VenemoCorsac, yes, 39-500:54
VenemoDocScrutinizer, I used to follow that thread00:56
VenemoDocScrutinizer, what's new?00:56
DocScrutinizernothing yet, your contribution missing ;-P00:57
DocScrutinizerthough starting arbitrary binaries as *user* seems isn't all new00:58
Venemoit was only news for me01:00
Venemoworks out of the box if you flash N950 with 39-5 and enable developer mode01:01
Venemoif you updated with ota, you will need to reinstall a bunch of packages and then it'll work too.01:01
Venemowell, I'm only interested in this from app developer point of view, but you can find my info about this here: http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=400001:02

Chaz6Dont know, but reminds me of a bug i found11:04
Chaz6I had an sms tone i used fine in my n8 that didnt work on n911:04
Chaz6It was quite short, so to get it to work i had to add some silence to the end of it11:04
Chaz6Without the silence I could not select it11:04
qronicI'm using standard from the factory alarm sound11:04
qronicso I guess it's not quite it11:05

Venemo_DUI (Direct UI) is the old designation of the MeeGo Touch Framework17:25
Stskeepsor, developing under the influence17:25
Venemo_hm?17:26
StskeepsDUI17:27
Stskeeps:P17:27
Venemo_but why "developing under influence"? :D17:27
*** niqt has quit IRC17:27
Stskeepsmore of a historical thing17:29
Stskeeps:P17:29
Venemo_:D17:32
DocScrutinizerdialer, calculator etc are kinda freaky UI - tap and hold a digit, sile off zhe digit and back on to it - watch what happens17:36
DocScrutinizerslide*17:36
DocScrutinizerin calculator deleting results by the digit via "backspace" is nonsense17:38
DocScrutinizercool: they were clever enough to disable "standby screen" (the clock display) when proximity sensor suggests device is in pocket17:40
DocScrutinizer(N9)17:40
DocScrutinizernot cool: the display update of standby clock screen - on new minute - is freaking jerky17:42
DocScrutinizerlooks like there are 3 refreshes done, with short blackouts in between17:43
DocScrutinizeraah, and that standby screen still seems to contribute to >30% battery consumption/day, without even WLAN enabled17:45
fralswell17:45
frals30% battery comsumption when nothing else is consuming battery...17:45
DocScrutinizersmaller fontsize will *drastically* reduce power consumption17:46
*** roop_ has quit IRC17:46
DocScrutinizerdue to way less bright pixels17:46
fralsbecause i assume you didnt mean it lost 30% of a full charge in one day with everything else off17:46
fralsand you somehow pinpointed those 30% to standby screen :)17:47
DocScrutinizerthat's exactly what I meant, frals17:47
fralshow did you attribute this to the standby screen?17:47
DocScrutinizerI never did17:47
fralssince i have a device on with inet connection disabled and it has never lost 30% in one day when its not being poked17:48
DocScrutinizer>>  seems to contribute to >30% battery <<17:48
DocScrutinizerfrals: stock system, no SIM, no installed apps, no installed WLAN connectivity, charged to 100% some <20h ago, since then it sits there idle with time display - now down 67%17:50
DocScrutinizerlemme redo this check - I'm not sure I never touched it and played with camera whatever since I unplugged it17:53
DocScrutinizerso - scratch the whole comment about 30% - for now17:53
DocScrutinizerI may be wrong17:54

