h4waii | MohammadAG51; Not fixed, thusfar. | 00:04 |
tobis87 | daleglass: You did run depmod? Maybe it is just unstable with the power kernel or it does not lookup the module options in modprobe.d? You could try to delete the module with the rescue kernel http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Using_Rescue_Initrd but I have not tried this yet. | 00:06 |

daleglass | tobis87: hm, that flashes the kernel though. I don't think it leaves the normal one in place? | 00:12 |
daleglass | and that's a meego wiki, too | 00:12 |
h4waii | What's the issue? | 00:13 |
*** rcg1 has quit IRC | 00:13 | |
tobis87 | "NOTE: Here we do not flash the kernel or initrd to the device, but only load them to the device memory during the boot. Original images are restored when the device is restarted. " | 00:13 |
daleglass | I screwed up the boot scripts a bit too much, so I'm going to flash it | 00:13 |
daleglass | ah, hm | 00:14 |
tobis87 | But flashing should be more safe, since "WARNING: Improper use or installation of the image may harm your device" | 00:14 |
*** kwtm has quit IRC | 00:15 | |
mece | I'm more into mooning than flashing, to be quite honest. | 00:15 |
*** Tuco11 has joined #maemo | 00:15 | |
h4waii | Mooning will arouse males and females, if done properly. | 00:15 |
mece | exactly! | 00:16 |
h4waii | It's a win-win situation. | 00:16 |
*** kwtm has joined #maemo | 00:16 | |
mece | and on that bombshell, it's time to say goodnight. | 00:16 |
daleglass | what about streaking? | 00:16 |
h4waii | That's just gross dude. | 00:16 |
*** mece has left #maemo | 00:16 | |
tobis87 | thank you guys, I now know what mooning means... :-D | 00:16 |
h4waii | You're a real pervert, daleglass | 00:16 |
*** guardian has joined #maemo | 00:17 | |

ieatlint | furries are just disturbed people | 00:20 |
MohammadAG51 | h4waii, fixed for me | 00:20 |
DocScrutinizer | meh, writing to MyDocs seems to freeze device every time. Funny sidenote: even my desktop had one CPU core 100% busy with wa, in USB ass rage mode. N900 100% busy wa, ssh now frozen on starting htop, after it been working long time unaffected by even system tray clock stopped | 00:21 |
DocScrutinizer | now... "it's dead, Jim!" :-( | 00:21 |
MNZ | math help needed: how would I convert from a frequency range (ex. 1mHz to 2mHz) into octaves? | 00:23 |
MohammadAG51 | h4waii, so? | 00:23 |
*** mrmoku is now known as mrmoku|away | 00:24 | |
tobis87 | mece: btw, do you have found out why you're modified libhildonfm likes to restart the device? | 00:24 |
DocScrutinizer | octave = freq * 2 | 00:24 |
lcuk | MNZ, wikipedia | 00:24 |
daleglass | ieatlint: I'm not going to argue that I'm pretty weird, whatever is the word that best describes my kind of it, heh | 00:24 |
lcuk | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octave | 00:24 |
DocScrutinizer | err octave = 2 | 00:24 |
lcuk | For example, if one note has a frequency of 400 Hz, the note an octave above it is at 800 Hz, and the note an octave below is at 200 Hz. The ratio of frequencies of two notes an octave apart is therefore 2:1. Further octaves of a note occur at 2n times the frequency of that note (where n is an integer), such as 2, 4, 8, 16, et | 00:25 |
*** guardian has quit IRC | 00:25 | |
DocScrutinizer | so f` = f0 * 1octave = f0 * 2 | 00:25 |
ieatlint | daleglass: sorry, i don't mean to be offensive, but when someone tells me they are actually an animal in a human body, it exceeds my level of wanting to deal with it | 00:26 |
ieatlint | and i've met just too many furries at parties and such | 00:26 |
MNZ | so double the frequency = difference of one octave. I just can't go from there to 'arbitrary difference in frequency = x octaves' | 00:27 |
daleglass | ieatlint: eh, I don't get that much into it. I just like the esthetics to put it in some way | 00:27 |
tobis87 | about audio sampling and other interesting stuff: http://xiph.org/video/vid1.shtml | 00:28 |
lcuk | bah ieatlint live and let live, some people wear business suits, some people wear shell suits, some people wear diving suits and others wear furry suits | 00:28 |
ieatlint | dressing up is fine.. | 00:28 |
DocScrutinizer | MNZ: f1 *2^x = f2 | 00:28 |
ieatlint | it's just the psychological part that is simply ... ergh, not sure i want to put a name on it | 00:29 |
*** drizztbsd_ has joined #maemo | 00:29 | |
MNZ | DocScrutinizer, thanks | 00:30 |
*** drizztbsd_ has quit IRC | 00:31 | |
lcuk | meh ieatlint, theres bigger problems in the world than worrying what other people are upto | 00:31 |
*** drizztbsd has quit IRC | 00:32 | |
ieatlint | heh, more of an issue that i've dealt with people trying to convince me they're a squirrel than me trying to convince them they're not | 00:32 |
*** marciom has quit IRC | 00:32 | |
*** setanta has quit IRC | 00:33 | |
lcuk | ieatlint, why would you try to convince them they arent? | 00:33 |
ieatlint | i didn't | 00:34 |
lcuk | speaking of which | 00:34 |
ieatlint | one learns very quickly to not try and convince people who think bizarre things that they are wrong | 00:34 |
lcuk | i have a massive craving for peanuts now | 00:35 |
DocScrutinizer | pffft, had to rip out battery | 00:35 |
DocScrutinizer | shit! | 00:35 |
DocScrutinizer | now awaiting damaged VFAT | 00:36 |
daleglass | people believe all kinds of bizarre things, hehe | 00:36 |
* MohammadAG51 always restarts his N900 that way | 00:36 | |
daleglass | I'm hoping the otakukin aren't real | 00:36 |
DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG51: you always got CPU @ 100% waiting for IO? | 00:37 |
DocScrutinizer | aka massively writing to eMMC? | 00:37 |

*** jreznik has joined #maemo | 00:46 | |
DocScrutinizer | meh, I was about to copy 1.2GB of mp3 from uSD to MyDocs, via mass storage mode. It created the folders on eMMC but didn't copy a single file, though device had *some* life until ~30min after I started the copy | 00:47 |

DocScrutinizer | so you suggest I fill the eMMC from /dev/urandom, or what? | 00:52 |
h4waii | I like psaux | 00:52 |
daleglass | tobis87: bah, it doesn't seem to be useful. It boots, but no backlight, and automatically reboots after about 5 seconds | 00:52 |
lcuk | hmm http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.44673 | 00:53 |

DocScrutinizer | I bet Nokia has used 1GB eMMC that simply reports 32GB and brings device to a grinding halt on any serious effort to use more then the 1GB actually existent | 00:57 |
tobis87 | daleglass: Oh, that is bad you will have to reflash. | 00:58 |
daleglass | tobis87: doing that, yeah. A pain, but ah well. | 01:00 |
nox- | DocScrutinizer, i once downloaded and gunzip'd a 200 MB-or-so file on mydocs, that also took _quite_ a while... (not the downloading) | 01:02 |
*** NGNUton-B has joined #maemo | 01:02 | |

kerio | even when disabling the tracker?b | 01:03 |
DocScrutinizer | lol???? | 01:03 |
*** rd has quit IRC | 01:03 | |
kerio | because i remember i had much better results by copying on a non-tracked dir | 01:03 |
DocScrutinizer | kerio: wtf are those 32GB for? | 01:03 |
kerio | then i swiftly mved the files | 01:03 |
*** GNUton-BNC has quit IRC | 01:03 | |
kerio | and then i deleted tracker's db because fuck tracker | 01:03 |

*** Funnyface has quit IRC | 01:04 | |

nox- | oh yeah the tracker/imageviewer also chewed quite some resources when i tried to put a html tree on the device, ended up using zipfiles + a python httpd hack... | 01:05 |

