DocScrutinizer05sixwheeled|away: be *careful* with glue! odds are you glue the screw in place instead of helping with getting it unscrewed00:10

DocScrutinizer05Pali: assuming Nokia(core) has access to the SW-admin-GPGkey but isn't willing to hand it out to Nokia-affiliates. What file would Matti need to send to NokiaCore to have it signed there by the SW-key? Could you investigate how such a scenario could still work?00:23
kerioDocScrutinizer05: Release00:23
*** _rd has joined #maemo00:24
kerio(but wait for Pali's or merlin1991's confirmation)00:24
PaliDocScrutinizer05, he only needs to sign Release file on each apt line repository00:24
DocScrutinizer05kerio: I thought as much, but we'd need *details* and in-depth investigation if we were to send such a suggestion to NokiaAffiliates00:24
Paliand store signature into file Release.gpg00:24
jacekowskiwhat keys are we talking about here?00:25
Palinokia gpg key for ssu/ovi00:25
DocScrutinizer05Pali: could you write up a *detailed* (to the commandline, with arguments and FQN-filenames) instruction how to do that?00:25
DocScrutinizer05kerio: could you help?00:26
PaliDocScrutinizer05, matti already wrote that they have infrastructure & scripts for that00:26
Paliand he know how to fix it00:26
jacekowskiDocScrutinizer05: gpg --list-keys and then gpg --export-key key_id00:26
Palijacekowski, no00:26
DocScrutinizer05I think Matti doesn't exactly know what key to apply where, that's why he says they have scripts that do *standard* stuff for them00:27
jacekowskiPali: ?00:27
keriojacekowski: not to export the key, to sign the Release file and create a Release.gpg00:27
*** nox- has joined #maemo00:27
jacekowskiahm00:27
Palijacekowski: they need to change gpg key00:27
jacekowskithey?00:28
Palipublic part is already hardcoded in maemo00:28
Palithey = nokia00:28
DocScrutinizer05jacekowski: on device we have two pubkeys for SSU: one normal one which is expired, and a SW-admin key.00:28
*** pvanhoof has joined #maemo00:28
DocScrutinizer05jacekowski: Nokia-affiliates has only normal expired private key to sign SSU with00:29
DocScrutinizer05We need to update that pubkey to a extended validity date, and for that we need signature from SW-admin private-key00:29
DocScrutinizer05which is owned by Nokia-Core, not affiliates00:30
DocScrutinizer05to install a new cert with extended validity, that package needs to get signed by a valid key which is SW-adm-key00:31
PaliDocScrutinizer05, from matti's mails I understand that he know how to fix this it but he wrote that that swadmin key is used somewhere in nokia and he needs permission to use it00:31
DocScrutinizer05exactly00:31
*** florian has quit IRC00:31
jacekowskino00:32
jacekowskiall you have to do is edit the expired key and then send it to key servers00:32
DocScrutinizer05that's why I suggest to send a detailed instruction how to go alternative path and send file to key for signature and then get signed file back. since I guess NokiaCore won't grant access/permission for SW-adm key to Matti00:32
jacekowskiand then somehow device has to find out that key is updated00:32
keriojacekowski: and then tell the n900 users to download the updated key?00:32
*** hardaker has joined #maemo00:33
kerioyou're funny00:33
DocScrutinizer05jacekowski: somehow, yeah00:33
keriothe whole point is that we want to avoid that00:33
Palijacekowski, chicken & egg problem00:33
Paliyou cannot update gpg key without working ssu repo and you cannot update ssu repo without working gpg key...00:33
*** pvanhoof has quit IRC00:33
keriobecause it's basically just a matter of trying to avoid having to poison n900-fmrx-enabler in extras00:33
Palijacekowski, and now gpg key is not working, so ssu repo is not working00:34
DocScrutinizer05Pali: kerio: please write up an alternative suggestion that does _not_ involve Matti getting possession of SW-adm privkey00:34
PaliDocScrutinizer05, without access to nokia server, there is no alternative solution00:34
jacekowskikerio: why fmrx-enabler?00:35
DocScrutinizer05it goes like "matti sends xy file to NokiaCore. NokiaCore signs xy file with SW-adm key and sends back to Matti. Matti does...."00:35
PaliDocScrutinizer05, nokia must update that invalid key (change it or exdent expiration)00:35
Paliwe cannot do anything with expired gpg key00:35
keriojacekowski: because it's from extras00:35
kerioand we control extras00:35
PaliDocScrutinizer05, matti has that gpg key00:36
kerioHAM will ignore updates to packages that are originally from dmnc that come from extras00:36
Paliso he can sign repos00:36
DocScrutinizer05no, you said he doesn't00:36
PaliDocScrutinizer05, matti needs permission from nokia to do that00:36
DocScrutinizer05believe me, that might mean he does NOT have access to SW-adm-prickey, and that "permission2 implies he thinks Nokia will send that privkey to him for usage00:37
freemangordon"I get comments from time to time expressing the mistaken notion that Hildon Foundation was founded just to save maemo.org, and it is not limited in that way."00:37
freemangordonWTF?00:37
DocScrutinizer05so the whole thing might never happen00:38
jacekowskiso the plan would be to sign repo with sw-adm key and distribute package with updated ssu key that way?00:38
DocScrutinizer05unless we suggest a way how somebody else (here: NokiaCore) can use the SW-adm privkey to some file Matti sent00:38
keriojacekowski: the plan would be to sign repo with sw-adm key00:38
kerioperiod00:38
jacekowskiand then what?00:38
*** NIN101 has quit IRC00:38
jacekowskiwhat if we want to change it00:39
keriothis is download.maemo.nokia.com00:39
freemangordonjacekowski: nothing, it will start to work00:39
keriothey won't change jack shit in it, realistically00:39
PaliDocScrutinizer05, look at matti email, he wrote that he has that key00:39
freemangordonjacekowski: RMO is a different animal00:39
DocScrutinizer05jacekowski: the idea is to distribute an updated standard key via that new repo "revision" signed by SW-adm key00:39