*** RST38h has joined #harmattan18:02
DocScrutinizermaking friend with N9, but not to a degree where I could do anything regarding messing with hw yet18:02
RST38hMoo, Doc18:04
RST38hHow is N9?18:04
DocScrutinizernot even dared to go online with that device for any prolonged time, to avoid possible forced updates to any even newer fw version18:04
DocScrutinizerRST38h: shiny18:04
DocScrutinizerfriggin shiny18:04
Venemo_DocScrutinizer, "to avoid possible forced updates to any even newer fw version" -> what's the point in that?18:05
RST38hyeah - handled it in a store yesterday18:05
RST38hDoc: Nokia Russia seems to be treating it as a flagship btw18:05
RST38hbased on the amount of advertising...18:05
DocScrutinizerVenemo_: what's the point of my N950 still on 22-6? Paegis :-/18:05
Venemo_DocScrutinizer, well, I'll want hostmode on the newest firmware.18:05
Venemo_so...18:05
DocScrutinizerVenemo_: you won't get that, any time18:06
SpeedEvilDeveloping hostmode is a seperate thing from implementing it on user devices.18:06
DocScrutinizerhostmode is impossible on *any* stock firmware18:06
Venemo_DocScrutinizer, why is that18:07
DocScrutinizerPaegis18:07
DocScrutinizerwe'll inevitably need a hostmode enabled kernel for that - at least that's the scientific recent knowledge about the issue18:08
Venemo_so what.18:08
Venemo_you make an aegis manifest file for your package18:08
Venemo_and it'll work18:08
SpeedEvilErr - no.18:09
SpeedEvilNot to install kernel modules.18:09
DocScrutinizerso I'm not going to update devel devices to any more restrictive stock FW for the shits'n'giggles18:09
SpeedEvilin addition, you can't get all tokens.18:09
SpeedEvilEven through ovi store, you can't get kernel module install token.18:09
DocScrutinizerand for now I'm still missing any official stock Nokia HARM image to reflash N918:10
Venemo_hm.18:11
DocScrutinizerso messing with kernels etc on that N9 was rather insane a thing to do right now, in my book18:11
DocScrutinizerI *might* have to go the meegoCE path even, to do *anything* for HEN918:12
Venemo_mhmm18:13
DocScrutinizerI got a "cracked" 22-6 N950 where I can mess with hw the way I like, to check what are the chips and how they work - not so on N918:13
*** vladest has quit IRC18:14

*** Jonno has joined #harmattan18:17
DocScrutinizerso I couldn't even test if my N950 success on enabling vboost 5V-VBUS would work at all on N9, due to newer FW which I don't exactly feel like trying to free it up / de-Paegis it right now18:18

VelmontI'm looking into using unison myself. It's very handy, more like dropbox, in that it does two-way syncing.18:45
fluxscifig, actually would you call it rsync-like?18:46
fluxscifig, I'm under the understanding that you cannot really do a 'full backup' each time, that only transfers modifierd parts, like you can with rsync18:47
pinheiromy n950 now decided to keep asking me for my passwords all the time18:47
pinheirowhats up with that?18:47
fluxso you typically transfer only increments, but because you cannot keep doing that either (eventually the increments are larger than multiple fulls), you need to fall back to doing a full and that again takes time a lot :)18:47
Scifigflux, I should correct myself. It is based on rsync. And yes, it only transfers modified parts which is ideal to save on network traffic if you are taking remotebackups. You can configure it take full backups after x backups or y months AFAIK18:50
fluxscifig, so when doing you want the full image to arrive to the backup site, it can optimize the transfers so that it doesn't copy everything, if it already has a previous image?18:51
Scifigcorrect18:52
fluxhmm, then I should reinvestigate duplicity18:52
DocScrutinizerrsync reduces data volume on channel by only transferring diffs, but the mirror is no incremental backup, it's always a full representation of the source - plus files that got deleted on source but stay on mirror18:52
*** Jonno has quit IRC18:53
fluxI thought duplicity simply used rsync's diff algorithm for storing incrementals, so that it doesn't maintain 'a full copy' image on the server18:53

