IRC log of #maemo for Sunday, 2013-09-22

jdolesIf you get a subscription for some fast Internet (14.4Mb/s), can you also use it with the N900 in a slower mode? (I don't think the N900 does 14.4Mb/s, because it lacks a modern chip)00:02
jdolesThat is, do the networks fall back to whatever the phone does support or can you basically throw away your N900 is you still want to use some mobile internet?00:03

wotan147Folks is it possible to package a maemo app form ubuntu without scratchbox? just with dpkg-buildpackages?00:04
*** mkaindl has left #maemo00:07
*** valerius has joined #maemo00:09
psycho_oreosjdoles, the provider probably will support fallback/slower speeds. As long as they are using the same frequencies as N900 then it should be possible.00:14
psycho_oreoswotan147, doubt it. scratchbox is mainly needed also for cross compiling. Plus it has all the necessary maemo deps.00:15
psycho_oreosYou might be able to forgo scratchbox setup, but you may end up with a messy build environment that is mixed with maemo stuff. In the very least scratchbox is provided so that the mess is somewhat more contained.00:16

jdolesRegarding speed, I am seeing that lots of networks still support on 2Mb/s vs 14.4Mb/s and that lots of people have reported 9Mb/s to work on the N900. Is it really annoying to use the 2Mb/s variant?00:52
jdolesMost bandwidth limits are really low, so the only benefit would be reduced latency when browsing, but even via wifi that's not really that fast on an N900 (it seems CPU limited).00:53
jdolesI am even considering to just keep the N900 as a toy and get another phone for more serious things.00:54
DocScrutinizer05n900 is no phone and no toy, but a tool00:56
*** Vlad_on_the_road has joined #maemo00:57
jdolesA tool for doing what exactly?01:04
jdolesA laptop can do the same things, except for calling, which even a Nokia 3210 can do (with much better battery life).01:04
jdolesDon't get me wrong, it's great that a phone exists on which one can run Debian, if one is so inclined.01:05

psycho_oreosjdoles, N900 was one of the most powerful device capable of running linux and bearing phone functionality that existed on the market three years ago. Even though N900 has proprietary bits and is now considered a dated technology against modern rivals, linux users can happily admit that N900 will continue to show what embedded technology running linux can do. You can think of it as a similar case such as Trolltech Qt phone, Openmoko phones/devices,06:58
psycho_oreosetc.06:58
psycho_oreosAn Apple fan for instance will happily retain iPhones thinking that it was the best innovation Apple did along with bringing out phone functionality. That very similar case can be applied here.07:00
psycho_oreosIf you're going to view N900 as some poor device that is either slow, battery hogging, poorly designed, outdated, etc. You're not going to have any better perception.07:02
wmaronethe problem is that all of that is true to a degree07:04
wmaronedoesn't negate that it was a great device07:04
psycho_oreosI too can happily admit along with RiD that N900 is still my primary phone/device. Once I get my N900 fixed, I will continue to use N900 until a suitable replacement candidate (such as Neo900) comes along.07:05
wmaroneI retired mine because it kept missing calls and failing at any actual connectivity (not retrieving mail, etc.)07:05
psycho_oreosTo me in all honesty, it depends on how one perceives a glass cup with half the amount of water. Skeptics will think that the glass is already half empty, optimists will think the opposite.07:06
wmaroneit's consumer electronics, not a lifestyle07:07
psycho_oreosI have had similar issues with mine until I started using CSSU-Thumb. Although it still wasn't a complete fix, I am still happy to see the capabilities that it bore three years ago.07:08
psycho_oreosI was crudely putting N900 in a manner of which how one were to objectively view things.07:08
wmaroneChanging the processor instruction set being used won't fix fundamental software bugs.07:09
psycho_oreosNot that I wasn't aware of that, but my concerns were squarely pointed at how I set mine up and how the device continues to run over time without shutting down.07:10
wmaronewithout shutting down?07:11
psycho_oreosIn terms of *nix side of things, think of it as like uptime that is on mission critical servers.07:11
wmaroneah07:12
wmaronewell yes, it would never crash07:12
wmaronebut the N900 does have software bugs that would require reboots to get around, particularly in the network connectivity bits07:12
psycho_oreosNot only that, but it has to still behave like as if the way the machine started for the very first time. It has to retain that same performance (to a degree), if the machine were to get very sluggish over time. That would decrease one's desires in achieving maximum productivity.07:13
wmaronewrath of tracker and the browser07:14
wmaroneand lack of RAm07:14
wmaroneheh07:14
psycho_oreosYeah or things like maybe software rot. It's inevitable as it is also inherently blaming on proprietary/closed bits and/or lacking popularity to get issues resolved quicker.07:15
wmaroneand being abandoned07:15
psycho_oreosAgain N900 is dated in today's standards, but three years ago. Nobody would be able to find a device bearing similar capabilities and yet being sold as a consumer device. To me, apart from linux on phone (so to speak) with 32GB eMMC and bearing microSD expansion upgrade-ability was really superior.07:17
wmaronewell, yes07:18
wmaronethat's why I bought one07:18
psycho_oreosInevitably. Technologies don't evolve themselves, but N900 I'd say would go down in the history of linux making its footprint in the real world as a beast of it's time.07:19
wmaroneamongst its fans07:19
psycho_oreosYup, regardless of what sort of fan are you. Apple fans have their iPhones. Other linux fans would see Android as their star, etc.07:20

