DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: look at lsmod on N90001:13
DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: well, maybe that doesn't help01:16
ShadowJKN900's tcp stack is certainly not in the modem ;p01:16
DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: actually I never looked into it myself, I just heard at least lower half of tcp/ip stack is inside modem for GPRS01:16
DocScrutinizer05and then there's GPRS data stack under any TCP layer01:17
DocScrutinizer05I don't think you could fake MAC of a modem01:18
DocScrutinizer05I'm also quite sure there's no broadcast as we know it, and no promiscuous mode ;-P01:19
ShadowJKI don't know what this "lower half" is, but you can even generate the IP level stuff yourself, which I think qualifies as entire tcp/ip stack in linux01:19
ShadowJKThose things are ethernet things, not tcp/ip01:19
ShadowJKand we're not running ethernet here :P01:19
DocScrutinizer05obviously01:19
DocScrutinizer05actually we're running PPPoE iirc01:20
ShadowJKno01:20
DocScrutinizer05might be true (or not) only for UMTS01:21
ShadowJKpnatd emulated a dialup modem though, pnatd is what you get over the bluetooth dun channel01:21
ShadowJKemulates*01:21
*** lbt_away is now known as lbt01:21
DocScrutinizer05I know what pnatd is01:21
ShadowJKThere a usb gprs/umts/hspa modems that emulate ethernet too, like n900 can do on usb01:22
*** rm_work has quit IRC01:22
ShadowJKthe ethernet level stuff is just for talking with the modem though01:22
DocScrutinizer05probably the easiest way to eliminate all misconceptions was to start wireshark on isi01:23
*** lxp1 has quit IRC01:24
DocScrutinizer05iirc it shows nicely dissected data packages, and at least from them I could tell what protocol it's using on that layer01:24
ShadowJKI think that'd look like ip inside isi inside phonet01:25
*** muelli has joined #maemo01:25
DocScrutinizer05for all I know GPRS has an own connection management plus ACK/NACK01:25
ShadowJKit does01:26
ShadowJKbut modem hides it01:26
DocScrutinizer05that's where I basically came from01:26
DocScrutinizer05dunno what exactly a stack the bb5 is running, but it got fecked up on my 2G only, while 3G still worked01:27
ShadowJKLike you could maybe see the phonet/isi that's used between modem and omap, but then modem takes the IP and puts it inside gprs01:27
ShadowJKMine often gets stuck on 3g now. Around the time it started happening operator called trying to send me more 3g saying 3g had been improved recently in my area01:28
ShadowJKI'm guessing "improved" means they told all phones to try a little bit too hard to maintain the 3g icon :P01:29
* DocScrutinizer05 wonders how C1/C2 criteria analoga for handover from 3G to 2G are implemented01:30
DocScrutinizer05tbh I got no friggin clue about UMTS01:31
DocScrutinizer05only about GSM01:31
DocScrutinizer05maybe even more interesting: how's the handover from 2G to 3G defined, since that has to be an addendum01:32
DocScrutinizer05amendment, augmentment?01:33
DocScrutinizer05I'm rather sure they hadn't anything for that in original GSM specs01:34
DocScrutinizer05though, they must have something for genuine roaming01:34
*** mvp_ has quit IRC01:35
DocScrutinizer05maybe roaming to 3G is not that different01:35
ShadowJKsome phones show separate listing for 2g and 3g when you do network search01:37

freemangordonvi_: compcache won't make it :(. No matter what I do, compression/decompression eats all of the cpu. Or I am too stupid and can't think of a better algo10:28
*** mvp_ has joined #maemo10:28

freemangordonnew pages go to compressed pool and to a queue to be written10:29
freemangordononce the queue has 256 pages I write it (async)10:29
freemangordononce there is less than one free page in allowed memory, I release 16 oldest pages from compressed pool10:30

freemangordonvi_: red the backscroll10:41
freemangordon*read10:41
vi_freemangordon: heh. Thats cool.10:41
vi_Yeah, I read it.10:41
freemangordonno, it is not10:41
vi_lame10:41
freemangordon:(10:41
freemangordonseems that the problem with comcache and n900 is that CPU is too weak, not the amount of RAM10:42
freemangordonor both10:42
vi_I thought it worked nicely on n8x0.10:42
vi_freemangordon: check your msg.10:42
*** FReaper has quit IRC10:43
*** FReaper has joined #maemo10:43
jaskadunno if a lesser compression algo like snappy or lz4 would do anything?10:44
freemangordonjaska: it uses lzo1 aiui10:46
freemangordonwhich is supposed to be fast10:46
vi_what about GPU acceleration?10:46
jaskayeah lzo1 is pretty near to lz410:46
vi_someone must have implemented some kind of compression algo that exploits the features of a GPU.10:47
freemangordonnaah, the problem is that compressed pool starts to trash once full10:47
freemangordonand I just can't think of how to avoid that10:47
freemangordonanyway, on my way to work, bbl10:48
vi_bb10:48
*** FReaper has quit IRC10:49
ShadowJKfreemangordon; well, what compression is it doing? lzop -1 like?10:49
*** FReaper has joined #maemo10:49
ShadowJKfreemangordon; is it actually burning cpu on compression, or does it possibly get stuck up releasing/allocating+compr once write throughput is less than swapout demand?10:51
* ShadowJK reads all the way to bottom and spots freemangordon has the same hunch, trashing10:52

