| *** davyg has quit IRC | 00:37 | |

| DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: right, that's the case "on user interaction" | 00:38 |
| MohammadAG | yeah, sorry, IRC's lagging | 00:39 |
| DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: check how arbitrary other apps (or is it HDM?) do it, as virtually every app gets focus and foreground (ontop) when starting it while it's running | 00:39 |

| DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: there's probably no other/better/equivalent way to what file does | 01:01 |
| *** rd has quit IRC | 01:03 | |
| DocScrutinizer | so this is a perfect example to follow basic unix design principles and use existing general simple functions to build more specific functions out of them - in expression use system() | 01:03 |
| DocScrutinizer | or you find a lib that's doing what file cmd does | 01:03 |
| MohammadAG | DocScrutinizer, I'm not launching file from my app | 01:04 |
| DocScrutinizer | :shrug: | 01:04 |

| MohammadAG | well, yeah, that, but it's not working :P | 01:40 |
| DocScrutinizer | SpeedEvil's hint about libmagic is a realy good one | 01:40 |
| MohammadAG | and the stock player isn't doing it, it just jumps to playback according to DBus | 01:41 |
| DocScrutinizer | sure, stock MP is relying on tracker data. And tracker also has some way to determine type of file. Dunno how it works exactly | 01:42 |
| MohammadAG | no, tracker also uses DBus | 01:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | for some strange reason the terms "conduit" and "plugin" have a fight in my mind | 01:43 |
| MohammadAG | and it's not poking at that | 01:43 |
| MohammadAG | it's using some C/GLib API | 01:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: tracker can't read and index files via DBus | 01:43 |
| MohammadAG | gnome_vfs_get_mime_type_from_uri <-ha | 01:43 |
| MohammadAG | DocScrutinizer, all calls to tracker are done via DBus | 01:44 |
| *** sid has joined #maemo | 01:44 | |
| DocScrutinizer | yeah sure | 01:44 |
| MohammadAG | since both mafw and the mediaplayer are using tracker, it causes slowness | 01:44 |
| MohammadAG | that's why the stock UI sucks | 01:44 |
| RST38h | Tracker! | 01:44 |
| RST38h | Evil@! | 01:44 |
| DocScrutinizer | that's unrelated to tracker's indexing and file content scanning/classifying action though | 01:44 |
| MohammadAG | well, tracker indexes on its own | 01:45 |
| MohammadAG | then provides the data over DBus | 01:45 |
| MohammadAG | dbus-monitor --session | 01:45 |
| DocScrutinizer | we all know that | 01:45 |
| RST38h | Yea | 01:45 |
| MohammadAG | then start the stock player, it gives me headaches | 01:46 |
| *** mva has quit IRC | 01:47 | |
| RST38h | It behaves...weirdly. So does Modest though | 01:47 |
| RST38h | Check out what happens with mail account update times in the main view, for example =) | 01:48 |
| * DocScrutinizer ponders stopping trackerd (from autoindexing a certain directory), then copy over some e.g. mp3, and click on that file unknown to tracker in HFM | 01:48 | |
| RST38h | In the stock media player, see what happens with the list of songs to be played | 01:48 |
| RST38h | Similar crap | 01:48 |
| *** ftrvxmtrx has joined #maemo | 01:48 | |
| MohammadAG | DocScrutinizer, it'd work fine | 01:50 |
| DocScrutinizer | I bet HFM somehow has to determine the type of file. I'd not be surprised it asks tracker about type of file, and tracker in turn notices it's a file not yet indexed and starts to find out about the file's properties like tracker usually does | 01:51 |
| kerio | tracker is as tracker does | 01:52 |
| *** chelli has quit IRC | 01:52 | |
| DocScrutinizer | this means this very moment tracker will do sth similar to `file <file>` | 01:52 |
| *** mva has joined #maemo | 01:52 | |
| DocScrutinizer | either you use same procedure (asking tracker via DBus), or you consider doing the filetype inspection on your own, using `file` or libmagic or whatever you find appropriate | 01:53 |
| *** chx has quit IRC | 01:54 | |
| DocScrutinizer | or you don't care and simply try to open the file for video playback (or audio or whatever the user asked for) and see if it works or fails | 01:55 |
| *** Kilroo has joined #maemo | 01:55 | |
| DocScrutinizer | NB some audio formats (e.g .au) are hard or impossible to determine by anything other than listening to them :-) | 01:56 |
| DocScrutinizer | well, probably those formats are hard to playback in MP either, as you'd need to specify sampling rate and other parameters | 01:57 |
| * ShadowJK implemented .au once | 01:58 | |
| *** JenasonAKX has left #maemo | 01:58 | |
| DocScrutinizer | (I'm not absolutely sure about .au. IIRC it's the headerless raw audio dump format used by Sun?) | 01:59 |
| ShadowJK | "Originally it was headerless, being simply 8-bit ยต-law-encoded data at an 8000 Hz sample rate" ... "Newer files have a header that consists of six unsigned 32-bit words, an optional information chunk and then the data (in big endian format)." | 02:00 |

| Vanadis | lawl0r, you can shut down your computer now. | 02:31 |
| lawl0r | android has no viruses, because google removes them for me. | 02:31 |
| zakkkkm | bricked my nokia 770 back in like '08 , then got a 800 | 02:31 |
| MohammadAG | lawl0r, are you trolling maemo or android? | 02:31 |
| Vanadis | lawl0r, google also removes your pr0n. | 02:31 |
| mtnbkr | lawl0r: google is not your friend | 02:31 |
| lawl0r | MohammadAG, doesn't matter, as long as it's trolling | 02:32 |
| zakkkkm | lawl0r: i am an android developer, google doesnt do shit to stop "viruses" lol. | 02:32 |
| mtnbkr | lawl0r: and google tracks every thing you do EVERYTHING | 02:32 |