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: we don;t really need that00:39
DocScrutinizer05Pali: No, he said "we have that key", which can mean that NokiaCore has it00:40
kerioDocScrutinizer05: that Matti dude already said that there's no way whatsoever to prepare a new PR00:40
jacekowskiis extras repo enabled by default on n900 (not extras devel)00:40
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: I doubt nokia will make an effort to make a new PR00:40
keriojacekowski: it is in pr1.2 onwards00:40
DocScrutinizer05we don't need "a new PR"00:41
kerioDocScrutinizer05: nokia doesn't release updates to single packages00:41
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: sure, but distribution of a new key means PR00:41
DocScrutinizer05we need a new cert delivered via SSU00:41
jacekowskiso why don't we just distribute some core package in version 999999 using extras repo00:41
kerioeven for maemosec-certman they made a new pr00:41
PaliDocScrutinizer05, I understand that matti has that key. but I sent new email so we can wait for responce00:41
keriojacekowski: because HAM will ignore it00:41
jacekowskiwhy?00:41
jacekowskiwe can sign extras00:41
keriobecause of the fucking trust bullshit HAM does00:41
freemangordonbecause it is the way HAM works00:41
PaliI can ask him what is true (if he has key or not)00:41
keriofreemangordon: "fucking trust bullshit" is the correct term, please be precise00:42
DocScrutinizer05Pali: if you don't believe in my view on what this kind of mails means, then too bad00:42
freemangordonkerio: ok, ok :)00:42
jacekowskiwhat trust stuff00:42
keriojacekowski: HAM has something similar to apt pinning00:42
jacekowskiit's a normal package signed with *trusted* key00:42
freemangordonjacekowski: we *MIGHT* be able to do that, by using fmrx-enabler00:42
DocScrutinizer05for me the fact that nothing happened since 6 weeks is obvious indication of what's actually going on00:42
freemangordonbut that wont reach 100% of the devices00:42
kerioit's a normal package signed with a trusted key in a domain with trust level lower than nokia-system00:42
kerioHAM /will/ ignore that package00:43
freemangordonkerio: fmtx-enabler?00:43
DocScrutinizer05Nokia will never allow to use SWadm key as standard signing key used on buildserver00:43
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: they don;t need it on their build server00:43
kerion900-fmtx-enabler comes from extras, so we could abuse that, but it's awful00:43
freemangordonkerio: it is in PR too00:43
kerioer, fmrx-enabler00:43
keriofreemangordon: is it?00:43
freemangordonkerio: so I am not sure what will be the outcome00:44
freemangordonkerio: yes00:44
keriourgh, the highest version is from dmnc00:44
*** rcg has quit IRC00:44
kerioso that's probably bunk00:44
freemangordonbut I remember seeing it in HAM00:44
freemangordonwhen upgrading pr1.2 -> pr1.300:44
keriofreemangordon: because it's a user package00:44
keriothat's irrelevant00:44
freemangordonkerio: so maybe it will work after all00:44
keriofreemangordon: HAM will only *increase* the trust level of a package00:45
kerionever decrease it00:45
freemangordonkerio: but right now nokia repo has 0 trust IIUC00:45
keriothe package is at trust level 60000:45
freemangordonhmm, yes00:45
kerioif we had a virgin n900 we could check00:45
*** jrocha has quit IRC00:45
DocScrutinizer05we need a package that deploys new cert for standard key, in *some* pkg in SSU so it propagates to all devices. Then this new version of repo needs to get signed with SWadm key00:45
kerioDocScrutinizer05: why hello there00:45
keriodo you have a completely vanilla n900?00:46
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: no way nokia to release a single package00:46
*** _rd has quit IRC00:46
DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: why?00:46
jacekowskiwell, thing is why do we care about ssu?00:46
keriojacekowski: you know, i'm not entirely sure00:47
jacekowskifor newly flashed devices, we can update fiasco with our keys00:47
Paliall: I think that we can wait until matti wrote response00:47
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: remember what that nokian said - n900 is on some "aftermarket" support00:47
Paliwith invalid gpg key we cannot do nothing00:47
DocScrutinizer05jacekowski: because no friggin luser can update/reinstall anything from Nokia repos anymore00:47
kerioDocScrutinizer05: fwiw users aren't supposed to00:47
jacekowskiand all other devices have up to date stuff from nokia repos00:47
freemangordonjacekowski: you can't even upgrade to PR1.3 after flashing00:47
keriothe main issue is a user buying a new n900 or reflashing it and then not updating to 1.3.100:48
keriobut then again, 1.3.1 won't help them against TURKTRUST anyway00:48
jacekowskiwe can modify PR1.2 image to have our key00:48
DocScrutinizer05dafaq!00:48
keriodafaq, indeed00:48
DocScrutinizer05THAT's something Nokia will NOT do for us00:48
kerioDocScrutinizer05: couldn't we use the excuse of turktrust to get nokia to release a security update?00:48
Palijacekowski, but this does not change gpg signature on nokia server!00:49
DocScrutinizer05sure00:49
DocScrutinizer05which is why they came to us00:49
jacekowskiPali: move shit to our servers00:49
freemangordonkerio: all of the maemo knowhow is non-existent in Nokia anymore00:49
Palikerio, I think no, because support for n900 finished...00:49
freemangordonthey just don;t know how to make a PR, I bet00:49
keriomassive security issue on a nokia product!00:49
freemangordonPali: it is not00:49
freemangordonthere are still devices in warranty00:49
*** Martix has quit IRC00:49
Palitablets-dev is down00:50
freemangordonsince forever :)00:50
PaliI think that nokia care can work without gpg key00:50
Palithey have pr 1.3.1 fiasco images00:50
Pali(I have it too)00:50
freemangordonwhat?00:50
freemangordonooh00:50
