pupnik"The most commonly accepted value for the risk is that the increased risk of cancer is 4 percent per Sievert."00:45
pupnikpoor workers00:45
DocScrutinizererrwut?00:45
DocScrutinizerok, so just try to get to 16%, this will stop all cancer rather short term00:46
pupniklol00:47
DocScrutinizermake that 20% if you're not SM00:47
pupnikyes radiation above a certain level will also kill the cancer cells :)00:47
DocScrutinizer5Sv considered immediately lethal (few hours)00:47

nidO1 micron and 5mm are a long way apart though, and houses generally do want far better than 5mm precision.01:08
SpeedEvilIt depends.01:08
SpeedEvilThey really don't in many cases.01:09
nidOI for one would be thoroughly pissed if any of the woodwork in my place was out of line by half a cm01:09
SpeedEvilFor example, timber will move around 1% of its length.01:09

pupnikcould build a field of 100 such telescopes with 2 years of the cost01:34
*** Solarion has quit IRC01:35
pupnikbtw why can't we build big fields of small telescopes?01:35
SpeedEvilpupnik: Inteferometers are hard.01:36
SpeedEvilAnd the sparse array fallacy (orr something like that) means that a sparsely filled apature is not equivalent to a filled apature.01:37
pupnikthat's enough of an answer for me, thanks01:37
SpeedEvilYou have to do the combination by optical means - you can't do it with electronics.01:37
SpeedEvilThis makes it really hard.01:37
*** GNUtoo|laptop has joined #maemo01:38
pupnikyeah longer wavelengths are more doable, right?01:38
SpeedEvilpupnik: In brief - if you take a bit of foil, and poke several holes in it with a needle, and look through it, you can see better than one needle-hole, but it's very different from a clear apature.01:39

SpeedEvilthe above is actually pointful if you want enncrypted voice that can't be snooped.01:50
Proteoushow is the key exchange done?01:50
SpeedEvilI found it also fun the recent work that you can - with variab le rate codecs - fingerprint what's being said though it's tunneled.01:50
SpeedEvilProteous: Inmany ways that's irrelevant - diffle-heimen.01:51
SpeedEvilOr however it's spelled.01:51

DocScrutinizerSpeedEvil: what are they doing? custom GSM-codec, or specially designed vocoder to transmit 2400bd as "speech"?02:14
SpeedEvilthe latter02:14
SpeedEvilI haven't watched it properly yet eitehr.02:14
DocScrutinizeror do they simply ship around the bandwidth problem by avoiding realtime?02:14
SpeedEvilIt's realtime I think - I need to watch it though02:15

*** rblank has quit IRC02:25
DocScrutinizera vocoder squeezing 2400 thru a GSM-codec that's by itself working at 9600 is a quite nifty piece of software though02:25
ShadowJKi guess if you optimize it for one speaker speaking one language.. :)02:25
SpeedEvilIf you could do reliable speaker-independant voice recongnition, that would make it awesome.02:26
DocScrutinizernah, iLBC should work with 240002:26
derfIt'll sound terrible, though.02:26
derfYou want something like AMBE or codec2.02:26
SpeedEvilSometimes you don't really care if it sounds terrible.02:27
SpeedEvilJust that the NSA/... can't read it.02:27
derfWell, AMBE/codec2 aren't going to sound beautiful.02:27
derfBut they'll sound a gekk of a lot better than iLBC.02:27
*** zap has quit IRC02:32
*** ShadSEC has quit IRC02:35
DocScrutinizeryeah, there's a new better codec every other week02:40
DocScrutinizerthe 2400 figure is straight from my a... though. I have nfi how difficult it is to tailor a vocoder to exploit maximum possible bandwidth of the GSM voice->data coding process, how much redundancy you need to cope with errors on the medium, like companders, echo cancellation, klick and hum, and whatnot else02:43

