:22

louis__@GeneralAntilles What websites? N9's browser works fine for me.04:23

louis__RST38h: Opera doesn't integrate nicely niether into Maemo or MeeGo.04:25

louis__jpinx: Nice04:34
*** lofty306 has joined #maemo04:34
jpinxlouis__: the browser sux - depending on the specific site (how scripty/flashy it is) but that's life ;)04:35
louis__I feel like there're more community apps and open source apps in development for the N900, than the N9.04:35
jpinxlouis__: there almost certainly is,but a lot of it is too technical for me04:37
*** Openfree` has joined #maemo04:37
louis__jpix: Have you tried some browser under development for N900 like the midori browser? :)04:38
jpinxI tried midori a while back - it's worse than the standard04:39
louis__jpix: Loading website or the interface?04:40
jpinxlouis__: if you want to be fancy, install a chroot, install debian with really basic X and install swiftfox (stripped down firefox)04:40
louis__I've tried Chromium in Easy Debian ;)04:41
* jpinx is allergic to google04:41
jpinxI have every script/cookie/flash blocker known to man installed ;)  speeds thing up  a lot04:42
* louis__ does only use Google for searching.04:42
jpinxlouis__: use duckduck04:42
louis__jpinx: It's based on Bing right?04:43
jpinxno04:43
*** beford has quit IRC04:43
jpinxgo and research it ;)04:43
louis__Right okay ;)04:45
GeneralAntillesSpeedEvil, I was thinking about it, too.04:46
GeneralAntillesI have a fascination with 7" tablets even though I have no use for them in my life.04:46
SpeedEvilGeneralAntilles: I was considering an upgrade of my Wopad i7 tablet to one with 1G of RAM - and it was either a no-name chinese one for $150ish, or one with a _much_ faster processor, bluetooth, high res screen, ... for $19904:47
GeneralAntillesYeah, it looks nice04:48
GeneralAntillesSupposedly being sold around cost.04:48
SpeedEvilIt's actually almost exactly the same measurements as my existing tablet04:48
SpeedEvilto a couple of mm04:48
ShadowJKnexus7 pricing is weird. Can understand in us gooogle is hoping on google play content, but in UK nexus7 wont get all that, yet comes with same peanuts price.. and in eu the google play situatuin is presumably similar to UK, yet price is double..04:50
SpeedEvilI dunno.04:51
SpeedEvilI recently bought a book on google play.04:51
SpeedEvilAdmittedly - more would  be good.04:51
* ShadowJK is considering an Asus TF700 with keyboard dock..04:51
GeneralAntillesGoogle's got so much cash04:52
GeneralAntillesSpreading Android is probably more important than making bucks on commodity hardware.04:52
ShadowJKavailability is shitty though.04:52
ShadowJKAnd also I keep thinking it'd be infinitely more useful with a proper os :)04:52
SpeedEvil""04:52
*** beford has joined #maemo04:53
GeneralAntillesShadowJK, yeah, well, when there's a proper mobile OS available. . . .04:53
ShadowJKGeneralAntilles; well it's essentially a laptop but with android04:53
GeneralAntillesOh, the TF700?04:53
* ShadowJK wonders if he can buy from google play uk store, and if not, if that would violate eu single markets directives :)04:54
ShadowJKGeneralAntilles; yes04:54
GeneralAntillesloleu04:55
SpeedEvilamazon store is US only - for android04:55
jpinxShadowJK: needs a remote shell ;)04:57
SpeedEvilI want the next tablet I buy to have pop-out quadcopter blades.04:58
SpeedEvilSo I can't drop it.04:58
GeneralAntillesMagic04:58
SpeedEvilIt does not have to be made out of a cat.04:59
SpeedEvilThough I'd pay extra.04:59
GeneralAntillesMight be smelly04:59
* jpinx gives SpeedEvil a mini-parachute04:59
jpinxSpeedEvil: fwiw - I saw heavy duty silicon cases for various phones and tablets in the market - and the guy demonstrating their "bouncy-ness" ;)05:01