| *** lolcat is now known as yourself | 02:45 | |

| mtnbkr | DocScrutinizer: re: DRM-free his post | 02:45 |
| *** isak has joined #maemo | 02:46 | |
| mtnbkr | so, I think officially my N900 microsd reader is shot :( | 02:46 |
| ShadowJK | Do you still have the magnet? | 02:46 |
| DocScrutinizer | I had no lok at that post, as I generally never click on URLs just to find out *why* they got posted by some fool | 02:46 |
| mtnbkr | DocScrutinizer: me too | 02:46 |
| mtnbkr | sadly :) | 02:46 |
| DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: I guess you missed a point: if the magnet is missing, the system won't touch the SD card at all | 02:47 |
| mtnbkr | so, any other options or am I out of luck? all my RUSH, Steve Vai and Jo Satriani was on that micrsd card :( | 02:48 |
| DocScrutinizer | mtnbkr: I'd try with a 3rd and fourth card, just to make sure it's not bad luck | 02:48 |
| mtnbkr | yeah, but each 16GB microsd is ~ $50 | 02:48 |
| DocScrutinizer | preferably another brand | 02:48 |
| * ShadowJK recommends sandisk | 02:49 | |
| DocScrutinizer | so try a 1GB or even 512MB | 02:49 |
| *** pcacjr has joined #maemo | 02:49 | |
| *** pcacjr has joined #maemo | 02:49 | |
| nox- | mtnbkr, or try reading the card on a pc reader? | 02:49 |
| mtnbkr | I am not actually made of money (even though I bought the N900 in Nov 2010 at FULL REATAIL lol | 02:49 |
| DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: both were sandisk | 02:49 |
| mtnbkr | DocScrutinizer: yeah, good idea | 02:49 |
| DocScrutinizer | mtnbkr: same here :-) | 02:49 |
| mtnbkr | I COULD. NOT. WAIT. lol | 02:50 |
| ShadowJK | I bought it Nov 2009 retail :-) | 02:50 |
| DocScrutinizer | I paid it like 2009-08 | 02:50 |
| DocScrutinizer | shipped some 8 weeks later | 02:50 |
| mtnbkr | BTW, I had to use my old iPhone 3G while this was being repaired... I HATE the iPhone! I only keep it around since I have a cool app that I can plug my electric guitar into and add in effects etc... | 02:50 |
| ShadowJK | btw, "Corrupted memory card" could mean anything from a partition table the N900 doesn't like, to filesystem corruption, to actual memory card brokenness | 02:51 |
| DocScrutinizer | yep | 02:51 |
| DocScrutinizer | it might even be formated (/[not] partitioned) as a superfloppy | 02:52 |
| *** ftrvxmtrx has quit IRC | 02:52 | |
| mtnbkr | ShadowJK: right but the card IS readable on some dude's windows machine | 02:52 |
| DocScrutinizer | windoze will happily use those | 02:52 |
| DocScrutinizer | try listing the partition(s) with sfdisk | 02:53 |
| ShadowJK | mtnbkr, do you speak linux | 02:53 |
| mtnbkr | DocScrutinizer: p[lus earlier today I dd'ed it and then it was STILL readable so it tells me my sd reader/writer is non-functional since all those 0's never made it to the microsd card | 02:53 |
| mtnbkr | ShadowJK: almost exclusively | 02:53 |
| mtnbkr | I also speak mountain biking, beer, OS/2 and RPN :) | 02:53 |
| DocScrutinizer | mtnbkr: good point, yeah. dd should have erased it | 02:54 |
| ShadowJK | Right.. I'd fire up a rootshell on N900, try mount it manually (check with 'mount' first to check what MyDocs device name is called, because they can jump around and get renamed a bit) | 02:54 |
| DocScrutinizer | if you dd to phy device, not mtd*1 | 02:54 |
| DocScrutinizer | err mmc*1 | 02:54 |
| *** NIN101 has quit IRC | 02:54 | |
| ShadowJK | also dmesg | 02:55 |
| DocScrutinizer | yep | 02:55 |
| zakkkkm | ShadowJK: wow, everyone is still in maemo scene eh | 02:55 |
| DocScrutinizer | then there's been that tool to read out properties of storage devices... can't recall the name | 02:55 |
| ShadowJK | In general, after you insert microsd and close the battery cover, dmesg will contain some info and partition list, or errors, or nothing at all. I'd start from there | 02:57 |
| *** internetishard has quit IRC | 02:57 | |
| ShadowJK | zakkkkm, what do you mean? | 02:57 |
| zakkkkm | ShadowJK: i remember you when i was here about 3 years ago. | 02:58 |
| ShadowJK | Oh :-) | 02:58 |
| zakkkkm | and alot of the same people are still here. | 02:58 |
| *** internetishard has joined #maemo | 02:58 | |
| ShadowJK | I didn't know I had been here 3 years. And I'm sorry I don't remember you :-( | 02:58 |
| zakkkkm | sold my 800 in early 09 i believe, and recently got n900 so im back. | 02:58 |
| ShadowJK | welcome back :D | 02:58 |
| zakkkkm | dont expect you too, dont believe we ever talked. | 02:58 |
| * ShadowJK bought N810, N800, N900, in that order | 02:59 | |
| ShadowJK | still use them all | 02:59 |
| zakkkkm | i had 770 , got wsod.. then had 800 , and now n900 | 02:59 |
| * DocScrutinizer is missing 800 | 02:59 | |
| ShadowJK | I don't have 770 :/ | 02:59 |
| * DocScrutinizer neither | 02:59 | |
| zakkkkm | *loved maemo 3* | 02:59 |
| zakkkkm | plankton theme! | 03:00 |
| ShadowJK | 770 WSOD, N800 lose vertical hold, dunno what N810 does :P | 03:00 |
| ShadowJK | N900 ejects usb port | 03:00 |
| DocScrutinizer | ouch | 03:00 |
| mtnbkr | ShadowJK: usually just a lot of I/O errors. (in dmesg that is) I/O error, dev mmcblk1, sector x (x increments) and mmcblk1: error -84 transferring data, sector x (x increments), nr y (y decrements) card status 0x900 | 03:00 |
| luke-jr | GAN900: OS X isn't terrible on Windows? | 03:00 |
| zakkkkm | on windows? how do you run OSX on windows? | 03:01 |
| mtnbkr | luke-jr: whuuuu? | 03:01 |
| ShadowJK | hehe, I use the klingon theme on N800 | 03:01 |
| DocScrutinizer | mtnbkr: that's definitely borked card or reader | 03:01 |
| mtnbkr | DocScrutinizer: I know right. :) | 03:01 |
| ShadowJK | mtnbkr, sounds bad, unless sector x*512 is outside the card's size | 03:02 |
| DocScrutinizer | mtnbkr: I suggest you do a proper backup, then reflash | 03:02 |
| GeneralAntilles | luke-jr: parse error. | 03:02 |
| zakkkkm | there doesnt seem to be good themes on maemo 5 | 03:02 |
| DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: GOOD point | 03:02 |
| mtnbkr | DocScrutinizer: the flash is fine... phone is working, retore is mostly fine just the microsd is NFG | 03:03 |
| DocScrutinizer | yes | 03:03 |
| ShadowJK | Yeah, I regulary freak out seeing errors on N810 internal mmc, but that's because I still have the faulty Nokia partition table which defines a partition bigger than the internal mmc size | 03:03 |
| DocScrutinizer | understood | 03:03 |
| DocScrutinizer | WUUUUT? | 03:03 |
| DocScrutinizer | Nokia by default has a fubar'd partition table on eMMC?? | 03:04 |
| ShadowJK | On N810, yes :) | 03:04 |
| DocScrutinizer | ooh | 03:04 |
| ShadowJK | The partition is bigger than the emmc | 03:04 |
| *** nid0 has quit IRC | 03:04 | |
| DocScrutinizer | now that might explain something | 03:04 |
| ShadowJK | It's a well-known bug | 03:04 |
| *** ftrvxmtrx has joined #maemo | 03:04 | |
| ShadowJK | heh | 03:05 |
| DocScrutinizer | dn't you think this could cause reboots | 03:05 |
| ShadowJK | Of course | 03:05 |
| DocScrutinizer | when swap fails | 03:05 |
| DocScrutinizer | e.g | 03:05 |
| ShadowJK | In 90% of cases, swap is created early enough that it doesn't spill over | 03:05 |
| DocScrutinizer | HELL | 03:05 |
| ShadowJK | I only saw errors/warnings when I loaded maps for my trip to germany 2009 :-) | 03:06 |
| DocScrutinizer | isn't there a chance to wrap around to start of eMMC? | 03:07 |
| ShadowJK | (.de maps were huge) | 03:07 |
| *** sleepee has quit IRC | 03:07 | |
| ShadowJK | No it doesn't wrap around | 03:07 |
| ShadowJK | If it did wrap around, you'd find out soon enough when the partition table is blown away | 03:07 |
| DocScrutinizer | mtnbkr: mind to do a dd if=sometext.txt of=/dev/mmcblk1(<<check that! don't use *p1) bs=1024 count=1 ? | 03:09 |
| DocScrutinizer | then sync, mount-cycle (backcover), read back and see what it looks like | 03:09 |
| DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: yeah | 03:10 |

| Robot101 | yep just to the right of the camera button | 03:18 |

| nox- | so you cant use it to `learn' an unknown remote | 03:18 |
| Sazpaimon | i take that back | 03:18 |

| nox- | hm not a single google hit for jr32LG3000_1 ... | 03:36 |
| nox- | or _2 | 03:36 |
| Sazpaimon | neither irreco seem to have a - button | 03:36 |
| Sazpaimon | how can i acess subchannels this way | 03:36 |
| *** TiagoTiago has joined #maemo | 03:37 | |
| *** divan has quit IRC | 03:38 | |
| DocScrutinizer | Sazpaimon: you need to define your own buttons if the one you need is missing in the remote definition you loaded | 03:39 |
| Sazpaimon | i found it | 03:39 |
| Sazpaimon | it was called PLUSMINUS | 03:39 |
| Sazpaimon | for some reason | 03:39 |
| * pupnik puts out tuna for the cat | 03:39 | |
| DocScrutinizer | nox-: I got a weird error "can't parse reply" on trying to open the remotes download submenu | 03:40 |
| nox- | sounds like some notwork/protocol problem? but what do i know... :) | 03:41 |
| * nox- only tried to make a remote for the dreambox once, and found it too difficult getting the timing/config right (that i read using an mceusb device with irrecord...) | 03:42 | |
| *** geaaru has quit IRC | 03:43 | |
| nox- | its not a `standard' protocol so it has to be a raw config... | 03:43 |
| *** MadViking has quit IRC | 03:43 | |
| nox- | (and the `irman' config in the lirc archive was of course useless for sending :) | 03:46 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | nox-: it's just the TV submenu that says 'can not parse reply' | 03:54 |
| nox- | mh? | 03:55 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | specifically the LG and other subsubmenues there | 03:55 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | in irreco "download remote" | 03:55 |
| nox- | ah yeah i guess it talks to a server that has configs | 03:56 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | my LG remote been probably there under TV | 03:57 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | LG | 03:57 |
| Sazpaimon | i now realize how futile this is | 03:58 |
| Sazpaimon | because the N900's ir reciever isnt really that good | 03:58 |
| Sazpaimon | it needs to face the tv directly for it to work, which means holding it in a non remote position | 03:58 |
| nox- | you mean ir led? it doesnt have a receiver... | 03:58 |
| Sazpaimon | yeah | 03:58 |
| nox- | ah yeah | 03:58 |
| Sazpaimon | its a cool little novelty and i may use it to turn off the tv if i ever cant find the remote | 03:59 |
| nox- | :) | 03:59 |
| *** pupnik_ has joined #maemo | 04:02 | |

| DocScrutinizer51 | A nice feature was to change IP of the controller from hostname localhost to t900 (second device). the same config ran on t900 and so first device called 2nd to emit IR | 04:29 |

| ShadowJK | the fmradio thing just pissed me off | 04:54 |
| *** zakkkkm_ has joined #maemo | 04:54 | |
| SpeedEvil | yeah | 04:54 |
| ShadowJK | whoever designed it achieved their presumed goal of making radio as fucking hard as it possibly can be | 04:55 |
| SpeedEvil | It's like a proof-of-concept alpha version. | 04:55 |
| ShadowJK | I only /ONCE/ managed to tune it to a station | 04:55 |

| RST38h | ShadowJK: javispedro will be offended =) | 04:58 |
| RST38h | ShadowJK: Or are you talking about that OTHER fm radio package? | 04:58 |
| ShadowJK | The one that looks like an analog frequency display, and when you release finger pressure from display, it moves from 99.9 to 99.1 Mhz | 04:59 |

| DocScrutinizer51 | automatic preset search YEAH! | 05:18 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | javispedro should add direct key-in of freq via kbd | 05:18 |
| TiagoTiago | That's the one that works even without the headphone plugged, right? | 05:18 |
| DocScrutinizer51 | that would make it almost perfect | 05:19 |

| tr4sk | I was using kernel-power. and recently I decided to try nitdroid | 10:18 |
| robbiethe1st | Yea? | 10:18 |
| tr4sk | but now, the kernel power does'nt seem to boot | 10:18 |
| tr4sk | I'm stuck with 2.6.28-omap1 | 10:19 |
| tr4sk | or nitdroid | 10:19 |
| tr4sk | I did'nt find a solution to boot the custom kernel. | 10:20 |
| robbiethe1st | Reinstall kernel-power? | 10:21 |