*** pcfe` has quit IRC00:50
*** pcfe has joined #maemo00:51
*** pcfe has quit IRC00:51
*** pcfe has joined #maemo00:51
jacekowskii think, correct way to deal with it would be to modify 1.2 image and change https://downloads.m00:51
freemangordonhmm, that might work00:51
keriojacekowski: why 1.2?00:51
kerio:s00:51
jacekowskithat's the latest "official" one00:51
freemangordonyes, why PR1.200:51
freemangordon?00:51
DocScrutinizer051,2?????00:51
freemangordonjacekowski: no, it is PR1.300:51
kerioalso, again - this is not an issue for any "future" release we make00:51
PaliDocScrutinizer05, what about publishing pr1.3.1 fiasco image??00:51
freemangordonPali: with fixed keys?00:51
keriohell, we could put cssu-stable in there with fixed keys and all that jazz00:51
Paliwith that security update?00:51
DocScrutinizer05nice but not exacly a root solution00:51
keriothe issue is existing n900s in the hand of lusers00:52
Palibecause people cannot update to pr1.3.100:52
kerio(they do exist!)00:52
jacekowskii think, correct way to deal with it would be to modify 1.2 image and change https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/apps/ ./ to like  https://nokia.maemo.org/fremantle/ssu/apps/00:52
jacekowskiand change nokia key to our key00:52
Paliand pr1.3.1 is security update00:52
DocScrutinizer05WTF !:"????00:52
DocScrutinizer051.2 even00:52
jacekowskior even 1.3.100:52
DocScrutinizer05we got PR1.3 fiasco00:52
jacekowskibut then, 1.3.1 will never need SSU00:53
DocScrutinizer05and we got NO PR1.3.1 fiasco00:53
PaliI have it00:53
jacekowskiwe can make one00:53
Paliand it can be downloaded from nokia.com00:53
DocScrutinizer05thus when somebody reflashes, he can't update to PR1.3.100:53
jacekowskiwe can make 1.3.1 fiasco00:53
jacekowskior 1.5 if we want to00:53
DocScrutinizer05so what?00:54
PaliI *have* official nokia pr 1.3.1 image!00:54
DocScrutinizer05we want SSU fixed00:54
*** narcos has joined #maemo00:54
PaliDocScrutinizer05, wait for matti email00:55
*** Vlad_on_the_road has quit IRC00:55
DocScrutinizer05we can create a pr1.3.1 any time, and provide it, or use the existing one (first time I hear of it) - but that's absolutely unrelated to our expired-key issue with Matti00:55
jacekowskiif we have latest fiasco image we don't need SSU anymore00:55
jacekowskiit's not like anything is going to be ever released through there00:56
Palijacekowski, we need ssu00:56
Palissu has packages which are not in fiasco image00:56
Paliand some extras apps depends on them00:56
DocScrutinizer05what you suggested to Matti so far been "use SW-adm key instead of SSU key" which implies that SW-adm key would get installed unlocked and with password on production server to resign the repo00:56
Paliso you will not able to install more extras packages00:56
DocScrutinizer05we need to offer an alternative since that will *not* happen00:57
jacekowskiDocScrutinizer05: no00:57
jacekowskiDocScrutinizer05: all they have to do is sign one file with SW-adm key00:57
jacekowskiPali: what about moving that stuff into extras00:57
DocScrutinizer05jacekowski: yes, *I* know that00:57
PaliDocScrutinizer05, I think you do not understand how apt gpg working00:57
DocScrutinizer05but matti does NOT know it, believe me00:58
DocScrutinizer05Pali: ooh, i don't ??00:58
PaliDocScrutinizer05, what what matti wrote and we can ask him more00:58
Palior write possible solutions00:58
DocScrutinizer05you see what matti wrote last two answers00:58
Paliyes I see and I think he know how to update it00:59
DocScrutinizer05if you don't trust in my capabilities to read and interprete such mails....00:59
DocScrutinizer05I tell you he doesn't00:59
Paliok, I will wait for answer00:59
jacekowskithere is another option00:59
jacekowskiwe can factorize that key01:00
DocScrutinizer05I can already tell you his answer: "we're still thinking. there were more important things"01:00
Palijacekowski, I will look at that key01:00
DocScrutinizer05now, you know the answer he'll send on tuesday, what you gonna do?01:00
jacekowskiwell, do we know physical location of that key01:01
Palijacekowski: 1024bit DSA01:01
DocScrutinizer05"we are thinking" means they don't exactly understand how to proceed01:01
jacekowskican we apply rubberhose cryptoanalysis?01:01
keriopffft01:02
RST38hthermorectal cryptoanalysis you mean?01:02
kerioi feel that maemo could go much better if we had access to a ninja squad to storm the nokia HQ and steal the source code01:02
DocScrutinizer05and "we are thinking2 been exactly their last two answers01:02
kerioDocScrutinizer05: how good do you look in a black ninja suit?01:03
DocScrutinizer05watch my "avatar" on tmo. Do you think I'm one of the guys that need a black ninja siut?01:03
DocScrutinizer05in the "company" wwe have othwer dresscode01:04
RST38hleather?01:04
DocScrutinizer05if needed, eventually also leather (mostly jacket) - but "the men in black" term been minted for a reason01:05
DocScrutinizer05and plack doesn't imply ninja siut01:06
DocScrutinizer05black* (damn)01:06
DocScrutinizer05honestly, our suggestion to Matti been bogus. a proper fix needs a new cert deployed fro standard key which holds valid for another few years. Simply resigning current repo with SWadm key doesn't really fix stuff01:08
*** konelix__ has joined #maemo01:08
*** konelix_ has quit IRC01:09
Palijacekowski, key is DES1 (1024 bit) with SHA1 self signature01:09
DocScrutinizer05since for next change that might be needed we again face same problem that we don't have access to SWadm private key01:09
DocScrutinizer05and I bet Nokia(Matti) came to us asking for that expired-key issue *because* they want to deploy a turksat security update01:10
DocScrutinizer05so pretty please rethink your suggestions to Matti and adapt them accordingly, so we get a *roper* fix incl ned standard cert for SSU/Nokia repo, plus no implied need to install SWadm privkey to production server (which won't happen, and yes it's not needed but that's what Nokia did so far with keys for repos, so they assume it's same deal with SWadm key as well)01:12

