*** TeringTuby has quit IRC00:00
timeless_pidginSo, just as you wanted someone to give you an already-working app, i wanted someone to get us an already-working app.00:00
valgrind@pupnic I see.. and thats a bluetooth solution ??00:00
valgrind@pupnik you still use the 770 ??00:00
valgrind@pupnik I came pretty far with getting everything up and running. but the usb hostmode is a struggle. in the hacker edition it seems i run into a hardlink that i cant access even though im root.00:02
*** TiagoTiago has joined #maemo00:02
valgrindwith my knowledge of unix, i find it confusing that root has less than full access. hmm...00:02
TiagoTiagohi00:03
*** bilboed-tp has quit IRC00:03
*** radic has quit IRC00:03
TiagoTiagohttp://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=831852 pretty please with sugar on top00:04
crashanddievalgrind:, why?00:04
TiagoTiago?00:04
*** guardian has quit IRC00:04
pupnikvalgrind: i haven't done the hostmode myself, so i just wish you good luck.00:05
*** piggz has quit IRC00:05
crashanddievalgrind: MohammadAG made quite a lot of progress with hostmode00:05
crashanddieMohammadAG: what's the status update on that, btw?00:05
*** nuovodna has quit IRC00:05
MohammadAGthe patches are sarahn's, I compiled them and released the binaries, as well as the UI to start hostmode, however, it's still in prealpha00:06
valgrindaah... ?? great :)00:06
MohammadAGHuge thanks to DocScrutinizer, sarahn, and the devs involved, I can't take credit for anything except the UI00:07
MohammadAGalso, thanks to my school for having boring lessons, I couldn't have reproduced it without em00:07
*** piggz has joined #maemo00:07
valgrind@MohammadAG For the 2007 software or the 2008HE ??00:07
MohammadAGhmm? this is about the N900 right?00:07
*** sar3th|away has quit IRC00:07
*** absic has left #maemo00:07
valgrindsorry... friend of mine gave me the 770. Its the old 770.00:07
valgrindapparently not the hottest thing at the bar right now :D00:08
*** citygent has quit IRC00:08
pupniki still like the 770 a lot00:08
crashanddie"The old 770"?00:08
TiagoTiagolol00:08
valgrindhaha.. sorry...00:08
pupnikit's just that websites suck00:08
TiagoTiagois there a new one?00:08
crashanddieTiagoTiago: the... n800 770, and the n810 770...00:09
valgrindim not sure.. give a paintjob perhaps ??00:09
valgrindso the n900 is the hot topic.00:09
TiagoTiagooh? really? i thought it was just N800, N770 being the previous model00:10
valgrind770,800,81000:10
*** radic has joined #maemo00:10
valgrindthose are the only predecessors i guess.00:10
TiagoTiagoso there isn't a new 770, no need to say "the old 770"00:10
crashanddieTiagoTiago: it was a joke00:10
TiagoTiagooh, sorry, i don't get it00:10
crashanddieno problem00:11
DocScrutinizervalgrind: usually irc clients won't highlight on @<nickname>, please use <nickname>: or <nickname>, instead00:11
TiagoTiagolol00:11
*** kuuntelija has quit IRC00:11
MohammadAGN770 doesn't exist00:11
MohammadAGit's 770, without the N :P00:11
valgrindhaha.. sorry.. my mistake. like saying "no.. thats my old wife", when you are still with her :D00:11
TiagoTiagoif you must use the @, place a space between it and the nick00:11
*** sar3th|away has joined #maemo00:11
TiagoTiagohm00:11
TiagoTiagothough on IRC @nickname usually means the nick in question has operator powers or somthing00:12
valgrindooh.. sorry. been awhile since I used IRC.00:12
TiagoTiagoit's alright00:12
*** smooph has quit IRC00:12

