remco_Hi everyone. I have a question. I'm afraid my touchscreen is broken. I really dont know why because one moment it worked and the other it started acting weird. No its not working anymore. My problem is that i flashed it to check if it was a software faillure, but it wasnt. Now i cant access my phone again because i get the 'welcome / time settings screen' which i cant skip. Does anyone know a solution to get acces to the commandline?01:20
remco_I'm already trying to access is for two days01:20
remco_touchscreen of my N90001:20
jacekowskiget new touchscreen01:21
jacekowskiit's like £2001:21
remco_Yes but i dont know if this is broken, so i want to check this by installing VNC or something to see if i can control it from my computer01:21
*** mlwane has quit IRC01:22
remco_I dont believe in hardware that just stops without external involvement01:22
remco_Phone is not that old01:22
*** mlwane has joined #maemo01:22
*** mlwane has quit IRC01:23
remco_Is there no switch to TTY or something to get 'behind' Maemo?01:24
jacekowskinot really01:24
jacekowskiyou can compile your own kernel01:24
jacekowskiand play with initrd01:25
remco_:-) HMmm, this costs more than buying a new touchscreen01:25
jacekowskiwhy?01:25
jacekowskicompiling your own kernel is free01:26
remco_Yes, but it costs time :)01:26
orlokremco_: configuring it costs time...01:27
orlokyou dont have to compile it by hand :)01:27
remco_Sometimes my screen responds a bit, it seems to need recalibration01:27
orlokremco_: and it has an xterm.. unless you wanted a serial console while booting?01:27
remco_So this is the strange thing. I think that if the touchscreen is broken, nothing will work at all01:27
orlokand ESD can kill hardware01:28
remco_Is there a way to access the serail console?01:28
remco_ESD?01:28

*** robink has joined #maemo02:00

cehtehask Treibholz :)02:27
*** timeless_xchat has quit IRC02:29

*** sandst1 has joined #maemo02:29
cehtehhow long do you want to store it? 20 years? :)02:29

SpeedEvillolcat: Discharge to 40%, put in a baggie in the fridge.02:30
SpeedEvilWill last at least a decade like that. Charge and discharge to 40% every couple of years02:30
lolcatThe whole device?02:31
cehtehthe battery02:31
lolcatI am afraid the internal battery will die02:31
cehtehnot the whole device02:31
cehtehinternal battery? .. it has none02:32
SpeedEvilIt does02:32
SpeedEvilHave an internal battery02:32
cehtehiirc its only a cap02:32
SpeedEvilIIRC it's a battery.02:32
SpeedEvilI' need to recheck the schems though.02:32
cehtehwhy does it hold the clock only a few minutes then?02:32
SpeedEvilcehteh: If you replace the SIM, you get the date setting dialog, even if the time is corrrect02:33
SpeedEvilAIUI02:33
cehtehbut without replacing sim .. just replacing battery and be slow with that resets the clock02:33
cehtehand a freezer wont be good for the display and the electrolyte caps02:34
DocScrutinizer51cehteh: because of that battery is crap and brolen after 6 months02:34
cehteherr fridge should work .. but be very careful about humidity02:34
cehtehDocScrutinizer: uh02:34
SpeedEvilI diddn't realise the discussion was on the whole device. Above was only for thebattery02:34
cehteh[01:25] <lolcat> If I was going to store a N900 for a longer period without using it, how should I do it?02:35
DocScrutinizer51ahhh thanks02:35
cehtehhow long do we expect the batteries available? .. prolly for some years or?02:35
SpeedEvilFor what?02:36
*** hurbu has quit IRC02:36
DocScrutinizer51at least 5 years02:36
SpeedEvilyeah02:36
SpeedEvilfor n900 easy02:36
cehtehi'd consider to store the device without battery (main battery) and buy a new one when reanimating the device02:36
cehtehwell he didnt saied how long he wants to store it02:36
lolcatI am concidering to buy 3 batteries02:36
lolcatUntill my other N900 dies02:36
SpeedEvilIIRC new phones are still being sold with teh n900 battery02:36
cehtehlolcat: liion batteries age even without using them .. only buy as much you need02:37
SpeedEvilOr discharge to 40% and put in the freezer.02:37
lolcatcehteh: I need a spare battery, and I have to buy three if I need one02:37
cehteh3 seems reasonable :)02:37
cehtehi should buy another one too02:37
lolcatThey would be a lot cheaper if I buy 1000 though...02:38
cehtehbut just dont plan to store then .. use them02:38
lolcatI will02:38
cehtehhaha you can give me 1 then :P02:38
lolcatI need a external charger for it though02:38

