thp | NooBmonk3y: so i assume you're not interested in improvement suggestions to the "old" healthcheck code anymore? | 00:09 |
NooBmonk3y | erm, well, kinda ... but realistically, i'm so close to the new one, and it looks better, best to stick with one :) | 00:09 |
NooBmonk3y | as i'm aiming this one to be a bit more multi-platform | 00:09 |
NooBmonk3y | (eventually) | 00:10 |
thp | does the new one already have all the features of the old one? | 00:10 |
NooBmonk3y | allthough always interested where i went wrong ;) | 00:10 |
NooBmonk3y | almost all + some new | 00:10 |
*** messerting has quit IRC | 00:10 | |
NooBmonk3y | it's about 70% of old + more :) | 00:10 |
NooBmonk3y | so i'm just going through and adding sensor checks and camera checks atm | 00:11 |
thp | not "wrong" per se, but i can understand why things are slow | 00:11 |
NooBmonk3y | ahhhhhh :P | 00:12 |
NooBmonk3y | dare i ask, i went for the "it works approach" over the correct approach? | 00:12 |
thp | just wanted to clarify that python isn't slow :p | 00:13 |
NooBmonk3y | lol i'm not disagreeing :) | 00:13 |
NooBmonk3y | i actually like python, but stuggled for a while :) | 00:13 |
NooBmonk3y | my version may have been slow, though :p | 00:14 |
NooBmonk3y | probably due to lack of knowledge :) | 00:14 |

NooBmonk3y | aghhhhhhhhhhhh | 00:15 |
Funnyface | if I use the 3g/2g/dual applet to switch it to GSM only, then back to auto, it normally picks up a HSDPA connection for a while, but then sooner or later it falls back to 3G :> | 00:15 |
NooBmonk3y | missus on her way back and 15 mins to wash, clean tidy n sober lol | 00:15 |
thp | NooBmonk3y: there's just a lot of os.popen with pipes and awk/sed/... in there where you could either open files directly for reading or do the text processing (grep/sed/awk) more efficiently in python | 00:15 |
alterego | Just spent an hour doing a configuration dialog .. | 00:15 |
NooBmonk3y | ahhhhhh | 00:15 |
alterego | Think I'm losing it .. | 00:15 |
alterego | It's only 5 widgets .. | 00:15 |
NooBmonk3y | thp, os.popen i thought opened the file? | 00:16 |
NooBmonk3y | although i understand awk etc reads them and plays with them to get the bits i need | 00:16 |

NooBmonk3y | lol alterego | 00:16 |
*** MikaT has joined #maemo | 00:16 | |

*** marciom has quit IRC | 00:17 | |
*** Macer has joined #maemo | 00:17 | |
*** hardaker has quit IRC | 00:17 | |
thp | and if you have a pipe, you open a new process for every part of the pipe (cat ... | grep ... | awk ...) | 00:17 |
thp | erm.. actually, the "p" in popen stands for pipe according to the docs.. | 00:18 |
*** lmoura has joined #maemo | 00:19 | |
thp | but yeah, it still opens a process, which is slow | 00:19 |
alterego | python startup times on maemo are horrible as soon as you start using hildon/gtk or Qt bindings. | 00:20 |
*** unixSnob has quit IRC | 00:21 | |
alterego | python actually starts up pretty quickly if you're not importing any of that .. | 00:21 |
*** Natunen has quit IRC | 00:21 | |
mikhas | so python import is actually slow? | 00:21 |
*** marciom has joined #maemo | 00:22 | |
thp | yes, it loads the libraries | 00:22 |
alterego | No, python importing gtk is slow | 00:22 |
*** SpeedEvil has quit IRC | 00:22 | |
alterego | It's more likely in the gtk/hildon bindings than it is python import | 00:22 |
thp | ..which loads the gtk libraries | 00:22 |
alterego | Some crazy crap in their initialization. | 00:22 |
alterego | thp indeed. | 00:23 |
mikhas | well yes, sure loads the libs ;-) but other apps have to do that, too | 00:23 |
*** SpeedEvil has joined #maemo | 00:23 | |
*** benh has joined #maemo | 00:24 | |
mikhas | alterego, you easily verify that by trying to import different libs/different parts of GTK (doesnt python have this "import foo from blah"?), and measure it | 00:24 |
mikhas | *you could easily verify that | 00:24 |
*** larsivi has quit IRC | 00:24 | |
thp | "import foo from blah" still needs to load the whole library - it only affects what gets imported into the local namespace | 00:24 |
*** fecub has quit IRC | 00:25 | |
thp | and you should run a profiler if you really want to know where the loading time is going, i don't know :p | 00:25 |
mikhas | well, I kinda doubt it's the lib loading per se ... | 00:25 |
thp | loading + initialization | 00:26 |
alterego | mikhas: that's just handling namespace. | 00:27 |
alterego | That and gtk is one module .. | 00:27 |
pexi | http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2481&c=zte_v7 | 00:27 |
alterego | Well, and gdk | 00:27 |
mikhas | oh, you can use import inside functions ... | 00:27 |
mikhas | python is funky | 00:27 |
alterego | Sure, you could do it asynchronously ^.^ | 00:27 |
mikhas | http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonSpeed/PerformanceTips#ImportStatementOverhead | 00:28 |

alterego | And C++ is easy enough to become dangerous in with little effort. | 00:28 |
mikhas | err | 00:29 |
mikhas | good for you if you feel that C++ is easy | 00:29 |
mikhas | you must be a natural talent ;-) | 00:29 |
alterego | I don't think it's easy, | 00:29 |
alterego | I think it's easy to learn and become dangerous in ;) | 00:30 |
alterego | To learn it fully, well, that's something else. | 00:30 |
mikhas | I dont think I get your point | 00:30 |
alterego | Well, nevermind. | 00:31 |

pupnik | djszapi: if you mean a document viewer, there are many. If you mean the microsoft .doc file format, what would you be willing to pay for one? | 06:49 |
pupnik | you could also do a good thing for humanity and bounce back .doc files as unreadable | 06:50 |
*** chx has quit IRC | 06:56 | |
Choom | the spec is available, so it's pretty readable -- http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc313118.aspx | 06:59 |