Woody14619sigh... OptFS, filesystem corrupt.  Too many errors, trialocated block could not be resolved?  This sounds not good.01:16
ShadowJKSounds like the time I ran fsck on optfs01:17
Woody14619Make a backup first. :)01:17
Woody14619Went to make my montly backup and it errored about 50 files for "stale NFS handle".01:18
Woody14619Which is why I went to fsck in the first place.01:18
Woody14619I'm hoping restoring Feb's backup and overlaying the one I just did on top of it will fix it.01:19

Estel_divVerent,  for photos and other sensitive thing, I use truecrypt on N90005:05
Estel_separate partition05:05
Estel_+ startup script at boot time which asks for passwords and keyfiles05:05
Estel_then, addressbook, mail things etc were moved to truecrypt partition and symlinked05:06
Estel_sms database05:06
Estel_generally, everything worth keeping private05:06
Estel_now, N900 is so kind, that after boot, it wait a minute or so before polling things like addressbook (unless you open it manually)05:06
Estel_so you have plenty of time to fill password and keys05:07
Estel_if not done in those minute (or two or three, cant remember) hildon split some pop-up errors, then, everything act like on fresh device - no contacts, bo sms, no mails, no anything05:07
Estel_new ones are saved for runtime, but dissapear after reboot - unless I provide password for truecrypt, which of course bring back my things on place, automagically. Very conveinent05:08
Estel_CSSU cam, (by my suggestion, btw ;) ) use config file that allow you to provide path where photos should be saved05:08
Estel_so videos and photos went to truecrypt partition too05:09
Estel_divVerent,  ^^^05:09
Estel_~truecrypt05:09
infobotit has been said that truecrypt is http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=8143505:09
Estel_IMo very conveinent way. Everything explained there, including how to make sure partition gets unmounted in cause of thievery05:10
*** FlameReaper has joined #maemo05:10
Estel_(getting rid of lockcode require at least one reboot, so automounted partition get unmounted)05:10
Estel_now as for regular system security, there are things fools do to have password requiment for root, but as said, no shadow, so it's worth shit05:12
Estel_and rootsh, while seems like broken concept, in practice just work, without unneeded complications that doesn't give any *real* security05:12
Estel_OTOH, your point about browser exploit is interesting and I don't care if N900 is unlikely the target05:13
Estel_if something can be made better/more secure, it's worth it05:13
Estel_but even in this case fool's messing with duplicating root security are futile, as no shadow (I know, there is more than that, but it pretty sums it to conclusion).05:14
Estel_kerio,  any ideas, how one could harden it against browser exploits, leaving alone poor HAM that is so broken, that I would never regret getting rid of it completely?05:15
Estel_every 1 is asleep, it seems ;) have good night, folks.05:16

thomasjfoxis a donation to the hildon foundation eligible for tax deduction?13:53
*** MrPingu_ has quit IRC13:54

thomasjfoxhmm since the hildon foundation is a non-profit organization, donations -should- be eligble for tax deduction. I'll give it a try.14:00
thomasjfoxonly thing seems to be that some German tax offices don't accept the paypal transfer for it. Let's see if they act up next year :o)14:04