DocScrutinizer | no | 01:07 |
*** jrocha has quit IRC | 01:07 | |
kerio | could it be that he's swapping while copying? | 01:07 |
DocScrutinizer | maybe accessing uSD and eMMC concurrently is making it barf | 01:07 |
kerio | try doing a swapoff :) | 01:07 |
h4waii | LOL | 01:07 |
h4waii | C'mon, it's shit IO. | 01:08 |

DocScrutinizer | done - 100% of 13.2GB | 01:23 |
DocScrutinizer | seems it's not the writing to eMMC but the reading from uSD that was the real problem? | 01:24 |
sivang | irc session got hung up before- so backup /home an /MyDocs and I am good to go with reflashing for 1.2? | 01:24 |
DocScrutinizer | sivang: you don't need to reflash eMMC VANILLA image for a mere PR1.2 update | 01:25 |
DocScrutinizer | so neither your /home nor MyDocs will suffer | 01:26 |
sivang | DocScrutinizer: okay, but I need to make enough room on rootfs for the OTA upgrade for pass? | 01:26 |
DocScrutinizer | sivang: you flash COMBINED image which has rootfs, and done | 01:26 |
DocScrutinizer | not if you're flashing | 01:27 |
DocScrutinizer | for OTA you might run into problems when too low free space on rootfs, yes | 01:27 |
*** etrunko has quit IRC | 01:28 | |
DocScrutinizer | but given the OTA SSU takes hours while a flashing plus restore apps from backup utility takes few minutes, I'd think twice | 01:28 |
SpeedEvil | On packaging format debates: http://xkcd.com/ | 01:29 |
nox- | OTA SSU doesnt take hours if you do it via (fast enough) wifi link btw | 01:29 |
nox- | (or at least i dont remember waiting that long... :) | 01:30 |
DocScrutinizer | the hildon backup app does a pretty good job on restoring virtually all of your settings and apps after flashing. You'll lose anything installed via apt-get though | 01:30 |

nox- | disk archiver yeah | 01:49 |
* nox- just looked up hubackup and saw it uses that... | 01:49 | |
sivang | nox-: ah it was stable back then even | 01:50 |
sivang | nox-: and it ubunut's main | 01:50 |
sivang | nox-: but bindings for python were, how to say it? mostly inexistant | 01:50 |
nox- | i c :) | 01:50 |
sivang | nox-: so I used spawning and subproc controlling through pexpect which works nice | 01:50 |
nox- | btw can it use xz yet? | 01:51 |
sivang | nox-: xz? | 01:51 |
nox- | compression | 01:51 |
nox- | lzma based | 01:51 |
nox- | http://tukaani.org/xz/ | 01:51 |

*** lsm5 has quit IRC | 02:20 | |
* sivang wonders why the flashing docs talks both about eMMC and rootfs flashing. | 02:20 | |
nox- | i dont remember the details of dar, but maybe it would have to be teached about xz itself since it also does indexing etc... | 02:20 |
sivang | is it not enough to just flash rootfs? | 02:20 |
*** lsm5 has joined #maemo | 02:20 | |
sivang | nox-: I was actually thinking of using the libzma bindings for a non dar usage. | 02:21 |
sivang | nox-: like using it solely to achive the backups | 02:21 |
nox- | ooh | 02:21 |
sivang | nox-: dar is wonderful, but there's already kdar, and using it as we do now through spawning and subprocess caters mostly for backup, restore process cannot really happen through this approach | 02:22 |
sivang | nox-: the restore process is much more complicated and requires much more user intervention, hence better to use something inprocess instead. | 02:22 |
nox- | hm maybe it was also kdar that i tried that segfaulted... | 02:22 |
sivang | nox-: hehe, I knew there was some problem with this in some libdar version | 02:23 |
*** MadViking has quit IRC | 02:23 | |

*** MadViking has joined #maemo | 02:24 | |
nox- | ok | 02:24 |
nox- | whats the difference between kdar and your one? | 02:24 |
sivang | nox-: I think it works , yes, I don't know people who ise it personally, but I'm sure it is popular in KDE | 02:24 |
sivang | nox-: so mine is dead simple, or at least tries to be (I succeded in doing that for the backup process actually, and people use it to backup even though GUI restore is not working) | 02:25 |
sivang | nox-: kdar, is you know, bells and whistles as known in KDE :-) | 02:25 |
sivang | nox-: lots of features, things to decide upon | 02:25 |
nox- | ah | 02:25 |
nox- | (sorry for being ot btw) | 02:25 |

DocScrutinizer | SpeedEvil: ?? | 05:10 |
DocScrutinizer | I'm quite ok with ApMeFo. And the battery hog issue is common to catorise and ApMeFo, cause it's a hildon desktop bug | 05:11 |
DocScrutinizer | that shows only on windows that are supposed to scroll but actually too 'short' to scroll any direction. | 05:12 |
*** panaggio has quit IRC | 05:13 | |
DocScrutinizer | the balistic scrolling - or what ever it's called - keeps running cyrcles bouncing up and down the window 0.0000points | 05:13 |
DocScrutinizer | sorting kinda interferes with ApMeFo, but when I tested it once, I only had to start the ApMeFo config gui and 'save', to fix the mess. Maybe in subfolders it's different, one way or the other | 05:15 |
DocScrutinizer | submenus even | 05:15 |

SpeedEvil | Ah - not hit that bug | 05:18 |
lcuk | DocScrutinizer, many dynamic systems can get into that situation | 05:18 |
* lcuk has one now | 05:18 | |
SpeedEvil | yeah - I can 'fix' it - with either folders or sorting, but I want both. | 05:19 |
SpeedEvil | Currently messing with vi. | 05:19 |
*** dvarnes has quit IRC | 05:20 | |
DocScrutinizer | considering how sorting works, I'd guess it can coexist with submenus | 05:20 |
*** pinheiro_ has quit IRC | 05:21 | |
DocScrutinizer | it's just the sorting process ruins the subfolder .desktops (my take on it), but ApMeFo doesn't ruin sorting | 05:21 |
DocScrutinizer | tbh it SHOULD get integrated into HSM | 05:22 |
DocScrutinizer | HDM* | 05:22 |
*** dvarnes has joined #maemo | 05:22 | |
DocScrutinizer | or the applauncher - whoever is doing the sorting | 05:22 |
*** bef0rd has joined #maemo | 05:23 | |
*** bef0rd has joined #maemo | 05:23 | |
SpeedEvil | I can gret sorting and folders - but the folders are 'included' and I can't work out how to get them to the top | 05:23 |
DocScrutinizer | erm, sorting the folders might be tricky. Look into an arbitrary .desktop, iirc there's a line like "sequence=13" | 05:24 |
DocScrutinizer | ApMeFo, on creating those folder .desktop new, probably will not keep those position info | 05:25 |
DocScrutinizer | but for sure you can edit with vi or... | 05:25 |
*** carloscesa has joined #maemo | 05:26 | |
*** Termana has quit IRC | 05:27 | |
DocScrutinizer | there's so much in maemo that's actually implemented but the frontend to config and put to purpose is missing... It's a shame | 05:28 |