cehtehluckily in my self-build cover .. no scratch, no dent :)03:05
TiagoTiagoI was writting this long elaborated post on a forum with microB, then the "battery low" banner popped so i pulled the charger cable and plugged it in, it said charging so i went back to writting, next thing i know another banner pops saying "recharge the battery" and the fucking thing shuts down03:05
SpeedEvilTiagoTiago: :/03:06
SpeedEvilForums--03:06
cehtehhehe i have a cheap alternative charger .. it should provide 800ma .. but i doubt that sometimes when listening to music the battery drains03:07
cehteh(on USB it still charges)03:07
TiagoTiagois there an extension for microB like Lazarus for Firefox that keeps fresh  backups of unsent webform contents?03:08
TiagoTiagoI'm using the wallcharger that came with it03:08
cehtehi use that at home .. but in my workshop i use the other one03:09
TiagoTiagoI'm using the wallcharger that came with it03:09
DocScrutinizercehteh: D+- short missing03:10
cehtehDocScrutinizer: its explicitly rated for the n900 .. well i may figure that out03:10
DocScrutinizermeh03:11
TiagoTiagoIs there a way to read the current properties of the juice coming from the charger while plugged?03:11
cehtehbut without d+- shortened and without power acknowleding it shouldnt charge at all .. or at least at very low rate03:11
DocScrutinizerrated for... and certified I assume, by "our world leading expert"03:11
cehtehwell without d shortened how much power will it draw? by usb spec it cant draw more than 30mA or so (everything more has to be acknowledged with the host .. up to 500ma)03:12
TiagoTiagoLike that stereo bt headset from Nokia that is sweatproof but fries after just a couple of laps 'round the block?03:12
DocScrutinizercat `find /sys -name charger`03:12
*** javispedro has quit IRC03:13
DocScrutinizerof course you might have picked a fubar charger that has a foldback OC-prot which switches off the output on overload until you remove the load03:14

cehteh  battery.reporting.last_full = 880  (0x370)  (int)03:17
cehtehmhm need a new battery anyways03:17
DocScrutinizercharge current is from bq27200.sh, but that's not equal to USB current03:17
DocScrutinizercehteh: forget hal, it tells the lies bme has spread03:17
cehtehwell the battery doesnt feel healthy anyways...03:18
cehtehits sometimes empty after a few hours of moderate or now use of the device03:18

DocScrutinizerTHE ANSWER03:25
DocScrutinizeralso most clients won't display it03:26
DocScrutinizerodds are it went completely unnoticed, others might just see03:27
DocScrutinizer4203:27
TiagoTiagook, notes, good idea03:29
TiagoTiagowhat about reading the current properties of the chager juice? Where do i find that battery.reporting.current thing?03:30
DocScrutinizerplease rephrase03:31
TiagoTiagoah, nvm, lshal | grep battery03:32
DocScrutinizeroh, you're interested in lies and BS?03:32
cehteh <DocScrutinizer> the answer to all this is bq27200.sh03:33
cehteh:P03:33
DocScrutinizercehteh: and, isn't it the truth?03:33
cehtehdunno if its the truth but looks better03:33
cehtehwhile some 'legend' about the abbrevitations or some -h flag for human readable might be useful03:34
cehteh(maybe i shall look at that script)03:34
cehtehuhm .. since 2.6.38 my terminals under x behave strangely .. both xterm and rxvt03:35
TiagoTiagoWait, is that the  status of the battery or the properties of the juice flowing thru the usb port?03:35
cehtehmhm maybe its my windowmanager03:36
DocScrutinizerinteresing are TimeToFull(min), TimeToEmpty(min), RSOC/CSOC=%charge, NAC=capacity(mAh), CACD,CACT=corrected values of NAC, for current/temperature03:38
DocScrutinizerespecially important: CI:0 (Calculation Invalid)03:40
TiagoTiagowhat should those read if the charger juice is flowing as it should?03:40
DocScrutinizerwhich those?03:41
TiagoTiagothe values bq and/or reports that are relevant to juice health03:41
DocScrutinizersorry, doesn't parse03:42
TiagoTiagoI asked how to read the current properties of the juice comming in thru the USB port and you suggested lshal and  that bq script03:43
DocScrutinizerI did not03:43
TiagoTiagoI'm confused03:43
DocScrutinizerthere is no way to measure the current drawn from USB03:44
*** trbs has quit IRC03:44
DocScrutinizerdirectly03:44
TiagoTiagoHow does it know when there is not enough juice coming in like when doing heavy stuff  while plugged to a PC?03:45
DocScrutinizeryou can measure the current flowing to/from battery, with `bq27200.sh 5` and compare the mA reading for USB plugged/unplugged. They will roughly differ the size of current fed to system from USB03:45
*** frals has quit IRC03:46
*** frals has joined #maemo03:46
DocScrutinizernot enough current (my jiuce is in the fridge!) == batery current is discharging battery, not charging it03:46
SpeedEvilOh.03:48
TiagoTiagoSo it can tell the amount of current flowing to/from the battery and which way it is flowing?03:48
SpeedEvilOne random point on 'my USB is broken'03:48
SpeedEvilRandom objects can get into your USB port03:48
DocScrutinizerTiagoTiago: yes, that's what bq27200(.sh) is for03:48
SpeedEvilThe otehr day I picked a sliver of wood out, which was preventing the plug seating properly.03:49
*** ferdna has joined #maemo03:49
DocScrutinizerhehe, known issue03:49
TiagoTiagoJust current or voltage too?03:49
DocScrutinizerTiagoTiago: just look at it?03:49
TiagoTiagok03:49
TiagoTiagothe voltage value doesn't go negative, what gives?03:51
DocScrutinizeror study this: http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Joerg_rw/jrbme/bme_chargefloat_log03:51
DocScrutinizerTiagoTiago: your sentences always decode like googletranslates of chinese03:51
TiagoTiagoreally?03:52
DocScrutinizerwell, not actually, you at least use correct punctuation marks like ? after what03:53
TiagoTiagoThere is a mV in that loop mode report, but unlike the mA its value doesn't go negative when i pull the charger plug out03:53
DocScrutinizerwell, that's the voltage of battery. Do you really expect it to reverse polarity?03:54
TiagoTiagoWhat is the explanation for that?03:54
TiagoTiagoi thought it was of the flow between the device and battery03:54
SpeedEvilNo. mV is the battery voltage03:55
DocScrutinizervoltage of the flow??03:55
SpeedEvilIt's always positive.03:55
DocScrutinizerflow is Ampere, it has no voltage03:55
* SpeedEvil drops Mr Ampere on TiagoTiago03:55
TiagoTiagoI thought that when electricity went the opposite way the numbers would be negated03:56
DocScrutinizerI made up my mind, it sounds japanese. "we stopped pump fill sea water on PV. Why pressure in PV it is positive?"03:57
*** Pavel has joined #maemo03:58
TiagoTiagoWatts = Volts * Amps , Watts stay positive regardless of the direction of the flow,  so Amps and Volts need to always have the same sign03:58
DocScrutinizerBS03:58
TiagoTiagoAre you saying people do use negative watts when talking about electricity?03:59
DocScrutinizersure03:59