*** valdyn has quit IRC11:13

ShadowJKthe stuff you release from the pool, is it on swap partition too?11:13
freemangordoneither there or in the queue11:13
freemangordonwaiting to be written11:14
freemangordonthough I try to play it smart, i.e. I release those (16) pages from the compressed pool with oldest jiffies11:15
freemangordonans maybe this is one of the probles11:15
ShadowJKI mean so that a read of it doesn't pull it back to compressed pool11:15
freemangordonit does not pull it back11:15
freemangordonit just sits on the flash11:16
ShadowJKso that a read just pulls it into swap cache from flash11:16
freemangordonno11:16
freemangordonreading does not put stuff into te compressed pull11:16
freemangordononly writing11:16
ShadowJK(the normal swap cache)11:17
freemangordonaah, yes11:17
*** FlameReaper has quit IRC11:17
*** FlameReaper has joined #maemo11:17
freemangordonon reading I am doing a normal READ bio if the page is not in compressed pool (or in write queue)11:17
freemangordonso it behaves just like a normal swap11:18
*** pcfe` is now known as pcfe11:18
freemangordonbut I think I have to get rid of the timestamping11:18
freemangordonas finding the oldest pages takes looots of time11:19
*** valdyn has joined #maemo11:19
freemangordonand just free lets say 256 pages from the compressed pool once I am out of memory for compressed pages11:20
freemangordonon a circular basis11:20
freemangordonwill try that when I am back home11:20
freemangordonthough maybe the best I can do is to not compress at all, but just implement what nokia did (for swap) in a better way11:21
ShadowJK256 pages sounds pretty huge11:21
freemangordon1MiB11:22
freemangordonthis is what I use for eraseblock size11:22
freemangordonthough it can be changed of course11:22
*** valerius has quit IRC11:22

freemangordonwell, not exactly lucky, as it was me to propose rpi11:45
jon_yI have a rpi too, but it's sitting in a drawer until I can get some HDMI monitors11:45
* jon_y too lazy to setup bootp11:45
*** FReaper has joined #maemo11:45
freemangordonnaah, no monitors, no network, just GPIO and kernel/libc on a bare metal11:45
deepyfreemangordon: could still be someone else who gets to do it11:46
jon_yhow does the rpi boot up anyway? it's own uboot?11:46
freemangordondeepy: no11:46
deepyAlright let me rephrase then11:46
deepyYou could be working in a callcenter11:46
freemangordonafter all I am the principal SW engineer here :D11:46
jon_ycallcenter now run by rpis11:47
jon_yscript reading can fit in 256MB ram :)11:47
freemangordondeepy: seems I missed your point11:47
deepyLucky as in, you get to do fun stuff!11:48
freemangordonhopefully11:48
jon_yI'm stuck doing un-OOP java11:48
freemangordonaah, yeah, got it11:48
freemangordonjon_y: JAVA? poor you :(11:48
jon_yas much claim as it has to being OOP, it can be just as much in the opposite way11:49
jon_yby misusing oop11:49
jon_yyeah, you need to check the underlying class type to use the interface, that kind of retard11:49
deepyI knew a guy who was really into C, he liked to call Object-Oriented Programmers for OOPs11:50
*** dhbiker has quit IRC11:50
jon_yjava, like C++ is pretty tame, if used properly11:50
jon_yyeah, I prefer plain C too11:50
deepyI wouldn't know, I suck at C. But I can do Python11:50
jon_yI do perl too, beautiful language if used right11:50

