sevard | valdyn_ cehteh I'm looking for a phone with a _real_ gps chip. Apparently a-gps will only work with a mobile data connection and the phone I'm looking for needs to 1) have a real gps chip 2) cheap 3) run endomondo 4) have no mobile subscription | 00:26 |
cehteh | sevard: any agps can work in gps only mode, but some do that rather poorly | 00:27 |
cehteh | what kind of application, why dont you use an external usb or bluetooth gps dongle, these are cheap | 00:27 |
jacekowski | sevard: no | 00:27 |
sevard | it looks like the sirf III chips do it very well | 00:27 |
jacekowski | sevard: it will work without mobile data | 00:28 |
jacekowski | sevard: these are same chips | 00:28 |
sevard | cehteh: I'm looking for a means to track several runners via gps | 00:28 |
cehteh | sirf iii wont be in cell phone | 00:28 |
jacekowski | sevard: + they have agps capability | 00:28 |
sevard | jacekowski: but from what I read a-gps only works with a mobile subscriptoin | 00:28 |
jacekowski | sevard: yes | 00:28 |
*** sid__ has quit IRC | 00:28 | |
jacekowski | sevard: but these chips are fully functional standalone gps chips | 00:28 |
jacekowski | sevard: that can work in assisted mode | 00:28 |
cehteh | agps is only software .. but you can make the receivers used for agps cheaper, substitute that by software | 00:28 |
sevard | My ultimate goal was to find a phone that works very well without a mobile subscription and give it to several runners to help us track our runs | 00:29 |
javispedro | buy a handheld gps | 00:29 |
cehteh | sirf 3 is good but not cheap and iirc no cell phone uses that | 00:29 |
jacekowski | sevard: only thing is that with phones you have smaller antennas | 00:29 |
tank-man | are you runners going to be making phone calls? | 00:29 |
tank-man | youre | 00:29 |
sevard | tank-man: no | 00:29 |
jacekowski | sevard: and signal that gets to the gps chip is much weaker | 00:29 |
sevard | http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=GB5mpZJt | 00:29 |
cehteh | often gps is integrated in the broadband chipset | 00:29 |
jacekowski | sevard: so it's harder for that chip to get a lock | 00:29 |
sevard | these are all of the phones that support endomondo, but if i could find a phone that already tracks gps coordinates with time stamps and outputs in gpx that would suffice | 00:30 |
jacekowski | sevard: because without assist it means it has to recieve clear signal for few minutes | 00:30 |
DocScrutinizer | yay | 00:30 |
sevard | jacekowski: i understand that | 00:30 |
cehteh | sevard: whats that list? | 00:30 |
cehteh | ah | 00:30 |
DocScrutinizer | ~gsm-agps | 00:30 |
infobot | i heard rrlp is the Radio Resource LCS (Location Service) Protocol as specified first in GSM TS 04.31, or http://security.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/RRLP | 00:30 |
sevard | I've been looking through all the nokias on tha tlist and they seem, so far, to only support agps | 00:30 |
jacekowski | sevard: if you get any phone, remove sim from it and disable gsm | 00:30 |
tank-man | sevard, http://www.qstarz.com/Products/GPS%20Products/BT-Q1000.html | 00:31 |
jacekowski | sevard: it's only addon | 00:31 |
cehteh | what is endomondo? | 00:31 |
jacekowski | sevard: it's fully standalone gps | 00:31 |
jacekowski | sevard: with assist capabilities | 00:31 |
*** rd has quit IRC | 00:31 | |
cehteh | can you run the software somewhere else? | 00:31 |
sevard | cehteh: endomondo is a gps tracking applicatoin | 00:31 |
DocScrutinizer | sevard: a gps in GSM will *allways* be agps | 00:31 |
cehteh | hey there are thousands track logging apps | 00:31 |
DocScrutinizer | see ~gsm-agps | 00:31 |
cehteh | why do you need that? | 00:31 |
jacekowski | sevard: you get any of these and leave it with clear sky and with disabled gsm | 00:31 |
jacekowski | sevard: and it will get lock after 10-20 minutes | 00:31 |
DocScrutinizer | and *every* agps also works without "a" | 00:32 |
cehteh | there are usb gps dongles you can just drop in your backpack logging stuff and later you analyze the data | 00:32 |
cehteh | why do you need this special app? | 00:32 |
sevard | jacekowski: 10-20 minutes is unreasonable for my applicaton... the garmin in my car doesn't have a-gps and gets a signal lock in under 60 seconds | 00:32 |
cehteh | not when cold booting | 00:32 |
jacekowski | sevard: because it remembers positions | 00:32 |
cehteh | but yes devices with agps often dont put much effort into unassissted locks | 00:33 |
sevard | cehteh: I don't, if I found another platform that has a fast gps chip and software that outputs into GPX format that I could get over usb or bluetooth that would suffice. | 00:33 |
DocScrutinizer | sevard: please don't first do the conclusions and then ask for transforming them to a real thing. This never works, esp when you got no clear idea about the topic | 00:33 |
jacekowski | sevard: and these devices have much better antennas than you can ever put in phone | 00:33 |
DocScrutinizer | sevard: explain your needs and ask for solutions! | 00:33 |
jacekowski | sevard: and the way it works is almost like assisted gps | 00:33 |
tank-man | sevard, i just pasted a link to such a device | 00:34 |
sevard | DocScrutinizer: ... thanks for the advice. | 00:34 |
cehteh | any gps is slow at cold boot, thats a design constraint | 00:34 |
sevard | tank-man: I'm readin gup on it | 00:34 |
jacekowski | sevard: but instead of using frech data from internet, it's using data that it recieved recently | 00:34 |
jacekowski | sevard: if you switch it off and move it 200 miles away, it will take probably around 10 minutes to lock | 00:34 |
tank-man | the one i linked to has the following stats: Cold start 36s, Warm start 33s,Hot start 1s | 00:34 |
cehteh | no, not even the most expensive gps can do a fast unassisted cold startup | 00:34 |
cehteh | tank-man: 36sec is iirc impossible | 00:35 |
sevard | tank-man: The price point point is about 3x too much for me :( | 00:35 |
tank-man | no it is not | 00:35 |
jacekowski | tank-man: it is impossible | 00:35 |
jacekowski | tank-man: cold start means that almanac is unknown | 00:35 |
tank-man | how is it 3x more expensive than a smart phone? | 00:35 |
cehteh | the sideband which is used to transmit the data is slower | 00:36 |
jacekowski | tank-man: and it takes 10minutes+ to transmit alamac | 00:36 |
jacekowski | almanac* | 00:36 |
*** piggz has quit IRC | 00:36 | |
tank-man | jacekowski, i used this device with my nokia n800 | 00:36 |
cehteh | under perfect conditions | 00:36 |
cehteh | tank-man: then it wasnt cold | 00:36 |
jacekowski | tank-man: then it already knew alamanac | 00:36 |
cehteh | it had some almanac stored and interpolated that | 00:36 |
jacekowski | tank-man: lot of devices have preprogrammed alamac in them | 00:36 |
tank-man | and it also can be used as a standalone device that logs info | 00:36 |
jacekowski | tank-man: because it doesn't change | 00:37 |
tank-man | i only quoted the info from the sites web page and its about the same as my experience with the device | 00:37 |
jacekowski | well it changes but once you recieve it it's good for half a year | 00:37 |
jacekowski | tank-man: that's marketing bs | 00:37 |
sevard | hm | 00:37 |
jacekowski | tank-man: you can't lock in less than 1s | 00:38 |
jacekowski | tank-man: because you can't sync clock that fast | 00:38 |
javispedro | a hot start in 1s is possible | 00:39 |
tank-man | i dont know what 'hot start' is , but in my experience with the device, once i turn it on, in about 30 sec it has my gps position | 00:39 |
cehteh | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Positioning_System#Message_format | 00:39 |
sevard | MTK GPS Module | 00:39 |
javispedro | but it's evil from the manufacturer to quote that as their hot start time. | 00:39 |
javispedro | because you won't see it much in RL. | 00:39 |
cehteh | sevard: there are gps track-logger dongles for as cheap as 20-30 eur | 00:39 |
cehteh | usb, small battery which last about a day and enough memory to track that day | 00:40 |
sevard | cehteh: I haven't found a cheap one, i've been looking, 30 eur is like 70 usd, i was hoping for something aroun 30usd so i could buy 5 or 6 of them and gift them. that's why i was looking at old phones | 00:41 |
jacekowski | sevard: then you can use phones | 00:41 |
cehteh | huh is the $ dropped that much? | 00:41 |
jacekowski | sevard: but it will take ages to lock | 00:41 |
javispedro | but don't complain when they take 30 minutes to get a lock :) | 00:41 |
sevard | jacekowski: that's why i was looking for something that didn't rely on a-gps | 00:41 |
cehteh | i caclulate usually 1Eur == 1Dollar when electronic gadgets are involved :P | 00:41 |
jacekowski | sevard: it's not relying on agps | 00:41 |
sevard | and that's why i came here | 00:41 |
jacekowski | sevard: agps is just an ADDON | 00:42 |
jacekowski | sevard: it's fully standalone device | 00:42 |
sevard | jacekowski: these nokia devices say they ONLY work with a-gps and not "integrated gps" | 00:42 |
jacekowski | sevard: even your garmin can do agps | 00:42 |
jacekowski | sevard: where does it say so | 00:42 |
sevard | all of these documents say a-gps requires a cellular data connection | 00:42 |
jacekowski | sevard: yes | 00:42 |
jacekowski | sevard: AGPS | 00:42 |
javispedro | "AGPS requires a cellullar data connection" is a true statement. | 00:42 |
sevard | but my garmin doesn't have a cellular subscription | 00:43 |
jacekowski | sevard: but it can do normal gps | 00:43 |
jacekowski | sevard: but it can do agps | 00:43 |
javispedro | oh. | 00:43 |
jacekowski | sevard: you connect phone to it over bt | 00:43 |
javispedro | "AGPS requires a data connection" :) | 00:43 |
jacekowski | sevard: and it will do agps | 00:43 |
cehteh | http://www.google.com/search?q=gps+dongle | 00:43 |
jacekowski | sevard: or you can do almost like agps by connecting it to computer and you can get agps data over the interwebs to the device | 00:43 |
jacekowski | it's called QuickFix in tomtom | 00:44 |
Sicelo | GNSS is standalone gps :) | 00:44 |
jacekowski | and it's downloading week worth of agps data using computer to store it on device | 00:44 |
tank-man | android tablets can do that too (get quicker fix over internet) | 00:44 |
jacekowski | tank-man: everything can do that | 00:44 |
jacekowski | tank-man: but sevard thinks that if device can do that then it can't do normal fixes | 00:45 |
jacekowski | sevard: agps means that instead of pulling alamanac and ephemeris data from satelite it can get it from internet | 00:46 |
jacekowski | sevard: but it can still get it from satelite | 00:47 |
tank-man | cheaper to have checkpoints for those runners and log that info manually :) haha | 00:47 |

