pupnik_no00:33
Arif_it's such a lazy port that they didn't even bother to let you TYPE your name in the profile creation00:33
Arif_you have to scroll around the letters and enter them one by one :P00:33
Arif_and there's no joystick support ={00:34

*** zap has quit IRC02:18

tybolltI think I checked that02:18
ShadowJKCC is like .. "Why do you need /credit/? Don't you have money? Oh you have money? Then you don't need credit. GTFO."02:18
ShadowJKor "Why do you need credit? Don't you have money? Oh you don't, then how can you pay? Oh you can't, well GTFO."02:18
tybolltarif: I sleep hard I need louder alarm :)02:19
Arif_I wake up from the vibration before the alarm even starts ringing02:19
Arif_:D02:19

Arif_ShadowJK, I have a bank card that I can't use on Ovi02:20
*** victorpoluceno has joined #maemo02:20
Arif_and I got banned from paypal because they found out I was <1802:20
Arif_=D02:20
ShadowJKlol02:20
ShadowJKbank cards are easy to get, because they aren't a loan :)02:20
Arif_I could get a cc too02:21
*** |R has quit IRC02:21
Arif_but why would I get one just to buy an overpriced half game02:21
Arif_;P02:21
jef91Anyone else had issues with AIM not being able to login under IM accounts?02:21
* Arif_ has no aim02:22
Arif_...wait02:22
Arif_that sounds wrong02:22
* Arif_ has no aim account!02:22
ShadowJKand CC's cost money, even when you fall in that narrow gap where you don't have too much money that asking for a loan is suspicious, and where you're not too poor to qualify for a loan02:23
zerojayjef91: If you are having a problem, look at Advanced options and see if a port number is listed. If not, add 5190.02:23
Arif_ShadowJK, they cost money to have too!02:24
Arif_like €50 a year02:24
Arif_which I can waste on other stuff ;(02:24
*** leandroal has joined #maemo02:24
jacekowskiShadowJK: well, i have free CC02:25
*** JoeBrain has joined #maemo02:25
jef91zerojay no dice on adding the port :(02:25
jacekowskiShadowJK: and for me it's better to use CC because i don't pay foreign transaction fee if i go abroad02:25
jacekowskiShadowJK: while on debit card i pay02:26
jacekowskiShadowJK: and if i pay it within 60 days there is no intrest02:26
* Arif_ pokes jacekowski with the EU02:26
jacekowskiinterest*02:26
jacekowskii'm in EU02:26
ShadowJKYeah that's what I meant :)02:26
ShadowJKArif_, it amazes me to this day that there are some sellers out there that don't accept normal bank cards, atleast with those they know immediately whether the customer has money or not02:26
Arif_you don't have those costs in the EU...at my bank at least :O02:27
jacekowskiArif_: i do have to pay fee if i use my debit card abroad02:27
Arif_hmm02:27
Arif_I don't02:27
jacekowskiArif_: but not if i pay with CC02:27
Arif_even in Turkey I can use it02:27
*** jgoss has joined #maemo02:27
Arif_ShadowJK, in Holland there's a payment method called iDEAL where you can pay on most Dutch webshops with your debit card02:28
Arif_that's why CCs aren't very popular here I guess02:28
zerojayjef91: Was it missing?02:28
jacekowskiwell, i've got visa debit and mastercard and maestro and amex02:28
jacekowskipretty much all you can get02:28
jef91zerojay Yes. And adding it made no change02:28
jacekowskiand i can pay pretty much everywhere with that debit card02:28
zerojayjef91: Check again. You might have canceled it instead of saving it.02:28
jef91the server is: login.messaging.aol.com02:28
jef91No it saved, I checked and double checked02:29
zerojayOkay, set yourself offline and the back online.02:29
Arif_I want the Mastercard paypass in .nl02:29
Arif_;(02:29
ShadowJKArif_, in finland you can pay without cards on most webshops, and the same transaction method is accepted as proof of ID (with 0euro transaction) :))02:29
Arif_how do you pay then02:29
Arif_at the door? :P02:29