DocScrutinizervalgrind: don't worry, no damage done00:13
TiagoTiagousually it doesn't come up on chat anyway, just on the list of people currently int he channel, so the meaning doesn't get confused akk that easilly00:13
valgrindstill a great UI though. black, green and blue text. IRC is eyecandy for every penny00:13
TiagoTiagoall*00:13
TiagoTiagolol00:13
TiagoTiagodepend on what client you're using00:13
valgrindhaha... i want the one with animated GIFs then00:14
TiagoTiagoright now i'm getting grayish-white text on black background00:14
valgrindthe 89 feel :)00:14

valgrindooh.. i would love to see the yellow one00:16
TiagoTiagoyour client doesn't do collors?00:16
valgrindits saturday afterall :)00:16
valgrindtrying Mirc for the first time. guess chatzilla is long gone or out of fashion00:17
TiagoTiagoi'm on it00:17
valgrindhmmm... on Chrome anyway. Love the way It refuses to crash.00:17
TiagoTiagohave yuo checked X-chat btw?00:17
unluckierthere's something that's been annoying me for a while now.. is there no less for maemo5?00:17
valgrindaah..x-chat. 32bit client.00:18
valgrindyes.00:18
TiagoTiagounluckier:  apt-get install less00:18
lindi-valgrind: chromium crashes on my arm systems quite often, need to make some history files read-only to cope with it00:18

*** andre___ has joined #maemo00:20
valgrindirssi ?00:21
unluckier_the_ irc client.00:21
unluckiertotally.00:21
valgrindooh... i see.00:21
*** sar3thz has joined #maemo00:22
valgrindwell... irc is good. the gf wont get jaleous because if there are any chicks on irc, they know how to chown00:22
*** TeringTuby has joined #maemo00:22
TiagoTiagoirssi is that console based IRC client, right?00:23
TiagoTiago~irssi00:24
infobotmethinks irssi is a modular IRC client for UNIX. See http://irssi.org/, or the door to the 133700:24
unluckierTiagoTiago: it is.00:24
unluckierhehe, door to the 1337..00:24
*** Flipi is now known as Flipi|BNC00:25