*** c2pLaY has joined #maemo | 00:47 | |
jacekowski | sevard: but because agps is mostly used in devices like mobile phones, which because of space limitations don't have very good antennas, and therefore it's harder for them to recieve clear signal for 20 minutes required to get all data from cold start | 00:48 |
*** kthomas_vh has quit IRC | 00:48 | |
jacekowski | sevard: well, even minute of clear signal required for cold start is a problem very often in devices like that | 00:48 |
cehteh | .. and on the other side, many agps enabled devices fail to store and interpolate the data for later reuse :/ | 00:49 |
jacekowski | cehteh: i don't think any device stores more than alamac data | 00:49 |
jacekowski | not even normal gps recievers | 00:49 |
SpeedEvil | DocScrutinizer: ot yet, though I think I understan how I'm going to do it | 00:50 |
cehteh | well the point is for how long you consider them valid and maybe interpolate them some later time | 00:50 |
jacekowski | well, ephemeris is only valid for hour | 00:50 |
jacekowski | so it's useless | 00:50 |
jacekowski | only data that can be reused is almanac data | 00:51 |
cehteh | integrate/callibrate with signals you already receive .. if for example you have only 1 lock you can used that to syncronize time and interpolate almanac | 00:51 |
cehteh | ephemeris is valid for 2-4 hours .. but better have some invalid ephemeris than none at all | 00:51 |
jacekowski | you can't interpolate almanac | 00:51 |
jacekowski | satellites are fully independen | 00:52 |
SpeedEvil | All sats broadcast the almanac. | 00:52 |
jacekowski | and invalid ephemeris is as good as none | 00:52 |
SpeedEvil | As I understood it. | 00:52 |
jacekowski | SpeedEvil: yes | 00:52 |
jacekowski | SpeedEvil: it still takes 10+ minutes to recieve it | 00:53 |
SpeedEvil | I never worked out if they all broadcast it in synchrony, or not. | 00:53 |
jacekowski | and if there is any error in transmission | 00:53 |
jacekowski | like tunnel | 00:53 |
jacekowski | or a tree | 00:53 |
jacekowski | or it was covered for a second | 00:53 |
*** robbiethe1st has joined #maemo | 00:53 | |
SpeedEvil | If they don't, you can put it togetehr from multiple sources | 00:53 |
jacekowski | whole of the almanac is useless | 00:53 |
cehteh | its all about software stitching this together .. | 00:54 |
jacekowski | SpeedEvil: well, i don't think gps recievers recieve on all frequencies at the same time | 00:54 |
SpeedEvil | jacekowski: yes they do. | 00:54 |
SpeedEvil | Modern ones at least. | 00:54 |
cehteh | thats my point in agps phones the usually dont put that much efforts into this software | 00:54 |
SpeedEvil | Where modern is >1995 | 00:54 |
jacekowski | cehteh: and you would have to know which parts are you recieving | 00:54 |
DocScrutinizer | they don't send sync | 00:54 |
SpeedEvil | cehteh: you do. | 00:54 |
jacekowski | SpeedEvil: are you sure theey don't just do frequency hoping? | 00:54 |
SpeedEvil | jacekowski: very | 00:55 |
cehteh | nope | 00:55 |
DocScrutinizer | and each sat sends his own current data about own pos in as little as 15s | 00:55 |
*** c2p has quit IRC | 00:55 | |
SpeedEvil | I've actually got part way through a GPS reciever design. | 00:55 |
cehteh | well i am off | 00:55 |
SpeedEvil | The current time is sent by each sat every 6s. | 00:55 |
SpeedEvil | You can actually generate a position off this. | 00:55 |
jacekowski | yeah, so 6s is minumum time to get lock | 00:55 |
ShadowJK | I thought GPS satellites all transmitted on a single frequency (well, one single frequency that civilians can use) | 00:55 |
SpeedEvil | It's less than 6s if you employ hax. | 00:56 |
SpeedEvil | ShadowJK: they sort-of-do, but not. | 00:56 |
jacekowski | like having local atomic clock | 00:56 |
DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: even that's not correct (whole alm useless), you can fill in missing chunks from next pass | 00:56 |
SpeedEvil | They use maths trickery so that tehy all appear to be transmitting independantly. | 00:56 |
jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: yeah, but for calculations it's useless | 00:56 |
SpeedEvil | When you are looking for one satellite, the others appear as noise. | 00:56 |
jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: therefore you have to wait for other almanac to be transmitted | 00:57 |
SpeedEvil | http://www.colorado.edu/geography/gcraft/notes/gps/gps_f.html | 00:57 |
SpeedEvil | best introductory text I've found. | 00:57 |
DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: it's like cdma | 00:57 |
jacekowski | gps in principle isn't very complicated | 00:57 |
SpeedEvil | It's exactly CDMA | 00:57 |
DocScrutinizer | wcdma | 00:57 |
jacekowski | you have satellites that send their time | 00:57 |
jacekowski | you measure difference between these times and calculate distances based on that | 00:58 |
jacekowski | but because satellites have to move | 00:59 |
jacekowski | that makes whole thing move | 00:59 |
jacekowski | so you have to calculate distance to satellite, and position of that satellite | 00:59 |
ShadowJK | and also earth moves, and also earth's gravity curves space? | 00:59 |
DocScrutinizer | yes, so what? | 01:00 |
jacekowski | well, i think more error is caused by instabilities in cheap gps chips clock | 01:00 |
jacekowski | than by earth's gravity | 01:00 |
javispedro | hah. | 01:00 |
DocScrutinizer | that's why you need alm and ephem for exact fix | 01:00 |
* ShadowJK thought atmosphere was a big factor | 01:00 | |
DocScrutinizer | exactly | 01:01 |
SpeedEvil | jacekowski: Error in the clock is not significant, though that is why you need 3 sats for a 2d position. | 01:01 |
DocScrutinizer | exactly | 01:01 |
SpeedEvil | Ionosphere causes several-may meter errros | 01:01 |
SpeedEvil | many | 01:01 |
DocScrutinizer | that's also what dgps is all about | 01:02 |
jacekowski | star navigation ftw | 01:02 |
DocScrutinizer | while often people think agps would cope with these things | 01:02 |
SpeedEvil | I'm pondering that for n950/n9 | 01:02 |
SpeedEvil | (star navigation) | 01:02 |
DocScrutinizer | for sun and mon it may work | 01:03 |
DocScrutinizer | moon | 01:03 |
SpeedEvil | You can add to the position knowledge a bit by using the always open main camera to snap the sun/moon/planet positions. | 01:03 |
jacekowski | i can give you accurateish position using sextant faster than gps starting from cold | 01:03 |
DocScrutinizer | doubt it will catch planets | 01:03 |
SpeedEvil | DocScrutinizer: Planets are as bright as the moon - if you can focus them. They're just smaller. | 01:03 |
jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: stacking | 01:03 |
SpeedEvil | Stars are - generally harder. | 01:03 |
DocScrutinizer | hmm ok | 01:03 |
jacekowski | SpeedEvil: it's about distance as well | 01:04 |
jacekowski | but stacking could possibly work | 01:04 |
SpeedEvil | jacekowski: If you can resolve the disk, then they are as bright. | 01:04 |
SpeedEvil | Resolving the disk is impossible for some. | 01:04 |
javispedro | so you turn on a bright light and suddently the error is increased to kilometers? :) | 01:04 |

