* javispedro prefers synaptic's circular scrolling instead of twofinger | 01:06 | |

ali1234 | what does cssu have to do with it? | 02:19 |
*** Necc has quit IRC | 02:20 | |
ali1234 | i would probably try to launch just the ux from a chroot if i was going to try it | 02:22 |
*** rcg has quit IRC | 02:23 | |
ali1234 | you'll have to kill hildon and disabl the watchdog though | 02:23 |
javispedro | why | 02:26 |
javispedro | I mean, most of meegotouch runs without such ado | 02:26 |
ali1234 | because running two window managers isn't going to work very well? | 02:27 |
*** chigga has joined #maemo | 02:27 | |
javispedro | ah, you mean the sw watchdog | 02:27 |
*** Scifig has quit IRC | 02:27 | |
ali1234 | i mean whatever it is that reboots the phone if hildon exits | 02:27 |
*** Soder has joined #maemo | 02:28 | |
javispedro | either way, if you plan to use the stock kernel, biggest issue is softfp sgx libraries | 02:28 |
ali1234 | why is that an issue? can't link to them? | 02:29 |
javispedro | not easily... | 02:29 |
javispedro | sgx libs have plenty of FP parameter passing -- not going to work unless you make a wrapper. | 02:30 |
*** the_lord has quit IRC | 02:30 | |
javispedro | and I'm not sure wheter the CE hardfp libraries will work with the stock n900 kernel, but most probably don't. | 02:31 |
javispedro | if you want to get as of now the most similar ui to n9, just apt-get meegotouch (yes, it's there), and scp the theme files from harmattan. won't get swipe, but then swipe in n900 would be pain imho. | 02:32 |
* ieatlint wonders how long before swype takes an issue with swipe | 02:33 | |
ali1234 | isn't it more about getting the apps? | 02:33 |
*** inz has joined #maemo | 02:33 | |
javispedro | but I do not think you're getting the propietary apps working with stock kernel. | 02:34 |
javispedro | maybe if you do the above but on top of meegoCE instead of maemo ;) | 02:35 |
ali1234 | yeah i was just thinking that | 02:35 |
ali1234 | can you make reverse debs like you can with rpms? | 02:35 |
javispedro | no idea what that is. | 02:36 |
javispedro | but does not sound like the hard part. | 02:36 |
ali1234 | well with rpm you can query the list of files installed by each rpm, and then reconstruct the original rpm from the filesystem | 02:36 |
javispedro | ah. | 02:36 |
Hurrian | ...so either we fix the CE kernel or hack up the 2.6.32 kernel? | 02:36 |
ali1234 | thus turning an installed system back into a repository | 02:36 |
ali1234 | then you can install those rpms somewhere else :) | 02:37 |
javispedro | Hurrian: fix what? | 02:37 |
Hurrian | to make it boot Harmattan | 02:37 |
Hurrian | de-adaptation | 02:37 |
javispedro | but what's broken. | 02:37 |
Hurrian | actually, we have to break it nokia's way ;) | 02:38 |
javispedro | forget about just flashing image, which is I think what you want to do. | 02:38 |
*** Ido__ has left #maemo | 02:39 | |
*** n6pfk has quit IRC | 02:39 | |
javispedro | chroot as ali1234 suggested, and start component by component. do not ever run one single initscript from the image. | 02:39 |
ali1234 | try booting the n950 kernel on n900, see what happens :) | 02:39 |
javispedro | different audio setup at least ;) | 02:39 |
ali1234 | where did it branch from mainline? | 02:39 |
ali1234 | just rebuild it with rx51 support :) | 02:40 |
*** petterw has quit IRC | 02:40 | |
javispedro | that _might_ work. | 02:40 |
ali1234 | there is plenty of stuff to try | 02:40 |
ali1234 | most of it probably won't work | 02:40 |
javispedro | cause I bet they did harmattan testing on n900, so it's probably not much rotten. | 02:40 |
*** s1gk1ll has quit IRC | 02:40 | |
ali1234 | and none of it will work without lots of hacking | 02:41 |
*** s1gk1ll has joined #maemo | 02:41 | |
javispedro | but either way. | 02:41 |
SpeedEvil | It would be fascinating if you could get alien firmware working. | 02:41 |
*** muellisoft is now known as Muelli | 02:41 | |
javispedro | You might not need anything other than the meegoCE kernel... | 02:41 |
*** Soder has quit IRC | 02:41 | |
SpeedEvil | Even if only from the dev POV | 02:41 |
*** Soder has joined #maemo | 02:41 | |
javispedro | SpeedEvil: what do you mean? -- people get e.g. gentoo running on it daily. | 02:42 |
SpeedEvil | javispedro: I mean n950 fw on n900 | 02:42 |
javispedro | that's more concrete than alien ;P </nitpick> | 02:42 |
SpeedEvil | I should read backscroll, I thoguht that was clear. | 02:42 |
Hurrian | javispedro, i did it the meego-CE way | 02:43 |
*** inz has quit IRC | 02:43 | |
javispedro | SpeedEvil: don't mind. It's just that I though you used "alien" to specifically mean more alien than another maemo release ;) | 02:44 |
Hurrian | copy to sd card, flasher -l | 02:44 |
Hurrian | not flashing using flasher! | 02:44 |
*** MetalGearSolid has quit IRC | 02:44 | |
ali1234 | i thought you were talking about the thing that turns rpms into debs... | 02:44 |
javispedro | hah. | 02:44 |
ali1234 | Hurrian: so you dd the ext4 image to a sd partition and then boot a meego kernel with root=sd card partition | 02:45 |
javispedro | therefore ran all harmattan init scripts, including the one that does mtdswap on some mtd partition. | 02:45 |
*** Evanescence has joined #maemo | 02:45 | |
ali1234 | yeah i wouldn't really expect that to work too well | 02:45 |
ali1234 | maybe if you edit the initscripts to just give you a root shell | 02:46 |
ali1234 | and then try to load stuff up 1 at a time | 02:46 |
*** mitsutaka has joined #maemo | 02:46 | |
Hurrian | ali1234: yup | 02:48 |
Hurrian | javispedro, what is mtdswap? | 02:48 |
javispedro | Hurrian: exactly what it says on the tin: swap on mtd. | 02:48 |
Hurrian | ah | 02:48 |
Hurrian | wow, that seems like a really bad idea | 02:49 |
Hurrian | swap... on mtd | 02:49 |
alterego | I wonder if it's the same on N9 | 02:50 |
javispedro | you prefer on eMMC card with completely propietary and probably weak wear management firmware? | 02:50 |
*** Smily has joined #maemo | 02:50 | |