oooaaaooowhy is it doing that11:27
oooaaaoooit runs fine on the n900 itself11:27
oooaaaooois this a ssh option11:28
*** japa-fi has joined #maemo11:29
psycho_oreosSounds like alias in probably ~/.bashrc or something like that.11:29
zammywhen I run my ssh on n900 using root... or without root I can't11:30
zammyif I try ls it runs good11:30
keriooooaaaooo: wrong TERM maybe11:30
keriono wait11:30
kerioit's a weird alias11:30
oooaaaoooyup11:31
oooaaaooozammy: yup11:31
oooaaaooozammy: thanx that worked11:31
oooaaaooothats weird; you have to gainroot before ls works...11:32
zammyanyway I never been able to ssh my n900 without root...11:32
oooaaaoooprobably because its a different session with different settings...?11:32
psycho_oreosYou two don't know much about linux CLI do you? It was already pointed out earlier that it was 'alias'.11:33
*** pcfe has quit IRC11:33
oooaaaooopsycho_oreos: what was aliased11:33
zammywho knows which is the password for user@myn90011:34
zammyidk11:34
psycho_oreosoooaaaooo, 'ls' command. Have a look clearly when you type 'alias' look at the line that contains ls="ls --color=auto" or something like that and see where the busybox provided ls would provide that option.11:34
psycho_oreosThere's no password set default for user. You can set one up yourself.11:35
*** xjiujiu has quit IRC11:36
oooaaaooopsycho_oreos: there is none on the n900 but it does exist on my host machine11:36
oooaaaoools='ls $LS_OPTIONS'11:37
oooaaaoool='ls $LS_OPTIONS -lA'11:37

oooaaaoooalias grep='grep --colour=auto'11:37
oooaaaoooalias ls='ls --color=auto11:37
oooaaaoooon my local11:37
*** xjiujiu has joined #maemo11:37
psycho_oreosand what does 'echo $LS_OPTIONS' show when you type that in on your N900?11:37
oooaaaooo--color=auto11:38
*** jonwil has joined #maemo11:38
psycho_oreosExactly.11:38
oooaaaoooso basically by default it already includes the options?11:39
oooaaaooowhen i call ls11:39
psycho_oreosI'm unsure if its by default but you're welcome to either: install and use GNU ls and/or redefine $LS_OPTIONS variable/environment variable.11:40
oooaaaooohmm i thought i had gnu ls installed11:42
oooaaaooowas that a part of coreutils?11:42
psycho_oreosWhenever you call ls, because ls is aliased to do whatever is stated in $LS_OPTIONS it will make ls run whatever $LS_OPTIONS states. That's the basics of alias, seriously.. learn BASH.11:42
*** marainein has quit IRC11:42
psycho_oreosEven if you have GNU ls installed, it would not be in the same $PATH as busybox provided ls. It would probably be in /usr/bin/gnu/ls or something like that.11:43
oooaaaoooso basically redefine alias ls to point to gnu ls11:43
oooaaaooook11:44
psycho_oreosor un-alias ls so that you won't need to bother with ls --color=auto whenever it tries to call /bin/ls.11:44
oooaaaoooDue to conflicts with busybox and SDK, all binaries are stored in /usr/bin/gnu,11:50
oooaaaooo which could be added to $PATH, or can be called with a 'g' prefix, e.g., 'gcat'11:50
oooaaaooo for cat.11:50

wndNow that we're at it, I can't log in with pubkey authentication (using openssh) on my n900. I used to be able to, and I remember I had to some some extra manual work in order to make it happen. Then I had to do a full reflash, and now I can't remember how to do it again. This is kind of embarassing.13:44
Wizzupyes13:45
Wizzupgoogle on how to do pubkey auth13:45
Wizzupits really simple13:45
wndBefore I do, I'd like to say that I do use pubkey for other computers, including using single-purpose keys to run unattended, pre-determined commands/scripts in cronjobs and such.13:47
wndbut for whatever reason I no longer can make that work with n90013:47

robotanarchyand one thing that has always bugged me: is it possible to enable / disable repos from SSH?13:56
robotanarchyor add new ones13:57
wndwell, there is /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list13:57

robotanarchyok thx13:58
wndwhat does ham actually do when you disable a repository? I mean, iirc it still remember that repo, so it must keep a record somewhere.13:59