DocScrutinizera water power plant delivers 5MW with water coming down from upper pond. To pump water back up during nighttime you of course can speak of negative Watts that the power plant's trubines EAT instead of delivering it04:01
DocScrutinizerpretty identical situation on battery charging or depleting04:02
TiagoTiagoWhat is the difference between 3V  -10mA and -3V 10mA ?04:03
DocScrutinizerhonestly, this is so silly I'm not sure if it's really nifty trolling04:03
villagerTiagoTiago: one difference would be reversed polarity => fried device?04:04
TiagoTiagoNo, i'm really trying to understand how things really work since i my previious understanding  is being contradicted04:04
TiagoTiagoHow are those two things not the same thing?04:05
TiagoTiagoI always thought Watts was an absolute value, a scalar, but now you're saying it can be negative...04:06
villagervoltage and current aren't the same thing, for starters04:06
villagerwatts is measured in a particular direction, just like current... if the energy flows in the opposite direction, it becomes negative04:08
DocScrutinizerwhile Voltage is like pressure (of a tank e.g), current is the flow of some medium (e.g. in / out of a pipe to that tank)04:08
TiagoTiagoAre you saying that if  someone wires one of those wall adapters that measure power consumption backwards it will read megative watts being consumed?04:08
*** lcuk2 has joined #maemo04:08
villagerTiagoTiago: in theory, it should.04:09
DocScrutinizerVoltage=force, current=volume/distance04:10
villagerof course the electronics may not be designed for that...04:10
DocScrutinizerVoltage=force, current=volume/distance per time unit04:10
villagerTiagoTiago: if you have a solar panel on your roof and pump electricity *into* the power grid instead of out, you get negative watt consumption and the power company pays you, if they allow that kind of thing04:11
TiagoTiagoVoltage is like pressure difference, Amperage is like  flowrate; how is it possible for it to flow backwards accross the pressure gradient?04:11
DocScrutinizerif you got a garden hose, the voltage is the pressure in PSI/ATM, and the current is the liters/s that are running thru it04:11

villagerTiagoTiago: I think you just need an even higher voltage from the charger, then the current will flow into the battery without changing the battery's voltage04:14
DocScrutinizervolzage is like pressure difference (I got 1024 mBar here, pressure difference between athmosphere and that vacuum part of the mercury glass tube), how comes there's still water flowing OUT of the tap?04:16

DocScrutinizersimple answer: pressure of water in the pipe is even higher than those 1024mBar04:17
TiagoTiagoOk, consider two water boxes connected by a hose at the bottom, if the two boxes are on the same level Voltage and Amperage are at zero, now if you raise box A, or manually put more water in it, or  activate a pump the hose is going thru so that it pumps water to box B,  Voltage and Amperage are positive ( we will keep using box A as reference), if you do it the other way around V and A would be negative; how the hell would make one be posit04:18
TiagoTiagoive but the other negative?04:18
*** vblazquez has quit IRC04:19
*** dashavoo has quit IRC04:19
*** dashavoo has joined #maemo04:19
DocScrutinizerboth boxes have positive Voltage/pressure, you easily can test when you drill a hole into bottom: water comes out with the pressure of that particular box04:19
TiagoTiagoNot relative to each other04:20
DocScrutinizerjust when you fill in water in one, then the pressure is higher than in the other, so there's a "voltage" across your tube04:20
villagerTiagoTiago: the battery voltage is the pressure difference between the top and bottom of *one* box, say B, not the pressure difference between box A and B... easy04:20
villagerTiagoTiago: then the voltage is always positive, regardless of current04:21
*** vblazquez has joined #maemo04:21
villagerTiagoTiago: then if you're discharging, box A is lower, if you're charging, box A is higher04:21
villagerthe battery voltage will depend on how much water is in box B, but not the direction of the flow04:22

