| *** setanta has quit IRC | 01:27 | |
| *** APTX_ has quit IRC | 01:28 | |

| *** momcilo has quit IRC | 01:38 | |
| DocScrutinizer | the absolute true answer is: you'll want bfs-kernel if you want/need bfs | 01:39 |
| DocScrutinizer | as there's been done no proper competitive comparison between cfs and bfs yet, on two otherwise identical machines side by side, and bfs aiui also introduces some tweaks to sysfs/proc adjustable (io-)scheduler params (that probably better were done via a think like swappolube rather than via kernel patches) - well for all that reasons I deprecate cfs for now | 01:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | and of course it's still unclear if the bfs couldn't go to ("mainline"-)PK to be just an option. I.E. I am not convinced we need a new kernel flavour to bring bfs to users, if possibly by any means, bfs should go into PK rather than start a new kernel fork | 01:47 |
| DocScrutinizer | you're aware we got no hen-kernel, no netfilter-kernel, not oc-kernel etc - maybe when you think about it you see why | 01:48 |

| yigal | I wonder if ubuntu or a full open source os can be put on there | 06:03 |
| yigal | if it can I'm going to make the plunge | 06:04 |
| yigal | I mean the main reason I want a device like this is for reading and taking notes with a pen, and this device would do it I'm kind of excited | 06:05 |
| yigal | ya I'm sorry talking about non Nokia products on this channel how dare I | 06:07 |
| yigal | lol | 06:07 |
| jiero | I just don't know any other phones. | 06:08 |
| jiero | so I bought N900 | 06:08 |

| yigal | psycho_oreos: I don't want android on the htc flyer | 06:10 |
| yigal | psycho_oreos: if I buy it, it is because there is a good chance I can set it up like an n800 | 06:11 |
| jiero | yigal: then go #htc | 06:11 |
| psycho_oreos | yigal, its got nothing to do with #maemo | 06:11 |
| *** cyborg-one has joined #maemo | 06:11 | |
| psycho_oreos | that's the bottom line | 06:11 |
| yigal | other than the dream of having a full open source OS on a tablet device, I know I generalize too often | 06:12 |
| psycho_oreos | and no you can't set it up like N800 without somehow working with a hacked kernel + UI framework and design | 06:12 |
| yigal | psycho_oreos: of course | 06:12 |
| yigal | psycho_oreos: I'm used to working on the Viliv S5, but the flyer is much more attractive | 06:12 |
| *** radiofree has quit IRC | 06:12 | |
| yigal | psycho_oreos: Meego worked on the Viliv, and Maemo would've been even nicer | 06:13 |
| psycho_oreos | yigal, again I don't see a correlation with HTC flyer doing in maemo channel. Its offtopic | 06:13 |
| yigal | yes, I as I said before I like to generalize and enjoy the idea that others in the Maemo community want something similiar to what I want namely a full open source OS on a tablet device | 06:15 |
| yigal | but enjoy, enjoy letting me know that what I've said is offtopic | 06:15 |
| yigal | you are so correct | 06:15 |

| TiagoTiago | ...managed to install EasyDebian, but when i try to install Synaptic for Maemo it won't work, same issue as before, following the chain of depencies leads me to sgml-data which apt-get tells me is unavaiable; any idea how i can get this to work? | 08:05 |

| Sicelo | what happened? | 11:18 |
| TiagoTiago | the bootmenu won't load anymore after i uninstalled backup menu | 11:18 |
| *** sirdancealot has quit IRC | 11:19 | |
| psycho_oreos | if you have read that thread, it also depends on bootmenu by fanoush | 11:19 |
| TiagoTiago | those two aren't compatible? | 11:19 |
| Sicelo | TiagoTiago: you are rebooting with keyboard out? | 11:19 |
| psycho_oreos | I'd assume it isn't without editing the entries to maybe make sure it does not clash together | 11:20 |
| TiagoTiago | yep, that is how i can get to the menu to let me boot from the pivotroot or whatever it's called | 11:20 |
| *** piggz has quit IRC | 11:22 | |

