DocScrutinizer05thermo/baro/hygro sensor goer to upper right corner of upper surface of upper, to get maximum exposed to ambient00:00
ceenei guess this design has a lot more things than the n90000:03
ceenewould it be possible to fit everythin on a two side populated board?00:04
ceenedon't know if it even makes sense00:05
DocScrutinizer05falso see http://neo900.org/stuff/werner/stacking/  For the second SIM slot there's a placement diagram in stuff/ somewhere but right now I can't find it00:05
DocScrutinizer05sure you can fit everything on a two side populated single board... given it's large enough ;-)00:06
DocScrutinizer05I did a calculation and concluded we're at roughly 60 to 70% (iirc) use of available real estate00:07
DocScrutinizer05when we use all 4 surfaces S1 to S400:07
DocScrutinizer05honestly we should take that to #neo90000:08

sunshaviHi guys, question about fm radio on n80000:18
sunshaviI have edited the stations file on /apps/maemo/fmradio/frequency_key. How Can I tell the fmradio plugin to reload it, without rebooting00:20
sunshavithe plugin used to look for the info from this site http://sds.hpvisualradio.com/sdsweb/Search.do00:41
sunshaviif knowing the output of that operation i can simulate the output :). Any idea?00:43
*** freemangordon has quit IRC00:46
DocScrutinizer05ugh?00:46
DocScrutinizer05I think the N810 never had a radio. And I had no N800. The N900 however hardly looks at websites to check for any parameters for the radio00:48
ds3how wide of a freqency range is the radio on the n900?00:48
DocScrutinizer05err japan plus worldwide00:49
DocScrutinizer05I.E some 76(?) up to 10800:49
DocScrutinizer05http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_FM_radio_receiver00:50
DocScrutinizer05mmphh, has no decent info on freq range00:51
DocScrutinizer05http://www.broadcom.com/products/Bluetooth/Bluetooth-RF-Silicon-and-Software-Solutions/BCM204800:52
sunshaviI am using just the transmitter00:54
sunshaviwhich is nice by the way00:54
ds3oh00:54
ds3so no chance of getting it up to like 144MHz00:54
ds3(Ham band)00:54
sunshavithe fmradio plugin on n800 is better than on n90000:54
sunshavithe best radio app is on n900:54
DocScrutinizer05http://www.qic.com.cn/qicfileserver/readFile.action?filePath=/pdf/BOARDCOM/BCM2048.pdf  76-10800:55
DocScrutinizer05ds3: nope, no way00:55
sunshaviI have recorded somewhere the exact chip that cames on n80000:56
DocScrutinizer05sunshavi: I'm not used to the term "plugin"00:56
sunshavi4 n900 it is the name as widget00:56
ds3that comes up as a 2 page flyer for me00:57
ds3oh nevermind... that is a 2 page flyer :D00:57
DocScrutinizer05still has the range00:57
ds3was hoping there is a register spec on the tuner00:57
*** freemangordon has joined #maemo00:58
sunshaviaccording to this page https://wiki.maemo.org/Programming_N800_FM_radio_receiver00:59
sunshaviit is tea576100:59
sunshavian alternative could be to create a c prg and call it from cli. So no need 4 the plugin aka widget01:05