DocScrutinizerreal world is rarely ideal (except with supraconductors)04:28
DocScrutinizerbut for a basic understanding of physics you better assume it was, first approach04:28
*** radic_ is now known as radic04:29
DocScrutinizerpretty much same way you assume the water pressure in your tapwater pipe is same before and after meter04:29
DocScrutinizerthe meter is counting the current. Well actually it integrates the current over time, and reads a volume spent04:31
DocScrutinizeryou can tell the current by watching how fast the dials spin04:31
DocScrutinizerthat's Ampere04:31
DocScrutinizerthe pressure might be high at nighttime, and rather low when every neighbour waters their lawn. But usually it doesn't become negative (as pressure of a battery never does)04:33
*** TiagoTiago has quit IRC04:33
DocScrutinizerstill you might decide to pump water *into* your tap, by using a pump that has higher pressure than that found inside the pipe04:34
*** wmarone_ has quit IRC04:34
DocScrutinizer(beware, your neighbours probably will call homeland security!)04:35
DocScrutinizertough, if you got a wate tank on top of your roof, you for sure will pump water up (charge), and also water will come down again and flow out your tap (discharge). The pressure is the voltage, the liters/min is the current (Ampere)04:39
villagerlooks like he got disconnected again04:40
*** TiagoTiago has joined #maemo04:40
TiagoTiagosorry, the system locked up, lemme check the log to catch up04:40
DocScrutinizermeh, too bad. Was about to elaborate about Spain where everybody got such a watertank on their roof, as central water supply is shaky. And "not enough power to charge" means the water flowing into N900 via USB is not as much as that you draw from the tap in the AV-receptacke... errr04:42
DocScrutinizers/draw/draft/?04:43
TiagoTiagoSo the voltage is the voltage of one thing, while the current is the current of somthing else?04:43
DocScrutinizerbasically yes04:44
TiagoTiagoWhy do they do it like that?04:44
DocScrutinizerbecause there's no other meaningful way to do it04:45
villagerTiagoTiago: it's not physically possible to measure voltage and current on exactly the same thing... as said, voltage and current is different04:45
TiagoTiagoSo it's like they put a pressure gage on the pipe but use a waterwheel under the faucet to measure current flow?04:46
villagervoltage is always between two points. current is not, it can be measured in a single point04:46
DocScrutinizerTiagoTiago: I STRICTLY DISCOURRAGE to try and probe the Ampere found in a wall mains outlet. You can probe the Volt though04:46
*** NishanthMenon has joined #maemo04:47
TiagoTiagoIt's like measuring windspeed instead of the motion of the air atoms and molecules?04:48
DocScrutinizerchecking Ampere of a mains outlet is like bucket-measuring how many liters of water are in your waterpipe04:48
DocScrutinizerdepending on diameter of pipe this will become a rather unpleasant experience04:49
villagerfzzt!04:50
DocScrutinizerlike villager said. Current is the number of electrons passing by at ONE point / second. While Voltage is the difference of electron pressure between TWO points04:50
TiagoTiagoUsually you would measure how much current is flowing without makeing the current flow,  like placing a waterwheel in a river instead of blasting open a riverbank04:50
villagerthe ideal amperemeter is basically a shortcircuit, so a real bad idea to try on your power outlet04:50
timeless_w7ipdoc: you probably wnted 'drew' (also available in other cases is 'drawn')04:51
TiagoTiagoI thought you could measure Amps with some circuit sitting between the source and the device consuming the electricity....04:51
DocScrutinizeryes, you can04:52
villagerTiagoTiago: yes, and ideally that device has no resistance (which is why I said shortcircuit)04:52
timeless_w7ips/wnted/wanted/04:52
infobottimeless_w7ip meant: doc: you probably wanted 'drew' (also available in other cases is 'drawn')04:52
TiagoTiagoand that is the same way you could measure the Volts "entering" the device's circuit04:52
DocScrutinizerbut that's because of the way this equipment works. You also can test the magnetic field around one point of a wire, and that'S a very convenient way to probe current04:52
villagerTiagoTiago: the ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance, *no* current passes through it04:53
DocScrutinizerlike no water flows out a PSI meter04:53
TiagoTiagobut if you already got your voltmeter there why not use the same input and output for measuring current flow?04:53
villageryou cannot mix the two without disrupting the circuit04:54
TiagoTiagoeven if the two are in parallel or being switched from one to the other and back very fast?04:54
DocScrutinizeryou can't plumb a water volume meter to the PSI-meter stub04:55
villagerand it would not be useful in any case, the current flowing through your voltmeter is not the current you want to measure, which is probably the current through the *rest* of the circuit04:56
DocScrutinizerexactly04:56
DocScrutinizerand you wouldn't want to cut the current to the rest of the circuit by inserting a virtually infinite resistance voltmeter at the point where your Amperemeter was04:57
TiagoTiagoLike my example with the pressure gage on the pipe, the pressure gage is a circuit with infinite (or really big) resistance between the pipe and the ground, then you add a little turbine thingy in the pipe between the faucet to measure current flow,  why can't somthing like that be done with the electricity comming fromthe battery?04:57
DocScrutinizerit is done like that, nevertheless logically the two things are unrelated04:58
DocScrutinizerand disjunkt04:59
*** mlwane has quit IRC05:00
TiagoTiagoIf the faucet lead to a sealed room, if the room was pressurized to the point of having more pressure than the pipes, both the current and the pressure measured values on the pipe would be negative.05:03
villagerTiagoTiago: so you have a pressure gauge to measure pressure and turbine in tap to measure flow, that's different things, what makes that different from how it's done for battery, where volt and amps is also different?05:03
TiagoTiagoNo, 'cause the values of the two always share the same sign05:04
villagerTiagoTiago: no, in the case of the pressurized room, the water pressure would be positive, and the flow would be negative05:04
TiagoTiagoBut with the battery no the N900, in the loop mode of that bq script, volts and amps don't always share the same sign05:04
*** chx_afk is now known as chx05:05

