meschendHi. Is this English only, or do people speak German here?20:32
silviofyou can try it. The userbase is not solid as in the good old day. Du kannst auch auf deutsch fragen :-)20:49
meschendAlso, Problem mit meinem n900. Habe Community ssu installiert:20:51
meschendv 21.2011.38-1Smaemo6.120:52
DocScrutinizer51this is an english channel20:52
silviofDocScrutinizer51: ja? I think german is allowd for sdhort questions?!20:52
meschendkernel: 2.6.28.10-power5220:53
meschendsorry, so English. no problem. relax20:53
DocScrutinizer51obviously your english is better than most users' german in here20:53
meschendback to the issue.20:53
meschendmy messaging ui is continuously exiting when I type in stuff. It just exits with errpor code message20:55
meschendalso when I type in new addresses into the phonebook that one exits too. always when I tyype in stuff. the rest is working smoothly. no ploblems else.20:56
meschendI have tried reinstalling kernel and messaging-ui. no change.20:57
DocScrutinizer05the error code would help a lot20:57
meschendthere is no real error code, just saying (in German) messaging-UI is exiting.20:57
DocScrutinizer05I suspect your messages database gone corrupt or simply no free space left20:57
meschendBut there is lots of free space on all the drives. I checked20:58
meschendHow to rebuild messages database?21:00
meschendOr any log-function to take a look?21:00
meschendthere is no /var/log/messages in maemo, as far as I've seen21:00
DocScrutinizer05ls -l /home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/el-v1*21:00
meschendok, I'll check21:00
DocScrutinizer05syslog (ver/log/messages, or rather /var/öog/syslog) only exists when you install package ksyslog21:01
meschendthe path you wrote, there is only a el-v1.db. is that a log file? or a packed thing?21:03
DocScrutinizer05that's the database21:04
meschendHow can I take a look in there?21:05
DocScrutinizer05mv /home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/el-v1.db  /home/user/el-v1.db - then reboot21:06
DocScrutinizer05you basically cannot "look in there"21:06
DocScrutinizer05it's a berkley(?) db file, you need special tools to look into it21:07
DocScrutinizer05or an app like messages21:07
DocScrutinizer05moving the db file to somewhere else will cause it getting recreated empty on next boot21:08
DocScrutinizer05the db getting corrupted is not unheard of. Also I asked you to check for size of that file, please tell the size in kB21:08
meschendok.21:09
DocScrutinizer05there's nothing in maemo that would ever shrink or truncate or cleam out the db. So with the years it's growing beyond all reasonable size21:10
meschendthe size of the .db file is 425984. I don't think this is kb.21:10
DocScrutinizer05and a huge events db also eats lots of RAM and slows down the whole system21:10
DocScrutinizer05that's pretty "small"21:11
meschendseems quite short. I just used the "ls -l". I think this is bytes, isn't it?21:11
DocScrutinizer05rename/move the file, reboot and see if your problem got fixed. If not, you move db file back to original place and name and reboot again, so you won't lose your messages histroy21:12
DocScrutinizer05yes, bytes21:12
meschendone thing. this db file, does it acutalöy store the messages, or just an event logger?21:13
meschend*actually21:13
DocScrutinizer05it stores all messages21:13
DocScrutinizer05messages and call history iirc21:14
meschendah. I have only about 20 "conversations" running currently. not very many messages. So it could still be correct. Maybe like 30-40 messages altogether.21:15
meschendand: it doesn't crash on opening or looking at messages, only on typing! Can that be a db failure?21:16
DocScrutinizer05anyway your problem is hardly CSSU related21:16
meschendHas  the software not been updated by Community SSU?21:17
*** nox- has joined #maemo-ssu21:20
meschendSay, would crashes of rtcomm be logged in ksyslog? With reasonable output?21:21
DocScrutinizer05irrelevant, since it's most likely not a bug introduced by CSSU, even when CSSU would have updated the package21:21
DocScrutinizer05and I don't know what rtcomm logs to syslog on crashing. I never seen it crashing on my system21:22
DocScrutinizer05anyway I seem to recall a "segfault on typing" in *very* early maemo5 versions, related to either spellchecking or outocompletion. I never ran into that since I disabled both on my system21:23
DocScrutinizer05can't remember the details of the issue, but it got fixed in maybe PR1.1 anyway21:23
DocScrutinizer05nevertheless checking and maybe disabling spellchecking and autocompletion for input method would be a reasonable test21:24
meschendok. worth a try. I'll look. Thanx  a lot for helping. I need to leave now. Thnx!!21:24