louis__The USB port broke on my N900 :/05:19
jpinxlouis__: there is reams about fixing that on the web05:20
jpinxSpeedEvil: fwiw - I use my n900 standing on buses etc and I use a wrist-strap -- both to prevent it clattering on the floor and to deter snatchers ;)05:21
jpinxit also means I can let go deliberately to find money for tickets etc and not worry05:22
* jpinx 's only real gripe with the n900 is the high battery use05:23
*** nox- has quit IRC05:23
louis__jpinx: Seems like you have to be every good with a soldering iron: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=693493&postcount=1205:27
jpinxlouis__: reasonable - and use a very fine pointed soldering iron05:28
jpinxlouis__: you can do the same trick with araldite or similar, but be very careful to not be messy ;)05:28
louis__jpinx: Too bad it's hard to just buy a N900 motherboard w/ all things attached except cover.05:29
jpinxlouis__: I buy any "broken" n900's I find if they are cheap - just for the parts05:29
jpinxsome only need cleaned and reflashed ;)05:30
louis__jpinx: It's hard to find broken N900's on ebay.05:31
* jpinx is not in USA05:31
* louis__ is not in USA either.05:33
louis__I live in Denmark, Europe so I find parts from either germany or UK,05:33

louis__And 1x N9 with stock power button!05:45
* louis__ should be hired as crash tester for Nokia/Jolla.05:46
jpinxlouis__: sounds like you have easily got the makings of at least 2 n900's ;)05:49

*** lofty306 has left #maemo05:57
*** utanapischti has joined #maemo05:58

jpinxlouis__: yea - battery life is a big issue - I have a little 2xAA charger, but even that will not top up enough for 24 hours use06:35
ShadowJKWith stock kernel, some of those 2xaa things can actually end up drawing more power on the device than they contribute06:35
jpinxlouis__: and the more fancy software you run - the more battery it munches06:35
jpinxShadowJK: yea - you have to be careful ;)06:36
*** jhb1 has joined #maemo06:36
ShadowJKBecause with stock kernel there's extra 80-100mA power draw whenever anything at all is connected to usb port06:36
cehtehanyone still uses the stock kernel? :)06:37
ShadowJKwith powerkernel this doesn't happen if you connect chargers06:37
jpinxlouis__: I run my n900 with minimal screen lighting, shortest time off, etc, but the real issue is gprs/wifi -- it totally gobbles battery06:37
cehtehwith some tweaks and power kernel one can get okish runtimes06:38
ShadowJKgprs and wifi are pretty low consumption for me, on my main device on which I run xchat and many many channels, I'd get about 20 hours or more of standby06:39
cehtehof course, more would be better06:39
cehtehwifi takes a lot when listening to webradio06:39

cehtehcycling trough the black forrest is already bad enough :P06:41
ShadowJKThe forrest here has rather good coverage on gsm06:41
jpinxcehteh: yea - I often switch to ofline mode when travelling06:41
jpinxfwiw the mains charger can often not keep up with consumption06:42
ShadowJKThat's really exceptional in my experience06:42
ShadowJKAt that rate the N900 should be getting quite warm too06:42
jpinxit does ;)06:43
ShadowJKThat must be atrociously bad coverage :)06:43
ShadowJKOr IM/IRC on 3g06:43
jpinxit is ;)06:43
jpinx2.5G with very patchy coverage even when standing still06:44
ShadowJKWell it's like, one bar from full doubles power consumption, approx :)06:44
ShadowJKin my experience06:44
jpinx2 bars showing atm,,,,,06:44

eddybmeh...08:27
eddybkerio: wait, chrom{e,ium} doesn't have a single line of Java in it08:27
kerioi really hope it's completely native code08:28
eddybthe version for android either has a platform-specific layer (maybe Java) or it just uses X08:28
eddyb(and any other generic linux stuff)08:28
eddybthe problem with Google Play is that you need attached devices08:29
eddybCURRENT VERSION: 18.0.1025123 << and it's also old08:30
eddybhttps://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/devices/chromebox.html lol, google is trying everything08:33
keriooh god, it's a mac mini with a crappier OS08:34
eddybI wouldn't say crappier OS, but rather "crazy architecture"08:35
eddybthey took linux, put chrome on top of it, and written all the apps in HTML508:36
kerioi would say crappier OS08:40

keriowell, everything that requires superuser, maybe16:11

DocScrutinizer05yeah, esp regarding busybox su16:21
kerioit's just that it's not a good idea for the n90016:21