*** penguinbait has joined #maemo02:42
lolcatcehteh: Dual core arm, 512megs ram. It has the potentialto be awesome02:42
cehtehmore megapixels maybe ... maybe sleeker design .. but less geek gadgets like radio transmitter, ir transmitter ..02:42
lolcatYou think?02:42
cehtehyeah more cpu and ram02:43
cehtehyes i think02:43
lolcatIr transmitter I dont care about02:43
lolcatFM transmitter is cool02:43
cehtehlets see02:43
cehtehmaybe hdmi ..02:43
lofty306yep02:43
cehtehbiggier display02:43
lofty306full output02:43
lofty306hd02:44

orloklofty306: what will that do?02:47
Macerlolcat: what is the poing if you are stuck with an os that will never be updated?02:48

JartzaDrGrov: me too :)03:50
chxI am from Hungary and we were relatively close to Chernobyl :(03:50
DrGrovJartza: I was playing in the sandbox as a child and my father came and pick me up. The radiation reached the west coast easily03:50
luke-jrDocScrutinizer: maybe, but it certainly explains the explosion03:50
JartzaDrGrov: I live less than 1000km from chernobyl :)03:51
DrGrovJartza: DamN :(03:51
DocScrutinizeryeah, sure, except that you don't know why external bottles of pressurized H2 should explode related to some action going on inside PV03:51
Jartzaor around 1000km anyway... in finland :)03:51
chxJartza: ouch. You guys warned the free world what was going on -- but we didnt know :(03:52
Jartzachx: yeah. the burning graphite did spread all the radiating goo all around03:52
DrGrovJartza: Actually about in which part of FInland do you live?03:52

DrGrovchx: My missus is from Hungary as well and she also remembers that day clearly.03:53

Jartzathe chernobyl radiation can actually still be found from finland, for example from mushrooms03:53
JartzaDrGrov: southern finland, nummi-pusula. around 70km from helsinki.03:53
Jartzanorthwest from helsinki03:53
DrGrovJartza: Ok, I live in Vaasa. That is perhaps closer to Chernobyl or?03:53

DrGrovNo of course not but still we got a lot of that shit coming our way.03:55
*** sheepbat has left #maemo03:55
Jartzaactually finland noticed that the radiation levels were rising, but at first they thought it was a faulty meter :)03:56
DocScrutinizerdoc|home: if that's actually fuckishima then that's seawater evaporated at a partial core meltdown03:56
Jartzaof course the russians didn't tell anything03:56
doc|homeDocScrutinizer: that's what I thought, but is that especially bad or just expected?03:57
doc|homeobviously a continuing core meltdown is bad, but is this acceptable?03:57
DocScrutinizerit's both03:57
Jartzaunfortunately they still use chernobyl-type reactors in russia03:57
chxJartza: there's worse, there's one in Bulgaria, what it is called, i always forget, if they still did not show that one down, it can be the doom of the world03:58
JartzaBCMM: ok, I had to check the finnish radioactivity authority. it's cesium-137 that's still found from the mushrooms and berries03:59
DocScrutinizerthis steam will carry all the decay isotopes with it, and deploy them all across the globe, or at least to where the wind blows in 1000 or 3000 or 30,000ft altitude03:59
chxoh good, Kozloduy was taken offline in 2004. phew.03:59
doc|homeDocScrutinizer: what's the half-life of those?03:59
nox-the problem reactors were supposed to be taken down 10 yrs ago too...04:00
DocScrutinizerand of course in seawater there's also lots of Iodine etc that gets charged up with radiation while passing thru the core04:00
Jartzachx: well, in russia there is still 16 of those graphite-reactors on full run :(04:00
Jartzaok, prime minister will give a special message to japanese people04:00
doc|homeDocScrutinizer: from what I've been reading it's pretty short in released steam. No info about the current status04:00
chxJartza: yes i know but Kozloduy was big enough for a China Syndrome thrice over :/ good that shit has been stopped.04:00
nox-live news conf on nhk world04:01