cehteh | doa :) | 02:50 |
ali1234 | hey, here's an idea, why don't we make a mobile OS that doesn't need 1GB ram to run | 02:50 |
ali1234 | we could call it... symbian | 02:50 |
*** KMFDM has quit IRC | 02:50 | |
alterego | ali1234: a mobile os shouldn't need that to run :P | 02:51 |
alterego | F'ing ubuntu doesn't need that to run .. | 02:51 |
javispedro | ali1234: maybe it's not on n9, cause of 1GiB RAM. Also, ramzswap is around. | 02:51 |
cehteh | careless apps do and bling does | 02:51 |
ali1234 | lol ubuntu... | 02:51 |
alterego | N950 has 1G ram | 02:51 |
ali1234 | my ubuntu runs really fast now that i have 16gb | 02:51 |
cehteh | has the n9 ramzswap? | 02:51 |
ali1234 | 4gb was NOT enough | 02:51 |
alterego | ali1234: I run it on machines with less than qG fine | 02:51 |
alterego | 1G .. | 02:51 |
ali1234 | the speed difference is incredible now | 02:52 |
ali1234 | firefox almost never freezes. almost | 02:52 |
javispedro | hah | 02:52 |
alterego | Hah | 02:52 |
alterego | firefox, the new emacs :) | 02:52 |
javispedro | have to say that's probably rotary media large cache in effect. | 02:52 |
alterego | Shame I like 'em both :D | 02:53 |
ali1234 | probably, coupled with firefox's retarded "i want to manage my own cache" policy | 02:53 |
javispedro | ali1234: on a 16GiB it may make sense to install preload and all the adaptative crap, if you can stand the hard disk activity. | 02:53 |
cehteh | the nice thing about 32 bit firefox builds is that it never needs more than 4GB ram :P | 02:53 |
ali1234 | which combined with ubuntu's relatively high swappiness value leads to disk cache getting cached in disk cache, and ram cache getting swapped to disk | 02:54 |
javispedro | cehteh: but it crashes!! | 02:54 |
* cehteh once ran the 32bit ff on his 64 bit laptop :P | 02:54 | |
cehteh | in a 'keepalive' loop | 02:54 |
javispedro | cehteh: I'm sure you can implement the same "bug" on amd64 using ulimit or similar | 02:54 |
DocScrutinizer | nevertheless, did it: http://www.developer.nokia.com/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=219 | 02:54 |
povbot | Bug 219: submenus do not open, timing issue | 02:54 |
javispedro | povbot: bad bot! | 02:54 |
povbot | javispedro: Error: "bad" is not a valid command. | 02:54 |
Hurrian | hmm, phone calls work, and i can see the N900's MAC address on my router, and it doesn't ask for lock code | 02:54 |
Hurrian | mtd1 seems to be OK | 02:55 |
*** kimitake is now known as kimitake_idle | 02:55 | |
javispedro | Hurrian: what saved you is that nokia keeps using mtd1 and mtd2 for the same in n950/n9 | 02:56 |
Hurrian | hmm, so i'm guessing it actually tried to swap on mtd5 | 02:56 |
javispedro | ...but the rest.. | 02:56 |
Hurrian | or something else | 02:56 |
cehteh | #!/bin/sh | 02:56 |
cehteh | $@ || exec $0 $@ | 02:56 |
alterego | It's all the same device | 02:56 |
Hurrian | javispedro : :) | 02:56 |
javispedro | alterego: he tried to run the harmattan image on n900. | 02:56 |
javispedro | alterego: initscripts et all. | 02:57 |
alterego | javispedro: eeek! | 02:57 |
alterego | baby steps please? | 02:57 |
ali1234 | well you never know, sometimes these things just work | 02:57 |
alterego | Also, good luck getting celmo to work ... #justsaying | 02:57 |
FIQ | wat | 02:57 |
Hurrian | alterego ++ | 02:57 |
FIQ | did it actually work...? | 02:57 |
ali1234 | no :) | 02:57 |
Hurrian | the dmesg showed BB5 errors | 02:57 |
javispedro | alterego: no, it didn't work -- I bet mtdswap scripts corrupted rootfs partition | 02:57 |
ali1234 | was worth a try though | 02:57 |
FIQ | oh, ok then | 02:57 |
SpeedEvil | alterego: It'd be quite interesting even without cellmo | 02:58 |
javispedro | Hurrian: that is aegis | 02:58 |
SpeedEvil | And I have a n900 with a broken modem anyway :) | 02:58 |
Hurrian | i'm guessing it's because nokia's still not using ofono for Harmattan? | 02:58 |
Hurrian | or whatever stack CE people use | 02:58 |
javispedro | but aegis should work without bb5 (as in qemu) -- it will just boot in open mode. | 02:58 |
alterego | SpeedEvil: indeed, I'm not against the idea, but I happen to know that some people that maybe a bit more "in the know" know it's not an easy task | 02:58 |
SpeedEvil | alterego: Oh - I'm not disagreeing. | 02:59 |
SpeedEvil | alterego: I woul dbe astonished if it's simple. | 02:59 |
alterego | cellmo was bought up | 02:59 |
Hurrian | fun fact: N9 now has initrd. | 02:59 |
* javispedro thinks it is probably simple to run swipe mcompositor in meegoCE, just by copying the binary... and most of the apps, in a chroot. | 02:59 | |
alterego | Hurrian: both maemo and harmattan use telepathy ring | 02:59 |
DocScrutinizer | cehteh: ??? | 02:59 |
alterego | It's the firmware that'll kill cell mo functionality | 02:59 |
Hurrian | i guess the 2M kernel size limitation was ridiculous even for Nokia | 03:00 |
cehteh | DocScrutinizer: what? | 03:00 |
alterego | javispedro: ++ | 03:00 |
DocScrutinizer | cehteh:$@ || exec $0 $@ ??? | 03:00 |
cehteh | keepalive script | 03:00 |
cehteh | (simplest version) | 03:00 |
DocScrutinizer | *cough* | 03:00 |
cehteh | if programm dies then restart :) | 03:00 |
cehteh | i recommend to add a sleep 1 before restarting, in case it constantly dies | 03:01 |
DocScrutinizer | indeed | 03:01 |
cehteh | also i have a more elaborate version of this script meanwhile taking a few options | 03:01 |
DocScrutinizer | sudo keepalive false will freeze your box | 03:01 |
*** the_lord has joined #maemo | 03:02 | |
FIQ | that's a nice way to do it | 03:02 |
javispedro | alterego: you should know that qgil posted on a TMO thread about extracting harmattan stuff to run on N900, telling them to go ask #meego-arm or f.m.c. I believe this also implicitly says Nokia is not going to pursue copyright aspects. | 03:02 |
Hurrian | alterego , i dont feel like force flashing N950 CMT image onto N900 ;) | 03:02 |
javispedro | giving "green" light in a sense for such a project. | 03:02 |
GAN900 | qgil being the copyright holder and whatnot. | 03:02 |
GAN900 | It's a trap! | 03:02 |
ali1234 | yeah i did wonder about that | 03:03 |
GAN900 | But, seriously, when have they ever pursued copyright issues? | 03:03 |
*** Parslee has joined #maemo | 03:03 | |
Hurrian | that would result in an instant trip to the fbus | 03:03 |
GAN900 | They were encouraging people to mirror firmware releases in '08. | 03:03 |
javispedro | hehe. | 03:03 |
cehteh | http://www.pipapo.org/snippets/keepalive | 03:03 |
alterego | Hurrian: it's the incompatibilities that'll stop it | 03:04 |
DocScrutinizer | Hurrian: you can not force flash N950 cmt fw to N900 | 03:04 |
Hurrian | BB5 security and all | 03:04 |
Hurrian | right? | 03:05 |
DocScrutinizer | right | 03:05 |
Hurrian | yeah, had a short stint with unlocking phones a few years ago | 03:05 |
ali1234 | how about if you extract the filesystems and build a new fiasco image from them. that should work right? | 03:05 |
ali1234 | i mean it will flash | 03:05 |
ali1234 | it won't "work" | 03:05 |
ali1234 | but flasher would accept it | 03:05 |
SpeedEvil | Is the modem actually a different modem? | 03:05 |
Hurrian | yeah, you can use fiasco-gen to make a UBIFS image for n900 device | 03:06 |
javispedro | it won't work, but the ebay bidders you're going to sell such a FIASCO image to won't know that!! | 03:06 |
alterego | I'd do pieces at a time | 03:06 |
DocScrutinizer | SpeedEvil: good question | 03:06 |
ali1234 | shouldn't even need to be ubifs | 03:06 |
SpeedEvil | Hmm. | 03:06 |
alterego | get it to boot the rootfs first (minimal scripts) .35 kernel | 03:06 |
DocScrutinizer | SpeedEvil: given the fact it's pentaband UMTS id's say it's sufficiently different | 03:06 |
* SpeedEvil ponders selling a painted n900 with upgraded firmware on ebay. | 03:06 | |
SpeedEvil | DocScrutinizer: true. | 03:06 |
Hurrian | ali1234: i feel queasy about running ext4 on a onenand | 03:07 |
alterego | But the whole cellular stack would need to be replaced with meego ofono .. | 03:07 |
Hurrian | oh, are nokia going to take down the firmware servers? | 03:07 |
ali1234 | it won't fit anyway | 03:07 |
Hurrian | that would suxxor | 03:07 |
alterego | The tele ring stuff in harmattan is incompatible with N900 cell mo. From what I've gathered. | 03:07 |
Hurrian | and btw, Harmattan rootfs compressed with zlib (btrfs) is about 700 MB | 03:07 |
Hurrian | ~3x the size of onenand | 03:08 |
Hurrian | it's even bigger when compressed with ubifs' lzo | 03:08 |
javispedro | harmattan uses btrfs? | 03:08 |
ali1234 | no, it uses ext4 | 03:08 |
alterego | Hurrian: all runs off eMMC on N950 | 03:08 |
Hurrian | javispedro, no, just made another sd card with btrfs | 03:08 |
javispedro | Hurrian: ah | 03:08 |
Hurrian | if the first one worked, better see if this one boots faster | 03:08 |
Hurrian | unfortunately, the first one made me reflash | 03:08 |
javispedro | considering both meegoCE and harmattan have both independently chosen ext4 over btrfs.. | 03:09 |
javispedro | (note: don't know the details behind the decision, just results) | 03:09 |
cehteh | btrfs has still some known issues | 03:09 |
Hurrian | cehteh ++ | 03:09 |
SpeedEvil | ext4 on flash is a debatable decision indeed | 03:09 |
Hurrian | ENOSPCs everywhere | 03:09 |
cehteh | enospc is fixed meanwhile | 03:09 |
Hurrian | uncleanly unmounted BTRFS FSes can KP you when mounted | 03:09 |
Hurrian | that is a bitch | 03:09 |
Hurrian | definitely not worth the 10 seconds of boot i save on rotating media | 03:10 |
FIQ | ext4 w/o journal? | 03:10 |
cehteh | but failing to write to the superblock gives a kernel panic and possibly leaves a corrupted fs behind | 03:10 |
FIQ | or is it w/journal? | 03:10 |
alterego | Yeah, btrfs caused a lot of problems with battery popping | 03:10 |
cehteh | ext4 on the n900 works well for me | 03:10 |
FIQ | because journaling FS wouldn't make sense on flash memory.. | 03:10 |
Hurrian | ext4 without journal? wtf? | 03:10 |
cehteh | FIQ: why that? | 03:11 |
alterego | ext4 without journal is like, well, ext2 :P | 03:11 |
cehteh | you need barriers and some gurantees about writes | 03:11 |
javispedro | alterego: not really | 03:11 |
FIQ | as you never know what order things is written on it? | 03:11 |
Hurrian | probably the jnl should be write-balanced | 03:11 |
cehteh | nah you still get delalloc which is quite cool | 03:11 |
Hurrian | also, no one uses full journaling | 03:11 |
javispedro | alterego: most of the innovation in FSs comes from algorithms, not ondisk data structures, which is why I dislike btrfs. | 03:12 |
alterego | javispedro: is that just ext3 then? :) | 03:12 |
cehteh | FIQ: thats more a firmware thing | 03:12 |
cehteh | but not a flash fault per se | 03:12 |
FIQ | ok | 03:12 |
javispedro | alterego: so ext4 without journaling is like ext2 with extends from a ondisk structures PoV, but uises the ext4 code, so it's faster. | 03:12 |
FIQ | then i learned something new | 03:12 |
alterego | javispedro: ah right | 03:12 |
cehteh | alterego: extents and delayed allocation make using ext4 favorable alone | 03:12 |
javispedro | *extents | 03:12 |
alterego | neay, well, g'night folks. | 03:13 |
cehteh | then set laptop mode to 600 or such .. and you get very infrequent well ordered writes | 03:13 |
alterego | neat .. | 03:13 |