ShadowJKonline02:30
*** jayabharath has joined #maemo02:30
Arif_bank transfer?02:30
Lumpio-It's not a 0EUR transaction02:30
Lumpio-They have a standard API for identification and it doesn't count as a transaction02:30
jef91Oh wait, yea just did that and it worked Zerojay thanks :D02:30
*** wazd has joined #maemo02:31
ShadowJKYou pay via your bank's web interface. It requires a username/pin, plus a one time password. Some banks have these little battery-operated keys that display a number that is unique for that key, and valid for half a minute at the time, or something, instead of the one-time password list02:31
Arif_ah02:32
Arif_that's the same as iDEAL here02:32
jacekowskithat's pointless02:32
jacekowskiit's not portable02:32
Arif_portable?02:32
jacekowskiCC is portable and accepted worldwide02:32
Arif_I'm not paying for a CC I'll never use ;p02:33
jacekowskiit's free here02:33
jacekowskiesspecialy if you could just generate like a one time CC number02:33
*** mikhas has quit IRC02:33
jacekowskiso you go to your bank webpage - generate CC with £1 to £1000 limit or whatever02:33
jacekowskiso you can use it on some suspicious website02:33
*** mikhas has joined #maemo02:34
Arif_wish we had free CCs02:34
Arif_it'd make buying crap off DX much more easier :D02:34
jacekowskii don't really understand how bank makes profit02:34
jacekowskiwhen i got my CC i had completly free acount02:34
Arif_they make money off people that don't pay their debt02:35
*** aloisiojr has quit IRC02:35
Arif_and part of your purchase goes to the CC company :p02:35
Lumpio-I doubt the money they charge you for credit cards or other services is really such a large part of their profit02:35
Lumpio-They collect interest02:35
jacekowskithey made profit on me only once02:35
Lumpio-I wonder if banks are allowed to invest their customers' money02:35
jacekowskiwhen i had to get 1k in the evening02:36
jacekowskiLumpio-: they are02:36
Lumpio-figures02:36
Arif_that's how they get bankrupt and the whole crisis nonsense started :P02:36
Lumpio-But yeah, that's how they make money.02:36
jacekowskiLumpio-: that's 10% has to go to bank of england02:36
Lumpio-what?02:36
jacekowskiLumpio-: and they can do whatever they want with 90%02:36
ShadowJKI think the best part of it is that it works without the need for cards that are decoupled from your real accounts, and you don't have to pay 50 Euro per year to Visa or Mastercard :)02:36
jacekowskiLumpio-: 10% of deposited money go to bank of england, and 90% is invested02:37
* Arif_ goes to sleep :yawn:02:37
ShadowJKThere would probably be cheaper CC's if Mastercard and Visa actually competed with eachother, but instead they formed luottokunta which is this cartel which controls credit cards and other forms of consumer credit.. but the point is, I don't want credit, I just want to move money from myself to the seller, and for this I don't wnat to go through the highly expensive mastercard/visa cartel, when there's an existing payments infracstructure in place, that w02:37
*** dl9pf_ has joined #maemo02:37
ShadowJKorks online, works in realtime, is easy to use, and costs me nothing :)02:38
jacekowskiShadowJK: i have free CC02:38
ShadowJKif Ovi wants to force me to use a card which, IF I QUALIFY to that narrow gap between not earning too much, and not earning too little, costs 50 - 300 Euro per year, then so be it...02:38
Lumpio-oh02:38
*** dl9pf has quit IRC02:38
*** dl9pf_ is now known as dl9pf02:38
*** dl9pf has joined #maemo02:38
jacekowskiand if you earn too much you don't have any problems getting CC02:38
jacekowskiit's when you earn too little02:39
*** rsalveti has quit IRC02:39
ShadowJKjacekowski, I tried before they told me I don't need credit because I had 10,000 on deposit, and gave me a bank card instead02:39

