IRC log of #maemo for Saturday, 2011-04-30

DocScrutinizerif that's actually the case then that's a flaw that's hard to fix. Just avoid changing profile during call then00:00
cityLightsand then if I switch back to general the audio restarts again00:00
cityLightsMohammadAG: good night , can you help me do this in python?00:01

cityLightsI looked at https://gitorious.org/pymaemo/python-mafw/blobs/master/examples/source_browsing.py00:01

*** mc_teo has quit IRC00:03
cityLightsbut can't really tell what it means00:03
DocScrutinizeractually switching profiles during a call is a rather bizarre idea. Could happen accidentally by automatic profile switchers, so the profile switcher should catch that situation and postpone the actaul switching til after call finished00:03

cityLights~seen shapeshifter00:10
infobotshapeshifter is currently on #maemo (1d 8h 21m 35s). Has said a total of 17 messages. Is idling for 1d 6h 11m 40s, last said: 'cityLights: or you add specific names/ids to the events you create on the queue and then parse it but it seems bothersome'.00:10
cityLightsshapeshifter: can you shade light on using python-mafw?00:10

*** Kilroo1 has joined #maemo00:24
*** Kilroo has quit IRC00:24
cityLightsassume I am having a call , and during that time a meeting begins00:25
MohammadAGcityLights, I showed you how I do it00:25
MohammadAGhttp://gitorious.org/qt-mediaplayer/mediaplayer/blobs/master/mafw/mafwrendereradapter.cpp#line33700:25
DocScrutinizercityLights: yes, so you wait until call finished, then switch profile00:25

*** Kilroo1 has quit IRC00:27
DocScrutinizeryou don't really want the device to switch profile during a call, as a call has its own profile anyway. That's why switching profile during a call does weird things00:27
*** SmilyOrg has quit IRC00:27
*** mece has quit IRC00:28
DocScrutinizeractually that's a flaw in profile switcher (lib?) which should postpone the real switching to another mixer setting until after call has finished. I'm quite sure Nokia missed that "race condition"00:29
cityLightsI also had a better question00:29
*** EdLin has left #maemo00:29
*** jpe has quit IRC00:29
DocScrutinizerso you should do it in your own app, check if a call is in progress, and if yess then wait until you see call-finished on dbus, then set your new profile00:29

cityLightscan I leave a hook to call a function after a program terminates?00:30
*** mpoirier has quit IRC00:30
DocScrutinizerumm, not generally00:31
cityLightsassume I want my program to run when even the calender db is changed00:31
cityLightsmust I use dbus-script to hunt this call?00:31
DocScrutinizeryou can use inotify to get a callback on files changing00:31
DocScrutinizeryou can use a wrapper around specific apps to call something after main app finished00:32
DocScrutinizeryou can poll ps to tell when a process finished00:32
cityLightsI want the program to quit, and only leave when a meeting is about to start OR the calender db is changed00:32
DocScrutinizerbut I'm not aware of any means other than monitor like strace/gdb to get a notification at quit of an arbitrary process00:32
DocScrutinizercalendar db changed is easily catchable via inotify00:33
GAN900Jaffa, can you easily figure out who wrote what percentage of each article (excepting C&P quotes) from EtherPad?00:34
DocScrutinizersee how e.g trackerd is montitoring files and whole directories for any change00:34
GAN900Then use that to decide who to attribute.00:34
GAN900(or is that just waaay overcomplicating things. . . .)00:34
DocScrutinizerlo gan00:35
*** E0x has quit IRC00:35
GAN900Hey-ho00:35
cityLightsquestion is how is more expensive inotify or dbus-scripts00:37
*** mirsal has joined #maemo00:37
*** ketas has quit IRC00:37
cityLightswell I guess I'll wait for some one that knows how to change the volume from python00:38
cityLightsand read it00:38
*** ketas has joined #maemo00:38
DocScrutinizercityLights: so you set up an inotify monitor on calendar.db file, and every time you get notification it has changed you can scan it for events that have a 'magic' comment like "Xprofile=meeting"00:39
DocScrutinizerthen you pass the change-profile alarm events to alarmed, after deleting your old ones00:40
DocScrutinizerdone you are00:40
DocScrutinizerthe change-profile_during_call issue is a bug that should get handled in whatever system actually is dealing with the profile stuff in maemo00:41
cityLightsI need to learn about inotify00:41
cityLightsI guess its a service that needs to be running00:41
DocScrutinizerinotify is some sort of kernel service I think00:41
DocScrutinizeractually ilesystem00:41
cityLightsquestion is how expensive it is00:42
DocScrutinizerit's really cheap, best you can get00:42
DocScrutinizerman 7 inotify00:42
*** BCMM has joined #maemo00:42
*** mirsal has quit IRC00:43
DocScrutinizer>>The inotify API provides a mechanism for monitoring file system events.  Inotify can be used to monitor individual files, or to monitor directories.  When a directory is monitored, inotify will return  events  for  the  directory       itself, and for files inside the directory.00:43