kerio | so don't buy crappy cds | 12:11 |
kerio | http://entertainment.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1798856&cid=33693998 <- lol | 12:11 |
crashanddie | And even though some vinyls have a bit of compression, it's usually less than what you get on all CDs produced today | 12:11 |
kerio | yeah :( | 12:11 |
crashanddie | kerio: find the metallica guitar hero comment in there | 12:11 |
kerio | i know about that | 12:12 |
crashanddie | the guitar hero version of a song is of better quality than the CD version :( | 12:12 |
*** jreznik has joined #maemo | 12:12 | |
kerio | (well, you *can't* compress the sound so much on a vinyl - that's why it's not done) | 12:12 |
crashanddie | sure you can | 12:12 |
kerio | nah, you'll get pops | 12:12 |
kerio | the needle will do tiny jumps | 12:13 |
crashanddie | well, that's just poor compression :P | 12:13 |
crashanddie | and depends of the needle, too | 12:13 |
crashanddie | if I understand it correctly, loudness sounds better on crappy soundsystems | 12:13 |
kerio | crashanddie: s/better/less crappy/ | 12:14 |
crashanddie | so that billy bob and co can listen to a CD of justin bieber and think "Woah, this sounds really good" | 12:14 |
kerio | well, i'd say the problem is in billy bob's head, not in the cd | 12:14 |
kerio | replaygain would fix that, but meh | 12:15 |
*** wellef has joined #maemo | 12:15 | |
crashanddie | no, the problem is that one-size-fits-all is what the majors think is best for us | 12:15 |
kerio | the majors can suck it | 12:15 |
kerio | and vinyl is not best for anyone | 12:15 |
kerio | except old people who have nostalgia of the plastic disc | 12:16 |
kerio | true audiophiles buy SACD | 12:16 |
crashanddie | audiophiles are ignorant twats | 12:16 |
crashanddie | not much better than linux wankers who get a tiny hardon when they thing their system is 1% better | 12:16 |
crashanddie | "OMFG, GOLDEN CABLES, weeeeeeeeee" | 12:16 |
kerio | lol | 12:16 |
crashanddie | for the same reason that you can buy dvd, bluray, and even still vhs a few years ago, because different people had different demands, why is it not possible to get a normally engineered soundtrack, and then the loudness wars casualty one on sale everywhere | 12:17 |
*** mikhas has joined #maemo | 12:17 | |
crashanddie | the people who give a fuck will give a fuck, and go the extra length to buy the not crappy one | 12:17 |
crashanddie | the same reason I hate the fact that I can't buy a DVD in France and watch it in English without having french subtitles distracting me | 12:18 |
kerio | huh? you surely can? | 12:18 |
crashanddie | depends, it's getting better these days, and haven't seen it on bluray yet | 12:18 |
kerio | disable subtitles, from the Video menu | 12:19 |
crashanddie | but most movies are hard-coded to only support english channel with the french subtitles | 12:19 |
*** wellef has quit IRC | 12:19 | |
kerio | on the other hand, vlc is hard-coded to do what i tell him to do | 12:19 |
crashanddie | (I'm talking about playback on PS3 or standalone DVD player) | 12:19 |
crashanddie | Yes, sure, I could slam it in the macbookpro, hook it up to the telly, and play it from there | 12:20 |
crashanddie | but after a week of work? I can't be bothered, really | 12:20 |
kerio | make a HTPC | 12:20 |
crashanddie | no | 12:20 |
crashanddie | why would I have to invest more instead of the companies getting it right? | 12:21 |
kerio | because the companies don't get it right? | 12:21 |
crashanddie | And they've listened -- bluray doesn't do that anymore. | 12:21 |
kerio | duh | 12:21 |
kerio | also i think pretty much every dvd player has a "subtitles" button that lets you choose | 12:21 |
crashanddie | yes, and when you hit it, it says "Operation unavailable" | 12:21 |
kerio | then you have the wrong dvd player | 12:22 |
lcuk | no, this is France | 12:22 |

flexxxv | I never compiled modules taht are normally included in the vanilla kernel | 13:42 |
crashanddie | MohammadAG51: ping | 13:42 |
sivang | flexxxv: if you can use an inserted module, then just build it with your kernel headers and try and insmod or modprobe it and it should work, yes | 13:42 |
sivang | flexxxv: yeah, but in most of the times, this will just create the device node- you will still have to mount it manually | 13:43 |
flexxxv | that would be no problem :D | 13:43 |
sivang | flexxxv: so mount /dev/cdXX /media/cdrom or somesuch | 13:43 |
crashanddie | satmd: host mode is coming along just fine | 13:43 |
crashanddie | satmd: I'd say another couple weeks and we'll be able to hook up an external hard drive no problem | 13:43 |
flexxxv | i know; but how can I can I only build the cd modules? | 13:43 |
flexxxv | Think you can already use an ext HD :D | 13:44 |
crashanddie | well, there are bugs that will appear pretty soon | 13:44 |

flexxxv | alterego: Is installed :D | 15:02 |
alterego | flexxxv: well, you need to compile the kernel and modules you need. | 15:02 |
flexxxv | how to do this? :D | 15:03 |
alterego | Have you ever compiled a kernel before? :) | 15:03 |

MohammadAG_ | flexxxv, I'll upload them when I'm done | 15:04 |
MohammadAG_ | alterego, hmm? | 15:05 |
MohammadAG_ | did it fail for you? | 15:05 |
alterego | Yeah, the other day. I've not tested it with my powered externel HDD yet | 15:05 |

RST38h | http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-490 | 15:10 |
mc_teo | just wondering, how can i add my own pyqt script to the main, regular application menu | 15:10 |
pexi | are there general 'nice-to-have' application collection site for n900? like iboog g4 era there were some hacks and suggestions for touchpad and "spotlight" | 15:10 |
flexxxv | MohammadAG_: do you know a good page on internet to learn how to compile such modules? | 15:10 |
flexxxv | (I mean from the vanilla kernel) | 15:11 |
mc_teo | google? | 15:11 |
flexxxv | hmm yeah that was what I did. :D but cant find the right keyworks :( | 15:11 |
DocScrutinizer | just a general notice on hostmode: the currently published "pre-alpha" is actually a special kernel version made for research purposes *only*. It's not supposed to be used for production, nor will it ever work correctly. It doesn't need some minor fixes to implement hostmode properly, but will get discarded completely and replaced by a entirely different concept | 15:11 |
mc_teo | hmmm H8H8O3 | 15:12 |
pexi | the point is to find consencus of good apps/hacks so that u don't have to try everything yourself and do some power consumption measurements and user experience evaluation :) | 15:12 |
mc_teo | rather, yum H8H8O3 | 15:12 |
MohammadAG_ | indeed, it contains too many debugging crap | 15:12 |
MohammadAG_ | which, if you have syslog installed, eats your rootfs | 15:12 |
DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG_: basically it contains ONLY debugging crap | 15:12 |
MohammadAG_ | echo "" > /var/log/syslog to clear | 15:13 |
MohammadAG_ | I can only agree with you | 15:13 |
mc_teo | just wondering, how can i add my own pyqt script to the main, regular application menu | 15:13 |
flexxxv | DocScrutinizer: replaced completely? but we will alway need a patched kernel right? | 15:13 |
MohammadAG_ | yes | 15:13 |
DocScrutinizer | yes | 15:13 |
flexxxv | so new concept = new mode for te usb driver for host mode or what? | 15:14 |
mc_teo | just wondering, how can i add my own pyqt script to the main, regular application menu | 15:14 |
MohammadAG_ | proper patches | 15:14 |

MohammadAG | oh, a shortcut | 15:15 |
mc_teo | and killed the desktop to restart it | 15:15 |
MohammadAG | I thought you're working on something ala catorize | 15:16 |
MohammadAG | it scans the dir, you don't need to kill it | 15:16 |
mc_teo | but it does not appear | 15:16 |
MohammadAG | pastebin the file | 15:16 |
flexxxv | mc_teo which directory? | 15:16 |
mc_teo | /usr/share/applications/hildon | 15:16 |
MohammadAG | pastebin the file | 15:16 |
DocScrutinizer | flexxxv: new concept = throwing out all the handles in sysfs that are used now to *force* kernel manually thru a fixed sequence of USB OTG states, and replace that by a smarter properly implemented in-kernel mechanism that just does "The Right Thing", when doing a "echo host >./mode" | 15:18 |