javispedro | Nokia Maps is still sloooow to launch. | 05:14 |
ieatlint | :( | 05:14 |
ieatlint | like how long? | 05:14 |
ieatlint | >10s? | 05:14 |
SpeedEvil | Does anyone happen to have heard of linux drivers for the nokia DAB radio? | 05:14 |
SpeedEvil | http://www.nokia.co.uk/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/headsets-accessories/wired-headsets/nokia-digital-radio-headset-dab/specifications | 05:14 |
javispedro | ieatlint: 12 seconds | 05:15 |
ieatlint | yeah, 12 is too long. i understand the technical issues that make it take longer than google maps on iphone/android | 05:15 |
javispedro | hum | 05:15 |
javispedro | for some reason the Drip app starts up faster. | 05:15 |
ieatlint | but the user doesn't care as much | 05:15 |
javispedro | *Drive | 05:15 |
javispedro | not drip, lol. | 05:15 |
ieatlint | i know that if you make a QML app that uses the Map element, it'll load very quickly | 05:16 |

javispedro | you think it works =) | 05:20 |
javispedro | I'm sure pulseaudio crapped on itself when the drive app showed that non responding dialog | 05:20 |
MohammadAG | nah, with 1GB of RAM, nothing can go wrong! | 05:21 |
ieatlint | yes, nothing, ever | 05:23 |
javispedro | cause it runs multiple copies of harmattan using vmware mobile and it switches randomly to one that works from time to time | 05:24 |

Hurrian | god damn, nokia | 05:24 |
MohammadAG | javispedro, randomly and works? wow | 05:24 |
ieatlint | the nfc bluetooth pairing is long overdue | 05:25 |
Hurrian | it's not running a dalvik vm with sloppy memory collection | 05:25 |
javispedro | MohammadAG: statistics say that might work. | 05:25 |
ieatlint | the nokia 6121 back in 2007 supported it, but there pretty much were no devices | 05:25 |