valgrindhmm... so turning on hostmode on a 770. kinda of hopeless considering the fact that the 770 cant deliver power to the keyboard anyway.00:31
crashanddieerhm...00:31
crashanddiehostmode on 770 works fine00:31
TiagoTiagophysicly hack it to make it deliver00:31
valgrindit does ?? hmm.. okay.00:32
crashanddiejohnx: ping00:32
valgrindwith the echo host command ??00:32
johnxcrashanddie, pong00:32
crashanddiejohnx: valgrind needs some help with the 770 host mode00:32
johnxcrashanddie, I saw, but I never owned a 77000:32
crashanddieeh?00:32
crashanddieOh, you did it with the n80000:33
crashanddiecrap00:33
*** sar3thz has joined #maemo00:33
johnxvalgrind, the thing to google for might be "power injector 770"00:33
pupnikgood old days..00:33
crashanddievalgrind: my bad, sorry for the confusion00:33
valgrindjohnx: i installed the 2008HE version, but folderstructure seem different, and there is a hardlink i cant access as root, so i gave up and downgraded to to 2007 os00:33
*** sar3thz has joined #maemo00:33
*** beford has joined #maemo00:34
crashanddievalgrind: a hardlink you can't access as root?00:34
*** guardian has quit IRC00:34
crashanddievalgrind: where does it point to00:34
crashanddie?00:34
*** beford has quit IRC00:34
*** beford has joined #maemo00:34
johnxvalgrind, in either case, you need an external circuit to provide power to the keyboard, I think00:34
valgrindhmm.. the otg folder i suppose.00:34
valgrindthe guide on Maemo website seems incorrect when on the hacker edition.00:34
crashanddiewouldn't an externally-powered usb hub work?00:34
*** visz has quit IRC00:34
*** piggz has quit IRC00:35
*** sar3thz has joined #maemo00:35
valgrindi suppose the usb hub i have works. connected it to a battery delivering 5 volts.00:35
*** BCMM has quit IRC00:35
valgrindso keyboard should be alive. but hostmode is teasing.00:35
dolpis there like a way for my widget to monitor sent SMS.. i mean like everytime i send sms my widget should update something00:35
johnxdon't you need to provide power back to the 770 to actually trigger the chip to go into hostmode?00:35
johnxor did that change?00:36
valgrindso im confused what linus is actually running on the 770 and the 80000:36
crashanddiedolp: poll the el.db sqlite database00:36
johnxthe N800 is totally different hardware though...00:36
valgrindooh... right.. i read about a otg dongle00:36
valgrindooh.. i see. so running the 770 as an 800 will never really be a success.00:36
johnxyeah, the N800 *does* provide power on it's USB port00:37
valgrindexplains why pidgin and skype were crashing00:37
valgrindooh..00:37
valgrinddamn00:37
johnxwell, the CPU is *similar*, but it's a different "motherboard" if you want to think about it that way00:37
valgrindso getting an n800 would make the whole situation easier.00:37
johnxyeah, but the d-pad on the n800 is worse00:37
johnxand no cover00:38
johnxbut the N800 has a stand which is very cool00:38
valgrindhmm.. the d-pad ??00:38
johnxthe direction pad, the arrow keys :)00:38
valgrindaah... i see. and still a debian sarge cut down to nothing00:38
johnxyeah00:38
*** kuuntelija has joined #maemo00:39
johnxalso, it doesn't see a huge amount of active development for it00:39
valgrindaah.. okay.. dont use them. i just want to use the 770 for writing at my coffeebar. thought it would be cool.00:39
valgrindhaha... what ?? how can an iPad be cooler than my 770 ?? tsk...00:39
TiagoTiagoconsidering all the effort done on the N900 and the technology used, the could totally have added a 5way mouse controller thingy (either an optical trackball, or somthing like a little glass nub extending the touch sensitivity o fthe screen)00:40
TiagoTiagoit's coller 'cause it isn't running anything, without eating energy flipping lots of bits little heat is generated :P00:40
valgrindso the n900 is cool ? but how does that allow an external keyboard ??00:40
valgrindhaha.. true.. that is what cool actually means.00:41
TiagoTiago:P00:41
johnxto run a keyboard off the N800, you need: USB female host-A to USB male mini-B00:41
johnxand a keyboard that takes less than 100mA00:42
johnxor a bluetooth keyboard00:42
valgrindwow.. okay. that means the 770 is a dissater with keyboards unless using bluetooth.00:42
* MohammadAG ran a 200mA flash on the N90000:42
*** sar3thz has joined #maemo00:42
MohammadAGeven though the limit is 100, we just commented it out of the kernel00:42
*** kthomas_vh_ has quit IRC00:42
*** piggz has joined #maemo00:43
johnxMohammadAG, I think there's a way to tell the N800 to disable power restrictions which lets you get up to 200mA00:43
johnxbut for devices 100mA or under it "just works" (tm)00:43
TiagoTiagowould it b e possible to add a MITM thingy with double-As that sends power to the plugged device?00:43