APicHow do i run Andorid-Apps without Dual-Boot, but inside Maemo?01:30
APicQEMU?01:30
APicOr is there a seminative Dalvik-VM?01:30
Sicelono01:31
Sicelothere is/was apkenv .. didn't run all android applications. i never got it to work myself01:32
DocScrutinizer05hmm, what was that latest shit for android emu?01:34
Siceloon N900?01:34
DocScrutinizer05Shashlik01:36
DocScrutinizer05https://www.pyra-handheld.com/wiki/index.php?title=Comparison_Chart01:36
DocScrutinizer05all I know about that01:36
DocScrutinizer05http://www.shashlik.io/01:37
DocScrutinizer05APic: why qemu? it's the same processor01:38
DocScrutinizer05at least could01:39
APicDocScrutinizer05: I thought maybe QEMU could already run Dalvik-Code01:40
APicBut probably not01:40
APicSo yes, i can just compile the Dalvik VM for N90001:40
DocScrutinizer05see shashlik01:41
APicThanks!01:41
DocScrutinizer05sounds reasonably easy01:41
DocScrutinizer05hmm, they mention qemu too01:42
*** freemangordon has quit IRC01:43
DocScrutinizer05sorry I have no clue, never touched android01:43
DocScrutinizer05ooh wait, I touch it when I pick up my gf's phone01:44
ds3did you instantly slam it down on the ground in disgust?01:44
*** bredebid has quit IRC01:46
sunshavilol: My son got one on a contest; pretty nice hw cmp to my n80001:51
sunshavimultitouch01:51
sunshaviawfull battery life01:51
sunshavinice screen again cmp to my n800 (on sunlight specially)01:53
ds3remove the google crap and the battery life will improve dramatically01:56
ds3Google Play Services is the energy hog01:56
DocScrutinizer05ds3: nope, actually I recommended the particular phone when she asked what to get01:57
sunshaviany command line to rm it quickly, or just gui based?01:57
DocScrutinizer05well, actually first I gave her my hooker80001:57
DocScrutinizer05which she killed - maybe *she* slammed it into a wall ;-)01:58
DocScrutinizer05cmd line? on android? welllll.... I heard there allegedly is a way to get that01:59
DocScrutinizer05believe it or not, she killed the USB jack on that SG thing02:01
DocScrutinizer05so it's obviously not a N900 specific problem02:01
sunshaviDocScrutinizer05, yes adb shell gives you a nice terminal02:03
DocScrutinizer05seems people with low tech affinity tend to now waste a millisecond bothering about mechanical threats to plugs02:03
DocScrutinizer05s/ now / not /02:04
infobotDocScrutinizer05 meant: seems people with low tech affinity tend to not waste a millisecond bothering about mechanical threats to plugs02:04
DocScrutinizer05she's relentlessly bending the USB plug up or down until the thing starts charging02:05
sunshaviDocScrutinizer05: hooker800=n800?02:05
DocScrutinizer05I won't even try to teach her about the negative effects of that02:05
DocScrutinizer05hooker = (spanish) lumia02:06
DocScrutinizer05Nokia sent me one, like all of the N9 owners02:06
sunshaviDocScrutinizer05: thanks 4 the info. Btw i am an n9 owner where is my hooker?02:07
DocScrutinizer05obviously they were *soooo* proud of the N9 bastard02:07
DocScrutinizer05I guess they sent them to all who received a N9 devel device02:08
sunshaviN9: nice thing have multitouch, I am too lazy 4 having another scratchbox rootstrap, 4 experimenting with it02:08
DocScrutinizer05well, my N9 died during disassembling it to rip out its secrets02:09
DocScrutinizer05was well worth it, the reward was 1GB RAM PoP chips for Neo90002:10
sunshavilol, my is still working. I use it as a camera.02:10
DocScrutinizer05yeah, it's a bit of a pity, the N9 was a nice device, despite the Aegis mess and all02:11
sunshavin900 camera sucks. like 8 seconds for taking a second pic. I can't stand it02:11
DocScrutinizer05indeed02:11
sunshaviwe can have whatever that has linux inside, that's the reason my n800 still rocks02:11
DocScrutinizer05however that's a software limitation I'd think02:11
sunshavibtw: n800 has better response as a bluetooth access point than n900, what's the reason for that02:12
sunshavi?02:12
DocScrutinizer05if the camera-ui would allocate more ram to buffer multiple pictures and write them to storage while already taking next one, this would feel way more snappy02:12
sunshaviconnecting to an n900 (bluetooth access point) takes 10 seconds more than to an n800 bluetooth acess point02:12
DocScrutinizer05BT access point? wth is that?02:13
sunshaviis the best use I have gave to my n80002:13
DocScrutinizer05nfc, never heard of it02:14
sunshaviimagine droids being feeded internet by the n800. It is like a cavern man feeding an industrial man02:14
DocScrutinizer05you lost me02:14
DocScrutinizer05~bt-pan02:15
DocScrutinizer05hmm02:15
sunshavihttps://wiki.maemo.org/Bluetooth_PAN02:15
DocScrutinizer05~listkeys maemo*pan02:15
infobotFactoid search of 'maemo*pan' by key (1): #maemo pan.02:15
DocScrutinizer05~pan02:15
infoboti heard pan is https://wiki.maemo.org/Bluetooth_PAN02:15
sunshaviyes. that's the answer02:15
DocScrutinizer05never heard anybody calling that an access point02:16
DocScrutinizer05it's rather a form of tethering in my book02:16
sunshavihttps://wiki.maemo.org/Bluetooth_PAN02:17
sunshavis/https://wiki.maemo.org/Bluetooth_PAN/https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=57529&p=466691/02:17
sunshaviit is a more informal way of calling the PAN or NAP02:17
sunshavihey infobot did not replace my urls02:18
sunshaviperhaps my urls need to be scaped02:18
sunshavis/scaped/escaped/02:19
infobotsunshavi meant: perhaps my urls need to be escaped02:19
*** freemangordon has joined #maemo02:20
DocScrutinizer05maybe simply posting the right url instead of trying to replace it while it contains delimiters/ would have been the smarter idea ;-)02:24
DocScrutinizer05infobot's sed function isn't, it's a simple strcmp based replacement without any flexibility02:25
sunshaviok, brb on 3h from now.02:26
DocScrutinizer05it however understands s///g02:26
DocScrutinizer05regarding N800 being faster: I guess it has less gear to handle all different scenarios of internet connectivity02:28
DocScrutinizer05and for sure it has a different BT chipset and firmware02:29
* DocScrutinizer05 recalls tethering his N810 to a windows smartphone, to do mobile IRC02:30
DocScrutinizer05dunno what been wrong with that siolution in the end02:30
DocScrutinizer05prolly just that windows smartphone alone02:31
* DocScrutinizer05 idly wonders what's the rationale to use an N800 to make an android smartphone02:41
DocScrutinizer05acces the internet02:41