deepyI've seen perl, I don't think you can call it beautiful11:51
deepyweb development!11:51
jon_ydeepy: is it easy to write C extensions for python?11:52
deepyerr, in a way, yes11:52
deepyswig and cython are the best ways I hear11:52
jon_yjava has javah, produce C headers for java classes11:52
deepyBut I heard it's really easy to screw up the C part and then you'll have segfaulting code11:52
jon_yperl has xs11:52
jon_yyep, all of them have the same issue11:53
deepyNever really understood if that was a problem with C, Python, Cython or the programmer11:53
jon_yso, as a C programmer, you have the responsibility11:53
jon_yall the weight and power of it11:53
jon_ywhat does python use to generate stubs?11:53
deepystubs?11:54
jon_yor are you supposed to use the python headers and write from there?11:54
jon_yin java, you could tell it that some methods are supposed to come from the C JNI extensions11:55
deepyI'm not entirely sure, but I think there might be the possibility that Cython or SWIG comes with a tool11:55
jon_yso it generates some stub headers, you use those headers to implement your functions11:55
jon_yI was wondering if python has something like that11:55
jon_yCython or CPython?11:55
deepyCython11:55
jon_ynever heard of Cython11:56
deepyI think SWIG might go the stubs approach11:56

DocScrutinizer05jon_y: is this a general advice, or only applicable for *learning* c?17:19
jon_yDocScrutinizer05: I can't say for other languages17:20
DocScrutinizer05jon_y: tbh I even appreciate syntax highlighting for shellscript in e.g. kate or mcedit17:20
jon_yfor C/C++, it's definitely applicable17:20
jon_ywell, point is, get rid of the IDE doing all the compiler config, syntax highlighting is fine17:21
DocScrutinizer05jon_y: I'm not asking abiut which language, but if this advice is meant for experienced programmers as well17:21
jon_ycall the compiler yourself, write a makefile or a buildscript17:21
jon_yget familiar with the tools that you use17:21
jon_yonce you get the underlying layers, feel free to use an IDE if it improves your performance17:22
jon_ythe important part is laerning what the tools actually do17:22
DocScrutinizer05I think a proper IDE, esp editor with auto-completion, ctags, compile-error feedback to source etc can increase my productivity by factor 2 .. 1017:22
jon_ybefore treating everything as a blackbox17:22
jon_ywell, when starting, be sure to learn about your tools17:22
DocScrutinizer05yep, 100% ACK17:22
jon_yI find it painful to lurk on programming forums or mailing list where newbies keep asking about setting up their favorite IDEs to workaround some compile error that their getting17:23
jon_ythey don't even understand the error in the first place17:24
jon_yor how to fix it17:24
jon_yespeicially linker errors17:24
DocScrutinizer05yep17:25
*** valeriusL has quit IRC17:25
DocScrutinizer05I'm even more radical in that regard, suggesting people start to learn about what's programming by coding in assembler17:25
jon_ythings like learning to use readelf, nm, c++filt can save you a lot of troubles17:25
*** valeriusL has joined #maemo17:25
jon_yyeah, I'm fine with starting with asm :)17:25
* jon_y actually started with C and made his way downwards to the hardware17:26
DocScrutinizer05once you know how the processor works, you appreciate what the compiler can do for you, and you never will abuse it17:26
* jon_y now does java, perl, php, C, C++17:26
jon_yyup, getting the basics right can save you from years of unlearning17:27
*** rm_work has joined #maemo17:27
DocScrutinizer05I've seen C++ programs (texteditor) where each single character been a c++ object17:27