| TiagoTiago | backupmenu seems incompatible with the pivotrooting or whatever it's called, couldn't get to the boot menu with it, and uninstalling it messed up the boot menu | 14:17 |

| robbiethe1st | http://robbiethe1st.afraid.org/BackupMenu/flashable_rootfs_v0.56-1-20101109.img is what you need, maby | 14:18 |
| TiagoTiago | can i have backupmenu AND bootmenu working? | 14:18 |
| TiagoTiago | i mean, both functionalities, not just backupmenu | 14:18 |
| robbiethe1st | No; backupmenu relies on bootmenu, but steals control over it | 14:19 |
| robbiethe1st | ...Oh, I know what you're running into: you need to purge the package | 14:19 |
| TiagoTiago | too late, the reflash is already done, i'm starting over | 14:19 |
| robbiethe1st | Fair enough | 14:19 |
| TiagoTiago | why backupmenu doesn't offer an option of showing the bootmenu that was present before installing backupmenu? | 14:20 |
| robbiethe1st | Also, there's a way to make both work together, and some have made it work, but I haven't | 14:20 |
| robbiethe1st | Because I can't figure out how to make it work. If I make a "proper" bootmenu module for BM, it just refuses to show my menu. | 14:20 |
| robbiethe1st | If I have a "fake" module(which just outright runs BM) it works. | 14:21 |
| robbiethe1st | Some people have gotten it to work the other way - editing /etc/bootmenu.d/backupmenu file correctly | 14:21 |
| robbiethe1st | But I've tried like 5 times, and couldn't get it to work on my device | 14:21 |
| TiagoTiago | I wouldn't even know where to start | 14:22 |
| robbiethe1st | Check the topic; there's instructions somewhere in there | 14:22 |
| robbiethe1st | I'd try an advanced search | 14:22 |
| *** rd has quit IRC | 14:23 | |
| TiagoTiago | they mention backupmenu a few times, but never say anything about it actually working, there are one or two posts saying they uninstalled it, and somthing else, but i couldn't find anything about being able to have it and the pivotroot thing working together | 14:24 |
| *** lxp has joined #maemo | 14:25 | |
| robbiethe1st | What pivot_root thing? | 14:25 |
| robbiethe1st | I mean, pivot_root is a function that'd let you boot something different... but what are you doing with it | 14:26 |
| TiagoTiago | the thing to have a copy of the rootfs on the eMMC and run from it | 14:26 |
| TiagoTiago | sec, lemme get you the link to the thread | 14:26 |
| robbiethe1st | Oh. Um, may I ask why? | 14:26 |
| TiagoTiago | http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=59374 | 14:26 |
| TiagoTiago | so i don't have to worry about rootfs filling up | 14:27 |
| TiagoTiago | i'm using Pali's version of the scripts, from a few pages down | 14:27 |
| robbiethe1st | Seems to me like just symlinking a few files'd be quicker and faster... | 14:27 |
| TiagoTiago | this way i don't have to do anything, just set it once and it puts everything in the eMMC automaticly | 14:28 |
| robbiethe1st | Also, I will give you a slight warning: I've had the OptFS EXT2 partition get corrupted about 3 times so far in the last year, completely randomly | 14:28 |
| robbiethe1st | So just make sure you keep a backup once in a while | 14:28 |
| TiagoTiago | If i was using it the normal way i would have to make backups anyway, since a screwed /home can't be helped by much other than a reflash, no? | 14:33 |
| robbiethe1st | Potentially yes; I've had good luck running FSCK manually; it worked at least 1/3 times. | 14:34 |
| robbiethe1st | But that did require having USB access to it, something - AFAIK - that's only available with BM currently | 14:35 |
| TiagoTiago | or that recue OS thing, no? | 14:35 |
| robbiethe1st | Potentially; I've never used it | 14:35 |
| robbiethe1st | It should work right provided it has all it's needed files on the rootfs | 14:35 |
| *** rd has joined #maemo | 14:36 | |