DocScrutinizer | flexxxv: we can use a single fully blown log of successful hostmode session, for every distinct class of usecase (like storage attached, hub attached, low-speed device attached [won't ever work now]) | 15:22 |
* MohammadAG found better success with a hub | 15:22 | |
MohammadAG | what didn't work before works now | 15:22 |
MohammadAG | so I'm using a hub on my N900, connected to a flash, a mouse 2.4GHz receiver, and a keyboard | 15:22 |
MohammadAG | kb maps are shit though | 15:23 |
DocScrutinizer | flexxxv: alas fullsize log means we'd need more than just the syslog copy | 15:23 |
flexxxv | yeah thats right a hub makes live so much easier :D how did you change the keyboard mapping??? | 15:23 |
MohammadAG | I didn't, they're the rx51 crap | 15:23 |
flexxxv | so not too usefull | 15:23 |
*** Wamanuz has quit IRC | 15:23 | |
DocScrutinizer | ...as in syslog not all interesting things show up. Due to the kernel not being optimized for logging either | 15:23 |
flexxxv | DocScrutinizer: tell me exactly what you want and i'll try to do | 15:24 |
flexxxv | argh need to leave again :( | 15:24 |

mc_teo | still doesnt show | 15:25 |
flexxxv|afk | just thought that there are different hardware revisions out and so you need some more logs | 15:25 |
DocScrutinizer | flxfrom a devel POV this release wasn't intended to help in any way. MohammadAG did it "to attract developers" | 15:26 |
DocScrutinizer | flexxxv|afk: ^^ | 15:26 |
DocScrutinizer | flexxxv|afk: there's definitely very little use in "testers" for now, for hostmode development | 15:27 |
*** rcg has quit IRC | 15:28 | |
*** swo has joined #maemo | 15:28 | |
DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG can provide us (the kernel devels) with all the logs we need. And there's nothing yet to actually 'test' on a larger user basis | 15:29 |
MohammadAG | Umm, didn't I already? | 15:29 |
*** rcg has joined #maemo | 15:30 | |
DocScrutinizer | nevertheless it's nice to learn there's not just MohammadAG's N900 in this world than actually *can* do hostmode, so it's a general proof of concept, yielding evidence hostmode *can* be done without any hardware mods, without external power, without special adapters | 15:31 |
DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: sure, mostly | 15:31 |
DocScrutinizer | of course further logs for e.g the hub case are welcome | 15:31 |
kerio | can the hardware give power through usb? | 15:32 |
DocScrutinizer | also please refer to my suggestion I posted to you yesterday in #mhd, about augmenting the echo cals in hostmode.py | 15:32 |
MohammadAG | yes yes, will do mate | 15:32 |
DocScrutinizer | kerio: 200mA | 15:32 |
MohammadAG | just having problems with some shit | 15:32 |
kerio | DocScrutinizer: that sucks... :( | 15:32 |

* MohammadAG is tempted to plug a CD drive | 15:33 | |
DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: won't work | 15:33 |
*** alextreme has joined #maemo | 15:33 | |
MohammadAG | and a CD drive powered by another 5V plug (Y cable) | 15:33 |
DocScrutinizer | drives quite regularly draw even more than the allowed 500mA max, for spinning up | 15:34 |
DocScrutinizer | this *would* work, but will ruin hostmode setup, due to VBUS applied prematurely | 15:35 |
DocScrutinizer | of *this debug botch kernel* | 15:35 |
DocScrutinizer | on a decent kernel it of course would work flawlessly | 15:35 |
MohammadAG | indeed | 15:35 |
*** vanadismobile has quit IRC | 15:35 | |
MohammadAG | I just don't get why I need to start bme, connect the plug then stop bme | 15:35 |
MohammadAG | when starting bme, it pumps out some power out of the USB port | 15:36 |
MohammadAG | enough to light up my flash drive | 15:36 |
MohammadAG | then less than 1s later, it disables that | 15:36 |
mc_teo | still no look | 15:37 |
mc_teo | luck* | 15:37 |
DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: I bet that's related to 2 things: a) bme accessing charger detection, thus activating ULPI interface, and b) VBUS voltage is buffered in some capacitors, so killall vboost.sh makes VBUS decay at random rate, and eventually an IRQ for either VBUS_VALID or SESSION_VALID kicks in | 15:37 |
mc_teo | maybe i need more that just the .desktop file? | 15:38 |
DocScrutinizer | both IRQ are generated by 1707 via ULPI, and happen at certain voltage levels of VBUS | 15:38 |

*** davyg has joined #maemo | 15:56 | |
*** jenkowski has joined #maemo | 15:56 | |

*** jenkowski has quit IRC | 17:30 | |
*** raster has joined #maemo | 17:31 | |
daleglass | tobis87: I think I figured it out, I think I set up ramzswap with a backing file on /home, which wasn't mounted yet at that point. I'm not sure what happened at that point though, maybe the script halts on error, or the module freaked out | 17:34 |
tobis87 | daleglass: Yes, this would be a good reason. But I would consider to use the swap partition directly as the backing store, else you will have an performance overhead by the filesystem. Which size did you test? | 17:37 |
*** murrayc has quit IRC | 17:38 | |
daleglass | tobis87: I'll have to try that, yeah. I also found that in the non-backed mode, you choose the swap device's size, not the amount of memory to dedicate. So my current 64MB one compresses to about 50% and saves about 32MB RAM | 17:39 |
daleglass | tobis87: also on the ramzswap page the author seems to be saying that the backed mode doesn't perform very well, and that currently having it along with a normal swap partition works better. Wonder why. | 17:39 |

*** mikhas has joined #maemo | 17:47 | |
tobis87 | Ok, an encrypted swap has even an higher overhead, but i encrypt the swap on every machine i have and mounting tmp as tmpfs. I also don't understand everything, if I use the 768mb swap partion as backingstore for ramzswap with a size of 32mb, but it does not addup to 832mb (768 + 2 * 32). The swap the system knows of is still 768mb, so if the swap drive would be full, not all of it would be used since 64mb of the drive is stored as 32mb in | 17:47 |
*** ohwhyme has joined #maemo | 17:47 | |
kerio | there's no way to compress everything, you know | 17:48 |
tobis87 | daleglass: Yes I know of this, that is why I use backing store to only compress compressable pages, this will not be very easy since nokia has already patched the kernel to handle swapping different. | 17:48 |
*** vzq has quit IRC | 17:50 | |
*** Appiah has quit IRC | 17:50 | |
daleglass | tobis87: well the problem I see is: it sounds like the idea is: if it doesn't compress, send to backing swap. But, if it does compress it's kept in RAM. So if you have say, 32MB for ramzswap, it compresses 50%, all pages are compressable, then all you gain is 32MB extra and your 768MB of backing sit idle | 17:50 |

tobis87 | daleglass: yes, but just assume you would fill the whole swap. you have 32mb in ram, which would be 64mb compressed and the 768mb from the disk. But the system only knows of a 768mb swap (/proc/swaps). | 17:55 |

Gizmokid2005 | i'm trying to figure out if there's any way I can make my phone actually work for, you know, a phone. Since I'm on AT&T and only have Edge/2.5, anytime I have just about anything that uses data going in the background phone calls get ignored, and on occasion SMS do too, though they usually are unaffected | 18:19 |
h4waii | Are you doing any emulation? | 18:20 |
Gizmokid2005 | I know it's because all the packets are going over the same connection...but there has to be SOME way to make it actually work as a phone. | 18:20 |