Jartzayes, have to check this NHK out now04:01
doc|homeget to the point ...04:02
DocScrutinizerdoc|home: halflife of H and O probably is irrelevant, but it carries all the Cs137 and Iodine and whatnot decay products fro then broken fuel rods, plus the minerals of seawater that get charged up in core radiation04:02

javispedrowake me up when a meteor crashes on it ;)04:44
*** spiritd has quit IRC04:44
DocScrutinizerface it: the core meltdown is under way on several of those blocks, and things won't get better, only much much worse. A pity and I'm not happy about that, but also I'm not in panic, it's just the bitter truth04:45
Jartzayeah, they talked about 400 millisieverts already04:45
mtnbkrDocScrutinizer: agreed04:46
Jartzabut it's a pity they use microsieverts and millisieverts04:46
javispedroso what04:46
javispedroa core meltdown means the reactor is ruined, something one could already guess when they pumped in water into it (which tends to, well, ruin it)04:46
javispedroso I guess they're now debating wheter they will be able to dismantle it the normal way, or the fugly way.04:47
Jartzawhat I understood is that it's better to stop pumping the water in when it's melting?04:47
javispedronormal way as in "dangerously but normal fuel cycle", fugly way as in "bury everything, wait a few hundred years, unbury"04:48
DocScrutinizerjavispedro: I guess htey are now discussing how to evacuate Tokyo04:48
javispedroyes, they're surely going to expand a 20km evacuation area into 300km04:49
DocScrutinizerwhich obviously isn't an option04:49
*** Rarok has quit IRC04:49
DocScrutinizernah, they expanded it to 30 for now04:49
DocScrutinizerbut for mere feasibility reasons, more doesn't make sense as it's not doable04:50
Jartzaevacuation area is 20km, for 20-30km they asked people to stay inside, close air conditioning and windows04:50
DocScrutinizeryes04:50
Jartzamaybe it's time to start pumping the lead in the reactor :)04:50
DocScrutinizernot much of a difference though04:50
javispedroand I guess that's where the "this evacuation it's a friggin nuisance" vs "this evacuation is a nice gesture" line is.04:50
Jartzaor "this evacuation is just impossible"04:51
Jartza"let's just be polite" :)04:51
DocScrutinizerexactly Jartza04:51
DocScrutinizertheir last option failed. The prognostics of several *experts* about how such an event happens on such a type of reactor are just in time. It's about time for the real core meltdown, after the hydrogen explosions happened04:53
DocScrutinizernow that last one was a bit over the top04:54
DocScrutinizerbut actually, I can't see why everybody here is talking down the event while even tenco and gvmt are admitting it got as bad as it could04:55
javispedrobecause "it gets as bad as it can" is a complete nonstory04:55
DocScrutinizerthat's my words to quote their statements04:55
DocScrutinizerwell, meh04:56
javispedrowell, they were too quick to say "as bad as it could" then.04:56
javispedrobecause I can think of a few ways it could get way worse... and still be a nonstory...04:56
DocScrutinizerif you're not interested in truth but rather want to deny. I don't feel urged to report here04:56
JartzaI don't think I've denied the meltdown at any point :)04:57
Jartzaactually I already thought two days ago that most propably they'll get a meltdown as too many systems fucked up04:58
Jartzayou just can't cool down nuclear reactor with firetrucks04:58
Jartzaor maybe you can ONE, but not multiple at the same time04:58