DocScrutinizer05HAHAHA16:24
keriono, seriously :(16:25
DocScrutinizer05sure, it's hard enough to make sure and validate code for small binaries with suid, so there are no exploits16:25

vi_Instead of just hosting random .deb files on his blog.16:33
DocScrutinizer05I tend to agree with you, but only in general16:34
keriovi_: yeah but KP51 includes the backported drivers, and it conflicts with the package that cleven depends on16:34
DocScrutinizer05since KP been stuck in promotion to testing for so long, everybody got used to KP living in devel16:35
*** penguinbait has joined #maemo16:35
*** penguinbait has joined #maemo16:35
kerioso it was either a bad dpkg situation, or no cleven16:36

kerioso i don't really see why Pali made it so16:54
*** lxp has joined #maemo16:54
keriounless the modules depended on a particular KP version16:54
kerioin which case... \_o_/16:54
Palikerio, each kernel module is compiled for one kernel version16:55
keriohm, makes sense16:55
Palibut if you do not make a lot of changes in kernel modules from other version will work too16:55
Palibut must be loaded with force option (to ignore version string)16:56
kerioDocScrutinizer05: cleven expects the modules to be in a particular place, which is not the default location (where they *should* be)16:56
kerioperhaps the next linux-backports-modules-power should depend strictly on kp51 and just add the symlinks for the wifi modules16:57
*** lxp1 has quit IRC16:57
kerioand it should be marked deprecated/for backwards compat only16:57
DocScrutinizer05well, the probelm seems to be that cleven comes with kernel modules at all16:58
DocScrutinizer05aiui16:58
kerioit doesn't16:59
kerioit depends on linux-backports-modules-power16:59
keriowhich makes sense16:59
kerioish16:59
keriothe fact that it comes with a script to load said modules is the problem, i suppose16:59
DocScrutinizer05it rather should depend on a kernel property, that is provided by a separate kernelmodule pkg, or by PK51+16:59
DocScrutinizer05oooh, I see, it unloads original modules and modprobes the tweaked ones, only during runtime of cleven?17:01

keriooh hey, Pali made a shellscript for that!17:04
keriohow convenient17:04
DocScrutinizer05Pali: does KP51 ship with both original and tweaked wifi modules? or only with the tweaked ones?17:04
DocScrutinizer05ok, that answers my question I'd guess17:04
kerioDocScrutinizer05: both, the weird ones are blacklisted17:05
kerioPali's shellscript is not shipped with kp51 though17:05
DocScrutinizer05kerio: basically you need a new version of cleven for KP5117:06
kerioyeah17:06
keriobut how do we make it so that we don't necessarily need a new version of cleven for new versions of KP?17:06
keriofrom cleven's next version onwards, i mean17:06
DocScrutinizer05well, I think KP52 will ship with same script of pali as this one (doesn't yet)17:06
kerioyeah, so Pali should step forward and say "ok, this is how you load/unload the injection drivers"17:07
DocScrutinizer05so the "API'" should stay stable17:07
DocScrutinizer05yep17:07
kerioif eventually we decide injection doesn't need loading anymore, just make those noops for two or three KP versions, marked deprecated, and then remove the script, i s'pose17:07
DocScrutinizer05and cleven needs fix to use that method17:08
kerioyep17:08
kerioi'm still not sure why we can't use the cool drivers for everything, though :(17:08
DocScrutinizer05lxp said they might miss bugfixes17:08
keriohm :(17:09
kerioare the stock modules closed-source?17:09
kerioi mean, the proper nokia ones17:10
DocScrutinizer05I'd just be a brave user and make a noop of the unloading script, and test the tweaked wifi drivers for 'normal' use several weeks. after some users done that, we might consider them "stable" enough for replacing the original ones17:11

*** fisubar has quit IRC17:16
DocScrutinizer05the problem is the wifi chip firmware doesn't support proper low power / shutdown mode17:17
DocScrutinizer05iirc17:18
Paliswicthing is done via rmmod & insmod /full/path17:18
DocScrutinizer05so the chip is always in scan mode17:18
Palimaybe some iwconfig/iw command can fix it?17:19
DocScrutinizer05some time back during pr1.1 or so we had a botch for this problem by unloading the drivers for the time ICD2 didn't scan for AP17:19
DocScrutinizer05(iw coomand) possible, or even rfkill17:20
DocScrutinizer05but I actually think Nokia implemented a patch to the wlan drivers to cope with that17:21

