MrPinguHi!00:01
*** Darkchaos has quit IRC00:01
MrPinguIs there an easy solution for syncing calendar and contacts with outlook?00:02
MrPinguRight now I have syncevolution to sync with google calendar and outlook with google callendar, so indirectly outlook got synced00:05
andre__an openchange server?00:08
*** nox- has joined #maemo00:09
freemangordonvi_: not sure I got your question, but I am still wondoze user :(00:13
freemangordon*windoze00:13
MrPinguif it's easy to set up, i'm totally for it. I don't like google calendar, the way it refuses to import my timetable to my personal calendar00:13
MrPinguandre_:  what's openchange exactly, the homepage doesn't load here00:19
andre__MrPingu, freshmeat says "00:20
andre__OpenChange intends to provide a portable implementation of the Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange protocols. That is, it provides the client and server sides of the Microsoft Exchange RPC (MAPI) protocols."00:20
MrPinguAndre_: thanks, seems that might be my solution :)00:22

DocScrutinizer51_Lena: could you check your PC syslog?00:40
*** vblazquez has quit IRC00:40

DocScrutinizer51'tail -f /var/log/messages'00:41
_Lenai tryed 2 other laptops and one whith windows, all whithout luck, not conecting00:41
DocScrutinizer51possibly it's not messages but syslog or whatever your distro uses00:42

aklsof course01:59
aklsAH01:59

gryDoes Maemo have images for any virtual boxes at all? (I know there is Maemo SDK, but I would rather not use that. It creates files in random places and I don't know how to uninstall/delete it easily if I start hitting out-of-disk-space problems; virtual machines are easy to delete.)03:31

DocScrutinizer05for thumb2 I'm actually rather sure since we dealt with that issue quite a bit lately oevr at cssu12:31
*** hazchemix has joined #maemo12:32
DocScrutinizer05vi_: to find out if a binary is thumbified, you could disassemble and check if you find any thumb instructions or function calls to impair addr12:32
DocScrutinizer05iirc stskeeps had similar problems with hardfp not really indicated in binary header12:33

*** pcfe` is now known as pcfe12:34
ccssnetyay. learned something this morning ^12:34
DocScrutinizer05so hardfp probably is even harder to check for than thumb12:34
DocScrutinizer05mind that hardfp is just an API convention about how to pass call parameters12:35

DocScrutinizer05vi_: recall the erratically thumbified modest, which segfaulted like mad? We pondered quite a bit over at #maemo-ssu how to check all cssu binaries for possible (unintended) thombification, and iirc we finally came up with a shellscript oneliner that did a readelf disassembly and then checked for impair addr12:48
DocScrutinizer05you might try to search chanlog of #maemo-ssu for searchstring "[13579bdf]"12:49

FIQhm15:56
FIQis there a known issue in which the speaker randomly stops working?15:58
vi_nope15:59
vi_well yes.15:59
vi_You need to be more specific when asking a question.15:59
vi_What would a doctors diagnosis be if you went to him and said, 'I am sick, give me medicine.'?16:00
vi_Has it stopped working permanently?16:00
FIQfair enough16:00
vi_is the problem intermittent?16:00
vi_Does it work for some things but not others?16:00
vi_What where you doing at the time?16:01
vi_What are you wearing right now?16:01
vi_Actually, scratch that question.16:01
FIQyesterday, my speaker worked fine, completly fine, playing stuff, calling and so on. Today, it just don't work at all. I didn't update or install any applications between "it works" and "it stopped working", so it shouldn't be related to that. The only thing I did between "it worked" and "it stopped working" was playing around with gpSP, alter volumes (which was my first thought -- but alter it didn't help at all, and speaker doesn't work *at all*, not even in16:03
FIQcalls). I've never had the problem before16:03
vi_what is gpSP?16:03
FIQIn case it's really a firmware problem, I was thinking of making a backupmenu backup and then revert to when I reflashed the device16:03
FIQan emulator, so it should not be related16:03
vi_actually it could be...16:04
vi_If gpSP uses alsa.16:04
FIQi said it shouldn't, i didn't say it wasn't :P16:04
FIQI tried to use my headset -- that still works16:04
vi_all audio is supposed to be routed through pulse audio.16:04
FIQSpeaker on the other hand, does not16:04
vi_Nokia put certain limitations of the volume levels of the speakers.16:05
FIQAlso if gpSP did something scary, it should have been fixed by reboot, no?16:05
FIQBecause that didn't solve it16:05
vi_Pulse audio works 'above' alsa.16:05
vi_Thus, you are able to increase the volume around nokias limitations by adjusting the alsa volume.16:05
FIQWhen I googled around on gpSP and speaker before I came here, i found nothing also16:06
vi_It has been known in a few examples for mplayer, through alsa with the volume cranked to the max to pop the speakers.16:06
FIQThe problem here is -- I didn't *use* the speaker when I used gpSP16:06
FIQI just used my headset16:06
vi_FIQ: The bad news is, there is a chance you have destroyed your n900 speakers.16:06
vi_FIQ: The good news is, maybe you have not and it is something else.  Also the N900 speakers are REAL EASY to replace.16:07
vi_FIQ: You have mplayer installed?16:08
FIQI'll try to do a backupmenu rollback to see if it solves the problem16:08
FIQvi_: Yes, though I haven't used it lately16:08
vi_try: mplayer -ao alsa <SOME RANDOM MP3 FILE)16:08
vi_try: mplayer -ao alsa <SOME RANDOM MP3 FILE>16:08
vi_see if it makes any sound.16:08
vi_Maybe pulse audio is fecked.16:08
vi_backup menu roll back would also be an easy option!16:09
FIQvi_: Aside from the fact that I used a midi file instead, I did as you said, nothing sounded16:10

