*** Martix_ has joined #maemo00:00
*** mvp has joined #maemo00:00
*** qwazix_ has joined #maemo00:00
Win7Macah, sorry00:00
*** qwazix_ has quit IRC00:00
Win7Macso I suggest, to have community legitimacy, council decides to fund an e.V. and presents 3 EU citizens for board00:02
*** Martix has quit IRC00:03
Win7MacDocScrutinizer05, you should definetely be one of them00:04
DocScrutinizer05huh?00:04
Win7Macfor now, we just need a descision to fund an e.V. from council00:04
* DocScrutinizer05 wishes people wouldn't play shock the monkey by highlighting him with some note that has no context but sounds scary ;-P00:05
Win7Macotherwise it'd be like some 7 guys decide to do whatever, which has no community-legitimacy...00:06
Win7Mac"shock the monkey"... LOL, sorry00:06
DocScrutinizer05np00:07
Win7Macwe need 7 peeps for funding with at least 1 director00:07
DocScrutinizer05just realized that the screen popup for highlights sometimes is annoying00:07
Win7Macde-opt it00:08
DocScrutinizer05thought as much. and prolla all EU-residents, eh?00:08
Win7Macno00:08
DocScrutinizer05prolly*00:08
Win7Macvery good resource: http://www.buergergesellschaft.de/praxishilfen/arbeit-im-verein/fragen-antworten/expertenfeedback-kategorieansicht/107222/?tx_ttnews[cat]=110&no_cache=100:08
DocScrutinizer05tldr00:08
DocScrutinizer05gimme summary00:09
DocScrutinizer05I had my share of reading about e.V. laws, some 8..12 weeks ago00:09
Win7Macnot a summary, but answers to basic questions: http://www.buergergesellschaft.de/praxishilfen/arbeit-im-verein/fragen-antworten/expertenfeedback-kategorieansicht/107222/?tx_ttnews[cat]=105&no_cache=100:10
DocScrutinizer05also on some other occasions in my past00:10
DocScrutinizer05I have no basic question00:10
Win7Macplease look at it00:10
Win7Macsame 3 QAs + 2: http://www.buergergesellschaft.de/praxishilfen/arbeit-im-verein/fragen-antworten/expertenfeedback-kategorieansicht/107222/?tx_ttnews[cat]=95&no_cache=100:12
Win7Macrather weird way of sorting them without direct links to the answers00:12
Win7Macregarding board has to be available in EU see only question "Standort" here: http://www.buergergesellschaft.de/praxishilfen/arbeit-im-verein/fragen-antworten/expertenfeedback-kategorieansicht/107222/?tx_ttnews[cat]=112&no_cache=100:15
Win7MacBoard can be foreigners, but have to live in EU00:18
dos1me, me, choose me! (I don't know what's going on, but being in board sounds nice :3)00:20
Win7Macwhere do you live?00:20
dos1but probably it's not when you really want to get stuff done I guess ;]00:20
dos1Poland00:20
DocScrutinizer05[2013-08-28 23:08:14] <DocScrutinizer05> thought as much. and prolly all EU-residents, eh? [2013-08-28 23:08:20] <Win7Mac> no [2013-08-28 23:18:22] <Win7Mac> Board can be foreigners, but have to live in EU00:21
DocScrutinizer05~dict resident00:21
infobotDictionary 'resident' (1 of 8): a physician (especially an intern) who lives in a hospital and cares for hospitalized patients under the supervision of the medical staff of the hospital; "the resident was receiving special clinical training at the hospital" .00:21
DocScrutinizer05~dict 2 resident00:21
infobot[2/8] \Res"i*dent\, n. 1. One who resides or dwells in a place for some time. [1913 Webster] 2. A diplomatic representative who resides at a foreign court; -- a term usualy applied to ministers of a rank inferior to that of ambassadors. See the Note under {Minister}, 4. [1913 Webster]00:21
Win7Macok ok ;)00:21
dos1is that e.V. just for attempt to get that funding money back, or for something else too?00:24
Win7Macit's meant to stay as i got it00:24
DocScrutinizer05board and council came to think that pensilvania law is a PITA, and a german e.V. is more easy to handle and more closely meeting our needs00:25
Win7Macthough we have 501(c)(3) status for US I believe00:25
DocScrutinizer05which is the hugest PITA of all00:25
