LjL-Alps1) is it typically worth to make some adjustments to the default Maemo 5 swap parameters, and if so, are the parameters suggested by Swappolube any good? 2) does compcache at least tend to not make matter worse?01:55

HtheBrobbiethe1st: hi03:59
HtheBhow are you?04:00
robbiethe1stHi there04:00
robbiethe1stDid I tell you? the second/third or w/e package didn't come as of last Sunday that i know of04:00
robbiethe1stI'll check this weekend04:00
HtheBcould be, I just had some message from ebay that they were just sent04:01
HtheB(just marked as sent)04:01
HtheBstill no hurries.. :D04:01
HtheBdont worry04:01
HtheB(thats the enjoyment of completing a collection)04:01
HtheBit takes time ^_^04:01
HtheBand patience :D04:01
robbiethe1stPatience?04:01
robbiethe1stI ain't got no patience!04:02
HtheBO_O04:02
HtheB=(04:02
robbiethe1st's why I got annoyed about not being able to pass people in my '88 Diesel truck, and threw my new turbo on last weekend04:02
robbiethe1stInstead of, you know, waiting until I had all the parts right etc.04:03
robbiethe1stSo it's missing a gasket or two, there's no exhaust in the truck..04:03
HtheBno exhaust?04:03
HtheBkinda hard to drive eh04:03
robbiethe1stWhy?04:03
robbiethe1stIt's a bit loud, but...04:03
HtheBwhat kind of a truck is it?04:04
robbiethe1stThe outflow pipe from the turbo basically stops right at the bottom of the engine. just open from there04:04
HtheBpick up?04:04
HtheBMonster truck? :D04:04

HtheByeah04:06
HtheBhow much did this cost you?04:07
robbiethe1stFree(sort of) - got it from my parents, because they weren't using it. It cost them $2500 a few years back04:07
robbiethe1stHowever, I've probably put $1500 into it so far04:08
HtheBhow much worth is it not?04:08
HtheBnow*04:08
robbiethe1stNothing? Nah, probably a good $1500, perhaps $2000 in scrap/parts04:08
robbiethe1stIt's a vehicle that will never be sold for money. It's a driver, and that's it.04:09
HtheBwell, maybe for a classic lover?04:09
robbiethe1stWhen it's no longer useful(crashed, or whatever), I'll pull whatever parts I want off of it and put it in the weeds as a spare parts truck04:09
robbiethe1stNah, these things are common as dirt over here - You can find ones in much better shape than mine on craigslist all the time04:10
robbiethe1stWhat it is, though, is a daily driver.04:10
robbiethe1stTo me, it's worth a good 5-8K+, as I'd have to spend that much to get a compariable vehicle04:10

robbiethe1stHm, a speed bump04:37

robbiethe1stSorry04:37
RST38hrobbie: What do you do with those wall switches?04:38
robbiethe1stReplace original functions - left two are Windshield wipers (on/off) (high/low)04:38
robbiethe1stThe white one is "main power", button next to it is for the starter04:39
robbiethe1stBypassed the original starter switch circuit due to the silly interlock preventing you from cranking it with the clutch out04:40
RST38hrobbie: you obviously need larger, more menacing buttons04:40
robbiethe1st(and, therefor, preventing you from moving it with the starter, if needed)04:40
robbiethe1stRST38h, yeah, I've been thinking about it04:40
RST38hstandard issue US wall switches just don't cut it04:40
robbiethe1stBut they do bring nerd cred. Nobody talks about toggle switches "Oh, it's just another toggle switch"04:41
robbiethe1stLight switches, however...04:41
robbiethe1stEveryone I've shown it to has asked about them04:41
RST38hrobbie: http://electronebo.ru/electronebo/img/pv3_16m156.jpg04:42
RST38hrobbie: and install 'em on vertical aluminium pipes painted red04:42
robbiethe1stheh04:42
robbiethe1stWhat I *really* want to do is find one of the start switches for here: http://www.purplewaveauction.com/i/a/2012/20120516midwest/V9059.JPG04:43
robbiethe1st(right side, halfway down the generator)04:43
RST38hnaaaah04:43
robbiethe1stmetal handle/knob, has off/on/start position and is just good and "solid"04:44

robbiethe1stOld ones04:45
RST38hthey don't make new ones as they used to =)04:45
robbiethe1stYeah04:45
RST38hhttp://dic.academic.ru/pictures/polytechnic/1302-40.jpg04:46
robbiethe1stHell, those house switches are probably 10-30 years old, so...04:46
RST38hactually the easiest thing will be to steal a whole trolley switch panel somewhere04:48
RST38hwith 20-30 switches on it =)04:48

wndpsycho_oreos, kerio, thanks, that's what I thought. Flash the stock image, install kp, backupmenu, restore from backup? I suppose N900 doesn't load the kernel from fs.12:41
keriownd: you suppose correctly12:42
kerioat least until the second-to-latest version, backupmenu didn't restore the kernel12:42
keriothe kernel mtd partition, that is12:42
kerioand by default, the kernel is stored there12:42
*** nun has joined #maemo12:44
kerioso to restore a backup, you have to reinstall the matching kernel manually12:44
kerioor at least A kernel with the installed modules12:44

