*** Wamanuz has joined #maemo | 00:02 | |
DocScrutinizer | before they even start to think about 'looking good' they need a new platform as the old one got obsolete | 00:02 |
Venemo | DocScrutinizer, so, what is it that's got obsolete? | 00:03 |
DocScrutinizer | that's why SHR not seen any testing not to mention stable release since ~2 years, afaik | 00:03 |

DocScrutinizer | [9 months later] "\o/ we got modem to connect to GPRS" | 00:20 |
Venemo | why is it that all these ports of various projects suck so miserable? | 00:21 |
Venemo | miserably* | 00:21 |
DocScrutinizer | becuase devels take no pride in *finalizing* things | 00:21 |
nox- | lack of manpower? | 00:21 |
SpeedEvil | Venemo: Funding. | 00:21 |
Venemo | and why is the phone modem always the barrier? | 00:21 |
ShadowJK | Maybe it's actually hard and maybe it takes actual effort? :-) | 00:21 |
SpeedEvil | Venemo: Maemo probably had well over a thousand paid devs involved. | 00:22 |
SpeedEvil | Venemo: Lack of documents. | 00:22 |
Venemo | nor meego, nor nitdroid, nor SHR, neither of them manages to actually make a phone call. | 00:22 |
SpeedEvil | The many-eyes fallacy. | 00:22 |
Venemo | lack of docs may be a good excuse for Nitdroid or SHR, but not for MeeGo | 00:22 |
SpeedEvil | The many eyes hypothesis is that with enough eyes, all bugs are shallow. | 00:22 |
SpeedEvil | The problem is that this is only true for 'pure' code. | 00:22 |
Venemo | "many-eyes" requires "many eyes" who _care_ | 00:22 |
SpeedEvil | Once you start to get into hardware - the number of devs who would have a clue plummets. | 00:23 |
SpeedEvil | So have a clue * care = ~0 | 00:23 |
SpeedEvil | And progress stalls. | 00:23 |
Venemo | I see. | 00:23 |
ShadowJK | Meego makes phonecalls now :-) | 00:23 |
Venemo | ShadowJK, nope, it doesn't | 00:23 |
Venemo | not for me anyway | 00:23 |
DocScrutinizer | SHR also does afaik, just sound is missing | 00:23 |
Venemo | heheh | 00:23 |
Venemo | phone call without sound is not phone call by definition. | 00:24 |
ShadowJK | The phone calls part actually requires some code writing :-) | 00:24 |
DocScrutinizer | maybe that changed though, during last 12h | 00:24 |
Venemo | also, MeeGo can't connect to wifi either, and the handset ux sucks | 00:24 |
*** zap has quit IRC | 00:24 | |
Venemo | they have made a _VERY_ good job on its performance however | 00:24 |
ShadowJK | I think the idea of upstreaming everything came from the frustration of all the hw having custom drivers that break with every new release of everything else | 00:25 |
Venemo | yeah | 00:25 |
Venemo | and that's a good point | 00:25 |
DocScrutinizer | SpeedEvil: (progress stalls) and when somebody with a clue * interest points them to a flaw, to better code, to the problems involved for battery life etc, then it's "duh, we are no kernel hackers, so we gonna use what's upstream" | 00:25 |
*** e-yes has quit IRC | 00:26 | |
ShadowJK | But then you also need people with the passion, attention to detail, motivation, and most of all, time, to write code that gets accepted upstream | 00:26 |
SpeedEvil | Indeed. | 00:27 |
SpeedEvil | And sometimes upstream appear to be ass-hats. | 00:27 |
Venemo | DocScrutinizer, at this point, I think some piece of OSS software is much better destined to succeed than those that target phones. simply because they don't have to hack around the cell modem. (seems that the cell modem is always the most evil thing) | 00:27 |
Venemo | meh | 00:27 |
SpeedEvil | It's really not that. | 00:27 |
SpeedEvil | Well - not that alone. | 00:27 |