DocScrutinizer05n97 is not same platform as n90019:15
DocScrutinizer05n900 has no USB charging problems, not really19:15
DocScrutinizer05n900 has *flashing* problems when battery low19:16
DocScrutinizer05and n900 (like basically any arbitrary other device) won't charge (properly) with messed up software/firmware19:16
*** luke-jr has quit IRC19:18
DocScrutinizer05so you can find yourself in a deadlock beween device not charging low battery due to messed firmware, and device not flashing proper firmware due to low battery19:18
edheldilis there a way from the deadlock?19:19
DocScrutinizer05other than that, no charging problems known with N90019:19
DocScrutinizer05yes, edheldil. get a charged battery ;-D19:19

kerioDocScrutinizer05: well, isn't the emergency charging supposed to fix that problem?19:33
kerio~ish19:33
kerionononono19:33
kerioinfobot: don't you dare19:33
DocScrutinizer05no19:33
DocScrutinizer05emergency charging charges up to 3.7V only, for safety reasons19:34
kerioisn't that high enough to flash?19:34
keriolet's say everything is completely messed up19:34
kerioisn't that high enough to coldflash?19:34
DocScrutinizer05after that the main system is supposed to come up and support charging, if only by telling the charger "no go on, til 4.2"19:34
DocScrutinizer05now*19:35
DocScrutinizer05alas, according to Nokia's eternal wisdom, that's enough for starting NOLO but not enough to allow NOLO to enter flashing mode19:35
keriohahaha nice19:35
kerioi thought coldflashing was less finicky19:36
DocScrutinizer05you can tell by "NOKIA" screen not showing USB icon upper right despite you holding "u"19:36
DocScrutinizer05well, coldflashing means "ROMBL loads NOLO to RAM" it does that unconditionally. NFC what the NOLO in RAM will do then19:37
keriohm19:38
*** loganbr has joined #maemo19:38
DocScrutinizer05My guess though would be: it acts exactly as screwed as the NAND-based NOLO19:38
kerioso you *can* completely bork it19:38
kerioi see19:38
DocScrutinizer05screwed here means: when NOLO detects battery is low, it doesn't allow flashing and rather tries to boot to linux, to start proper charging  :o)19:39
keriois NOLO flashable?19:40
DocScrutinizer05trying to charge when battery is critically low for flashing is a sane idea... if only NOLO wouldn't rely on linux/rootfs for charging19:40
DocScrutinizer05sure is NOLO flashable. That's what coldflashing is all about19:41
*** M4rtinK has quit IRC19:41
*** flux has quit IRC19:41
DocScrutinizer05but alas NOLO is closed source, so we couldn't fix this annoyance, even if we wanted to19:41
kerioisn't flashing like, *really* fast?19:42
DocScrutinizer05eh?19:42
kerioi mean, how much battery do you actually need for it?19:42
kerioflashing combined+vanilla never took long, here19:42
DocScrutinizer05not that much indeed19:42
*** eMHa__ has quit IRC19:42

kerioaww, i'm so proud :')19:43
DocScrutinizer05:-P19:43
keriois the NOLO closedness enforced?19:43
kerioor it's just that nobody wants to dick around with it because you risk a brick?19:43
DocScrutinizer05ask Nokia19:44
kerioi mean, *could* you flash something else there?19:45
DocScrutinizer05yes, you could19:45
DocScrutinizer05actually people did19:45

*** xev has quit IRC19:46
*** xev_ has joined #maemo19:46
keriohehe, i want someone to write a NOLO replacement called YOLO19:46
DocScrutinizer05I'm not eager to hexedit a charger routine into NOLO binary19:46
keriojust to piss people off19:47
kerioDocScrutinizer05: is there a way to flash NOLO that doesn't involve running it?19:47
DocScrutinizer05errr wut?19:48
keriosay, a way to unbrick a botched NOLO19:48
DocScrutinizer05==coldflashing19:48
kerioyou just said that it runs NOLO19:48
kerioafter loading it in ram19:48
DocScrutinizer05it loads a secondary NOLO from USB to RAM, to flash the primary NOLO to NAND19:48
keriooic19:49
kerioeasy, then :319:49
DocScrutinizer05since yu see you need coldflashing to recover borked NOLO only, you can also see how rarely anybody ruined his NOLO19:50
DocScrutinizer05and usually the recommendation "try coldflashing" is mere BS19:51
DocScrutinizer05given by fools who don't undertand what coldflashing does19:51
DocScrutinizer05jacekowski and me discussed to load an alternative "charging NOLOfake" to RAM, to recover from flatbat deadlock19:52

DocScrutinizer05rather make a uBoot-image to "coldflash" aka ramload, which comes with a charger script22:21
DocScrutinizer05or tweak NOLO so it loads from mtd4: 00200000 00020000 "initfs" rather than mtd3: 00200000 00020000 "kernel", only fall back to the latter if in mtd4 there's no useful image to loads and start22:24