rm_workJaffa: rewatching the demo video, it appears they are actually running applications and doing stuff in them...17:36
ccookelolcat: I don't think it's currently a consumer product - nor is there an indication they're going to release it as one17:36
lolcatI asked if I could try or buy it17:36
lolcatccooke: That is pure evilness17:37
rm_workthough the demo of googlemaps cuts off really quickly so i wonder if it wasn't working well17:37
ccookeAll they've talked about is licensing it for individual apps17:37
rm_workyeah, it is sad, they are developing it on n900, and then saying "sorry, we won't release this for n900 ever" >_>17:37
rm_workwhich is ridiculous17:37
lolcatYeah, they could release a limited version for the N900 only17:38
ccookerm_work: I suspect it's just ugly to use.17:38
rm_worki'm imagining some doctors come up with a cure for cancer, and then say "sorry, but this isn't for use by anyone, we're just going to show you it works and then put it in a vault"17:38
lolcatSo we could have it17:38
ccookethat is, individual apps work fine, but running the market and using that to install apps is probably badly broken17:38
rm_workdo you think people wouldn't storm the gates with pitchforks then? >_>17:38
lolcatccooke: Who needs the marked? We could make our own marked...17:38
rm_workit's a ridiculous analogy but i think it illustrates the point17:38
ccookerm_work: there's quite a difference, though. Nobody is going to die for lack of android apps on the n90017:39
rm_worki'd be 100% happier with n900 just from running the real google-maps app17:39
lolcatrm_work: We should threathen to make a free open-source version17:39
ccookerm_work: not really. They have no duty or moral imperative to release their software.17:39

lolcatI want Spotify offline on my N90017:40
ccookeI mean, I'm *dissapointed*, but I don't see how we'd have any right to hate them over it17:40

thebootrooi not sure, i'll surely provide my own installer script cause the built int App manager is a crap and fappman is just better but not as i want18:13

* lcuk notes that an app mall will be better principle :)18:16
thebootrooits just an very simple and beautiful app to install/remove/update the apps i provide on my ftp18:17
Jaffathebootroo: If you're starting your own "app store" project, you should engage other devs sooner rather than later, so it's not viewed a) with suspicion and b) as an installer for your own apps only18:18
thebootrooin the first time it WILL be a store for my apps only18:18
lcukthebootroo, note, MeeGo DeveloperEdition has no custom user front end for installing apps18:18
Jaffathebootroo: <devil's-advocate>Meaning it (and they) doesn't go through any of the QA of Extras; don't get the publicity and discoverability of maemo.org/downloads/ or HAM; disappear when you do; ...</devil's-advocate>18:18
thebootrooand next i'll add a custom repos functions18:19
thebootrooyou know, in the very poor HAM, the apps will be flooded in the mass so not better18:19
thebootroousers really need a better App Sotre18:20
thebootroo*store18:20
thebootroobut as i dont use the same schema as HAM i cant support all pakages out-of-the-box18:20
thebootrooi'm not in the optic of a geek who customize his phone an brick it every week, but a standard user that want simpler apps for daily usage18:22
thebootroocause BTW a power user knows apt-get and dpkg so he can install manually apps (as i do personnaly, i prefer using Xterm + apt to upgrade instead of HAM or fapman18:23