Venemo | DocScrutinizer, at this point, I think some piece of OSS software which targets _Tablets_ is much better destined to succeed than those that target _phones_. simply because they don't have to hack around the cell modem. (seems that the cell modem is always the most evil thing) | 00:27 |
ShadowJK | And these things are more complicated than you think. For example, I am more than able myself of writing code to control the battery gauge and battery charger hardware of the N900, but I would have no friggin clue about how to get it integrated and working together with the Linux kernel, let alone working together with any operating system ontop of the kernel | 00:27 |
DocScrutinizer | even worse, you need somebody to "defend the new code, maintain it, and you will have a hard time to explain why the existing driver can't get fixed and API has to change" | 00:28 |
SpeedEvil | A cellphone is a _fucking_huge_ codebase. | 00:28 |
*** MadViking has quit IRC | 00:28 | |
Venemo | sorry I typo'd the first one. | 00:28 |
SpeedEvil | If you want it to do more than send and recieve texts, and make calls. | 00:28 |
SpeedEvil | Even then, with the n900, that's a major task. | 00:28 |
SpeedEvil | Especially if you want to track upstream. | 00:29 |
ShadowJK | It doesn't help that 3g specifications includes reinventing all of Internet up until 2001 or so. | 00:29 |
*** Dragnslcr has quit IRC | 00:29 | |
ShadowJK | in a new incompatible-with-the-real-internet way :) | 00:29 |
*** Malin_ has joined #maemo | 00:30 | |
*** thmarkus has quit IRC | 00:30 | |
Venemo | but why doesn't anyone actually send that fucking modem driver upstream? why didn't nokia for one do so? | 00:30 |
DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: lol, yeah | 00:31 |
SpeedEvil | Much of the nokia code is not upstreamable in its present state. | 00:31 |
Venemo | I also don't understand why the actual manufacturers of the modem make a driver for it | 00:31 |
Venemo | I really need to take a break | 00:31 |
SpeedEvil | For example - component_version in /proc | 00:31 |
Venemo | I also don't understand why the actual manufacturers of the modem _don't_ make a driver for it | 00:31 |
SpeedEvil | Why is it not in cpuinfo | 00:31 |
SpeedEvil | Venemo: not in the contract. | 00:32 |
ShadowJK | In this case Nokia is the manufacturer. There's a driver in ofono, that uses phonet in kernel. I've seen phonet patches on linux kernel mailing list. | 00:32 |
Venemo | I thought phonet is some closed source shit | 00:32 |
DocScrutinizer | Venemo: the maemo modem driver is closed source, the meego ofono one is still beta, and there are several quirks in RAPUYAMA that are not like what open cellphone specs (or what they're caled) require | 00:32 |
Venemo | what's RAPUYAMA? | 00:32 |
ShadowJK | The modem in N900 actually consists of a powerful ARM processor too, running its own firmware, with its own SDRAM. On its own it could actually run a low-end cellphone too :-) | 00:33 |
DocScrutinizer | the N900 (et all) BB5 modem | 00:33 |
DocScrutinizer | RAPUYAMA = baseband, GAZOO = PMU | 00:33 |
Venemo | ShadowJK, so the N900 in fact has two processors? | 00:33 |
ShadowJK | It depends on how you count processors | 00:33 |
DocScrutinizer | yes, it actually has some dozen | 00:33 |
Venemo | okay, if I count in the DSP and the others, then yeah | 00:34 |
DocScrutinizer | LP5523 LED controler engines are almost a cpu | 00:34 |
Venemo | but ShadowJK said that the modem has its own ARM CPU... not sure why it needs that though :D | 00:34 |
ShadowJK | But Symbian handsets used to say "Dual CPU" in their specs. Then Symbian gained hard-realtime capability, after which they could run Symbian and Modem on the same CPU (on N900 it's one CPU for Modem and one CPU for operating system) :-) | 00:34 |