Win7Macbad if you loose it one day...00:25
DocScrutinizer05we have same for e.V.00:26
DocScrutinizer05called "gemeinnuetzig"00:26
Win7Macright00:26
dos1ok, seems reasonable00:26
Win7Macso there's no real need for hurry, Woody will set up new bank account00:27
DocScrutinizer05you don't want to touch that with a 10" pole, unless you *really* *really* *are* "gemeinnuetzig" and need that to save taxes and sign donation-receipts00:27
Win7Mac...where we have access from germany too, hopefully00:28
DocScrutinizer05we are *not* "gemeinnuetzig"00:28
Tekk_does anything go horribly wrong if I enable the debian armel repo?00:28
Win7Macso you mean we should fund a Verein, just not gemeinnützig?00:28
Tekk_searching on the maemo wiki for "debian" didn't seem to mention that00:28
DocScrutinizer05exactly00:28
Win7Macand you come up with that already NOW?00:29
Tekk_presumably I'd want to pin it so that I only use the debian repos if it's not in maemo ones00:29
*** konelix has joined #maemo00:29
DocScrutinizer05what? an e.V. per definition is not "gemeinnuetzig" per se00:29
qwazixTekk_, don't do that00:29
Tekk_okay00:29
qwazixyou can try individual packages (most will fail with dependency issues) but don't enable the repo00:30
*** drussell has quit IRC00:30
DocScrutinizer05Tekk_: maemo is _not_ debian00:30
qwazixThe N900 (assuming you have one of those) has a very small root partition and you can very quickly fill it up if you install debian armel packages00:30
DocScrutinizer05despite it smells and tastes like debian00:30
qwazixsome debian packages work if you unpack them and run the binary00:31
DocScrutinizer05apt-get dist-upgrade nukes your system *for sure*00:31
DocScrutinizer05particularly the package management in maemo is debian on acid00:32
DocScrutinizer05some other stuff in rootfs also isn't exactly debian'ish00:32
Tekk_alright. any maemo repo happen to have emacs?00:33
DocScrutinizer05there's a chroot called easy-debian. Guess why ;-D00:33
DocScrutinizer05sure, i bet emacs available00:33
DocScrutinizer05~pkg00:33
infobot[pkg] http://maemo.org/packages/00:33
Tekk_also, there any way to search from app manager? I wasn't able to find it but I'm not too used to the maemo ui yet00:33
qwazixjust type00:34
qwazixwhen in list with all apps00:34
Tekk_cool00:34
Tekk_hmm00:34
DocScrutinizer05in some rare places (package/app manager HAM, desktop) you _ahve_ to use the hw kbd and simply type, to start a search00:35
Tekk_maemo.org is enabled, and a search in all apps doesn't find emacs00:35
Tekk_but emacs24 is shown in that search00:35
DocScrutinizer05also contacts00:35
Tekk_do I need to apt-get it or is something wrong?00:35
DocScrutinizer05check your catalogs in HAM00:35
Tekk_maemo.org enabled, freemantle-1.3 distro, free non-free components00:36
Tekk_look about right?00:36
qwazixrare? also in contacts, modest, musicplayer00:36
qwazixbasically everywhere00:36
DocScrutinizer05http://maemo.org/packages/view/emacs24/   --> extras-devel repo00:37
DocScrutinizer05you either enable extras-devel repo in your HAM (beware, it takes literally 7 minutes to update then! and you for sure want to disable it again after installing what you were interested in!), or you get the .deb and install that00:38
DocScrutinizer05http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/e/emacs24/emacs24_24.2-1_armel.deb00:39
DocScrutinizer05from http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras-devel_free_armel/emacs24/24.2-1/  via http://maemo.org/packages/view/emacs24/00:39
DocScrutinizer05you probably even can click on that *.deb URL in the browser (microB) and it should download and install the *.deb00:40
Win7Macso why no "gemeinnuetzigkeit", why the 10ft. pole? The possibility to hand out tax-relevant donation documents will for sure help raising funds00:40
DocScrutinizer05might not work, then you need to click on the downloaded file again, in filemanager00:40