*** Robotnixon has quit IRC | 18:21 | |
Gizmokid2005 | h4waii: as I said in my first message... AT&T | 18:21 |
MohammadAG | DocScrutinizer, cdroms working, if you're interested :) | 18:21 |
DocScrutinizer | ooh | 18:21 |
Gizmokid2005 | works beautifully on my E71x. I know it has to do with my N900 and the edge limitation | 18:21 |
DocScrutinizer | that's actually a reason :-) | 18:21 |
Gizmokid2005 | outbound is perfectly fine, of course, but inbound is useless at best in most cases | 18:22 |
h4waii | I've *never* missed a call due to data Tx/Rx | 18:22 |
Gizmokid2005 | I have, in just the last day alone I've confirmed missed more than 12 calls | 18:22 |
h4waii | Voice channels are supposed to take priority | 18:22 |
h4waii | You have something else going on. | 18:22 |
Gizmokid2005 | hence why I'm asking | 18:22 |
Gizmokid2005 | like what? | 18:22 |
jacekowski | h4waii: nope | 18:23 |
jacekowski | h4waii: that depends on terminal class | 18:23 |
h4waii | Continue... | 18:23 |
jacekowski | h4waii: all N series nokia phones for example can do data and voice at the same time | 18:23 |
DocScrutinizer | Gizmokid2005: that's a problem of your carrier. N900 supports concurrent data & call | 18:24 |
h4waii | Continue... | 18:24 |
jacekowski | http://www.newlc.com/en/GPRS-Class-overview.html | 18:24 |
jacekowski | most phones are class B | 18:25 |
jacekowski | some phones are class C | 18:25 |
jacekowski | and only nokia N series and couple other phones are class A | 18:25 |
GAN900 | Gizmokid2005, no AT&T 3G support. | 18:25 |
Gizmokid2005 | DocScrutinizer: it's not a carrier problem. I can guarantee it. | 18:25 |
Gizmokid2005 | GAN900: thank you. I know that. | 18:25 |
Gizmokid2005 | THAT is my point | 18:25 |
GAN900 | Gizmokid2005, EDGE is call or data onlu. | 18:25 |
Gizmokid2005 | it's an edge limitation | 18:25 |
h4waii | Gizmokid2005 - it is a carrier problem. We guarantee it. | 18:25 |
GAN900 | Gizmokid2005, it's a bit of both. | 18:25 |
Gizmokid2005 | and I'm asking if there's any way that I can make the N900 actually kill the data or listen periodically for voice instead of blocking it. | 18:26 |
GAN900 | Mostly it's on Nokia for not supporting the larger US carrier. | 18:26 |
h4waii | Your N900 isn't "blocking" it. | 18:26 |
DocScrutinizer | GAN900: (EDGE is call or data onlu) see jacekowski ^^^ class A | 18:26 |
Gizmokid2005 | h4waii: yes. It is. How else would you describe what's going on? | 18:26 |
Gizmokid2005 | the carrier just says you aren't going to get it? | 18:26 |
Gizmokid2005 | the call is being sent. The radio in the N900, drivers or otherwise, is ignoring it because it's busy with data | 18:27 |
Gizmokid2005 | since it's not 3G and doesn't have concurrent data/voice. | 18:27 |
DocScrutinizer | nope | 18:27 |
DocScrutinizer | incorrect | 18:27 |
h4waii | Go ahead and argue all you want. It's a carrier problem - and that means network or switch related. | 18:27 |
tobis87 | daleglass: ramzswap reports the size of the backing store to the system. ramzswap cannot report the size of the compressed memory + the size of the swap partition to the system, since ramzswap cannot know how much will fit into the compressed memory. | 18:27 |
h4waii | If you want to imagine otherwise, be my guest. | 18:27 |
tobis87 | but this means that the system can only use the size of the backing store for swap, because even if there would be space left on the swap partition the sytem only knows of a swap with the size of the backing store. | 18:27 |
Kegetys | phone calls work fine for me even when on edge on n900 | 18:27 |
*** dos1 has joined #maemo | 18:28 | |
DocScrutinizer | Gizmokid2005: ^^^ see? | 18:28 |
Gizmokid2005 | yes, outgoing works BEAUTIFUL | 18:28 |
h4waii | Andw when you're proven ridiculously wrong, I want you to feel like an ass. | 18:28 |
Kegetys | in and out | 18:28 |
daleglass | tobis87: aha that makes sense. Will have to give it a try then | 18:28 |
Gizmokid2005 | as does incoming when I have absolutely NOTHING going that uses data | 18:28 |
tobis87 | ramzswap 32mb + swap partition 768mb -> ramzswap reports 768mb not 832mb (64mb possible compressed + 768mb partition) -> system can only use 768mb (64mb possible compressed + 768mb partition - 64mb unknown to system) | 18:28 |
*** jenkowski has quit IRC | 18:28 | |
Gizmokid2005 | ie - IM, twitter, browser, etc. | 18:28 |
Gizmokid2005 | email is ok, as that's not a consistent connection | 18:28 |
GAN900 | It's an EDGE limitation. | 18:29 |
DocScrutinizer | Gizmokid2005: it's your carrier not signalling the call to you when data transfer is eating all the bandwidth | 18:29 |
h4waii | AKA CARRIER ISSUE. | 18:29 |
Kegetys | the data connection turns off when there is a call coming for me, and comes back when the call ends | 18:29 |
GAN900 | Or SMS. | 18:29 |
tobis87 | daleglass: but this is only how i can think of it, i'm not that great in reading code... | 18:29 |
Gizmokid2005 | well, I'm not going to argue. It is what it is. Considering I've already seen it confirmed as a device issue and was looking for a fix. Believe what you want. | 18:29 |
Gizmokid2005 | thanks for the information guys. | 18:30 |
h4waii | Hahaha | 18:30 |
GAN900 | Nokia is hateful for not supporting AT&T, though. | 18:30 |
h4waii | Who confirmed it was a "Device issue" to you? You or one of your less-than-skilled friends? | 18:30 |
Kegetys | get a prepaid card from another provider and try it then | 18:30 |
GAN900 | No pre-paid data. | 18:30 |
Kegetys | or test with friends sim card | 18:30 |
h4waii | You're going to try and refute facts, from some very intelligent people here - about the issue? | 18:30 |
DocScrutinizer | Gizmokid2005: anyway, you simply have to make your downloads throttle a bit, leaving spare slots for call signalling, and everything will be fine | 18:30 |
GAN900 | Another fine example of why Nokia lost the US market. | 18:31 |
jpinx-eeepc | in an xterm on the n900, why would "mount -o loop os.img mountpoint" prodduce and error of "failed, Invalid argument" ? | 18:31 |
Gizmokid2005 | DocScrutinizer: that's part of my point I'm trying to make but nobody cares to actually listen. They'd rather stomp on me and ignore anything I"m trying to say/describe and just call me fucking stupid. I do NOT have ANY downloads EVER running on my device. Just normal Data usage from using the browser, etc. | 18:31 |
Kegetys | well have you tried it with any other provider than what you have now? | 18:32 |
h4waii | No, it's because you are ignorant. | 18:32 |
DocScrutinizer | Gizmokid2005: meh | 18:32 |

h4waii | lcuk, n900 not receiving sms/calls when a full data rx/tx session is in swing | 18:36 |
DocScrutinizer | Gizmokid2005: there've been reports of it just working, on EDGE, for inbound calls. Wiki and specs of N900 also suggest it SHALL work. Now please stop bitching | 18:36 |
Gizmokid2005 | lcuk: ^^ pretty much. On AT&T with no 3G, only edge. The device doesn't allow the voice packets through and hold the data connection | 18:36 |
alterego | Heh | 18:36 |
alterego | Gizmokid2005: that's a propblem with 2G | 18:37 |

lcuk | Gizmokid2005, so every time you get a call data stops coming in? | 18:38 |
lcuk | what sort of data downloads do you mean? | 18:38 |
h4waii | Gizmokid2005 - get a T-Mobile SIM, drop your device to 2G and see what happens. | 18:38 |
wmarone | heh | 18:38 |
lcuk | streaming radio? torrents? irc? | 18:38 |
DocScrutinizer | alterego: huh? so what's class-A then? | 18:38 |
stonda | usually what it might do is, that i'm doing something else which is eating up the resources, the device might drop a call (like updating HAM) | 18:39 |
h4waii | Barely any carriers support Class-A. | 18:39 |
stonda | but i still get the notification of a missed call | 18:39 |
DocScrutinizer | that's what we say all the time! | 18:39 |
DocScrutinizer | it's a carrier issue | 18:39 |
h4waii | LOL | 18:40 |
alterego | DocScrutinizer: as far as I know, connectivity types below 3G doen't alloow simultaneous data+phone | 18:40 |
* lcuk wonders what "full swing" means in the context of mobile data | 18:40 | |
alterego | Which seems to be what he's having an issue with | 18:40 |
DocScrutinizer | and of course the problem needs not only a non-supporting carrier to show up, but also a powerful device that does DL at full bandwidth | 18:41 |
h4waii | He's having an issue with a misconfigured SWITCH, controlled by AT&T - not signaling his calls due to collisions. | 18:41 |
lcuk | sigh | 18:41 |
h4waii | That's all it is. | 18:41 |
DocScrutinizer | alterego: that's axactly what clas-A is all about | 18:41 |
Kegetys | wel, I just tested it on my N900: I set it to edge, started download of a 100MB file, while it was downloading I called it. The download got paused and the phone rang normally | 18:42 |
wmarone | Kegetys: carrier? | 18:42 |
kerio | what happened to the download afterwards? | 18:42 |