*** MadViking has quit IRC00:44
*** kthomas_vh_ has joined #maemo00:44
johnxTiagoTiago, sure, but the keyboard would still say to the N800 over usb "I need 250mA" and the N800 would refuse00:44
*** MadViking has joined #maemo00:45
johnxso, what you want is a usb hub with batteries in it00:45
johnxcyberpower makes one00:45
*** bilboed-tp has joined #maemo00:45
*** sar3thz has joined #maemo00:45
TiagoTiagoyeah, i was thinking of somthing like that, though not necessarilly made on a factory00:45
*** BCMM has joined #maemo00:45
*** RangerBob has joined #maemo00:46
TiagoTiagowould the hub let two devices talk with eachother isntead of going down towards the host wire?00:46
johnxnope00:46
johnxthat's not the way USB works00:46
*** sar3thz has joined #maemo00:46
johnxUSB is only host<->device, not device<->device or host<->host00:47
TiagoTiagoin my head it was all a single piece of metal that shared the pulses from all devices00:47
TiagoTiagoand the devices just waited for their turn before sending their own pulses00:47
*** visz has joined #maemo00:47
BCMMit's a shame 1394 isn't more widespread...00:47
TiagoTiagoisn't that how ethernet over powerline works?00:48
*** geaaru has quit IRC00:50
*** b0tz has joined #maemo00:50
*** b0tz has joined #maemo00:50
TiagoTiagothat's probably a TEMPEST nightmare though00:50
johnxTiagoTiago, yeah, that's how an ethernet *hub* works00:52
TiagoTiagowhich is faster, USb or ethernet?00:52
BCMMjohnx: or thinnet00:52
jacktheripperI just found an easy way to repartition the n900. It's using the meego rescue initrd, do I post it to wiki ?00:52
nox-TiagoTiago, gigE is faster than usb00:53
BCMMthat was pretty much "every device is connected to a pair of conductors and waits to talk"00:53
nox-TiagoTiago, (and also more reliable in my experience...)00:53
unluckieri've never seen usb go faster than good ol fast ethernet in real lif conditions..00:53
johnxBCMM, or wifi ;) or the original "ethernet" :D00:54
TiagoTiagowhy USB is seen as better than ethernet?00:54
luke-jr_TiagoTiago: wtf?00:54
BCMMoriginal ethernet before my time, but my parents used to have thinnet00:54
luke-jr_USB is inherently bad design00:54
nox-oh unluckier i have seen some 20 MB/sec before...00:54
luke-jr_compared to almost anything00:54
SpeedEvilI have my / on USB.00:54
*** sar3thz has joined #maemo00:54
SpeedEvilIt goes at 30MB/s00:54
nox-luke-jr_, usb is desingned to be as cheap as possible i think00:54
SpeedEvilit's not really  a limitation for me.00:54
luke-jr_SpeedEvil: at the expense of CPU time00:54
SpeedEvilluke-jr: to a small degree.00:55
luke-jr_large*00:55
johnxbetter than root on NFS :P00:55
luke-jr_johnx: invalid comparison00:55
luke-jr_ATA over Ethernet is valid00:55
BCMMthe cpu time is the big deal here - USB (rather than firewire) is basically a false economy, unless you use it infrequently00:55
luke-jr_don't forget eSATA ;)00:55
nox-*nod*00:55
unluckierATA over ethernet..00:56
unluckierlayer violation much?00:56
BCMMin firewire, the hardware does a lof ot suff for itself, whereas in USB it's practically all done by the CPU00:56
unluckierbut whatever work i guess.00:56
BCMMwhich makes the hardware cheaper until you realise you need a faster CPU00:56
TiagoTiagoi've seen people using cat5 cables as USB extensions00:56
*** RangerBob has quit IRC00:56
luke-jr_http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATA_over_Ethernet00:56
*** yofel_ has joined #maemo00:56
luke-jr_unluckier: I don't see how it's a layer violation00:56
*** MadViking has quit IRC00:57
nox-unluckier, there also is iscsi...00:57
BCMMit's as if everybody is using winmodems now00:57
TiagoTiagofrom what've read it seems to work much better than official USB cables, and they are much cheaper for the meter00:57
nox-well said BCMM00:57
SpeedEvilluke-jr: USB uses basically twicer that of sata.00:57
SpeedEvilluke-jr: based on idle time and dd00:58
*** MadViking has joined #maemo00:58
*** yofel has quit IRC00:58
unluckierokay, it really is on the ethernet layer. so it isn't a layer violation, sry00:58
*** yofel_ is now known as yofel00:58
unluckierstill feels weird00:58
luke-jr_lol00:58
TiagoTiagowhy cable TV doesn't use plugs like thinnet?00:59
dRbiGyay, did my first .deb package and got myself screen working :)00:59
TiagoTiagoyay!00:59
*** zap has quit IRC00:59
BCMMUSB is more popular than firewire primarily because Intel pushed it, which is unsurprising, since it encourages CPU upgrades01:00
BCMMdRbiG: GNU screen?01:00
unluckierscreen? i want that too01:01
BCMM(the software that beat Windows' record for "most ambigious name")01:02
GAN900BCMM, well, that and it's cheaper since the controllers are much simpler.01:02
TiagoTiagolol01:02
GAN900Since it doesn't do much.01:02
ShadowJKthe people who write firewire drivers say firewire is a nightmare01:02