DocScrutinizer05no it won't. and we ARE NOT gemeinnuetzig!00:41
DocScrutinizer05are we feeding starving children?00:41
Win7Macwe provide infra + code for community, that is gemein...00:41
DocScrutinizer05we are absolutely selfish00:41
DocScrutinizer05we have a common hobby00:42
Win7Macwe just can't earn money00:42
DocScrutinizer05but no mission to save the world00:42
Win7Mace.V.'s are fgor hobbyists00:42
DocScrutinizer05we _can_ earn money, we just have to pay tax - OMYGOD tax for 4kEUR _per_ _year_00:43
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1370258&postcount=11900:43
*** drussell has joined #maemo00:43
DocScrutinizer05prolly they will donate instead of ask for us paying some tax ;-P00:44
*** dhbiker has quit IRC00:44
DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: you should adopt the habit to add some context and explanation to your posts00:45
DocScrutinizer05and avoid code tags, they are a pita to read, with those scrollbars00:45
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: well, the thread context is clear IMO. But in case you've missed it, I got supl.nokia.com working00:46
*** NeutrinoPower has joined #maemo00:46
DocScrutinizer05uhu, I can't tell that from the post you linked00:46
DocScrutinizer05fine anyway. congrats00:46
freemangordon"Socket to supl.nokia.com opened, fd=10, verify_res=0"00:46
Siceloreally? wow... /me goes to check00:47
Win7Maci still don't get what is bad about gemeinnützig - it will save us from paying taxes *AND* allows big donations with bonus for donator00:47
Win7MacI mean, whats the plus on dropping it?00:48
*** thomasjfox_ has joined #maemo00:49
*** thomasjfox has quit IRC00:49
Win7Macbecause we *CAN* be gemeinnuetzig if we want00:50
Win7Macand our income will be from donations or fees *only*00:51
Win7Macor what am I missing?00:51
DocScrutinizer05Win7Mac: "gemeinnuetzig" means you really have to be a help to the world at large, saving starving children or the last wolpertinger. And your tax exempt results in terribly painfull controls of your finances and way more harsh and rigid rules how to run the e.V.00:57
DocScrutinizer05honestly. stay away from "gemeinnuwetzig"! it's exactly the pitfall that HiFo fell in with 501(c)300:58
Win7Macfell?00:59
Win7Macfinances? - some donations and some expenses for hardware, certificates... thats it!00:59
DocScrutinizer05sure, what do you think why 501(c)3 never got completed, and why paypal locked the account00:59
DocScrutinizer05honestly, do what you like, but don't ask me then!01:00
DocScrutinizer05:-/01:00
DocScrutinizer05FFS01:00
*** thomasjfox_ has quit IRC01:00
*** shentey has joined #maemo01:00
DocScrutinizer05I hate that "toldya" ever few days!01:01
LjL-Alpsthe N900 is a cute emulator platform thanks to its composite output :P01:04
Win7MacI'm not sure if 501(c)3 never got completed, and IIRC paypal locked the account because Rob didn't care. But I don't wanna argue, if you advise to drop it - ok, it's not nescessary at all01:07
DocScrutinizer05look wherever you like, for both 501(c)3 and gemeinnuetzig every sane howto recommends to get a *good* lawyer to get it right01:07
DocScrutinizer05http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemeinnützigkeit01:07
DocScrutinizer05buzzword "anerkannt"01:07
Win7MacPoint #15: http://vereinsknowhow.de/01:08
DocScrutinizer05I'm out01:08
Win7Macuups choose "Leifaden" from left menu01:08
DocScrutinizer05NO I WONT!!!!01:09
Win7Macaahhhh... ok, calm don't, i'll just shut up01:09
DocScrutinizer05listen buddy, I been member in a few more e.V. than this one. And every of them would for sure have lioved it to not pay taxes. But we had a lawyer to get our stuff right *despite* we were not "gemeinnuetzig"01:10
LjL-Alpsfreemangordon: oh boo, now nobody will write a floss SUPL server like i nudged them to!01:10
DocScrutinizer05I know what i'm talking about01:11