DocScrutinizernfc what duplicity does18:54
DocScrutinizerrsync however creates an exact copy of source on mirror, and simply keeps it in sync. No versioning18:55
ScifigMy configuration was  --full-if-older-than 2W18:55
Scifigfor duplicity18:55
fluxdocscrutinizer, yes, but rsync doesn't do encryption, which is great to have if you don't 100% trust the storage18:55
DocScrutinizerummm18:55
DocScrutinizerif I don't trust the storage I'll use cryptfs18:56
DocScrutinizerand mount that remotely18:56
fluxbut does rsync work efficiently in that case?18:56
fluxbecause I would imagine rsync expects fast access to 'local files'18:56
DocScrutinizernothing can work "effectively" on an untrusted storage18:57
ScifigDocScrutinizer, Does cryptfs encrypt a folder/partition or the complete filesystem?18:58
fluxI cannot see how that be an axiom.18:58
fluxit may not be easy, and it may not be as efficient as rsync currently is (ie: file-level), but a useful solution could exist, IMHO18:59
DocScrutinizerflux: just think a bit about how you'd attack such a setup, then you'll find it's (once more) the problem of "trusted computing"19:00
fluxdocscrutinizer, well, think of a setup where you locally first encrypt a file with a symmetric key, and rsync that to the remote system19:01
fluxdocscrutinizer, if you do modify the file (a block-based cipher), you can efficiently rsync that again to the peer19:01
fluxactually, you could do that with ecryptfs already, hm :). you would just rsync the encrypted files with the remote, which doesn't know anything about encryption.19:02
DocScrutinizerif your encrypted file is easily diff-able than your encryption is next to useless19:02
flux(actually encfs)19:03
fluxwhen you modify a file on an encrypted filesystem, do you expect that the whole file gets modified within your block storage?19:03
Scifigflux, or rsync an un-encrypted file to a remote filesystem/volume(?) encrypted using cryptfs?19:04
fluxscifig, something like that. but actually now that I think of it, it would sort of need to be the reverse of encfs, unless you want to encrypt the files locally19:04
fluxscifig, so you could mount an 'encrypted view' of a plain text filesystem19:05
fluxsomething that mounted with (say) encfs gets decrypted properly19:05
DocScrutinizerif you don't encrypt locally, you got a huge open attack vector, just strace the remote process19:05
*** Jonno has joined #harmattan19:06
fluxI never intended in my scneario that plain text would leave the source host19:06
ScifigDocScrutinizer, Didn't think of that. Good to know.19:06
fluxbasically: view-as-encrypted-mount /tmp/plaintext /tmp/encrypted; rsync -a /tmp/encrypted remotehost:19:07
fluxbut, it would need to store some additional data in /tmp/encrypted, such as file-specific keys19:07
fluxand it would need to create such keys if they don't already exist19:07
*** NIN101 has quit IRC19:07
fluxnow I understand there some chance that some cryptoanalysis could be performed if you encrypt the same block twice with the same key..19:08
fluxbut perhaps there are some ways to solve that19:08
flux(same block as in the same offset of the file but with perhaps different content)19:09
DocScrutinizeruse an incremental backup scheme locally to create a local "diff", encrypt it, save it to any storage by any means, no need and use for rsync via open channel in that case19:11
*** Venemo_ is now known as Venemo19:12
ScifigDocScrutinizer, Doesn't rsync need access to the un-encrypted backup image to calculate the diffs?19:12
fluxthe problem (solvable?) is that you need to have the previous image for that19:13
fluxmaybe you can keep a snapshot around with lvm19:13
DocScrutinizerScifig: where's rsync used in my last posted proposal?19:13
DocScrutinizerflux: you usually keep a list of mtimes/md5sums19:14
DocScrutinizerand "backup" whole files for the changed parts19:15
DocScrutinizerif you want to do true diff then obviously you need a full version of the old state locally19:15
fluxdocscrutinizer, would the other end then finally have lists of incrementals?19:15
DocScrutinizersure19:17
fluxfor example, my local backup system has dozens of 'full' images of my system with diffs stored with the rsync algorithm, and I never need to actually transfer everything again19:17
fluxI wonder how easily that would be implemented with an encrypting system19:17
DocScrutinizeryou do a find / -newer lastbackuptagfile -exec add_to_tarball, then you encrypt the tarball19:18
fluxeventually the incrementals will end up being larger than the original base image, though19:19
DocScrutinizerflux: sorry you completely lost me on "diffs stored with the rsync algo"19:19
DocScrutinizerflux: BS19:20
DocScrutinizerthis is impossible to happen19:20
fluxdocscrutinizer, how do you choose which tar incrementals to remove from the remote server?19:21
DocScrutinizerif you simply create a tarball of only the changed files, this tarball never can get larger than the original set of data19:21
fluxbut the base image + n incrementals can get a lot larger than 2 times the base image19:21
fluxif you never 'reset' and transfer the base image again19:21

