kerio | hm | 08:43 |
kerio | what are you flashing? | 08:43 |
kerio | COMBINED and/or VANILLA? | 08:44 |

Macer | this rubber cover i got for my n900 totally sucks | 09:56 |
Macer | the screen protector is good tho | 09:56 |
psycho_oreos | generic brand? | 09:56 |
Macer | i got 3 of them pretty cheap.. $11 for 3 covers and the flimsy made in china rubber cover | 09:57 |
Macer | yeah | 09:57 |
psycho_oreos | lol | 09:57 |
Macer | i guess it works better than nothing does | 09:57 |
Macer | after how awesome i have gotten this n900 i am considering getting another newer one | 09:57 |
Macer | maybe try to rsync them heh | 09:58 |
Macer | one for day to day and one to wear a suit with | 09:58 |
psycho_oreos | I've got otterbox for one of mine, makes it look fatter but despite N900 being dropped a few times it never really suffered anything serious | 09:58 |
*** jhb has joined #maemo | 09:58 | |
Macer | mine is pretty good too other than a few minor sliding into the pocket scratches on the screen | 09:59 |
Macer | you would have to really look for them tho | 09:59 |
Macer | but i still want a good as new one :) | 09:59 |
Macer | but this rubber cover.. it isnt TOO bad.. but i expected a tighter fit | 10:00 |
Macer | i mean.. it is latex rubber | 10:00 |
psycho_oreos | it'll be hard to find new ones these days unless you go to shops and hope they still have them | 10:00 |
mece | Macer, they're cheap too :) | 10:00 |
Macer | psycho_oreos: amazon has them | 10:00 |
Macer | im pretty sure dell too | 10:00 |
psycho_oreos | o.O | 10:01 |
Macer | i got mine from dell ;) | 10:01 |
Macer | which was actually kind of a surprise | 10:01 |
Macer | i could possibly find the parts but i would be a little nervous about that | 10:02 |

*** ruskie has quit IRC | 10:15 | |
*** ruskie has joined #maemo | 10:15 | |
robbiethe1st | No, I've found no reason to modify a backup: I just modify the original file | 10:15 |
robbiethe1st | and if things break, that's what backupmenu's for | 10:16 |
strohhalm | you are sure, that you edit the backup and try to restore, iterative until it works? ;) | 10:17 |
strohhalm | *dont | 10:17 |
*** zakkkkm has joined #maemo | 10:17 | |
zakkkkm | should i enable hwsync for hildon-desktop ? | 10:18 |
psycho_oreos | its the settings that I got osso-backup to backup. I haven't yet installed backupmenu (hence I'm trying to setup a backup clone in case something seriously gets messed up on my main one). The settings if I were to restore that onto my other N900 the Display configurations under Settings automatically freezes Settings app | 10:19 |

psycho_oreos | bye | 10:21 |
strohhalm | good luck | 10:22 |
psycho_oreos | hmm I guess replacing them with null length files shouldn't hurt, I can see some %gconf.xml files with zero length | 10:23 |

merlin1991 | Chuck norris | 14:46 |
psycho_oreos | plenty others but none will run maemo OS | 14:46 |
strohhalm | yea, my notebook | 14:46 |
markinfo | nokia n900 is already 3years old machine - that is not normal to have nothing. Is Nokia still alive? | 14:47 |
psycho_oreos | does Nokia sound dead to you? | 14:48 |
robbiethe1st | Now that MS has it, yes... | 14:48 |
psycho_oreos | there's ongoing rumours of n9 coming out however, who knows if it'll ever come out | 14:48 |
robbiethe1st | Well, thing is that there are faster bits of hardware out there... But the software doesn't do as well | 14:48 |
SpeedEvil | It's pining for the fjoords. | 14:48 |
robbiethe1st | N950 //will// be coming out. | 14:48 |
robbiethe1st | That's confirmed: FCC even has approved it | 14:49 |
SpeedEvil | Err - no, it's not. | 14:49 |
*** gomiam has quit IRC | 14:49 | |
SpeedEvil | A prototype has been approved by the FCC | 14:49 |
robbiethe1st | maby not n950 or n9 as the /name/, but some device will | 14:49 |
markinfo | Memo seems quite enough good to be. But hardware is slow. | 14:49 |
markinfo | Maemo | 14:49 |
SpeedEvil | This does not mean it will go into production. | 14:49 |
SpeedEvil | Or what OS it will run. | 14:49 |
xkr47 | do they still sell n900 in finland somewhere? | 14:49 |
psycho_oreos | I thought that was N9 not N950, the stuff on tmo | 14:49 |
cehteh | even when it goes into poduction its a dead horse :P | 14:50 |
robbiethe1st | Who knows what it's called | 14:50 |
robbiethe1st | If things are too slow... tweak it or OC | 14:50 |
cehteh | nokias future is wp7 ... mine is somewhere else | 14:50 |
strohhalm | is it not possible to port maemo to some powerfull android device? | 14:50 |
SpeedEvil | cehteh: Even if it's dead - that's another 2 or so years for someone to pop up with a 'proper' meego phone. | 14:50 |
SpeedEvil | strohhalm: No. | 14:50 |
strohhalm | why not? | 14:50 |
cehteh | SpeedEvil: i hope my n900 will last 2 years more :) | 14:50 |
SpeedEvil | Maemo comprises closed elements in a tangled mess - in conjunction with the open eleemnts. | 14:50 |
SpeedEvil | You cannot use the open bits without the closed bits. | 14:51 |
markinfo | hm - are there some serious reasons to have "closed elements"? | 14:51 |
strohhalm | okay | 14:52 |
robbiethe1st | SpeedEvil: How much of the main UI(Theme bits, desktop, statusbar etc) are closed? | 14:52 |
dangergrrl | because that's what nokia gave us | 14:52 |
cehteh | some people think they are serious | 14:52 |
robbiethe1st | Like, what could be dropped on top of a Debian system? | 14:52 |
strohhalm | nda, patents, closed firmware i think markinfo ;) | 14:52 |
SpeedEvil | markinfo: The closed elements were chosen and designed to make it hard for another phone maker to use the open elements that they connect to. | 14:52 |
SpeedEvil | This seems to be the only real design rationale. | 14:53 |