Vajbi think i may have fixed my tracker problem. There was value to track /mydocs/.camera, but such folder didn't excist.10:41
Sicelowhat was the tracker problem?10:52
keriodoes the maemo media player play ALACs?10:52

DocScrutinizer05ooh btw there _were_ bugfixes to tracker that should ship with CSSU since long time16:10
DocScrutinizer05which might explain why I don't see that problem16:10
DocScrutinizer05>>CGroups: In the past some businesses (like Nokia) using Tracker on embedded systems have used CGroups to limit the resources the Tracker processes have.<<16:24
DocScrutinizer05>>Memory allocator watchdog - osso_mem_saw_enable(): Nokia implemented this to make sure processes didn't accidentally try to allocate too much memory. Tracker used it at some time or another, but no longer.<<16:25
DocScrutinizer05a nice example of the reasons why maemo often incorrectly considered "proprietary"16:25
DocScrutinizer05~tracker16:25
infobot""Tracker currently has a function called tracker_memory_setrlimits() which sets the limitation of RLIMIT_AS and RLIMIT_DATA clamping it between 50% of total memory and MAXLONG (2GB on 32-bit) as an upper limit.""   Between 50% and MAXLONG of memory?

FIQthat's stupid16:48
DocScrutinizer05yes, tracker *is* stupid16:49
FIQwhy couldn't nokia just have a setting16:49
FIQ"Enable indexing of media files"16:49
FIQor at least allow one to do it oneself by terminal hackery16:49
DocScrutinizer05because gallery, mediaplayer and whatnot else depend on working tracker16:49
FIQaargh16:49
FIQwhy16:49
APic-_-16:50
DocScrutinizer05because... "user is stupid and doesn't grok the concept of pathnames"16:50
DocScrutinizer05or simply because "Aplle does it that way too"16:50
DocScrutinizer05apple even16:50
FIQDocScrutinizer05, they know how computers work somehow16:55
DocScrutinizer05you can use mediaplayer with plain file pathnames by simply clicking the file in any integrated filebrowser (mimetypes?), for gallery I don't know of any alternative to using tracker for the thumbnails16:55
DocScrutinizer05well, prolly clicking on a .jpg etc should work too16:56
DocScrutinizer05but honestly tracker somewhat 'works' at least for gallery, when configured correctly16:57
DocScrutinizer05for mediaplayer YMMV, it fscks up pretty thoroughly at least when you have same song title in several albums resp storage locations16:58
*** Juest has left #maemo17:00
* Sicelo thinks tracker is a much lesser evil than the Apple concept. that sucks to the max17:00
DocScrutinizer05spotlight?17:11
DocScrutinizer05or the iOS concept? I'm not fully aware how that works, I guess it has fenced storage areas for each app and you need some "conduits" to access data owned by another app?17:12

ceenethere's already a switch17:37
ceeneand cable is fine and all that17:37
ceeneit's a device tree issue, or maybe a hardware issue (hardware that is implemented on an FPGA)17:37

KotCzarnytry connecting to pc and set the link on the other side (or just disable autoneg)17:41
ceeneit has a driver on linux, but it isn't configurable by any parameter on the device tree17:41