berndhsask a lawyer, see what you can get away with19:24
fluxwhat can you purge? the oldest incrementals? the base image?19:24
fluxassuming you don't want to lose any files that are still in the file system, and that you don't want to transfer them again either19:24
DocScrutinizerplease read a good manpage about backup, there are schemes suggested19:24
*** Scifig_ has joined #harmattan19:26
fluxafaik BackupPC works by storing the latest image and previous versions are always diffs to the next version, this way it can just remove the oldest incremental19:26
fluxoops, that wasn't coherent19:26
DocScrutinizerhttp://linux.die.net/man/8/dump19:26
fluxdocscrutinizer, what those backup tools always require is a periodic full transfer19:27
fluxand I would rather not do it, if transferring a full image takes a week, or a month.19:27
*** Scifig has quit IRC19:28
DocScrutinizererrr19:28
DocScrutinizerhttp://linux.die.net/man/8/dump19:28
fluxdump is written in the age of tape drives. you don't really do tape backups without making a full in a periodic fashion. unless you have inifinite supply of takes.19:30
fluxtapes, even.19:30
DocScrutinizerflux: basics of backup management are completely understood and haven't changed since age of Hollerith punchcards19:32
DocScrutinizerand dump isn't doing useless stuff for the mere "because we *can* (and are too lazy to think about better ways)"19:33
DocScrutinizerif you bother to read and *understand* that manpage, you'll see dump provides a few elementary methods and suggests a scheme to use them. Both the methods and the scheme are valid no matter what's your backup storage media, or your channel, or whatever19:34

DocScrutinizerflux: as you can not consolidate on your mirror server (it's "untrusted", mind?), there's no other way than either store all 356 incremental backups (at that point you could actually purge the original full image as it has no more relevant data in it, which is known only by your source system as mirror server doesn't know about filenames and relations between them and full image) - or you do another full image every 14 days19:47
*** kgutteridge has joined #harmattan19:48
DocScrutinizeror you remote mount (fuse) a cryptfs file from your mirror server to local, and rsync to that19:48
DocScrutinizer..to that local cryptfs volume19:49
DocScrutinizeryou may want to keep local incrementals (like unionfs etc) to keep versions, each mounted to one of 14 cryptfs files on your mirror19:50
Scifig_DocScrutinizer, FWIW duplicity works similar to how u suggested earlier. That is, generate diffs,  encrypt the diffs (it uses gpg) and transfer them to the remote location. It has option to create full backup every 'x' days/weeks/months19:52
fluxdocscrutinizer, in the first solution purging of the original data would need to occur in steps, or at day 364 there would be 1.99 times the original data. but something like the cryptfs would work, but it requires keeping the data encrypted locally as well.19:53
DocScrutinizeron a trusted mirror things are of course way simpler, as you could consolidate there, means create a true open image of the full data that always represents state of 14 days ago, and then you "restore" the oldest 14th incremental backup to the mirror full image and then purge that incremental backup file19:53
fluxbut I'm hoping someone, some day, will write a simple tool that lets me mindlessly run commands and it just works ;)19:53
DocScrutinizerrestore *locally* - no data transfer involved as the mirror "updates" local full image from now-15d to now-14d20:01
DocScrutinizerfor obvious reasons all this can't be done if you store crypted data on your backup mirror20:02

griwhat type of process do you daemonize?23:06
artemmaflickr wallpaper downloaded23:07
artemmaright now it is started by alarmd everyday (or every hour, etc)23:07
grifor example if you create a dbus-controlled service, this gets started automatically when someone tries to call functions on your service and it's not running23:07
grihmm ok23:07
artemmahmm23:07
artemmaso alarmd started service can write only to /var/tmp that is fine.. until a reboot when tmp is cleaned23:07
griwell, you can work around that with dbus23:08

artemmadbus-controlled service is something I didn't know about23:08

artemmaoh. So just a simple message can do that!23:14

griI could reflash the N9 tomorrow to test if no one replied23:26
grihaven't even used it right now since the n950 has the newer firmware23:27