XATRIXHi guys, any idea how can i initiate skype video call from my handset ?14:25
XATRIXI can only start IM or voice call14:26
XATRIXBut sometimes, after a few video calls, i can initiate it by myself14:26
XATRIXBut i can't track it , how did i do it14:26
DocScrutinizer05thomasjfox: no, and actually HiFo didn't even bother to update their donations list since 6 weeks. *I* would think twice14:26
thomasjfoxworst think that can happen is that they don't recognize it. Since the amount is below $100, it won't kill me.14:28
DocScrutinizer05worst thing that can happen is that HiFo drools over the money while techstaff pays HDD from own pocket since dealing with HiFo is simply not worth the hassle14:29

thedead1440Macer: it all depends on location and sellers. I just did a simple ebay.com search now and N8 buy it now is going for even $110 while most are around the $240-$270 range. The cheapest N9 for buy it now starts at $24017:54
Macerthat's its biggest drawback17:54
Macerthedead1440: oh i just looked it up on amazon17:54

thedead1440singapore beat the swiss ;)17:56
Macerafter that the swiss probably lost half its banking industry17:57
Macerhahaha17:57
Macerits main draw was that they were strictly confidential regardless of circumstances17:57

thedead1440nah the govt won't allow it to beat the US$; you don't want to chase away Exxon and the likes18:07
Macerit's amazing the world keeps its head in the sand about the state of the US economy18:07
Macerit is an absolute nightmare here .. and our govt is skewing the unemployment numbers to make things look ok18:08
Macerit's like soviet russia18:08
Macerthey said it is down nationally to 7.6% i believe, but those numbers don't reflect the people who have run out of unemployment benefits and simply gave up on looking anymore18:08
thedead1440well its the USA; everyone has interests in it not dying off so its artificially propped up in a way18:09

*** hardaker has quit IRC18:09

Macerif you were to lump it all together you'd probably have around 30-40% of the US being "poor"18:10
thedead1440yeah its a sad state of affairs18:10
Macermeaning our govt is paying for roughly that many people to survive18:11
thedead1440unfortunately its the middle and lower groups who are squeezed18:11

thedead1440loll18:11
Macerhonestly it isn't someone filing for welfare that gets on my nerves18:12
Macerit happens. it is meant for just that occasion18:12
Macerit is the abuse of it where you have individuals who have the cradle to grave mentality and are born on welfare and stay on it until they die18:13
thedead1440true18:13
thedead1440well that happens in a welfare state18:13
thedead1440things always have pros and cons18:13
Maceri have no problem with anybody who uses welfare for a short period until the economy bounces back etc.. like i said.. it is exactly how it is meant to be used18:13
Maceri know someone who had to do that18:13
thedead1440here you don't have any welfare. All welfare is the 20% of salary you paid to your own fund monthly and the govt decides how much you can take out of it at which time of your life. So no govt welfare but your own money you are limited on its options18:14