*** jayabharath has quit IRC02:41
pupnikhow do i stream thew party right now to irc?02:41
ShadowJKAnd apparently they don't do "0 credit" cards either.02:41
ShadowJKlike, pay 1000 or something into it in advance02:41
jacekowskiyou can always get debit card02:41
ShadowJKYeah but it rarely works on sites outside the country02:42
jacekowskidepends on card02:42
ShadowJKthough it works on paypal02:42
jacekowskiif you get like a visa debit02:42
jacekowskior something02:42
jacekowskiit works fine worldwide02:42
ShadowJKVisa Electron was what they offered before, it worked on paypal and ryanair, but that was about it :P02:43
*** pupnik has quit IRC02:43
ShadowJKi think they're offering visa debit now02:43
ShadowJKbut it costs more money than electron :/02:43
jacekowskigiving electron to people should be illegal02:43
*** ZogG has quit IRC02:43
jacekowskiit's pretty much useless02:43
*** pupnik has joined #maemo02:43
ShadowJKit cost 0 to use it with ryanair :D02:44
jacekowskiand well, as i said - it's free here02:44
ShadowJKwhile as using Visa or Visa Debit with ryanair costs something like 50E :)02:44
*** ZogG has joined #maemo02:44
Lumpio-jacekowski: Really?02:44
Lumpio-I've yet to ran to a place that doesn't accept Electron02:44
jacekowskimore like £502:44
Lumpio-I don't do that much online shopping though, and even then I'd rather not use a credit card. And PayPal accept Electron.02:45
jacekowskiLumpio-: whole africa02:45
pupnikyall im gonna N900 vid beautiful women02:45
jacekowskiLumpio-: north america02:45
Lumpio-Well I don't go to 3rd world countries like that02:45
pupnikbut no fast way to share the fun02:45
jacekowskiLumpio-: and lot of places in countries where banks don't give out electrons to people02:45
jacekowskilike UK02:45
Lumpio-I know it might be useless in foreign countries but I don't go to weird countries.02:45
jacekowskiUK isn't a strange country02:46
Lumpio-Also it's free until I turn 26 or something02:46
ShadowJKelectron works in most of europe, atleast in ATMs02:46
jacekowskinot here02:47
jacekowskionly place here that accepts electrons is mcdonalds02:47
*** Dantonic has joined #maemo02:48
ShadowJKI think 100% of shops here are accepting electron now... mostly because banks abolished bank cards and had to start issuing visa debit instead, so all the equipment had to be renewed anyway..02:49
ShadowJKand banks had to abolish the cheap bank cards because of eu :(02:49
jacekowskiit's not about equipment02:49
jacekowskibullshit02:49
jacekowskiit's bank policy02:49
*** setanta has quit IRC02:50
jacekowskibanks here in EU gives out free debit and credit cards02:50
ShadowJKNo they had to give up the bank cards because they don't work in all of eu02:50
*** slaxium has quit IRC02:50
ShadowJKand they can only issue new cards that work in all of eu02:50
jacekowskiand going back to equipment02:51
jacekowskiit's only software that decides what cards are supporte02:51
jacekowskid02:51
ShadowJKchip and pin too02:51

FunnyfaceHello, I am planning to buy an N900, and have looked around on the web about known issues with the devices. I found some threads where they discussed a microphone problem, random reboots, and some wifi and bluetooth bugs. But most of these threads date back to around Nov 2009. Any idea what the current state of these issues is?03:54
*** |Shadowed| has quit IRC03:56
dockaneFunnyface: i dont think you are going to get happy with n900 if you try to find a completly working smartphone. instead its fairly good working tablet with good enough working phone function set for the most nerds around me here03:57
Funnyfacedockane: I can live with most software related stuff, because there is mostly a workaround to that, but I don't want to end up with yet another device where the hardware simply doesn't work as expected, like my old smart phone :P03:59
ShadowJKThe random reboots was resolved an update03:59
ShadowJKin an*03:59
Funnyfaceok great03:59
ShadowJKI'm not sure about the status of microphone problems, but they should be covered under warranty03:59
ShadowJKI think the current big topic is the USB port03:59