TiagoTiagoThere is no measure of the voltage difference between the battery and the device?05:09

DocScrutinizer(well, not really)05:09
DocScrutinizerit's supposed to be ~005:09
TiagoTiagoI just found it confusing that it reports volts and amps but not of the same thing, i was expecting it to provide values that could be used to calculate how many watts the device is sucking05:10
villageryou can05:10
* DocScrutinizer SIGHS05:10
TiagoTiagoYou can't calculate watts without knowing both the amps and the volts05:10
DocScrutinizergoing tru / and found across the device. You're not interested in the watts the copper trace is dissipating05:11
villageryou have both amps and volts... if you get negative watts, that means the device is charging the battery instead of draining it05:11

*** alextreme has quit IRC05:12
TiagoTiagoCurrent can't flow against the voltage05:12
DocScrutinizervoltage is between plus and minus, while current is either going into plus or coming out of minus05:13
villageras said, if you're charging, the charger has a higher voltage than the battery, so current will flow into the battery05:13

DocScrutinizerI give up05:14
TiagoTiagoI'm sorry, this thing with measuring things a different way but still saying it as if it was the same is confusing me05:15
villagercurrent can come from anywhere it is forced into the circuit, like from the power grid... doesn't have to come from the battery you're charging.05:17

timeless_w7ipconsider temperature05:17
timeless_w7iplet's have 3 rooms A .. B .. C05:17
timeless_w7ipIf I make the temperature in room C 50degrees05:17
timeless_w7ipand the temperature in the next room (B) 30degrees05:17
timeless_w7ipthen at some point there's going to be a transfer of heat from C to B05:18
timeless_w7ipit's going from a place with +++++ to a place with +++05:18
timeless_w7ipI could make A have a temperature of -10degrees05:18
timeless_w7ipbut it's still possible for things to go from +++++ to +++ instead of having to go to a place with -05:19
timeless_w7ipdoes that make any sense? :)05:19
*** Evanescence has quit IRC05:20
timeless_w7ipbtw, the use of + and - in electricity was actually arbitrary, it's now consistently used with + and - in a certain way05:20
timeless_w7ipbut it could have been the other way05:20
TiagoTiagoBut when we talk about volts we mean difference and not absolute values05:21
*** Evanescence has joined #maemo05:22
TiagoTiagoIt turns out it is backwards, actual electrons flow from negative to positive,  but they kept it  reversed for backwards compatibility05:22
DocScrutinizerTiagoTiago: I told you you can not measure device Watts by bq27200. It's a dedicated battery monitor hardware. It *only* shows _battery_ voltage (between + and - of battery) and battery current in/out. Device with all the consumers and charger is on the other end05:22
DocScrutinizerthe charger also can power the device consumers directly, then this part of current will not be seen by bq2720005:24
TiagoTiagoSo there is no direct way to measure watts consumption, we can onlyestimate it by watching the effects of that consumption?05:24
*** mikhas has quit IRC05:25
villageryes... if you remove the charger, then the two must be equal05:25
DocScrutinizeras told way above, you can plug and unplug charger. The difference in battery current is what the device actually consumes05:25
DocScrutinizererr, is what the charger supplies05:26
DocScrutinizercurrent*volt of battery == current*volt of device sans charger, so this is a pretty accurate reading05:26
*** alextreme has joined #maemo05:27