DocScrutinizer05FIQ: you made sure you're not using ancient obsolete deprecated backupmenu-V1 as of ~2 years ago?20:39
FIQI believe not, unless it's still in the repositories by the name "backupmenu"20:39
DocScrutinizer05I doubt that20:40
*** valerius has quit IRC20:40
FIQas I installed it ~1month ago20:40
DocScrutinizer05should be recent then20:40
DocScrutinizer05simple check: are backup files .tar?20:40
DocScrutinizer05or .tgz?20:40
FIQI believe .tar, but i'm not sure as backupmenu doesn't work anymore20:41
FIQ(or rather, works very badly)20:41
FIQIt gave me two alternatives during backing up, making a copy and making a compressed copy "(VERY SLOW)"20:42
DocScrutinizer05FIQ: nevermind my worries, was just an idea out of thin air20:42
DocScrutinizer05yes, this should be new BM20:42
FIQbut why did it fail just because a bad timestamp?20:42
DocScrutinizer05I don't think it would20:43
FIQsure, I learned a new thing (make sure to have it right), but breaking a restore because it had a future timestamp seems bad20:43
FIQIt gave me several errors during restore stating "(file) is XXXXXXXs in the future"20:43
DocScrutinizer05can't figure how that might cause any harm20:44
FIQAnd then backupmenu claimed it was done and successful and I assumed it was just a warning20:44
FIQso I rebooted20:44
merlin1991rofl installing qt creator maemo toolchain says: installing qt madde 4.7.0 but the folder it works inside is called qt 4.6.2 :D20:44
FIQBaaaad idea20:44
FIQI don't even know why backupmenu still boots, but it does20:44
DocScrutinizer05hmmmm20:44
FIQbut somehow it doesn't relax the watchdog anymore, so occasionally it just dies20:45
DocScrutinizer05IF untar refuses to install "files in the future" by default, I'd call that a MAJOR bug of BM20:45
FIQand I cannot restore the backup I created before restoring because it isn't found20:45
FIQbrb boot phone to state more accurate errror20:45
FIQ*error20:45
*** ariiiii has joined #maemo20:47
FIQthe following problems are showing up at the moment:20:47
FIQbootmenu crashes if having the menu open in more than 5s, leaving watchdog to killing it after ~20s20:47
FIQMaemo doesn't boot at all, resulting in reboot loop20:48
FIQBackupmenu crashes unless I press keys during startup (in which it complains "watchdog: not found" (random characters in the string making it hard to read)20:48
DocScrutinizer05you're in for a proper reflash, then resore backup again20:48
FIQTrying to restore from eMMC gives "Error: Cannot mount the eMMC. Please try fsck", and fscking gives "fsck.ext2: No such file or directory"20:48
FIQoooh brilliant, I love reflashing with a barely working microUSB20:49
FIQ..or not20:49
DocScrutinizer05sorry20:49