cityLightsok00:44
*** rtghuzhg has joined #maemo00:45
*** thomasjfox has quit IRC00:45
BCMMcityLights: inotify isn't a daemon or anything; it's a kernel API00:51
cityLightsok00:51
BCMMthe kernel itself notifies you when a file is modified, and no polling happens00:51
BCMMpresumably, it hooks directly into file access stuff or something00:52
BCMMdoesn't matter, point is there is no polling and therefore effectively 0 overhead00:52
DocScrutinizer51yup, fs inodes00:52
DocScrutinizer51I'd guess00:52
*** billmania has quit IRC00:53
cehtehwell it eats some kernel resources (memory) when you watch many files00:53
BCMMi did say "effectively" :)00:53
DocScrutinizer51yes, really lighweight and best you can get except direct notification from the process that changes that file00:53
BCMMBeagle desktop search is often configured to have inotify watches on a user's entire home directory (so it knows when to update search indices), and this doesn't seem to cause any trouble00:53
cityLightsok , got that , can anyone please help me get the volume level in python?00:54
cityLightsI am lost in google with00:54
cityLightsMafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer00:54
cityLightsMafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin gives me an equlizer plugin00:55
BCMMcityLights: have a look at phone-control00:55
cityLightsneed I find a gstremer answer?00:55
cityLightsyes, I am looking to use python-mafw00:55

DocScrutinizercityLights: I did the fancy to try and change profile during call. Waht's the problem you're facing?01:05
DocScrutinizermeh01:05
DocScrutinizercityLights: worked flawlessly for me01:06
*** MadViking has joined #maemo01:07
DocScrutinizerI changed the profile via status menu01:07
DocScrutinizerseveral times, to different profiles, incl silent01:07
DocScrutinizerspeakerphone continued without any problem, silent mode took effect on everything (except phonecall of course) when I tested it after call ended01:10
DocScrutinizercityLights: so what's your problem? why do you need to mess around with volume setting, on changing profile?01:11
cityLightspls try issueing the profile change from a terminal using the dbus-send01:12
DocScrutinizerok01:12
DocScrutinizerwill do01:13
* telmich has the problem since today that I don't hear anything on a phonecall, nor does the other side hear me01:13
*** ketas has quit IRC01:13
telmichI've checked the volume control, but did not see any obvious problem - any hint on what me be wrong?01:13

DocScrutinizerMohammadAG: please can you check which one of PR1.3 or CSSU is causing breakage of http://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control#List_all_profiles01:21
MohammadAGnone01:22
DocScrutinizerMohammadAG: I defined new profiles with tweakr, I can select them as usual via status menu, but they don't show up in that dbus call anymore01:22
MohammadAGWhy blame the CSSU? profiled's closed01:22
DocScrutinizerthey do on my pr1.2PK system01:23
MohammadAGThen it's probably PR1.301:23

