entitled99.9% positive feedback, but every negative or neutral the vendor has is about the polarcell ones they are selling01:17
DocScrutinizer51just like the negative comments about that IL seller selling HK origin "new original package" N900. Each negative comment is "fake device. Refurbished. Not new. Used device. Cheater"01:22

Lava_Croftoh its nice how they state the battery works in 8, 16 and 32gb devices01:26
* Lava_Croft wipes forehead01:26
keriowhy is the N900 grouped with the C3-00? :s01:26
Lava_Croftmaybe both use BL-5J01:26

entitledshould've been more careful, was naive to think that german vendor wouldn't sell counterfeit crap.01:35
SpeedEvilwell, have you contacted them?01:37
*** setanta has quit IRC01:37
entitlednope01:39
entitledleft an follow-up feedback01:39
SpeedEvilcontact them, ask for replacement, or refund01:39
entitledmost of their feedback is in deutsch01:40
SpeedEvilonly then leave feedback01:40
SpeedEvilso?01:40
entitledthey've answered few feedbacks and judging from them, their stance seems to be that they are a-ok.01:40
entitledthe batteries I mean. Functioning as intended.01:41

SpeedEvilsmall claims court01:42
entitledAnyone know what lies beneath genuine polarcell sticker?01:42
SpeedEvilcontact polar ell01:42
entitledfound two lines of alphanumeric code under mine01:42

Lava_Croftall the dents01:50
Lava_Crofti really love this hires pics01:50
entitledhmm, dr_frost_dk lists the same vendor as a source for his battery that he measured for 1400mA01:54
*** FlameReaper-PC has joined #maemo01:55
DocScrutinizer05kerio: ((legit?)) sounds not that reassuring. Since a) BL-5J never been a LiPo but a LiIon. and b) they claim it's the strongest (highest capacity) battery available for those devices, which is evidently incorrect even when looking only at Nokia genuine batteries01:56
DocScrutinizer05ooh, b) already mentioned by ShadowJK01:57
DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: that's evidently fake photoshopped picture02:02
ShadowJKimpressive stitch02:03
Lava_CroftShadowJK: havent heard about the object they found02:04
Lava_CroftI think they agreed that it came from the microwave tho02:04
ShadowJKthey found alot more of them later02:04
Lava_Crofter i mean rover02:04
Lava_Croftah02:04
ShadowJKlike, too many to be parts falling off02:04
Lava_Croft:D02:04
Lava_Crofti havent followed that anymore, was busy02:05
*** crashanddie has quit IRC02:05
Lava_Croftthey use social media so much02:05
Lava_CroftIts great how they post everything as if its the rover itself posting02:05
SpeedEvilDocScrutinizer05: they're now using shiny GPU based stitchers and stuff to do this with02:05
Lava_CroftShadowJK: the first shiny part is unrelated to later shiny parts02:07
Lava_Croftthe first thing was a piece of plastic from the rover02:07
Lava_Croftlater on it was different things02:07
merlin1991anybody care to explain *how* it took the picture (of the rover) to a complete idiot?02:07