SpeedEvil | markinfo: No. | 14:57 |
SpeedEvil | markinfo: In many markets, it's actually illegal to - or at the least won't get approval - if you have an opensource GSM stack that the user can edit. | 14:57 |
strohhalm | RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2 <-- this is ne latest release? | 14:57 |
SpeedEvil | actually illegal to sell | 14:57 |
SpeedEvil | markinfo: Fundamentally, radio is a shared resource. GSM and other cellphone protocols work because the tower control everything. | 14:58 |
SpeedEvil | markinfo: Two users deciding to use their cell-radios to directly talk to each other and not use up any of their data allowances can wipe out calls on that channel for tens of kilometers. | 14:59 |
*** GNUton-BNC has joined #maemo | 15:00 | |
markinfo | hm - open Source GSM, it looks danger ... but that problem is very similar to the WIFI cards - or not? | 15:01 |
cehteh | kindof design flaw | 15:01 |
SpeedEvil | It's not a design flaw. | 15:01 |
SpeedEvil | It's a fundamental issue. Radio is a shared resource. | 15:01 |
SpeedEvil | Cellphones work specifically because the cell network is engineered so that there are never two devices transmitting on the same frequency at the same time. | 15:02 |
cehteh | thinking flaw then even | 15:03 |
SpeedEvil | Wifi - pretty much - works with shared channels, as it accepts that sometimes it's just not going to work, and that nearby devices on the same frequency will wipe out the channel. | 15:03 |
cehteh | i cant operate a radio transmitter on commercial bands without infriging the law .. so is hacking the gsm transmitter too | 15:03 |
*** ab is now known as ab[out] | 15:04 | |
cehteh | or when i code a virus which hacks some machines (and use it) then its against the law | 15:04 |
cehteh | you cant just prevent that by telling "virus coding cant be open source" the bad guys will always try | 15:04 |
SpeedEvil | But with GSM and other cell-devices - the approval has as a condition of use that it can't be used to do that. | 15:04 |
SpeedEvil | The problem isn't so much one-offs. | 15:05 |
* RST38h yawns, eats a kitten | 15:05 | |
RST38h | Soo, news? | 15:05 |
SpeedEvil | The problem is a 'free data' app popping up on a popular handset that completely wipes out the network in the area. | 15:05 |
cehteh | which is illegal to use | 15:06 |
SpeedEvil | P2P is illegal to use too. | 15:06 |
cehteh | p2p is not illegal | 15:06 |
cehteh | what you do with it might be illegal | 15:06 |
SpeedEvil | Ok - P2P is illegal to use to infringe copyright. | 15:06 |
SpeedEvil | But the above issue arises with 12 year-olds - for example - using the above app. | 15:07 |
Veggen | SpeedEvil: And so is word, email, web, etc. | 15:07 |
Veggen | SpeedEvil: there's nothing different with php. | 15:07 |
Veggen | eh, P2P. | 15:07 |
SpeedEvil | Veggen: The point is the illegality doesn't stop people doing it. | 15:07 |
Veggen | no, that's true. | 15:08 |
SpeedEvil | Hence the fact that locking down the cell-radio has some point. | 15:08 |
cehteh | thats what i meant with design flaw .. technically each device should authenticate properly with each other and the network .. if not its like operating a pirate radio transmitter, when you do and get catched then you get sued and have to pay high fines | 15:08 |
cehteh | there is no need to obscure this by closing the souce | 15:08 |
Veggen | SpeedEvil: there'll *always* be people infringing copright. That has never been the problem, the problem is that the media business has stopped delivering services that people are willing to buy once they actually get money to do so. | 15:08 |
*** polymar has quit IRC | 15:08 | |
SpeedEvil | cehteh: The source - the GSM protocol - is quite open. | 15:09 |
SpeedEvil | cehteh: It's only the implementations that are locked down. | 15:09 |
cehteh | if something is decided to be illegal by our society it just is .. | 15:09 |
*** kwtm has quit IRC | 15:09 | |
cehteh | yes i think there is no much point in doing so | 15:09 |
SpeedEvil | cehteh: If you have an open-source GSM modem, you can 'file off' the serial numbers. | 15:09 |
cehteh | yes ... and? | 15:10 |
cehteh | if i steal a car i can grind out the serials too .. does that make it better or legal or acceptable? | 15:10 |
SpeedEvil | The fundamental problem is that radio is a shared resource - anyone transmitting on an unauthorised channel on a GSM networks allocation will knock off up to 16 calls. Some of which may be emergency calls. | 15:11 |
*** lxp has joined #maemo | 15:11 | |
cehteh | stolen cars run by drunken / drugged shitheads also share the same street and overrun people | 15:12 |
*** polymar has joined #maemo | 15:12 | |
SpeedEvil | Sure - it's not. The issue is that your average teenager - who is infringing on copyright over P2P is not likely to see a major difference between doing that, and running a 'free data transfer to your friends' app. | 15:12 |
cehteh | yes but thats not a technical problem you can engage with a technical solution (locking the code down) .. its about education and responsibility | 15:12 |
SpeedEvil | Good luck with that. | 15:13 |
lardman | no, that is something you can stop by locking down the hw | 15:13 |
SpeedEvil | I look forward to hearing how you're going to educate everyone to follow the law. | 15:13 |
lardman | chances are that a teenager bright enough to develop their own, won't be a teenager anymore by the time it's ready to go | 15:13 |
cehteh | eventually someone will release (if not already happend) a free/open/hacked GSM stack on the black market | 15:13 |
SpeedEvil | cehteh: That's not the issue. | 15:14 |
lardman | that will require hacked hw too though | 15:14 |
lardman | which will be expensive | 15:14 |
*** rd has joined #maemo | 15:14 | |
SpeedEvil | cehteh: The issue is hardware - widely available - being able to be used in ways that will incidentally jam other users in a many kilometer radius. | 15:14 |
SpeedEvil | And with incentives for people to use it that way (free data). | 15:14 |
cehteh | i bet some day they find a way around .. and some day later it will apear on some server just for download for the kids | 15:14 |
SpeedEvil | Hence the locking down of the hardware. There isn't another way round this. Radio is by nature a broadcast and shared medium. | 15:15 |
lardman | the point of the separation is so that can't happen cehteh, so no amount of sw can alter that | 15:15 |
cehteh | haha .. they saied that about blueray too :P | 15:16 |
*** the_lord has joined #maemo | 15:16 | |
lardman | yes, though that is slightly different | 15:16 |
SpeedEvil | Without rigid control, your cellphone range drops from 15km to 3km, and then only sometimes, and the battery usage goes up 100* | 15:16 |
lardman | but yes, perhaps there is a weakness somewhere, who knows | 15:16 |
dangergrrl | i ran the unlock for the fm transmitter in my n900 and the world did not end and the fcc has not showed up at my door | 15:16 |
lardman | dangergrrl: short range | 15:17 |
SpeedEvil | dangergrrl: Sure - the FM transmitter is still operating at a really tiny power though. | 15:17 |
lardman | and no-one dies because they can't listen to Radio 1 | 15:17 |
dangergrrl | and someone told me not long ago that they heard something about a full gsm stack in open source | 15:17 |
cehteh | yes | 15:17 |
lardman | But you still need the hw to run it on | 15:17 |
SpeedEvil | dangergrrl: If you are 2km from a cell-tower, and transmit to your friend without negotiating with that cell-tower, you will knock everyone else further than 1km or so on the same channel off the network. | 15:18 |
lardman | and I bet your average teenager's pocket money won't stretch to that | 15:18 |
SpeedEvil | dangergrrl: Including some emergency calls. | 15:18 |
dangergrrl | now i haven't been teranmsmitting outside the approved fm range, i don't have a receiver for that :P | 15:18 |
*** lcukn900 has joined #maemo | 15:18 | |
SpeedEvil | dangergrrl: GSM -opensource - hardware exists. | 15:18 |
SpeedEvil | It's expensive - though it will get cheaper. It will never be mass market though. | 15:18 |
mikkov | open source gsm bts http://openbts.sourceforge.net/ | 15:19 |
SpeedEvil | yeah - that. | 15:19 |
SpeedEvil | Also - there is a cracked phone, being used for openhandset | 15:19 |
strohhalm | i think the problem is not the closed gsm stack, nokia shows that it is possible to provide a free userland with closed parts e.g. for radio, grafic. but why nobody build such stuff with --usable --customizable | 15:20 |
dangergrrl | i suppose if i had a friend who lived next door | 15:20 |
SpeedEvil | Yeah - there is no reason why the user cares about an open-source GSM stack. | 15:21 |
SpeedEvil | If the stack is done right, it exposes everything the user might care about. | 15:21 |
dangergrrl | *and* i could transmit bulk data without being charged by my cell provider | 15:21 |
kerio | if you had a friend who lived next door you'd push a cat6 cable through a wall | 15:21 |
strohhalm | i would be happy with a closed gsm stack, too. if i get a device (system) like the n900 | 15:22 |
SpeedEvil | (where GSM = all cellphones) | 15:22 |
kerio | because fuck radio, 10GigE is the shit | 15:22 |
dangergrrl | lo9l | 15:22 |
dangergrrl | indeed | 15:22 |
* lardman votes for fibre, Gigabits are old school | 15:22 | |
strohhalm | but 2km cat6 is a bit expensive x) | 15:22 |
dangergrrl | so the idea of a teenager breaking the whole GSM network just for fun is a straw man | 15:22 |
SpeedEvil | It's incidental. | 15:23 |
dangergrrl | besides they had a fake gsm cell demo at DEFCON last year | 15:23 |
SpeedEvil | It's not something you care about - you just want free data. | 15:23 |
*** onen|openBmap has quit IRC | 15:24 | |
dangergrrl | GSM is trivial to break in some fun ways | 15:24 |
dangergrrl | a fake GSM cell can just tell your phone: naah, i don't like encryption, don't use it | 15:25 |
dangergrrl | and no phone will warn the user it's dropped encryption | 15:25 |