jonne | i think everything's set correctly, and i've modified the script so it touches a file so i know when it was last run | 01:49 |
* DocScrutinizer likes the cmdline feature ;-D (and the fact it got implemented the way he suggested) | 01:49 | |
jonne | yeah, but why install an extra app if the standard unix stuff can do it? | 01:50 |
DocScrutinizer | because cron just doesn't really work | 01:50 |
jonne | btw, can you send notifications from script? | 01:50 |
jonne | wait, it doesn't? | 01:51 |
DocScrutinizer | cron isn't built for a system that has zeroclock | 01:51 |
DocScrutinizer | while alarmed even powers up your device when an alarm expires | 01:51 |
jonne | i don't need this | 01:52 |

DocScrutinizer | there's another pkg called fcron iirc, but also iirc it has quite a number of issues. I honestly recommend using alarmed for all purposes where you usually would think about editing crontab files | 02:01 |
jonne | ok, i've set it up | 02:02 |
DocScrutinizer | you should like it | 02:02 |
DocScrutinizer | if you don't, please tell Shapeshifter and me why :-) | 02:02 |
jonne | umm, how does one remove an event? | 02:03 |
jonne | i edited an event, and now i have 2 identical ones at different times | 02:05 |
jonne | and now it won't let me delete the old one | 02:05 |
DocScrutinizer | err, I think there's a delete button in gui, and a --help option on shell cmdline. Only think I think is missing is a symlink: | 02:06 |
DocScrutinizer | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2011-06-20 15:53 /usr/bin/alarmed -> /opt/alarmed/alarmed.py | 02:06 |
jonne | wait, they got deleted, the gui just didn't update | 02:06 |
DocScrutinizer | hmm, that's clearly a bug then. Pester shapeshifter about it please | 02:06 |

DocScrutinizer | try pinging him here, I dunno if he will prefer bug reports ;-) | 02:17 |
DocScrutinizer | err, bugtracker tickets | 02:18 |
DocScrutinizer | possibly not the best time to catch him right now | 02:18 |

jonne | should be straightforward to reproduce | 02:26 |
DocScrutinizer | mention the version (aka the origin repo and time of install), as it seems he needs that. I think I mentioned that bug to him like 18 months ago, but I wasn't able to provide that info | 02:27 |

DocScrutinizer | for the uebercool -z option >> -z 'DATE', --date='DATE' Set the date using coreutils date syntax, for example 'now +5 minutes' | 02:33 |

javispedro | there's a guy in the n950 waiting list who has done a 8086->arm static recompiler that is enough to run at least one game | 03:06 |
DocScrutinizer | came to offer some smalltalk before I die from boredom? | 03:06 |
javispedro | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7UidW2tMtQ | 03:06 |
javispedro | DocScrutinizer: yes | 03:06 |
DocScrutinizer | incredible | 03:07 |
DocScrutinizer | recompiler as in take x86 binary, cook in sulfuric acid with garlic, get working arm binary that may run on maemo?? | 03:08 |
javispedro | that's my understanding of it. | 03:08 |
DocScrutinizer | dang | 03:08 |
javispedro | the rather large con is that it'll probably have very limited compatibility | 03:09 |
javispedro | but I always wondered why nobody tried it. | 03:09 |
*** b-man` has quit IRC | 03:10 | |

javispedro | ? | 03:13 |
DocScrutinizer | yeah, same here | 03:14 |
javispedro | there's a guy around who runs qemu-user x86 in the n900 | 03:14 |
javispedro | and n950 | 03:14 |
javispedro | but that is plain emulation | 03:14 |
DocScrutinizer | yeah, might been it | 03:14 |
javispedro | static recompilation is where the money is today =) | 03:14 |
javispedro | (obviously not :) ) | 03:14 |
javispedro | but I'd like to try, I was trying to google if he published this stuff somewhere. | 03:15 |
DocScrutinizer | javispedro: seen my comment about that FMRX mode register? I think it might need some initialization | 03:17 |

*** Gizmokid2005 has quit IRC | 03:23 | |
DocScrutinizer | I'd actually expect SoC wants to be master | 03:24 |
DocScrutinizer | which also would explain the stalled data transmission aka missing clock pretty much | 03:24 |
javispedro | sadly, seemingly no wait to change that from userspace | 03:25 |
javispedro | *way | 03:25 |
javispedro | oh man, the founder of gentoo "just got a touchpad" =) | 03:26 |
DocScrutinizer | err, no way to change? how that? I thought there was some cmd in v4l2* to change that? | 03:28 |
javispedro | you can change some parts of the bitfield | 03:28 |
javispedro | rate, width | 03:29 |
DocScrutinizer | javispedro: at very least you could check what mode the SoC (twl5031?) ISS is in, as I gather it's the same IF that's used for e.g BT headsets | 03:29 |
*** Gizmokid2005 has joined #maemo | 03:32 | |
DocScrutinizer | which btw is a debatable design, regarding ALSA. I'd feel better with dedicated mutually exclusive audiocards for BT A2DP, BT SCO, FMRX... | 03:32 |
javispedro | such is life... | 03:32 |
javispedro | no idea how to check that so far.. :P | 03:32 |
DocScrutinizer | and each of those "audio cards" initializes the mode register and other stuff accordingly on pcm_open() | 03:33 |
*** deimos has quit IRC | 03:33 | |
javispedro | yeah, sounds more reasonable | 03:34 |
DocScrutinizer | how to check: well, probably find what's the audio card used for BT, then see what the source does. EEEW that's prolly PA again, not BT | 03:34 |
DocScrutinizer | s/BT/ALSA/ | 03:34 |