DocScrutinizer05jon_y: check out Qt3 textedit box for richtext. iirc it needs factor 1000 of RAM for opening any size of plain ascii text. Fun bit: on *closing* the textedit box, this even *doubles*17:35
*** thetet has quit IRC17:35
DocScrutinizer05jon_y: I've seen this in twinklephone, on function "show logfile"17:35
DocScrutinizer05maybe it's only been factor 100, but anyway - insane17:36
jon_ydouble??17:36
jon_ycrazy stuff17:37
DocScrutinizer05and actually closing the display allocated same amount of RAM *again*17:37
jon_ywhy did it do something like that?17:37
jon_yreally bad memleak?17:37
* DocScrutinizer05 suspects destructors of all objects got called and thus something cracy happened17:38
DocScrutinizer05crazy*17:38
jon_yshould be freeing in destructors, not allocating17:38
DocScrutinizer05blame Qt317:39
jon_yI try to be very conservative with C++17:39
DocScrutinizer05I argued long time with chief developer Michel deBoer of twinklephone, about replacing that crap by a system("less") call, but he refused to touch that code, argument "less is not posix, thus not available on some of the target platforms"17:41
DocScrutinizer05(long story short)17:42
jon_yhow about letting $PAGER do it, if not, just dump out everything to stdout17:42
DocScrutinizer05twinklephone is a Qt GUI app17:43
jon_ymaybe I don't want any paging17:43
*** valdyn has quit IRC17:43
DocScrutinizer05"show logfile" been a auxilary function under extras menu in that GUI17:43
DocScrutinizer05noboy usually would use it17:44
DocScrutinizer05nobody*17:44
jon_yits supposed to put it into a textedit box?17:44
DocScrutinizer05install twinklephone and test it ;-)17:44
DocScrutinizer05yep17:44
jon_ydoesn't QT have a decent textedit box with scrollers attached?17:46
jon_ymaybe qt3 doesn't17:46
DocScrutinizer05well, I guess that's exactly the one twinklephone used17:47
*** FlameReaper has quit IRC17:47
*** arvut has joined #maemo17:48
jon_yI've done wxwidgets and SWT, I don't think QT is that stupid17:48
jon_yI mean just some scroller and textbox shouldn't be doubling memory17:49
*** valdyn has joined #maemo17:49
DocScrutinizer05doubling? the doubling happened on close, on top of an already kicking factor of 50, 100, or 1000 (can't recall anymore - probably it's been too insane to keep details in memory)17:50
*** M4rtinK has quit IRC17:51
DocScrutinizer05I.E for opening 100k of logfile text, Qt allocated let's say 5MB of RAM17:51
DocScrutinizer05maybe 5017:51
jon_yI can't imagine a scrollable text box doing that unless something went crazy wrong17:51
DocScrutinizer05I checked it17:51
DocScrutinizer05I found it and discussed it and Michel and others confirmed it17:52
* jon_y be avoiding qt317:52
jon_yvalgrind better be talking17:52
DocScrutinizer05twinklephone still available for installation on virtually all common distro repositories17:54
*** sq-one has joined #maemo17:54
DocScrutinizer05will need qt3 libs but so what17:54
DocScrutinizer05you're able to reproduce my findings in less than 10 minutes17:55
DocScrutinizer05and I honestly don't think that's particularly twinklephone specific problem, I'm quite sure it's genuine Qt3 textedit box problem17:58
jon_yI sure hope with all that newfangledness in QT4 and C++11 fixes it17:59
*** FlameReaper has joined #maemo17:59

infobotDocScrutinizer05 meant: if they stop implementig each isngle char as a rich text object, I'm sure it will improve ;-P (only handwaving)18:01

DocScrutinizer05kerio: nfc about that brainfuckscheduler kernel22:35
DocScrutinizer05_Lena: I suggest you reflash to proper stock maemo PR1.3, to get a clean start (unless you got so much nifty config in this system that it's actually worth the effort to 'fix' stuff rather than simply restroing the standard packages after reflash)22:37
DocScrutinizer05I.E. do a backup with builtin maemo backuptool, then reflash, then restore your apps if really needed, but make sure to uncheck any kernel related stuff from the list of apps to restore22:38
DocScrutinizer05reflash means: do a normal flashing of COMBINED aka rootfs, as in22:39

freemangordon_Lena: seems you did not flash the stock kernel23:32
DocScrutinizer05you rebooted?23:32

vi__sq-one: thumb is just the next stage in n900 evolution.23:33
DocScrutinizer05your installing kernel kernel-flasher kernel-modules failed23:33
DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: see why I thought "too tedious"?23:33
freemangordon_Lena: do you have multiboot installed?23:34
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: I know, but still ...23:34
_Lenabut how does the kernel afecct the NOLO ?23:34
DocScrutinizer05not at all23:34
DocScrutinizer05what's wrong with your NOLO?23:34
DocScrutinizer05if your NOLO was defect, you'd not even see the dim NOKIA screen23:34
_Lenait is not comming up whith the usb-symbel in the top right corner whenn i boot whith the u- Key and usbbcable conected23:35
DocScrutinizer05I thought you told it does, then after 10s rebotts23:35
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: hmm, faulty bq chip?23:35

_Lenathat is was i told here at first in the chat23:36
DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: listen carefully what the helpee is actually saying23:36
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: iirc hostmode (i.e. twl chargepump works), but charging(aka bqxxx) does not23:36
freemangordonor was it ISP chargepump.23:37
DocScrutinizer05_Lena: oops you're right23:37
DocScrutinizer05you told "without USB in upper right"23:37
_Lena..diid I ?23:37