DocScrutinizerOUCH!!!!01:23

MohammadAGyou said or CSSU01:23
GAN900I wish they hadn't used those horrible icons.01:23
MohammadAGit's not the CSSU then :p01:23
MohammadAGagain profiled's closed source afaik01:23
*** FIQ|n900 has joined #maemo01:24
MohammadAGand even if it was open, I never changed anything01:24
GAN900Stupid squares are hard to differentiate.01:24
MohammadAGGAN900, unity?01:24
DocScrutinizerwell whatever it is, it worked e.g in alarmed to switch profiles to user custom profiles. Now I'm stuck with fsckng "general" and "silent"01:25
MohammadAGto me it looks like they went with a Windows 7-ish style launcher01:25
DocScrutinizerfirst of all, can you confirm please?01:25
*** _0x47 has joined #maemo01:26
DocScrutinizermight be just me and a borked database or sth01:26
*** C-S-B has joined #maemo01:26

* MohammadAG installs tweakr01:26
*** Roksteady has quit IRC01:26
cityLightsDocScrutinizer: thnaks for all your help01:27
DocScrutinizercityLights: yw. Thanks for pushing my nose into this annoying bug01:27
cityLightsI am still strugelling with pythona dn dbus and get volume level01:27
cityLightshow to fix it?01:27
cityLightsneed I report it?01:28
DocScrutinizerno clue yet. I ran into that http://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control#List_all_profiles bug halfway to trying to confirm your bug. Both might well be related01:28
cityLightshaha01:29
cityLightsfound it!01:29
cityLightspersistence is good01:29
cityLightsand a speller also01:30
*** shanttu has quit IRC01:30
MohammadAGDocScrutinizer, I'm pretty sure tweakr doesn't add a profile to profiled01:32
DocScrutinizerhmm, yet it does here01:32
cityLightsmay I add this to the wiki? or to publish in talk?01:33
*** hoax__ has quit IRC01:33
*** hoax__ has joined #maemo01:33
*** chenca has quit IRC01:33
MohammadAGanyway, yeah, only returns general and silent01:34
*** GNUtoo|laptop has quit IRC01:35
DocScrutinizerthis quite effectively breaks whole profile function01:37
*** diegohcg has quit IRC01:39
DocScrutinizerMMPF!!! on t900 (pr1.2+++) it also returns solent and general only, yet alarmed knows about my custom profiles01:39
DocScrutinizerso we'd need to ask Shapeshifter how he managed to accomplish this miracle01:40
*** scoobertron has quit IRC01:40
DocScrutinizeraside from that dbus-call seems has always been borked01:40
*** Rarok has quit IRC01:41
*** kwtm has joined #maemo01:41
cityLightssorry01:41
DocScrutinizeryet something different broke from pr1.2 -> pr1.3.3.701:41
cityLightsbut I do want to report it - may I01:41
cityLights?01:41
DocScrutinizerthat something is what shapeshifter is using to determine his profiles offered for switching-profile function01:42
DocScrutinizerreport what exactly?01:42
DocScrutinizercityLights: of course you're free to report whatever you like, anytime you like. I just want to make sure your report is actually helping to trace down and fix the root cause01:43
DocScrutinizercityLights: which profiles you got to switch between them?01:43
cityLightssilent and general01:44
DocScrutinizer:nod:01:44
cityLightsbut I must to this tommorow01:44
cityLightsjust dont let me forget01:44
DocScrutinizernah, we'll pick that up tomorrow for sure. I need to get me a beer in my pub now01:45
cityLightscheers mate01:46
*** baraujo has quit IRC01:47
DocScrutinizerif anybody's wondering what to do to fight the boredom: there's Shapeshifter's alarmed app waiting to have a look into it to find how the profiles there are obtained and manage to show the user profiles created by tweakr, while the dbus-call recommended there http://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control#List_all_profiles fails to do that01:48
DocScrutinizercheers, bbl01:48