DocScrutinizer | yeah, then set it to analog default and do not mention if it's conected at all via analog, and if so then to which analog input of mixer | 05:58 |
javispedro | I am now realizing that this log-status operation is destructive | 05:59 |
javispedro | because it reads the int_mask | 05:59 |
javispedro | and it causes something to happen to the device | 06:00 |

javispedro | the only thing I've discovered is that if you keep /dev/radio0 open then arecord takes a little more time to timeout | 06:05 |
javispedro | as in, 4 or 5 seconds. | 06:05 |
DocScrutinizer | yup | 06:05 |
javispedro | maybe I should try and see how BT audio works | 06:06 |
DocScrutinizer | good plan | 06:06 |
javispedro | but I think they'll do bluez instead of using this crap. | 06:07 |
javispedro | battery life when using a BT headset was probably not a goal :) | 06:07 |
*** doc|home has quit IRC | 06:07 | |

javispedro | (evidently while waiting for space in buffer) | 06:23 |
javispedro | aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh | 06:24 |
javispedro | even in Bt mode the _same_ _thing_ _happens_ | 06:24 |

javispedro | er.. | 06:30 |
javispedro | "Codec Mode" | 06:30 |

jiero | psycho_oreos: yeah, its not eye-catching then. | 07:56 |
jiero | psycho_oreos: what font you use? | 08:01 |
psycho_oreos | jiero, a mixture of standard/extra fonts (nothing special really, I only care about legible factors rather than having fancy ones). For instance, on X-Terminal I use Droid fonts, but otherwise I use standard Nokia Sans/Nokia Pure fonts | 08:02 |
*** licensed has quit IRC | 08:03 | |
jiero | psycho_oreos: ty. have you seen a problem that apt always try to uninstall Droids Font? Due to this problem, I was frustrated and getting other fonts from my laptop... | 08:07 |
psycho_oreos | jiero, never seen an issue with apt always wanting to try and and uninstall droid font. I have had at one stage apt incorrectly asking to install a whole bunch of other packages (was related to i10n to be frank) and I think that was fixed up. Probably because the maintainer was modifying the Depends field for that metapackage. | 08:09 |
jiero | ok, hopefully its only on me... | 08:11 |
psycho_oreos | I'm guessing it might be the repositories of which you enable/use which may cause apt to do that. There might be a fix for it but don't quote me on it. I have to deal with issues on HAM showing up old packages needing to upgrade, which they have already been upgraded. | 08:14 |

psycho_oreos | jiero, when you mean apt always trying to uninstall droid font you mean that whenever you execute apt-get download <package> for instance it shows up ttf-droid is no longer required and can be removed via autoremove command? | 08:24 |
jiero | psycho_oreos: yes | 08:25 |
jiero | and even i install it. | 08:25 |
*** larsivi has quit IRC | 08:26 | |
psycho_oreos | I'm rethinking about it now. I know that appears when a package you have installed previously did depend on that package so if it was installed manually (as in ttf-droid) it may not show that issue. | 08:26 |

*** [1]casketizer has quit IRC | 08:41 | |
psycho_oreos | jiero, there has to be a way to make it work :p I installed ttf-droid on its own and never had that autoremove option for ttf-droid. I'm presuming the same could be said and done in your case. Though if apt-get doesn't work, I'd just go through the dpkg route | 08:41 |
jiero | yeah, just mv ~ | 08:43 |
psycho_oreos | lol well mv is technically the last sort of resort that I would use if apt-get still moans about ttf-droid as a dependency package | 08:44 |
psycho_oreos | the only issue with that is you'll have to rm it should you no longer require the font in the near future | 08:45 |
jiero | psycho_oreos: I then won't bother package management... | 08:45 |
jiero | psycho_oreos: I just need to reformat all repartation all... 2GB is very strict too me... | 08:45 |
jiero | I need at least 7 GB i suppose. | 08:46 |
psycho_oreos | jiero, not that package management is either good or bad but to have a somewhat sense of centralising all the individual bits and pieces of the files that resides on the fs you may as well somehow negotiate with the package management. Though I guess you've already tried doing it :) | 08:47 |
*** githogori has quit IRC | 08:47 | |
psycho_oreos | 7GB is enough? you're planning to install every package from the extras-devel repository? :D | 08:47 |
jiero | well. font is more like document... | 08:47 |
jiero | psycho_oreos: 7GB because everything in ~/ need it except ~/MyDocs and I heard a best Linux partition must remain 1/4 space unused. | 08:49 |
psycho_oreos | font on the filesystem is still known as a file :) the operating system doesn't really differentiate between a document and a regular file. They only care for few specific things namely: fifo, block devices, character devices, regular files, etc | 08:49 |
jiero | psycho_oreos: here is the differences, font should go ~/MyDocs rather than go system folder... unless its not safe. | 08:50 |
jiero | to use that, I need root..... root somehow need password, omg, i completely failed to learn linux. | 08:51 |
psycho_oreos | jiero, I think you're technically misunderstanding things :) /home/user is whatever you store for your own need (and you want it to reside in ext3 rather than fat) apart from that /home/user is also used by programs which store intermediate files (such as personal preferences, score tables, etc). However /home/user shares the same partition as /opt which is regularly used by programs that would otherwise hog the rootfs | 08:51 |
psycho_oreos | or rather you could relocate the font directory to /opt and probably symlink it. Not that I would have tried that method but that might be an alternative | 08:52 |
jiero | psycho_oreos: I think font is my own need rather than system need... | 08:53 |
Termana | good morning | 08:54 |
psycho_oreos | jiero, well the system would need it if you set any programs to depend on it | 08:54 |

robbiethe1st | So... I just got my first N900 replacement OEM/knockoff case. | 11:19 |
psycho_oreos | impressions? ;) | 11:19 |
robbiethe1st | It's actually quite interesting: They evidently bought/copied the original moulds: The pieces are *exact*, down to the ID numbers built into it. | 11:19 |
*** jrocha has joined #maemo | 11:20 | |
robbiethe1st | However, that's *all* they got: Anything with stamped letters(like the keyboard) evidently had new stamps made, which... aren't quite as good. | 11:20 |
robbiethe1st | The letters are thicker, and someone made a mistake: instead of a blue $, there's a blue S | 11:20 |
*** Venemo has joined #maemo | 11:20 | |
robbiethe1st | Also, the two magnets in the back piece are missing, along with the black/white squares on the camera slider. | 11:21 |
robbiethe1st | The slider itself, however, is perfectly made. everything looks great, feels great. | 11:22 |
psycho_oreos | I compared the blue $ on both keyboards (one being original keypad to my newer N900, the other, a replacement keypad I bought in China for my older N900). They look exactly the same except the material used on both were different. The newer N900 is more of a matte type keypad as opposed to the glossy look/feel of the Chinese clone | 11:22 |
*** tackat has quit IRC | 11:23 | |
psycho_oreos | yeah the insides of the backplates for the clone looked really funny. I saw a photo of that the other day with a manufacturer selling a clone N900 (which of course wasn't running maemo at all) | 11:23 |

robbiethe1st | The material on the new one is slightly more "grainy"/matte, versus the original one which reflected more | 11:26 |

Probably because on the same link that I used to replace on yours in which you later overwrote with a proper link. | 16:14 |
psycho_oreos | yeah | 16:15 |
psycho_oreos | see if I changed from your old site to google.com for instance on that wikipage for the link to your high res photos but at the very same time you have an older revision of the wiki that still points to your old site. If you tried to change that old link to the current link whilst I've already saved that wiki page for your link as google.com it would have shown you a warning I bet ;) | 16:16 |