*** Dragnslcr has joined #maemo | 00:34 | |
ShadowJK | It was a big costs-saving advantage for Nokia at one point :P | 00:35 |
DocScrutinizer | Venemo: It needs that for managing the GSM OTA protocol | 00:35 |
*** Dragnslcr has quit IRC | 00:35 | |
Venemo | DocScrutinizer, is that protocol so hard that it needs its own CPU? | 00:35 |
DocScrutinizer | yes | 00:35 |
*** Dragnslcr has joined #maemo | 00:35 | |
Venemo | heh | 00:35 |
DocScrutinizer | esp if yu want the user to have full access to "the other" CPU | 00:35 |
*** renato_filho has joined #maemo | 00:35 | |
Venemo | mhm | 00:35 |
Venemo | well then no wonder that the cell modem uses up so much power | 00:36 |
DocScrutinizer | it actually doesn't | 00:36 |
DocScrutinizer | standby is like 4mA | 00:36 |
DocScrutinizer | which is pretty decent | 00:36 |
Venemo | well the device's battery lasts considerably longer in offline mode | 00:36 |
ShadowJK | You know, when 3g specs were finalized, the fastest PC processor at the time was too weak to process all the protocols and algorithms required to implement 3g :-) | 00:36 |
Venemo | heh | 00:36 |
Venemo | I didn't know that | 00:36 |
* SpeedEvil checks on https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11091 | 00:37 | |
povbot | Bug 11091: Bug in cpufreq module - exposed in /proc/timer_stats | 00:37 |
* SpeedEvil sighs. | 00:37 | |
DocScrutinizer | sure Venemo - that's because TX is blasting with up to 0.5W | 00:37 |
*** lopz has joined #maemo | 00:38 | |
Venemo | mhmm | 00:38 |
*** Spydemon has quit IRC | 00:38 | |
ShadowJK | Mostly power drain happens because of CDMA, your phone has to "join" other phones transmitting. Like a choir singing a chorus. Every phone has to regulate their transmission power accurately and precisely, so that no single one becomes too powerful, and so that the base station can still tell them apart. Once your phone is singing in the choir, it can't exit for a few seconds or so. | 00:38 |
ShadowJK | So, every single packet of data transmitted makes your phone transmit for like 5 seconds. | 00:39 |
DocScrutinizer | Venemo: make sure your GPRS packet radio AP setup is empty, so no way any data gets transfered either way, and watch N900 standby like 250h on GSM | 00:39 |
ShadowJK | Which is roughly equivalent to 5 seconds of talk time. | 00:39 |
*** sq-one has quit IRC | 00:39 | |
ShadowJK | If you're transfering data at high speed, the power drain is 2 - 4X that of "talk time" power consumption | 00:40 |
Venemo | DocScrutinizer, yeah, GSM (even EDGE) also lasts considerably longer than 3G/HSDPA | 00:40 |
DocScrutinizer | Venemo: see ShadowJK 's nice explanation above. 3G == WCDMA | 00:40 |
ShadowJK | GSM/EDGE is TDMA. Instead of everyone transmitting at the same time, they all get a small timeslot during which they must attempt to transmit their data. After that, another device gets the chance to transmit. | 00:41 |
Venemo | mhmm | 00:41 |
Venemo | thanks for explaining ShadowJK :) | 00:41 |
DocScrutinizer | which makes for the 200Hz humm on 2G | 00:41 |
*** e-yes has joined #maemo | 00:41 | |
ShadowJK | There's lots of extra overhead because EDGE is a kludge ontop of a kludge ontop of a kludge, etc... so it's actually pretty inefficient overall.. But, for always-on stuff like IRC and instant messengers, it's alot better than 3g | 00:42 |
DocScrutinizer | was it 200? | 00:42 |
ShadowJK | Dunno :-) | 00:42 |
ShadowJK | The tip-tap-tip-tap in speakers is from the low-rate command channel I think... and then there's the hum at.. yeah, 200-400hz somewhere? | 00:42 |
DocScrutinizer | 200 | 00:42 |
DocScrutinizer | google for GSM timeslice - or slots | 00:43 |
DocScrutinizer | think it was 200 | 00:43 |
ShadowJK | I think the chinese are on the right track with their TCDMA based 3g/4g solution. I know they just did it to be different and reduce patent licensing expenses, but hey | 00:43 |
ShadowJK | oh wait | 00:43 |
ShadowJK | nevermind | 00:44 |
*** swc|666 has joined #maemo | 00:44 | |
ShadowJK | I don't know how TCDMA works :) | 00:44 |
DocScrutinizer | btw that's also where that nice Timing Advance value comes from - that tells you aout your distance to BTS on a 550m accuracy | 00:44 |
ShadowJK | Yeah :) | 00:44 |
GAN900 | Ah, electronics. | 00:45 |
ShadowJK | Then we have wifi. Wifi is unique, its spectrum management facility is best described as "FUCK ME, FUCK YOU!" | 00:45 |
DocScrutinizer | GAN900: that's definitely no electronics | 00:45 |
Venemo | ShadowJK, what do you mean by "FUCK ME, FUCK YOU!"? | 00:46 |
SpeedEvil | http://fatpita.net/?i=7269 | 00:46 |
ShadowJK | Every station shouts, and the one that shouts first or loudest gets to speak, and then shouts until it gets its message across, however long that might take, blocking everyone else. | 00:46 |
GAN900 | DocScrutinizer, close enough for 5:46 on a Saturday. :P | 00:46 |
DocScrutinizer | GAN900: that's what sw devels think about as "duh electronics, doesn't matter" | 00:46 |
Venemo | GAN900, what 5:46? where are you? :O | 00:46 |
GAN900 | ShadowJK, makes the hardware rather cheap though, no? | 00:46 |
*** shanttu has quit IRC | 00:47 | |
DocScrutinizer | in fact that's basics about how stuff works, and most of it is sw related | 00:47 |
GAN900 | Venemo, in the land of 12-hour time. | 00:47 |
Venemo | GAN900, it's 23:47 here | 00:47 |
DocScrutinizer | good (UGT) morning everybody then | 00:47 |
GAN900 | 17:47 here, but I was saving digits. | 00:47 |
ShadowJK | GAN900, no not really. It's actually just someone who copy&pasted bits of the ethernet spec, and then someone had to implement it in hardware. | 00:48 |
ShadowJK | on wireless, which behaves entirely different to wired. | 00:48 |
Venemo | GAN900, ah. I thought you meant 5:46 AM :P | 00:48 |
Venemo | ShadowJK, btw, are you an EE too? | 00:49 |
ShadowJK | Compare to like wimax, which allocates a fixed-length of transmission time (TX and RX) to every station, during which they'll push through as much data as possible. This ensures everyone gets a fair share of spectral bandwidth :-) | 00:49 |
ShadowJK | Venemo, no | 00:49 |
Venemo | ShadowJK, you sure do know a lot about this stuff | 00:50 |
DocScrutinizer | Venemo: He's knowledgeable enough to count as junior EE to me | 00:50 |
ShadowJK | At this point I'm at best some sort of ad-hoc hybrid of unqualified ME and AE :) | 00:50 |
SpeedEvil | AE? | 00:50 |