dangergrrl | i don't buy any of the justifications for closed drivers or NDA hardware as valid | 15:27 |

*** hannesw has joined #maemo | 15:28 | |
*** Spydemon has joined #maemo | 15:28 | |
SpeedEvil | The fundamental reason for a phone maker is that in many markets, it's actuively illegal to sell an open -GSM phone. In most others you will not get approval. | 15:28 |
dangergrrl | it's BS for GPUs and it's BC for GSM stacks too | 15:28 |
dangergrrl | BS even | 15:28 |
SpeedEvil | It's _not_ security through obscurity. The GSM protocol has been published forever. | 15:28 |
dangergrrl | ati and nvidia still reverse engineer each other's stuff and their closed drivers only inconvenience some users | 15:29 |
dangergrrl | and do phone makers use faraday cages when testing new proto stacks? | 15:30 |

ShadowJK | that and google spycar is how they've built up a large database of cellid to location mapping :-) | 17:59 |
lardman | ShadowJK: yep, we could do likewise though if we really wanted to | 17:59 |
ShadowJK | CI is updated once every 30 cycles :-) | 18:00 |
*** avs has joined #maemo | 18:00 | |
ShadowJK | yeah | 18:00 |
DocScrutinizer | wut? | 18:01 |
DocScrutinizer | every 30 cycles ?? o.O | 18:01 |
DocScrutinizer | WTF?! | 18:01 |
ShadowJK | There's a open cellid db iirc. But it was kinda weird, iirc.. And interest/momentum was somewhat lost after iOS/android came | 18:01 |
DocScrutinizer | there are several | 18:01 |
DocScrutinizer | openbmap being just one of those projects | 18:02 |
chem|st | ok normal loop then so the file remains writable while >> is active | 18:02 |
javispedro | I cannot believe that the same spanish l10n error microB has is also present in firefox... | 18:03 |
chem|st | just have the *60 >>* running and every 600 I add a "normal" output to the file | 18:03 |
ShadowJK | it's basically: if(cycles since last learning cycle > 30) CI=1 else CI=0; | 18:03 |
javispedro | instead of "search history" being translated to, well, "search history", it was translated to "history of searches" | 18:03 |
ShadowJK | I don't remember if it was 30, 50 or 15, but significantly > than 1 | 18:03 |
lardman | thanks Doc | 18:03 |
chem|st | ShadowJK: nope I had CI=1 with 12 cycles already (first time I had a look after) | 18:04 |
DocScrutinizer | lardman: yw | 18:04 |
*** zap has quit IRC | 18:05 | |
ShadowJK | chem|st, maybe it never ever completed a learning cycle, this is quite likely with bme :-) | 18:05 |
chem|st | cycles are increasing | 18:05 |
ShadowJK | a learning cycle, not a cycle | 18:06 |
chem|st | 21 cylces so there was a learning cylce ended 21 charges ago... | 18:07 |
chem|st | 21 since last full reset | 18:08 |
chem|st | 21 since learning | 18:09 |
*** FIQ has quit IRC | 18:09 | |
DocScrutinizer | ergo: never had any complete learning cycle | 18:10 |
DocScrutinizer | counter for "since last learning" got reset with full reset | 18:10 |
DocScrutinizer | but CI got set to 1 | 18:11 |
ShadowJK | so LMD == iLMD now too, then :) | 18:12 |
*** jpe has quit IRC | 18:12 | |
DocScrutinizer | chem|st: btw since the chip's adjusting of actual capacity is limited to */ 1.25 (iirc) it might need several learning cycles till it drops from iLMD to the real value of ~1300 | 18:13 |
DocScrutinizer | the chip isn't really designed for getting detached from battery cell | 18:14 |

DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: hehehe, a GOOD question | 18:17 |
Lantizia | like old people | 18:17 |
MohammadAG | besides arecord + aplay, too slow | 18:17 |
javispedro | DocScrutinizer: MohammadAG: there is. | 18:18 |
javispedro | it bypasses speaker protection so use at your own risk | 18:18 |
DocScrutinizer | javispedro: I gather there is, but it seems to need insane amount of coding a special app to do so | 18:18 |
*** crashanddie has quit IRC | 18:18 | |
javispedro | either play with alsamixer (I do not remember the cotnrols atm) or download cfmradio source and play with the advaudio.c | 18:18 |