*** javispedro has left #maemo | 05:26 | |

ieatlint | MohammadAG: still annoying :P | 05:27 |
MohammadAG | and you just click pair | 05:27 |
MohammadAG | only works with new devices though | 05:27 |
ieatlint | nfc bt pairing is also more intuitive | 05:29 |

ieatlint | nfc pairing makes more sense | 05:31 |
Hurrian | nfc pairing makes so much sense | 05:31 |
Hurrian | not just because of the pairing speed | 05:31 |
Hurrian | i mean, you put 2 devices together, even a baby can do it | 05:31 |
ieatlint | it's also versatile pairing, you can create an nfc tag that says "connect to this wifi network with this password, then go download this mp3 file via ftp, and then play it" | 05:32 |

ieatlint | eh, yeah, it's not foolproof | 05:33 |
*** kW_ has quit IRC | 05:34 | |
ieatlint | but for the step i mentioned above, there would be a prompt to pair with the network, a prompt to download the file and a prompt to play it | 05:34 |

*** maybeArgh has quit IRC | 05:34 | |

Hurrian | and you're screwed when you dont have good lighting | 05:36 |
DocScrutinizer | you know of that (back when) IRDA billboard poster wall, that told users "hold your device here to join the competition for the holiday", and then made the user's phones send an sms and downloaded all the contacts from his phonebook? | 05:36 |
Hurrian | as said, nfc for quick setup (hmm, tap here for wifi setup) instead of entering a long-ass code | 05:37 |
Hurrian | goodbye AOSS | 05:37 |
ieatlint | DocScrutinizer: yeah, that's awesome | 05:37 |
ieatlint | the SMS part exists with nfc (with a user prompt), but the downloading of the phone book doesn't | 05:38 |
Hurrian | in before bugged NFC software | 05:38 |
ieatlint | unless you manage get the phone to install an app that steals it | 05:38 |
Hurrian | it's probably not in the protocol, it's probably in the firmware | 05:39 |
ieatlint | definitely possible | 05:39 |
Hurrian | "this only affects certain models of android smartphones made by $GENERIC_DROID_MAKER" | 05:39 |
ieatlint | nah, that's not likely... it would almost definitely be part of the higher nfc stack | 05:40 |
Hurrian | hmm, OTA seems to make sense now | 05:40 |
ieatlint | shame the n950 lacks nfc :( | 05:42 |

DocScrutinizer | via HAM! | 06:40 |
jonwil | ok, great | 06:40 |
DocScrutinizer | oh, and forget the liked wikipage, seems terribly outdated | 06:41 |
jonwil | thinking about it though, if I had thought more clearly I might have been able to save my rootfs with a bit more work. But given that it was already 2am and I was so damn tired, I sort of gave up, backed it up and reflashed :P | 06:43 |
jonwil | once my phone is back to normal and suitable recovery options are installed, I can then go back to figuring out how to get dbus-monitor to display the dbus signals I want it to display :) | 06:45 |
jonwil | the ones sent between mce and systemui | 06:46 |

*** mva_irggu has joined #maemo | 06:48 | |
SpeedEvil | Have you tried turning it off and on again? | 06:50 |
*** n900evil has joined #maemo | 06:51 | |
robbiethe1st | I was trying to add terminal support to backupmenu, and loaded the following modules: fbcon, font, bitblit, and softcursor.ko, then added them to my BM startup script. When I shut down maemo afterwards, I saw a console after x shut down. Booting into backupmenu also worked; I saw the console correctly. But, attempting to boot back into maemo resulted in a boot-loop: nokia screen, black, etc. | 06:52 |
robbiethe1st | Not the 5-dots loop, just nokia screen. | 06:52 |
robbiethe1st | Now, I have a recovery console open on the device, so I can mess with it. | 06:53 |
robbiethe1st | But I don't know what to check. Any pointers for debugging? | 06:53 |
ieatlint | SpeedEvil: don't mix those two steps up or it really won't work | 06:53 |
SpeedEvil | robbiethe1st: Remove all from your script, and add them back one by one? | 06:54 |
robbiethe1st | I did. I commented them all out, rebooted into BM, then rebooted... same deal. | 06:54 |
SpeedEvil | hmm | 06:55 |
robbiethe1st | cat /proc/bootreason gives 'sw_rst' | 06:56 |
SpeedEvil | watchdog | 06:56 |
robbiethe1st | It seemed a bit to quick for that... | 06:56 |
*** n900evil has quit IRC | 06:56 | |
robbiethe1st | Usuallly, it takes ~60 seconds. this takes ~15 pre cycle | 06:56 |
robbiethe1st | (60 seconds for watchdog reboot) | 06:56 |
SpeedEvil | hmm | 06:57 |
SpeedEvil | That's about the 'normal' boot time - when it boots but doesn't decide to go on | 06:57 |
robbiethe1st | Yea; I | 06:57 |
robbiethe1st | I'd expect the 5 dots after that, but instead just reboot | 06:57 |
DocScrutinizer | err, and you didn't maybe add those *.ko to any /etc/modules or whatever file? | 06:58 |
robbiethe1st | could running 'insmod /path/to/module' have put in any permanent entry? | 06:58 |
DocScrutinizer | dunno, didn't think so | 06:58 |
robbiethe1st | I didn't manually add them to anything but my BM file. | 06:59 |
robbiethe1st | and commented them out. | 06:59 |
DocScrutinizer | hell, cannot be | 06:59 |
DocScrutinizer | btw you say you have a console now, so obviously right now they are not commented out | 06:59 |
robbiethe1st | No; Not on the phone. I've got a remote console over USB | 07:00 |
DocScrutinizer | make a backup of your backup ;-D, then completely replace with a former backup | 07:01 |
jonwil | I think I found the one thing you cant do on a N900 without connecting it to a PC. Updating the Nokia Maps maps :) | 07:01 |
robbiethe1st | (also, running those modules just gives a 'background' console with basically the kernel log - I haven't been able to get an *interactive* terminal yet) | 07:01 |
DocScrutinizer | make sure it boots | 07:01 |

DocScrutinizer | robbiethe1st: I think syslogd pkg will do that for you, eventuallly copying dmesg buffer to var/log/syslog on start of syslogd | 07:09 |
*** kthomas_vh has quit IRC | 07:09 | |

robbiethe1st | Yea. I've been trying to get a console working. I managed something of the sort, but it wouldn't boot up into maemo after that, and a whole lot of weird stuff happened | 08:43 |

robbiethe1st | Nice! I've got ~460 installs of Backupmenu 1.0-RC1 in the last two days. | 08:48 |
jonwil | Nice one, you can count me as one of those installs :) | 08:48 |
jonwil | I just installed it | 08:48 |
robbiethe1st | cool | 08:49 |
jonwil | a terminal sounds good also btw | 08:49 |
jonwil | if you can make it happen | 08:49 |
robbiethe1st | I know. I've been trying off and on for *months*. Unfortunately, stock kernel doesn't have a framebuffer, so no console. | 08:49 |
*** klasu__ has joined #maemo | 08:50 | |
robbiethe1st | I just learned that power-kernel, however, has a framebuffer module. Perfect! | 08:50 |
*** FredrIQ has joined #maemo | 08:50 | |
jonwil | there is a kernel I used yesterday in fixing things that was basically stock kernel + framebuffer | 08:51 |
jonwil | just as long as power-kernel isnt required for backupmenu... | 08:51 |
robbiethe1st | Yea, I've used it too. But I don't really want to force everyone to use that | 08:51 |
robbiethe1st | No, it'll be optional | 08:51 |
jonwil | so it will only be needed for the terminal? | 08:51 |
robbiethe1st | Yup | 08:51 |