Sc0rpius | does anybody knows how to turn stderr in the console in the N900? | 02:42 |
Sc0rpius | because it is totally ignored | 02:42 |
Sc0rpius | if I run the same program in scratchbox I can see all the stderr output | 02:43 |
Sc0rpius | but none in the device | 02:43 |
ShadowJK | and you're starting them from a terminal in both cases? | 02:44 |
*** NIN101 has quit IRC | 02:45 | |
Sc0rpius | yeah | 02:45 |
ShadowJK | Well that's very strange then, because when you start it from a working terminal, the stdout and stderr gets connected to the terminal | 02:45 |
MohammadAG | is there a way to debug an app launched with dbus? | 02:45 |
ShadowJK | lol | 02:46 |
*** FireFly|n900 has quit IRC | 02:46 | |
Sc0rpius | hmm | 02:46 |
Sc0rpius | and a echo thing >/dev/stderr works | 02:46 |

Sc0rpius | I want those kind of lines to show in the device | 02:47 |
ShadowJK | I've seen those when I've launched stuff from xterm | 02:47 |
*** Jade has quit IRC | 02:47 | |
MohammadAG | syslog | 02:47 |
ShadowJK | I don't think that goes to syslog :-) | 02:47 |
DocScrutinizer | /dev/stderr is quite probably sth different than fileahndle 2 of a process | 02:48 |
ShadowJK | MohammadAG, if it's your own app, then at the starting of the app I'd just reassign stdout/stderr to a file somewhere if such output is what you're after | 02:48 |
DocScrutinizer | echo this-goes-to-stderr 2>&1 is | 02:49 |
MohammadAG | ShadowJK, nah, the app is closed for some reason | 02:49 |
DocScrutinizer | it | 02:49 |
ShadowJK | There's also easy methods for sending stuff to syslog, not that I rememver what hte functions are called | 02:49 |
MohammadAG | so I want to debug segfaults | 02:49 |
*** penguinbait has joined #maemo | 02:49 | |
MohammadAG | isn't there a way to prevent the app from closing on segfault? | 02:50 |
nox- | attach a gdb? | 02:50 |
nox- | or enable coredumps if that works on n900 | 02:50 |
MohammadAG | nox-, doesn't that prevent the app from doing what it normally does? | 02:51 |
nox- | well you'd hit c for continue | 02:51 |
nox- | and maybe tell gdb to pass one or the other signal thru | 02:51 |
ShadowJK | If it receives alot of signals normally, you'd tell gdb to ignore those | 02:51 |
nox- | yeah | 02:51 |
Sc0rpius | MohammadAG is right, those go to /var/log/messages with syslog | 02:51 |
ShadowJK | awesome | 02:52 |
nox- | if coredumps work you can also look at those with gdb after a crash | 02:52 |
* nox- just never tried that on the device :) | 02:53 | |