DocScrutinizer | or ask "his boss" why there's no such reader | 07:06 |
pupnik | .doc isn't a document format. at least not as long as whatever is supposed to parse it must handle 5+ different formats. | 07:09 |
pupnik | maybe you could call it a family of formats | 07:09 |
pupnik | and microsoft chose - as a strategic ploy - to do this, in order that a free document viewer would be prohibitely expensive to implement | 07:11 |
pupnik | not to mention competitor word processors | 07:11 |
pupnik | the economic harm of this jackassery is difficult to estimate, but if you think to your document-formatting headaches throughout your life, much of that could have been avoided | 07:12 |
* erstazi misses this channel (used to come here when the 770 first came out). Still waiting on his free t-shirt from one of the Nokia guys | 07:12 | |
pupnik | it was nice when we were the only game in town, erstazi | 07:13 |
*** trupheenix has joined #maemo | 07:13 | |
erstazi | yep | 07:13 |
pupnik | maybe a little too sleepy | 07:13 |
erstazi | talking about my free t-shirt | 07:13 |
erstazi | haha | 07:13 |
erstazi | anyhow, recently,… I bought a n900 and I am excited as my 770 was white-screened about a year ago by a step-child. << never let children touch your tech equipment | 07:14 |
pupnik | i vaguely remember your nick | 07:15 |
pupnik | congrats erstazi :) like it so far? | 07:16 |
erstazi | pupnik: this was 5~ years ago,… so I don't expect you to remember | 07:16 |
pupnik | for me, it's the _only_ cool device on the market | 07:16 |
erstazi | pupnik: haven't received it yet. it is in the mail. I think I got a steal on it since I only paid 220€ | 07:17 |
erstazi | brand new | 07:17 |
pupnik | can I order one from you? | 07:17 |
erstazi | haha | 07:17 |
erstazi | pupnik: have you tried MeeGo yet? (I do not like RPM-based distros much, even though I run one on main server) | 07:18 |
pupnik | yes i have. | 07:19 |
erstazi | sad to see maemo go, honestly. but what are your thoughts on it? | 07:19 |
pupnik | in some ways it's better than maemo. it's a foundation. it's open. it's supported by two major vendors not one | 07:20 |
erstazi | right | 07:20 |
pupnik | i'm sort of sad to see gtk stuff go away | 07:21 |
erstazi | exactly | 07:21 |
*** johnx has quit IRC | 07:21 | |
erstazi | but, then again, I was shocked they went with GTK in ITOS 2005 | 07:21 |
erstazi | since it is Nokia, that is. | 07:21 |
pupnik | what did you think they would do? | 07:21 |
pupnik | qt? | 07:22 |
erstazi | Qt | 07:22 |
pupnik | i think gtk was do-able at that time | 07:22 |
erstazi | right | 07:22 |
erstazi | I agree | 07:22 |
erstazi | nevermind, Nokia acquired Trolltech in 2008 | 07:22 |
erstazi | either way, I might dual boot, not sure yet. | 07:26 |

pupnik | erstazi: how about running a changeroot on n900 with two x-servers - one maemo and one meego? | 07:38 |
pupnik | wonder if it's possible | 07:38 |
erstazi | pupnik: hmmm, I am up for the challenge (: | 07:41 |
ieatlint | i don't think it's realistic to run more than one x server on a system | 07:42 |
pupnik | maybe X can arbitrate between two OS's but the rest of the devices wouldn't support that out of the box | 07:42 |
pupnik | ieatlint: i do it on my PC fairly frequently | 07:42 |
ieatlint | i recall being given some very in depth reasoning why... | 07:42 |
ieatlint | there's no reason to run two x servers though, it's fully possible to just run 1 server for both methinks | 07:43 |
erstazi | maybe it is similar to our mothers telling us not to double-dip? | 07:43 |
pupnik | http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/multiple-x.html | 07:43 |
ieatlint | heh, alright then | 07:44 |
ieatlint | would still be unadvisable on the n900 if you look at how much ram x uses | 07:45 |
pupnik | agree | 07:45 |

DocScrutinizer | how would you share other resources? battery charging, accelerometers, notification LEDs, audio... all not designed to run with two concurrently active systems | 07:48 |

DocScrutinizer | nah | 07:49 |
ieatlint | some awesome race conditions is how | 07:51 |

RobbieThe1st | I'd do "killall -USR1 `pidof dd`" which -does- work if only one DD instance is running. | 12:05 |

timeless_mbp | RobbieThe1st: on your busybox system i hope? | 12:11 |
* timeless_mbp wouldn't trust behaviors from a standard gnu or bsd app to apply on busybox | 12:11 | |
RobbieThe1st | Nope; on my bash-based Debian desktop | 12:11 |
RobbieThe1st | He was using a computer too, so it's a fair thing | 12:11 |
RobbieThe1st | *desktop/laptop, not n900 | 12:11 |
zeev | is dd's output called raw disk image? (testdisk image.dd to carve a raw disk image) | 12:11 |
timeless_mbp | is he using it or is he using his n900? | 12:12 |

timeless_mbp | zeev: dd's output is roughly equivalent to dd's input | 12:12 |
timeless_mbp | if your input device is a disk, then the output is an image of a disk | 12:12 |
RobbieThe1st | So, yes, I suppose it would be a raw disk image | 12:12 |
RobbieThe1st | In the case we are talking about | 12:12 |