* jonwil wishes there were more games for the N900 that suited the N900. Lots of the games in extras dont really suit the N900 | 08:53 | |

robbiethe1st | Facebook, well, I'll never visit it voluntarily. | 08:54 |
jonwil | anyone here got any suggestions for good suitable n900 games to play when on the bus or etc? | 08:54 |
robbiethe1st | To be honest, I found some of those old point-and-click adventures on ScummVM to be perfect | 08:55 |
robbiethe1st | Like, say, Legend of Kyrandia | 08:55 |
robbiethe1st | Graphics look great, audio works, and it runs ~500mhz | 08:55 |
jonwil | Things like Space Quest would be too hard with all the typing | 08:55 |
GeneralAntilles | jonwil, deleted my account a couple years ago. | 08:55 |
*** FredrIQ has quit IRC | 08:55 | |
jonwil | but something like Day Of The Tentacle would be perfect | 08:56 |
jonwil | I have the game files for that somewhere | 08:56 |
jonwil | and I believe it runs on scummvm just fine | 08:56 |
jonwil | will have to look through the scummvm supported games list for some ideas | 08:56 |
GeneralAntilles | jonwil, talk to Fanoush if he's still around. | 08:57 |
GeneralAntilles | Ported ScummVM to OS2007/OS2008. | 08:57 |
jonwil | Also, if anyone knows how to get dbus-monitor to dump the signals being sent from mce to systemui (specifically the tklock_open and tklock_close signals) that would be great | 08:58 |

jonwil | The MCE source code from meego/harmattan helps a little but there are too many changes between Fremantle MCE and Harmattan/MeeGo MCE to give me the whole story | 09:03 |
jonwil | so unless I get a Fremantle version of tklock.c or the relavent info, getting a dbus dump is the only answer :P | 09:03 |

vi__ | the n9/50 really was a genius move, by releasing this essentially worthless dead end piece of shite they have finally managed to remove the most usefull people from maemo onto somthing irrelevant. Now the n900 can finally be put to death. | 14:22 |
Hurrian | they should be ABI-compatible, if nokia's billing it as a meego instance | 14:23 |

*** APTX has quit IRC | 14:25 | |
SpeedEvil | But one could argue that the effort going into porting applications to QML/... is 'wasted', looking at it from the maemo side. | 14:25 |
Hurrian | the N900 has no competition unless you go aava | 14:26 |
alterego | SpeedEvil: why? QML is the commn denominator here. | 14:26 |
Hurrian | and those aava devices are expensive as **** | 14:26 |

*** Malin_ has quit IRC | 14:28 | |
alterego | So the only competition for N900 is N950, which is superior except for no micro sd slot and smaller eMMC mass memory | 14:28 |
alterego | So my N900 will still be in my pocket when I get an N950 | 14:29 |
Hurrian | alterego , not really competition then | 14:29 |

Hurrian | ...still the reigning mobile storage king. | 14:30 |
*** rd has joined #maemo | 14:30 | |
SpeedEvil | alterego: I mean that if a dev has been developing not using Qt - then the effort in porting takes their time. | 14:30 |
alterego | Well, until the 64G N9 comes out, but still lack of memory card slot is mildly annoying | 14:31 |
SpeedEvil | And I'm not saying that porting to Qt is pointless in the long run - and this'd have happened anyway with the n9 coming round the corner | 14:31 |
alterego | SpeedEvil: sure, Coboy is a prime example. | 14:31 |
Hurrian | alterego, we have 32GB EMMC + 32GB uSD + 256MB OneNAND | 14:31 |
alterego | Conboy .. | 14:31 |
Jaffa | SpeedEvil: By porting Hermes to QML & Qt, I can run it on Maemo 5, Symbian, MeeGo & Harmattan. | 14:31 |
alterego | I have 4 and 8 GB micro sds .. so :) | 14:31 |
Jaffa | That's a bit of a win. | 14:31 |
Hurrian | okay, so it's stupid to use onenand for storage, but still | 14:31 |
SpeedEvil | Jaffa: Indeed. | 14:32 |

alterego | Yeah, Jaffa had a valid launchpad account already, so .. :) | 15:43 |
alterego | He'sa luck biatch | 15:43 |
Jaffa | alterego: I'm using it as my primary device instead of my N900 | 15:43 |
Jaffa | alterego: But lack of Google Talk, given it's my primary IM mechanism, is annoyingv | 15:43 |
lbt | ouch | 15:43 |

dm8tbr | major yuck! | 15:44 |
Jaffa | alterego: Apparently later images do; but this is also not indicative of release images. | 15:44 |
macmaN | well ssh -> bitlbee + irssi | 15:44 |
Jaffa | At least swipe.nokia.com says there'll be Twitter in the news feed | 15:44 |
petteri | irssi-xmpp :) | 15:44 |
Jaffa | macmaN: bitlbee? | 15:44 |
lbt | true - early days yet | 15:44 |
* dm8tbr uses xmpp on his n900 extensively | 15:44 | |
macmaN | actually, you dont need to ssh even, you can run bitlbee on the phone cant you | 15:44 |
* Jaffa wants to use irssi via scren when he's on a proper computer but have some kind of scrollback-aware client and IM notification for messages on Harmattan | 15:44 | |
macmaN | i think it should compile relatively easy | 15:45 |
RST38h | Jaffa: I hope someone will write a gtalk plugin though =) | 15:45 |
* dm8tbr is with Jaffa on this one | 15:45 | |
alterego | I think jukka said he'd enquire about N950 images. | 15:45 |
alterego | Harmattan that is. | 15:45 |
macmaN | well yeah obv gui is nice, but until theres nothing... | 15:45 |
dm8tbr | although I'll use irssi-proxy and connect to it with an irc client on the n950 :) | 15:45 |
petteri | at least the n9 i tried had XMPP/gtalk | 15:45 |
dm8tbr | but XMPP is must have | 15:45 |
macmaN | dm8tbr: znc ftw | 15:45 |
Jaffa | macmaN: I'm thinking in terms of the N9, when the lack of a keyboard is going to make anything other than very quick things very annoying very quickly | 15:45 |
macmaN | Jaffa: totally true. terminal based stuff wont work at all. | 15:46 |
alterego | Jaffa: I'll keep the N900 for ssh/screen/irssi | 15:46 |

*** jonwil has quit IRC | 15:47 | |
Jaffa | alterego: Not really had a chance to test properly yet. Certainly feels better than the N900 did at a similar point in its lifecycle. | 15:47 |
macmaN | i cant figure out so far when exactly it gets its internet connection up | 15:47 |
macmaN | looks like as soon as you unlock screen it connect | 15:47 |
macmaN | then disconnects when screen timeouts | 15:47 |
Jaffa | macmaN: Yes, I'd noticed some oddness around there. But I've also SSHed in to it when it's locked | 15:48 |
macmaN | background data settings switch seems to have an effect | 15:48 |
macmaN | a definite improvement is that it just picks a nearby access point now and doesnt make the user go crazy have to wait and make two selections to always do the same thing | 15:49 |
macmaN | i.e. connect to internet and the same AP | 15:49 |

bash` | javispedro: I can't! | 17:20 |
bash` | the battery is too low and the phone doesn't start | 17:21 |
jonwil | Only option seems to be to find another phone that you can use to charge the battery | 17:21 |
Jaffa | RST38h: Here's hoping | 17:21 |
ShadowJK | So you no longer have working maemo install? | 17:21 |
jonwil | or find some kind of external battery charger | 17:21 |
* javispedro ponders if phone charges while stuck in nolo | 17:21 | |
bash` | jonwil: yes, seems that but I know none :( | 17:21 |
javispedro | or at least, emergency charges. | 17:21 |