BCMMGAN900: as i said, so are softmodems, but that doesn't mean people like them01:02
*** geaaru has joined #maemo01:02
unluckierBCMM: dunno, there's also the added benefit of an abundance of really cheap devices.01:02
BCMMhmmm01:03
ShadowJKthat helps any technology take off, abundance of cheap stuff :)01:03
BCMMi actually don't know how much difference it makes to the price of, say, a mass-storage device01:03
dRbiGBCMM: yes01:03
*** S_WO has joined #maemo01:03
TiagoTiagowhat would happen if i wired a LED directly to the USB port of the N900?01:03
dRbiGscreen 4.0.301:03
ShadowJKTiagoTiago, depends on the led01:04
BCMM(since, unlike a PC, then don't already have a processor sitting around waiting to handle low-level protocol crap)01:04
BCMMTiagoTiago: and how you wire it :)01:04
TiagoTiagoa 5mil  hiugh intensity01:04
ShadowJKTiagoTiago, a Cree XRE/XPG or SSC P4 will probably blink briefly before N900 voltage booster shuts down due to overload01:04
TiagoTiagolets say i wire it in in the way the electricity flows01:04
dRbiGwhy would you want to wire a led to usb port? ;)01:05
SpeedEvilTiagoTiago: In principle, you coild - if you added a resisrtor - trurn it on and off using the vboost option.01:05
TiagoTiagoblinkenlights :P01:05
ShadowJKa 5millimeter one is probably going to shine angry blue for a few seconds before popping, or N900 shutting off voltage01:05
*** kuuntelija has quit IRC01:05
BCMMdRbiG: awesome, are you putting it into a repo? i want screen01:05
TiagoTiagothe N900 needs moar blinkenlights01:05
BCMM(see? like "windows", it makes me sound ungrammatical and cavemanish: "i want screen")01:05
*** b0tz has quit IRC01:05
dRbiGBCMM: hmm, i'm not yet at the level of investigating methods of contributing stuff; i'm at the level of making stuff i need work01:06
BCMMfair enough01:06
dRbiGbut i can put it on my server and give you a link to the plain .deb if you like01:06
dRbiGbut no warranties, it start and seems to work :)01:06
TiagoTiagowhat does it do?01:06
unluckierdRbiG: does it have nethack mode? :)01:07
dRbiGTiagoTiago: enables you to have multiple terminal sessions01:07
dRbiGunluckier: it has all that a plain vanilla screen 4.0.3 has - no idea about nethack :)01:07
TiagoTiagowithout using the factory terminal emulator?01:07
dRbiGif it all works is another thing01:07
*** bilboed-tp has quit IRC01:07
*** srw has quit IRC01:07
dRbiGTiagoTiago: in text mode :)01:07
TiagoTiagoi see01:07
TiagoTiagohandy01:08
dRbiGi wanted tmux01:08
dRbiGbut i have some problems with glib01:08
dRbiGas usual, linux crap ;)01:08
BCMMTiagoTiago: basically, you run screen at the console or in xterm or something, and it gives you multiple virtual terminals you can use01:08
TiagoTiagooh, it's not actually multiple terminals, it's multiple terminals inside of a single terminal?01:08
BCMMTiagoTiago: so that you can use "ctrl-a space" a bit like alt-tab01:08
dRbiGfor any hacking/developement i need to have more than one terminal session and i don't like having like 8x putty01:08
dRbiGscreen is better way01:08
BCMMTiagoTiago: it's sorta like a window manager, for text mode01:09
dRbiGBCMM: tmux is more of a wm in ncurses01:09
dRbiGbut as i said, to get tmux some work is actually needed01:09
dRbiGto be done on it01:09
TiagoTiagobut it runs inside a terminal, like i could hit control-shift-x type screen, and in that single window there would be multiple terminals acessible?01:09
BCMMTiagoTiago: for example, you have vim open, you want to go and ls some dir somewhere, so you use the keyboard shortcut for a new "window", causing vim to vanish and a shell to appear01:09
BCMMthen you can use another key combo to switch between that shell and your vim session01:10
TiagoTiagotext based multitasking01:10
BCMMTiagoTiago: exactly01:10
*** smooph1 has joined #maemo01:10
*** sar3th|away has joined #maemo01:10
BCMMTiagoTiago: you can also close xterm, open a new xterm, and reconnect to your screen session with your stuff still running01:11
BCMMit is GREAT for ssh over an unreliable connection01:11
TiagoTiagothat is awesmoe01:11
dRbiGit is a must have anywhere01:11
dRbiGmy tmux sessions usually have uptime close to the server uptime :)01:11
TiagoTiagoit kidna creates a server terminal output that you can connect to with multiple clients, or disconnect and keep it running01:11
TiagoTiago?01:12
dRbiGTiagoTiago: multiple clients at once only in tmux :)01:12
*** smooph has quit IRC01:12
dRbiGscreen is older01:12
TiagoTiagoi see01:12
dRbiGand simpler01:12
dRbiGbut it does the job well too01:12
dRbiGi'm just not sure if screen handles unicode01:13
lindi-dRbiG: screen -x allows multiple clients?01:13
*** Guest38044 has joined #maemo01:13
johnxdRbiG, pretty sure it does01:13
dRbiGlindi-: maybe it does - i migareted from it to tmux about 1.5 year ago01:13