DocScrutinizer05Die Körperschaft muss gemeinnützige, mildtätige oder kirchliche Zwecke verfolgen.01:12
DocScrutinizer05Der Zweck muss selbstlos, ausschließlich und unmittelbar verfolgt werden.01:12
DocScrutinizer05Alle Voraussetzungen der Steuerbegünstigung müssen aus der Satzung ersichtlich sein. Die Satzung muss auch die Art der Zweckverwirklichung angeben.01:12
DocScrutinizer05read dat friggin wiki!!01:12
Win7Macshould have shared your experience earlier then, probably, anyway sorry for being somewhat arguing, but i really  like a good discussion about important stuff01:12
freemangordonLjL-Alps: we have a problem in certman, not selecting the correct root cert IMO. I guess fixing it is more important than having supl server :)01:12
LjL-Alpsheh, fair enough01:12
DocScrutinizer05nobody ever said "gemeinnuetziger e.V"01:13
DocScrutinizer05otherwise I had shared my knowledge more early01:13
Win7Mac§1-3 takes care of that, it's already in the draft01:13
DocScrutinizer05yeah, church of maemo01:13
DocScrutinizer05saving the exinguishing race of N90001:14
*** MetalGearSolid00 has joined #maemo01:14
DocScrutinizer05and then handing it to the poor.    apropos, what's with Robbiethe1st now?01:14
Win7Macchurch of maemo sounds cool...01:15
*** MetalGearSolid07 has quit IRC01:16
DocScrutinizer05support for a commercial produc tis per se not gemeinnuetzig01:16
dos1Polish Church of Flying Spaghetti Monster is now having problems with registration as religious association01:17
DocScrutinizer05even when the product got discontinued01:17
dos1i wonder if Church of Maemo could have better luck ;)01:17
DocScrutinizer05neither is any pub, nor Apple no matter how much better they make the world with their products01:19
DocScrutinizer05and gemeinnuetzigkeit gets approved for the past, not for the future. so when you send out tax-exempt donation-receipts and then you _are_ _not_ gemeinnuetzig, guess who's going to bend over01:20
Win7Macsure, got to be responsible in life for what you do...01:21
Win7Macanyway, if you wanna sell Neo900 via HiFo you'd definetely have a problem with gemeinnuetzig01:22
DocScrutinizer05we _for_ _sure_ never ever will do such thing01:22
Win7Macso, thanks for input and lets move on01:22
DocScrutinizer05(we == GolDeliCo, even when i'm not)01:22
DocScrutinizer05that's close to criminal tax-evading01:23
Win7Maci thought we == kickstarter01:23
dos1yeah, I think Golden Delicious is fine with it being the seller of their hardware and won't release that position too easily :D01:24
DocScrutinizer05exactly01:24
Win7Macah ok, fine01:24
DocScrutinizer05and HiFo is no entity to better the world01:24
Win7MacJA, damn it, got you by now... ;)01:24
DocScrutinizer05HiFo 8ot any successor e.V.) is just the cashier of maemo community and council01:24
DocScrutinizer05(or*01:25
Win7Macthat's how i see it as well01:25
DocScrutinizer05then scratch any "gemeinnuetzig", managing an account is not making the world better01:26
Win7Macalrighty01:26
DocScrutinizer05your Finanzamt will tell you, just a bit too late01:27
DocScrutinizer05otoh we pay taxes - actually income taxes - for errr what? 4000EUR / 12 months?01:28
DocScrutinizer05DANG!01:28
DocScrutinizer05this must be... close to zilch anyway01:29
Win7Macproviding maemo infra to the world might come in for "making the world better" though ;)01:29
Win7Mac*count in01:29
DocScrutinizer05no, it's a almost commercial service01:29
DocScrutinizer05and HiFo is not exactly doing it01:29
Win7Macstrictly speaking, yes01:30
DocScrutinizer05well, no matter if or if not you can get gemnuetz, it will cost us way more than it earns us01:30
DocScrutinizer05waaaaaaay more01:30
Win7Maccopied01:31
DocScrutinizer05we probably have to pay 2/3 of the lawyer and steuerberater costs from our own pockets01:31
DocScrutinizer05after burning the 4k we have01:31
Win7MacLOL01:31
DocScrutinizer05been there, seen that01:31