TiagoTiagoNot for me, current can't flow against the pressure difference05:34
villagerwatts is the flow of energy... so positive could mean energy is flowing out of the battery, and negative is energy is flowing into the battery from the charger05:34
DocScrutinizernegative watts do make as much sense as do negative voltages and currents05:35
TiagoTiagounless you're mixing apples and oranges05:35
DocScrutinizerTiagoTiago: you are mixing apples with oranges. We never said voltage is along the wire from battery to device05:36
DocScrutinizerwe actually always explained those two physical values are largely unrelated05:36
villagerhow many times do we have to tell you? the charger puts on a BIGGER pressure than the battery, therefore current flows "backwards" into the battery05:36
TiagoTiagoI've never heard it was possible for them to have opposite signs in the same length of wire05:37
TiagoTiagovolt is relative, not absolute05:37
villagerbut the measurement between the battery poles (as opposed to the voltage between battery and charger) will measure how much power is delivered to/from the battery05:37
DocScrutinizerI honestly have to leave now, to keep my mood up05:38
TiagoTiagoSorry05:38
*** otep has joined #maemo05:38

villager[04:36]<villager> how many times do we have to tell you? the charger puts on a BIGGER pressure than the battery, therefore current flows "backwards" into the battery05:39
villagerthe pressure difference forces the current that way, into the battery05:40
TiagoTiagoCurrent and Voltage can't have opposit signs unless you're measuring different circuits05:40
villagerlet's say you have a 5V battery, and the charger can deliver 10V, and the negative poles of both are both grounded. Then you have three levels: CHARGER+ = 10V, BATTERY+ = 5V, GROUND = 0V... since current always flows from a higher potential to a lower, this forces current towards the + pole of the battery05:41
villagerdisconnect the charger and put in a machine you want to run, and then the current will of course flow from the battery + pole to the battery - pole05:42

*** bugzy has joined #maemo05:49
TiagoTiagoif the one point isn't between the two points then you're not measuring the properties of the same thing, you can't use thos two values to calculate wattage, it's like the bodymass index with your dog's weight05:49
villagerTiagoTiago: there's a physical law that says that unless the circuit has branches, the current is always the same anywhere in the circuit, so you can measure the current anywhere you want05:51
villagerif the circuit has branches, the total current through each branch must add up to be equal to what it would have been if it was not05:52
TiagoTiagoWhat if the branches lead to or from outside the circuit?05:53
DocScrutinizerc'mon please stop that nonsense now. It's becoming silly or annoying or dunno what05:53
villagerif there's a current through those, then it must still add up05:54
villagerconservation of energy05:54
DocScrutinizervillager: don't run into that trap again. Voltage is measured between two points, but given there's no line between those two points (as a voltmeter is of infinite resistance) there's also no location "between" those two points. Current and voltage measurements are unrelated, and connecting them without referring to a particular background aka circuit makes no sense05:59
villagerDocScrutinizer: yes, but I feel such technicalities would not be helpful to talk about right now...05:59
DocScrutinizernothing has the faintest look like it'S helpful here06:00
villagerwell, perhaps I should be getting back to doing something useful anyway06:00
TiagoTiagoI do understand that if you ignore a part of the system the signs can diverge, but on a closed system the signs should always agree06:02

*** XenonXZ has joined #maemo14:59

lardmanthe N900 talks to a SUPL server somewhere, e.g. the Google one or the Nokia one, and tells it the cellid that it's connected to14:59
nealonly the cell id?14:59
lardmanyes, afaiu, I know that SUPL can do other things, but I don't think those are used here15:00
nealI thought you just said it downloads the ephemeris and almanac data.15:00
lardmanyes, but the ephemeris data are location dependant15:00
lardmanso the SUPL server needs to know what to generate/send to the device15:00
nealAnd that's what it is getting from the supl server?15:00
*** dneary has quit IRC15:00
lardmanyes15:00
lardmanthere are other things that SUPL can do afair, like taking parts of the recorded GPS signal and brute forcing a location from them, but I don't think that's necessary if you have a rough location provided by the cell tower15:01
lardmanand is also significantly more computationally expensive I'd guess15:02