johnxdRbiG, again, I'm almost positive it does. but I could check01:16
unluckierBCMM: oh.01:16
BCMMand i think screen can show more than one window at once, but i don't know how01:16
dRbiGjohnx: if it does then i have no real need to put any effort into getting tmux on n90001:16
BCMMit's kinda like vim, in that it does a whole lot of cool thing, and i know how some of them work01:17

johnxdRbiG, nevermind. guess it doesn't (at least in my config)01:17
BCMM"tmux is intended to be a modern, BSD-licensed alternative to programs such as GNU screen." (from the tmux website) - seems like they're pretty much equivalent01:18
dRbiGafir lack of unicode support was the main reason why i switched01:18

BCMMlooks like unicode support is off by default, in case your terminal doesn't support it, but you can enable it with -U01:19
dRbiGBCMM: great, 'll check it01:20
*** sar3thz has joined #maemo01:20
BCMMdRbiG: i get the impression tmux exists primarly because it's really useful to have that sort of thing, and the BSD folk don't like having GNU screen01:20
BCMM"tmux is part of the OpenBSD base system."01:21
unluckiermy client runs in screen.. give me unicode. ....01:21

TiagoTiagothey ran out of money in the budget?13:23
MohammadAGyour speakers might implode or such13:23
Freak5Are you the MohammadAG mentioned in that post? Sounds quite cool, although I am not as confident anymore that the programmer works, since it doesn't even work when using windows, so why should it work when the Host itself is not rly stable.13:24
Freak5Just one last question. Is this bounded to maemo or could I use it when using meego, since that seems to be the new OS on the phone(I should get some information about reinstalling the OS when playing around like that, anyhow...)13:24
MohammadAGanyone who wants to have a go, use flasher-3.5 --boot="init=/sbin/preinit ubi.mtd=rootfs root=ubi0:rootfs rootfstype=ubifs rootflags=bulk_read,no_chk_data_crc rw console=ttyMTD,log console=tty0 snd-soc-rx51.hp_lim=42 snd-soc-tlv320aic3x.hp_dac_lim=6"13:24