ErwinJunge | psycho_oreos: What are you trying to do that you need all this hw info? (I don't have info, just wondering) | 16:38 |
psycho_oreos | ErwinJunge, been pondering the idea of modding my N900, going to try to push it to its limits (no not overclocking). Though as of this point, I'm only curiously pondering and keeping it in my mind until I have some sort of financial backing to do some real modding :) | 16:39 |
ErwinJunge | Also, anyone on who has any experience using SDL_gles? I'm trying to port the darkplaces engine to N900, and it kind of works, but I get 2 screens where I should get one. One has the proper title but is black, the other shows the game menu but has title "unknown" | 16:40 |
ErwinJunge | psycho_oreos, could you elaborate a bit? What kind of modding do you mean to push it to its limits? | 16:40 |
psycho_oreos | ErwinJunge, the funny thing you see here is, the N900 has 3 hirose u.fl connectors. These are for wlan, cellular and GPS. If lets say I drill some small holes on the actual N900 PCB, have adapters to convert hirose u.fl to RP-SMA and have three RP-SMA heads sticking out on the back. Attaching right antennas for each of those I gain signal boost :) | 16:42 |
*** valdyn_ has joined #maemo | 16:42 | |
ErwinJunge | Sounds cool, you live in the middle of nowhere? :) Living in the Netherlands, I can't really envision a use for that, other than awesomeness-factor. | 16:43 |
*** buntfalke_ has joined #maemo | 16:43 | |
psycho_oreos | the second thing I'm looking at is to see if there's an antenna connector somewhere for the bluetooth module as I wouldn't want it to be a leech and suck on wlan's connectivity. Maybe even modding the fm transmitter to have external antenna could be possible. Last but not least, was looking at gyroscope/compass that other's have pointed out. I can see there's a bit of space within the front side of N900 (looking at the PCB board of course) maybe some sort | 16:44 |
psycho_oreos | of wiring with chips hanging on those front sides could be a possibility | 16:44 |
psycho_oreos | ErwinJunge, wouldn't really say in the middle of nowhere but if I can turn this into a living reality, it would be really nice to have a device sticking out differently from the crowd :) | 16:45 |

*** Openfree^ has quit IRC | 16:46 | |
ErwinJunge | Just having an N900 doesn't make you stand out enough? It's not really the most popular phone ever ;) | 16:47 |
psycho_oreos | I mean notably with wl1251 being open sourced, and having wifi pentesting tool such as aircrack-ng working with it. If you have lets say a 5dbi antenna attached, you could pick up APs from further distances. GPS issues? well with antenna attached it'll be able to pick up satellites more easily.. cellular issues? with external antenna you'll probably be able to still obtain signals even though you seem to be in the middle of nowhere | 16:47 |
psycho_oreos | well I admit having N900 would probably stand out (especially if you have kept the device for awhile) but one thing that annoys me with so many small avenues like these that are made possible, why not try to exploit them? | 16:48 |
ErwinJunge | All true, it does broaden the applicability of the device. | 16:48 |

psycho_oreos | I may however if I do decide to eventually modify mine, I will make a documentation for it. | 16:51 |
ErwinJunge | Too bad, I might actually be interested :) | 16:51 |
*** sid_ has joined #maemo | 16:51 | |
psycho_oreos | well I can't see how the other two mobs that modded their N900 in their own ways would be happy to mod yours or anyone else's ;) I can't see why the same logic doesn't apply here | 16:52 |
ErwinJunge | Too many negatives in that sentence, I don't get what you mean :) | 16:52 |
ErwinJunge | Anyways, apparantly noone here has used SDL_gles :( | 16:53 |
psycho_oreos | the people who did hardware modifications on their N900 (i.e. 3000mAH battery hack, amp hack) didn't say they'll provide service to modify anyone else's device. No? :) | 16:53 |
psycho_oreos | I'm sure simply put. If people are really desperate to modify their own device, they would do it themselves rather than paying someone else to do it and giving the other party grief when things don't work | 16:55 |
*** sid__ has quit IRC | 16:55 | |
ErwinJunge | Well, giving the other party grief doesn't make sense :) I'd approach it more in a "you have less chance of screwing this up than I do" kind of way. | 16:55 |
ErwinJunge | If I try to modify my device, I run a 100% risk of completely destroying it. If you get it to work on yours, the risk is at least lower than 100% ;) | 16:56 |
psycho_oreos | more like as in, `hey! I paid you to modify my device but now it doesn't work! why? I want my money back! you broke my device!' | 16:56 |
ErwinJunge | I understand, it's just not really the kind of contract you'd expect for these kind of services. A "no guarantees" thing makes a lot more sense. Modding is inherantly risky. | 16:57 |
psycho_oreos | I'm sure you could hire any electrician or a reliable hobbyist to do the job of modding your device :) | 16:57 |
ErwinJunge | I'd be paying for a reduction of risk, not removal of risk. | 16:58 |
ErwinJunge | True | 16:58 |
ErwinJunge | Would come with the same "no guarantees" thing though ;) | 16:58 |
psycho_oreos | yup but many don't realise that.. its quite evident on tmo threads that there's lots and lots of newbs out there who just doesn't have a clue about anything and they're the ones that will give you woes if you offer them services in which they may regret later in life | 16:58 |
psycho_oreos | not really, they'll still bicker even if you said that | 16:59 |
*** unixSnob has joined #maemo | 16:59 | |

*** mase76 has joined #maemo | 17:00 | |
ErwinJunge | True :) I understand why you'd be hesitant to offer services. | 17:01 |
psycho_oreos | at any rate I intend to first add those 3 antennas in, they seem to be the easiest of the lot when it comes to modding | 17:01 |
ErwinJunge | Sounds awesome. Where would they stick out of the body? | 17:02 |
*** Openfree^ has joined #maemo | 17:02 | |
psycho_oreos | from the rear would be ideal, though there's other thoughts that circulated around my head, such as if one uses 3000mAH battery mod with a mugen back cover, they maybe able to easily mod that back cover to incorporate three holes for RP-SMA. | 17:03 |
*** mayday_jay has joined #maemo | 17:03 | |
ErwinJunge | And then run cables around the battery? | 17:04 |
psycho_oreos | Then there's the thought of custom back cover which would be something like a mixture of nokia's stock back cover plus mugen's back cover.. with bigger kick stand and proper camera door, etc | 17:04 |
*** kimitake has joined #maemo | 17:05 | |
*** Atarii has joined #maemo | 17:06 | |
*** crashanddie has quit IRC | 17:06 | |
psycho_oreos | nah, been looking at the backside of the N900 and I can see it looks like there is some sort of lump on the plastic part (once you remove the back cover of course). I was thinking of drilling holes there and having three RP-SMA heads sticking out. Obviously I wouldn't want to use extra long hirose u.fl -> RP-SMA as that would defeat the purpose as well as making a mess | 17:06 |
ErwinJunge | Hmm.. do you have a blog/forum thread/wiki/anything else that I can follow? | 17:06 |
*** setanta has joined #maemo | 17:06 | |
psycho_oreos | currently no, these are only speculations on my head. If I were serious about it I'd probably blog/forum thread it, especially if I'm going to proceed doing what I have said. Right now these are just imaginations and I won't be able to do them in the near future until my finance approves | 17:07 |

*** Evanescence has quit IRC | 17:14 | |
psycho_oreos | adapters (hirose u.fl -> RP-SMA) of specific lengths (which needs to be measured), specific drill bits and drill of course | 17:15 |
psycho_oreos | I think I already have the right screw heads to undo the screws on the backside of N900, the rest of other mods require soldering tools, flux, etc | 17:16 |