Funnyfaceit comes loose after a while?04:00
*** tgalal_ has joined #maemo04:00
ShadowJKYeah. Some ports/plug combinations are very tight, and require a lot of force to unplug. The "workaround" seems to be to take the micro-usb plug and press the "teeth" in with your thumbnail, so that the latching force is reduced considerably, making it less likely that you'll damage the usb port04:01
Funnyfaceyeah sounds like an idea04:02
ShadowJKIn the original firmware, using wifi and bluetooth at the same time was pretty much a disaster. According to forums, this was "fixed" with the first major update04:02
ShadowJKbluetooth is as good as bluetooth in general is, in my experience..04:02
ShadowJKMight I ask what kind of user you are? on the scale of the generic "N900 looks like an awesome phone" type (I doubt, since you use freenode?), and "I'm a linux power user and want a linuxphone"-type, where would you say you are? ;-)04:04

ShadowJKFunnyface, re wifi, there's a bug that hits some people when they leave home for work and such, that the wifi is left consuming power. It helps to disable "Switch to WLAN when available", and also a "ifconfig wlan0 down" from a rootshell works. There was supposedly a fix for this in the last minor upgrade, and I haven't encountered the issue myself since then.04:07
Funnyfacehehe well that's fine04:08
ShadowJKIn general, there are some phone features and some smartphone features, that some people except to be present, missing from the N90004:08

FunnyfaceI might get some high capacity battery later on if I order the N900. haven't found any such batteries yet, but it might be an idea for a device like this04:09
nomisAre there smartphones where the battery lasts e.g. a week?04:10
ShadowJKMugen power has one, or will have one, it increases the thickness of the N900 (some people think it's too thick already).04:10
ShadowJKnomis, no. Not if you use them.04:10
rasterhmm speaking of n900... why is the maemo5 sdk so screwed?04:10
rasterit never sets sbox_emulation_method04:10
ShadowJKnomis, My N900 lasts longer on battery than my Nokia E75, and the N900 does more work04:10
ShadowJKSince the browser allows multiple windows, I enter a forum and open each thread in a new window and then read them. This results in more web pages displayed than on E75. Yet it lasts longer on battery04:11
*** victorpoluceno has quit IRC04:11
Funnyfaceit's probably going to be better than my current windows mobile phone anyway, 2 hours of use at the most and the battery is dead04:11
luke-jrnomis: N810 claimed a month, but lasted 3 hours or so at best :p04:12
nomis:)04:12
ShadowJKI always had Instant Messaging (IRC) and stuff going on the E75 too though. People who don't run anything internet on E75, and just use it to make phone calls, probably get a week or two of standby life.04:12
ShadowJKBut I was at about 7 hours casual use and 12 hours idle (on IRC, screen off) use with it.04:12
rasternomis: yes. most smartphones will last a week - if you turn off wifi, bt, never actually turn the screen on or run anything and keep it on 2g mode.04:13
raster:)04:13
luke-jrShadowJK: IRC is just asking for trouble :P04:13
luke-jrat least if you're in any active channels04:13
Funnyfacedoes 2G in fact consume less power than 3G?04:13
ShadowJKMy N900 does about 14-18 hours in the idling on irc scenario, and about 12 hours in the irc+casual browsing while at work scenario :)04:13
luke-jrsomeone needs to make a smart Quassel client <.<04:13

*** wizkoder has quit IRC04:13
luke-jrtell the server to only talk when the window is active or needs to highlight your nick04:14
ShadowJKFunnyface, especially if you use anything that transfers small amounts of data frequently, like instant messaging, skype, irc, msn, etc04:14
rasteras such with normal usage (noirmal meanign the average joe - ie u take phone out ot check time a few times a day, do a bit of messaging, a few sharot-ish calls) most phones - smartphones included should last about 24hrs04:14
rasterand then be low enough to need a recharge04:14
rasterthats pretty much the norm04:14
*** wizkoder has joined #maemo04:15
rasterregardless what u read in the hrs of talk/standby etc. time thats what the average seems to hover around04:15
Funnyfacealright. I never noticed much of a difference with my current device04:15
ShadowJKThe problem with 3g is that a single packet of data transfered keeps the radio active for some 5-10 seconds (this is something somewhat inherent to 3g tech, depends alot on the operator too), so if yo have a few IM accounts with their keep-alive packets, background protocol data, some chat activity, etc, the 3g radio is kept constantly transmitting and the battery drains in 3-6 hours :)04:15
Funnyfacebut I guess that the rest of the hardware consumes more power, so the radio's consumption is kind of insignificant04:16
ShadowJKgprs/edge is much better for that case. wifi (with a proper Access Point that supports wifi powersaving) is even better04:16
*** anotnac has quit IRC04:16