andre__ | so not a good plan ;-) | 14:34 |
*** CableTwitch has joined #maemo | 14:34 | |
CableTwitch | So, I've had my 2nd phone die on me now XD | 14:34 |
DocScrutinizer | aha, and who decides about which ones are important? you?? | 14:34 |
CableTwitch | If you want me to, I can? | 14:35 |
andre__ | DocScrutinizer, https://bugs.maemo.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#importance | 14:35 |
DocScrutinizer | pfff | 14:35 |
* CableTwitch declares the red ones to be of the utmost importance. | 14:35 | |
Coke | Isn't the whole point of open source projects that you don't need Nokia's blessing? | 14:35 |
andre__ | (though that's the default fields.html. Hmm, a bug.) | 14:36 |
CableTwitch | This may or may not be a good thing to ask, but I'm getting dribbly results from the official source... is there a community torrent of the PR1.3 firmware? | 14:36 |
Coke | In any case, is it confirmed that meego will be the next thing? If not, Maemo will need more support. | 14:36 |
CableTwitch | Also, what does it mean when the LED does sod all when you power up, the device sits on the Nokia logo for about 30 seconds, then the screen powers down ever-so-slowly? | 14:37 |
CableTwitch | I seem to have a knack for making things not work no more. | 14:37 |
Coke | sounds like your phone is broken | 14:38 |
Coke | Never had that happen to me | 14:38 |
CableTwitch | Its possible, as its a wonderful refurb. | 14:38 |
DocScrutinizer | charge battery? | 14:38 |
CableTwitch | I broke the USB connector out of the first one, and Vodafone gave me a lovely replacement, and said mine couldnt be fixed. | 14:38 |
CableTwitch | Funny, they sent it to Nokia too. | 14:38 |
CableTwitch | Doc: Battery is fully charged. | 14:38 |
*** tackat has joined #maemo | 14:38 | |
*** richieeee72 has joined #maemo | 14:39 | |
Coke | Ive had my for, hm, almost a year, been on the last 86 days without restart so I would have to test. | 14:39 |
DocScrutinizer | CableTwitch: actually looks like hw problem. Can you take a video and post | 14:39 |
*** richieeee72 has left #maemo | 14:39 | |
CableTwitch | The funny thing is this... I was using it on wifi only while in the states, when, after reading an email, it decided to freeze up on me. Nothing out of the ordinary, as the firmware wasnt even PR1.2 at this point. So I restarted it... and it never woke up beyond the above description. | 14:39 |
CableTwitch | I can do, doc. | 14:40 |
Coke | andre__: so what's gonna happen? No more updates? | 14:40 |
andre__ | Coke: Huh? I didn't say that | 14:40 |
Coke | No, I'm asking | 14:40 |
andre__ | Well, ask Nokia... | 14:40 |
CableTwitch | the only downside is that I'm not linux expert (not even technically a user), so probing the internals from a linux desktop is A) Beyond me, and B) I dont run linux anyway. | 14:40 |
Coke | andre__: I thought they didn't run that show | 14:40 |
CableTwitch | I DID manage to update it to PR1.3, it would appear, but no joy. | 14:41 |
Coke | CableTwitch: it's a joyless world | 14:41 |
CableTwitch | Going to try one last go with the eMMC as well, and if that doesnt work, another trip to the Voda store... | 14:41 |
CableTwitch | Heres another funny thing... | 14:41 |
andre__ | Coke: official Maemo5 releases? Yes, that's Nokia's area. | 14:41 |
CableTwitch | Plug it into the power, or the USB lead without activating the upload mode, and the device powers on, and tries to boot. | 14:42 |
Coke | andre__: don't really care if they are official. i run the extra and dev repos as well | 14:42 |
CableTwitch | It has gotten as far as the flashing dots a few times, but no further. | 14:42 |
andre__ | Coke, that's a completely different topic | 14:42 |
*** FranzStrudel has joined #maemo | 14:42 | |
CableTwitch | So, now I'm DLing the 1.3 release again, in order to do the flash+emmc. | 14:42 |
DocScrutinizer | CableTwitch: sounds like weak battery | 14:42 |
MohammadAG | CableTwitch, backup your mmc and flash it | 14:42 |
*** scoobert1on has joined #maemo | 14:43 | |
CableTwitch | Downloading at 18k/s... :O( | 14:43 |
CableTwitch | Doc: Does it from the mains as well. | 14:43 |
*** murrayc_ has quit IRC | 14:43 | |
MohammadAG | DocScrutinizer, or a broken eMMC, thus opitfication fails and therefore, bootup goes into an infinite loop | 14:43 |
DocScrutinizer | CableTwitch: there's no "from mains" | 14:43 |
CableTwitch | Now... does anyone know of a faster location to get the 1.3 release, bar nokias pitifully slow site? | 14:43 |
CableTwitch | Doc: Oh goody. | 14:44 |
DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: as well possible | 14:44 |
Coke | thanks | 14:44 |
*** Coke has quit IRC | 14:44 | |
MohammadAG | CableTwitch, their site gives me good speeds | 14:44 |
CableTwitch | Ahh, yes. One more thing... I did have it showing a solid yellow LED at points, which I belive is when the battery is below 3.7v? | 14:44 |
MohammadAG | and no, at least not legally | 14:44 |
*** pcacjr has joined #maemo | 14:45 | |