DocScrutinizerhttp://mg.pov.lt/maemo-irclog/%23maemo.2011-03-12.log.html#t2011-03-12T06:57:06  ((DocScrutinizer: duh, now 5 coremelts pending))  Shit, I hate to say it, but seems they now accepted maybe ALL 6 blocks at FUKU-I do whatever an unattended unmaintained reactor likes to do. I.E now 6 pending22:05
*** kama has joined #maemo22:06
DocScrutinizermaybe #5 and #6 are so much chilled down (cold shutdown) so they remain stable even without any maintenance/cooling22:07
DocScrutinizerbut that's all but clear right now22:07
anidelfor some reason if I put my device on a flat surface, the MCE reports it a in "portrait" mode (albeit no "rotate" signal has been emitted via DBUS ) :(22:08
DocScrutinizercoremelts on #1..#3 are a safe bet now however22:08
anidelanyone knows a workaround?22:08
*** penguinbait has joined #maemo22:08
chxwow the accident got upgraded to SIX?22:09
DocScrutinizeranidel: strange. Try removing battery for some seconds. Sometimes LIS302 accelerometer chip gets decalibrated22:09
anidelno it doesn't happen to me only...22:10
DocScrutinizeranidel: oh, sorry then. No idea22:10
anidelthanks anyway :)22:10
GeneralAntillesanidel: thanks to the camera hump?22:10
anidelmmm22:11
anidellet's see22:11
DocScrutinizerGeneralAntilles: that'd be really bad22:11
anidelno, and that only happens when I put the device in portrait mode (so Xournal rotates to Portrait) and then put it flat..22:12
DocScrutinizerthere should be a dead zone that doesn't trigger orientation changes until screen surface at least at 45° from flat22:12
anidelat that point, if I read the orientation, it returns "portrait"22:12
*** Flipi|BNC is now known as Flipi22:12
DocScrutinizeranidel: so that's absolutely OK22:12
DocScrutinizerit technically is22:12
anidelbut no signal has been sent.. so the UI is portrait, but the item I'm going to show after the reading is the landscape one (a toolbar)22:12
anidelsorry.. I was wrong.. it reports "landscape"22:13
anidelone workaround I have is to store the orientation when the DBUS signal arrives...and don't read it from the MCE anymore22:14
anidelbut.. it's a workaround :P)22:14
DocScrutinizerhmm, sounds like you're comparing the actually real physical orientation of device as reported by some sensor, to the X orientation that stays in portrait when you turn the device flat from physical upright portrait22:15
*** piggz has quit IRC22:15
DocScrutinizerapps mustn't read out sensor to get orientation, the must use the means that are provided via X or whatever22:16
anidelI'm asking the MCE for MCE_DEVICE_ORIENTATION_GET22:16
*** kthomas has joined #maemo22:16
*** dangergrrl has joined #maemo22:16
DocScrutinizeras long as it's about display orientation22:16
anidelif the UI is in portrait, it should return the same22:16
anidelthat is true, but that is what the official Maemo Documentation told us developers.. Conboy and others do the same..22:17
*** kthomas_vh_ has quit IRC22:17
*** Smily has joined #maemo22:17
anidelConboy stores the orientation and relies on that.. I do read the MCE after the DBUS signal has been sent, it should have been the same.. either is a bug or something else22:17
DocScrutinizerMCE_DEVICE_ORIENTATION_GET sounds like PHYSICAL device orientation, which obviously isn't always identical to screen or display rotation/orientation22:17
DocScrutinizerit's a bug in how you use, and interpret the semantics of, some signals22:18
anideltrue in most case, but it DOES know that the devices is flat on the ground.. so it shouldn't report "landscape" when it doesn't know it22:19
anidelactually.. hang on22:19
DocScrutinizeractually it should report FALT22:19
DocScrutinizerFLAT22:19
*** millenomi has joined #maemo22:20
DocScrutinizerwhich basically is neither LANDSCAPE nor PORTRAIT22:20
anidelah! it may be my bug after all! I'm comparing what it returns against "portrait"... and I am assuming (as it is different) than that it is in landscape!22:20
*** jrocha has joined #maemo22:20
anidelI'll check what is actually returning...22:20
DocScrutinizerbut as mentioned above, that's absolutely deprecated for deciding which display orientation to use22:20

*** MadViking has quit IRC22:20
anidelwell it is not.. if in that case it reports like "unknown" that it is fine...22:21
*** MadViking has joined #maemo22:21
DocScrutinizerbut please pretty please ask MohammadAG about which X flag to query about orientation, instead of talking to MCE22:21
anidelit's just me that I was only dealing with "portrait"/"landscape" ignoring it knows also "flat" or "face down"22:21
*** dangergrrl has quit IRC22:22
anidelas you said.. it should report FLAT or FACE UP or similar.. as said, it's my error in assuming that != "portrait" then is "landscape".. not MCE's fault.22:22
*** ArGGu^^ has quit IRC22:22
pupnikmy speakers are VMPS RM/222:23
DocScrutinizerit's your error to talk to MCE at all, rather than ask X orientation of display, which might get locked to portrait even when device is objectively in a landscape position, and vice versa22:23
*** piggz has joined #maemo22:23