*** akls2 has quit IRC23:38
DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: boost and charge are same chip23:38
freemangordonhmm, ok23:38
DocScrutinizer05and _Lena told h-e-n supplies VBUS23:38
freemangordon_Lena: can you pastebin your dmesg, after connecting the charger23:38
_Lenayes it is the same chip and it supplies 5v23:39
_Lenaok23:39
DocScrutinizer05I still suspect flat battery23:39
freemangordon_Lena: and try again to flash the stock kernel23:39
_Lenafiirst i disconected my datacabel to my pc :  twl4030_usb twl4030_usb: HW_CONDITIONS 0x50/80; link 123:40
DocScrutinizer05and btw NOLO (even when magically borked so it wouldn't allow flashing) will not stop a live system kernel reflashing, nor charging23:40
_Lenafiirst i disconected my datacabel to my pc :  twl4030_usb twl4030_usb: HW_CONDITIONS 0x50/80; link 123:40
freemangordonapt-get install --reinstall kernel kernel-modules kernel-flasher23:41
_Lenathen after conecting the original charger :  twl4030_usb twl4030_usb: HW_CONDITIONS 0xd0/208; link 223:41
freemangordon_Lena: ^^^23:41
freemangordondo that until you see kernel image flashed23:41
*** vi__ has quit IRC23:41
DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: please check if on-device kerenl flashing not also checks for battery level - I seem to cliiudily recall sth like that23:41
freemangordonor post whatever error you get23:41
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: don;t know, lets see23:41
DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: see if you can get proper *real* charge level values from _Lena23:42
DocScrutinizer05btw _Lena = she?23:42
freemangordonsounds like23:43
_Lenayes, female23:43
DocScrutinizer05(if so then sorry, we're not used to fenale users here ;-D)23:43
kerioDocScrutinizer05: it's what i would've guessed, but i'm not german23:43
_Lenai imagine,  i am used to that ;)23:44
DocScrutinizer05kerio: german? http://webchat.freenode.net23:44
freemangordon_Lena: anyway, how is the on-device kernel flashing going?23:44
freemangordonaah, wait23:44
_Lenatill noow ok23:45
kerioDocScrutinizer05: ip is german too23:45
freemangordonkernel-bfs most probably conflicts with it23:45

DocScrutinizer05is this correct? fmg?23:46
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: yes, stock kernel23:46

DocScrutinizer05:nod:23:47

freemangordon:)23:49
freemangordonI am on my PC :P23:49
_Lenaok, at themoment i got usb (storagemode) conection to my pc23:49
_Lenalets see if it will last23:49
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: And I suspect windoze will BSOD if I type that in cmd :P23:50
DocScrutinizer05hehehe23:50
DocScrutinizer05it'll nuke the south half of your country23:50
freemangordon_Lena: if you have mass storage, charging should work too23:51
DocScrutinizer05indeed23:51
_Lenayes, but i had that before, and later it stopped again23:51
DocScrutinizer05_Lena: you got h-e-n installed?23:51
freemangordon_Lena: would you check which kernel runs now?23:52
DocScrutinizer05_Lena: could you `wget http://enivax.net/jk/n900/bq27200.sh`23:52
DocScrutinizer05_Lena: then execute that script23:52
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: i2ctools?23:52
DocScrutinizer05h-e-n23:52
freemangordonaah23:52
freemangordonyes23:53
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: does it nees bme to be stopped?23:53
freemangordon*need23:53
DocScrutinizer05nope23:53
freemangordonok23:53
*** adb has quit IRC23:53
DocScrutinizer05anyway a ps x|grep bme|grep -v grep would help too ;-)23:54
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: if bme does not run dsme will reboot the device23:54
DocScrutinizer05should yield 2 lines which _Lena can paste here23:54
freemangordonps x?23:54
_Lenaeverything went fine, complaining not enough poower to charge (current sensing ok) then disconected the cable and not working again23:54
DocScrutinizer05ooops, that's my proper ps23:55
freemangordon_Lena: hmm, and what about if you connect the wall charger?23:55
DocScrutinizer05_Lena: there's sth fscked up in your kernel modules or initscripts or whatever23:55
DocScrutinizer05I still suggest full reflash23:56
DocScrutinizer05well, COMBINED reflash23:56
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: deffinitely23:56
freemangordoncould it be that it is PC to blame?23:56
DocScrutinizer05if there been kernel-bfs, there might've been other weird stuff as well23:57
DocScrutinizer05anyway check with fastcharger!23:57
freemangordon_Lena: check which kernel runs !!!23:57
_Lenaokk i executed the script23:57
DocScrutinizer05indeed :-D23:57
_Lenashows nothing23:58
DocScrutinizer05nothing?23:58
DocScrutinizer05aah you neet root dor that23:58

freemangordonfor :P23:58
_Lenai know, but nothing23:58

freemangordonuname -a?23:59
_LenaNokia-N900:~# sudo ./bq27200.sh Nokia-N900:~#23:59
DocScrutinizer05it would just read out bq27200 chip and tell about *true* current to/from battery23:59
DocScrutinizer05as well as true bat voltage23:59