*** Rarok has quit IRC | 14:45 | |
MohammadAG | or when bme fails to start and battery is low | 14:45 |
DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: or wrong flashing sequence, with a boot in between | 14:45 |
CableTwitch | Hmm. You'd think maemo.org might host a torrent of it, for easy access. Or do nokia not like the idea of that? | 14:45 |
MohammadAG | DocScrutinizer, yep | 14:45 |
*** vanadis_ has joined #maemo | 14:45 | |
CableTwitch | The battery appeared to charge fine after a while, and ened the charge cycle on a green LED, but still no joy. | 14:45 |
MohammadAG | CableTwitch, only nokia can host the image | 14:45 |
MohammadAG | torrents mean others will be uploading | 14:45 |
DocScrutinizer | CableTwitch: odd. reflash | 14:46 |
CableTwitch | Bum. I'd better go shout at VM then | 14:46 |
*** Coin_Ope_Boy has joined #maemo | 14:46 | |
CableTwitch | Doc: The unit died BEFORE I flashed it, which was odd. It just seemed to kill itself. | 14:46 |
CableTwitch | Crashed, restarted, and went into alzheimers boot-loop | 14:46 |
DocScrutinizer | ok, that's a clear "perster seller" | 14:46 |
DocScrutinizer | pester even | 14:47 |
DocScrutinizer | CableTwitch: unless you unstalled power kernel, or mobile hotspot | 14:47 |
CableTwitch | Yaya, 15.4MB done so far, only 2 hours 46 to go... | 14:47 |
DocScrutinizer | installed (damn I miss my coffee) | 14:48 |
CableTwitch | Doc: The unit was untouched, apart from installing previous software that I had on it before. | 14:48 |
CableTwitch | Some software didnt install, due to it being the wrong PR | 14:48 |
DocScrutinizer | CableTwitch: unless you unstalled power kernel, or mobile hotspot | 14:48 |
CableTwitch | And waaaaaaait a minute.... | 14:48 |
CableTwitch | I dont use power kernel or mobile hotspot. | 14:48 |
DocScrutinizer | hmm, k | 14:49 |
CableTwitch | I DID manage to get WifiEye installed, although it wouldnt run. I wonder if that threw something into the works? | 14:49 |
DocScrutinizer | anyway try reflashing | 14:49 |
CableTwitch | I shall. | 14:49 |
CableTwitch | I hope to hell its not hardware related. I really dont want to wait for another unit again XD | 14:49 |
*** mveplus has joined #maemo | 14:50 | |
RobbieThe1st | I doubt it; probably a dumb eMMC/optfs issue. | 14:50 |
CableTwitch | The sad thing about the first one is that shortly after sending it off, I realised my local hackspace has an SMC hot-air rework station. I could have replaced the bloody USB port myself... *cries* | 14:50 |
* MohammadAG hates hardware problems | 14:50 | |
CableTwitch | Does the eMMC have moments where it corrupts itself then? | 14:51 |
CableTwitch | Or something else might cause it to go a bit loopy? | 14:51 |
RobbieThe1st | It did on me, once. Still not sure why | 14:51 |
CableTwitch | For all I know, it might have been cosmic radiation. | 14:51 |
CableTwitch | Which would figure, oddly. I WAS pretty much on the equator... direct hit, mental firmware ahoy! | 14:52 |
RobbieThe1st | Literally out of the blue, the Optfs corrupted and it wouldn't boot. After diagnosing the problem, I restored an optfs backup image(thanks to my own software) and that solved the problem | 14:52 |
CableTwitch | Something else... it wouldnt pick up GPS that day either. Nothing above me, I had the relevant map installed, and it wouldnt find anything. | 14:52 |
RobbieThe1st | Who knows. | 14:52 |
CableTwitch | Robbie: I've seen your posts, and I might be tempted to see how you did that. | 14:52 |
CableTwitch | IF this attempt fails miserably. But like I said earlier, if it involves a linux desktop, I'm a bit fubar. | 14:53 |
CableTwitch | however, its going to take me a good 3 hours or so to get to that point, courtesy of something playing silly buggers with my net speed. | 14:53 |
RobbieThe1st | It's all GPL licensed shell-script. And, the benefit of my setup is it -doesn't- require a PC for -most- stuff. | 14:53 |
CableTwitch | How does it work then? | 14:54 |
DocScrutinizer | CableTwitch: there've been bootloops because of SIM with odd contact or SMS data on it | 14:54 |
CableTwitch | Mr Device doesnt boot, so it needs something external to cause it to play nice. | 14:54 |
*** zutesmog has joined #maemo | 14:54 | |
DocScrutinizer | try booting without SIM and without uSD | 14:54 |
*** Termana has quit IRC | 14:54 | |
CableTwitch | Doc: No SMS or contacts added after I arrived in the US. I was there for 3 weeks, it dies on the 2nd to last day. | 14:55 |
*** scoobertron has quit IRC | 14:55 | |
CableTwitch | Oh, and I've tried removing everything, no dice. | 14:55 |
DocScrutinizer | ok | 14:55 |
CableTwitch | At this point, I might place it in a pyramid and sacrafice a black lamb to the gods in order to make it better. | 14:55 |
RobbieThe1st | Bootmenu-n900 starts a script right at the beginning of the boot process if the keyboard is open. My script runs right there, makes a ramdisk, and chroots into it - From there, backing up or restoring stuff to the rootfs/optfs/whatever is easy, because it's not being accessed | 14:55 |
DocScrutinizer | won't help :-P | 14:56 |
CableTwitch | Which, my method or his script? | 14:56 |
CableTwitch | Robbie: I take it you place that on the SD card? | 14:56 |
*** scoobert1on has quit IRC | 14:56 | |
RobbieThe1st | Well, it won't help -this- problem currently. I mean... you've got to install it first. | 14:56 |
MohammadAG | both :P | 14:56 |
DocScrutinizer | RobbieThe1st: chroot or pivotroot | 14:57 |
CableTwitch | Ahhh, its a pre-disaster recovery doohicky. | 14:57 |
CableTwitch | Oh, you son of a bitch... one second | 14:57 |
RobbieThe1st | Actually, I keep all I need(around ~100kb) on the rootfs. I generate the ramdisk on-the-fly from maemo files. And I use chroot. | 14:57 |
RobbieThe1st | Why? | 14:57 |
DocScrutinizer | chroot isn't the right thing for leaving real root alone | 14:58 |
*** CableTwitch has quit IRC | 14:58 | |
*** tuxer has quit IRC | 14:58 | |
DocScrutinizer | you'll need pivotroot for this | 14:58 |
*** CableTwitch has joined #maemo | 14:58 | |
RobbieThe1st | What happens? I mean... I was able to umount the ubifs, so I -assume- things work OK...? | 14:58 |
CableTwitch | Goddamnit, stupid bloody switch went mental, which would account for the crappy download speeds. | 14:59 |
CableTwitch | There we go... 1.9MB/s... better now | 14:59 |
*** tuxer has joined #maemo | 14:59 | |
CableTwitch | 10 seconds till its done XD | 15:00 |
MohammadAG | lol | 15:00 |
CableTwitch | Its many, many years old, and it sometimes loses the plot. You can tell when its gone mental because the traffic lights flash constantly. | 15:01 |
CableTwitch | Its old, but its mostly reliable, and it was only a tenner. | 15:01 |
CableTwitch | Soooo. thats the eMMC and the PR1.3 done | 15:01 |
CableTwitch | Time to flash... | 15:01 |
CableTwitch | A question... better to go for the global PR1.3, or whack the UK PR1.2 on it? | 15:02 |
RobbieThe1st | 1.3 | 15:02 |
DocScrutinizer | global | 15:02 |
CableTwitch | Right | 15:02 |
BCMM | i'm still not sure what hte point of UK releases is | 15:03 |
BCMM | they all support UK english | 15:03 |
RobbieThe1st | Hm; near as I can figure, chroot will work in my case due to it being the init thread I'm running on; and the fact that it -can- unmount the old rootfs, so it's working right anyway. I'll look at pivotroot later, though. | 15:03 |
DocScrutinizer | pivot_root used to switch e.g. from initrd to real rootfs | 15:04 |
CableTwitch | Right, lets flash this bastard... | 15:04 |
RobbieThe1st | Well, be that as it may, it still -works-, for whatever reason. So, no reason to panic, I don't think. | 15:05 |
*** scoobertron has joined #maemo | 15:05 | |
RobbieThe1st | And if it didn't work right(not able to umount rootfs), it would give an error, so that should be good enough until I can figure out pivot_root. | 15:05 |
DocScrutinizer | RobbieThe1st: yes, usually you backup systems in init S state, not even in chroot. I guess it's ok | 15:05 |
kerio | http://www.linux.fm/ O.o | 15:06 |
kerio | that's brilliant | 15:06 |
DocScrutinizer | just saying chroot isn't the right tool | 15:06 |
CableTwitch | At least it flashes. | 15:06 |
RobbieThe1st | Hm, I'm curious - is there a page detailing the n900's boot sequence compared to a "desktop" distro's boot sequence? | 15:07 |
RobbieThe1st | I know there are some difference | 15:07 |
DocScrutinizer | lol, alas not | 15:07 |
*** Termana has joined #maemo | 15:07 | |
RobbieThe1st | I'm going to have to look into that at some point... Anyway, I'm off now. | 15:08 |
CableTwitch | Oh hell no.... | 15:08 |