*** penguinbait has quit IRC | 02:55 | |
ShadowJK | There's that thing with Maemo, iirc, where you have to reply to something or other to let it know you're alive, or else it kills you | 02:55 |
nox- | out of memory | 02:55 |
nox- | (resp swap) | 02:55 |

DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: yeah, seems so | 02:57 |
MohammadAG | ShadowJK, yeah | 02:58 |
DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: what was that? | 02:58 |
ShadowJK | the wl1251 error indicates weak signal or access point with uncooperative power saving features | 02:58 |
MohammadAG | I didn't time it but | 02:58 |
* MohammadAG tarts apt | 02:58 | |
MohammadAG | starts app* even | 02:58 |
DocScrutinizer | a lot of apps had that eventually | 02:58 |
DocScrutinizer | was a weird little bit | 02:59 |
ShadowJK | If I remember correctly, there is thing that specifically requires a response (or a message) within X seconds of getting started, or else hildon or libosso or whatever kills it | 02:59 |
ShadowJK | But I don't remember the details | 02:59 |
DocScrutinizer | like stdout not assigned or whatever | 02:59 |
*** kthomas_vh_ has quit IRC | 02:59 | |
ShadowJK | IIRC, in the N8x0 days it was even on a developer FAQ somewhere. | 02:59 |
MohammadAG | killed | 03:00 |
MohammadAG | so it's two minutes actually | 03:00 |
DocScrutinizer | registering it with osso-service-name in .desktop to dbus though it's not a dbus aware app | 03:00 |
DocScrutinizer | whatever | 03:00 |
DocScrutinizer | yeah, two minutes | 03:00 |
DocScrutinizer | dbus timeout | 03:00 |
DocScrutinizer | probably | 03:00 |
ShadowJK | If he's starting it via dbus maybe it implies it should be dbus aware | 03:00 |
MohammadAG | I've had apps not dbus aware started via DBus | 03:01 |
DocScrutinizer | maybe then it should also register with dbus | 03:01 |
MohammadAG | and they never had this | 03:01 |
DocScrutinizer | no idea really, just handwaving | 03:01 |
DocScrutinizer | I know it was a nasty little detail | 03:01 |
MohammadAG | hmm | 03:02 |
MohammadAG | I think it's a line in the .desktop file | 03:02 |

DocScrutinizer | incredible nobody here knows what's that kill-after-120s issue been | 03:05 |
MohammadAG | well, psfreedom doesn't get killed | 03:08 |
DocScrutinizer | ohI think if you start an app via dbus, it has to register to dbus under same name, or sth like that | 03:08 |
MohammadAG | and it's pretty much the same (no DBus awareness etc) | 03:08 |
DocScrutinizer | hmm | 03:09 |
MohammadAG | and it uses 13MBs of RAM | 03:09 |
MohammadAG | I have to say, for two buttons, that's quite a lot | 03:09 |
* MohammadAG criticizes past coding skills | 03:09 | |
DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: try to make sure your stdin and stdout and stderr are closed or redirected to /dev/null | 03:09 |
DocScrutinizer | maybe that's the trick | 03:10 |

DocScrutinizer | I guess | 03:45 |
DocScrutinizer | by your wraper script, you get the "osso" in the shell/xterm I'd assume, so the function that waits for some magic on dbus after starting the app gets satisfied by that | 03:47 |

psycho_oreos | Sony's headquarters is in Japan yes | 05:09 |
DocScrutinizer | then bow down deep and beg for pardon | 05:09 |
psycho_oreos | there's lots of hatred on sony and they should continue hating imo :D. They (sony) screwed people around the world several times | 05:10 |
DocScrutinizer | but actually do nothing | 05:10 |
MohammadAG | DocScrutinizer, point is, if sony's giving people an unlocked bootloader that's a huge step forwards | 05:10 |
psycho_oreos | the question will be: for how long will they momentarily play nice? like how they treated ps3 linux owners with otherOS? | 05:14 |
MohammadAG | till geohot the II shows up :P | 05:14 |
psycho_oreos | I'll be honest here, I really don't see geohot being the culprit, he just likes attention and if sony has a flaw in their system, they should cop it and fix it rather than disabling the whole damn thing thereby pissing their linux community off. On top of that making ostracising comments like,"If you want to keep your OtherOS and don't want to play online with PSN, you don't have to upgrade." | 05:17 |