KotCzarnyyou may try moving it somewhere, maybe its e-m noise17:45
ceeneno, that's not it17:45
ceenethis thing works fine with a different firmware17:45
ceeneit's either a matter of linux dts configuration or fpga firmware on which i've done something wrong17:46

charhello, I would like to compile a modern console xmpp client on my N900. Do you think it's feasible? I installed gcc for maemo and I've also read about tcc as C compilers. However, I'm not sure what kind of programs I should expect to be able to compile and install succesfully. Would you please advise me?20:33
charI tried installing MCabber and would probably try Profanity as well. I thought that console programs were easier to "port" to Maemo, but I'm not very programming-literate20:35
DocScrutinizer05it's not exactly recommended to build on target platform. There's scratchbox SDK for that20:36
KotCzarnydepends on lib requirements20:36
DocScrutinizer05~sb20:36
infobotwell, scratchbox is a cross-compiling system that uses binfmt_misc, rpc calls, and an nfs mount to make a cross-build appear to be 100% native, and is found at http://www.scratchbox.org/, hosted by maemo now. Also at http://maemo.merlin1991.at/files/SB20:36
KotCzarnysome apps require current libraries to build/run20:37
KotCzarnyand maemo is stuck in 2009 mostly20:37
charI will have to look into scratchbox, thanks for mentioning it20:37
charKotCzarny: indeed, but I thought that you can compile them too, right?20:38
DocScrutinizer05building on target (N900) is some fancy exercise for hackers20:38
KotCzarnychar, also, old compilers20:38
KotCzarnyon device there is 4.2 as newest20:38
DocScrutinizer05you won't succeed unless you go in depth into installing a easydeb chroot environment etc20:38
KotCzarnys/4.2/5.3/20:39
infobotKotCzarny meant: on device there is 5.3 as newest20:39
KotCzarnyin scratchbox you have to hack a bit and get 4.720:39
charI love Maemo and wouldn't want to change it. However, would it be better on the Xubuntu version for the n900?20:39
KotCzarnywe are stuck with some binary blobs still20:40
KotCzarnyif you dont mind phone part stopping functioning, you can install almost anything20:40

Sicelobut yes, gmail works for my N90022:45
Sicelochar: which xmpp did you have in mind? irssi had an xmpp plugin last i checked, and we have the latest irssi on N900 already22:47
charSicelo: anything that could replace Pidgin.. MCabber and Profanity should both be programmed in C, while Poezio is good but coded in Python and it looked less likely to be ported22:52
chardoes irssi enable OTR encryption?22:52
*** louisdk has quit IRC22:52
Sicelonot sure .. you could check ;)22:54
Sicelowe also have relatively good python support (2.5 & 2.7 at least)22:55
charhttps://github.com/cryptodotis/irssi-otr/ would this work on Maemo?22:55
*** sitcev has joined #maemo22:55
charPoezio requires Python 3.4 for compiling, but they mention "Pyenv" that could help you install it22:56
Siceloah22:58
Sicelo(not saying anything's wrong with doing it your own way .. but what's wrong with pidgin?)22:58
charI really need a XMPP client on my phone, so I think I will commit to this goal. Would you like being kept on the loop Sicelo?22:59
Siceloyes :)22:59
charPidgin is good, but it's getting old and compiling new versions (and new OTR plugins) seem harder or less likely than a console client23:00
charless likely to succeed*23:01
charwhen I have the SB + SDK I will try anything I can23:01
charby the way, these console clients are really good, I even prefer them to Pidgin from time to time23:03
Siceloof course. /me IRC's from irssi even on N90023:03
charwell, I'm glad I found out about irssi on Maemo. I fear compiling its OTR plugin won't be easy but I could try23:05
*** sitcev has quit IRC23:05

Siceloprofanity site doesn't exactly say what the dependencies are23:13
charguess what? I found mcabber 0.9.10-1maemo6 in my application manager. It must be Christmas23:13
Sicelo:)23:13
charbut I can't install it because it's missing "gcc-4.2base23:14
Siceloyes, we have that23:14
Siceloum .. gcc-4.2-base is in SDK repo23:15
Sicelodunno if that version of mcabber has OTR23:15
charprobably not23:17
chara lot of software I can't install due to this gcc-4.2-base23:17
Sicelotry it and see. maybe you can update it ;)23:17
Siceloprofanity seems easy too23:18
charI'm looking for the SDK repository23:18
Sicelobe careful of that repo however .. best to disable it after you've installed that gcc you need.23:18
Siceloit's at the same level as -devel ... mistakes could lead to reflash23:19
charI see.. I'd better try on a virtual machine first23:20
bencohyou can bootstrap a maemo scratchbox/sdk from a vanilla debian and proper repositories if you want23:23
bencohthere is a wiki page about that23:23
charI installed gcc-4.2-base from a .deb file, will see. bencoh, unfortunately I don't understand what that means23:25