DocScrutinizer | so meh | 18:43 |
h4waii | He came in with a shit attitude. | 18:43 |
sp3000 | Kegetys: was it a no network pause or a voluntary pause for responsiveness? | 18:43 |
h4waii | Claiming he did testing and confirmed it and 'shut up and fix my problem instead of telling me what thactual problem is' | 18:43 |
Gizmokid2005 | Haha. Blame the shit attitude on me. I came in asking questions and was told to piss off. I'm not the one with the shit attitude. | 18:43 |
Kegetys | sp3000: the data connection pauses for the duration of the call, just like it is meant to do | 18:44 |
h4waii | Gizmokid2005 - I can have a shit attitude, because I have the answers to your problems. | 18:44 |

DocScrutinizer | lcuk: voicebox? | 18:57 |
*** FredrIQ has quit IRC | 18:58 | |
*** marcels has quit IRC | 18:58 | |
lcuk | do any of the battery/system monitoring programs also log the signal strength/mode? | 18:58 |
h4waii | No. | 18:58 |
lcuk | thats a shame | 18:58 |
lcuk | add some gps logs | 18:58 |
lcuk | and you could map your signal variance around you | 18:59 |
h4waii | You can easily do it with dbus camping | 18:59 |
DocScrutinizer | that's mostly due to the fact cellmo doesn't offer to much info anyway | 18:59 |
lcuk | it shows it to a widget | 18:59 |
*** Bluewind has quit IRC | 18:59 | |
lcuk | so the information is around | 18:59 |
h4waii | It's reported every time a signal change happens. | 18:59 |
DocScrutinizer | yep, mere signal strength is the most frequent msg on dbus :-P | 18:59 |
h4waii | I contemplated writing a small daemon to vibrate when the signal is dangerously low and a voice call is in progress | 19:00 |
h4waii | so you'd get a little notice before your call dropped. | 19:00 |
DocScrutinizer | h4waii: great idea | 19:00 |

*** Bluewind has joined #maemo | 19:01 | |
h4waii | I lost the code too, so I just didn't bother. | 19:01 |
DocScrutinizer | though you'd first need to check if signal strength reports are of any accuracy during a call | 19:01 |
lcuk | batterygraph shows network | 19:01 |
Kegetys | having the vibrator buzz in your ear when you're on a poor signal area doesn't sound that good to me | 19:01 |
lcuk | i wonder if thats data | 19:01 |
lcuk | hmm | 19:01 |
h4waii | Kegetys, it'd used the TS Pattern, so it's very low and inobtrusive. | 19:02 |
*** Termana has joined #maemo | 19:02 | |

DocScrutinizer | scary | 19:08 |
MohammadAG | I'm guessing it vibrates 1 sec then turns off | 19:08 |
Kegetys | will it cause my device to shake itself to pieces? | 19:08 |
DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: even much more weird | 19:08 |
*** n900evil has quit IRC | 19:08 | |
DocScrutinizer | Kegetys: after several hours possibly :-D | 19:09 |

jacekowski | vibrator brightness? | 19:09 |
DocScrutinizer | yeah, nice - isn't it? :-P | 19:10 |
jacekowski | does it try to pass so much current trough it so it starts to glow? | 19:10 |

DocScrutinizer | just acts like playing random patterns, of which only a small part actually is matching the value you echoed to brightness node | 19:14 |
kerio | because it makes you tingly in places your mommy said to never touch because it's a sin | 19:14 |
*** TomaszD has joined #maemo | 19:15 | |
*** PhonicUK has quit IRC | 19:15 | |
DocScrutinizer | you'd think echo 30 >brightness makes the device run smoothly and continuously at a 30/255 power level | 19:16 |
DocScrutinizer | not make it hum and squeak at random patterns | 19:16 |
h4waii | Hm. sshd is running but I can't get access | 19:18 |
DocScrutinizer | btw this also indicates mce is eating up cpu cycles and energy for doing nonsense | 19:18 |
DocScrutinizer | looks to me like mce never stopped playback of last (random) pattern to vibrator kernel module, and just has set some duration or power or whatever sysnode to 0 | 19:21 |
DocScrutinizer | to make vibrator actually stop | 19:21 |
h4waii | power to 0 would stop it. | 19:22 |
DocScrutinizer | thank you very much for disclosing the friggin mce source, so we could check and fix | 19:22 |
DocScrutinizer | but meh, then we were able to also fix the braindamaged usage of engine3 in LP5523 exclusively for 200ms kbd LED ramp-up/down. That MUST NOT happen! | 19:24 |
jacekowski | ? | 19:26 |
* sivang just observed how tracker grinds the device to a near halt. | 19:26 | |
DocScrutinizer | nota bene most if not all indicator patterns show up during screen dim only, where kbd LEDs clearly don't have to fade-in/out. So nothing *really* blocks engine3, even if we'd (ab)use it for this much-too-simple task of doing a 200ms ramp for those LEDs | 19:26 |
DocScrutinizer | another case of "we don't need that" | 19:27 |
lcuk | sivang, what was it indexing? | 19:28 |
*** AlMehdi has left #maemo | 19:28 | |

*** bidossessi has joined #maemo | 19:33 | |

sivang | Stskeeps: re: / backup | 19:34 |
DocScrutinizer | lcuk: I'd not consider this a bug | 19:34 |
Stskeeps | sivang: no | 19:34 |
lcuk | then why do you consider needing to change it - especially if it has such a helpful effect | 19:34 |
Stskeeps | sivang: target fs must be a ext3 or the likes | 19:34 |
lcuk | as you suggest | 19:34 |
DocScrutinizer | it's on user's discretion to set tracker to any priority he likes | 19:34 |

sivang | Stskeeps: right, remind me why rsyncing / is required ? | 19:40 |
h4waii | Same goes for the Engadget article when he bitched about Android yet no official safety nets. | 19:40 |

Stskeeps | sivang: well, that's how i backup personally | 19:42 |
Stskeeps | sivang: if you want to go by the book, use internal backup tool and backup your eMMC | 19:42 |
lcuk | h4waii, ok you want serious discussion about attitudes - lets use this specific issue. guy came in with a peripheral problem, DocScrutinizer and yourself jumped on the fact that it was entirely carrier based then shouted. no wondering how or why the problem occured, not fact finding. simple dismissal and arrogance towards a user experiencing a real issue | 19:42 |
Stskeeps | it never works out nicely for me as in the past, i flashed several times a day | 19:42 |
DocScrutinizer | lcuk: I have Throttle=10 in my tracker.cfg, and on monitoring system yesterday evening after copying those 13GB of mp3, I watched trackerd(-*) running at niceness 20 and CPU load rarely over 30% | 19:43 |
sivang | Stskeeps: and eMMC is /home right? | 19:43 |
Stskeeps | home/user/MyDocs | 19:43 |