*** sq-one has joined #maemo17:24
merlin1991well I tried all sorts of stuff and always get compile time errors, but the main point is, that I'm using this function http://doc.qt.nokia.com/stable/qglcontext.html#getProcAddress wich returns void* and I need to cast that so I can use the return as function pointer17:26
crashanddieand we're not going to be able to help you unless you give us some specific examples that will allow us to deduce what kind of cast you need17:26
*** Tsuyo has quit IRC17:27
*** felipec has joined #maemo17:27
merlin1991I need to cast that to pretty much any type of function pointer since depending on what string I feed it I get back another opengl function (yay for the awesome windows opengl system)17:29
lcukmerlin1991, what is the function prototype that the pointer should represent?17:29
merlin1991the very first one I need would be void (GLsizei n, GLuint *renderbuffers)17:30
crashanddiefor example, you could have glCreateProgram = (PFNGLCREATEPROGRAMPROC)cont->getProcAddress("glCreateProgram");17:30
crashanddiewhere cont is a QGLContext *17:30
*** bergie has quit IRC17:31
merlin1991yeah I found lots of examples like that, but sadly the glext header for windows is missing most of the typedefs like PFNGLCREATEPROGRAMPROC17:32

merlin1991:D17:32
merlin1991I'd love todo that :P17:33
merlin1991so I need to know I have to put in the ( ) to create for example the pointer to the function with the signature (GLsizei n, GLuint *renderbuffers)17:33

BCMMDocScrutinizer: why, what's it like?19:01
DocScrutinizerdunno, I guess you need a few old libs and cling to a few old /sys pathnames19:02
DocScrutinizercan't see any major subsystem getting binned on 2.6.3x19:02
BCMMDocScrutinizer: oh, i thought you were claiming experience and suggesting i wouldn't say such things if i knew what it was like or something19:02
DocScrutinizernah, I'm honestly suggesting you start such a project. Much appreciated19:03
BCMMyeah, it would be pretty cool. .33 has some patches that should improve responsiveness on almost any system under heavy load19:03
BCMMunfortunately i am nothing like a kernel hacker19:03
DocScrutinizeryou might want to ask the SHR dudes on #openmoko-cdevel about what they got so far19:03
BCMMDocScrutinizer: i don't really know what the barriers are - the kernel claims to be untainted, so i guess there aren't any binary drivers compiled against a specific version19:04
DocScrutinizeraiui they are experimenting with 2.6.36/7 (??) but not for N900 so far19:05
BCMMDocScrutinizer: is the only serious issue that there is closed userspace that expects sysfs stuff to be in specific locations?19:05
DocScrutinizeryes, I think so19:05
BCMMwhat i said 33 i didn't mean 3319:05
MohammadAGMeeGo uses .3719:06
MohammadAG(on the N900)19:06
BCMMDocScrutinizer: is there any chance of simply modifying the binaries to adjust the sysfs paths?19:06
timeless_xchatgrr, i can't install bluemaemo because of a conflict over libeina019:06
BCMMor are the new paths longer?19:06
BCMMyes, i know that would be a licensing can of worms19:06
DocScrutinizerBCMM: a nice idea, I'll ponder about it19:06
MohammadAGlonger is an understatement19:07
BCMMbut a binary patch could be applies on teh device19:07
BCMMah19:07
MohammadAGI wouldn't worry about bme or mce19:07
BCMMMohammadAG: the new sysfs paths are much longer?19:07
MohammadAGand more confusing, at least to me19:07
MohammadAGI felt lost in sysfs, unlike on 2.6.2819:08
BCMMi guess that would pretty much prohibit modifying string literals in the binaries?19:08
BCMMMohammadAG: so which important stuff moved?19:08

BCMMso either you're using vanilla suspend, which sucks, or you're using an experimental tuxonice patch19:13

ZogGBCMM, you have flags =)19:35
ZogGUSE=-hal =)19:35
MohammadAGbasically, how to use gstreamer widgets in Qt19:36
BCMMit isn't compulsory, but it is required for GUI mounting/unmounting of removable media19:36
ZogGthough i waited a lot for xfce4 to use udev insted of hal19:36
ZogGit wa or hal or mount manually =)19:36
BCMMlike i said, they modifed Solid in 4.6 to not use HAL19:36
ZogGalmost everyone did19:36
ZogGthey use udev19:36
BCMManyway, deprecated doesn't mean it doesn't work any more, so i still don't understand why telephony should break19:37
ZogGbut latest X and hal were fine with autodetection my xorg.conf was empty, everything out of box19:37
BCMM"HAL is in maintenance mode - no new features are added." - it's not even unmaintained19:37
APTXas a neat side effectof dropping hal, the ability of setting a keyboard layout vanished yet again19:37

LantiziaLo... On wikipedia I just read this... £Even though MeeGo was initiated as collaboration between Nokia and Intel, the collaboration was formed when Nokia was already developing the next incarnation of its Maemo Linux distribution. As a result, the Maemo 6 base operating system will be kept intact while the Handset UX will be shared, with the name changed to “MeeGo/Harmattan”."20:50
LantiziaDoes this essentially mean the N9 will run MeeGo/Harmattan and that it will continue to be Debian-orientated Maemo at heart but with a MeeGo UX on top?20:50