| TiagoTiago | How many less N900 would you expect Nokia would've sold if they treated it as a developer model like the N950 (though still producing as many as necessary to cover whatever demand there would've been) ? | 14:48 |
| jiero | N950 is not for selling. | 14:49 |
| Venemo | TiagoTiago, a LOT less. | 14:51 |
| TiagoTiago | Really? Why do you think that? | 14:52 |
| *** Evanescence has quit IRC | 14:52 | |
| TiagoTiago | I thought most of the people who bought it were the same kind of people that went after the 950 | 14:55 |
| bindi | i'd very much like the n950 | 14:55 |
| bindi | my n900 is getting old :p | 14:55 |
| bindi | i'm not a friend of android really | 14:55 |
| bindi | and hw qwerty kb is a must | 14:56 |
| TiagoTiago | Even with all its flaws, i still would have a hard time finding some other device i would be satisfied to have as a replacement for my N900 (TBH i haven't checked the specs and other details on the N950 too deeply yet, but it might be a good replacement, not sure) | 14:58 |
| Veggen | bindi: for that reason, I got myself an HTC desire z. I lost my n900 at a time when there was no maemo replacement to be had...(and besides, it was in the list of approved purchases at work, which a maemo phone would not be. | 14:58 |
| SpeedEvil | TiagoTiago: you can't get a n950 | 14:59 |
| SpeedEvil | (commercially) | 14:59 |