* lexik is installing the PyBrain on his n900 now.. 13:39
* psycho_oreos ponders if its possible to add backing up of kernel as a feature request to backupmenu. /dev/mtd3 gets backed up into a file via dd and is restored via dd if somehow /dev/mtd3 has a checksum mismatch.13:40
psycho_oreoslexik, did you see my previous message about not being able to register?13:41
lexikmaybe13:41
psycho_oreosWhat do you mean maybe? that doesn't make any sense.13:41
lexikim not sure if i saw some stuff related to TMO register problems :)13:42
lexik(from you)13:42
lexiki know there is an issue on bugzilla about it13:42
lexikany news?13:42
psycho_oreosI filed a bug.13:42
psycho_oreosOne person has reported updating firefox would work to 23.013:42
psycho_oreosThere are potentially other browsers you might want to try and see if you can avert the problem.13:43
psycho_oreosI've also noted down on bugzilla a fairly comprehensive list of browsers one can try whilst on N900.13:43
lexiki know only about microb, fennec and chromium from jacekowski :) i will try some other browsers...13:44
lexikbut its weird its caused by browser13:45
lexikis it some kind of bot protection or so?13:46
lexikor "just" bug? (sry, feature?)13:46
*** zeq1 has quit IRC13:48
psycho_oreosI am not particularly sure myself, I was thinking that there might be a remote possibility to do with webkit or browser's engine to not function. Though what you mentioned maybe possible but I'm not certain on it.13:50
lexikhow i said.. i will try some other browsers (or update the chrome on the XP box) and let you know..13:51

psycho_oreosOn second thoughts about what you said to prevent spammers. I'd say it would be somewhat unlikely considering how there's people that might still be using certain versions of browsers. If that were to be the case I'm sure bugzila would be filled with <insert_name_of_browser> being banned.13:59
psycho_oreosI did see for a couple of times once the user agrees to terms and conditions, amongst all the regular things the user needs to fill out, there's a captcha image there. I'm guessing that's the only way to prevent spammers with automated registration processes.14:00

haltHi guys, I saw some demo about the maemo but cloud not find any recent phone with it, what is the most recent one,  I found one which I like but could not find anywhere ( N950 from Nokia )18:06
freemangordonhalt: get n90018:06
*** arcean has joined #maemo18:06
ShadowJKN950 was never sold18:07
freemangordonhalt: N950 has faster CPU and more RAM, but that is all it has more than n900.18:07
freemangordonShadowJK: well you can buy on ebay :)18:07
haltfreemangordon: I have one and I one to upgrade to something more decent, it's big heavy and week with the battery18:08
haltfreemangordon: I did not found any on ebay, clound you give me a link maybe ?18:08
haltShadowJK: it's just a dev device, yes I know but it's too good, to just left behind18:09
freemangordonhalt: N950 is as heavy as N900, with worse battery life ;). Last time I checked the price of new N950 was about 2000 euro18:09
freemangordonhalt: no, it just looks too good, trust me on that one, I have both n900 and n95018:10
freemangordonhonestly, the design is killer18:10
freemangordonbut that's all18:10
haltfreemangordon:  :(   it's soo said, so you saying there is no "good phones" on the market ?18:11
freemangordonhalt: depends on how you define "good phone" :)18:11
freemangordonhalt: but if you ask for a phone to replace n900 with, there is no such device IMO18:12
ShadowJKThis is why I own about 5 N900s..18:13
freemangordonShadowJK: yesterday I bought my 3rd one, for my GF :)18:14
haltfreemangordon: that's true, there are people outside who can live without an qwerty keyboard, who is happy to use an "tracked" os, and they are happy to be a marketing target, personly I will be happy even with an black&white dot screen , and stuff like that, if they will match otherwise18:14
haltShadowJK: nice collection :)18:15
ShadowJK3 of them are broken, 4th in use, 5th as spare18:15
freemangordonhalt: n900 would not become less builkier, but actually it is not that ugly. You'd better try to make it faster, if speed is your problem18:16
haltShadowJK: oh that's an othere case18:16
haltfreemangordon: it's not about the the design, i give a shit about the the design ( until a level ) but the battery time and the weight is important, actaly my current n900 just brocken now, ( the usb port lost the contact ) so if i have to buy an othere one I was hoping there is a new version or better option18:19
haltbut look like there is no better option ...18:19

Whilst black N950 were being handed out to accepted Qt developers for the (what was then the upcoming) meego platform. The silver N950 was never handed out.