DocScrutinizer | psycho_oreos: BT and WLAN share one antenna, and one hirose connector | 17:22 |
DocScrutinizer | psycho_oreos: no, drilling holes into the PCB is *no* good idea | 17:23 |
*** unixSnob has joined #maemo | 17:23 | |
psycho_oreos | DocScrutinizer, FFS! damn parasite BT for sharing same antenna as WLAN | 17:23 |
DocScrutinizer | I don't see the problem | 17:24 |
psycho_oreos | well yeah though I was looking at empty PCB spots and I thought there was an area where I can drill holes (after comparing both pictures) it seems to be blank area | 17:24 |
psycho_oreos | well it is a problem if for example you're using rfmon with wlan and you're listening to music through bt headphones | 17:24 |
DocScrutinizer | forget it, there are no "blank areas" on a 7 layer PCB | 17:25 |
psycho_oreos | bah :/ | 17:25 |
psycho_oreos | so other ways would be to have cable going around the PCB, i.e. where there are gaps for buttons, and stylus pen for instance | 17:26 |
DocScrutinizer | psycho_oreos: so what's the difference with BT getting killed by WLAN when they share one antenna, compared to a situation where a dedicated WLAN antenna interferes and kills BT on the dedicated BT antenna nearby? | 17:26 |
*** tzafrir has joined #maemo | 17:26 | |
*** NIN101 has quit IRC | 17:26 | |
jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: same shit | 17:26 |
jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: transmitter is slightly simpler though | 17:27 |
DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: see backscroll for context | 17:27 |
DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: psycho_oreos wants to separate BT and WLAN antenna to fix an unfixable issue | 17:27 |
DocScrutinizer | actually it *is* fixable and *got fixed*, by hw coexistence | 17:28 |
psycho_oreos | DocScrutinizer, its more like WLAN gets interference from BT when its in RFMON mode. Though if both had separate antennas and lets say that I add antennas and place them elsewhere (not within 1 metre radius) it wouldn't be of an issue as compared to having them both together | 17:28 |
DocScrutinizer | nonsesne | 17:28 |
psycho_oreos | well, in the case that I've examined of hw coexistance via lxp's bleeding-edge drivers, it wasn't fixed. It was still showing the same issue | 17:29 |
DocScrutinizer | exactly the same, unless you place your BT antenna further away than the peer's wlan antenna | 17:29 |
*** NIN101 has joined #maemo | 17:29 | |
DocScrutinizer | psycho_oreos: you evidently have a odd idea of how bt/wlan interference and coexistence work | 17:30 |
psycho_oreos | but in either case none of this would be possible if both share the exact same antenna anyway :) its not like you could place BT and WLAN antenna at like 1 km apart :) | 17:30 |
*** BCMM has joined #maemo | 17:30 | |
psycho_oreos | DocScrutinizer, *shrugs* from the way I see it, there's no real proper coexistance :) they both operate on the similar frequency (2.4GHz) | 17:31 |
DocScrutinizer | BT and WLAN share one frequency. period. | 17:31 |
DocScrutinizer | there's absolutely no way to make them work concurrently in same geographic area, without separating domains by RF-tight walls | 17:32 |
DocScrutinizer | coexistence manages some sort of round-robbing tdma | 17:32 |
DocScrutinizer | aka scheduling | 17:33 |
DocScrutinizer | this doesn't mean you cured the basic immanent problem | 17:33 |
psycho_oreos | which wouldn't work in the case of one having wlan in rfmon mode and bt paired and sending data to another device | 17:33 |
DocScrutinizer | it can not work | 17:34 |
ShadowJK | actually BT2 has AFH, which excludes the most noisiest channels from the frequency hopping list. I've seen my E75 avoid my wlan frequency when I start pushing lots of data over wlan | 17:34 |
DocScrutinizer | ShadowJK: psycho_oreos talks about "passive" wlan in monitor mode, scanning whole band I guess. BT will *always* interfere with that | 17:35 |
psycho_oreos | which was precisely my problem. Though little did I know that you had to separate WLAN and BT miles apart in order to have them work concurrently for a simple issue | 17:35 |
*** TimmyT has joined #maemo | 17:35 | |
DocScrutinizer | and separating antennae by 1, 2, 5m doesn't help either | 17:35 |
*** GNUtoo|laptop has joined #maemo | 17:36 | |
*** TimmyT has quit IRC | 17:36 | |
psycho_oreos | wlan operates on a smaller spectrum than bt but in either case its inevitable that both of them overlaps each other | 17:38 |
DocScrutinizer | psycho_oreos: if you want to use your speaker box for microphone (which of course would theoretically work), then it won't help if you get a 2nd speaker 1m away playing your heavy metal @ 110dBm, you still can't record the dialog of two guys 10m away while the box is shouting your heavy metal sound | 17:38 |
jacekowski | well, if you make channels smaller | 17:39 |
jacekowski | and avoid using same frequency for bt and wlan at the same time | 17:39 |
psycho_oreos | or lower the TX power of bt | 17:39 |
jacekowski | it could work | 17:39 |
jacekowski | but recievers would have to be bit more selective | 17:39 |
DocScrutinizer | quite obviously it's incredibly hard to impossible to use the box that plays heavy metal to do the microphone also record audio other than heavy metal (the bt and wlan share one antenna case) - but separating it into 2 boxes and placing them 2 meters apart doesn't really better things | 17:40 |
jacekowski | directional antennas | 17:40 |
psycho_oreos | that'd work to a lesser point :) but still I guess I'm at a loss | 17:41 |
DocScrutinizer | hell, simply switch off your friggin heavy metal music aka BT when you want to record faint dialogs aka WLAN scan | 17:41 |
*** buntfalke_ is now known as buntfalke | 17:41 | |
jacekowski | never switch off heavy metal | 17:41 |
ShadowJK | bt normally spams entire 2.4G band :) | 17:42 |
DocScrutinizer | BT and WLAN use same frequency and thus are immanently incompatible technologies | 17:42 |
psycho_oreos | better yet, if two or more devices wants to share one internet connection from one device through bt and invariably PAN whilst monitoring wlan traffic, the situation is not viable by any means. Maybe the next step is USB network? maybe even communicating through stereo jack? :) | 17:43 |
ShadowJK | unless it detects strong interference on one channel, it'll avoid that channel until interference goes away | 17:43 |
jacekowski | use 5Ghz wifi | 17:46 |
*** setanta has quit IRC | 17:46 | |
jacekowski | and 2.4GHz bty | 17:46 |

jacekowski | well, if you have single chip doing bt and wlan or cooperating chips | 17:51 |
jacekowski | you could probably make them to try transmitting on different channels | 17:51 |
DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: different to WHAT? for rfmon wlan scanning | 17:52 |
*** flo_lap has joined #maemo | 17:53 | |
*** eMHa has quit IRC | 17:53 | |
jacekowski | i mean if it's single chip you could probably add dsp and filter out current bt transmission | 17:53 |
DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: for normal "concurrent" use of WLAN and BT data transfer there is coexistence already | 17:53 |
*** jas4711 has joined #maemo | 17:53 | |
jacekowski | but costs would be much higher | 17:53 |
SpeedEvil | jacekowski: It doesn't work | 17:54 |
jacekowski | it does work | 17:54 |