| DocScrutinizer | the button on all standard one-button headsets compliant with http://members.omtp.org/Lists/ReqPublications/Attachments/36/OMTP_Local_Connectivity_Wired_Analogue_Audio_v1_0.pdf shall answer calls when pressed | 13:13 |

| alterego | Ah, sunday morning tmo trolling | 13:19 |
| DocScrutinizer | it's still largely unclear how those multi-button multimedia headsets work, but definitely they seem to be incompatible for the button operation, at least to the way the N900 driver reads out that signal. N95 has a similar hardware to handle headsets and obviously can handle multibutton | 13:19 |
| timeless_w7ip | doc: depending on whose headset you're talking about | 13:21 |
| timeless_w7ip | they use a proprietary protocol | 13:21 |
| timeless_w7ip | which required significant effort toimplement | 13:21 |
| timeless_w7ip | s/toi/to i/ | 13:21 |

| delphi | DocScrutinizer so they aren't supported on driver level? | 13:22 |
| MohammadAG | alterego, you still read that site? | 13:22 |
| DocScrutinizer | according to the source appearing somewhere on web Nokia has another linux device that will use a dedicated MCU ASIC to communicate to the MM-headsets | 13:22 |
| DocScrutinizer | delphi: seems so | 13:23 |
| DocScrutinizer | this source suggests the protocol is rather complex | 13:23 |
| timeless_w7ip | further, it wasn't a requirement and the hardware that was shipped was selected because it wasn't unsupported | 13:23 |
| timeless_w7ip | (we're practical, not always stupid) | 13:23 |
| DocScrutinizer | and probably any kind of serial, and also probably via mic similar to one-button | 13:23 |
| timeless_w7ip | obviously we have hardware which didn't work withour device, and obviously it was available in volume since it shipped w/ other devices | 13:24 |

| timeless_w7ip | there's a reason we shipped the headset we did | 13:27 |
| timeless_w7ip | instead of a more complicated one | 13:27 |

| timeless_w7ip | and the reason is that it wasn't practical to implement the necessary bits for the n900 | 13:28 |
| robbiethe1st | Oh; that makes sense - So, they just used a simpler headset | 13:28 |
| robbiethe1st | Hm... the hardware | 13:28 |
| DocScrutinizer | yeah, ok. np. The topic (my topic) is slightly different though | 13:28 |
| timeless_w7ip | yeah, we used something that worked | 13:28 |
| robbiethe1st | It'd do a better headset with proper driver, right? | 13:28 |
| timeless_w7ip | instead of shipping something that wouldn't work | 13:28 |
| timeless_w7ip | robbie: the proper driver being split across 3 or more layers | 13:29 |
| timeless_w7ip | iirc including kernel | 13:29 |
| timeless_w7ip | "it'd do better with better software, it's only software" | 13:29 |
| robbiethe1st | Alright. But it's still a software problem, not hardware. | 13:29 |
| DocScrutinizer | it's not any question the shipped headset is both crap and standard compliant, as are all phones since ~4 years | 13:29 |

| MohammadAG | how do I pass an int to that strings? | 13:30 |
| timeless_w7ip | my understanding is that doing it in software is hard and that it /might/ be possible to make it easier for the software if there was fancier hardware | 13:30 |
| MohammadAG | string* | 13:30 |
| timeless_w7ip | mohammadag: by first converting the int to a string | 13:30 |
| MohammadAG | that's easy, then? | 13:30 |
| DocScrutinizer | it's just the point I dunno what exactly the PHY layer specs are for the MM-headsets, but I'm sure N900 could do as N900 has same hw as N95 | 13:30 |
| robbiethe1st | Ah | 13:30 |
| MohammadAG | printf? or is there some other Qt equivalent | 13:31 |
| timeless_w7ip | mohammadag: there should be a Qt thing for it | 13:31 |
| timeless_w7ip | look for Number.ToString or String.FromNumber or ... | 13:31 |
| DocScrutinizer | and of course bitbanging a serial 1 wire protocol in sw is tricky | 13:31 |
| MohammadAG | QString::fromNumber(), I mean is there something to pass that string to the translatable one | 13:31 |

| timeless_w7ip | oddly i've actually even used it | 13:32 |
| * timeless_w7ip did Qt work for VirtualBox not too long ago | 13:32 | |
| DocScrutinizer | I gather that's why Nokia EE got requirement specs for a MCU ASIC to handle that protocol on N9AA | 13:33 |

| DocScrutinizer | anyway implementing such shit in sw, as kernel driver, is exactly my domain of expertise | 13:35 |
| DocScrutinizer | and I regularly piss of sw devels with layering violations | 13:36 |
| DocScrutinizer | but in the end it always works | 13:36 |
| DocScrutinizer | I would have started with specifying the sw arch long ago, if somebody would've paid me for a MM-headset and a N95 plus a week's worth rent for a scope | 13:38 |
| DocScrutinizer | or - even better - Nokia would've disclosed this protocol specs | 13:39 |
| DocScrutinizer | I'd not even be surprised if the basic timing and protocol actually would be like HDQ | 13:41 |

| DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: pressing vol+/- while listening to music, and see if you can level down at hs and level back up at phone - makes sure the vol+/- is transmitted to phone | 14:12 |

| MohammadAG | then after a driver you need to "wire" the policy crap correctly | 14:15 |
| DocScrutinizer | hypothesis: headset needs power, so micbias will be on. micbias delivered from N95 will be within specs for 'normal' hs, i.e. 2..3V@2kR | 14:15 |

| DocScrutinizer | N95 won't poll, that means first pulse comes from headset when pressing button | 14:16 |
| jacekowski | well i suppose power is same in both cases | 14:16 |
| jacekowski | it's just signaling that's different | 14:16 |
| jacekowski | otherwise they would risk blowing up something | 14:16 |

| kwtm | Oh, that's what it stands for. ... yeah, most of the time I can do without man pages since I can always look them up on the web ... with lynx ... if only I could navigate it properly with the proper keystrokes ... if I had the FRIKKKN keystrokes help file!!! :( | 14:40 |
| DocScrutinizer | kwtm: don'tlisten to those youngsters that never had a linux box with a 80MB(sic!) HDD and complete manpages | 14:41 |
| timeless_w7ip | doc: some of us used hdds w/ <40mb of space | 14:41 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: Yeah, I never figured out the distinction ... and I never understood why people wanted it formatted for some retarded DOS filesystem that doesn't even support symlinks. Someday when I get half a moment I'm going to reformat for ... what does the rest of the N900 use, ext3 or ReiserFS? | 14:42 |
| * DocScrutinizer too, not for linux though | 14:42 | |
| timeless_w7ip | right | 14:42 |