*** florian has quit IRC01:50
*** Natunen has quit IRC01:51
*** willer_ has quit IRC01:51
DocScrutinizeron a lower hurdle, anybody with a plain PR1.3 could install tweakr, create a custom profile, install alarmed and see if that profile is shown in "new event switch profile" in alarmed01:51
MohammadAGagain, profiled's closed...01:52
DocScrutinizernevertheless01:53
DocScrutinizerI noticed the status menu profile switching broke when I changed the icon sequence in status bar01:54
DocScrutinizerso while profiled may be closed and unchanged, anything else may cause this problem with profiled01:55
DocScrutinizerI got two systems here, one is working, the other one not. It's normal to try and narrow down what exactly caused the break01:57

kwtmMohammadAG: So, continuing our conversation from #ubuntu, how do I "apt-get --download-only install" my N900 *.deb packages so that I can retain them instead of having them disappear in a puff of smoke?  I intend to store them on my home system so that, if for some reason I lose Net connectivity on the N900, I can still reinstall by packages without needing an accessible Maemo repository.02:23
*** Wamanuz5 has quit IRC02:23
MohammadAGkwtm, you want to clone the whole repo?02:24
MohammadAGapt-mirror afaik, merlin1991 should know about that02:24
MohammadAGI keep my /var/cache/apt/archives on MyDocs, reflashing + restoring doesn't take more than 30 mins02:25
kwtmMohammadAG: No, just the packages I download.  I mean, I downloaded them, I might as well hang on to them if I've got room on the 1TB drive so I don't have to download them again.02:25
kwtmMohammadAG: Wait, /var/cache/apt/archives exists?  I thought the N900 automagically Houdini'd them afterward "for better efficiency".02:26
kwtmJust like how the man files disappear.02:26
MohammadAGkwtm, well, not if you use HAM02:26
MohammadAGactually there's a way to disable purging packages by HAM02:27
MohammadAGnot in the GUI though02:27
kwtmMohammadAG: Oh, so manual "apt-get install" will preserve them, then?02:27
MohammadAGand yeah, it exists02:27
MohammadAG1.4G    MyDocs/archives02:27
MohammadAGyep02:28
MohammadAGjust move them to MyDocs, / won't hold a lot of packages :P02:28

anathaemathat's what i bought it for and it delivers04:12
anathaemawith a vibrant open source community behind it04:13
TronicThere's no question about that but my point is that it is also a pretty good phone if not counting the lousy battely life.04:13
anathaemaactually i have issues with losi8ng calls before the phone app can load into ram if i have too much software running04:14
TronicBetter address book than many other phones have, support for vcards (this appears to be missing from Apple products), easy access to phone from home screen (missing from most smartphones), automatic recording of phonecalls with no beeps or length limitations...04:15
anathaemai'm wanting to integrate a pandaboard into my gl1500 though which is based on the arm cortex A9 dual core 1ghz04:15
anathaemadunno what os i'll use yet04:15
TronicFor me there aren't that many options.04:16
anathaemai'm thinking of using meego on it04:16
TronicI'll stick with Maemo for a long time but I'll get better hardware if possible.04:16

DocScrutinizeros.system is fine if there's an existing cmdline binary doing exactly what you need, the binary is powerful and thus large in memsize, and the function you need in your program is only occasional and temporary. Then os.system will reduce both your development and testing load, and your program's avrg memory footprint16:12

DocScrutinizeryou do NOT want to follow this os.system scheme if the function you need has to be very fast and realtime in a sense of t_response<100ms (for a ballpark), or you are dealing with system critical stuff that must not fail ever16:15

DocScrutinizertypical candidates you do NOT want to call via os.system: echo (too simple and small), hdparm to park disk heads on free fall (too slow), shutdown (mustn't fail due to e.g low_on_ram condition)  --  Typical candidates for a call via os.system: sed, grep, find...16:21