*** arcean has quit IRC19:28
psycho_oreosFrom the hardware specs it seems apart from mainly the board is different and the hinges being extra on N950. It might still be remotely possible that for the remaining parts (obviously not including keyboard as well) N950 may share same parts as is with n9.19:29

psycho_oreosI personally doubt it. Though I thought there's some process (could even remotely be kernel) that would try to truncate output by beverity when it receives too much messages in a short timeframe. Then again that is mainly kernel specific stuff not really userland programs.19:41

SAiFI have both slow connections... I have to wait till I learn how to write programs.. or till some one helps..19:53
psycho_oreosThe question sort of begs as to why would you want that? having two gateways? you'll need to play with bridge mode.19:54
*** fastforward has quit IRC19:54
SAiFif its tough just drop it, i thought if there is some simple solution, I could give it  a try.19:55
SAiFwifi speeds are capped at 30kbps download after per mionth  limit is reached. and 2g also give just 30kbps.    3g prices are way too much..19:57
SAiFits one of the countries with worst internet..19:57
psycho_oreosProbably better that than being charged excessively for going over the amount, having to check their site and only to find out that there's a forewarning the quotas are not updated "live" but rather every second day.19:58
*** mavhc has quit IRC20:01
SAiF:) that type of plans in my country gives the fastest speeds. so that we could easily go over limit and they could charge as they wish..20:01
psycho_oreosThe way I understand it, if you want to use both connections simultaneously you'll need bridge-utils (or whatever it is). Plus whatever other stuff you'll need to configure (maybe stuff to do with iptables, QoS, etc).20:01
*** mavhc has joined #maemo20:01

*** ab has quit IRC20:03
psycho_oreosYup, over here (where I live) packet data has no traffic shaping rules. Meaning there's no provider that will be willing to give you 2g/2.5g/3g/3.5g or even 4g without trying rack up your money.20:03
SAiFpsycho_oreos  by the way that slider magnet issue was resolved after he placed the magnet this time..20:04
psycho_oreosI'm not sure, you'll definitely need bridging that's again if you want to use both connections simultaneously. The first thing you'll encounter is multi-gateways in your routing table which would mess programs up because they can't pick one.20:04

* psycho_oreos wonders if that is related to lack of RAM available. Sometimes when N900 is left on for a couple of days (this is with non CSSU-Thumb mind you), programs start to get progressively slower to load up. This is even more visible when receiving calls.20:12

LjL-Alps(for the record, i'm thinking about the "heart rate monitor" apps there are for other OS's, which use the white LED to shine light through your finger. now, actual pulse oxymeters are similar but use *two* frequencies of light, one infrared... this is probably crazy, but i was thinking maybe the red LED comes close enough if used together with the white one)20:35
*** win7mac has left #maemo20:36
sixwheeledbeastred led is not close to IR. IIRC you can't have flash and red led's on at the same time.20:38
*** RzR has quit IRC20:39
LjL-Alpssixwheeledbeast: ah, bummer.20:39
LjL-Alpsi know it's not really close to IR, i was just wondering that maybe two separate frequencies, even if neither of them is IR, might work20:40
sixwheeledbeastI don't understand how the device "detects" your heartrate. Led's are outputs.20:41
*** RzR has joined #maemo20:41
keriowith the camera20:42
LjL-Alpssixwheeledbeast: yeah, with the camera. it looks at subtle variations in your fingertip's color, but for that to work, there needs to be a lightsource bright enough to shine through your fingertip20:43
LjL-Alpsthe sun works, but LED flashes are usually handier ;)20:43
LjL-Alpsthese apps do work quite well in my experience20:44
sixwheeledbeastSo why does the two LED frequencies make a difference?20:45
LjL-Alpssixwheeledbeast: for just determining your heartrate, they don't, white LED works fine - but a pulse oxymeter can also tell you what the percentage of oxygen in your blood is (that's the main feature). to do that, you need to determine the color of the blood, basically, and if you only have one frequency, then you can tell "now it's brigher" and "now it's darker" but you need two to make an actual measurement20:47
LjL-Alpsnote i only know these things from Wikipedia, so what i say may not be entirely accurate20:47
sixwheeledbeastI see. However I see little need for it built in to my N900. I'd be looking for an accurate "fit-for-purpose" solution.20:49