DocScrutinizer05merlin1991: stitched several snapshots to a huge highres picture. Obviously the managed to pick those pictures that all have no sign of the arm (though I still wonder what's about the point of the rover where the arm *ends*)02:13
*** M4rtinK has joined #maemo02:13
DocScrutinizer05or rather: starts02:13
DocScrutinizer05there *must* be some artifacts there02:14
*** drussell has quit IRC02:14
DocScrutinizer05since, while the hand arm could portrait the rover, still the arm can't portrait itself full length - you'll never see the camera taking the snapshots in the snapshots. So where's the stub?02:15
DocScrutinizer05or are there two of them cameras?02:16
Lava_CroftDocScrutinizer05: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curiosity_rover#Mars_Hand_Lens_Imager_.28MAHLI.2902:19
Lava_Croftthats used to make the portrait pics02:19
Lava_Croftmahli is the only camera on a long arm02:20
Lava_CroftDocScrutinizer05: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/98/Curiosity_on_Mars.jpg02:21
Lava_Crofthere the arm seems cut out02:21
Lava_Croftbottom middle02:21
*** npm has joined #maemo02:23
ShadowJKAlso look in reflection in the lens in upper left on that big selfportrait pic02:25
Lava_Croftits upside down, yes02:25
Lava_Croftthats normal02:25
Lava_Croftat least, if you mean the inverted landscape02:26
*** hardaker has quit IRC02:29
*** hardaker has joined #maemo02:30
DocScrutinizer05I just think they pretty nifty cut hte stiching so it doesn't show where they cut of the arm with the camera02:30
DocScrutinizer05cut off*02:31
Lava_Croftprobably, yes02:32
DragnslcrIs there any way to stop the media player from renaming audio files? I assume it's fetching information from CDDB or FreeDB, but I don't want it renaming files that it finds matches for.02:33
DocScrutinizer05it's not renaming files02:36
dafoxdoes anyone see the shadow of the arm then?02:36
DocScrutinizer05Dragnslcr: the whole crap works quite different02:37
DocScrutinizer05the notorious trackerd is scanning "all device" for media files and tags in there. Then buolds a SQL database from that, and this is used to show available songs/videos etc in mediaplayer02:38
DragnslcrWell, the file manager shows them being renamed02:38
DocScrutinizer05duh02:38
*** OkropNick has quit IRC02:39
DocScrutinizer05nobody ever seen that before02:39
DragnslcrSo does my computer when it connects in mass storage mode02:39
DocScrutinizer05:shrug:02:39
DocScrutinizer05nfc who should rename files there02:39
DocScrutinizer05my files all are untampered02:39
Skryas are mine02:40
DragnslcrHm, terminal shows the files with the names I gave them02:40
DocScrutinizer05after all renaming media files was pretty idiocy, since on next sync your syncer would think fles are missing and would copy them over again02:40
DragnslcrBizarre02:40
*** Vanadis has quit IRC02:40
DragnslcrLet me check mass storage mode again02:41
DragnslcrOkay, it looks correct from my computer now02:42
DocScrutinizer05Dragnslcr: maybe you fell for another evil pitfall: you MUST NOT try to access any files on MyDocs or uSD-card via any means on-device, as long as device is in USB mass storage mode02:42
DragnslcrYeah, the FIle Manager doesn't even show the SD card in mass storage mode02:43
*** vi__ has quit IRC02:43
*** t0h has quit IRC02:43
DragnslcrAnd I know I haven't gone through the terminal like that02:43
DocScrutinizer05since MyDocs as well as /media/card needs umount to get exported, you'd access a plain dir of / or in your homedir then02:44
DragnslcrSo File Manager shows the CDDB names. I guess it looks at the metadata02:44
dafoxthis shows where the imager (MAHLI) is attached: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3f/Drawing-of-the-Mars-Science_Laboratory.png02:44
*** Vanadis has joined #maemo02:44
dafoxlooking at the picture you can see the artifacts02:45
DocScrutinizer05soring any files there during mass storage mode would create phantom files that sue up space but never usually are visible02:45
dafoxmystery solved :D02:45
DragnslcrSo I guess my question then is just how to stop the media player from fetching the info02:45
DocScrutinizer05storing*02:45
DocScrutinizer05Dragnslcr: there's no way to stop mediaplayer from using tracker database. there's however a plugin to access 'raw' filesystem02:46
DocScrutinizer05and I never realized filemanager shows metadata for media files02:47
DragnslcrSeems odd to me, too. That's all I can think of, though02:47
DocScrutinizer05and tbh I doubt that's the case02:47
DragnslcrIt doesn't show the same names as doing ls in the terminal02:49
*** t0h has joined #maemo02:49
DocScrutinizer05for the base dirs that's true02:49
Skryafaik neither media player or tracker "fetches" anything from anywhere but the file itself, so just delete metadata from file and you'll see just filenames02:50
DocScrutinizer05as /home/user/MyDocs/ is shown as N900/ in filemanager02:50
DocScrutinizer05Skry: err wut?02:50
DragnslcrFor stuff under Music, it lists the song title and artist02:50
DocScrutinizer05filemanager?02:50
DragnslcrYup02:50
Skryby metadata I ment ie id3 tags02:51
DragnslcrI don't know if Music is treated special, or if it would do it anywhere in the file system02:51
DocScrutinizer05soory, not even a Music dir here02:51
*** valdyn has quit IRC02:52
DragnslcrI have /media/mmc1/Music02:52
DocScrutinizer05:shrug:02:53
DocScrutinizer05I don't think that's any standard02:53
DocScrutinizer05since /media/mmc1 is the uSD02:53
DocScrutinizer05but yeah, I can confirm it shows metadata in MP3 dirs02:54
DocScrutinizer05with a music note icon in front of them02:55
DragnslcrI don't remember if it's always been there or if I created the directories on the SD card myself02:55
DocScrutinizer05fsck filemanager02:55
DragnslcrI've had the phone for almost 3 years02:55
DocScrutinizer05pro-tip: use URL "file://media/mmc1/music" in browser02:56
DocScrutinizer05or, alternatively, use a decent file manager02:56
DocScrutinizer05not the braindamaged one that ships with maemo02:57
DocScrutinizer05every other filemanager will allow you to visiut dirs like /etc /var whatnot else, and doesn't do nifty idiocy like the metadata stuff on media files02:58
*** freemangordon has quit IRC02:59
*** valdyn has joined #maemo02:59
DragnslcrYeah, probably a good idea. I haven't used the file manager too much anyway. Mass storage mode and the terminal have been good enough so far02:59
DragnslcrSkry- looks like you might be right that it reads the id3 tags02:59
SkryDragnslcr: I am.03:00
*** rcg has quit IRC03:00
DragnslcrNow to change all of them03:00
*** hardaker has quit IRC03:03
SkryDragnslcr: if you remove/change them you might need to manually set tracker to do a rescan.03:03
*** hardaker has joined #maemo03:04
SkryNot sure though, but I have a faint memory of tracked not updating on metadata change, might be wrong.03:04
DragnslcrIt looked like it picked it up right away, but I had copied a new file from my computer anyway03:04
Skryimo tracker should be killed with fire03:05
DragnslcrThanks for the help, all03:10