javispedro | DocScrutinizer: nah, it wasn't very hard. | 18:18 |

*** lostinmirkwood_ has joined #maemo | 18:19 | |
Lantizia | lcuk, more fun using apt-cache search :P | 18:19 |
DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: there *should* be a gstreamer way too | 18:19 |
javispedro | but it would be slower than arecord aplay | 18:19 |
javispedro | I believe cfmradio uses what should be the fastest method that also uses pulseaudio (besides hacking pulseaudio itself; that is what module-loopback does) | 18:20 |
javispedro | (remember reason to use pulse is speaker prot.) | 18:20 |
DocScrutinizer | chem|st: feel free to ping me (and/or SpeedEvil / ShadowJK ) if any questions related to bq27x00 (-datasheet) | 18:20 |
Lantizia | MohammadAG, actually I remember you made a alternate apt-get didn't you on the forum for this? | 18:21 |
Lantizia | if i can find it :S | 18:21 |
chem|st | what I do not realy understand is how the learning reset works | 18:21 |
Lantizia | http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=830385&postcount=19 | 18:21 |
Lantizia | :D | 18:21 |
DocScrutinizer | javispedro: a) I think there's neither arecord nor aplay (surprise, as it's the same binary ;-P) on maemo? | 18:21 |
javispedro | DocScrutinizer: ah, well, I guess not "by default" ;) | 18:22 |
DocScrutinizer | javispedro: b) even if there is, I don't think it would work without killing fsckng PA | 18:22 |
ShadowJK | btw, I wouldn't run n900 to empty without bme. It cuts power to the cpu without warning, so there is danger of filesystem corruption. On Smartdevices' SmartQ5/Q7, this even made its emmc unusable :P | 18:22 |
*** kwek has quit IRC | 18:23 | |
javispedro | DocScrutinizer: the point was that if he thinks aplay+arecord is too slow, nothing sw-based is going to beat it | 18:23 |
*** felipec has joined #maemo | 18:23 | |
DocScrutinizer | javispedro: c) you need proper amixer settings anyway, but it seems there is just NO "scenarios" (they call it scenarios in OM/SHR) to feed to either alsactrl or amixer, to make mic and speaker output work | 18:23 |
ShadowJK | chem|st, if battery has been charged to full, then discharged to less than 3248mV, without any charging in between, without removing battery, then it adjusts its caibration towards what it measured | 18:23 |
chem|st | ShadowJK: so what is your suggestion? | 18:23 |
chem|st | ah ok that was the plan, | 18:24 |
chem|st | didn't want it to die on it but wait till close to real empty and shutdown | 18:25 |
DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: that's not *entirely* true, aiui the PMU is sending an IRQ to CPU prior to hard shutdown | 18:25 |
lcuk | javispedro, using the code from arecord you could theoretically produce a marginally more optimal set of routines | 18:25 |
DocScrutinizer | lcuk: definitely not | 18:26 |
javispedro | (well, you could do something in kernel-land =) ) | 18:26 |
javispedro | that would be faster too =) | 18:26 |
DocScrutinizer | of course | 18:26 |
DocScrutinizer | for all I know arecord code sahould be "optimum" | 18:26 |
javispedro | but I do believe there's _was_ a "scenario", which was how fmrx was done originally | 18:26 |
javispedro | that is, using one of the bypasses | 18:27 |
lcuk | javispedro, rm_work do you guys remember when I designed: http://liqbase.net/liq.20081102_235650.gary.scr.png | 18:27 |
DocScrutinizer | you can tune it by passing weird parameters like mmap etc | 18:27 |
rm_work | yes | 18:27 |
rm_work | lcuk: yeah that was lulzy a bit | 18:27 |
lcuk | I dug out the sketches used for the design :) | 18:27 |
DocScrutinizer | but there's no feature of ALSA api that's not supported by arecord afaik | 18:27 |

*** kwtm has joined #maemo | 18:28 | |
rm_work | lcuk: i still am not sure exactly how that would work, as the colors displayed would be different depending on the brightness :P so it's a moving target | 18:28 |
ShadowJK | chem|st, stop bme once you get your usual low battery warning. start "./charge21.sh" and "./bq2700.sh 5", monitor the bw window waiting for EDV1 column to change to 1. There'll also be a warning popup from bq27200.sh. Connect charger immediately. Wait until 15% charge. Disconnect charger. Wait 30s. Stop charge21.sh (ctrl-c). "start bme", wait 30s, connect charger. | 18:28 |
rm_work | i guess it could be done, but seemed odd to me | 18:29 |
lcuk | rm_work, it always is | 18:29 |
rm_work | rather I would just expect a slider | 18:29 |
DocScrutinizer | lcuk: javispedro: so the main problem of arecord|aplay is the | ;-) | 18:29 |
rm_work | IE, what ABL did :P | 18:29 |
lcuk | but it is clear that min/max is all the way across the screen | 18:29 |
rm_work | yeah | 18:29 |
lcuk | and low at the left and high at the right | 18:29 |
rm_work | which makes it, essentially, just as good as a slider, but with extra color :P | 18:29 |
lcuk | the slider was listed as first principle | 18:29 |
lcuk | the extra bit is the granuality | 18:29 |
rm_work | yeah | 18:30 |
lcuk | there was so many people (nokia included) saying "you only need 4 steps" | 18:30 |
DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: sounds nifty | 18:30 |
lcuk | and others saying, I need 255 steps in 0.0000001 step increments | 18:30 |
rm_work | that part is intriguing i suppose.... top slider puts you in ranges of 64 or so, and then second puts you in ranges of 8 inside that | 18:30 |
lcuk | yeah | 18:30 |
rm_work | and the bottom slider is all 8 | 18:30 |
* lcuk nods | 18:30 | |
rm_work | yeah, i like the design actually | 18:31 |
rm_work | but it's SOOOOO BIG | 18:31 |
rm_work | omfg | 18:31 |
lcuk | that is the bit that doesn't matter | 18:31 |
rm_work | i feel like it belongs in a settings menu under "show me the crazy-huge advanced version" | 18:31 |
rm_work | not as the default, but as a crazy config option for the "more concerned" | 18:31 |
chem|st | ShadowJK: where do I get the charge21.sh and what does it do? | 18:32 |
lcuk | rm_work, when it is in the control panel, it is the same size as a brightness icon | 18:32 |
rm_work | yeah, i guess it pops down and onscures the whole screen, but that's ok, since it's temporary anyway | 18:32 |
lcuk | so it was never crazy huge level | 18:32 |
rm_work | *obscures | 18:33 |
lcuk | http://liqbase.net/liq.20090625_222814.lib.scr.png | 18:33 |
lcuk | rm_work, all this just came back and being reviewed because I collated all the sketches ever drawn | 18:33 |
DocScrutinizer | lcuk: you're aware the human eye can't tell brightness changes < *2 / *.5 ? | 18:33 |
lcuk | and selected those which had decent info on them | 18:33 |
rm_work | heh | 18:33 |
lcuk | DocScrutinizer, not important | 18:33 |
lcuk | and we are not talking about humans, these are linux maemo petrol heads. | 18:34 |
SpeedEvil | DocScrutinizer: Sure it can. | 18:34 |
rm_work | yeah and most people can't tell the difference between reference monitor speakers and a $20 set of earbuds | 18:34 |
*** muelli has quit IRC | 18:34 | |
SpeedEvil | DocScrutinizer: If they are relative, it can go _way_ deeper than that | 18:34 |
rm_work | but people still spend $1000 on them and SWEAR they can | 18:34 |
DocScrutinizer | so with 255 steps for linear brightness you got a reasonable range of max 8 steps for brightness | 18:34 |
DocScrutinizer | HID | 18:34 |
lcuk | DocScrutinizer, choice is more important | 18:34 |
lcuk | "The subsystem can handle 24bit brightness resolution, WHERE are my 16777215 levels???!!!!!" | 18:34 |
DocScrutinizer | SpeedEvil: those aren't relative when it's about brightness setting of LCD-BL | 18:35 |
rm_work | DocScrutinizer: I agree with you for the most part, though I would still allow maybe 10-12 just for super-sensitive people and special cases, so at that point it may as well be a slider | 18:35 |
lcuk | dimmer switches in the home vs regular light switch etc | 18:35 |
chem|st | ShadowJK: http://enivax.net/jk/n900/charge21.sh.txt that one? | 18:36 |
SpeedEvil | For me at least - I want brightness levels lower than the '2 of 255' that is the hw minimum on the n900. | 18:36 |
rm_work | I'm somewhere in the middle between the "crazy Nokians with their 4 brightness levels" and the "nutjobs who want MAXINT brightness adjustments" | 18:36 |