ShadowJK | javispedro, emergency charge rate is too low for everything except old PR1.2 kernel | 17:22 |
bash` | ShadowJK: yep...I was using meego but the battery level is too low now :( | 17:22 |
ShadowJK | I did notice myself too that meego bme seems to die or something on low battery | 17:22 |
bash` | with the usb charger the phone start after 10 minutes, then I get into meego for a minute, then the phone dead | 17:23 |
*** psycho_oreos has quit IRC | 17:23 | |
ShadowJK | well, and the charger chip wants to charge slow, and is unaware of system load | 17:23 |
bash` | yes | 17:23 |
ShadowJK | I'd definitely not try to do anything with usb | 17:23 |
ShadowJK | I wonder if my charge script works on meego... | 17:24 |
bash` | ShadowJK: please let me try :) | 17:24 |
ShadowJK | but it's such a fucking pain to test anything on meego with no proper terminal | 17:24 |
* RST38h imagines some eurocommiteemember saying "Wouldn't it BE NICE if every EU phone could charge over USB?" | 17:24 | |
ShadowJK | Yeah, unfortunately running USB chipset seems to consume exactly 100mA | 17:25 |
bash` | ShadowJK: yes, I want to develop an application then I installed meego in the eMMC, because microSD is a pain | 17:25 |
javispedro | uSD is pain? wasn't it faster than emmc on the meego kernel? | 17:25 |
bash` | javispedro: which class? | 17:26 |
ShadowJK | they dont have sensible benchmark metrics nor setup | 17:26 |
ShadowJK | class is stupid and mostly irrelevant for anything that is not a camera. | 17:26 |
javispedro | class doesn't matter much imho. | 17:26 |
RST38h | does class matter for our hw?I thought the controller runs at such a slow freq that it makes classirrelevant =) | 17:26 |
bash` | javispedro: I was using class 2 | 17:26 |
ShadowJK | RST38h, well you can do about 14MByte/s to emmc.. | 17:27 |

ShadowJK | Because you've got so little time, i can't imagine you'd be able to download anf run stuff in time | 17:29 |
javispedro | so you're booting meego using flasher -k -l ? | 17:29 |
bash` | ShadowJK: in fact | 17:30 |
bash` | javispedro: no, I don't need the flasher | 17:30 |
javispedro | then you are using uboot? | 17:30 |
bash` | the flasher doesn't see the phone, otherwise I reflash it ;) | 17:30 |
Termana | Anyone that has manually setup the Harmattan SDK with scratchbox: Do I only need to download arm-psdk-nokiameegoapi-beta-rootstrap.tgz and arm-qemu-rm680_linux_i686.tar.gz from here http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/d6-beta.php | 17:30 |
javispedro | there's not much more ways to boot meego than uboot or flasher -k -l.. | 17:30 |
javispedro | Termana: no need for arm-qemu, but you need i386-psdk-nokiameegoapi-* | 17:31 |

bash` | I can download the package, then wait for the next boot | 17:33 |

javispedro | you probably only need to flash stock kernel then let it reboot | 17:34 |
bash` | javispedro: yes, the problem is I can't | 17:34 |
javispedro | if you followed emmc instructions well (which is to be seen cause you forgot to read the part that says "It's highly recommended NOT to flash the kernel on your device") | 17:34 |

bash` | http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Install/EMMC | 17:42 |
jonwil | btw, a useful tip if the flasher wont see the phone is to remove the battery, plug in the USB, start the flasher (which will say that it cant find a suitable device). Then you insert the battery and the flashing will start straight away | 17:45 |
jonwil | Certainly works if you are using -l to load a kernel | 17:45 |
jonwil | Assuming the maemo rootfs on the NAND is fine, you could try using that to -l the maemo kernel | 17:45 |
alterego | jonwil: I just have it off, start flasher, then plug in usb | 17:46 |
alterego | No need for battery popping | 17:46 |
jonwil | whatever works | 17:46 |
bash` | jonwil: nice, I'll try...can I reflash maemo? Or it takes too many time? | 17:47 |
ShadowJK | Seems like it for many it doesn't work unless you do the battery out thing | 17:47 |
jonwil | You could do that to -l load a maemo kernel | 17:47 |
jonwil | which takes less time than flashing | 17:47 |
jonwil | and that will boot maemo | 17:47 |
jonwil | which will then let you charge the phone | 17:47 |
*** crashanddie_ has quit IRC | 17:47 | |
jonwil | and from there you can reflash with whatever you need | 17:47 |
alterego | ShadowJK: there's no difference having battery out or having device off. | 17:47 |
*** nicofs has joined #maemo | 17:47 | |
alterego | ShadowJK: as long as you connect usb _after_ running flasher, the device turns itself on when connected to usb anyway. | 17:48 |
alterego | Flashing N900s when you've already got another connected is more fun btw | 17:48 |
nicofs | Hello! I have a problem connecting to ICQ with the default Conversations program... somehow I just can't connect... | 17:49 |
alterego | You have to supply the -u option and hold 'u' to force it into update usb mode. | 17:49 |
alterego | nicofs: can you run telnet icq hpst and icq port? | 17:50 |
alterego | Might be port blocking on your operator | 17:50 |
nicofs | alterego, i'm using wlan | 17:50 |
nicofs | otherwise i wouldn't know how to do what you just said... | 17:51 |
alterego | nicofs: interesting :) | 17:51 |
alterego | And other machines on the wlan can connect to icq presumably? | 17:51 |
* jonwil has found some fun new games for his n900 | 17:51 | |
* alterego is suprised people still use ICQ :) | 17:52 | |
jonwil | only on Maemo could someone get away with calling a game "Them Bloody Ducks" :P | 17:52 |
nicofs | alterego, without problems... i installed that additional protocol plugin... | 17:52 |
alterego | Hrm, well, I don't have ICQ so I can't really help with debugging it, maybe post a thread/seaarch the talk.maemo.org forums? | 17:53 |
nicofs | alterego, i can install pidgin and there it works - but i don't want to use pidgin... | 17:54 |
alterego | Okay, so must be an issue with the telepathy icq plugin then | 17:55 |
* jonwil wishes some of these games had more documentation | 17:55 | |
alterego | There are quite a few versions of the extra protocol plugins for "conversations" maybe try another package? (first uninstall the one you've already installed) | 17:55 |
alterego | And also make sure your details are correct | 17:56 |