LantiziaMohammadAG, so surely this means the new MeeGo UX will be debian-packaged?20:52
MohammadAGMeeGo is RPM based20:53
MohammadAGMaemo 6 is debian based20:53
MohammadAGdifferent OSs20:53
MohammadAGdifferent openness20:53
Lantizia"As a result, the Maemo 6 base operating system will be kept intact while the Handset UX will be shared, with the name changed to “MeeGo/Harmattan”."20:53
LantiziaBy "base operating system" I'm thinking Maemo 6 will continue to be debian and dpkg20:53
Lantiziaif it's dpkg based... and the MeeGo UX is going on top... then it'll have to be in debian dpkg format no?20:54
MohammadAGyes, but MeeGo UX != MeeGo20:54
LantiziaI'm not saying it is20:54
MohammadAGand Maemo 6 != MeeGo20:54
LantiziaI'm not saying that either20:54
MohammadAGMaemo was and always will be debian based20:54
LantiziaI've been quite explicit about how I've phrased things20:54
MohammadAGMaemo 6 is just using MeeGo's UX20:55
MohammadAGbut it's still maemo, and probably a bit more closed20:55
LantiziaRight so the N9 will run MeeGo/Harmatted (AKA Maemo 6) and will be Debian based and runs the MeeGo UX which will be install/upgraded via dpkg right?20:55
jacekowskithere will be no N920:55
MohammadAGyes, and that ^ too20:55

jacekowskiN95020:56
ShadowJKNot convinced anyone would use MeeGo UX..20:56
MohammadAGShadowJK, long live cordia20:56
Lantiziaok so the N950 will run MeeGo/Harmatton...  (formerly known as Maemo6)... a _Debian_ based OS that will run the MeeGo UX which will install/upgrade via apt/dpkg ?20:57
ShadowJKI mean, MeeGo *UX are like placeholders saying <dear bigcorp, insert random ui here>20:57

LantiziaCool :)20:58
MohammadAGShadowJK, true20:58
LantiziaSo if... _if_ there is ever a Maemo 7 (properly known as... MeeGo/FuckKnows)... is it likely to leave Debian behind?20:58
Lantiziasince Novell have an openSUSE version of MeeGo.... can't Nokia just have a Debian version of MeeGo (formerly known as Maemo lol)20:59

LantiziaI'd rather see a range of MeeGo UX based distributions that are based/backed by your garden variety desktop distro makers (like openSUSE, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora etc...).  Maemo happened to be Debian based, so Nokia can continue to make they're own variety of a MeeGo UX based distro using Debian at it's core right?21:02
Lantizia*their21:02
Lantiziai.e. Maemo continues... name slightly changed (again)... and Hildon is traded for MeeGo UX... the end.21:03
LantiziaMohammadAG, wishful thinking or am I on the nose here?21:04

Lantiziajust as MeeGo/Harmatten sounds like it's going to be Maemo running the MeeGo UX21:05
Lantiziai.e. still debian21:05
Lantiziayacc, yeah that hurts me inside :(21:06
yaccLantizia, hence Nokia's announcements about their roadmap in the past were kind of vaporware-ish, but with the new course from the CEO downward, who can fathom what Nokia will deliver in n months?21:06
Lantiziayacc, I like to look at it as ... they got tired of critics moaning about Symbian, didn't think MeeGo was polished enough to replace Symbian yet... wanted $1 billion dollars... thought fine we'll have WP7 to replace Symbian only and if it goes tits up they can blame Microsoft and maybe Meego (still going on the Nxxx range) can be brought back in to the limelight21:07

yaccLantizia, if they had decided to abandon their developer base, they probably should have taken Android, and added Nokia services (they are one of the few companies that own digital maps for most of the globe) instead of loosing completely the control of the software stack.

LantiziaBut I still want my choice in package management, so it's cool if you can get a MeeGo orientated distro from your preferred community (debian, ubuntu, opensuse, fedora, etc)21:10

yaccpupnik, I don't think so, because WP7 equals a very strict list of hardware requirements (which are said to be slightly dated, kind of 1-2 years compared to current Android/iPhone handsets), so if they don't get a special dispension from MS, they'll be able to produce more or less the same phones that are currently on the market, now with Nokia logo, and slightly more flash, and slightly more mega pixel then the others, and we offer it in a dozen colors, ...21:23
pupnikyacc: i think the 'esc button' requirement should have been part of the N90021:23
yaccLantizia, yeah, you can compile Qt apps for Android. AFAIK it works by creating a native app compiled to ARM, with some Java packaging so it looks like a nice Android app to the phone.21:23