Sazpaimon | ive probably played it about a hundred times since i got it last year | 05:31 |
Sazpaimon | too bad it completely chokes on my phone due to lack of hwaccel in flash | 05:32 |
Sazpaimon | thanks adobe! | 05:32 |
*** ferdna has joined #maemo | 05:32 | |

*** maybeWTF has quit IRC | 05:34 | |
DocScrutinizer | ohmy | 05:34 |
Sazpaimon | yeah because its annoying to pack a flash file into a linux executable | 05:34 |
Sazpaimon | trust me I've tried | 05:34 |
psycho_oreos | its so adobe for you | 05:34 |
DocScrutinizer | flash IS annoying | 05:35 |
Sazpaimon | its not worth the effort and youre better off running the exe in wine | 05:35 |
psycho_oreos | emulated wine inside qemu | 05:35 |
psycho_oreos | heh | 05:35 |
Sazpaimon | that said, I have an swf version of the game | 05:35 |
Sazpaimon | i extracted the swf from the exe and decompiled it, and removed any security stuff that prevented it from running | 05:35 |
DocScrutinizer | what a friggin weird shit | 05:36 |
Sazpaimon | it runs perfectly fine on my desktop browser, but my n900 plays it at like half speed | 05:36 |
DocScrutinizer | obviously done by fools who had more an idea of how to PLAY a agme than how to CODE it | 05:36 |
*** sleepee has joined #maemo | 05:36 | |
Sazpaimon | DocScrutinizer, the AS is pretty solid | 05:37 |
DocScrutinizer | flash packed into an exe, cmon | 05:37 |
Sazpaimon | DocScrutinizer, its very commonplace actually | 05:37 |
Sazpaimon | lots of developers pack an swf into an embedded flash player | 05:37 |
DocScrutinizer | yeah fools and noobs are pretty common, agreed | 05:37 |
Sazpaimon | flash CS3 and up i believe have that feature included | 05:37 |
Sazpaimon | because believe it or not, not everyone has a standalone flash player installe | 05:38 |
Sazpaimon | d | 05:38 |
Sazpaimon | nor do they want to do so to play a game | 05:38 |
*** jd has quit IRC | 05:38 | |
DocScrutinizer | indeed I don't even want to play any flash based game | 05:38 |
DocScrutinizer | unless it's maybe some simple shit embedded in a webpage | 05:39 |
Sazpaimon | so its not unheard of or even bad practice to publish a flash game with an embedded flash player as an exe | 05:39 |
*** kaawee has quit IRC | 05:39 | |
Sazpaimon | so it "just works" | 05:39 |

DocScrutinizer | adobe reached the point where they're on par with M$ on my hate-list | 05:41 |
Sazpaimon | i detect some mad here | 05:42 |
Sazpaimon | are you.. mad | 05:42 |
Sazpaimon | bro? | 05:42 |
DocScrutinizer | I suggest you publish your games as .xls (win7 format) rather than flash | 05:43 |
DocScrutinizer | way less proprietary | 05:43 |
Sazpaimon | yes, definately some mad going around here | 05:44 |
DocScrutinizer | sure | 05:44 |
Sazpaimon | don't worry, doc, I'm here for you | 05:44 |
Sazpaimon | come here, I'll hold you | 05:44 |

HRH_H_Crab | hello all | 11:39 |
HRH_H_Crab | i wonder if someone can give me some guidance, | 11:39 |
HRH_H_Crab | my phone tells me that it wants to upgrade "Linux kernel for power user (boot image)" but the upgrade fails because of the "3rd party package policy" or something like that. | 11:40 |
HRH_H_Crab | im not sure whether i should be doing something to remove a block so that it can install, or whether i have to do something to stop it from trying to install that. | 11:40 |