*** cloudyLights has quit IRC | 19:02 | |
cehteh | the more i hear about broken usb ports the more i think about fixing (epoxy glue) mine before it breaks | 19:02 |
jonwil | and from there work out whats different between both | 19:02 |
DocScrutinizer | MohammadAG: exactly, it shouldn't be too hard to backport from meego | 19:02 |
jonwil | i.e. come up with some code that matches the Fremantle MCE | 19:03 |
cehteh | ok after warranty :) | 19:03 |
DocScrutinizer | jonwil: sounds like a plan | 19:03 |
jonwil | there are definatly differences between MCE in harmattan and MCE in fremantle | 19:03 |
DocScrutinizer | cehteh: fix (solder) it | 19:03 |
DocScrutinizer | cehteh: much better than epoxy | 19:03 |
jonwil | Not sure if I should use harmattan MCE code or meego repo MCE code | 19:03 |
cehteh | DocScrutinizer: mine isnt broken yet and i dont want to modify anything while warranty | 19:03 |
jonwil | but harmattan is easier to get binaries for | 19:03 |
cehteh | of course i would solder it first | 19:04 |
hiemanshu | what is mce? :/ | 19:04 |
jonwil | mode control entity | 19:04 |
jonwil | it does important hardware stuff on the phone | 19:04 |
jonwil | like talking to the vibrator | 19:04 |
MohammadAG | jonwil, afaik it was someone who knows both of their codes | 19:04 |
hiemanshu | ah | 19:04 |
MohammadAG | basically, get meego mce to compile, run the same libraries | 19:04 |
DocScrutinizer | mode/machine control entity | 19:04 |
cehteh | and i have to look at the pcb, would it be possible to drill small holes besides the usb port and add some support? dunno if there are wires and space around | 19:05 |
jonwil | I do know that tklock.c from meego/harmattan mce is different to that from Fremantle mce | 19:05 |
MohammadAG | that's a library, not mce itself though | 19:05 |
cehteh | but a drop expoxy under and around the port, maybe with *thin* glas or carbon reinforcement wont hurt and should fit | 19:05 |
jonwil | no, tklock.c is linked into the MCE binary | 19:06 |
jonwil | its not in one of the ,so files | 19:06 |
DocScrutinizer | cehteh: better use solder!!! | 19:06 |
cehteh | solder wont help against the pads coming off | 19:06 |
cehteh | i'd use that too .. but some other reinforcement if possible too | 19:07 |

DocScrutinizer | on epoxy / whatever | 19:08 |
hiemanshu | my usb port is bent to the left a little, I think it might break sometime soon too :( | 19:08 |
DocScrutinizer | hiemanshu: immediately do http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=547991#post547991 | 19:09 |
hiemanshu | DocScrutinizer: yes I will | 19:09 |
cehteh | DocScrutinizer: nah, thats clear, i was thinking abut drillin a smal hole left and right and then wrap a epoxy soaked kevlar, glass or carbon strand around | 19:09 |
hiemanshu | I am really bad at soldering, I'll get it done at a place closeby, for dirt cheap | 19:09 |
DocScrutinizer | cehteh: sounds ok, we don't know about traces in inner layers though -> drilling is DANGEROUS | 19:10 |
* hiemanshu loves being in India | 19:10 | |
cehteh | doesnt matter if it adheres to the pcb then .. it just clamps it dowen | 19:10 |
cehteh | DocScrutinizer: yes thats my only scare ... i hope someone could make some suggestions where the traces are | 19:10 |
DocScrutinizer | cehteh: first get proper x-ray photos of the whole thing! | 19:10 |
cehteh | but looking at the skrew hole beneath and the open space on the other side there might be no traces .. but agrees to be sure this needs some investigation | 19:11 |
cehteh | dont you want to xray your device? :) | 19:11 |

cehteh | well i 'can' do such delicate soldering .. but that doesnt mean i like it | 19:16 |
Dibblah | ... There is actually sufficient space (given some chopping) to fit a mini-USB connector in there. | 19:16 |

RST38h | Doc: yep | 19:18 |
DocScrutinizer | well, let's say 15cm | 19:19 |
DocScrutinizer | still no good for soldering such stuff - I'm getting to old for that shit (said Clint Eastwood) | 19:20 |
jonwil | If I needed my USB port fixed and my device was out of warranty or I didnt want to take it to Nokia to get it replaced with an N8, I would ask around at some mobile phone/gadget repair type shops for somewhere that can do fine soldering and ask them to fix it :) | 19:20 |
hiemanshu | jonwil: well around here if open it yourself, and ask someone to fine solder it, its about half a euro | 19:22 |
DocScrutinizer | though the USB ruggedizing as of http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=547991#post547991 looks simple enough, even for mediocre iron artists | 19:22 |

JZA | thanks thats what I needed. I guess I miss the renaming from Nokia PC Suite to Ovi Suite | 20:01 |
DocScrutinizer | hiemanshu: got NFI what windoze is using for "contacts" today | 20:02 |
JZA | so just to make sure, i want to share internet from my n900 to my laptop, will the Ovi Suite take care of that? | 20:02 |
DocScrutinizer | thought they'll never drop outlook(-express) | 20:02 |

*** divan has quit IRC | 20:02 | |
DocScrutinizer | JZA: afaik yes | 20:03 |

*** divan has joined #maemo | 20:03 | |
DocScrutinizer | to windows (and any USB host PC) the N900 should look like an arbitrary USB 3G stick aiui | 20:04 |
DocScrutinizer | but OVI suite brings some .inf files or whatever to facilitate that use case | 20:05 |

There is nothing mounted in /media/ (except mmc1), the second item for the N900 storage is wrong, says "filesystem not supported" when I touch it. It is somehow related to gnome-vfs, because when I kill it, the second entry disappears. | 20:14 |
*** kW_ has quit IRC | 20:16 | |
merlin1991 | hey did anyone notice that the root pw on the n900 is only validated on the first 8 digits? | 20:16 |

DocScrutinizer | merlin1991: that's normal for certain crypt() implementations linux is using to build the pw hashes in /etc/passwd (|shadow) | 20:23 |
merlin1991 | isn't that "unsafe" ? | 20:23 |
merlin1991 | brute forcing a pw lenght of 8 vs 14 is quite a HUGE difference afaik | 20:23 |
DocScrutinizer | not really, but you're free to use other default encryption algo | 20:24 |
DocScrutinizer | see man 3 crypt | 20:24 |
dm8tbr | also safe 8 char passwords that are really hard to brute force ar no rocket surgery | 20:26 |
*** idont has quit IRC | 20:27 | |

cehteh | top notch gpus brute forcing hashes in no time .. no rainbow tables required anymore, salting wont rescue you | 20:30 |
DocScrutinizer | merlin1991: >> In the SHA implementation the entire key is significant (instead of only the first 8 bytes in MD5). | 20:30 |
cehteh | some expensive hashing algo like beecrypt may help a bit | 20:30 |
merlin1991 | I'm just chaning from pw based ssh server to key based (if it's supported) | 20:31 |
cehteh | on the n900, yes works | 20:31 |
*** idont has quit IRC | 20:32 | |

merlin1991 | cehteh: passwd -l root | 20:34 |
cehteh | does the n900 use PAM? | 20:35 |
DocScrutinizer | merlin1991: keep an open shell login to rot, so you can revert if it fails | 20:35 |
dm8tbr | cehteh: [ ] you understood my statement | 20:35 |