| LaoLang_cool | qt or gtk on n900 | 15:41 |
| MohammadAG | either one | 15:41 |
| LaoLang_cool | both? I heard that gtk is the native support | 15:41 |
| MohammadAG | yes, but Qt is styled to look native | 15:41 |
| MohammadAG | think of it as GNOME on Ubuntu running KDE apps | 15:41 |
| LaoLang_cool | ah, got it | 15:41 |
| TiagoTiago | IF money wasn't an obstacle, do you guys expect the community would know how to make a successful successor for the N900, worthy of being called its successor? | 15:41 |
| TiagoTiago | If* | 15:41 |
| MohammadAG | basically, you get both toolkits and they look the same | 15:41 |
| MohammadAG | TiagoTiago, yes | 15:42 |
| Ikarus | TiagoTiago: Nokia essentially made one already | 15:42 |
| Ikarus | (N950) | 15:42 |
| MohammadAG | it can be improved | 15:42 |
| Ikarus | also, yes enough people are mad about it | 15:42 |
| MohammadAG | USB OTG hardware support, HDMI, better CPU, etc | 15:42 |
| Ikarus | MohammadAG: OMAP 4 platform | 15:42 |
| MohammadAG | well, yes, that covers everything | 15:43 |
| MohammadAG | and throw in a 12MP camera, not that it matters | 15:43 |
| MohammadAG | the only thing I wouldn't change is RAM | 15:43 |
| LaoLang_cool | where can I get n950? I heard it's for developer only | 15:43 |
| Ikarus | heck, some ex-Nokia engineers would even help | 15:43 |
| Ikarus | LaoLang_cool: you can't get it | 15:43 |
| *** croppa has quit IRC | 15:43 | |
| TiagoTiago | Why big companies don't see that potential in the community and sponsor our dream device? | 15:43 |
| LaoLang_cool | Ikarus, bad news | 15:43 |
| MohammadAG | you can get the N9 | 15:44 |
| Ikarus | TiagoTiago: because it's not the quickest route to a buck | 15:44 |
| SpeedEvil | Or they believe it would dilute their 'brand image' | 15:44 |
| SpeedEvil | Or spoil their strategy. | 15:44 |
| Ikarus | hmhm | 15:44 |
| SpeedEvil | Or confuse stockholders. | 15:44 |
| Ikarus | thing is that designing a phone is hella expensive | 15:45 |
| LaoLang_cool | MohammadAG, n950 has full keyboard, I like fuu keyboard | 15:45 |
| MohammadAG | I barely use it | 15:45 |
| SpeedEvil | The keyboard on the n900 is better. | 15:45 |
| MohammadAG | except for terminal and IRC | 15:45 |
| SpeedEvil | IMO | 15:45 |
| MohammadAG | SpeedEvil++ | 15:45 |
| TiagoTiago | Is it still exspensive if you got a bunch of customers working for free to design somthing they will be buying? | 15:45 |
| SpeedEvil | The lack of rounded keys make it hard. | 15:45 |
| SpeedEvil | TiagoTiago: yes | 15:45 |
| MohammadAG | the vkb is way better though | 15:45 |
| Ikarus | actually one great thing would be if we could get the physical design of the N900 or N950 and design a new CPU board for it, the mechanical engineering is probably far harder | 15:45 |
| *** cehteh has quit IRC | 15:45 | |
| MohammadAG | a lot more usable than iOS's keyboard | 15:45 |
| SpeedEvil | TiagoTiago: In order to design and construct the hardware, you need a large slice of a million dollars. | 15:46 |
| *** jpe has joined #maemo | 15:46 | |
| Ikarus | SpeedEvil: hmhm | 15:46 |
| SpeedEvil | Probably several. | 15:46 |
| MohammadAG | design, you don't need a lot | 15:46 |
| SpeedEvil | In order to get to the point where you can order 5000 phones. | 15:46 |
| MohammadAG | constructing it, and putting it through production is | 15:46 |
| SpeedEvil | Which you need to do to get the costs down. | 15:46 |
| TiagoTiago | I forgot, did they do away with the inverted T arrowkeys (which is mean for 3 fingers and not 1 thumb) is is it still a bit awkard in that area? | 15:46 |
| Ikarus | MohammadAG: the cost of debugging is also quite high | 15:46 |
| TiagoTiago | meant* | 15:46 |
| SpeedEvil | http://www.mauve.plus.com/opensourcehw.txt | 15:46 |
| TiagoTiago | or is it* | 15:46 |
| MohammadAG | Ikarus, debugging what | 15:46 |
| SpeedEvil | 'Why open source hardware is hard' | 15:47 |
| MohammadAG | we're still talking hardware | 15:47 |
| Ikarus | remember the hardware mostly | 15:47 |
| SpeedEvil | MohammadAG: See above | 15:47 |
| SpeedEvil | MohammadAG: Hardware debugging is _HARD_ | 15:47 |
| Ikarus | MohammadAG: the documents by TI on the OMAP chips (like any complex CPU) have so many errata and you need to keep up with them | 15:47 |
| SpeedEvil | A 'build, crash, gdb, edit' cycle may cost $1500 | 15:47 |
| Ikarus | SpeedEvil: C) "The chipmaker for the main chip hasn't noticed that their chip doesn't quite do what they say it will do, and the datasheet is wrong." is quite common | 15:48 |
| LaoLang_cool | MohammadAG, why "except for terminal and IRC"? | 15:48 |
| SpeedEvil | Ikarus: Indeed | 15:48 |
| MohammadAG | LaoLang_cool, like to type fast(er) in those | 15:48 |
| LaoLang_cool | I'm looking for a phone that good for terminal and irc.. | 15:48 |
| MohammadAG | I get good speeds on vkb though | 15:48 |
| MohammadAG | but I get 70WPM or so on the hwkb | 15:49 |
| SpeedEvil | on the n900? | 15:49 |
| Ikarus | LaoLang_cool: still get a used N900 | 15:49 |
| MohammadAG | SpeedEvil, no, 80-90 on that | 15:49 |
| SpeedEvil | Wow. | 15:49 |
| SpeedEvil | I only hit ~35wpm, and I considered that quite good. | 15:49 |
| LaoLang_cool | MohammadAG, you mean that vkb has faster speed on typing than phical keyboard? | 15:50 |
| MohammadAG | LaoLang_cool, the vkb on the N9 is much faster than the N900's | 15:50 |
| Ikarus | SpeedEvil: but a conservative design based on the huge physical package of the N900 might actually be doable | 15:50 |
| MohammadAG | but a hwkb is always faster than a vkb one | 15:50 |
| LaoLang_cool | MohammadAG, got it | 15:50 |
| LaoLang_cool | that's why I like hwkb | 15:50 |
| MohammadAG | faster than iOS's or Android's tbh | 15:50 |
| TiagoTiago | I've been complemented on my typing speed on my my N900, though it was just regular civilians, i don't really have all that many computer nerd friends to hang with IRL | 15:51 |
| TiagoTiago | or is it complimented? how do i spell that? | 15:51 |
| MohammadAG | sent a whole composition in 5 minutes without looking once | 15:51 |
| MohammadAG | complimented | 15:51 |
| SpeedEvil | Ikarus: What do you mean? | 15:52 |
| LaoLang_cool | IRL? | 15:53 |
| Ikarus | SpeedEvil: the new OMAP 4 platform is smaller in size and more importantly, fewer highspeed external busses, if you can fit that in the N900 physical formfactor instead of aiming higher you can design a very conservative PCB | 15:53 |