*** Venemo has quit IRC | 17:54 | |
*** rm_you has quit IRC | 17:54 | |
SpeedEvil | jacekowski: The minute reflections from the transmitter and changes in its environment will utterly swamp the inbound signal | 17:54 |
jacekowski | wireless collision detection works on similiar principle | 17:54 |
DocScrutinizer | will introduce TIM noise that can't get dsp'ed out | 17:54 |
SpeedEvil | Wireless collision detection doesn't work like that. | 17:55 |
*** rm_you has joined #maemo | 17:55 | |
jacekowski | not exactly like that | 17:55 |
SpeedEvil | It has a listen for other transmitters while not transmitting phase. | 17:55 |
jacekowski | it looks for unexpected signals | 17:55 |
jacekowski | even when transmitting | 17:55 |
DocScrutinizer | during mute periods, yes | 17:55 |
*** radic has quit IRC | 17:55 | |
DocScrutinizer | NO not during TX | 17:55 |
DocScrutinizer | you can not do this | 17:55 |
SpeedEvil | You cannot listen for signals on the same frequecy during TX | 17:55 |
SpeedEvil | With hardware foind in a phone. | 17:56 |
DocScrutinizer | not even with hw worth k$ | 17:56 |
SpeedEvil | It is sort-of-possible in some other cases with large fixed antennas. | 17:56 |
jacekowski | DocScrutinizer: well, that's how 10base2 works | 17:56 |
DocScrutinizer | pff | 17:56 |
SpeedEvil | 10base2 is not wifi. | 17:57 |
jacekowski | and wifi is similiar | 17:57 |
DocScrutinizer | not at all | 17:57 |
*** Scifig has joined #maemo | 17:57 | |
SpeedEvil | jacekowski: It's really, really not. | 17:57 |
SpeedEvil | jacekowski: It's similar in the same way that constructing a tree from playdough and from DNA is similar. | 17:57 |
SpeedEvil | 10base2 transmits a constant voltage on the line, which can be sensed, just before sending the real signal. | 17:58 |
DocScrutinizer | on a wire like 10B2 you know your local RX is seeing "the same" as the far end RX. On OTA RF this definitely doesn't apply | 17:58 |
*** sirdancealot has quit IRC | 17:58 | |
*** hannesw__ has quit IRC | 17:59 | |
SpeedEvil | With 10base2, the signal you are detecting is at the same voltage as the signal you're sending. | 17:59 |
SpeedEvil | With wifi, it is literally often billions of times weaker. | 17:59 |
DocScrutinizer | so when I send a signal over a wire and my local RX doesn't receive what I've sent, I detect a collision | 17:59 |
* ShadowJK vaguely remembers some researches recently announcing a breakthrough in receive-while-transmitting | 17:59 | |

*** sid__ has joined #maemo | 18:00 | |

DocScrutinizer | which isn't given for simple over-the-air RF transmission schemens | 18:03 |
SpeedEvil | The nasty fundamental problem of shared wireless is that you can interfere with signals you can't quite demofulate. | 18:03 |
SpeedEvil | demodulate | 18:03 |
DocScrutinizer | yes | 18:03 |
*** javispedro has joined #maemo | 18:03 | |

ErwinJunge | I'm aware that neither version of GLES has the functionality that OpenGL has. That's also not what I meant :) Darkplaces was already ported to GLES2 to use on the iPhone. I meant the original used SDL_OPENGL instead of either SDL_HWSURFACE or SDL_SWSURFACE | 21:38 |
Juozapas | how to use apt-get with * symbol? ex i want to remove mahjong game: apt-get remove *mahjong | 21:38 |
Juozapas | it returns syntax error | 21:39 |
ErwinJunge | Which led to the version of SDL included with the N900 to want to load libGL.so.1, which failed (logically) | 21:39 |
*** geaaru has joined #maemo | 21:39 | |
ErwinJunge | So which does Maemo SDL use internally? SW_SURFACE or HW_SURFACE? | 21:40 |
ErwinJunge | It would be nice to put the right one in the code directly, just for clarity | 21:40 |
javispedro | SWSURFACE=0 | 21:41 |
*** bindi has quit IRC | 21:41 | |
javispedro | so nothing=SWSURFACE ;) | 21:41 |
javispedro | internally, only SWSURFACE Is used. | 21:41 |

ErwinJunge | javispedro, I seem to be inadvertently opening 2 screens, where I want only 1. | 22:07 |
javispedro | ? | 22:07 |
ErwinJunge | 1 screen has the correct title, but stays black, the other screen has title "unknown" but has the actual menu content of the game | 22:08 |
ErwinJunge | Ever heard of this happening before? | 22:08 |
javispedro | you mean windows | 22:08 |
*** peterbjornx has joined #maemo | 22:08 | |
ErwinJunge | Yeah, sorry | 22:08 |
javispedro | are you changing between fullscreen and windowed mode? | 22:08 |
peterbjornx | hello everyone | 22:08 |
ErwinJunge | I might be... (still learning the code). Could that be the reason if I am? | 22:09 |
peterbjornx | i messed up on my n900 | 22:09 |
*** beford has joined #maemo | 22:09 | |
peterbjornx | i kinda nuked the /usr/lib library directory | 22:09 |
javispedro | ErwinJunge: on the SetVideoMode call add SDL_FULLSCREEN to flags, and remove any other call that toggles Fullscreen mode | 22:10 |
lcuk | peterbjornx, so reflash? | 22:10 |
peterbjornx | i had been on windows too long and assumed CP would ask for permission to replace files | 22:10 |
peterbjornx | i cannot | 22:10 |
peterbjornx | it doesnt get to USB icon | 22:10 |
javispedro | nuking the /usr/lib directory doesn't cause again, so "try harder" =) | 22:11 |
peterbjornx | i think init itself crashes or something very early in the init process | 22:11 |
javispedro | s/cause again/cause that/ | 22:11 |
infobot | javispedro meant: nuking the /usr/lib directory doesn't cause that, so "try harder" =) | 22:11 |
lcuk | power down, remove battery, insert usb cable, start flasher until it says "cannot find device", insert battery. | 22:11 |
lcuk | try that | 22:11 |
peterbjornx | ok | 22:11 |
peterbjornx | i feared the worst as i have seen from the bootmenu code that the flasher device-end code appeared to be a linux program and not part of the bootloader | 22:12 |
* lcuk never sees usb icon or presses keys because device is always upside down | 22:12 | |
ErwinJunge | javispedro, if I call SetVideoMode multiple times, I have to set SDL_FULLSCREEN everytime, right? Or is it a toggle? | 22:14 |
*** hannesw__ has quit IRC | 22:14 | |
javispedro | ErwinJunge: everytime. but, why are you calling it multiple times? | 22:14 |
*** Guest98611 is now known as UndaCovaMaus | 22:15 | |
ErwinJunge | I'm not sure if it actually is called multiple times :) If SDL_VIDEORESIZE is ever emitted, it is called. | 22:15 |
ErwinJunge | Does Maemo ever emit that? | 22:15 |
ErwinJunge | Also, the engine might recreate the screen when starting the actual game (and thus exiting the menu). Starting the game makes the extra screen vanish. | 22:17 |

peterbjornx | Icuk, without the U key it didnt stay in update mode but just crashed, but while pressing U key it worked | 22:31 |
DocScrutinizer | lcuk: you know NOLO is waiting for some magic chars on USB, on boot, for detecting flasher waiting. It does this for a really short period of time, unless you hold 'u' key. You also are aware that on some machines flasher spts out its never ending sequence of magic incantations to invoke NOLO flashing more in a somewhat slowed down way? Bottom line: it's not completely useless to suggest holding 'u', even when users do the battery shuffle | 22:31 |