Guest_____I just discovered the Neo900 a few minutes ago.  Does anyone have an idea about when it might become available for purchase? 6 months? 1 year? 3 years?   I'm also wondering if the touch screen will support pinch-to-zoom (multi-touch)19:29
DocScrutinizer05maybe 6 months19:29
DocScrutinizer05rather 919:29
DocScrutinizer05no mt on touchpanel, it's same panel as on N90019:29
DocScrutinizer05and fremantle doesn't support "pinch to zoom" anyway. In fremantle you have a different gesture to zoom19:30
Guest_____Awesome, I signed up for the OpenPhoenux mailing list and will pre-order once that becomes available.   I'll be using Replicant OS (Android) once it runs on the GT04. They say they are working on it now19:30
*** Sysaxed has joined #maemo19:31
DocScrutinizer05yes, replicat already half finished afaik19:31
DocScrutinizer05on GTA0419:31
Guest_____I read that the case parts are overstock N900 parts.  What happens when those run out, will someone be able to manufacturer more parts?19:32
wotan147sixwheeldbeast when I look there, I habe a FREMANTLE_ARMEL define for arm19:32
DocScrutinizer05I doubt the case parts will be our first problem we run into19:32
Guest_____hahaha19:32
DocScrutinizer05and if we actually sell so many devices that those become unavailable due to sell out, we will be able to afford building new ones19:33
Guest_____I've held off buying a GTA04 based phone for years because I wanted somethign like the N900.. larger screen, slide out qwerty keyboard, nice form factor, etc.  Maybe once the Neo900 becomes available, more people like me will overwhelm the supplier with orders.19:34
DocScrutinizer05doesn't look like, see19:34
DocScrutinizer05http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=9114219:34
DocScrutinizer05~50 "preorders/votes" for >=700EUR, and we for sure won't be able to hit the "mass market" with a sales price tag of <45019:35
Guest_____are you talking about the poll results?  Those don't count people like me who haven't been keeping tabs on GTA04 like myself19:35
DocScrutinizer05yes, I'm aware of all that19:36
Guest_____Count me in as someone willing to pay >=700EUR for one19:36
DocScrutinizer05for now we are happy when we can reach our 200 units threshold, or rather even the amount of people doing early ventuare preorder to finance the prototyping19:37
Guest_____I haven't read much of the forum yet.. is there a pre-order page now? Do I have to pay now or can I pay when you are ready to manufacturer?19:37
*** _kW has quit IRC19:37

DocScrutinizer05there's a time table I posted in one of the Neo900-thread posts19:38

DocScrutinizer05I have _no_clue_ about the business part in this adventure, and I doubt Nikolaus thought about resellers yet. But hey, he could do now ;-)19:40

DocScrutinizer05we will not ask for, or accept any money before we are sure we can actually come up with something feasible that we _can_ do19:44
DocScrutinizer05we're not going "thanks for all the donations, but sorry guys and gals, we realized we don't have the expertise to pull this off" or "... realized we can't source the DM3730 anymore" or "... relized the modem module doesn't fit nto N900 case" etc19:47
*** nox- has joined #maemo19:47
Guest_____That's good, I'm not in a position to buy a batch of them right now anyway, plus I want to test one out for myself first.  I've never used an N900 or Maemo before, so for me getting Replicant OS working on it satisfactorily will be most important.  I hope Jitsi can get their Android port released next year too, because it supports ZRTP encryption on voice & video chats as well as OTR on text chats.19:48
DocScrutinizer05we will offer methods to transfer money as soon as we have no doubt this can actually work if only sufficient preorders come in19:48

entitledfound out something weird, after since I opened my N900, the headphone jack doesen't always align perfectly. I get this buzzing sound that changes depending what gets displayed on the screen (interference). like playing a video has different sound than being on the "desktop".20:18
SAiFI think original ones have a nokia nseries logo on back. and this one does have, its plain20:18
*** flo_lap is now known as florian20:18
entitledNow, I found out that when the display is turned off and I adjust volume, the noise gets increased for few seconds, exacly the time that it takes for the yellow volume bar to appear.20:18
entitledso even if display is blank, the N900 still kind of renders all the UI.20:19

*** Guest_____ has left #maemo20:25
*** sq-one has joined #maemo20:27
entitledwell I can try to make video+sound, that proves that yes, the volume bar gets rendered (same kind of noise for same time) regardless the state of display being on or off.20:27
DocScrutinizer05first of all your "sound" is a bug and clearly not defined what exactly it tells us, except that your device is broken20:28
entitledand smarter people can then try to figure out if any other UI related action is happening/active even if it shouldn't.20:28
DocScrutinizer05and AV out is supposed to work even when screen blanked, so in the end all this is telling us nothing at all20:30
entitledah20:30
entitledwell it could be due to video out signal getting fed into the plug.20:31
DocScrutinizer05exactly20:31