| DocScrutinizer | undervolting is nonsense | 17:37 |

| DocScrutinizer | :-P | 17:38 |
| DocScrutinizer | (undervlting) well it might reduce temperature of CPU chip a bit, which massively helps to extend lifespan on OC | 17:39 |
| sheepbat | how about sticking it directly in front of an AC vent a good portion of the time it's being used? | 17:40 |
| MohammadAG | cools the plastic rather than the chip | 17:40 |
| robbiethe1st | Personally, I undervolted to where it crashed, then brought it up to where it was stable. Seems to work great | 17:40 |
| DocScrutinizer | elecric current is main culprit of OC-tear&wear | 17:40 |
| DocScrutinizer | not temperature | 17:40 |
| robbiethe1st | Well, it will help, but it'll help extend the battery life more than anything | 17:40 |
| DocScrutinizer | temperature just helps | 17:40 |
| DocScrutinizer | ekectric current *is* higher on higher CPU clock freq, no matter what you do to fight SmartReflex | 17:41 |
| *** kwtm has joined #maemo | 17:41 | |
| MohammadAG | but for cooling you'd need a direct conductor on the surface of the chip | 17:41 |
| MohammadAG | like a heatsink | 17:42 |
| DocScrutinizer | that too | 17:42 |
| robbiethe1st | One thing you could do is setup a script to check approximate temp(from the battery) and limit the CPU depending on that | 17:42 |
| robbiethe1st | So you could use it at high OC for short bursts, then slow it down if you're doing something that takes a while | 17:43 |
| DocScrutinizer | the thermal resistance from CPU chip to mainboard "heatsink" is several °C/W, and you can't reduce the heat that builds up in die a lot by cooling the mainboard | 17:43 |
| robbiethe1st | Liquid nitrogen! | 17:43 |
| robbiethe1st | Even at several C higher than -180C or w/e, it's still cold enough. | 17:44 |
| robbiethe1st | :P | 17:44 |
| DocScrutinizer | robbiethe1st: (short bursts) correct - for temperature build-up - alas those short periods are sub-millisecond until the chip die heated up locally | 17:44 |
| robbiethe1st | Oh well. I'd just invest in a spare, used N900, and crank that thing up as high as you can safely go | 17:45 |
| sheepbat | yeah.. at the prices ebay lists, I can buy another one pretty easily | 17:46 |
| robbiethe1st | Keep backups every week or so(BM makes it easy), and just restore to the new device when it dies. | 17:46 |
| sheepbat | I'm considering getting two | 17:46 |
| robbiethe1st | Look for 'reboot looped' devices if you can | 17:46 |
| robbiethe1st | /easy/ to fix(reflash is typically all), and often quite cheap | 17:46 |
| sheepbat | they just need a reflash or something? | 17:46 |
| robbiethe1st | It's the OptFS which goes screwy | 17:47 |
| DocScrutinizer | pebcak | 17:47 |
| robbiethe1st | EXT3 on eMMC just... is quite fragile for whatever reason | 17:47 |
| robbiethe1st | Let me put it this way: UbiFS is /far/ more tolerant of issues than EXT3 is | 17:48 |
| DocScrutinizer | well that's true, ... and not. It's just eMMC or flash in general that's fragile on write, so of course also ext3 is fragile on flash | 17:48 |
| robbiethe1st | UbiFS seems to be a /lot/ more resistant, though | 17:48 |