DocScrutinizer05anyway the auditing is a PITA and nobody really wants to do that. i'd pay 4000EUR to not have to go through such auditing01:46
DocScrutinizer05and if you fail the auditing then it's time to bend over01:47
Win7Macas i said, you got me convinced01:47
DocScrutinizer05since they have no humor at all01:47
DocScrutinizer05and you wasted their time01:48
Win7Macm-m-m-my t-t-tax officer st-st-st-stutters...01:48

DocScrutinizer05duh, I wonder if GolDeliCo has any insurance for disasters. E.G a lightning strikes the package with the 300 SoCs01:53

Tekk_even though it's already decided, weren't you guys talking about eligibility for e.V.?02:14
Tekk_actually I'll just shut up since I know nothing about how that stuff works in europe02:15
Win7Maceligibility for tax-exemption02:16
*** NeutrinoPower has quit IRC02:16
Win7Mace.V. *can* have that, but it's a PITA as it seems02:17
Tekk_ah. since the qualifications came up I was going to point out that kde has been eV for a very long time, and you're in the same domain02:17
DocScrutinizer05e.V yes. tax-excempt - prolly no02:19
Tekk_ah02:19
Tekk_that's where me not knowing anythign about the german organization things comes in :)02:19
DocScrutinizer05but yes, kde e.V is actually a pretty good example02:19
*** rcg has quit IRC02:20
DocScrutinizer05ooh maybe it is  ->  http://ev.kde.org/corporate/statutes.php02:21
Win7Machttp://ev.kde.org/ looks like a good resource02:22
Win7MacTekk_: thanks!02:22
DocScrutinizer05so they have sufficient turnover to make a tax-exempt audit worth it02:23
DocScrutinizer05best resource still seems wikipedia page to me02:24
DocScrutinizer05http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemeinnützigkeit#Voraussetzungen_f.C3.BCr_die_Anerkennung02:24
Tekk_so germany distinguishes between non-profit and tax-exempt.02:24
Tekk_that was messing me up a bit. I don't think the US has that distinction, but I may bewrong02:24
DocScrutinizer05not really02:25
DocScrutinizer05well, _usually_ an e.V. is not profit oriented02:25
DocScrutinizer05though there are prominent exceptions, like TUEV02:26
Tekk_ah, my glance over the kde page made me think that an e.V. was by definition non-profit02:26
Tekk_but I'm multitaskign02:26
Tekk_as evidenced by my typos -.-02:26
*** trx has joined #maemo02:26
DocScrutinizer05tax exempt is granted to sozial and otherwise strictly non-profit and "helping" e.V. only02:27
DocScrutinizer05after a painful audit02:27
DocScrutinizer05which will get re-done every 3 years the latest02:28
Tekk_oh, to get semi back on topic02:28
DocScrutinizer05and might result in tax-exempt revoked retroactively for last 3 years02:28
Tekk_is there any way to back up my maemo install?02:28
DocScrutinizer05~bm02:29
infobot[backupmenu] http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=6397502:29
Tekk_hold on, that may not cover it02:29
DocScrutinizer05that does02:29
Tekk_so backupmenu, save my backup somewhere, then I'm free to wipe my device?02:29
DocScrutinizer05only thing not backed up is kernel02:29
Tekk_there's the problem02:29
Tekk_I want to try out meego, but I'd also like to restore maemo once I'm done :P02:30
DocScrutinizer05uname -a, tag backup with kernel version02:30
Tekk_cool02:30
DocScrutinizer05meego afaik doesn't touch your kernel02:30
DocScrutinizer05it comes with own alternative kernel on a alternative location, I *think*02:30
DocScrutinizer05meego howto will elaborate on it02:31
Tekk_thanks02:31
DocScrutinizer05yw02:31
DocScrutinizer05that's stock kernel:  Linux IroN900 2.6.28-omap1 #1 PREEMPT Fri Aug 6 11:50:00 EEST 2010 armv7l GNU/Linux02:32
DocScrutinizer05if you got sth different, you should make sure you know how to install that kernel before you restore any backup that's based on it02:33
DocScrutinizer05otherwise device will bootloop02:33
DocScrutinizer05stock kernel gets installed with regular rweflashing the COMBINED process02:34