cehteh | well sometimes there are easier ways .. bugs you know | 20:36 |
DocScrutinizer | meh | 20:37 |
dm8tbr | and I agree if it's the old crypt hash then it's not salted and john will crack it quickly | 20:37 |
dm8tbr | still there are significantly more secure passwords than lower case ascii 7bit | 20:37 |
*** aloisiojr has quit IRC | 20:37 | |
cehteh | not only old crypt also more decent ones | 20:37 |
cehteh | length matters .. but 8 chars are not secure anymore even with sha1/256/whatever | 20:38 |
dm8tbr | I'd like you to brute force a proper salted hash with 8 characters where you have no idea about the chars | 20:38 |
DocScrutinizer | if you can get the N900 passwd file and hashes in there, then you owned the machine already. Absolutely academic debate to wonder how hard it may be to brute-force from hash to passwd | 20:38 |
dm8tbr | exactly my point, thanks DocScrutinizer | 20:38 |
cehteh | if gpus are fast enough to go over tens of millions hashes per second then even salting doesnt help .. thats brute force, not rainbow tables | 20:38 |
merlin1991 | cehteh: what did you do to enable public key logon to the n900? | 20:39 |
merlin1991 | anything special? | 20:39 |
cehteh | salting only protects against rainbow tables and other plaintext attacs | 20:39 |
dm8tbr | cehteh: that's because someone will store government secrets on their n900, only protected by the root password.... rrrright | 20:39 |

cehteh | microb has some nokia plugins for example .. did you audited them? | 20:42 |
DocScrutinizer | merlin1991: make sure your permissions on $HOME and $HOME/.ssh and $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys are correct. Otherwise sshd will refuse to sign-in | 20:43 |
dm8tbr | cehteh: if you want to play academic nonsense. please point me to a publication showing salted md5 or sha* being unsafe for random 8 chars by being brute forceable in <1 year. | 20:43 |
cehteh | they starting HAM for example which runs as root .. so if there is a bug/exploit, there is at least some root priv to read passwd there | 20:43 |
merlin1991 | how should they be? | 20:43 |
DocScrutinizer | cehteh: the chance to get root access via a "bug" is way higher than the chance to get the passwd file to decrypt the hashes | 20:44 |
cehteh | dm8tbr: on our last lug meeting we talked about that .. google for "password cracking gpu" ... | 20:44 |
merlin1991 | cehteh: mind if I query you about the setup? | 20:44 |

hiemanshu | so yes its monday here | 22:44 |
GAN900 | This is silly. I should've had an N950 in my hands last Winter. | 22:45 |
alterego | hiemanshu: sure but you're way ahead of Finland | 22:45 |
alterego | GAN900: pfft, me too! :P | 22:45 |
GAN900 | alterego, yes, finish time indeed. | 22:45 |
alterego | I should have an N9 now too! | 22:45 |
*** crashanddie_ has quit IRC | 22:45 | |
GAN900 | The finish line is close. | 22:45 |
hiemanshu | I should have enough to build a server farm by now :P | 22:46 |
dm8tbr | the finnish line? ;) | 22:46 |
hiemanshu | an obs build service filled with n950s and n9s | 22:46 |

dm8tbr | don't know about the n900 but the http://www.archos.com/products/ta/archos_5it/specs.html?country=us&lang=en says it could, but I think they clock the 3630 a bit higher | 22:58 |
alterego | hiemanshu: try playing it. | 22:58 |
alterego | Otherwise rescale it | 22:58 |
hiemanshu | alterego: media player says 'unsupported format' and kmplayer is stuck at buffering | 22:58 |

hiemanshu | rcg: yes, works fine | 22:59 |
rcg | cool.. did you do it just by using the provided install script? | 22:59 |

*** sq-one has joined #maemo | 23:16 | |
alterego | jacekowski: primary phone? :/ | 23:16 |
jacekowski | alterego: yes | 23:16 |
jacekowski | alterego: i have N95 as well so i'll use that for now | 23:16 |
alterego | Do you have an N810 | 23:16 |
jacekowski | no | 23:16 |
alterego | ? | 23:16 |
alterego | Eek | 23:17 |
alterego | You can charge the N900 battery in other handsets if the battery bay is larger than the battery | 23:17 |
jacekowski | not really a solution | 23:17 |
jacekowski | i'm wondering if it'll be easier to get nokia to fix it | 23:18 |
jacekowski | or just claim on insuranc | 23:18 |
jacekowski | insurance* | 23:18 |
alterego | And if it has the right connectors, like N810 | 23:18 |
alterego | You'll probably get an N8 though .. | 23:18 |
jacekowski | alterego: why? | 23:18 |
alterego | jacekowski: Jaffa got an N8 "upgrade" when they decided not to fix it last week. | 23:18 |
alterego | I think they may not stock replacements anymore. | 23:19 |
alterego | I think I might reinforce my two N900s | 23:19 |
jacekowski | so insurance then | 23:19 |
jacekowski | i'll tell them that i've lost it | 23:19 |
alterego | And you think your insurance company are more likely to be able to get you a replacement? | 23:20 |
jacekowski | well, they have to | 23:20 |
alterego | They have the same conditions as Nokia "equivalent functionality" | 23:20 |
alterego | They'll probably more likely than Nokia give you an N8, tbh. | 23:21 |
*** kama has joined #maemo | 23:21 | |
*** BluesLee has joined #maemo | 23:23 | |
cehteh | if you argue that you are a maemo developer and need the n900 then a n8 is not equivalent | 23:24 |
cehteh | no matter what nokia claims | 23:24 |
cehteh | if they dont have replacement, then money back | 23:24 |
* cehteh wonders if one can get a N9 or N950 as replacement :P | 23:25 | |
cehteh | well its just announced .. when it gets released, considering nokias awesome development speed, then no n900 with any warranty are out in the wild anymore .. | 23:26 |

Jaffa | jacekowski: The insurance companies usually give you cash, so you could look on eBay. Premiums usually go up for claiming, so a new in box N8 could get you more cash. | 23:33 |
Jaffa | Though they seem to be going quite cheaply on eBay :-( | 23:33 |

javispedro | I'm pondering that you could probably sue Nokia for that. | 23:40 |
javispedro | but. I bet a majority of the populace just keeps quiet when this happens as they assume n8 > n900, so they do no thing. a quick word with nokia care to tell them you think otherwise might get you something.. | 23:41 |

javispedro | it all depends on wheter you think the "replacement" product meets expectations. | 23:44 |
DocScrutinizer | alterego: jacekowski: time for ruggedizing the USB here :-S | 23:44 |
*** shamus has quit IRC | 23:44 | |
javispedro | at least, I'm reading local law and seems that you can force manufacturer to _repair_ your old device if replacement doesn't "work as per specifications of the original product". | 23:44 |
*** Atarii has quit IRC | 23:44 | |
ieatlint | javispedro: actually, i think you'll find the warranty says it depends on whether nokia thinks that | 23:44 |

*** mortenvp has quit IRC | 23:46 | |
*** mortenvp has joined #maemo | 23:46 | |
DocScrutinizer | any way money back isn't an option, as manufacturer/reseller may pay the "current value" only, means you get ~5% off per month you used the product | 23:46 |
javispedro | yes, that's also stated here. | 23:46 |
Jaffa | javispedro: I've sent an email to the address on the letterhead of the note explaining they "hope I enjoy my upgrade" | 23:47 |
DocScrutinizer | your best bet is to get an *expensive* "replacement" and sell on ebay to trade in for a "new" N900 | 23:48 |
ieatlint | the n8 does make a nice camera anyway, hehe | 23:48 |
javispedro | Jaffa: I think that's the best course of action as, being optimist, I believe they think they're doing you a favor (giving you a "better" device vs making you wait and getting a repaired/refurbished n900) | 23:48 |
Jaffa | javispedro: Aye | 23:48 |
DocScrutinizer | indeed | 23:49 |
Jaffa | Anyway, bed time | 23:49 |