javispedro | sth like gst-launch pulsesrc ! pulsesink shall work | 18:41 |
MohammadAG | arecord + aplay are fast actually, but after sometime... | 18:41 |

DocScrutinizer | javispedro: indeed | 18:49 |
DocScrutinizer | and PA shit might mess up rate | 18:49 |
javispedro | so this would be one situation where pacat would work better than aplay =) | 18:49 |

*** avs has joined #maemo | 18:55 | |
DocScrutinizer | derf: on PA, you bet they are | 18:55 |
derf | I mean in the hardware... way before it gets to software. | 18:55 |
DocScrutinizer | derf: sane drivers know how to deal with that | 18:55 |
derf | You let me know when you find sane drivers. | 18:56 |
DocScrutinizer | PA and L.P. started to come up with a "solution" that simply ignores that fact | 18:56 |
DocScrutinizer | derf: a proper concept does NO assumptions on the accuracy of hw clocks for AD and DA, just syncing buffers in a way that fills/yanks frames or buffer segments when needed | 18:57 |
DocScrutinizer | derf: you got that problem for syncing audio to a video stream ALL the time | 18:58 |
DocScrutinizer | and there are evidently working concepts how to deal with it | 18:58 |
*** FIQ has quit IRC | 18:58 | |
derf | Syncing audio and video is completely different. | 18:59 |
DocScrutinizer | definitely not | 18:59 |
derf | You just measure the audio playout rate and display video frames accordingly. | 18:59 |
DocScrutinizer | you got still one master clock (usually systemclock) and a number of not synced clocks for the streams that need close supervision and adjustment | 19:00 |
DocScrutinizer | same thing for RTP (VoIP), even more complex there as you not only got your local AD and DA clock and systemclock master, but also those of the far end which you need to sync to | 19:01 |
derf | No one actually uses the system clock to sync audio and video. | 19:02 |
DocScrutinizer | audio / streaming-at-large isn't for noobs | 19:02 |
derf | As for RTP... most things just drop packets and/or invoke PLC to stretch the audio. | 19:02 |

DocScrutinizer | which ALSA does via "plug" and "resample" plugins, on your discretion | 19:16 |

ShadowJK | Considering the architecture for most video players were designed when P3-500 was a reasonable cpu in the "performance" class, where resampling 44.1kHz stereo took 30% CPU, it was never even considered :) | 20:10 |
Jaffa | Morning, all | 20:12 |
DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: it's basically irrelevant what's your master clock. The point is you have to nominate just ONE master clock, and sync all the media streams to that, by either inserting/dropping whole audio snippets (packages) or single samples/frames (which is a sort of poor man's resampling), or by dynamically adjusting the slave clock of the media stream running out of sync. Basically same applies to video. Esp if you're playing a 25fps video | 20:12 |
DocScrutinizer | to a video-card/monitor that's running at an arbitrary vsync of e.g 77.8Hz | 20:12 |
*** promgvm has left #maemo | 20:13 | |
ShadowJK | the good thing is that your video clock is (almost) always faster than your video stream, so there's no need to start interpolating or resampling video in time domain | 20:15 |
DocScrutinizer | indeed | 20:15 |
*** piggz has joined #maemo | 20:15 | |
ShadowJK | but with audio you'd get stutter, crackling or overlapping segments if you had such an approach | 20:15 |
DocScrutinizer | usually doesn't really matter that much - at least on voip that's the common approach | 20:16 |
DocScrutinizer | resample (e.g by alsa plughw plugin) to the roughly correct sample rate for the hw, the insert/drop single (usually) 20ms buffer segments | 20:17 |
ShadowJK | I think people are less sensitive to distortion in telephony for historical reasons | 20:18 |
DocScrutinizer | for that you need a somewhat accurate idea of how much is your audio buffer's fill up | 20:18 |
DocScrutinizer | and it seems that's exactly where PA fails on alsa compatibility plugin | 20:19 |
*** onen|openBmap has quit IRC | 20:19 | |
*** jevin has joined #maemo | 20:20 | |
DocScrutinizer | it never shows up on playing back usual mp3/wav/whatever as in that case your audio hw is the master clock source | 20:20 |
ShadowJK | in many cases it works better than alsa's dmix plugin :-) | 20:20 |
DocScrutinizer | but it spoils your audio as soon as your app tries to closely manage the audio buffer directly | 20:20 |
ShadowJK | dmix is a master of losing buffer fill info | 20:20 |
DocScrutinizer | never seen this happening on twinkle | 20:21 |
DocScrutinizer | there is one alsa function call that sometimes fails, twinkle audiodev takes care to work around this | 20:21 |
DocScrutinizer | iirc it's been exactly about get_buffer_fill_percentage() or buffer_reset() or whatever | 20:22 |

*** qole has joined #maemo | 20:24 | |
*** qole has joined #maemo | 20:24 | |
ShadowJK | you want to know how big the buffer (software and hw buffers) is so you can time video to audio | 20:24 |
ShadowJK | buffer resets are generally so time consuming and messy on alsa you'd be better off making up shit to feed the buffer so it doesn't run empty | 20:25 |
*** tackat has joined #maemo | 20:26 | |
DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: (want to know how big) on ALSA you *define* size of buffer on opening a audiodevice | 20:27 |
DocScrutinizer | if you need low latency close timing control audio, you go for smal segment sizes and also few segment sizes of your audio buffer | 20:28 |
DocScrutinizer | s/few segment sizes/few segments/. | 20:28 |
*** zap has joined #maemo | 20:29 | |
ShadowJK | defininig it only works within the limitations of the harware and the plugins. Every plugin that does something non-trivial adds a buffer. From buffer fill you can calculate a time, but that time is "time until exception", get delay is "time until buffer tail comes out of speaker" | 20:32 |

ShadowJK | DocScrutinizer, from video player pov, I don't need low delay, delay can be whatever and if the audio subsystems buffers 60 secs that's fine too, but whatever the delay is, I want to know it :p | 21:09 |
*** eMHa has quit IRC | 21:09 | |