* lardman is currently downloading all property price data for Bath, at random intervals, to perform a meta-analysis and persuade his wife that things are currently overpriced | 19:49 | |
sivang | Stskeeps: there is not way to mount / in a host system right? I only see the device adding one devnode for the internal storage (is this the eMMC?) and another for the MSD | 19:49 |
lcuk | i would just like to know how you manage to know specifically he is not having a problem with his n900 | 19:49 |
sivang | Stskeeps: mSD | 19:49 |
Stskeeps | sivang: no, it's on the internal NAND | 19:49 |
lcuk | because theres all sorts of things that might fuck up | 19:49 |
h4waii | lcuk, I don't know for an absolute *fact* it's not his N900 - the same way I don't know for an absolute *fact* that te sky is blue. | 19:49 |
DocScrutinizer | lcuk: evaluation of likelihood | 19:49 |
lardman | lcuk: language... ;) | 19:49 |
* lcuk puts 10p in the swearjar | 19:49 | |
sivang | Stskeeps: is there a doc somehwere about the memory layout and filesystems and the corrosponding mem devs they use? | 19:49 |
lcuk | :$ | 19:50 |
Stskeeps | sivang: 'mount' :> | 19:50 |
lcuk | DocScrutinizer, its not been brought up before | 19:50 |
DocScrutinizer | lcuk: or call it Occam's razor | 19:50 |
sivang | Stskeeps: mount is confusing, does not say which is which :) | 19:50 |
lardman | lcuk: I probably still owe the channel swearjar a few $k | 19:50 |
* sivang mount's again | 19:50 | |
lcuk | lol | 19:50 |
h4waii | lcuk, but having dealt with the issue before, with the N900 and other devices with the SAME carrier - it's plain logic, and yes, assumption, of an answer. | 19:50 |
lcuk | where do you deal with this problem? | 19:50 |
lcuk | on other sites? at work? | 19:51 |
*** tackat has joined #maemo | 19:51 | |
lcuk | because what I know of the N900 is that users manage to do the strangest things to it | 19:51 |
sivang | okay, so /dev/mmcblk0p2 is the eMMC where /home is, and /dev/mmcblk1p1 is the vfat mSD | 19:51 |
DocScrutinizer | me at work, for OM. And several other places. It's also been discussed here in this chan before | 19:51 |
h4waii | IRC, forums, real life. No, not at work. I work far far away from the mobile industry. | 19:51 |
h4waii | I explicitly remember having a discussion in THIS channel about it. | 19:52 |
h4waii | and dare I say, it was of similar style and "arrogance" because that is what the problem was/is. | 19:52 |
DocScrutinizer | and it's as simple as "if carrier is using all downstream slots for data, he is missing to signal a call to device." that's called collision I guess | 19:53 |
h4waii | Issue came up, answer was provided, answer not taken at full face value - harping and hooning began and people started crying. | 19:53 |
*** b0tz has joined #maemo | 19:53 | |
DocScrutinizer | and there's exactly zero you can do on MT side | 19:54 |
h4waii | I called it a collision because that's the first thing that came to mind. It's more like out-of-resources case. | 19:54 |
DocScrutinizer | except throttling downstream | 19:54 |
h4waii | Doc, precisely. | 19:54 |
DocScrutinizer | all this has been told to OP, but he insisted in a better answer | 19:55 |
*** hardaker has joined #maemo | 19:56 | |
DocScrutinizer | see "...DocScrutinizer: IT DOES FUCKING WORK...." | 19:56 |
lcuk | so, where is the document specifically outlining this so its not a case of irc wills | 19:56 |
lcuk | for when the next person comes in | 19:56 |
DocScrutinizer | class A is explicitly mentioned in Nokia | 19:56 |
DocScrutinizer | s N900 specs | 19:56 |
sivang | without knowing what this is about, i think that a user that swears and does not make a sane use of a community support channel, should not be answeed or just ignored? | 19:56 |
h4waii | They should be kicked. | 19:57 |
pupnik_ | http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/779/OCS1-8830_575px.jpg << i wish more cellphones had batteries like this - where they form the back part of the case - allows to make 'double-wide' batteries | 19:57 |
sivang | yes, just like in other communities after being warned- see ubuntu | 19:57 |
*** javispedro has joined #maemo | 19:58 | |
kerio | pupnik_: see MUGEN battery | 19:58 |
*** jreznik has quit IRC | 19:58 | |
sivang | is it sensible to format the mSD to ext3 through the device? or better do it mounted from the host system... | 19:59 |
pupnik_ | kerio: yes, because the mugen solution sucks i suggest that alternative | 19:59 |
h4waii | lcuk, do you think pointing a user who the same issue, to a wiki page that says exactly what we said will work better? | 19:59 |
h4waii | sivang - works just fine. | 19:59 |
DocScrutinizer | lcuk: and for the theory of fubar rootfs on N900 or whatever: If carrier *can* signal the call to rapuyama, the far end will get a call progress notification instead of a busy or "not available". So virtually no way whatsoever to mess up phone to a point where class A will fail | 20:00 |
sivang | h4waii: on the device? I just did some rm -rf to the wrong created rsync of / and a call suddenly came in, so the call audio was jerky, can I assume from that the fs operations are intacnt? | 20:00 |
sivang | h4waii: =) | 20:00 |
sivang | *intact | 20:00 |
* sivang thinks after he creates the backup he will reformat it to vfat | 20:01 | |
h4waii | What was the question? lol | 20:01 |
h4waii | I was just referring to mkfs.ext3 from device instead of removal. | 20:01 |
sivang | h4waii: right, sorry again for my many question and noobness in this :) | 20:01 |
*** 92AAA708T has joined #maemo | 20:02 | |
jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: rapuyama signals that to main processor | 20:02 |
sivang | h4waii: so if I mkfs.ext3 while a call comes in, it shouldn't affect the correctness of operation right? | 20:02 |
*** flexxxv|afk has quit IRC | 20:02 | |
jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: and what happens when software runing on main processor have failed | 20:02 |
*** Erod has joined #maemo | 20:02 | |
h4waii | sivang - correct. | 20:02 |
DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: it signals inbound call, yes. In that moment the call notification from carrier has succeeded | 20:02 |
jacekowski | so if i would disable watchdog | 20:03 |
jacekowski | disable reboot on panic | 20:03 |
jacekowski | and cause panic | 20:03 |
jacekowski | somebody could call me | 20:03 |
jacekowski | and get nothing | 20:03 |
jacekowski | i mean, he would think that it's ringing | 20:03 |
jacekowski | but phone would do nothing at all | 20:03 |
DocScrutinizer | and rapu fw still will tell carrier "roger, inbound call" | 20:03 |
h4waii | We know it's *possible* to forcibly drop daemons to stop call signaling | 20:03 |
DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: exactly | 20:04 |
*** b0tz has quit IRC | 20:04 | |
DocScrutinizer | while on failing class A you get a busy or 'not available' on far end, rather than a call progress | 20:04 |
h4waii | However you'd have more issues than just that, if it were the case. | 20:04 |
sivang | h4waii: just to share my experience, when I did a heavy rm -rf and a call came in, the audio was VERY jerky, good to know file operations take presedence over call audio | 20:04 |
sivang | personally I'd prefer to lose calls than to lose ata | 20:05 |
sivang | data | 20:05 |
lcuk | missing so many calls in a day when hearing nothing about issues before and no noise from user about this issue sounds suspicious | 20:05 |
h4waii | sivang - I have no idea if that's the case. | 20:05 |
DocScrutinizer | lcuk: he didn't seem to be interested in monitoring his gprs downstream usage | 20:06 |
jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: but you have constant communication over phonet | 20:06 |
jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: i would expect rapuyama to detect that main processor died | 20:06 |
sivang | h4waii: k, thanks a lot so far. | 20:06 |
DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: academical, as OP claimed he's using EDGE flawlessly | 20:07 |
h4waii | sivang - however, if you're receiving call after call - and don't have downtime to mkfs an SD card - the N900 probably doesn't cut it as a main phone anyways :P | 20:07 |
* johnx sometimes feels like Nokia customer care for the N900 has been outsourced to maemo{talk,IRC} | 20:07 | |
h4waii | You guys are getting paid?! | 20:07 |
jacekowski | yeah | 20:07 |
johnx | h4waii, yeah. paycheck should come aaaany day now | 20:07 |
jacekowski | bread and water | 20:07 |
h4waii | like, chocolate covered almonds or? | 20:07 |
GAN900 | johnx, clearly it has. | 20:07 |
lardman | surely that's part of the cost analysis when a company moved to open source... | 20:07 |
sivang | haha | 20:08 |
DocScrutinizer | lcuk: so what he called "...doing a single thing at a time [in browser]" could as well be watching youtube video | 20:08 |

lardman | I also have troubles typing s rather than d | 20:09 |
sivang | lardman: yes, I have this as well, but I did not upgrade to PR1.2 yet. | 20:09 |
h4waii | the N900 sucks as a dedicated phone. Straight up. | 20:09 |
lcuk | lardman, set it to portrait only | 20:09 |
lcuk | turning control in the phone app | 20:10 |
lardman | lcuk: ah good point | 20:10 |
h4waii | lcuk. it still rotates. It doesn't define portrait as default window for creation. | 20:10 |
johnx | h4waii, though the best 'dedicated' phone I ever used plugged into a wall and wasn't cordless :) | 20:10 |
sivang | lcuk: mind you it does not always obey that :) | 20:10 |
lardman | lcuk: hmm, already set to that | 20:10 |

johnx | kerio, side talking? | 20:12 |
h4waii | Hahaha. Side talkin'. | 20:12 |
kerio | well, when i hold the n900 at my ear, it's more horizontal than vertical | 20:12 |
DocScrutinizer | h4waii: when focus is on a text input field, it always rotates to landscape unconditionally | 20:12 |

lcuk | DocScrutinizer, please point me to somewhere official i can read this. really if its such a limitation there would be documentation about it. and are there workarounds that can be installed to throttle data as you suggest (rather than "watch your downloads") | 20:14 |