alterego | Anyone know a good program for Linux that allows you to view NMEA logs? | 15:09 |
DocScrutinizer | first boot can take minutes | 15:09 |
*** hannesw has quit IRC | 15:10 | |
CableTwitch | I'm waiting, but its just sitting at the dim nokia logo, like its in upload mode. But no USB symbol. | 15:10 |
CableTwitch | I havent done the eMMC though | 15:10 |
DocScrutinizer | CableTwitch: we recover everything, we are linux :-P | 15:10 |
CableTwitch | Oh, dots? | 15:10 |
CableTwitch | Aaaand it freezes on the 2nd dot. Again. | 15:10 |
CableTwitch | I shall wait, however. | 15:10 |
DocScrutinizer | LED? | 15:11 |
CableTwitch | Uh, huh | 15:11 |
CableTwitch | Bright Nokia screen... | 15:11 |
DocScrutinizer | was it amber solid while dim NOKIA? | 15:11 |
CableTwitch | Oh, and its now in its reboot loop. Great. | 15:11 |
CableTwitch | No, no LED. | 15:11 |

*** jsears has joined #maemo | 15:12 | |
CableTwitch | I can TRY and do the eMMC now, if thats likely to make any difference? | 15:12 |
DocScrutinizer | you flashed COMBINED? | 15:12 |
DocScrutinizer | 1.3? | 15:12 |
CableTwitch | I flashed PR1.3 global. | 15:12 |
CableTwitch | Combined, yes | 15:12 |
CableTwitch | Using the latest release, both the PR and the eMMC | 15:13 |
*** FIQ|n900 has quit IRC | 15:13 | |
CableTwitch | Well, I would be using the latest eMMC, but it never quite got that far | 15:13 |
*** BCMM has quit IRC | 15:13 | |
CableTwitch | The hell? | 15:13 |
CableTwitch | Oh, thats gotta be bad. | 15:13 |
DocScrutinizer | so now try flash VANILLA first, without -R. remove battery when flashing finished. then flash COMBINED again, by sequence "flasher; plug; hold u; insert bat" | 15:13 |
CableTwitch | Well, it appears during one of its boot cycles, it decided to update the eMMC. I forgot it was still waiting to do so. | 15:14 |
CableTwitch | Ok, I'll wait for it to power down. | 15:14 |
CableTwitch | The boot cycle keeps repeating when its plugged into power/USB, but when disconnected, it just loses all interest and fades out. | 15:15 |
CableTwitch | I have no control over when it decides to restart, however. | 15:15 |
DocScrutinizer | sounds quite like fried hw | 15:16 |
CableTwitch | right, update mode enabled, its sitting happily. | 15:16 |

*** Nirtal has joined #maemo | 15:16 | |
CableTwitch | Aaaand no suitable device found. | 15:16 |

DocScrutinizer | make *sure* you don't accidentally boot after that | 15:16 |
*** lolloo has quit IRC | 15:17 | |
CableTwitch | At this point, I'm going to have to make sure I dont throw it out of the window. | 15:17 |
*** Rarok has joined #maemo | 15:17 | |
DocScrutinizer | no, you have to make sure battery is completely charged. Alas that's impossible with only a bootlooping deice | 15:17 |
CableTwitch | It DOES eventually charge the battery | 15:18 |
DocScrutinizer | no it DOES NOT | 15:18 |
CableTwitch | It goes solid yellow for a while, then pulsing in charge mode, then solid green when its done. | 15:18 |
CableTwitch | So basically, I have a device that cannot charge its battery? | 15:18 |
DocScrutinizer | so this is a "completely booted" system that does this | 15:18 |
CableTwitch | I think it gives up after a while. | 15:19 |
CableTwitch | I know I'm getting that way | 15:19 |
DocScrutinizer | green LED means bme is running, means linux proper is running | 15:19 |
CableTwitch | Huh, so eventually it MUST boot. | 15:19 |
DocScrutinizer | the state is called acting_dead | 15:20 |
DocScrutinizer | and is similar to a init 2 | 15:20 |
DocScrutinizer | on a usual system - well kinda | 15:20 |
CableTwitch | Battery voltage reads 3.98, so it must be charging. | 15:20 |
DocScrutinizer | that's ok | 15:20 |
*** FIQ|n900 has joined #maemo | 15:21 | |
DocScrutinizer | and eMMC flahing inadvertedly rebooted? | 15:21 |
DocScrutinizer | even without -R? | 15:21 |
CableTwitch | Thats the odd thing. If I try to do the eMMC, it cant find the device, even though its in upload mode. | 15:21 |
CableTwitch | However, the device apparently got flashed with it during one of its reboots. | 15:22 |
CableTwitch | Hmm. | 15:22 |
CableTwitch | I get a brief yellow LED if I plug the data cable in with no battery | 15:22 |
DocScrutinizer | :nod: | 15:22 |
DocScrutinizer | nevermind | 15:22 |
CableTwitch | And as soon as I put the battery in with the cable attached, the device powers up and tried to boot. Only, with no backlight. | 15:23 |
DocScrutinizer | :nod: | 15:23 |
SpeedEvil | Some people have experienced emmc hardware failures. | 15:23 |
DocScrutinizer | you hold 'u' while it does that | 15:23 |
*** luke-jr has quit IRC | 15:23 | |
DocScrutinizer | start flasher, hold 'u', plug in, hold 'u', insert battery, still hold 'u' | 15:24 |
CableTwitch | Ok, it connects to the PC fine when I hold U, and I can flash the FIASCO fine. But if I try and do the eMMC, it cant find the device. | 15:24 |
CableTwitch | start flasher, as in get it waiting? | 15:25 |
DocScrutinizer | that's incorrect | 15:25 |
DocScrutinizer | yes | 15:25 |
*** chaoflow has quit IRC | 15:25 | |