ShadowJKThere are ways to make the N900 battery die in 1.5 hours too :)04:17
ShadowJKLike downloading at 10 megabits/sec from 3g for 1.5 hours04:17
rasterFunnyface: with screen off and cpu on buyt in a lowe power mode (eg clocked down to 50 or 100mhz as it may be when u sit on im but are not actively participating) your modem wi.ll consume a large amount of your power04:17
rasterprobably at least half04:17
ShadowJKmore than half :)04:18
raster(if its kept active)04:18
Funnyfaceand just one last thing.. if I somehow manage to screw up maemo so it won't boot, can the device be reinstalled without maemo running?04:18
ShadowJKyes04:18
Funnyfaceok04:19

ShadowJKwarning: battery charging doesn't work when maemo is screwed04:19

ShadowJKso do your screwing with full battery ;)04:19
sheepbatcharge it first04:19
Funnyfacehehe ok04:19
Funnyfacewell in the worst case I guess I could get hold of a second battery04:20
ShadowJKAnd you need to be able to follow instructions in order to reflash with dead OS04:20
Funnyfaceor charge mine in someone else's devices04:20
ShadowJKsomething like remove battery, plug in cable, start flasher on host PC, press u and hold on device, put in battery...04:20
ShadowJKi forget the exact sequence, but it's on the wiki..04:20
ShadowJKyeah.04:20
Funnyfaceyeah, as long as I won't leave the device bricked because of a software issue, it is fine04:21
rasterFunnyface: i've had to reflash mine mayve 10 times since i got it around end of the year. it bricked itself while in my pocket too04:22
Funnyfacehaha04:23
rastersomehow it managed to un-brick if i plugged and unplugged it in often enough so finsally a usb device registered and i could run flasher04:23
ShadowJKWe don't have energy profiling on N900.. but if I cheat and compare N810/N800 idling with xchat on IRC, which is about 20-30 milliamps... and E75 sharing 3g/hsdpa over bluetooth to the idling N810.. then the 3f radio part is about 90% of power.. :/04:23
rasterand cosmic rays hit it at the right time and place04:23

rasteri've been hit by the "stuck dot" problem after it totally crashed badly and rebooted about 10 times04:25
rasterthus the reflash04:25
Funnyfaceare you trying to scare me into not getting one, or is this issues you've actually had? :P04:26
rasterShadowJK:  they happen to toehr people. it just happens to me on a daily/hourly/minutely basis.04:26
ShadowJKsucks :(04:26
dockaneme uses n900 for an average request of 10 websites per day, half and half done via umts and wlan, 2-3 calls and 2-3 h mp3 playback. baterrey has to be reloaded every 1.5 days04:26
johnsu01Mine had the stuck dot probably when I first got it, but flashing it has fixed it04:26

johnsu01it's been very stable since, at least as stable as symbian on my old e6104:27
ShadowJKI think I've had one unexpected reset/reboot in total since getting it in december :)04:28
rasteralso the sdk so far is pretty arsetastic04:28
rasterdownload and install pere instructions04:28
rastercomes up with no sbox emulation method set04:28
rasterso nothnig compiles04:28
rasterfan-bloody tastic04:29
ShadowJKdunno, the SDK is somewhat easier than installing codesourcery and figuring out how to manually crosscompile random things :)04:29
rasteru ned up fiddling and guessing - usntalling some extra qemu packages on host it didnt04:29
rasterthen u can finally select a cputransp method as its offered in sb-menu04:29
ShadowJKbut then again I just downloaded the ubuntu vm image with the sdk already setup04:29
rasterand.. it still doesnt set the emualation method env04:29