| timeless_w7ip | kwtm: you don't care about being able to use your n900 w/ a second computer? | 14:42 |
| DocScrutinizer | ext3 | 14:42 |
| kwtm | My first working Linux was BasicLinux with 20MB hard drive. | 14:42 |
| *** cpt_nemo has quit IRC | 14:42 | |
| timeless_w7ip | most *humans* like being able to plug their phones into a desktop or laptop and copy songs or stuff across | 14:42 |
| timeless_w7ip | for this to work you need to either support MTP which some hackers curse | 14:43 |
| *** ftrvxmtrx has quit IRC | 14:43 | |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: Not with a computer that requires MicroS**t compatible system. I use my N900 with a second computer by SSH'ing into the N900. :) | 14:43 |
| timeless_w7ip | or something like FAT which some hackers also curse | 14:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | kwtm: see http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Joerg_rw/tools | 14:43 |
| *** cpt_nemo has joined #maemo | 14:43 | |
| timeless_w7ip | kwtm: you aren't a human | 14:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | about changing size of partitons | 14:43 |
| timeless_w7ip | and thus are not relevant to design decisions | 14:43 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: Yeah, that's what I'm told. | 14:43 |
| timeless_w7ip | kwtm: do you honestly think the average person uses ssh? | 14:44 |
| timeless_w7ip | you're welcome to fsck up your n900 as much as you like once you buy it | 14:44 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip, do YOU think the average person uses a N900? :) | 14:44 |
| timeless_w7ip | but nokia's goal in designing the n900 was to sell the n900 to as many people as possible | 14:44 |
| pupnik | there's a n online game with like 50k people that has an SDL client unported btw | 14:44 |
| timeless_w7ip | and oddly enough it did an incredibly good job | 14:44 |
| timeless_w7ip | for a product it wasn't really trying to sell at all | 14:45 |
| kwtm | DocScrutinizer: Do you recommend resizing partitions more than changing the entire ~/MyDocs to ext3? (or whatever it uses...) | 14:45 |
| DocScrutinizer | that's been the fundamental flaw in N900 concept | 14:45 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: Yeah, never quite figured out what Nokia wanted to do with the N900 until recently when Elop said, "Hey, let's have intercourse with Micros**t!" | 14:45 |
| DocScrutinizer | kwtm: some apps need that vfat it seems | 14:45 |
| timeless_w7ip | kwtm: please don't curse here | 14:45 |
| timeless_w7ip | if you want to curse, go elsewhere | 14:46 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: Sorry, ** = "of". Did you think I meant anything else? :) | 14:46 |
| timeless_w7ip | please note that the n900 design decisions were made roughly 3 years ago | 14:46 |
| timeless_w7ip | kwtm: i think you're being an a**hole | 14:46 |
| timeless_w7ip | ** = lt | 14:46 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: What's a aofhole? | 14:46 |
| kwtm | Ok, point taken with the asterisks,. | 14:46 |
| kwtm | DocScrutinizer: Ahh... so I really do need the vfat partition, then ... | 14:47 |
| timeless_w7ip | elop joined nokia <1 year ago | 14:47 |
| timeless_w7ip | so any design decisions made for the n900 happened >2 years before he joined | 14:47 |
| timeless_w7ip | and blaming him for them is absolutely *insane* | 14:47 |
| DocScrutinizer | kwtm: suggestion is to keep like 1GB, maybe 500M | 14:47 |
| timeless_w7ip | please don't try to sound stupid, it's incredibly easy but will not win you any respect | 14:47 |
| timeless_w7ip | compatibility with other devices is a general goal | 14:47 |
| timeless_w7ip | it makes it easier for sales clerks to sell products | 14:48 |
| timeless_w7ip | and it reduces returns stemming from "this doesn't work with my x" | 14:48 |
| timeless_w7ip | both of which are important when you're in the business of selling hardware | 14:48 |
| timeless_w7ip | as for whether average people use n900s, i've seen more n900s than i expected | 14:48 |
| timeless_w7ip | and we sold more than we expected | 14:48 |
| DocScrutinizer | timeless_w7ip: the general product requirement specs of N900 to comply with M$ lusers been a major fault | 14:48 |
| *** cpt_nemo has quit IRC | 14:49 | |
| timeless_w7ip | and they're definitely used by people who use normal computers | 14:49 |
| timeless_w7ip | including apple macintoshes and windows | 14:49 |
| DocScrutinizer | yeah, like me | 14:49 |
| timeless_w7ip | doc: not really | 14:49 |
| timeless_w7ip | the size balance was a marketing decision | 14:49 |
| *** cpt_nemo has joined #maemo | 14:49 | |
| timeless_w7ip | optification design was an engineering flaw unrelated to the fat partition choice or the partition size | 14:50 |
| timeless_w7ip | kwtm: anyway | 14:50 |
| timeless_w7ip | your device has 256mb of core storage | 14:50 |
| DocScrutinizer | Nokia UX dudes failed epically on adapting maemo to windows paradigms and lusers' expectations, and they spoiled quite some bits for the linux nerds | 14:50 |
| kwtm | DocScrutinizer: Your repartitioning web page seems to say that I have to re-aptgetinstall everything after I repartition and then reflash? | 14:50 |
| timeless_w7ip | well over half of that is in use when we ship the device | 14:51 |
| DocScrutinizer | kwtm: it's the most simple 1 cmdline tweak to partition size, done prior to flashing | 14:51 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: Just to clarify: I was not blaming Elop, just saying that Nokia's direction was not clear until he joined. | 14:51 |
| DocScrutinizer | there are other ways but they are way more complicated | 14:51 |
| timeless_w7ip | kwtm: well | 14:51 |
| timeless_w7ip | the reason it wasn't clear is because it didn't have one | 14:52 |
| timeless_w7ip | your statement implied it had a secret one | 14:52 |
| timeless_w7ip | which is false | 14:52 |
| *** andrei1089 has quit IRC | 14:52 | |
| timeless_w7ip | and there's an incredibly significant difference between having a secret agenda | 14:52 |
| timeless_w7ip | and not having an agenda at all | 14:52 |
| *** ftrvxmtrx has joined #maemo | 14:52 | |
| kwtm | I probably deserve to seem stupid but didn't want to seem *that* stupid. I just didn't realize that Nokia's poor decisions had such a deep-seated cause until Elop brought to light how bad things were internally at Nokia. | 14:52 |
| timeless_w7ip | elop did not "unveil a secret plan from 5 years ago" | 14:52 |
| timeless_w7ip | kwtm: ok, just in the future, please be *much* more careful with your choice of words | 14:53 |
| timeless_w7ip | words are incredibly powerflu | 14:53 |
| timeless_w7ip | 477M /usr/share/ | 14:53 |
| timeless_w7ip | is a size from a random linux box i'm using right now | 14:53 |
| timeless_w7ip | keep in mind that the file system for the n900 is only 256mb large and needs to host an os | 14:53 |
| timeless_w7ip | app devs have a tendency to stick lots of crap in /usr/share | 14:54 |
| DocScrutinizer | timeless_w7ip: get a cup of coffee and a cig | 14:54 |
| timeless_w7ip | which 99% of the population never touch | 14:54 |
| *** steve___ has joined #maemo | 14:54 | |
| timeless_w7ip | err, sorry | 14:54 |
| timeless_w7ip | 94M /usr/share/doc/ | 14:54 |
| timeless_w7ip | but still, if we allocated 100mb for /usr/share/doc/ | 14:54 |
| pupnik | a smaller root filesystem saves battery, yes? | 14:54 |
| timeless_w7ip | there wouldn't be any space for apps | 14:54 |
| timeless_w7ip | pupnik: saves on cost | 14:55 |
| DocScrutinizer | pupnik: how that? | 14:55 |
| timeless_w7ip | the flash used for the root file system is faster and smaller | 14:55 |
| timeless_w7ip | buying more flash in that form costs more | 14:55 |
| DocScrutinizer | marginally faster | 14:55 |
| pupnik | DocScrutinizer: dunno, smaller emmc device costing less energy? | 14:55 |
| timeless_w7ip | pupnik: we're not talking about emmc | 14:55 |
| timeless_w7ip | this is about rootfs | 14:55 |
| timeless_w7ip | a different flash module | 14:55 |
| pupnik | oh what's it called? | 14:55 |
| timeless_w7ip | nand flash i suppose | 14:56 |
| * timeless_w7ip shrugs | 14:56 | |
| DocScrutinizer | pupnik: how does that help when we got a 32gb emmc anyway, and btw root is on NAND, not emmc | 14:56 |
| timeless_w7ip | the problem is that they're both 'flash memory' and you can flash 'both' of htem | 14:56 |
| timeless_w7ip | s/htem/them/ | 14:56 |
| infobot | timeless_w7ip meant: the problem is that they're both 'flash memory' and you can flash 'both' of them | 14:56 |
| *** cpt_nemo has quit IRC | 14:56 | |
| kwtm | DocScrutinizer: your replacement for apt-get: that is intended to do the usual apt-get plus record the installations in a log file? Is that necessary for me to change the partition size? It is not clear to me what that does which "dpkg --get-selections >WhatIHaveInstalled.log" doesn't do. | 14:56 |
| pupnik | DocScrutinizer: do emmc / nand devices sleep? | 14:57 |
| DocScrutinizer | kwtm: no that's unrelated | 14:57 |
| DocScrutinizer | pupnik: not exactly | 14:57 |
| timeless_w7ip | pupnik: the choice of 30gb (?) for user data was mostly marketing again | 14:57 |
| *** cpt_nemo has joined #maemo | 14:57 | |
| timeless_w7ip | it sounds better and makes sufficient sense for the vast majority of users | 14:57 |
| kwtm | DocScrutinizer: Also: if I grasp this correctly, by changing a line in vanilla.bin, I can change the size of /home when I reflash. So this is the vanilla.bin that is on my desktop before I flash it onto the N900, correct? | 14:58 |
| timeless_w7ip | you're unlikely to manage to install 2gb of apps | 14:58 |
| DocScrutinizer | kwtm: only the first box is about partitioning | 14:58 |
| timeless_w7ip | (ignore the fact that there's a marketing allocation of 3/4gb for swap for another marketing item) | 14:58 |
| DocScrutinizer | kwtm: correct | 14:58 |
| DocScrutinizer | kwtm: to answer your next question: the rest of eMMC will get used for vfat | 14:59 |
| timeless_w7ip | pupnik: sizes are basically tunables | 14:59 |
| *** buntfalke has joined #maemo | 14:59 | |
| kwtm | Oh! I didn't realize it was that easy. Ok, will probably do that sometime this week (I'm tuning/purging my laptop/desktop these next few days so will probably keep my N900 as is until everything on the desktop is shown to be working again.) | 14:59 |
| timeless_w7ip | picking defaults is hard | 14:59 |
| kwtm | DocScrutinizer: Oh! I didn't realize I had a next question, but now that you mention it, I suddenly have this urge to ask ... How does it know how much I want for vfat? --Oh! You answered it already. :) | 15:00 |
| timeless_w7ip | but you often turn to marketing which makes a call based on what it thinks makes sense unless you can come up w/ a better reason not to | 15:00 |
| timeless_w7ip | kwtm: if you want to take pictures | 15:00 |
| timeless_w7ip | or worse.. movies | 15:00 |
| timeless_w7ip | you want space for them | 15:00 |
| timeless_w7ip | (yes, the camera is among the thinks which is picky about having a fat volume) | 15:00 |
| timeless_w7ip | part of the reason for that is that it wants to know when the place where it's trying to save isn't available because it's exported to a usb host | 15:01 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: Hmm... ok, so the camera requires vfat. Hmm... I do take pictures/movies ... what to do what to do.. | 15:01 |
| DocScrutinizer | camera will happily store to uSD though | 15:01 |
| *** cpt_nemo has quit IRC | 15:02 | |
| kwtm | DocScrutinizer to the rescue! I suppose I can check if camera has a setting to store to uSD? Come to think of it, I think that's what I've got it set at right now. | 15:02 |
| * pupnik has gone from wishing the n900 were better to being happy it ever was produced | 15:02 | |
| *** cpt_nemo has joined #maemo | 15:02 | |
| kwtm | Speaking of which, can the N900 handle uSD >16GB? No such card has been available locally so I never asked. | 15:03 |
| *** retro|cz has quit IRC | 15:03 | |
| DocScrutinizer | kwtm: allegedly yes | 15:03 |
| kwtm | pupnik: I've taken to assuming that, any moment now, I will be the only N900 user left on this planet. Which is why I'm installing all sorts of stuff on my N900 now even though I might not use it for a long long time. | 15:03 |
| pupnik | what do u mean, there's no replacement device in-sight | 15:04 |
| HRH_H_Crab | im still using mine. | 15:04 |
| HRH_H_Crab | :P | 15:04 |
| DocScrutinizer | I'll use mine for a loooong time to come | 15:04 |
| HRH_H_Crab | if i had the cash id buy another spare too for when this one dies. | 15:04 |
| pupnik | planning for another one here too | 15:04 |
| HRH_H_Crab | if i had a LOT of cash id prob. buy multipe spares. | 15:04 |
| * DocScrutinizer got ONE spare | 15:05 | |
| * DocScrutinizer would like to have another one | 15:05 | |
| kwtm | pupnik: What I mean is: the N900 ecosystem is fragile. There might not be replacement parts, and if I upgrade to PR 1.3 there won't be a Nokia person at the other end of the helpline to say, "We'll support you!" | 15:05 |