keriohm, tracker does his thing in ~21:39
tx0hwell, i think i will go for it. i guess i can't brick with that21:42
Estel_tx0h,  while I would recommend doing it in live system, I sympatize with your "lets do it and see what heppens, as there is no technical proof that it won't work"21:50
Estel_(especially, that it's not my system :P)21:51
Estel_just tell us how it ended, Ok? I suspect you'll be allright21:51
Estel_for future, not including mountpoints in backup speed things up, especially, if you may have - again, in future- much more thing in mydocs21:51
tx0hwell, actually i struggle with unmounting /opt21:51
Estel_no much reason to include it in casual backup21:51
*** pvanhoof has quit IRC21:52
Estel_during runtime of hildon?21:52
Estel_dont do that21:52
Estel_just exclude thing you dont want from backup21:52
Estel_btw, never heard of backupmenu? :P21:52
Estel_it is program that would do all of it for you21:52
tx0hsure, but i don't know if it supports nfs21:52
Estel_where do you have nfs21:52
tx0hon my desktop21:53
Estel_backupmenu doesn't have anything to do with your desktop21:53
tx0hsee21:53
Estel_it backups your root and home to mydocs or sd card21:53
tx0hthats why i don't use it21:53
Estel_on device21:53
Estel_no desktop involved21:53
Estel_well, any reason for not using sd card to store backup and restore it later? ;)21:54
tx0hi don't have a sd card. and backupmenu didn't support nfs21:54
Estel_so backup to mydocs and move file to desktop, later21:54
*** tzafrir_laptop has joined #maemo21:54
tx0hbut i have a backup already21:54
Estel_btw backupmenu support whatever you mod it to support, I've included ext4 for my personal use21:54
Estel_well21:55
Estel_so why unmounting opt for a life of you?21:55
Estel_sixwheeledbeast,  managed to get rid of screw in screen?21:55
Estel_I had same problem with perfectly circular screw once, and no left drill at hand, so could share experiences if needed.21:55
Estel_tx0h,  what you want to do is get backupmenu, and either do it's backup or - if you want to use one backup you have already - enable backupmenu's mass storage mode...21:57
Estel_which export all partitions, including mmcblk0p2, to your deskto21:57
Estel_there, using gparted or whatever, change partition layout21:57
Estel_if you're wise boy, you have backupmenu backup and mydocs backuped separately, so you can, instead of time-consuming resizing, just create new partition table on device21:58
Estel_with any layout you feel fancy21:58
Estel_I have 7 partitions on eMMC ;)21:58
*** Vlad_on_the_road has quit IRC21:59
Estel_then you just restore backup and everything is done21:59
Estel_this way I use to repartition one N900 using no desktop, just another N90021:59
Estel_using easy debian's gparted and hostmode21:59
Estel_I even use modified backupmenu for migrating to ext4 home at the same time22:00
Estel_I replace backupmenu files with ones that have all my mkfs time and mountime optimizations, then, I modify mount-opts and genfstab.awk to support ext4 (during runtime of device with ext3, as it's important on boot only)22:01
tx0hwith backupmenu i can edit the partitions of /dev/mmcblk0 ??22:01
tx0hon my desktop?22:01
Estel_then I reboot into backupmenu, do backup (that include files for mount with ext4, as they were modified before reboot), connect device to another device and create new partition table, then, I restore backup using backupmenu22:02
Estel_10 minutes and device repartitioned + filesystem for home changed, without involving desktop at all, yet, still using nice gui tools for creating partition layout22:02
Estel_tx0h,  yes22:02
tx0hand i can mount all the partitions on my desktop?22:02
*** pvanhoof has joined #maemo22:02
Estel_well, without backupmenu you can do it to, but editing mmcblk0p2 during device runtime with X and hildon and things would be catastrophic22:03
Estel_tx0h,  yes22:03
Estel_absolutely all partitions22:03
tx0hi tried that before but i just could mount MyDocs22:03
Estel_there is option "mass storage mode" for read only or for read and write in backupmenu, whoich safely exports all partitions as mass storage22:03
Estel_safely, because it's not regular maemo runtime, so you can mess with mmcblk0p2 too22:03
Estel_never heard about any problems with it, so i suspect user-error ;)22:04
Estel_also, be sure to use linux on desktoop, as windoze won't know what to do with ext home22:04
Estel_even less let you create new partition table, properly22:05
Estel_if you don't have linux dektop, use livecd (I recommend aptosid)22:05
*** thopiekar has joined #maemo22:05
tx0hi connected the phone via usb to my laptop and saw sdb and sdc but could only mount sdb (MyDocs)22:05

Estel_and sdc is microsd :P22:05
*** vblazquez has quit IRC22:05
Estel_+, under linux, and using backupmenu mass storage mode, you will see things like sdb1, sdb2, sdb3...22:06

tx0haha, but then i did not got the whole disk and even not /home itself22:06

Estel_btw sdb is pure example, it may be whatever, depending on your disk's layout22:07
tx0hsure22:07
Estel_without experience with messing with it via terminal, better use gparted22:07
tx0hwell, i do unix/linux since 30 years22:08
Estel_I have experience with terminal partitioning, yet still it's faster and less error prone to use good'old'gparted22:08
Estel_:)22:08
*** pvanhoof has quit IRC22:08

Estel_well, then you should be coding kernel for us, instead of asking about basics :P22:08
Estel_(joking)22:08
sixwheeledbeastEstel_: well stuck in there but not too worried tbh22:09
Estel_sixwheeledbeast,  what I used is hard screwdriver (prefferably flat), small enough to fit into screw22:09
Estel_more sharp one, the better22:09
tx0hok, i will try the backupmenu and see if i can get the mmc on my host22:09
Estel_and *carefully* hammer it a little into screw. Doing it right, no chances to punctuate screw22:10
Estel_then, carefully, you should be able to unscrew it22:10
Estel_you need to cut a little into screw, it's not hardest one on earth22:10
Estel_most screwdrivers are harder, thankfuly, so will cut inside easily22:10
Estel_then dispose of that screw :P22:10
Estel_tx0h,  sure22:10
Estel_and be supercool carefull with screwing them, they're quite soft, thats why nokia manuals say "dispose of screws" after every operation on them22:11
Estel_of course it's bullshit, and if you're carefull, screws on N900 can last eternity22:11
*** tzafrir_laptop has quit IRC22:12
Estel_just use correct screwdriver and watch for rounding22:12
sixwheeledbeastEstel_: not a chance of that working I tried alsorts when there was a head on the screw22:12
Estel_well, without head it should not hold anything22:12
sixwheeledbeasti suspect the thread was borked during manufacture22:12

*** Venusaur has quit IRC22:13

Estel_btw just few minutes ago i disassembled device to fix slider, as screen was shaking a little on it's own gravity22:16