Jaffalcuk: I don't want to make all large input areas have a different font and smaller text (well, maybe I do)14:23

MohammadAGDocScrutinizer, I thought you were referring to host mode LOL14:24
BCMMMohammadAG: modest is open-source?14:24
lcukjaffa, I am of the impression that big text areas should start with big fonts14:24
Jaffalcuk: Lots of apps give you a chance to change what font you use, with one of them being "Default" or "System"14:24
JaffaBCMM: Yeah14:24

MohammadAGthe SSU one doesn't have portrait mode14:26

DocScrutinizersivang: bottom line is: force-assiciate to several neighbour stations, for each one get TA. You end with a pattern of intersecting rings with a width of 550m each16:32
dRbiGhmm, on the other hand geting stuff like gvfs or fuse would be nice to browse samba shares, maybe this stuff has some bt support too16:32
DocScrutinizerso with primary and first neighbour BTS you have an area of trpzoid shape and 550*550m16:32
DocScrutinizer3rd BTS cuts down significantly on that area16:33

timeless_xchatthen having a bunch of magic commands which more or less write arbitrary data to restricted directories is probably a bad idea17:53

timeless_xchatit's standard "we can't see beyond the tip of our nose"17:54
kwtmtimeless_xchat: True, and I run almost everything as "user", but there are a number of things that require "root" to run.  Instead of typing in each command at the command line, I'd rather put it in a script.  That way I can look it over and proofread before I actually run it.17:54
timeless_xchat"just because every other thing needed a .d/ doesn't mean we should get it right for the next thing we invent"17:54
DocScrutinizerkwtm: we aren't evry inclined to give examples how to do the wrong thing. That's why we try to teach you about how sudo is *supposed* to be used17:55

DocScrutinizertimeless_xchat: yesone thing's for sure. sudo never was meant to enable arbitrary commands to user, without any password query17:56