| pupnik | kwtm: it's not exactly like buying a symbian/apple phone in that regard | 15:06 |
| kwtm | DocScrutinizer: Yeah, I'm so glad the maemo community is here. | 15:06 |
| pupnik | what kind of question would you ask a support line? | 15:07 |
| DocScrutinizer | kwtm: I sympathize with your mindset | 15:07 |
| pupnik | i haven't even been able to think of one that i'd expect them to be able to answer | 15:07 |
| kwtm | You know, I can't seem to find where to tell my camera to capture to uSD instead of flash memory. Not in "camera" or "settings". Can someone refresh my memory? | 15:07 |
| DocScrutinizer | in camera | 15:08 |

| *** e-yes has quit IRC | 15:10 | |
| kwtm | pupnik: Ohhh... well, after fiddling with it for a bit, it wouldn't boot properly, until I reflashed. Then it would happen again. Since I didn't reboot the N900 too often, it was not obvious exactly when it would switch over to this state where a reboot would cause it to hang, and what I was doing (if anything) to cause it. | 15:11 |
| kwtm | After spending a long time in this IRC channel and in the forums, we tried switching uSD cards and SIM cards and it would still happen, so I thought it might be a bad unit, or (after buying another one from the same store) a bad batch. | 15:12 |
| pupnik | interesting | 15:12 |
| pupnik | did you resolve the issue? | 15:12 |
| kwtm | After the same problem happened with a unit I got from Amazon instead of the local electronics store, I thought maybe, just maybe, there was actually a bug in the software. [omit mention of the derision I got from some N900 experts here ...] | 15:12 |
| *** cpt_nemo has quit IRC | 15:13 | |
| kwtm | anyway, it turned out that a 2-line text file which does not exist by default on the N900, which if present, can cause one of the installed-by-default pieces of software on the N900 to prevent being able to boot properly. | 15:13 |
| *** cpt_nemo_ has quit IRC | 15:13 | |
| *** retro|cz has joined #maemo | 15:13 | |
| *** cpt_nemo has joined #maemo | 15:14 | |
| pupnik | where was this textfile stored and what did it contain? | 15:14 |
| pupnik | much of the configuration of linux devices is in text files | 15:14 |
| kwtm | So, the lesson is, never assume that anything you do on the N900 is safe and won't interact with other software, no matter how ridiculous it might seem that such a harmless thing can bring down a $500 piece of equipment. | 15:14 |
| kwtm | The text file is ~/.profile ... which, to all rights, should NOT be executed by the shell unless it's an interactive shell. | 15:15 |
| *** disco_stu has quit IRC | 15:16 | |
| kwtm | Furthermore, if the shell DOES decide to execute it, and it results in an error, it should NOT cause the entire device to lock up on booting! :( | 15:16 |
| pupnik | i didn't know it read .profile on boot either | 15:16 |
| kwtm | In the ~/.profile, I sourced a longer .profile stored in flash storage ... which is not yet mounted on bootup. So then it just decides to flash those five bootup dots forever. | 15:17 |
| *** buntfalke has quit IRC | 15:17 | |
| kwtm | And here I was, trying to figure out how to download the flash image from my crummy connection on my hotel room ... | 15:17 |

| *** mikhas has joined #maemo | 15:17 | |
| timeless_w7ip | are you sure about your claims for .profile? | 15:17 |
| kwtm | unable to make phone calls on my cell because the N900 was in "forever dots" mode. | 15:17 |
| pupnik | you're serious? | 15:17 |
| timeless_w7ip | my naive reading says ".profile is executed each time you log in" | 15:18 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: When I removed the ~/.profile, it worked. | 15:18 |
| timeless_w7ip | to me when i start X, i've "logged in" | 15:18 |
| *** MadViking has joined #maemo | 15:18 | |
| pupnik | i'm surprised i haven't messed up my .profile yet | 15:19 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: I could be wrong. My understanding is that .bashrc or .shlogin whatever the equivalent is for logging in, and .profile is for when I get a shell prompt. | 15:19 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: But possibly the N900 considers the GUI as a form of having logged in. | 15:19 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: But I continue to think that, if a file is non-existent, the resulting error should not render the device unbootable. | 15:20 |
| timeless_w7ip | kwtm: if you can break the device from the gui (x terminal is not the gui) without installing third party software | 15:20 |
| timeless_w7ip | then it's a bug | 15:20 |
| kwtm | We also had a lively discussion about whether the N900 should have a reset button like my desktop or the Treo (e.g 650 which I had been using previously) | 15:20 |
| timeless_w7ip | if you can't, then you're taking advantage of your powers as a user to break everything | 15:21 |
| ShadowJK | iirc there's a "set" statement that makes commands in a script not fail entire script | 15:21 |
| ShadowJK | but I just added ||echo "Oh no" to everything I add | 15:21 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: I guess I'll just say we all have our own opinions about what does or does not constitute a bug, and leave it at that. | 15:21 |
| timeless_w7ip | kwtm: a bug is something that doesn't work according to design | 15:22 |
| timeless_w7ip | the design allows you to break the device as much as you like by installing third party software or using xterminal | 15:22 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: I guess I'll just say we all have our own opinions about what does or does not constitute reasonable design, and leave it at that. | 15:22 |
| timeless_w7ip | if we *didn't* allow you to break your device | 15:22 |
| timeless_w7ip | you'd scream bloody murder | 15:22 |
| timeless_w7ip | you can't have that both ways | 15:22 |
| kwtm | Anyway ... so, watch out for ~/.profile | 15:22 |
| timeless_w7ip | i suggest you be happy w/ the tradeoff of being able to break your device | 15:23 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: Well, that wasn't the main issue .. the main issue was that no one else had encountered this problem before, so it was difficult to track down. | 15:23 |
| timeless_w7ip | otherwise, you should buy an iPhone | 15:23 |
| timeless_w7ip | there are an infinite number of ways to break a unix system | 15:23 |
| timeless_w7ip | so yeah, it's unfortunate that you found a less travelled path :) | 15:23 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: Just to be clear, I'm NOT accusing you of breaking my device. | 15:23 |

| timeless_w7ip | anyway, generally speaking a terminal on any os will enable you to break stuff | 15:29 |
| timeless_w7ip | and there's an implied contract that you should know what you're doing and remember what you've done | 15:29 |
| kwtm | I see now that there can be just a minority of people who can make things really intimidating for a noob. | 15:29 |
| timeless_w7ip | you can break a windows computer or a macintosh similarly easily if you wield a command prompt | 15:30 |
| mikhas | happens with every community | 15:30 |
| timeless_w7ip | my favorite is OS X w/ file vault | 15:30 |
| timeless_w7ip | if you ssh into a file vault'd user and log out | 15:30 |
| timeless_w7ip | then you'll never be able to log into that user's account again | 15:30 |
| timeless_w7ip | because it doesn't unmount the volume | 15:30 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: Well, at the time we were suspicious of all sorts of packages from extras-devel, so I tried installing half of it at a time, installing different halves and seeing which combination of installed packages resulted in a crash. Which is why I haven't been installing from extras-devel until recently. | 15:30 |
| mikhas | some people feel their opinion has more weight, because they've been there "from the beginning", or so | 15:30 |
| timeless_w7ip | and gets really pissed :) | 15:30 |
| kwtm | mikhas: Yes, I see that now. But at the time I hadn't been on IRC a lot ; I just logged on because I was desperate to make a phone call and my cell phone had crashed. :P | 15:31 |
| timeless_w7ip | kwtm: the reason to be suspicious of third party <Stuff> is because it's usually to blame | 15:31 |
| timeless_w7ip | in this case it was a third party file created by you :) | 15:31 |
| timeless_w7ip | it's easier to finger third party software because that's easier to spot | 15:31 |
| timeless_w7ip | it's also easier to test/revert | 15:31 |
| *** mikhas has quit IRC | 15:32 | |
| jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: that too | 15:32 |
| kwtm | So, going back to the original reason I brought this up: now it's a tradeoff between "don't install from extras-devel because it might break the N900 again!" and "install from extras-devel now before the repository disappears in a Left Behind type scenario!" | 15:32 |