Funnyfaceouch04:32
johnsu01I'm pretty sure mine would die much quicker than that -- it's only good for about an hour of bluetooth tethering (but I think I got a defective battery)04:32
rasterlet me try this sdk install.. for try #404:32
FunnyfaceI paid like $12 for the high capacity battery for my old phone04:32
Funnyface:p04:32
ShadowJKThe problem with N900 is that there are a shitload of clueful users, mugen can't just put out a "3000mAh" battery, because the users would quickly figure out it isn't 3000 :)04:32
ShadowJKIt's kinda scary really.. Mugen is highly regarded as the best provider of third party batteries... but the "1800mAh battery" I got from them for my N800 turned out to advertise itself (to the device) as 1200mAh, and in my test, it tested as 1200 :)04:33
rasterwonderful waste of money there04:33
ShadowJKMind, it's a Li-Ion so it's holding up better with age than the original Lithium Polymer batteries for N800 and N810 :)04:34
rasterFunnyface: invariably capacity increases will mean size increases04:34
rasterso generalluy a high capacity baery is really not possible to stick inthe same space04:34
Funnyfaceraster: yeah it'll need a thicker back cover04:34
rasterunless they have a massive improvement in battery tech stuck in there - which is realtivelt unlikely04:34
rasterFunnyface:  yup.04:34
rasterif u can make it bigger -0 then you can double the capacity...04:35
Funnyfacealso, I believe when you have a double capacity battery, it'll last for longer than twice as long04:35
ShadowJKLike, if you buy an original Nokia battery from some random e-tailer, chances are the battery has sat on the shelf for so long that its actual capacity is below the Mugen's 1200mAh... And certainly, if you buy the mugen because you've owned the N8x0 for awhile, discovered more things to use it for, but want more battery life, then chances are the fresh Mugen at 1200mAh will have more capacity than the original old nokia that was 1500mAh a year ago :)04:35
Funnyfacebecause small batteries struggle at delivering peak power efficiently04:35
ShadowJKyes04:35
Funnyfaceif you run all the power consuming features at once on the normal battery, and that means 30% losses in heat, a double sized battery (of equal quality) will mean only 15% losses04:36
ShadowJKAgain using my N8x0 as example, because I've got a fairly accurate metering setup there, there's about 10%-20% difference (with a slightly aged battery) between use as media player (high drain) and idle internet chat (medium drain) :)04:36

*** kimitake_idle has quit IRC04:51
ShadowJKthe booster use with N900 is kinda hard04:52
DocScrutinizerI'd prefer to drill 2 1mm holes to the original backlid and build a DIY piggyback to hold a number of AAA04:52
ShadowJKlike, I used to plug/unplug the booster when taking the device out of pocket, etc04:52
DocScrutinizerto snap on04:52
ShadowJKbut with the microusb the damn plugging/unplugging takes ages to not only align the plug, but also rotate it...04:53
ShadowJKthey should really have added some plastic bits to the hole to guide it into the receptable04:53
ShadowJKinstead of just leaving the hole, and then the smaller metal hole of the receptable...04:53
DocScrutinizerhrey fsckng should have added 3mm barrel charger receptacle04:54
ShadowJKthe plug goes in, but you only just cleared the plastic and you're pushing the plug against the exterior metal shell :(04:54
DocScrutinizermaybe the 1mm like on n81004:54
ShadowJKi think they call it 2mm04:54

rastertotally pointless05:31
lcukn900nomis really?  was it practical?05:32
rasterwhen u already have a solution - right there. samba and network file shares05:32
nomislcukn900: it works neatly. The problem starts, when file data changes - there is no way to notify the usb host that it should discard cached data.05:32
rasternomis: let the problems begin :)05:32
lcukn900isnt that the same with fat05:32
rasterno05:33
DocScrutinizersftp for linux, ftw. forget nfs05:33
rasterbecause fat assumes a block device05:33
DocScrutinizeraka FUSE05:33
rasterand a block device doesnt change conent unless the user of that device - the os with the fat fs, changes it05:33