vi_freemangordon: It is like a windows manager for X!12:41
vi_DocScrutinizer51: yeah.12:41
DocScrutinizer51no matter why it broke down. It's not like you need to dedicatedly detach12:42
vi_anyway gnu screen is old, obselete and riddled with code rot.12:42
freemangordonvi_: anyway, back to ramzswap - I need someone to convince me it makes sense to finish what's been started12:42
vi_tmux is the new kid on the block, it is like gnu screen XL EDITION.12:42
vi_freemangordon: How about a free n950?12:43

vi_DocScrutinizer51: Is it?12:43
DocScrutinizer51afaik12:43
freemangordonnaah, I am talking about rationale12:43
freemangordonI *feel* my device performs worse with ramzswap on12:44
DocScrutinizer51tmux is braindamaged, since it keeps your mobile device busy12:44
DocScrutinizer51battery killer12:44
vi_DocScrutinizer51: I will need to check that.12:44
freemangordonand all that come from compression12:44
vi_freemangordon: Is it possible to use a 'lighter' compression algo?12:45
vi_or emphasise performance over compression ratio?12:45
*** calvaris has joined #maemo12:45
freemangordoni don;t think it matters, as it should happen in "real time"12:45
freemangordonBTW I would like to hear ShadowJK's thoughts on that, he tried it too12:46
DocScrutinizer51you nice bunch with your intriguing topics make me ponder extending my break for another cig12:46
freemangordonvi_: and usually we need pages swapped in the same time we read rootfs12:47
vi_is it possible to not use compression on root?12:47
freemangordonsure12:47
*** MrPingu has joined #maemo12:47
vi_obviously have to evict a load of stuff.12:48
vi_There was also some guy...12:48
vi_ruskie perhaps who created the move root to emmc and boot from there script.12:48
freemangordonwell, I think lots of stuff can be moved to /opt, but that's not the point12:48
vi_I mean to create space on root so that compression does not need to be used.12:50
DocScrutinizer51optify shite!12:54
freemangordonI think the best that could be done is to just make an optimized swap. with no compression at all12:55
DocScrutinizer51vi_: I think optification mainly been driven by lcuk12:56
freemangordonvi_: compression (on rootfs) does not depend on amount of free space12:56
freemangordon*the amount12:56
vi_freemangordon: yes, however if you remove compression, the contents of root will 'grow'.12:57
DocScrutinizer51there's still a whole lotta cruft to optify. Let's see who's tackling it12:57
freemangordonof course it will12:57
freemangordonagain, that's not the point12:57
vi_DocScrutinizer51: I self optify all the time.  Symlink shit all over the place.12:57
DocScrutinizer51check out optification jobs12:58
freemangordonswap compression will alaways lead to CPU load. Usually at the same moment you need that CPU to do other stuff12:58