| timeless_w7ip | and test all apps after you install each app | 15:33 |
| timeless_w7ip | but actually | 15:33 |
| timeless_w7ip | the right thing to do is to get someone to mirror it | 15:33 |
| DocScrutinizer | kwtm: I haven't found any *serious* problems with any devel sw | 15:33 |
| kwtm | I ask myself: if I am marooned on an island on the other side of the world, where no one has ever heard of Linux, for how long will I be able to use my smartphone? (This actually happened, btw.) | 15:33 |
| timeless_w7ip | because as i learned, just because you install stuff doesn't mean you won't want to reinstall it later | 15:33 |
| timeless_w7ip | kwtm: your island has cellular/wifi? :) | 15:34 |
| * timeless_w7ip prefers the islands that don't | 15:34 | |
| timeless_w7ip | also, it has A/C? :) | 15:34 |
| timeless_w7ip | again, the islands which don't are better ;) | 15:34 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: I tried installing one app at a time, but because the crash would only happened at odd times, I couldn't actually trigged it to crash. When I realized it was crashing on bootup, then I figured out how to reproduce the fault and it took only 2 hours to zero in on the problem. | 15:34 |
| timeless_w7ip | (wrt installing stuff, i had installed an app i really liked, but it disappeared from its repo, and after reflashing i couldn't reinstall it. had i saved the .deb's i'd have been fine) | 15:35 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: the island in question has wifi/cellular, yes. Also A/C. Also N900's for sale! But no one has heard of Linux. | 15:35 |
| timeless_w7ip | n900's for sale!? wow | 15:35 |
| timeless_w7ip | get me the number for that island! | 15:35 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: It happened before I bought my N900. I had my Treo, and a car charger for it, plus an adapter so I could plug the car charger into a wall socket. | 15:35 |
| * timeless_w7ip nods | 15:36 | |
| timeless_w7ip | still a cool island | 15:36 |
| jacekowski | where is that island | 15:36 |
| kwtm | timeless_w7ip: (The sale price was higher than from Amazon.com) So, anyway... the adapter for the wall socket blew. SO I couldn't charge my Treo. | 15:36 |
| jacekowski | is it australia? | 15:36 |
| kwtm | jacekowski: Hong Kong. | 15:36 |
| timeless_w7ip | that's a rather sizable island :) | 15:36 |

| jacekowski | kwtm: some of them have 12V socket on them | 15:38 |
| kwtm | The Treo (curse you, Palm!) uses a non-standard charger that changes with each model of Treo. | 15:38 |

| jacekowski | is now a law in eu | 15:38 |
| *** rcg has quit IRC | 15:38 | |
| kwtm | So then I looked for a universal battery charger! Guess what --the Treo battery is 2mm too large to fit in. | 15:38 |
| jacekowski | kwtm: no wonder why palm went bust | 15:39 |
| jacekowski | and taken over by hp | 15:39 |
| kwtm | jacekowski: Yeah, I'm so glad there's that standard. Treo sells a USB adapter for charging ... which, with express shipping, would arrive about 2 days after I left Hong Kong. | 15:39 |
| jacekowski | kwtm: isn't most of that stuff made i china anyways | 15:39 |
| kwtm | jacekowski: Hey, I was a relatively early Palm adopter (Palm III was my first), and after they got bought by USRobotics, they were already showing signs of $BIG_COMPANY managing $SMALL_STARTUP | 15:40 |

| *** sq-one has quit IRC | 15:40 | |
| kwtm | jacekowski: Yeah, but you can't buy it in Hong Kong. I asked, "Treo 650?" and they said, "Wasn't that from ancient history? Like, from the Ming dynasty? Everyone's using the Treo 9900000x nowadays --want a charger for *that*?" | 15:40 |
| pupnik | kwtm: can you order things on-line there? | 15:41 |
| kwtm | jacekowski: Then I got the TRGpro, and the HandEra, and then (what a mistake!) the Tungsten SomethingOrOther, and finally the Treo 650, before that charger fiasco made me say: No more Palm! | 15:41 |
| kwtm | pupnik: Yes, but I was only in Hong Kong for 3 weeks, and shipping would take too long. | 15:41 |
| pupnik | ah annoying | 15:41 |

| kwtm | So (not that this conversation is related to Maemo any more) I was so paranoid that I had my Treo off all the time (it was on red-warning-low-battery mode by now) and couldn't rely on the calendar reminders (like "renew travel documents TODAY so you can travel back home!")... | 15:42 |

| kwtm | It turns out that, once I was able to get it charged (finally found a wall charger in some far-off electronics store), the Treo uses practically no battery charge if you don't use it as a cell phone ... | 15:43 |
| pupnik | another nice thing is a spare battery + universal charger, kwtm | 15:43 |

| pupnik | charging over 3.5mm headset - cool idea DocScrutinizer | 16:02 |
| Macer | usb was already a standard | 16:02 |
| DocScrutinizer | BS | 16:02 |
| Macer | and... screw nokia anyways. they suck. nobody wants to follow nokidiot inc | 16:03 |
| timeless_w7ip | isn't usb more like 100 standards? | 16:03 |
| pupnik | i love the idea | 16:03 |
| Macer | :) | 16:03 |
| DocScrutinizer | charging over USB was nothing near any standard. Not even all phones having an USB was any standard, neither defacto nor written | 16:03 |
| ShadowJK | usb wasnt a standard, in fact, many pre-standard usb chargers are incompatible with standards compliant devices :) | 16:04 |
| DocScrutinizer | timeless_w7ip: would you like to kick Macer ? | 16:04 |
| Macer | but i am sure the usb charging was easier to implement as a charging solution | 16:04 |
| Macer | across the board | 16:04 |
| pupnik | but more phones have a 3.5mm jack | 16:04 |
| DocScrutinizer | Macer: not at all. USB charging gives endless headache | 16:04 |
| timeless_w7ip | pupnik: a lot of phones don't though :) | 16:05 |
| DocScrutinizer | see N810, has nice USB hostmode *because* it doesn't need to charge via USB | 16:05 |
| Macer | DocScrutinizer: to you maybe. only time i thought it was an issue was when i couldnt charge and listen to music in headphones on my g1 | 16:05 |
| DocScrutinizer | Macer: who gives a fsck about *your* headache | 16:06 |
| Macer | hahaha | 16:06 |
| DocScrutinizer | are *you* designing the hardware? | 16:06 |

| *** cpt_nemo has quit IRC | 16:07 | |
| DocScrutinizer | so it's their headache as well | 16:07 |
| Macer | i think the goal was to allow charger swapping. he usb stuff was probably already in place to be manufactured whereas developing a "new" standard would require more time.. and most importantly... money | 16:08 |
| DocScrutinizer | and you bet it's been Nokia EE's headache when they found they had to bin hostmode on N900 due to USB charging | 16:08 |
| Macer | nokia could have added a secondary host | 16:09 |
| *** cpt_nemo has joined #maemo | 16:09 | |
| DocScrutinizer | Macer: stop telling BS. 3.5mm barrel is from 1997 as I already explained above. No need to "invent a new standard" | 16:09 |
| Macer | they didnt because it cost too much and they could care less about some usb host mode hackery | 16:09 |
| DocScrutinizer | Macer: no, you mustn't | 16:09 |
| DocScrutinizer | read USB-OTG specs | 16:09 |
| DocScrutinizer | Macer: you're soo err smart. I dunno what to answer | 16:10 |
| ShadowJK | usb charting *was* a new standard. Existing stuff didnt work with it. This is why hostmode is so difficult on n900, they had to add a separate chip to meet the new usb charging standard | 16:10 |

| DocScrutinizer | too bad you fail on trolling as much as you fail on arguing about design considerations and requirements | 16:26 |