FIQ*buttons20:55
FIQ*dies20:55
FIQDocScrutinizer05: so, should I go to the average repair shop? or should I attempt reflash first?20:57
*** toxaris has quit IRC20:57
DocScrutinizer05first get it repaired I'd say20:57
FIQthere's another possible issue in my phone, which led to me restoring at first place, so they can fix that too (which should be easy) in case it's hardware issue20:58
DocScrutinizer05I doubt your audio is any hw issue20:58
FIQthey could check at least :p20:58
DocScrutinizer05nevermind audio20:59
DocScrutinizer05find a repair shop where guys can solder20:59
DocScrutinizer05if they offer LED color change for arbitrary phones, that would be a good indicator already21:00
DocScrutinizer05fixing USB is not significantly harder than swapping LEDs of arbitrary devices21:00
FIQhmm ok21:00
FIQthen I would also be able to charge properly again :D21:01
DocScrutinizer05provide proper instructions with photos for them, from21:01

infobotwell, usbfix is http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75920 - and **NEVER** use epoxy (unless you want to seal your device for underwater)21:01
DocScrutinizer05tell them your USB got loose solder joints and all they need to do is resolder it (and maybe do the reinforcement soldering on both sides as well)21:03
jon_yI don't know, the shops tend to promise more than they can deliver :)21:03
DocScrutinizer05if they are really competent, they will already know and maybe even check in detail what's state of the USB receptacle and if it maybe should get swapped for a new one21:04

ccssnetah. well i ask because the open pandora i have auto boots an inserted SD card if a file called autoboot.txt is present :)21:25
DocScrutinizer05so what?21:25
ccssnetand certainly not ignorance. just poking sarcasm21:25
DocScrutinizer05we don't even need that21:25
FIQbooting SD card would really help21:25
FIQas it would (with right software obviously) enable me to reflash on-device21:26
FIQbut, as I can't do that.. yeah21:26
kerioFIQ: that's why i installed uboot :)21:26
DocScrutinizer05FIQ: then you ought have setup uBoot accordingly21:26
*** e-yes has quit IRC21:26
kerioand i even have a bootable onboard rescueOS21:26
FIQDocScrutinizer05: currently I don't have uboot, but i'll make sure to get that21:26
FIQ...this feels a bit like the last time I got into trouble21:27
kerioccssnet: how's the openpandora, btw?21:27
FIQ"you don't have backupmenu? omg"21:27
ccssnetkerio: a little thicker then i expected21:27
ccssnetbut nice21:27
DocScrutinizer05FIQ: indeed I didn't know BM has such a nasty bug21:27
DocScrutinizer05FIQ: and I'm still not entirely believing it21:28
FIQDocScrutinizer05: well it was the only sight of error that I saw21:28
ccssnetif you plan to buy one with intentions on booting SD cards on the open pandora. only buy high end SD cards. just a tip.21:28
FIQErrors: XX | Last error: /random/file is 4802985s into the future21:28
DocScrutinizer05yeah, and it's a strong indicator of sth fishy in that restore21:28
*** straind` has joined #maemo21:29