HRH_H_Crab | thanks. | 12:05 |
robbiethe1st | NP | 12:05 |
HRH_H_Crab | the package manager freaks me out sometimes | 12:07 |
HRH_H_Crab | it can be a bit clunky. | 12:07 |
*** croppa_ is now known as croppa | 12:07 | |
HRH_H_Crab | also, i find it confusing to understand what some of these packages are sometimes. i suspect that i might not even need that one. i experimented a bit with dual booting maemo / android but i didnt think much of android. | 12:08 |
robbiethe1st | HRH_H_Crab: I always use the command-line tool; can't stand the slow gui one | 12:08 |
robbiethe1st | You can always google the name of a package; it'll let you know | 12:08 |
robbiethe1st | power-kernel's the "custom kernel" various people have come up with; it's always a good thing even if you don't want to OC | 12:09 |
HRH_H_Crab | yeah | 12:09 |
HRH_H_Crab | i use it for stuff like ipv6 | 12:09 |
HRH_H_Crab | but im not sure what the "boot image" part is. i would think that would actually install the new kernel and sort out the bootloader and all but it doesnt reboot the phone or anything when it installs. | 12:10 |
*** tackat has quit IRC | 12:11 | |

*** udovdh has quit IRC | 15:06 | |
DocScrutinizer | since a module usually stays loaded once it got loaded, you'd have to start over with a freshly booted system, lsmod, then plug in N900 for flashing, lsmod again, then compare which new modules | 15:06 |

DocScrutinizer | quite nice, saves all the space for the unaltered files | 17:33 |
DocScrutinizer | just make sure your editor etc doesn't modify files, rather renames/deletes the old copy and creates a new file | 17:33 |
DocScrutinizer | I think most editors do | 17:34 |
BCMM | that sounds unpredictable... | 17:34 |

*** _0x47 has joined #maemo | 18:55 | |

SpeedEvil | hmm | 18:57 |
SpeedEvil | ah | 18:57 |
DocScrutinizer | there's never a c5->c3 transition | 18:57 |

SpeedEvil | I suppose so. | 18:57 |
SpeedEvil | Obvious really. | 18:57 |
SpeedEvil | derf: It's mostly uselss - if you read it like top. | 18:58 |
SpeedEvil | derf: You need to understand what it means. | 18:58 |
derf | As the vast majority of the wakeups it reports are "kernel timer", and doesn't give any obvious way to associate those with processes, or even any specific activity. | 18:58 |

DocScrutinizer | charger plugin is detected in musb_hdrc.ko (the part where you can find the "some asshole called chargerdetect" comment in hostmode enabled kernel) and that's what bme does and why we needed to stop it (among other reasons) for h-e-n to work properly | 19:09 |

Hukka | MohammadAG: I have a transparent pocket in my bikes handlebar bag, but it prevents access to the side keys, and proximity sensor doesn't think it's that transparent. Now I can create a "bikemode" applet that in one click makes the phone operatable through the pocket plastic | 19:28 |

dangergrrl | hey DocScrutinizer and MohammadAG thanks for the pointer on the modified fmtxd, i can transmit on illegal freqs while charging now :) | 21:10 |
dangergrrl | of course the xmit on illegal freqs part isn't all that useful i only have legal receivers :) | 21:11 |
pupnik | dangergrrl: did you download the guantanamo detainee list | 21:11 |
pupnik | from google spreadsheets? | 21:11 |
dangergrrl | no, why should i look for myself in case they think i am there? :) | 21:11 |
pupnik | there are still people locked in that dungeon | 21:11 |
pupnik | we should free them | 21:11 |
dangergrrl | yes and usa and uk and the others need to leave afghanistan | 21:12 |
pupnik | this needs to be forcefully said | 21:12 |
dangergrrl | osama bin laden was the goal, he is reportedly dead | 21:12 |