plr_ | restart repairs it, but I was wondering if there is a service that could just be restarted from the xterm.. | 15:54 |

*** FIQ|n900 has joined #maemo | 17:35 | |
DocScrutinizer | that's a simple activation scheme | 17:35 |
DocScrutinizer | which will need additional unrelated measures to take full effect | 17:35 |
crashanddie | alterego, in my previous company, all the products, most of whom were sold for an average contract price of 800k USD didn't have any license keys or rights management | 17:35 |
alterego | Seriously though, it's not like I'm going to be unreasonible, I'm not saying 1 copy per N900. | 17:35 |
alterego | I'll give a user as many copies as they have N900s | 17:36 |
alterego | It's just an insurance policy. | 17:36 |
DocScrutinizer | crashanddie: that's business grade contracts - a completely different domain | 17:36 |
crashanddie | Then just give it the ability to activate from demo to full | 17:36 |
alterego | crashanddie: when you're selling for that amount you don't need to. | 17:36 |
crashanddie | without the ability to "cancel" a key | 17:36 |
alterego | That'd be even easier for javispeado to crack :P | 17:37 |
crashanddie | in other words, it only dials out upon activation, never afterwards | 17:37 |
alterego | I'm not having any dial home in my apps. | 17:37 |
crashanddie | ok, i'll admit, I have no idea what you're doing | 17:37 |
alterego | That's the point of signing the package with a phones' IMEI | 17:37 |
crashanddie | please explain? | 17:37 |
alterego | Basically, someone orders, they give me their IMEI, I create a custom package for them and distribute it. | 17:38 |
alterego | That package has in it a mechanism that stops it running when on a device that doesn't have a matching IMEI | 17:38 |
jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: there are people that pirate for fun | 17:38 |
chem|st | alterego: I'm not doing fancy giving anyone my IMEI | 17:38 |
jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: and there are people that just crack protections for fun | 17:38 |
DocScrutinizer | I know, jacekowski | 17:38 |
crashanddie | alterego, you really believe people are going to give you their IMEI? | 17:38 |
alterego | crashanddie: I don't know, we'll see :P | 17:38 |
crashanddie | alterego, people are scared of giving their IP address on the web | 17:39 |
crashanddie | let alone an IMEA | 17:39 |
chem|st | alterego: IMEI's are on the hunt for china as they produce their jacker devices with stolen IMEIs | 17:39 |
crashanddie | "OMG, HE'S GOING TO COPY MY SIMCARD" | 17:39 |
alterego | Heh | 17:39 |
jacekowski | crashanddie: well, there are other option | 17:39 |
erstazi | yeah, IMEI is a tad tough to give out for most people | 17:39 |
DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: and your best bet to beat those is to be 2 weeks ahead of them, with free upgrades etc | 17:39 |
jacekowski | s | 17:39 |
*** bigbrovar has joined #maemo | 17:39 | |
alterego | Well, there are other options, IMEI seemed the most sensible. | 17:39 |
crashanddie | it's definitely not | 17:39 |

jacekowski | alterego: activation will be a lot better ida | 17:39 |
jacekowski | idea | 17:39 |
crashanddie | well, WLAN MAC is dangerous, cuz it's easily changeable | 17:39 |
chem|st | alterego: much better | 17:40 |

jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: yeah, but you have couple factors | 17:46 |

crashanddie | chem|st, actually, I did a simulation for the company with random people in the street about how much they'd spend on random apps. I was pretty sure that more people would pay 1euro * 30 for different apps rather than 25euros * 1 for 30 different apps, turns out I was wrong. It's about perceived value, not actual spending. The iTunes numbers reflect this. | 17:47 |
jacekowski | crashanddie: that's about right | 17:48 |

DocScrutinizer | hell, you can get your paypal account locked for no reason, and just piss off | 17:52 |
crashanddie | DocScrutinizer, for the regular company using paypal, their costs for paypal are roughly equivalent to those they have for using credit card whatever, so the final cost to consumer is really the same (you wouldn't see a price difference in the products if they're using one or the other) | 17:52 |

jacekowski | but if you buy something in a shop | 17:53 |
DocScrutinizer | I know most users have paypal | 17:53 |
alterego | Stick up some screenshots and feature list and ask people to vote on how much they'd pay for it ;) | 17:54 |
jacekowski | they don't pay anything for you using debit card | 17:54 |
crashanddie | jacekowski, erhm, no, it really depends on the country and card type | 17:54 |
jacekowski | but with credit cards they pay like 2-5% | 17:54 |
nidO | in the UK most merchants have a fixed fee for accepting a debit card payment | 17:54 |
crashanddie | jacekowski, in France, there's nearly only debit card, and most companies will rack up 8-12% of costs in card transactions | 17:54 |
nidO | and a % for a credit card | 17:54 |
jacekowski | crashanddie: here in uk companies get card terminal for free with business account | 17:55 |
crashanddie | yeah, but that's because in the UK, a cheque is nearly impossible to find | 17:55 |
jacekowski | not really | 17:55 |