*** straind has quit IRC21:29
* DocScrutinizer05 makes mental note to a) look into bootmenu, b) pester robbiethe1st to FIX DAT SHITE21:29
kerio:)21:29
FIQthe annoying part was that I *knew* that the wrong date was set, I just was unaware that it would cause this21:30
kerioluckily bootmenu has a way to give you a shell via usb networking21:30
DocScrutinizer05FIQ: I would have fallen into that pitfall as well21:30
FIQ*booted up Maemo by mistake after battery swap* "hey, time was reset... oh well, let's reboot, it's not like anything would go wrong anyway"21:30
*** Zahra has joined #maemo21:30
FIQand usually battery swap doesn't reset clock, i was just too slow this time (which is unusual for me on its' own)21:31
DocScrutinizer05FIQ: the worst pity in all this: probably your audio wpuld've been fixable without a restore21:32
FIQD:21:33
ccssnetDocScrutinizer05: btw, the implimentation the open pandora uses with boot.txt and autoboot.txt versus the n900 requirement to flash the boot loader is obviosly leaning towards the pandora for the win. since their implimentation doesnt involve possible bricked devices...21:33
DocScrutinizer05meh21:34
FIQccssnet: pandora is a nice device21:34
FIQI would buy it today if it wasn't for the price being a bit on the high side21:34
ccssnetselling mine now  :)21:34
*** straind` has quit IRC21:34
DocScrutinizer05ccssnet: please stop ranting based on ignorance, there's no such thing as a bricked N900, unless you got hw defects like FIQ21:34
FIQyeah21:35
ccssnetDocScrutinizer05: please stop being the hostile channel aggressor21:35
* kerio grabs the popcorn21:35
FIQunless microUSB is broken, all I would do is just plugging in n900 and enter a command on bash21:35
FIQ~1min max21:35
FIQand then I could restore backup properly21:35
FIQeasy21:35
kerioFIQ: hell, robbiethe1st has a fiasco image with backupmenu preinstalled21:36
* DocScrutinizer05 breaks ccssnet's pandora MMC card holder, then asks "what's with not brickable now? eh?"21:36
ccssnet^ a g r e s s o r21:36
kerio*g g21:36
FIQoh well, i'll have to google for a repair thing nearly21:37
kerioccssnet: btw, which bootloader does the OP use?21:37
ccssnetanyway the way that was worded he expected a reply. DocScrutinizer05 it can boot either of the sd slots. as well as the internal nand.21:37
DocScrutinizer05uBoot, what else21:38
ccssnetkerio: a modified uboot21:38
kerioccssnet: ok, what if both SD slots break?21:38
ccssnetthen you should still boot internal nand?21:38
*** piecyk has joined #maemo21:38
FIQand if it happens to be broken?21:38
kerioccssnet: we're going with "you borked your rootfs"21:38
FIQfirmware this time21:38
keriothat's the hypothetical scenario21:38
FIQyeah21:38
FIQthe funny part is, my n900 isn't even bricked, theoretically21:39
DocScrutinizer05ccssnet: I'm not interested in eductating you on a premise of your assumption to know better21:39
ccssnetwell its a very unlikely scenario to have a band nand internal, and both sd card slots bad...21:39
kerioFIQ: well, it can't boot21:39
merlin1991If anyone in here is using TweeGo and wants it working again, I hacked together a fix http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1285988#post128598821:39
DocScrutinizer05ccssnet: anyway your comments are not contributing anything helpful21:39
FIQProbably, with some luck, I would probably be able to restore it here and now after some tries and a little of me being frustrated21:39
ccssnetDocScrutinizer05: you cant teach me anything anyway. stop trying to turn me into an unwelcome channel member21:40
*** qwazix has joined #maemo21:40
FIQBut due to the risk of breaking microUSB completly, i'll look for a repair shop first21:40

*** piecyk has quit IRC21:41
ccssnetFIQ: ebay has some repair services available if you want to trust some random ebayers21:41
FIQDocScrutinizer05: I hope the audio really is fw though, going through the trouble of finding a good repair shop, then getting back the n900 after a month and realizing audio was hw after all would be a little demotivating21:42
DocScrutinizer05ccssnet: it's well known that NOLO (N900 bootloader) is not the optimal approach21:42
ccssnet4 messages later he finally states a relivant, not hostile opinion ^21:43
DocScrutinizer05but we already dealt with that, by introducing uBoot for N900, which can do everything you were concerned about21:43
DocScrutinizer05and thus all your rant is not giving us any new idea about the issue21:43
ccssnetthank you for catching up. would you like me to retype my original message that spawned your passive aggressive responses?21:44
ccssnetanyway im out for now21:45