Estel_well, some of them, yes, but lack of being real foss linux system is android fault23:36
Macerwhat is the maemo share nowadays heh23:36
Estel_with not-so-upstream kernel, and completely non GNU things above it23:36
Macerthose things are great but they end without demand23:36
Estel_well, I really don't care about what thousand of flies use to sit at.23:37
Macerif only maemo started off with a functional store and lame free apps like the talking mouse and fart app :)23:37
Estel_and you know what I mean23:37
Macerno i know exactly what you mean.. you mean the functionality of the n900 is better than newer hardware but i don't blame google for that23:37
Macerif people stoppped buying phones because of no usb host mode23:37
Macerit would be added ;)23:37
Estel_I care about my needs for device ;) personally, I also thing that cliche for real linux device is quite big, and jolla may discover it they wo't screw it23:38
Macerplus.. didn't the n900 require a bit of hackery to get the host mode working?23:38
Estel_today, many people with simillar needs for real computer are stuck on unfriendly android, not because they like it ah so much23:38
Macerhttp://hacknmod.com/hack/run-an-android-nexus-one-on-usb-host-mode/23:38
Estel_dont blame google? lately, they have removed ad-hoc wifi support from android23:39
Estel_because some idiots may fail to know when they're MITM'ed23:39
Maceron a nexus one23:39
Macerheh23:39
Estel_+ all this drm shit23:39
Maceruhm23:39
Estel_I'll leave it to ubuntu :P23:39
Macerdidn't they put it back in the latest android?23:39
*** _rd has joined #maemo23:40
Estel_no idea23:41
Estel_btw I think you're a little wrong about that invisible market hand23:41
Macerif you say so... demand dictates supply23:41
Estel_as in "if people would like this functionality, it would be added"23:41
Estel_not necessary. Take gaming market as example23:42
* Macer points at symbian and maemo and meego as examples23:42
Estel_people wish good mature RPG's or old style adventures, yet no big company make it23:42
Estel_then, new things like kickstarter appear...23:42
Estel_and one dude get few millions in a week just to make a game, before even drawing concept23:42
Estel_later, wasteland 2 is also financed before even started being manufactured...23:43
Estel_there is shitload of things like bad marketing and internal power games (Nokia)23:43
Estel_N900 was biggest success that they expected, and would be 10 times bigger if they would actually want it to be success23:43
Macermeh. the bottom line was they were losing money because apple and google kicked them in the balls and people liked flashy interfaces more than functionality23:44
Estel_instead of worrying how it will affect symbian23:44
Macerplain and simple heh23:44
Macerthey didn't start making symbian anything worthwhile until belle23:44
Estel_frankly, I blame it rather about people not even knowing about alternatives, due to terrible marketing from Nokia23:44
Macerand by then they needed an MS bailout23:44
Macerand so with it went any other mobile OS they had23:44
Macernokia didn't move fast enough when it could have due to top of the hill syndrome23:45
Macerthey thought they'd be able to quickly buy their way out of problems23:45
Estel_anyway, ammount of people starting doing own things, foss software (whole Linux!) on their own, all those 3D printers etc, tell us that "demand dictates supply" being too much a "mental shortcut"23:45
Macerthen came apple with the iphone.... that was bad enough... then came google with a much anticipated mobile OS :)23:45
Estel_for some extent it does, but not always and not in every matter23:45
Macerfor all extent it does... nobody will donate money to the world for tech ;) not willingly at least23:46
*** e-yes has quit IRC23:46
Estel_btw look at raspberry Pi and people who buy it... no single company wanted to do thing like that, too ;)23:46
Macerif we could pick and choose what we spend our taxes on there would be no DoE in the US lol23:46
Estel_well, Oi don't agree23:46
Macerpi had great demand tho23:46
Macermostly for its ability to use xbmc23:46
Macerif nobody bought it23:46
Macerit wouldn't exist23:46
Macer:)23:46
Estel_most people just doesn't see sense on taxes, due to not seeing/knowing at they're used to, or seeing them wasted23:46
Macerif people stop buying it.. it becomes obsolete23:47
Macerthis is basic economics23:47
Estel_*shrug* I see something more to drive things that I use in my life, than "if others buy itn23:47
Estel_*shrug* I see something more to drive things that I use in my life, than "if others buy it"23:47
Estel_sorry23:47
Estel_but you seem to say things that some big companies would like people to belive ;)23:47
Estel_have you never considered, that your way of thinking may be a little indoctrinated, in favor of someone else's interest?23:48
Macerlol!23:49
Macerif you think so... i say things like that because that is really how things work :)23:49
*** q_plaz has joined #maemo23:49
Estel_well, everything is relative23:49
Estel_100 years before, many things were belived to "just work like that" in favor of indujstralism23:50
Estel_two great war changed many things23:50
*** eijk__ has joined #maemo23:50
*** eijk_ has quit IRC23:50
Estel_300 years ago, for many people, king was touched by god himself, and it was "how things work"23:50
SpeedEvilThe market can be malfuncional.23:50