infobotwell, combined is the rootfs fiasco image of maemo. For N900 latest (PR1.3.1) see http://maemo.cloud-7.de/maemo5/fiasco+co/RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin  or  http://nds2.fds-fire.nokia.com/fdp/interface/FiRe/2011/9/--FID--A0A22MVWFVFAM/--LID--FiRe1317015685654/RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin02:34
DocScrutinizer05PR1.3 is fine as well02:35
DocScrutinizer05~flashing02:35
infobothmm... maemo-flashing is http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware02:35
Tekk_DocScrutinizer05: actually it looks like it won't touch my rootfs anyway02:35
Tekk_the preferred way of installing meego seems to be actually installing on an sd card and booting from that02:35
DocScrutinizer05:nod: i am quite sure in installs on uSD or maybe eMMC02:36
* DocScrutinizer05 idly wonders how many apps for meego might be available02:37
DocScrutinizer05for N900-meego02:37
DocScrutinizer05not meego-harmattan02:37
Win7Macwhat about N9-freemantle?02:38
DocScrutinizer05I even wonder if it's still supported in any way, or already bitrotten to fubar02:38
Tekk_considering how quick nokia was to even drop meego, I wouldn't be surprised if maemo was horribly bitrotten on the n902:39
DocScrutinizer05Win7Mac: go ahead, start a project!02:39
Win7Macsure ;)02:39
DocScrutinizer05seems nobody is really that much excited about the idea02:39
Win7Maclooks like02:40
DocScrutinizer05with Neo900 this might change02:40
*** LauRoman has quit IRC02:40
Win7Macwhat?02:41
DocScrutinizer05once we prove that it *can* get ported, some weirdos might consider to actually rewrite all the blobs that won't work on N9 and port it to the coffin02:41
DocScrutinizer05meh, nobody is _that_ weird I guess02:42
Win7Macby then its 2015 and I'm on a Jolla I guess02:42
DocScrutinizer05particularly since with cordia you got a way better path to migrate look&feel of maemo fremantle to N9 while sacrificing binary compatibility02:43
DocScrutinizer05and when you already need to rework and recompile your app for N9, then why to a target that somehow mimiks fremantle when there's a more modern kernel and core system available on your target platform02:45
DocScrutinizer05doesn't make that much of any sense02:46