nidO | have pin seen by 15 people | 17:58 |
jacekowski | find out that you are over limit | 17:58 |
MohammadAG | utter bullshit | 17:58 |
alterego | DocScrutinizer: I don't think Ovi allows activation schemes. | 17:58 |
jacekowski | nidO: so | 17:58 |
DocScrutinizer | yep | 17:58 |
jacekowski | nidO: not your problem | 17:58 |
alterego | And only 60% of sale goes to me :) | 17:58 |
jacekowski | nidO: when somebody uses your card with your pin then only bank looses | 17:58 |
MohammadAG | alterego, open your own store, make your own IMEI checking code, profit | 17:58 |
DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: HAHAHA | 17:59 |
jacekowski | nidO: because legally bank was not supposed to accept that transaction because it wasn't you doing it | 17:59 |
*** Bash1 has joined #maemo | 17:59 | |
alterego | MohammadAG: that's kind of where I'm heading at the moment ;) | 17:59 |
DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: HAHAHA | 17:59 |
jacekowski | and they are required by law to return it | 17:59 |
crashanddie | jacekowski, actually, if the bank can prove that you disclosed the PIN to a third party, you're responsible for the loss | 17:59 |
DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: maybe that's UK jusrisdiction | 17:59 |
jacekowski | only if you did it on purpose | 17:59 |
crashanddie | jacekowski, nope | 17:59 |
jacekowski | not here | 17:59 |
nidO | crashanddie having the pin seen without your knowledge isnt your problem though | 17:59 |
MohammadAG | alterego, I get 70% for giving you the idea | 18:00 |
jacekowski | they still have to return that money | 18:00 |
DocScrutinizer | nidO: sure, if you can *prove* it :-P | 18:00 |
jacekowski | and then they can take you to court for fraud | 18:00 |
jacekowski | but only after they returned everything | 18:00 |
DocScrutinizer | haha | 18:00 |
DocScrutinizer | not here | 18:00 |
crashanddie | jacekowski, I was a witness for CFS in a civil case against one of their customers, the customer lost. | 18:01 |
crashanddie | And that was in Manchester | 18:01 |
jacekowski | hmm, bad luck | 18:01 |
kerio | Completely Fair Scheduler? | 18:01 |
alterego | Heh | 18:01 |
jacekowski | but going back to pin being seen by lot of people | 18:02 |
jacekowski | what does it give you | 18:02 |
jacekowski | i mean | 18:02 |
jacekowski | if you see somebody elses pin | 18:02 |
jacekowski | you still need a card | 18:02 |
jacekowski | and there is loads of people there | 18:02 |
DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: some years ago customer was even in pinch when he was able to prove he wasn't in spain but in letland the time his card copy was abused in spain | 18:02 |
edheldil | that can be stolen or skimmed | 18:02 |
nidO | still, it defeats the entire purpose of pins existing | 18:02 |
crashanddie | you just need to copy the magnetic strip, copy it on a chipless card | 18:02 |
jacekowski | crashanddie: nope | 18:02 |
crashanddie | then you can use it in any cash point or sale point | 18:02 |
nidO | the whole point of replacing signiatures with pins was because a sig is easy to duplicate, but that still relied on having the card in the first place | 18:03 |
*** b-man` has quit IRC | 18:03 | |
jacekowski | crashanddie: if strip says that it's chip&pin card | 18:03 |
jacekowski | crashanddie: terminal will try to talk to chip and fail | 18:03 |
crashanddie | jacekowski, nope | 18:03 |
jacekowski | crashanddie: and will just reject card | 18:03 |
alterego | nidO: that and clerks barely check signature. | 18:03 |
DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: nope | 18:03 |
jacekowski | crashanddie: so why when i slide magnetic strip it request to insert chip | 18:03 |
alterego | I've regularly signed for stuff after getting my card back | 18:03 |
*** jpe has quit IRC | 18:03 | |
crashanddie | jacekowski, that's an EMV standard, go to italy, india, china, EMV isn't the most common standard | 18:03 |
DocScrutinizer | we had issues with chip here last new year: hot fix: scotch tape patch over chip | 18:03 |
crashanddie | jacekowski, they'll read the strip, ask for PIN, validate transaction | 18:04 |
jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: i tried that | 18:04 |
edheldil | alterego: they showed on TV here that you could get away with signing as different sex as well | 18:04 |
jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: all i got was an error | 18:04 |
nidO | UK merchants can still manually take payments from chip cards with a signiature though | 18:04 |
crashanddie | jacekowski, even the fecking expensive cash points in corner shops will let you get money from it | 18:04 |
jacekowski | crashanddie: do you know that pin is stored in magnetic strip? | 18:04 |
alterego | I did an awful signature the other day, because my hads were freezing :D | 18:05 |
*** timn has quit IRC | 18:05 | |
crashanddie | jacekowski, again, depends on the technology | 18:05 |
jacekowski | it's "encrypted" but algo is well known | 18:05 |
jacekowski | and there is only 10k possible options | 18:05 |
DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: again nope | 18:05 |
crashanddie | jacekowski, french visa/mastercard doesn't, there is no "one card" | 18:05 |
jacekowski | there is one standard for magnetic strip content | 18:05 |
jacekowski | otherwise it wouldn't work abroad | 18:05 |
crashanddie | right | 18:06 |
crashanddie | which is why some readers only understand mastercard, others only amex? | 18:06 |
DocScrutinizer | like there's one standard for XML | 18:06 |
*** ohwhyme has quit IRC | 18:06 | |
jacekowski | crashanddie: because of agreements between you and bank and card issuer | 18:06 |
jacekowski | it's like with roaming | 18:07 |
jacekowski | in country | 18:07 |
jacekowski | it's all gsm | 18:07 |
jacekowski | but you can only use your own carrier network | 18:07 |
jacekowski | not because of incompatibilities | 18:07 |
jacekowski | just because of business model | 18:07 |
crashanddie | well, that's authentication, not technology | 18:07 |
jacekowski | EMV | 18:08 |
nidO | bad analogy though, as gsm has different frequencies so relies on your phone having the right modem for the right frequencies of the area | 18:08 |
jacekowski | it stands for common format agreed between all card issuers | 18:08 |
nidO | or you might be somewhere douchebaggy that uses cdma instead of gsm | 18:08 |
crashanddie | jacekowski, nope | 18:08 |
crashanddie | jacekowski, france has CB (Carte Bleue), which is a heckuvalot older than EMV | 18:08 |
jacekowski | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_stripe_card#Financial_cards | 18:08 |
edheldil | nid0: but that different problem. With a gsm phone you won't have problems in most of the europe | 18:08 |
jacekowski | There are up to three tracks on magnetic cards used for financial transactions, known as tracks 1, 2, and 3. Track 3 is virtually unused by the major worldwide networks such as VISA, and often isn't even physically present on the card by virtue of a narrower magnetic stripe. Point-of-sale card readers almost always read track 1, or track 2, and sometimes both, in case one track is unreadable. | 18:09 |
jacekowski | Track 1 is written with code known as DEC SIXBIT plus odd parity. The information on track 1 on financial cards is contained in several formats: A, which is reserved for proprietary use of the card issuer, B, which is described below, C-M, which are reserved for use by ANSI Subcommittee X3B10 and N-Z, which are available for use by individual card issuers: | 18:09 |
jacekowski | all well known common formats | 18:09 |