*** niko has joined #maemo | 21:12 | |
SpeedEvil | jo-erlend: nope. | 21:12 |
ShadowJK | I don't care how big the delay is,because any sensible sized audio buffers will inherently have too big a delay anyway, so I always have to feed the audio much ahead of video anyways | 21:12 |
SpeedEvil | jo-erlend: It charges in hardware to a minimal level, without anything booting up. | 21:12 |
DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: what makes you think "any sensible sized buffer is too big"? | 21:13 |
jo-erlend | when I try to charge using a USB cable to my computer, then it flashes red. If I connect the charger that uses my wall as power source, then nothing happens. Any ideas why this might be the case? | 21:13 |
jacekowski | jo-erlend: connection problems | 21:14 |
DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: ALSA could handle buffers down to 2 segmants of 1 frame each, I guess | 21:14 |
DocScrutinizer | which would mean your app has to have realy short latency when the signal arives, whatever it is SIGIOWAIT or dunno what | 21:15 |
ShadowJK | jo-erlend, no it doesn't indicate a security measure. It indicates that there is a charging problem. The problem could be your dc adapter, cable, plug, port, n900, battery terminals, battery pins, or battery | 21:15 |
ShadowJK | I mean you'd have issues reliably keeping the buffer filled | 21:16 |
*** yigal has joined #maemo | 21:16 | |
jo-erlend | no doubt, it is the plug in the phone that's faulty. I wiggled a little bit and I got that orange light indicating that it was charging and that little shake to indicate that it was switching on, but then it died. | 21:17 |
SpeedEvil | jo-erlend: have you tried replacing the USB cable? | 21:17 |

*** jhb has quit IRC | 21:19 | |
jo-erlend | SpeedEvil, yes. the charger works if I hold it properly. the usb cable only flashes red. | 21:19 |
DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: so use a larger buffer spec when opening the ALSA device, and be sure your delay is N-1 segments * samplerate * frames/segment when your app gets signalled to deliver the next chunk of data - after initial fill up of whole buffer with N segments of data | 21:20 |
ShadowJK | usb cable connected to a hub, laptop, front usb ports on a desktop, back port on a desktop pc? | 21:20 |
*** jhb has joined #maemo | 21:21 | |
DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: that's how buffering is supposed to work | 21:22 |
DocScrutinizer | (of course ALSA has way more nifty things like min-fill and max-fill thresholds etc) | 21:22 |
DocScrutinizer | but basically that's the way things work | 21:22 |
DocScrutinizer | it's quite impossible and also useless to get current delay to a resolution < one segment worth of audio | 21:24 |
ShadowJK | All I want to know is how many bytes are in the buffer, and how much delay there is between buffers empty and sound from speakers stopping (the last one is often sufficiently close to 0 that it doesn't matter). get_delay is supposed to be both combined | 21:24 |
DocScrutinizer | where delay = actual_real_time - currently_played_back_timestamp | 21:25 |
jo-erlend | is it normal for N900 to make a ... muted bell sound when it dies from lack of power? | 21:26 |
*** zakkkkm has joined #maemo | 21:26 | |
DocScrutinizer | yes | 21:26 |
zakkkkm | Should i enable HWSYNC? | 21:27 |
DocScrutinizer | though for me it sounds more like an alien got beaten to death by a piano | 21:27 |
DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: you fill your audio buffe with segment 1 + 2, you start video and audio same moment. When ALSA asks for segment 3 you know it just finsihed with segment 1 | 21:28 |
ShadowJK | actually ideal time ref for get_delay would be audio clock ;p | 21:28 |
DocScrutinizer | (assuming a 2 segments buffer) | 21:28 |
ShadowJK | it works perfectly if you have for example frag-size 1024 and fragments 16 in alsa, because you get buffer fill un multiples of 1024 and get_delay in worst case has granularity similar to that | 21:30 |
DocScrutinizer | if your video is still in timeframe of segment one when alsa asks for segment 3 then you're late on video playback. when you're a large way into timeframe 2 or even started 3 then you'Re too fast with video -do whatever you need to correct it | 21:31 |
DocScrutinizer | same applies for a buffer consisting of 8 or 16 segments accordingly | 21:31 |
ShadowJK | but then all bets are off if you don't talk to the hw device anymore and have to go through a plugin chain, and you get all sorts of weird buffer sizes and fragment numbers, and granularities | 21:31 |

ShadowJK | iirc, the guy who started pulseaudio was also one of those "argh, not yet another audio framework and daemon" guys, amusingly enough :P | 22:11 |
ruskie | most are | 22:11 |
ShadowJK | (maybe that made him actually try use alsa) | 22:11 |
DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: orly? L.P.?? nah! | 22:11 |
*** eMHa has quit IRC | 22:12 | |
ShadowJK | I might be thinking of one of the other projects that started at about same time as pulseaudio :) | 22:13 |
DocScrutinizer | afaict he just looked at ALSA, said "Meh, how's delay handled there? Now this is something I can do better (and ignore all the rest of really highly qualified devel crowd)" | 22:13 |
*** theoriginalgri has joined #maemo | 22:13 | |
DocScrutinizer | he also postulated ALSA has no (working) dmix, and no per app volume (aka softvol plugin) | 22:14 |
DocScrutinizer | fact is dmix always worked for me, while PA caused nothing but pain in hte ass for its implementation of mixing 0 to 0 and eating 30% of CPU to do that | 22:15 |

DocScrutinizer | and the friggin volume-per-app been published by me (rather late after it got available) here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/twinklephone/message/1731 -- when got PukeAudio started? | 22:17 |
ShadowJK | dmix never worked for me. the example confs don't work, and dmix's "stealth" sound daemon hangs all the time :/ | 22:17 |
*** krau has quit IRC | 22:18 | |

*** yigal has quit IRC | 22:20 | |
ShadowJK | You know, alsa might be superior technically in every way, but it doesn't matter if nobody can figure out how to properly set it up | 22:20 |
ruskie | with alsa I mostly wondered why I had to set things up | 22:21 |
ruskie | instead of the thing just working | 22:21 |
ShadowJK | heh :P | 22:21 |
ruskie | oss4 just worked | 22:21 |
ruskie | per-app, multiple apps accessing it | 22:22 |
nox- | that btw also how things are on freebsd | 22:23 |
nox- | oss compatible | 22:23 |
DocScrutinizer | ruskie: just like ALSA did for me, since 1.01 the latest | 22:24 |
DocScrutinizer | actually mostly since 0.99 | 22:25 |
DocScrutinizer | before that dmix wasn't set up correctly by default | 22:25 |
*** cotigao has joined #maemo | 22:25 | |
DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: btw how the hell is PA going to offer better data to user than ALSA, when it got direct access to the hw audiocard, which in the end for PA is... ALSA | 22:26 |
*** eMHa has joined #maemo | 22:27 | |
DocScrutinizer | PA is just hiding the direct access to hw parameters that you get via ALSA API, and gives you info about PA's own borked internals instead | 22:28 |
ShadowJK | Because it doesn't go through dmix, or any other plugins. That's where the problems start :) | 22:28 |
DocScrutinizer | meh | 22:29 |
DocScrutinizer | show me the problems introduced by dmix | 22:29 |
DocScrutinizer | you can do very easily, by using aplay -v | 22:29 |
ShadowJK | First link me a friggin conf of working dmix ;p | 22:29 |
DocScrutinizer | and pasting the diagnostic output - I doubt PA got sth similar | 22:29 |
DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: you won't find any working on your PA infected system | 22:30 |
DocScrutinizer | and sorry, but no - I can't tell you what to do to get rid of PA to test plain dmix | 22:31 |
ShadowJK | My debian box doesn't have pulseaudio | 22:31 |

DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: if there's no similar definition anywhere on your debian system, then go kick somebody else's arse | 22:42 |
DocScrutinizer | this is really bare standard on all boxes I installed since ~5 years | 22:43 |
ShadowJK | /etc/alsa is pretty much empty | 22:43 |
DocScrutinizer | try usr/hsare/alsa | 22:44 |
DocScrutinizer | toldya it's *standard* | 22:44 |
DocScrutinizer | since ALSA0.99 | 22:46 |
DocScrutinizer | or 1.01 | 22:46 |
*** Itschue has quit IRC | 22:46 | |
*** NishanthMenon has quit IRC | 22:46 | |
DocScrutinizer | so no more need to get it into /etc | 22:46 |
DocScrutinizer | NB ALSA got sponsored and maintained by SuSE, and this is from a SuSE(8?) box | 22:47 |
DocScrutinizer | it's quite possible other distros never got the turn to properly set up ALSA on their shit | 22:48 |
DocScrutinizer | and possibly that's also been the *true* reason to start PA | 22:48 |
*** eMHa has joined #maemo | 22:50 | |
DocScrutinizer | and you bet the ALSA integration into distros won't get any better since PA came over us like plague | 22:51 |
ShadowJK | It's not like anyone actually understands how to do "alsa integration"... | 22:53 |
DocScrutinizer | yeah, way too hard to c&p those files in /usr/share/alsa | 22:53 |
DocScrutinizer | I admit frankly I also don't understand all of that, but it "just works" - for me, on OpenSUSE | 22:54 |
*** MoonTiger has joined #maemo | 22:55 | |
MoonTiger | hi guys | 22:55 |
MoonTiger | :) | 22:55 |
DocScrutinizer | yo MoonTiger | 22:55 |
DocScrutinizer | how's life with your new N900? | 22:55 |
MoonTiger | can you help me get the sdk tools set up ? | 22:55 |
MoonTiger | loving it | 22:55 |
MoonTiger | :) | 22:55 |
MoonTiger | i followed the wiki instructions but got nowhere | 22:55 |
MoonTiger | i have the vm running on my windows partition but i hate windows | 22:56 |
MoonTiger | i have an xubuntu partition just for maemo dev work | 22:56 |
MoonTiger | but cannot get it up and running *sigh* | 22:56 |
DocScrutinizer | MoonTiger: join your request with damnshock who should be here as he asked same question in #maemo-ssu and got advised to ask here | 22:56 |
MoonTiger | i'll give it another go but it didn't end well | 22:57 |
MoonTiger | :) | 22:57 |
MoonTiger | i want to wite a sharing plugin for my website | 22:57 |
MoonTiger | then do a few small aps | 22:57 |
MoonTiger | laging a bit too i think | 22:58 |
* DocScrutinizer suggests to open #maemo-get_sdk_up channel, with fixed schedules when an experienced devel is helping newbies to get that pile-o-shit running | 22:58 | |
MoonTiger | heh i'm not technically a noob on either linux or dev work ... or even maemo to be honest ... so i *should* be able to do it | 22:59 |
MoonTiger | i'll try again and report back | 22:59 |
MoonTiger | ;) | 22:59 |
DocScrutinizer | I'll ask x-fade to add 50 karma points to that brave devel's account ;-D | 22:59 |
DocScrutinizer | MoonTiger: it's for sure a good idea to get help here. It seems a LOT of users fail on that enigma | 23:00 |
*** BCMM has joined #maemo | 23:00 | |
MoonTiger | ok thnx ... i want to try again now anyways and it doesnt matter if i screw this whole install up as its just for this | 23:00 |
DocScrutinizer | and there seems to be few to no proper wiki pages to instruct | 23:00 |
merlin1991 | sb comes straight from hell | 23:00 |
DocScrutinizer | indeed merlin1991 | 23:00 |
MoonTiger | it does that | 23:01 |
MoonTiger | maybe its just easier to dev on the N900 itself :) | 23:01 |
merlin1991 | http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Final_SDK_Installation | 23:01 |
merlin1991 | covers it enough though | 23:02 |
merlin1991 | at least I was able to install it that way myself :D | 23:02 |
DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG is a really great instructor when it comes to SDK / SB - I am afraid he got fed up by the job though ;-D | 23:02 |
MoonTiger | merlin1991, yah i went thru that but it leads nowhere | 23:02 |
*** cotigao has quit IRC | 23:02 | |
merlin1991 | but the whole process takes forever | 23:02 |

*** mookie has quit IRC | 23:02 | |

DocScrutinizer | MoonTiger: hint#1: the script there for installation is worth nuttin | 23:03 |
MoonTiger | i figured | 23:03 |
MoonTiger | i'll start over and do it manually | 23:03 |