sivangtimeless_xchat: right, that is why I take care not to set it up18:07
sivangtimeless_xchat: disable challange passwords18:07
DocScrutinizertimeless_xchat: aiui you can even 'passwd user' and still sudoers is enabling proper working maemo18:07
kwtmOkay, then let me back up: to prevent typos and other silly mistakes, what is the best way to run a series of commands as root?  Type them in individually?  (risk of typos)  Put it in script file and run script file as root? (able to redo commands easily if need to repeat the process, but risks running many commands as root whereas only a few lines need root privileges)  Use sudo with root password? (seems to be best but apparently18:07
kwtmyou are saying that it has drawbacks)18:07
DocScrutinizeras it always has NOPASSWD in all enabled commands18:07
crashanddietimeless_xchat: and exactly how is not being able to ssh to user better than being able to ssh to root?18:08
lcukkwtm, best way is to write your script and package it up18:08
lcukso that you can reproduce it simply by installing18:08
lcuk:)18:08
lcukand then others also get benefits18:08
timeless_xchatcrashanddie : password based root is also stupid18:08
crashanddietimeless_xchat: and it's what the default install of openssh-server does.18:08
SpeedEvilhow is it stupid?18:08
DocScrutinizerkwtm: using sudo with root pw is safe and sane18:08
timeless_xchatwhat lcuk described is what i did...18:08
sivangcrashanddie: true, it should use pub/priv key and have the challange passwd disabled18:09
crashanddieDocScrutinizer: no it's not18:09
lcuktimeless_xchat, thats because you are smart :)18:09
timeless_xchatdocscrutinizer : it isn't18:09
sivangcrashanddie: and be abel to import keys from a usb stick inserted to it actong as OTG18:09
lindi-just don't ever forget your terminal unlocked or somebody might  alias sudo="/usr/bin/sudo rm -fr /"18:09
sivangcrashanddie: ;)18:09
timeless_xchatremember, we aren't using strong password hashing18:09
kwtmlcuk: I am not familiar with packaging, and also I am more referring to maintenance scripts (e.g. a script to backup everything to home server --that one doesn't need root privileges, of course) so it's not necessarily installing a package.  Do I really need to learn how to package before I can run root commands reliably?18:09
crashanddieDocScrutinizer: on an n900, *maybe*. But it really doesn't do anything else than su -c18:09
DocScrutinizertimeless_xchat: aha, why?18:09
lcukkwtm, a backup script would be better inside extras :)18:09
timeless_xchatdocscrutinizer : there isn't an /etc/shadow18:09
lcukthat way after you have backed up and do a normal restore18:10
DocScrutinizermeh18:10
DocScrutinizerok18:10
timeless_xchatread about the history of that file18:10
lcukit can install all your scripts back18:10
crashanddielindi-: rm -rf / doesn't work18:10
timeless_xchatwhy it exists, etc18:10
lcukkwtm, reproducability without scrabbling for command line options ;)18:10
kwtmlcuk: That is an example, but for example the backup script won't know how and when to log on to my home server and rsync which files, etc.18:10
lindi-crashanddie: I don't think that is the point :)18:10
timeless_xchatlindi : fwiw, the sun people actually spent the time proving that command should error18:10
timeless_xchatand theirs does18:10
lcukkwtm, it will be if you also backup the backup script configuration options :P18:10
lindi-crashanddie: feel free to add a /* there :)18:10
DocScrutinizertimeless_xchat: I *know* about shadow18:10
crashanddielindi-: :)18:10
lcukthe maemo backup is surprisingly good at things like that18:10
DocScrutinizerjust consider this a minor threat compared to allowing sudo gainroot without any pw query18:11
timeless_xchatyeah, while we all like to bash maemo backup18:11
timeless_xchatit actually is handy18:11
kwtmlcuk: Also, am I really limited to "backup" (that was just an example) and need to get "a backup script" --what about all other possible scripts I could write, like "keep a record of cell phone signal strength" etc. --I might not be able to find a script to package for that....18:11
timeless_xchatdocscrutinizer : the time to crack passwd isn't significant today18:11
lcukkwtm, put all those other scripts into a kwtm tools package :)18:12
timeless_xchatso from a security perspective, it isn't worth having18:12
lcukand store it on a git somewhere18:12

lcukkwtm, every script you write has one user: yourself, and you ARE trying to distribute it, because you will have problems after you reflash remembering yourself what you needed to do to configure it18:15

DocScrutinizerkwtm: check http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Joerg_rw/tools, it will set up proper password query for root access. then you can add similar lines like >>user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/led-pattern-helper *<< in /etc/sudoers.d/led-pattern-editor.sudoers to your own file there18:20

infobotmessy... err busybox is meant for lean scripting. Regarding all the missing options and immanent limitations (see su) it's not really the interactive shell of choice. A lot of people hate busybox because a lot of system integrators don't understand the difference between busybox and a decent user interactive shell plus unix utils19:07

c3lwhy is this channel alive? didnt maemo merge with some other platform and form meego?19:38
petterithere are couple of n900 out there with maemo installed19:38
c3loh, yeah. I didnt think too much there19:39
RST38hthis channel is dead19:39
RST38hyou have come to the wrong place19:39
c3lokay, so this is basically just the place for the obsolete maemo platform for the n900 (and earlier versions). meego is what it will be in the future?19:40

c3loh I see. but wont meego be intel based instead of arm, or is it the other way around. so there will be some core differences?19:43