crashanddie | germany has Geldkarte, or whatever the name is, DocScrutinizer ? Belgium has Bankcontact, and even further than that, EMV is just a standard, and itself has vastly different and even INCOMPATIBLE implementations | 18:11 |
crashanddie | jacekowski, for example, IIRC (and it's been a while, so this may have changed), but I remember having to hack through a smartcard's firmware because we had to do a demo at the US DoD, and we only had Visa cards that wouldn't work on the Amex readers (VSCC vs AEPS or something) | 18:11 |
crashanddie | Thank you wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMV#Application_selection <-- if the terminal is only aware of the amex application, it won't be able to query the right app ID from the card. | 18:13 |

DocScrutinizer | BCMM: some codec using DSP lock up and occupying the audio | 18:57 |
DocScrutinizer | maybe | 18:57 |
ShadowJK | BCMM, sounds unlikely. But, if it's a hw problem, nokia care is wiping your data/install anyways, so you might as well try reflash | 18:57 |

BCMM | also, you should be able to name desktops | 19:09 |
timeless_mbp | BCMM: naming desktops is um... painful | 19:09 |
timeless_mbp | it's unclear whether it's a particularly useful feature | 19:09 |
*** gorio_BRASIL is now known as gorioBR | 19:09 | |
BCMM | well, i use it on KDE | 19:09 |
timeless_mbp | ok, so um | 19:09 |
timeless_mbp | BCMM: the question is does the average person | 19:09 |
BCMM | of course, the concept of desktop is a bit different if windows belong to a desktop | 19:10 |
timeless_mbp | the followup questions are | 19:10 |
timeless_mbp | if we have to spend resources on supporting the feature | 19:10 |
timeless_mbp | how likely are we to screw it up | 19:10 |
BCMM | no, that's why the default names should be 1, 2, 3 and 4 | 19:10 |
timeless_mbp | and what else suffer | 19:10 |
timeless_mbp | s | 19:10 |
tugrik | no sigh of it from "apt-cache search x11vnc" bcmm, only if I go into EasyDebian... and then I *presume* installing it using apt-get from there will give me remote access to the EasyDebian LXDE rather than the N900 screen | 19:10 |

pupnik | New invention for germany: Not openstreetmap. Openairmap. Every participant runs a client that surveils the sky with a client that identifies moving objects. Based on camera orientation and location, a live map of the sky is created. | 19:15 |
pupnik | Invented by pupnik, today | 19:16 |
tugrik | ah, I'm got my distribution set to "fremantle-1.3" | 19:16 |
chem|st | pupnik: already available, live streams of air controll radio too | 19:17 |
DocScrutinizer | tugrik: that might be correct for a PR1.3 system | 19:17 |
pupnik | chem|st: not available at all | 19:18 |
pupnik | i'm talking about a decentralized network | 19:18 |
chem|st | pupnik: it is called radar... and you got lots of radar stations all over the place | 19:18 |
pupnik | please think. this is revolutionary. | 19:18 |
pupnik | nope | 19:18 |

*** FIQ has joined #maemo | 19:19 | |
pupnik | chem|st: the whole point of arpanet/internet was robustness from attack | 19:19 |

*** tilppis has joined #maemo | 19:29 | |
chem|st | pupnik: as example you compare the web-based planetarium with the current live view to find objects in the night-sky | 19:30 |
BCMM | also, a cheap IP camera won't show aircraft unless they're pretty low | 19:30 |
pupnik | a town running about 100 clients could identify position and vector of even low-flying cruise missiles | 19:31 |
chem|st | pupnik: I would not rely my air defense on that... | 19:31 |
chem|st | <- away | 19:32 |
BCMM | pupnik: a low-flying cruise missile would cross a cheap camera's field of view *between* frames | 19:32 |
alterego | Well, when screen locked, and streaming over TCP/IP and logging, columbus uses ~1% CPU | 19:33 |
BCMM | basically, i reckon cheap cameras have insufficient resolution for high things, and insufficient frame-rates for low things | 19:33 |
*** fredrin has quit IRC | 19:33 | |

*** fredrin_ has quit IRC | 19:34 | |
BCMM | that said, ntp is basically very good | 19:34 |

*** mece has joined #maemo | 19:35 | |

BCMM | that's about fast subsonic, right? | 19:35 |
pupnik | yes | 19:35 |
pupnik | but your point is valid | 19:35 |
pupnik | there is a resolution problem with the idea | 19:36 |

DocScrutinizer51 | trumee: key repeat works fine here. If you want 'faster' scrolling thenmchange -1 to e.g. -10 | 20:32 |