merlin1991 | I wonder what sb is going todo when I install meego sdk to the same machine | 23:07 |
merlin1991 | prob running some hidden rm -rf /megosdk script :D | 23:07 |
MoonTiger | minimal bootstrap or which install? | 23:08 |
MoonTiger | runtime and all dev pkgs? | 23:08 |
merlin1991 | MoonTiger: what are the other options? | 23:08 |
merlin1991 | yea that sounds reasonable | 23:09 |
MoonTiger | coolio | 23:09 |
merlin1991 | prepare for quite some dl | 23:09 |
MoonTiger | ok well its downloading stuff so thats good :) | 23:09 |
merlin1991 | especially when you come to the nokia binary stuff | 23:09 |
* MoonTiger makes some tea | 23:09 | |
DocScrutinizer | some 2GB, you shoud have twice that free on / | 23:09 |
MoonTiger | i have 14Gb for this partition | 23:09 |
DocScrutinizer | should fit :-) | 23:10 |
DocScrutinizer | scratchbox, the idiot package that installs to / | 23:11 |
merlin1991 | I actually would suggest installing sb to a vm image | 23:11 |
merlin1991 | and instantly making a snapshot after finishing the install | 23:11 |
merlin1991 | I did mess mine up beyond repair | 23:11 |
merlin1991 | twice | 23:11 |
DocScrutinizer | nah, that's level 2 of the adventure | 23:11 |
MoonTiger | its ok ... this partition is like a vm for me | 23:12 |
MoonTiger | chromium and sync is neat | 23:12 |
merlin1991 | yeah but partition != snapshot you can revert to :D | 23:12 |
MoonTiger | its all part of the fun | 23:12 |
snappy | How do I identify which device is the sdcard from the shell? | 23:12 |
DocScrutinizer | however cp -A /scratchbox /SB-backup is surely a good idea if you got the space | 23:13 |
*** Itschue has joined #maemo | 23:13 | |
MoonTiger | i could clonezilla the partition | 23:13 |
merlin1991 | DocScrutinizer: nope that doesn't work | 23:13 |
merlin1991 | tried that :D | 23:13 |
DocScrutinizer | darm, rats!! | 23:13 |
merlin1991 | dies on all the internal weird stuff sb uses fro the emulator | 23:13 |
DocScrutinizer | you mustn't cp while logged in to sb! | 23:13 |
merlin1991 | I did it from outside | 23:14 |
DocScrutinizer | it does nasty bindmount magic | 23:14 |
merlin1991 | but the funniest results I got when trying to git add /scratchbox | 23:14 |
DocScrutinizer | doesn't matter, a mere rm -rf /scratchbox kills your system, when you got sb "started" | 23:14 |
merlin1991 | sb "starts" by default | 23:15 |
merlin1991 | it runs in the bg | 23:15 |
merlin1991 | at least some process does | 23:15 |
DocScrutinizer | not here | 23:15 |
DocScrutinizer | have to do some login or sth | 23:15 |
merlin1991 | yea | 23:15 |
merlin1991 | but I still watch some kind of halting sb worker / whatever msg when shutting down @ the end | 23:15 |
DocScrutinizer | jeeez, that'd be it, SB running by default, from boot | 23:16 |
snappy | I think my sdcard doesn't have a filesystem formatted or a partition, how would I go about doing this in maemo? | 23:16 |
kerio | mkfs? | 23:16 |
merlin1991 | snappy: from the device? | 23:16 |
snappy | yeah | 23:16 |
DocScrutinizer | snappy: filemanager, click-hold ->context menu | 23:17 |
snappy | DocScrutinizer: thanks | 23:17 |
DocScrutinizer | hth | 23:17 |
DocScrutinizer | sometimes it fails, then come back here | 23:17 |
snappy | worked great, formatted and finally mounted. | 23:18 |
DocScrutinizer | \o/ | 23:18 |
merlin1991 | DocScrutinizer: is there a tool to partition on the n900 | 23:18 |
DocScrutinizer | sfdisk | 23:18 |
snappy | ah yes, sfdisk, forgot about that | 23:18 |
DocScrutinizer | though it's not a tool, it's a desease | 23:18 |
DocScrutinizer | I suggest cfdisk | 23:19 |
merlin1991 | last time I did some commandline editing I used fdisk | 23:19 |
merlin1991 | s/editing/partition editing/ | 23:20 |
DocScrutinizer | cfdisk is just "friendly" | 23:20 |
infobot | merlin1991 meant: last time I did some commandline partition editing I used fdisk | 23:20 |
merlin1991 | but sfdisk is all we have on the n900 right? | 23:20 |
DocScrutinizer | while sfdisk is a bitch | 23:20 |
DocScrutinizer | hmm, I got cfdisk, don't ask me where from. Suggest apt-cache search | 23:20 |
merlin1991 | gnu tools? | 23:21 |
DocScrutinizer | prolly | 23:21 |
merlin1991 | there's actually a cfdisk package | 23:21 |
MoonTiger | wow a lot of stuff being installed | 23:22 |
DocScrutinizer | ya bet | 23:22 |
* MoonTiger makes more tea | 23:22 | |
merlin1991 | the trickiest thing about sb is to find out where you're supposed to put your damn source | 23:22 |
DocScrutinizer | can I get a cup? | 23:22 |
DocScrutinizer | hehehe | 23:22 |
merlin1991 | I wanted to compile just a hello world and spend 30 mins finding out all the nasty rebinding sb does when switching targets | 23:23 |
MoonTiger | merlin1991, yah | 23:23 |
MoonTiger | the whole sb thing is a bit confusing to me tbh | 23:23 |
DocScrutinizer | /scratchbox/users/jr/home/jr/starhash-enabler/debian/changelog | 23:23 |
merlin1991 | I also didn't get it why sb ships it's own git within sb when you're going to use outside code editor and versioning anyway | 23:23 |
DocScrutinizer | YMMV | 23:24 |
ShadowJK | I'm even more confused when I use a VM to run an OS to run SB | 23:24 |
merlin1991 | (also the git within sb is really old) | 23:24 |
MoonTiger | ShadowJK, tell me about that one :/ | 23:24 |
MoonTiger | dev for android is way easier to start at least | 23:24 |
DocScrutinizer | MoonTiger: there's been sth called MADDE, never looked into it but aiui it's way more "user friendly" | 23:25 |
merlin1991 | DocScrutinizer: only as far as you have no external dependencies | 23:26 |
DocScrutinizer | mhm | 23:26 |
DocScrutinizer | yeah, gather as much | 23:26 |
merlin1991 | if you have them it's more convienent to get into sb and you apt in there | 23:26 |
DocScrutinizer | it's strictly app (Qt?) development | 23:26 |
merlin1991 | it is, but ofc you can get it to accept your libs too :D | 23:26 |
MoonTiger | not sure about qt | 23:26 |
Itschue | hello | 23:27 |
DocScrutinizer | anyway for /scratchbox/users/jr/home/jr/starhash-enabler/debian/changelog or whatever it's for you, you better get a symlink or even bindmount | 23:28 |
merlin1991 | unless you just love it to type long paths into your term | 23:28 |
DocScrutinizer | to /scratchbox/users/jr/home/jr/YourProject actually | 23:29 |

merlin1991 | because it's sb-conf | 23:34 |

MoonTiger | ;) | 23:34 |
merlin1991 | damn it | 23:34 |
merlin1991 | maybe you did another package too? :D | 23:34 |
MoonTiger | wtf is it asking me "terminal type" for? | 23:34 |
DocScrutinizer | but of course I used x86-kate to edit those files | 23:35 |
merlin1991 | when I first tried doing something in sb I came from a win / visual studio bg | 23:36 |

merlin1991 | especially when navigating multiple code files | 23:36 |
merlin1991 | the thing I missed most was the go to definition part | 23:37 |

MoonTiger | ummmmm any idea why its asking me for my terminal type? | 23:38 |
merlin1991 | nope | 23:38 |
DocScrutinizer | merlin1991: keep in mind SB is some kinda chroot, and you should look at it like a black (well gray) box, using your normal tools to edit, copy, whatnot inside that lengthy path | 23:38 |
DocScrutinizer | just kickof a compile run in SB, then go back to your used tools to continue hunting bugs | 23:38 |
merlin1991 | DocScrutinizer: I realized that, and then failed in the attempt to set up a working eclipse environment | 23:39 |
merlin1991 | that's about where I gave up :D | 23:39 |
DocScrutinizer | hmm, I never got eclipse to really work for me as well, sth with git(?) always made me scratch head and give up on it | 23:40 |
DocScrutinizer | that's basically why I refuse to touch that whole crap | 23:40 |