DocScrutinizer05merlin1991: twitter? :-o21:51
DocScrutinizer05btw N900 actually can boot from uSD just as pandora does21:52
*** mavhc has joined #maemo21:52
DocScrutinizer05since ROMBL is checking on first MMC for xloader21:52
FIQwait21:53
DocScrutinizer05it might actually work to move NOLO to uSD, name it accordingly, and N900 would boot it from there21:53
FIQso I can boot on SD?21:53
DocScrutinizer05you can load xloader from there, yes21:54
FIQhm21:54
keriobut xloader is fairly "static" in what it does21:54
FIQthat doesn't tell me too much21:54
kerioisn't it?21:54
DocScrutinizer05FIQ: it's like saying you can have initial bootcode not only in MBR of first HDD but also on USB stick21:55
kerioPali: *poke*, we might need your consultancy here21:55
FIQalso I've realized that I'm bad at finding good repair shops (or any shop for that matter) nearby21:55
FIQDocScrutinizer05: ah, yeah, but I thought N900 wouldn't accept that21:55
FIQbecause if it would, I guess my current problem would be possible to be solved without reflash, by using a bootloader that doesn't exist yet to boot up something on the SD card21:56
DocScrutinizer05FIQ: the problem is we seem to be unable to avoid NOLO, and NOLO is booting kernel partition of NAND21:56
Palikerio, sorry but now I *must* prepare for ACM ICPC (tomorrow)!21:56
kerio:(21:56
keriobut we need to help FIQ!21:57
DocScrutinizer05Pali: good luck!21:57
kerioand yeah, good luck :)21:57
FIQgl Pali21:57
DocScrutinizer05kerio: nothing pali could do21:57
Palithanks :-)21:57
kerioDocScrutinizer05: xloader+uboot to load rescueOS21:57
*** Pali has quit IRC21:57
DocScrutinizer05might be feasible21:57
keriobut you'd need uboot to completely replace NOLO21:58
DocScrutinizer05if somebody would know how to make uBoot completely replace NOLO21:58
keriohm, is "NOLO" pronounced like "YOLO"?21:58
FIQif I could place bootloader in SD card to load something like uboot, that itself also load an OS from SD card, all bypassing the usual process (i.e. skipping NAND), then it would work21:58
FIQprobably not with optimal spec (it's class 2 I believe), but enough21:59
DocScrutinizer05FIQ: alas we need NOLO so far, since it does some unknown magic to crank up N900 hw21:59
DocScrutinizer05afaik21:59
FIQhmm21:59
DocScrutinizer05I seem to recall recent efforts to replace NOLO by uBoot completely, and yes that's probably actually pali to ask22:00
DocScrutinizer05I dunno how far those efforts have matured22:01
FIQwouldn't replacement of bootloader break usual flashing approach?22:02
DocScrutinizer05yes22:02
kerioFIQ: uboot is *a lot* more flexible than NOLO22:02
DocScrutinizer05but lacking some magic22:03
keriothe possibilities are endless!22:03
*** lizardo has quit IRC22:03
merlin1991DocScrutinizer05: yes twitter, and if you don't like the evil corporation you can always use ident.ca or how it's called22:03
DocScrutinizer05probably part of that magic being a malicious spell we'd be happy to get rid of22:03
DocScrutinizer05merlin1991: aah :-D22:04
DocScrutinizer05kerio: uBoot had to learn to initialize low level stuff like RAM, framebuffer, etc22:07
DocScrutinizer05for now the uBoot we got been shrinked to death regarding those capabilities I'd guess22:08
DocScrutinizer05since there's not too much space left in kernel partition to keep 'cruft' like that22:08
FIQfound a shop that seemed promising (my dad also repaired his phone there once when he broke his display, they worked fine), but N900 isn't listed on the "phones that we support" lol22:09
* FIQ is close to just taking the "just reflash" approach atm22:09
FIQbrb22:09
DocScrutinizer05well, it's just a generic piiece of HW for them22:09
*** hardaker has joined #maemo22:09
DocScrutinizer05you supply the 'knowledge'22:09
kerioFIQ: what do you mean "just reflash"?22:10
FIQthey seem to be able to switch a broken display though, wouldn't that need a bit of soldering knowledge?22:10
FIQkerio: my microUSB works barely22:10
FIQit responds etc, and I successfully reflashed with it last month after a few hours of fiddling22:10
DocScrutinizer05FIQ: swapping display usually isn't a task where you need soldering skills22:11
FIQbut during the time, it broke from "dodgy" to "barely work"22:11
DocScrutinizer05FIQ: you probably still can fix (or find sb to fix) USB now. after next plug/unplug cycle that may already have changed to "now you need to follow the hard path to put a working USB receptacle on that board"22:13
DocScrutinizer05which means it might be a task so challenging then that you better get a spare N900 rather than paying the same amount of money for fixing USB the hard way22:14
DocScrutinizer05FIQ: that's why I suggest to fix USB *now*22:15