pupnik | i agree | 21:12 |

dangergrrl | i still believe there is value in listening to nutjobs | 21:22 |
trx | you shouldn't talk about topics that can lead to exactly this anyways.. | 21:22 |
dangergrrl | i think mentioning illegal broadcasting led to this :) | 21:23 |
trx | lol | 21:23 |
dangergrrl | in practice the part of the band that my n900 can now transmit to is being used for greyspace internet in some cities | 21:24 |
dangergrrl | i wouldn't want to interfere with those signals | 21:24 |
MohammadAG | but FM stations already interfere with your music, so the effects' downsides are canceled out :P | 21:25 |
dangergrrl | if i had another n900 it could be useful for point to point | 21:25 |
dangergrrl | i'm wanting a way to enable the mic and fm transmitter from ssh if it's stolen | 21:26 |
trx | why the transmitter? | 21:27 |
dangergrrl | so you can hear around the n900 from a fm radio if you are nearby | 21:27 |
trx | haha, the small chance that you will be in 3 meters of your stolen n900 | 21:28 |
dangergrrl | i think the n900 may make a fairly handy spy device also other than short battery life | 21:28 |
dangergrrl | oh | 21:28 |
trx | its a* | 21:28 |
dangergrrl | maybe not :P | 21:28 |
dangergrrl | actually it only works for about a meter on my bike radio | 21:29 |
dangergrrl | didn't think of that | 21:29 |
trx | even better :) | 21:29 |
dangergrrl | never mind | 21:29 |
dangergrrl | i'm a blonde | 21:29 |
trx | it would be easier to just play music via the speakers :) | 21:29 |
dangergrrl | but i'm guessing that's partially the ignition rf noise | 21:30 |
*** iluminator101 has joined #maemo | 21:31 | |
dangergrrl | n900 works on the motorcycle if it's closer to the radio than my spark plugs | 21:31 |
dangergrrl | probably in my head | 21:31 |
trx | probably :) | 21:31 |
iluminator101 | Hey, How Do I Import Public Holidays to n900 main calender? | 21:31 |
dangergrrl | uhm | 21:32 |
dangergrrl | i bet they are in cal format somewhere | 21:32 |
*** Tsarpf has joined #maemo | 21:33 | |
dangergrrl | oh wow | 21:33 |
dangergrrl | the bl-5j stores 1320 mAh | 21:33 |
dangergrrl | my new jump pack 12Ah | 21:33 |
dangergrrl | so it should be able to fully charge n900 like 9 times | 21:34 |
dangergrrl | but it's usb port won't charge n900, have to use a car charger with it | 21:34 |
SpeedEvil | 'jump pack' ? | 21:35 |
SpeedEvil | If that's 12V@12Ah - that is more like 25 times. | 21:35 |
dangergrrl | portable battery booster for starting a car or motorcycle | 21:35 |
dangergrrl | 25 times... even better | 21:35 |
dangergrrl | i was thinking of buying a powermonkey extreme solar charger for camping at the beach | 21:36 |
dangergrrl | this thing needs a vehicle or grid power to recharge | 21:37 |
*** unixSnob has joined #maemo | 21:37 | |

dangergrrl | nice camping equipment but i wish i had a trailer | 21:46 |
SpeedEvil | Caveats - if you discharge it deeply, and then leave it, it's probably wrecked. It needs to be recharged promptly if you discharge it under 10.6V | 21:47 |
*** Megaltariak has joined #maemo | 21:47 | |
dangergrrl | if i use it camping i'll be hiking to charge it when it gets low | 21:47 |
dangergrrl | i bought it because i was stranded with a dead battery yesterday | 21:48 |
dangergrrl | it was a jump pak or cables and sit around looking dumb holding cables | 21:48 |
dangergrrl | i'd have gotten a jump i'm sure but the jump pak is more useful | 21:48 |
SpeedEvil | http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/12V-12W-Polycrystalline-Household-Car-Solar-Power-Panel-/130441557699?pt=AU_Solar&hash=item1e5eec36c3 - or similar - would charge it in 2-3 days of good sun | 21:49 |
dangergrrl | i presume it's a dry cell battery or there would be warnings about charging it indoors | 21:49 |
dangergrrl | https://powertraveller.com/iwantsome/primatepower/powermonkeyextreme/ | 21:50 |

*** kr1shnak has left #maemo | 21:53 | |
SpeedEvil | As context - the battery you have is 4-5 times that capacity. | 21:53 |

SpeedEvil | See the above link | 21:56 |
RST38h | Practically, you are screwed there | 21:56 |
dangergrrl | actually i bet i could charge this jump box enough to get er started if i were camping anyhow | 21:56 |
dangergrrl | might take a day or three | 21:56 |
SpeedEvil | The above panel will work - if in good sun and pointed right - to charge it in about a day or two | 21:56 |
dangergrrl | that panel with what i already have would be a great combo for camping at the beach | 21:57 |
RST38h | Or a week, yes | 21:57 |