Estel_always in someone's interest ;)23:50
*** muellisoft is now known as Muelli23:50
Estel_exactly.23:50
MacerSpeedEvil: i wouldn't say malfunctional :)23:51
SpeedEvilLook, for example at lcds.23:51
SpeedEvilWhere can I buy a 4:3 display? Or a 140dpi desktop display23:51
Estel_market could have fix everything magically in theoretical examples of ideal world23:51
Macerthe market just sometimes has an awkward way of correcting itself23:51
SpeedEvilThey are essentially unavailable.23:51
Estel_where decisions would be made with 100% knowledge of subject23:51
freemangordonSpeedEvil: and this is the exact reason I am still using my 2001 laptop23:52
Macernot to mention that the too big to fail banks are ridiculously oversized and the manner in which our government creates money is retarded lol23:52
freemangordon4:3 screen ;)23:52
Estel_it doesn't include armies of lobbyists, etc23:52
Macerbut from the basic manufacturer/consumer standpoint23:52
Macerif people want it they buy it23:52
Macerso make more of it23:52
Macerif they don't make less23:52
Macerthis holds true regardless of wall street23:52
Macerand always has23:52
Estel_Well, I think that in world where consumer avariness rises, and things like crowd-funding or self-manufacturing becomes more common, many things are going to look brighter23:52
SpeedEvilPeople are not always presented with stuff they want to buy23:53
Estel_Macer,  no. People choose only from available things23:53
Estel_even if they would like something very different.23:53
MacerEstel_: n900 was widely available23:53
Macer:)23:53
SpeedEvilFor LCDs, for example, there is a truly massive investment needed to go into making new panels.23:53
Estel_it require more than market - like passion, or beliving in ideas, to create something different and bring it into market.23:53
Macersales in comparison to the G1 for instance23:53
Macerthe G1 outsold the N900 like 100:1 heh23:54
Estel_Macer,  and it was more success than Nokia would like to, at that time23:54
Estel_same for, lets say, nokia pureview23:54
Estel_they did everything they could to discourage buyers23:54
freemangordonMacer: n900 was not backed up by Nokia23:54
freemangordonEstel_: :nod:23:54
Maceroh here we go with the nokia conspiracy theories :)23:54
Estel_its well known fact23:54
Estel_nopt conspiracy23:54
freemangordonMacer: this is not conspiracy23:54
Macerand after that it was learned that nokia, was in fact, responsible for 9/1123:54
Estel_many nokia employess officially confirmed most of it23:54
SpeedEvilSeveral months in, things cooled dramatically.23:55
Estel_ex-employees ;)23:55
Macermany "former" i'm sure23:55
Macerlol23:55
SpeedEvilStupid stuff like the store not working.23:55
Macerand after that they said the CEO has sex with interns and men?23:55
freemangordonMacer: remeber elop saying that no matter what, n9 will be the last meego device?23:55
Estel_well, fact is that for some countries, there were 8 nokia pureviews available23:55
Maceri like my e7.. loved my n90023:55
Estel_and people paid 5-6 times the price on ebay for them23:55
SpeedEvilAnd people being actively discouraged from launching software for n900.23:55
Macerbut i can't buy into the nokia made themselves fail on purpose theory haha23:55
Estel_conspiracy of ebay buyers? ;)23:55
freemangordonMacer: remember in which countries was n9 available in?23:55
Macerfreemangordon: finland... and ... greenland?23:56
Macer:)23:56
SpeedEvilMacer: You're supposing 'Nokia' is one thing.23:56
Estel_Macer,  dont you realize how bad decisions, human errors, power games, bad management etc can sinkl a company?23:56
freemangordonand bulkgaria and khazahstan23:56
freemangordon*bulgaria23:56
Macerkhazahstan!!23:56
Estel_as for N900, it's said from many different sources, that they were concerned how it will affect sumbian (which was leader, then)23:57
Estel_btw remember petitions to have N9 in some country?23:57
Estel_and lack of support to N900 in many areas ;)23:57
freemangordonMacer: sorry for the typos, it is kazakhstan23:57
Maceryeah23:57
Maceri thought there was another k in there somewhere23:57
Estel_compare it to success of Pi, and interest in vivaldi, even given fact that the latter never appeared23:58
Macersorry but that sounds like a comp out for supporters to explain why their device is already obsolete with no new models out :)23:58
Estel_I'm quite certain that niche for "geek mobile computers" is not lesser than for overpriced apple shit23:58
Macerlike a year after mine when i had just had my n810 abandoned23:58
SpeedEvilIt's internal politics.23:58
Macerjust to have the n900 abandoned lol23:58
Macerthe shit just wasn't selling23:58
Estel_people are dying for anything that promises FOSS mobile computer23:58
Macersymbian was probably their best bet23:58
Estel_inmcluding some cons23:59
MacerEstel_: maemo was anything but23:59
Macerlol23:59
Maceri used to come in here23:59
Macerlistening to disgruntled devs all day23:59
freemangordonMacer: ooh, and symbian was abandoned because of the market?23:59
SpeedEvilMaemo was probably the closest we've gotten so far.23:59
Macerfreemangordon: sure. nokia lost too much money. struck a deal with MS23:59
Estel_Macer,  I think, OTOH, that you're lacking knowledge about maaany events and technical decisions...23:59
SpeedEvilIt's a hell of a lot more linux-like than android.23:59