freemangordonShadowJK: sure. But usually swap writes happen on aplication startup13:01
freemangordonor when switching between mmory hungry apps13:02
vi_freemangordon: Or switching some very heavy windows surely.13:02
vi_In the latter case, rootfs interaction is minimal.13:02
freemangordonexactly13:02
freemangordonbut you still have stutter because of ramzswap13:03
freemangordonas CPU is needed by the heavy app AND swap13:03
freemangordonand that annot be solved by putting pages in workqueue to be compressed later as we don;t have enough RAM13:04

lardmanrather than needing to replace it wholesale13:53
freemangordonvi_: I managed to install ubuntu, but ati cosed source driver does not work13:53
vi_hey dawg I heard u like apps so we embedded an app in an app so you can ignore what you are doing while you are doing it.13:53

vi_I just installed debian on a system some 2 days ago, took me 30mins+installation of closed source junk.13:54
lardmanjon_y: it's the integration rather than the backend that I'm talking about here - re backends it will be good to finally get GPUs with OpenCL support, sometime....13:54
jon_yyo dawg, we heard you like apps so we put an app in your app so you can app while you app13:54

vi_freemangordon: How do you run scratchbox then?13:54
freemangordonin vmware13:55
jon_yintegration/backend, its the same, just depending on which direction you look13:55

vi_lardman: It is just a shame doesnt listen.13:55
SpeedEvilthe camera app expansion is not where I'd have liked the listening to be :-)13:56
freemangordonvi_: I'll give debian a shot again, just not soon, there is more interesting things to do ;)13:56
lardmanjon_y: hmm, not sure about that; the integration issue was present all over the shop and basically due to the closed apps13:56
vi_freemangordon: My advice is 32bit debian testing.13:56
freemangordonvi_: like kernel in CSSU and such13:56
freemangordonvi_: yeah, I know13:56
jon_ycamera is at /dev/video or something13:56
vi_freemangordon: YEEAAAHHH!!!!13:56
lardmanclosed is fine as long as there are apis to allow expansion/addition of features, providers, consumers, etc. That's the point of the Lenses thing just too late for us13:56

vi_off course jolla will save us, they have produced more devices than tizen+meego+moblin combined!13:59

lardmanSpeedEvil: sure, I forgot about the latter14:00
lardmanI fear it will be closed source though as otherwise it's probably hard to monetise it14:00
SpeedEvilthe latter, with the ability to buy licences would be most awesome14:00
vi_lardman: and therein lies the problem with OSS.14:01

lardmanSpeedEvil: even the former with decent expansion apis would be fine, got to start somewhere14:01
SpeedEvilvery true14:01
SpeedEvileven just rolling back to the state of harmattan would be an improvement14:01
vi_Google have half managed it.  There income does not come from selling/maintaining their OS.14:02

lardmanI'm on the fence about that, I think it would be good to provide lots of apps up front to get people using the platform14:07
*** crashanddie has quit IRC14:07
lardmanI suppose no-one would bother developing natively then as they could target two platforms at once14:07
lardmanthough presumably the native stuff would have better integration, and generally be better once written, which gives some motivation to write stuff14:08

SpeedEvilwell, or in-house14:10
SpeedEvilindeed14:10
SpeedEvilor even an in house porting process for compatible apps14:10
SpeedEvilthey are GPL after all14:10
lardmanI wonder if lots of apps are actually necessary, perhaps it would work better targetted at power users to being with, accept that you don't have 10 million apps to download but that you can write stuff14:11
lardmani.e. similar strategy to the N90014:12
ShadowJK10 million apps, and none of them do what i want14:12