DocScrutinizerwe're happy to include your app to the list of broken apps that mustn't get switched to portrait by standard means as they want to mess around with it by themselves. We got a few of those already. All of those also don't benefit from orientation lock implemented in newest CSSU22:40

rm_workwell, the other problem being that it's expensive to paint properly >_>23:06

rm_workGeneralAntilles: lol @ paddles23:07
GeneralAntillesSeriously.23:07
GeneralAntillesIf there's no clutch pedal, then GTFO.23:08
rm_workthe paddles are fairly lulz, but it's going to be for commuting, honestly I would have been ok with just straight auto :P23:08
rm_workbut it's the best of both because it's a manual that shifts super-fast and super-accurately23:08
rm_workyay for TC-SST23:09
rm_workand has auto mode for when i'm trying to drive in stop-and-go traffic while eating a sandwich :P23:10

GeneralAntillesIt's not the best of both.23:14
GeneralAntillesIt's the worst.23:14
GeneralAntillesYou don't get nearly the control you would with a clutch.23:14
GeneralAntillesNor the fun.23:14
rm_worklol23:14
GeneralAntillesEvoX is what I would go for. :P23:14
GeneralAntillesEven Top Gear loved that car.23:14
rm_worknearly the control? how about, i tell it to be a manual and i tell it when to shift? is that not control? lol23:14
rm_workyeah, i saw that vs the STI23:14
*** luke-jr_ is now known as luke-jr23:14
GeneralAntillesNo clutch, no real control.23:14
rm_workerm23:14
rm_workit's not a slushbox BTW23:15
rm_workit does have a clutch, just no clutch pedal23:15
GeneralAntillesYes, I know what a double-clutch system is.23:15
GeneralAntillesBut if robots are controlling it instead of your left foot, well. :)23:15
rm_worklol23:15
rm_workthen... it's better? faster? more accurate? :P23:15
GeneralAntillesLess fun, more pedestrian.23:15
rm_workin what way a robot is worse than a human at simple mechnanical tasks, i have yet to see23:16
rm_worklol23:16
rm_workhow is that less control23:16
rm_workyou're just unhappy cause you can't do the cool shify motion with your foot :P23:16
GeneralAntillesA robot clutch is basically either off or on.23:16
GeneralAntillesYou don't get any of the degrees in between.23:16
RST38hMy left foot has better things to do than controlling the damn clutch.23:17
RST38hSo, automatic transmission it is.23:17
GeneralAntillesMine doesn't.23:17

Corsacwait, no, don't answer that23:19
RST38hCorsac: it's classified.23:19
rm_workeating a sandwich while shifting is... difficult, and can lead to calamitous loss of sandwich23:19
GeneralAntillesRST38h: ugh.23:19
GeneralAntillesMy commute is never interrupted by much traffic.23:20
RST38hlucky...23:20
GeneralAntillesrm_work: that's one reason I don't eat in the car.23:20
rm_worki spend most of my time sitting at lights or in stop-go on the freeway23:20
GeneralAntillesRST38h: yes, I don't live in hell. ;)23:20
GeneralAntillesSame @rm_work. :P23:20

*** marciom has joined #maemo23:21
GeneralAntillesrm_work: nah, I eat those from the comfort of a real chair and table after my 4-7 minute commute. ;)23:21
rm_workGeneralAntilles: T_T23:21
rm_workGuySoft: I assume you could bind the gps device23:21
rm_workthe same way you bind /proc and /sys usually23:22
ArkenoiNo latest Angry Birds level packs for us anymore?23:22

rm_worknot too much more expensive, but I actually prefer the SST23:24
javispedroGuySoft: which maemo version?23:24
rm_workjavispedro: if it has a node in /dev he can just bind it into the chroot, no?23:24
javispedroif it's n810, then gpsd (stock) might provide a port which outputs plain nmea, but I don't remember which one :D23:24
javispedromostly, not on any maemo version so far.23:25
javispedrodiablo/n810: not because the dev node emits an unknown format,23:25
javispedrofremantle/n900: not because there's no dev node at all, just some socket.23:25
rm_workah, blegh23:25
rm_worksocket to filepipe -> bind? :P23:26