| Macer | i gyhink your blood pressure rises too easily over meaningless arguments. start your own phone manufacturing company and you can design the perfect design all you want | 16:34 |
| ZogG | i made meego t-shirt - check it out http://i.imgur.com/bDs9h.png | 16:35 |
| Macer | considering the fact that... you get what you get and have to deal with it | 16:35 |
| DocScrutinizer | fsckoff, go carve your perfect phone for yourself. I'm not interested in your unqualified provocations | 16:35 |
| MohammadAG | float to int doesn't take time right? | 16:36 |
| Macer | :) your choice. | 16:36 |
| Macer | ZogG: thats awesome | 16:36 |
| MohammadAG | <Macer> too bad i cant hook a usb kb up to my n900 <-- can't? | 16:36 |
| alterego | MohammadAG: should take one tick | 16:36 |
| alterego | Or les | 16:36 |
| ZogG | Macer right ah? | 16:36 |
| alterego | ~less depending on architecture. | 16:36 |
| ZogG | MohammadAG, how is my t-shirt? | 16:36 |
| MohammadAG | alterego, ty :) | 16:37 |
| Macer | ZogG: a grave with flowers in front of it with the maemo logo on the headstone would be cool too | 16:37 |
| MohammadAG | lol ZogG | 16:37 |
| MohammadAG | Macer, isn't there an #android channel somewhere? :P | 16:38 |
| DocScrutinizer | what an idiot, claiming X is perfect, then when you explain X is far from being perfect, just a requirement due to Y, he's suggesting "go start your own company to do it better" - how utterly missing the point | 16:38 |
| Macer | MohammadAG: saying maemo is dead doesnt make me hate it. it makes me miss it. | 16:39 |
| Macer | plus.. carman is great | 16:39 |
| alterego | Maemo isn't dead until the last person leaves this channel and the last person doesn't post in tmo .. | 16:39 |
| alterego | And the last device gets abandoned running maemo by the last uesr. | 16:39 |
| alterego | ~user | 16:39 |
| infobot | i heard user is currently detached. Talk to this user upon their return. You will now be ignored. [HackFactor Elite 2.0], or a synonym for moron | 16:39 |
| * SpeedEvil notes there are still a couple of hundred people in #openmoko | 16:39 | |
| MohammadAG | multiplying a float by 100 should make it an int right? | 16:39 |
| Macer | n810 with a windshield mount and the bt obd2 | 16:40 |
| alterego | MohammadAG: no | 16:40 |
| SpeedEvil | Ok - a hundred. | 16:40 |
| alterego | MohammadAG: you have to cast it | 16:40 |
| alterego | MohammadAG: a floats precision isn't just to two decimal places :P | 16:40 |
| MohammadAG | status : buffering status as a fraction (0.0 - 1.0). | 16:41 |
| Macer | SpeedEvil: how did that openmoko work out? | 16:41 |
| MohammadAG | it's not that precise here :P | 16:41 |
| alterego | MohammadAG: ah, then multiply by 100 and cast to an int | 16:41 |
| alterego | To get integer percent, if that's what you're trying to do. | 16:41 |
| MohammadAG | yeah | 16:42 |
| MohammadAG | lemme guess, (int) float? | 16:42 |
| SpeedEvil | Macer: It comedically worked out pretty much exactly like maemo has worked out in many ways. | 16:42 |
| khorben_ | (some Gtk+ controls expect float values) | 16:42 |
| SpeedEvil | Macer: Though nokia asmittedly did produce a _lot_ more functional software stack. | 16:42 |
| MohammadAG | int percentage = (int) buffer*100 <-- i.e like that? | 16:42 |
| Macer | SpeedEvil: ah. thought quite a few people got freerunners | 16:43 |
| khorben_ | int p = (int)(buffer*100); /* is better I think */ | 16:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | SpeedEvil: while the OM one is a lot more open ;-D | 16:43 |
| SpeedEvil | But - changing toolkits mid-stream, and back again - delays in hardware, company deciding it'd ratehr do other things than linux phones. | 16:43 |
| SpeedEvil | All parallels. | 16:43 |
| SpeedEvil | Macer: ~5-10K | 16:43 |
| SpeedEvil | Macer: Whereas the n900 probably sold that in the first day or three of preorder. | 16:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | SpeedEvil: afaik 12k | 16:44 |
| Macer | only because of the nokia name | 16:44 |
| Macer | ;) | 16:44 |
| Macer | n900 did have so much promise tho. it is a shame | 16:44 |
| Macer | i sometimes think companies try to reduce fun on their devices on purpose | 16:45 |
| kerio | it's because they're idiots | 16:45 |
| Macer | because if you are able to keep a phone awesome for 10 years nobody will buy one of your new ones | 16:45 |
| Macer | :) | 16:45 |
| khorben_ | (sony ps3 + linux) | 16:46 |
| kerio | if you're able to keep a phone awesome for 10 years but you make even more awesome phones, you'll still sell well | 16:46 |
| Macer | the cooperate mentality | 16:46 |
| DocScrutinizer | SpeedEvil: at least "we" released all we possibly could, enabling 'the community' to continue developing on a proper sw stack, which actually is an ongoing effort | 16:46 |
| Macer | kerio: yeah. i think that too | 16:46 |
| DocScrutinizer | so in a number of regards OM is more alive than maemo | 16:46 |
| kerio | i have no idea what to buy after the n900 as of now :( | 16:46 |
| Macer | kerio: hah. get a nokia winmob phone | 16:47 |
| khorben_ | is it obsolete? | 16:47 |
| Macer | and find out how to install meego on it | 16:47 |
| DocScrutinizer | SpeedEvil: any if there's anything still missing to get published, I'm more than happy to help out | 16:47 |
| kerio | khorben_: no, but i always want new shiny toys anyway | 16:47 |
| khorben_ | ah, that's another issue :p | 16:47 |
| kerio | there's no toy that's sufficiently shiny and sufficiently open as of now :( | 16:48 |
| khorben_ | that's plenty of time to improve OSS support then :) | 16:49 |
| SpeedEvil | DocScrutinizer: calypso firmware source? :) | 16:49 |
| SpeedEvil | DocScrutinizer: but indeed - OM is much more open than n900. | 16:49 |
| DocScrutinizer | query me, but don't rise hopes too high. Not even OM got more than maybe 10% of it | 16:50 |
| DocScrutinizer | and that'S the boring 10% | 16:50 |
| SpeedEvil | In practice, I'm not interested really. | 16:50 |
| SpeedEvil | I don't have the time or skills to give it the poking it should have, even if I did have it. | 16:50 |
| khorben_ | osmocom ftw | 16:51 |
| DocScrutinizer | all you can poke is AT interpreter and hw tty handshake | 16:51 |
| DocScrutinizer | or go osmocom | 16:51 |
| *** mikhas has joined #maemo | 16:51 | |
| SpeedEvil | Yeah. I'm meaning similar to osmocom. | 16:51 |
| kerio | why can't we get at least *the source* to rapuyama anyway? | 16:52 |
| SpeedEvil | But starting from working code. | 16:52 |
| *** federico2 has left #maemo | 16:52 | |
| SpeedEvil | kerio: trade secrets. | 16:52 |
| DocScrutinizer | osmocom is based on that featurephone calypso FW, so it's more of a working code (in %) than I could share to you from 'official' OM sources | 16:52 |
| *** dangergrrl has joined #maemo | 16:53 | |
| dangergrrl | how do you get sip in .au? | 16:53 |
| *** crashanddie has quit IRC | 16:53 | |
| SpeedEvil | Indeed. | 16:55 |
| kerio | s/trade secrets/the code is really, really, really awful and kludgy/ | 16:56 |
| dangergrrl | it was a serious question | 16:56 |
| DocScrutinizer | kerio: yeah, cert issues and trade secrets. But even when you get that source it won't help a lot, as you can't mess with it. It's locked like milestone. You can't flash without signing the image with a private key that is in Nokia's steel safe | 16:56 |
| kerio | DocScrutinizer: yeah but figuring out what it can do could help | 16:56 |
| DocScrutinizer | yep | 16:57 |

| jacekowski | can you verify that pin 1 | 17:17 |
| jacekowski | on plug | 17:17 |
| DocScrutinizer | actually it's also the contact which is most prone to problems, as receptacles often use a switch on that one, with a 5th pin | 17:17 |
| jacekowski | 1,2,3,4 | 17:17 |
| jacekowski | where 4 is gnd | 17:17 |

| DocScrutinizer | dangergrrl: you might want to not spread those details in open channel | 17:19 |

| DocScrutinizer | great, so now we need to separate pull-to-GND by N95 from pull-2-gnd by hs | 17:39 |
| DocScrutinizer | easiest way: have a 10R on mic line, and probe both ends with 2 sync chan | 17:40 |
| jacekowski | different voltage lefels | 17:40 |
| jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: first pull to gnd is from headset, next block is from phone next from hs and next from phone | 17:41 |

| jacekowski | hmm | 18:02 |
| jacekowski | burst on plug in is too long for me to read | 18:02 |

| MohammadAG | god mafw is messed up for radio | 18:07 |
| MohammadAG | TITLE = artist + album apparently | 18:08 |
| DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: seems like shortest pulses are in the range of 0.1ms | 18:09 |
| *** frade has joined #maemo | 18:09 | |
| DocScrutinizer | so oversampling at 20ks/s should do | 18:10 |
| SpeedEvil | jacekowski++ | 18:11 |
| DocScrutinizer | we'd probably need a kernel driver that directly reads the GPIO connected to the comparators | 18:11 |
| *** muellisoft has joined #maemo | 18:11 | |
| DocScrutinizer | SpeedEvil: yeah, he's the hero of the day, isn't he? | 18:11 |
| jacekowski | that negotiation on plug in may not be important | 18:12 |
| jacekowski | as long as phone responds something | 18:12 |
| jacekowski | headset will send buttons | 18:12 |
| DocScrutinizer | I think we can revamp the OMHDQ driver for that | 18:13 |
| MohammadAG | and that's radio playback sorted in the OMP, finally | 18:13 |
| *** Puchaty has joined #maemo | 18:13 | |
| DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: yeah. As mentioned before, that obscure driver source for the MCU based hs controller suggested it is 'readout of config storage' | 18:14 |
| MohammadAG | 552.0k <-- not too bad | 18:15 |
| *** mveplus has joined #maemo | 18:16 | |
| DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: so I guess all that is happening at plugin is hs telling "I'm ACME-556, and I have: mic, stereo headphones, and the buttons: vol+, vol-, pause-play, call, ..." | 18:17 |

| DocScrutinizer | joejoe: I think yes, it should. I seem to recall I knew how to do it (some dbus call, or parameters on calling backup app as cmd) as I pondered to do backups automatically via cronjob aka alarmed. Alas I have to confess I never got to really set up things like that and I forgot about details | 23:01 |

| DocScrutinizer | you messed up (moved/deleted/uninstalled) some localization files | 23:17 |
| DocScrutinizer | or the LOCALE/LANG setting itself | 23:17 |
| DocScrutinizer | first you might try to select another language in settings | 23:18 |
| *** Rarok has joined #maemo | 23:19 | |
| DocScrutinizer | then, if that doesn't help, you probably want to ask timeless_wp7 how to fix the messed up .po files | 23:19 |
| n900n00byy | thx DocScrutinizer, but this did not help :( where should be the locale/lang folder ? | 23:22 |
| DocScrutinizer | /usr/share/locale | 23:23 |

| jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: bad news | 23:26 |
| jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: it's not going to work | 23:26 |
| DocScrutinizer | thnen restore all apps from backup app | 23:26 |
| jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: Vbias on N900 is only 2-2.5V | 23:26 |
| DocScrutinizer | :-O | 23:26 |
| jacekowski | not 3.3 as on n95 | 23:26 |
| jacekowski | 2.5 with nothing connected | 23:26 |
| DocScrutinizer | and how much does that sh*t need? | 23:26 |
| jacekowski | 2V on load | 23:26 |
| DocScrutinizer | ugh | 23:27 |
| jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: N95 provides 3.3 | 23:27 |
| DocScrutinizer | WTF?! | 23:27 |
| jacekowski | hmm | 23:27 |
| DocScrutinizer | I'll compare N95 and N900 circuit around micbias | 23:27 |
| MohammadAG | jacekowski, can you check a different device? | 23:27 |
| jacekowski | wait | 23:27 |
| jacekowski | hmm | 23:27 |
| jacekowski | emm | 23:28 |
| jacekowski | no | 23:28 |
| jacekowski | i looked at it incorrectl | 23:28 |
| DocScrutinizer | a lot of micbias sources have selectable / configurable voltage | 23:28 |
| *** lxp1 has quit IRC | 23:28 | |
| jacekowski | it is 2.5V on n95 | 23:28 |
| jacekowski | hmm | 23:28 |
| MohammadAG | one question though, the N95 was the first device with TV-out, you sure it's for the buttons and not that? | 23:29 |
| *** mikhas has joined #maemo | 23:29 | |
| DocScrutinizer | but 3.3V would be quite a bit too hig for that OMFG specs | 23:29 |
| jacekowski | i think that 3.3V i had came from my pc micbias | 23:29 |
| jacekowski | that i was measuring | 23:29 |
| DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: AV doesn't need DC | 23:29 |
| MohammadAG | DocScrutinizer, what about its detection? | 23:30 |
| MohammadAG | or is that done with the 4th pin? | 23:30 |
| jacekowski | that's a good question | 23:30 |
| jacekowski | how is that done | 23:30 |
| DocScrutinizer | detection is via mic as well, but that'S same thing - micbias | 23:31 |
| jacekowski | MohammadAG: do you have a scope? | 23:31 |
| jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: have you looked at files i've sent you | 23:31 |
| jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: and do you know that oo.o can do graphs as well | 23:31 |
| SpeedEvil | For these frequencies - audio card line in would work OK | 23:31 |
| jacekowski | it's square wave | 23:32 |
| jacekowski | and sound card i bet has low pass filter | 23:32 |
| DocScrutinizer | well, I always thought I sometimes heard a tiny click when I pressed button of mubu-hs plugged to N900. According to the diagrams it's a real thing | 23:32 |
| DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: yes | 23:32 |
| DocScrutinizer | and yes | 23:32 |
| MohammadAG | <DocScrutinizer> detection is via mic as well, but that'S same thing - micbias <-- so doesn't it need VBUS? | 23:32 |
| DocScrutinizer | you've seen my battery charge graph done in ooo? | 23:33 |
| MohammadAG | jacekowski, I'm assuming you mean an oscilloscope, if so, nope, I'm no EE, yet | 23:33 |
| DocScrutinizer | VBUS? | 23:33 |
| MohammadAG | err, voltage | 23:33 |
| DocScrutinizer | VBUS is a USB thing | 23:33 |
| jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: no | 23:33 |
| MohammadAG | sorry, got used to hostmode discussions when talking about voltage | 23:33 |
| DocScrutinizer | yes,it is using same micbias voltage that's supposed to be 2..2.8V via 2kR | 23:34 |
| *** scoobertron has joined #maemo | 23:34 | |
| jacekowski | yeah | 23:34 |
| jacekowski | hmm | 23:34 |
| jacekowski | i have an idea | 23:34 |
| jacekowski | i'll play with my AWG tomorrow | 23:35 |
| DocScrutinizer | http://members.omtp.org/Lists/ReqPublications/Attachments/36/OMTP_Local_Connectivity_Wired_Analogue_Audio_v1_0.pdf | 23:35 |
| jacekowski | and maybe i can talk to it | 23:35 |
| jacekowski | with just that | 23:35 |
| DocScrutinizer | AWG? | 23:35 |
| jacekowski | arbitrary waveform generator | 23:35 |
| DocScrutinizer | yeah | 23:35 |
| DocScrutinizer | but you'd probably want to duplicate the exact bit pattern that gets sent to hs by device to start session | 23:36 |
| DocScrutinizer | it's for sure not only a freq burst | 23:36 |
| *** SmilyOrg has joined #maemo | 23:36 | |
| DocScrutinizer | it's a sort of cmd or at least sync byte | 23:36 |
| jacekowski | no need | 23:37 |
| DocScrutinizer | ? | 23:37 |
| jacekowski | when i unplugged and plugged hs from my extension cable | 23:37 |
| DocScrutinizer | yeah? | 23:37 |
| jacekowski | it talked to phone for a lot shorter period of time | 23:37 |
| jacekowski | than when i plugged it in and out of phone | 23:37 |
| jacekowski | so it looks like hs just expects any valid communication | 23:38 |
| DocScrutinizer | I meant that initial 8bit(?) burst sent from device to hs after hs said "click" | 23:38 |
| jacekowski | yeah | 23:39 |
| DocScrutinizer | the burst from ~5..~10 on time in http://gallery.jacekowski.org/main.php?g2_itemId=1093 | 23:39 |
| DocScrutinizer | you need to duplicate that | 23:40 |
| *** SmilybOrg has quit IRC | 23:40 | |
| DocScrutinizer | I guess | 23:40 |
| *** jhb has quit IRC | 23:40 | |
| jacekowski | yeah | 23:40 |
| DocScrutinizer | that's why I asked if you think it's exact enough in your diagrams so I can "decode" | 23:40 |
| DocScrutinizer | a new diagram with a time base 10 times faster would help a lot | 23:41 |
| yourself | I love the N900 | 23:41 |
| DocScrutinizer | just showing this initial burst, and maybe the leading click | 23:41 |
| DocScrutinizer | also comparing first dev-orig burst and hs-answer with second one would be really interesting | 23:42 |
| *** Omegamoon has left #maemo | 23:43 | |

| jacekowski | ehh | 23:44 |
| jacekowski | use civilised format | 23:44 |
| jacekowski | doc or docs | 23:44 |
| jacekowski | docx | 23:44 |
| jacekowski | not something i can't open | 23:44 |
| DocScrutinizer | that's a diagram in ooo | 23:44 |
| *** kwtm has joined #maemo | 23:50 | |
| kwtm | Hi. Need help with usb networking. The wiki on maemo.org is unclear: it says "You can also add the following lines to set the default route correctly " Does this mean it's optional, or I NEED to add the following lines? This is referring to "up route del default" and "up route add default gw 192.168.2.14" | 23:52 |
| *** shanttu has quit IRC | 23:52 | |
| BCMM | kwtm: do you want to talk to the internet, or just to the machine on the other end of the cable? | 23:53 |
| BCMM | btw, would you mind linking that wiki page? | 23:53 |
| kwtm | BCMM: Just the machine. I plan to use fish:/ as a file transfer protocol. (Also being able to ssh into the N900 would be nice when I'm not able to have both machines connect to the same router.) | 23:53 |
| BCMM | i haven't had it set up nicely since i last flashed | 23:53 |
| DocScrutinizer | depends if some other mechanism did the route setup for you previously. Just check route with `route`, and add the route as suggested if it's not yet there | 23:54 |
| kwtm | I guess an easy ... ah, thanks DocScrutinizer | 23:54 |
| BCMM | kwtm: you don't need the route then | 23:54 |
| BCMM | kwtm: btw, sftp:// should perform better | 23:54 |
| BCMM | (provided you've got an openssh server. won't work with dropbear.) | 23:54 |
| kwtm | BCMM: I've had bad luck with sftp://, and now all my scripts have standardized on fish:// | 23:55 |
| BCMM | ok | 23:55 |
| BCMM | using what software, btw? | 23:55 |
| kwtm | DocScrutinizer: Ok, $(route) is blank. So I guess I need to add the route. But right now "ifconfig usb0" (as root) does not even show an IP address even though it says "RUNNING". Is this a problem or will the "route" add in the IP address? | 23:56 |
| kwtm | BCMM: You mean to ssh? Well, commandline (OpenSSH), rsync -e ssh, KDE Kparts, etc. | 23:56 |
| BCMM | kwtm: i mean, what fish client | 23:56 |
| BCMM | ah, kioslaves | 23:56 |
| kwtm | Also, what's the difference between "sudo gainroot" and "root"? | 23:57 |
| DocScrutinizer | no, you need to have proper IP addr for NIC prior to setting up route | 23:57 |
| BCMM | (kparts aren't the bits that handle the transfer protocols) | 23:57 |
| kwtm | BCMM: Well, there's also mc (midnight commander) | 23:57 |
| BCMM | kwtm: iirc, they've fixed the sftp:// ioslave in the next version of kde | 23:57 |
| kwtm | DocScrutinizer: Yeah, how does that work? Does my laptop need to have a DHCP server? I see the default is 192.168.2.15 for the N900 and .14 for the laptop, but does the laptop know that? | 23:57 |
| DocScrutinizer | sftp:// works just fine here (not tested via USB but that shouldn't matter) | 23:58 |
| kwtm | BCMM: I'm afraid I haven't placed much faith in "the next version of KDE" ... but anyway, fish:// seems to be a good common denominator and all my scripts from KDE3 are using fish. | 23:58 |
| DocScrutinizer | no, your desktop doesn't know that magically | 23:58 |
| kwtm | (note: I'm using KDE4 ... but only have time to migrate what I need.) | 23:58 |
| *** retro|cz has joined #maemo | 23:58 | |
| DocScrutinizer | you should config the NIC with ifconfig | 23:59 |
| kwtm | DocScrutinizer: Are you referring to my laptop or the N900? ("you should config the NIC with ifconfig") | 23:59 |
| DocScrutinizer | btw on your PC you don't need a route set for the USB nic, unless you want to access internet via N900 modem | 23:59 |
| kwtm | I mean, my laptop is already assigned a (different , I might add) IP address already. | 23:59 |