rasteryou dont have to change any other device anywhere on the planet05:37
lcukn900what other devices use it05:37
nomisraster: except that a networked filesystem over USB is a huge usability problem for >90% of the users.05:37
nomisheck, even the usb network itself is.05:38
rasternomis: how? on windows, mac and linux your remote host will be brought up - if you solve the "configure the ip asddress" problem (run a dhcpd on the device that advertises an ip, but no gatewaye or dns)05:38
rasterso it will come up - auto-configure ip05:39
lcukn900and usb networking from n900 to any of my computers requires a wizards hat and a spell book05:39

nomisif you assume a working Wifi/Network infrastructure.05:40
lcukn900raster i agree. a better way exists.  but to ignore a backup standard is folly05:40
rasternomis: even without one. plug into host. host sees usb network device. a windows/mac/linux host will send a dhcp request05:41
rasterdhcpd on the n900 hears it and configures up usb net device so its a local loop only - no gateway etc. etc.05:41

ali1234the problem is that "pc mode" lacks automatic filesharing capability, nothing more05:43

ali1234the irony is that mass storage mode only exists for windows users05:43

rasterali1234:  correct. if pc mode had auto file shareing u wouldnt need mass storage (except for rare situations where u can manually ask for it as opposed to have to ask for it every time u are plugged in)05:44
nomisali1234: how do you transfer files via USB when in PC suite mode?05:44

luke-jrsigh05:46
rasterDocScrutinizer:  u mean u cant get rif of it because u need vfat because of camera?05:46
luke-jrit should just emulate a USB hub with both mass storage AND networking...05:46
Termana_n810luke-jr - is it ok to PM you?05:46
DocScrutinizerexactly05:46
rasterluke-jr: u cant.05:46
luke-jrTermana_n810: yeah, but I might not see it :P05:46
luke-jrraster: u can. :p05:46
rasterDocScrutinizer:  thats another issue - bug in camera stuff05:46
nomisluke-jr: no need for a hub. You can implement multiple classes within a device. The PC suite mode does this.05:47
luke-jrnomis: but does Windows support it sanely?05:47
rasterluke-jr:  u cant. u cant BOTH mount a mass storage device AND offer it via file sharing over a network05:47
rasterits a file system and cn be mounted 1 place only05:47
ali1234actually you can do mass storage and networking at the same time but the problem is that you can't have the partition mounted while it is in user for mass storage05:47
DocScrutinizerraster: if that bug weren't there I'd not have any VFAT to mass-storage-share05:47
luke-jrraster: I didn't say to offer it over network05:47
nomisluke-jr: well, it has to. Otherwise the pc suite mode would not work on windows :)05:47
ali1234also mass storage does not preclude the use of other filesystems05:47
rasteru can try and add fat emulation layers on top of a real host os - u will have lots of troubles05:47

ali1234you can use obex-ftp at the same time as any other service05:49
rasterali1234: DocScrutinizer is talking about the camera app on the n900 breaking if fs is not fat05:49
rasternothing to do with windows there05:49
ali1234yeah, that's another reason05:49
*** Wild_Doogy has left #maemo05:49
rasteri'm talking more about nuking the entire mass storage thing05:49
rasterand that removes the need for fat on the system as a result05:50
rasterand that lets you then choose whatever fs you like05:50
rasterand then the fs would likely not be fat (ext3 or something else) and then camera app likely would not break as it would not be assuming fat anymore but a real proper host fs05:50
luke-jrraster: better fat than ext305:50
rasterand just saying that network can do all the same functions as usb storage - almost as nicely for most os's05:51

ShadowJKiirc low battery warning comes at about 3.5Volt and the software shuts down before 3.2Volt21:46
* MohammadAG is charging from a USB atm (PS3 PSU rocks!)21:46
ShadowJKdjkrikke, it requires negotiation with the host device, which requires the n900 to turn on, which requires power in the battery21:47
djkrikkeooh I see21:47