peterbjornx | can i upgrade firmware without flashing the eMMC | 22:33 |
DocScrutinizer | yes | 22:33 |
lcuk | lol | 22:33 |
peterbjornx | ok , might have been a dumb question but i just wanted to be sure | 22:33 |
Sicelo | hmm. my keypad lights go on & off for no apparent reason, with extra screen brightness each time keypdad lights switch off | 22:34 |
peterbjornx | all kb lights? | 22:34 |
peterbjornx | or just lower left and right corners | 22:34 |
Sicelo | yeah, whole keypad | 22:35 |
DocScrutinizer | Sicelo: ambient light sensor | 22:35 |
*** sid_ has quit IRC | 22:35 | |
peterbjornx | i hated that thing on the N8 i had for a short while | 22:35 |
DocScrutinizer | Sicelo: cover upper left corner of display frame in landscape, and see kbd bl switch on | 22:36 |
peterbjornx | wasnt possible to set screen to full brightness permanently on that piece of **** | 22:36 |
peterbjornx | but now i have a N900 again | 22:36 |
Sicelo | i used to think it was ALS. but is that expected to happen even when ambient light level is constant? | 22:36 |
javispedro | ErwinJunge: (sorry for delay) SDL_VIDEORESIZE might be emitted, but I suggest ignoring it on Maemo; just open fullscreen at either size 0x0 or 800x480 | 22:37 |
DocScrutinizer | Sicelo: if you cover up the sensor then yes | 22:37 |
ErwinJunge | Ok, I'll put an ifndef around it | 22:37 |
peterbjornx | also, can anyone give me a complete pinout of testpads in the n900 | 22:37 |
DocScrutinizer | sensor has a rather spotlight/tele type of characteristics | 22:37 |
Sicelo | yes DocScrutinizer. that works. nothing obstructing sensor in any way | 22:37 |
peterbjornx | i know this is the maemo channel but as the n900 is the only current maemo device | 22:38 |
DocScrutinizer | in a room with dark ceiling and some bright lights a tilting of device by a few degrees completely changes ALS' idea of ambient brightness | 22:38 |
ErwinJunge | Btw, I'm now manually passing -DFREMANTLE to gcc, but is there a define set by the system that I can detect? | 22:38 |
javispedro | ErwinJunge: nope, unless you use Hildon, which you don't. | 22:38 |
*** choppa has joined #maemo | 22:38 | |
javispedro | personally I use MAEMO and MAEMO_VERSION | 22:38 |

DocScrutinizer | peterbjornx: no, there's no such complete list of testpads available publically | 22:39 |
ErwinJunge | Great, thanks for the tip | 22:39 |
DocScrutinizer | peterbjornx: there are partial lists on the wiki | 22:40 |
peterbjornx | ok, so only that image with rs232 and usb pads then? | 22:40 |
peterbjornx | and the wiki | 22:40 |
DocScrutinizer | yes | 22:40 |
DocScrutinizer | kinda | 22:40 |
DocScrutinizer | I know of some more names, but dunno the meanings | 22:41 |
DocScrutinizer | so it's useless | 22:41 |
*** kthomas_vh has joined #maemo | 22:41 | |
DocScrutinizer | one of them is FBUS iirc, so probably modem-related | 22:41 |
peterbjornx | well it might be in the schematics (the name i think , not the actual pads) | 22:42 |
DocScrutinizer | I suspect there have to be JTAG pads as well, but those are unknown | 22:42 |
DocScrutinizer | no, nuttin useful in schematics | 22:43 |

ErwinJunge | javispedro, Do I put the calls to SDL_GLES_SetAttribute before or after SDL_GLES_CreateContext() and SDL_GLES_MakeCurrent()? Currently they're after, but I based that on what I saw neverball use. | 22:45 |
peterbjornx | totally unrelated question, what are the major pitfalls when porting a normal GL program to GLES\ | 22:45 |
javispedro | ErwinJunge: before | 22:45 |
DocScrutinizer | anyway I know for calibrating of modem RF the factory usually *hates* to go via APE programs. They insist in connecting to modem directly | 22:45 |
ErwinJunge | Could that explain the multiple windows? | 22:46 |
a-saint | hello guys I am having problems on N900 with wifi ............ sometimes it shows the ssid on my router sometimes it shows all the networks arround but not my network | 22:46 |
ErwinJunge | peterbjornx, that depends on the version of GL and the version of GLES | 22:46 |
peterbjornx | maybe your router has a bad antenna | 22:46 |
peterbjornx | well, im targeting the n900 so iirc gles 2.0 | 22:47 |
ErwinJunge | it also does 1.1 | 22:47 |
peterbjornx | and my program uses GL 1. something | 22:47 |
peterbjornx | and some ARB | 22:47 |
a-saint | peterbjornx I wish this was the problem but my pc and other devices sees it well | 22:47 |
DocScrutinizer | they also hate to plug in fiddly connectors like micro-USB that can't get mated automatically, so there are the D+/- pads and the VBUS pad on those testpads | 22:47 |
*** sid_ has joined #maemo | 22:48 | |
javispedro | ErwinJunge: the Maemo SDL uses two windows, one for fullscreen and one for windowed mode. | 22:48 |
peterbjornx | a-saint, i dont know it either then | 22:48 |
a-saint | peterbjornx I wish this was the problem but my pc and other devices sees it well | 22:48 |
a-saint | peterbjornx I wish this was the problem but my pc and other devices sees it well | 22:48 |
DocScrutinizer | and *usually* you got some 4 JTAG pins as well, so you can do proper QA in factory, check for dead solder points etc | 22:48 |
a-saint | peterbjornx sorry quick typing ............... will wireless tools help | 22:48 |
javispedro | ErwinJunge: it's long to explain. But either way, windowed mode on Maemo has a rather large performance hit so if this is a GL game it's bets you use Fullscreen and forget about windows. | 22:48 |
ErwinJunge | That was the plan all along, which is why I regard the multiple windows thing as a problem ;) | 22:49 |
*** GNUtoo|laptop has quit IRC | 22:49 | |
peterbjornx | a-saint,i dont know, DocScrutinizer: that would make sense | 22:49 |
DocScrutinizer | JTAG *might* be the way they do things like ALS calibration etc at service points | 22:50 |
javispedro | ErwinJunge: if you are in fullscreen, you do not see the windows =) | 22:50 |
javispedro | (despite the fact they are there) | 22:50 |
ErwinJunge | But will they still both be there? | 22:50 |

DocScrutinizer | JTAG is a special protocol plus hw that allows access to all boundry-check enabled chips' pins directly | 22:53 |
DocScrutinizer | basically a loooong shift register | 22:53 |
ErwinJunge | peterbjornx, I don't really know enough to conclusively say this, but OpenGL 1.5 should be ported to OpenGL ES 1.1, since they are sort of similar. javispedro probably knows more about this :) | 22:53 |
DocScrutinizer | 4 pins | 22:53 |
a-saint | hello guys I am having problems on N900 with wifi ............ sometimes it shows the ssid on my router sometimes it shows all the networks arround but not my network | 22:53 |
peterbjornx | erwinjunge, how about ARB VBO's | 22:53 |
DocScrutinizer | ~jtag | 22:53 |
infobot | extra, extra, read all about it, jtag is a method of reflashing bricked devices. it stands for "joint test access group", if joshua_ remembers correctly. the method used is called "boundary scan" over a parallel port. it works by sending commands to twiddle individual pins on the CPU. LART JTAG info can be found at http://www.lart.tudelft.nl/projects/jtag/ . | 22:53 |
ErwinJunge | javispedro, a related question, does using GLES1.1 instead of GLES2 incur a performance hit, or is it just the flexibility of shaders? | 22:53 |
javispedro | on the pvr there's little performance hit. | 22:54 |
javispedro | other chipsets have more problems. | 22:54 |
ErwinJunge | peterbjornx, you have thoroughly lost me :), see http://wiki.maemo.org/OpenGL-ES | 22:54 |
*** unixSnob has quit IRC | 22:55 | |
ErwinJunge | It has a neat graphic on the differences between the different versions of GL | 22:55 |
peterbjornx | ARB (dunno what it stands for) vertex buffer objects | 22:55 |
ErwinJunge | javispedro, so GLES2 is slightly faster than GLES1.1, or the other way around? | 22:55 |
DocScrutinizer | MEH, better try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jtag | 22:55 |
DocScrutinizer | this link of infobot is dead | 22:56 |
javispedro | ErwinJunge: I do not think the difference is significant on PVR, but other chipsets implement 1.1 on top of 2, and some do a poorly job at that. | 22:56 |
ErwinJunge | peterbjornx, from the page I just linked: Sami Kyöstilä has developed a number of utilities. This includes SDL with OpenGL ES 1.x support, libglutes, python-opengles and several translators to convert OpenGL ES and OpenGL. Note that these utilities are designed for the Nokia N810 and OpenGL ES 1.x. | 22:56 |