*** z4chh has quit IRC | 20:15 | |
sivang | h4waii: It is actually quite nice as a main phone, if you forgive the turning quirks and ocassional call miss due to the unfortunate placement of answer button and tunring while call is waiting to be answered. | 20:16 |
DocScrutinizer | lcuk: iirc jacekowski pointed to a URL above. It has the details. Class A is mentioned in technical specs as of Nokia official, probably even user manual | 20:16 |

h4waii | Doc, it's designed to rotate though, is it created in portrait if selected or landscape and automagically rotated? | 20:16 |
sivang | h4waii: this could probably be fixed easily if when reciving a turning event we check to see if a call is in process or waiting to be answered and ignore it. | 20:16 |

sivang | what's that class A, a GSM standard ? | 20:19 |
DocScrutinizer | it means it's carriers fault when a call doesn't come thru, and all that can be done is throttle downloads, to keep spare timeslots for carrier to signal call | 20:19 |
lcuk | exactly | 20:19 |
lcuk | "throttle downloads" | 20:19 |
lcuk | does he need a straw counter? | 20:19 |

SpeedEvil | jacekowski: The internal emmc controller does not. | 21:19 |
lcuk | DocScrutinizer, :) thanks, h4waii that pastebin doesn't make as much sense as what doc posted. so the advice to Gizmokid2005 would be to contact his carrier (and hopefully being able to point them at a combined document/references about specifics) and see what they come back with? :) | 21:19 |
SpeedEvil | jacekowski: The emmc is _not_ a dumb nand flash device. It's got a complex werar leveling thing inside. | 21:19 |

SpeedEvil | jacekowski: that is dealt with in kernel by ubifs largely | 21:20 |
SpeedEvil | jacekowski: emmc/SD is basically the same. | 21:20 |
SpeedEvil | jacekowski: It emulates a 'perfect' block device | 21:20 |
SpeedEvil | Error free, and of fixed size | 21:20 |
kerio | yeah, right :) | 21:21 |
h4waii | So at the end of the day, are you willing to agree it is a carrier issue, lcuk? | 21:21 |
*** gaveen has joined #maemo | 21:21 | |
lcuk | h4waii, could you add that to the wiki but include link to the article doc posted too | 21:21 |
h4waii | I don't actually think I have a community account for wiki edits :P | 21:22 |
lcuk | h4waii, now that theres more coverage and real facts presented yes, but I will not take anytihng anyone says on irc at face value | 21:22 |
daleglass | SpeedEvil: since you seem knowledgeable, there's one thing I've been wondering: is swap on the same or a different device than the rest? Meaning, if swap were to wear things out is swap all that will break, or the entire device is hosed? | 21:22 |
SpeedEvil | Indeterminate. | 21:23 |

h4waii | lcuk - THAT is one of the reasons I talk with arrogance and conviction. Anything less is flimsy and ignored. | 21:23 |

h4waii | lcuk, I'm a firm believer that a person should help themselves, before asking for help. That means reading first. | 21:29 |
h4waii | lcuk, had he spent 30 seconds on Google, he would have found it's a carrier/network issue. | 21:29 |
SpeedEvil | javispedro: Tracker was an example. | 21:29 |
SpeedEvil | I'm not sure it swaps. | 21:30 |
daleglass | SpeedEvil: thanks, that's exactly what I was worried about. What I'm pondering is, how much wear does swap put in the eMMC, and would it make sense to get a nice fast card and move swap there to save the device from wear? | 21:30 |

johnx | RST38bis, mainly turns out to be different levels of polish on the build tools vs the actual toolkit, right? | 21:38 |
MohammadAG | javispedro, it builds fine on scratchbox, sigh | 21:38 |
RST38bis | johnx: Basically, yes, you can use Qt signals, but only if your headers and classes are really simple, the way Qt documentation describes | 21:38 |
RST38bis | johnx: No, the problems appear to be a bit more global than the lack of polish | 21:38 |

javispedro | Stroustrup would be proud | 21:39 |
RST38bis | johnx: And don't you try mixing C++ and C in your header file. MOC will *not* treat it as a C++ header. | 21:40 |

johnx | DocScrutinizer, a lot of people who have it working reliably for *themselves* are happy enough to move on to what they see as 'unsolved' problems | 23:04 |
kerio | for various value of reliably | 23:04 |
kerio | *values | 23:04 |
johnx | it's a hacker mentality, to solve the 'thought' portion of the problem, and leave the 'implementation' part up to others | 23:04 |
DocScrutinizer | johnx: *nobody* has it working reliably. Believe me, it simply can not work reliably | 23:05 |
johnx | reliable enough *for their own purposes* I should have said | 23:05 |
DocScrutinizer | they will notice soon enough | 23:05 |
johnx | great. then your problem will solve itself *shrugs* | 23:06 |
DocScrutinizer | it's about critical timing and electrical properties of the particular device | 23:06 |
*** Robotnixon has joined #maemo | 23:06 | |
DocScrutinizer | take device out to the sun, or install another process changing the timing of the whole thing, and :-S | 23:07 |

DocScrutinizer | but meh, I knew it'll be like this, when we pondered about publishing a debug test kernel with a however rudimentary UI that allows non-devels to "use" it | 23:09 |
DocScrutinizer | and I dare to have a glance to my crystal ball and tell the future: hostmode development will stall, while tmo gets spammed by 10^5 tips about how to make it work, which all are same nonsense | 23:11 |
MohammadAG | liked it wasn't stalled already mate | 23:12 |
MohammadAG | we were in a situation like noepwn's | 23:12 |
h4waii | LOL. Hardly. | 23:12 |
DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: uhuh | 23:12 |
MohammadAG | no development, all stuff was closed in one channel | 23:12 |
h4waii | We're working on fixing that. | 23:13 |
DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: wasn't that you who advocated the loudest to close the hostmode thread on tmo? | 23:13 |
h4waii | USB Host Mode wasn't private. | 23:13 |
*** spinningcompass has joined #maemo | 23:13 | |
MohammadAG | DocScrutinizer, yes, I thought we'd progress | 23:13 |
MohammadAG | but three (or 4?) months passed with no progress, at all | 23:14 |
DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: now you're complaining about some 'closedness' of a garage project | 23:14 |
*** spinningcompass has quit IRC | 23:14 | |
DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: that makes no sense | 23:14 |
MohammadAG | I'm not complaining about anything | 23:14 |
DocScrutinizer | meh | 23:14 |

DocScrutinizer | CoToHaX: I have a file /scratchbox/users/jr/home/jr/starhash-enabler/debian/changelog and it has exactly same content that's showing up on http://maemo.org/packages/view/starhash-enabler/ changes section. I haven't enabled anything | 23:42 |

DocScrutinizer | CoToHaX: anyway in /scratchbox/users/jr/home/jr/starhash-enabler/debian/control there's a XB-Maemo-Upgrade-Description: section that's holding the display in HAM when you update the pkg | 23:45 |
DocScrutinizer | but that's unrelated to changelog on garage website | 23:46 |