LjL-Alpsit says "Old kernel version: U-Boot 2013.04, New kernel version: 2.6.28.10-cssu3", and that *really* seems like something i'd want to cancel20:53

Malinuxor something22:50
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: hi. are you some kind of package interface admin/tester/something?22:50
sixwheeledbeastwhy?22:50
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: why I ask...22:50
Malinuxis there a way to change the keyboard on the N900 to scandinavic or so?22:50
freemangordonis, because I looked at QA queue22:50
freemangordonthere are lots of (maybe orphaned) packages with karma > 622:51
freemangordonand noone to promote them22:51
Malinux:)22:52
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: there is an old thread on TMO with similar matter, I was wondering is it a good idea to resurrect it, now the package interface is ok22:52
freemangordonor maybe open a new thread, asking for "does anyone have objections if we promote those packages to extras" and if there are no, in a week or so, to promote those22:54
sixwheeledbeastfreemangordon: Yes and yes I think this is a good idea. Ivan and I we're pushing for maintainers a while back, DARP?22:54
Sysaxedfreemangordon: well, some phones with ubuntu edge are going to be released soon, so after somebody makes a real mobile linux OS (ubuntu edge os is going to suck for sure) we can finally switch to it.22:54

sixwheeledbeastDarp is http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-testing/Darp22:55
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: I am talking about packaes in extras-testing ;)22:56
Sysaxeduhhh, is there any way to make whole home folder to be visible from a pc, not just mydocs?22:56
freemangordonSysaxed: yep, use ssh22:56
freemangordon(or winscp if you are on windoze)22:56
sixwheeledbeastAh, ok well if they have passed QA, they "should" be stable.22:57
Sysaxedfreemangordon: of course I can access them using ssh, but I want to open it via file manager22:57
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: yep22:57
sixwheeledbeastdo you have a list of pkgs?22:57
freemangordonthere are at least 10 of those22:57

freemangordonyeah :)22:59
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: sure it would be, but...22:59
freemangordonwhat is funny, is that qwazix's rawcam is amongst those :)23:00
sixwheeledbeastI think it would also be a good idea to purge some of the broken/duplicate packages23:00

freemangordonno matter it is dead man walking for the last 2 years :D23:02
sixwheeledbeastI agree we NEED to get promotion on the go for N900 users to see orange status menu icon, FYI K9 Call is incompatible with CSSU23:03

sixwheeledbeastOpera 12 is buggy too, there maybe an issue with promoting "all" QA'ed packages, I feel.23:08
freemangordon22:54 <freemangordon> or maybe open a new thread, asking for "does anyone have objections if we promote those packages to extras" and if there are no, in a week or so, to promote those23:08
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: well, the correct way to deal for packages not suitable for extras is to vote them down23:10

freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: yeah, somemone need to test those. but it shouldn't be that hard, we talk about 10-20 packages I guess23:12
*** valeriusL has joined #maemo23:14
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: and if there is a bug not captured, it is supposed to be reported to the package maintainer. And we can withdraw a packge from extras anytime23:14
sixwheeledbeastMaybe ping the maintainers to see if they will come back and promote there product? I can start package testing again in the testing squad.23:14
freemangordonIIUC that is how package interface is supposed to work23:14
sixwheeledbeastNo good if the maintainer is AWOL23:14
sixwheeledbeastand you have promoted them.23:15
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: that would be great, I suspect the promotion not working was a big obstacle :)23:15
sixwheeledbeastbig is an understatement.23:15
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: yep, but there is always a chance someone else o take over the maintainership23:16
freemangordonyeah23:16
sixwheeledbeastSo if I list the packages for promotion and test them, post on TMO for any objections then promote or push back to devel?23:17
freemangordonyep, something like that should do the job. We should try to make the machinery running again.23:19
sixwheeledbeastI definitely can't agree to promoting them now without testing them again. I see packages I may have promoted 2 years ago, that have issues or don't work now.23:20
freemangordonafter all that was the point of community owned infra aiui23:20
freemangordonsixwheeledbeast: sure23:21
sixwheeledbeastOk well actually I could do a couple at a time and bump the TMO thread if available.23:22
freemangordonmaybe. maybe discuss with the other councilors23:24

M4rtinKfreemangordon: I have a new version about ready for release23:37
freemangordonoh, great23:37
M4rtinKhas quite a few important fixes23:37

freemangordonSygic Mobile Maps23:40
M4rtinKas long it works :)23:41
sixwheeledbeastSMM10 is easier for me to use day-to-day due to onscreen keyboard and map packs. However I love the work going into modRana I have that installed too. :)23:41