Maceryou can probably do it with your fingernail08:21
Tekk_Macer: not just opening the back08:22
Tekk_at least I think08:22
Maceri cant remember exactly how i did it but it was fairly easy08:22
Tekk_hmm, looks like after opening up the back of the case it's just 4 small philips heads08:22
Maceronly thing to look out for was the cam module08:22
Maceri believe you have to unstick it from the board08:23
Macermine fell off on my first n90008:23

Tekk_how good's the n900 as far as self-hosting?08:25
Tekk_self-hosting a dev environment*08:25
Maceri have an e7 as a backup in case this one breaks08:25
Tekk_I figure if I can get host mode working I might be able to hook up a keyboard, throw something together08:25
Macerdifficult i believe but you would have to ask the devs here if one pops up08:25
Tekk_maybe a mediagoblin app08:26
Tekk_since I'm going on vacation soon08:26
Maceryou can always hook up a bt kb08:26

Macerthe pkg is in the repo08:26
Maceryou should at least update to cssu stable ;)08:27

Macerlol. it is brand new. unless you do something horrible to the port im sure it will be fine for a while08:31
Macerif it is even in jeopardy at all08:31

DocScrutinizer05kerio: jon_y: the chances to corrupt a file in such a way that the md5sum stays unchanged are smaller than your chances watching a neutron decay. So why for God's sake would we need sha256 sha384 sha512 ?17:24
DocScrutinizer05to confuse users?17:24

NIN101actually, if you use the sums to verify something instead of the gpg... you are doing something wrong anyway.17:25
kerioNIN101: i'm trying to avoid mistakes, not malice17:26
kerioand i don't have a trusted copy of your public key anyway17:26
NIN101well, true.17:26
DocScrutinizer05wtf? we're not signing something to protect it against NSA attacks17:26
kerioNIN101: i'll come to your house with a dna sampling machine, check your dna to see if you're really you, and then you can give me your public key17:27
DocScrutinizer05we're doing a CHECKSUM to detect transmission errors17:27
keriohopefully there's no backdoor in the dna sampling machine17:27
keriomh, i guess i'm building that myself then17:27
keriocan't trust it17:27
kerioDocScrutinizer05: ooh good point17:28
keriowe can just ask the NSA if the download had transmission errors17:28
DocScrutinizer05there's a backdoor in the sourcecode of the universe17:28
keriocan't deal with that17:28
xesDocScrutinizer05: yep, it's called human stupidity17:28

DocScrutinizer05no, that's the result17:29
xesbtw.. NIN101 thanks for the sums and your rescueos... but please add again MC :-)17:30

DocScrutinizer05all the mess we see happen (and the mess that human race creates) is just a result of that, the visible effects of the antivirus process trying to fight the exploit17:32

*** shamus has joined #maemo17:33
DocScrutinizer05well, mc would bring a LOT of useful functionality17:34
DocScrutinizer05in some respect mc is similar to busybox17:35
*** FlameReaper-PC has joined #maemo17:35
DocScrutinizer05though in fact it just depends on the original tools17:35
DocScrutinizer05e.g. I think mc can't look into .tgz and .deb when tar and gzip are not installed17:36
*** konelix has quit IRC17:37
NIN101for me it's quite simple: I don't know MC. It was once there, eating space. I dunno how useful it was on the N900 keyboard so I nuked it. But anyway, you normally don't use rescueOS that often (unless you are a rescueOS junkie like kerio :-) ) and if you do, well, you can modify the image and help yourself. If you use it sometimes, you can deal with the command line mv cp cat etc. Therefore it is not a priority in the barely alive rescueOS devel17:39

*** FlameReaper-PC has joined #maemo18:02
xesSAiF:  check if you have some dbus script activated while receiving calls, ringtoned or something similar18:03
SAiFflashed at noon18:03
DocScrutinizer05yes, more verbose. When it happens, what exactly happens, how often it happens, what you did, which OS you're running, if you checked for other similar problems showing up etc pp18:03
SAiFI had this same exact issue, before flashing. I thought it was because of different softwares I installed.18:04
*** FR-PC has quit IRC18:04
DocScrutinizer05also check dialer menu screen orientation setting, switch it back and forth, disallow auto-orientation18:04
xes...also if the screen starts rotating during a call the ui opens slowly. Opening the keyb you force the rotation18:05
*** drussell has joined #maemo18:05
SAiFxes, It could be chance.. let me check18:05
DocScrutinizer05the file where dialer stores orientation settings might be corrupt. It lives soemwhere in $HOME iirc, which doesn't get reset when you reflash rootfs18:06
SAiFI flashed both rootfs and emmc18:07
* DocScrutinizer05 is supposed to know that stuff, since author of starhash-enabler, but forgot18:07

DocScrutinizer05yep21:58
* Tekk_ is looking21:59
DocScrutinizer05AP has no powersaving mode, bot some other parameters related that sometimes improve things a bit when tweaking them. But generally only a firmware update or hw update on AP can fix those problems21:59