| DocScrutinizer | nope, also not true. It's the way NAND is controlled vs the way MMC is *not* controlled (by CPU) that causes that | 17:49 |
| robbiethe1st | Maby so. Either way, as a whole, A is far less likely to fail than B | 17:50 |
| DocScrutinizer | if you kill the CPU during a page rewrite cycle on NAND then you also will see corrupted pages | 17:50 |
| ale152 | i'm trying to connect my IR webcam to my n900 with h-e-n. I can see my webcam in lsusb, but makedev does not assign it a /dev/video* node, but a strange /dev/usbv1.*_** that I can't read with mplayer. I tried with make it manually with mknod /dev/video3 c 81 0, but it doesn't work. What can I do? | 17:50 |
| ale152 | *tried to | 17:51 |
| DocScrutinizer | the point is NAND ubifs is made to avoid page rewrites | 17:51 |

| *** swc|666 has joined #maemo | 17:52 | |
| TiagoTiago | i know it is possible, but would it cause any showstopper imcompatibility or somthing? | 17:53 |
| DocScrutinizer | ale152: well, I'm glas to hear h-e-n basically works :-D. Check what drivers you need and what parameters those drivers may need | 17:53 |
| DocScrutinizer | glad* | 17:53 |

| ale152 | mmm | 17:55 |
| DocScrutinizer | ale152: standard approach is to closely inspect how things work on a PC, then copy this concept to your N900 | 17:55 |
| ale152 | i was just going to say that :D | 17:55 |
| DocScrutinizer | major-minor and udev and mknode all are assuming you got a proper kernel module to deal with that particular peripheral | 17:55 |

| DocScrutinizer | afaik | 17:57 |
| ale152 | i read about a dude who managed to use and external webcam on n900, but he didn't explain how to do that | 17:57 |

| *** booiiing has quit IRC | 17:59 | |
| DocScrutinizer | you need to find out which kernelmodule.so gets loaded by udev for your webcam, on PC | 17:59 |
| ale152 | if I found the proper source driver, I can just compile it with scratchbox? | 17:59 |
| DocScrutinizer | lsmod might help | 18:00 |
| *** booiiing has joined #maemo | 18:00 | |
| DocScrutinizer | maybe, it's your only chance anyway :-) | 18:00 |
| ale152 | and if I found the drivers source? | 18:01 |
| ale152 | *what if | 18:01 |
| ale152 | ok, the coder won't never release the driver source :( | 18:03 |
| Kowalczyk | hmmm is it possible to compile stuff from source on the n900? I tried to compile irssi but I get permission denied on ./configure as root and regular user | 18:03 |
| ale152 | Kowalczyk, you have to install the make suite | 18:03 |
| Kowalczyk | aha | 18:04 |
| Kowalczyk | same as debian? build-essentials?:D | 18:04 |
| Kowalczyk | because irssi from app manager doesnt have perl compiled right? | 18:04 |
| ale152 | mmm, I can't remember how I did it, but it was not very easy... | 18:05 |

| *** Smily has quit IRC | 18:09 | |

| DocScrutinizer | setting up a working build environment on N900 isn't exactly trivial, as you'll need to take care about "optification" by yourself | 18:10 |
| *** FIQ|n900 has joined #maemo | 18:10 | |
| DocScrutinizer | I.E. make sure your rootfs won't fill up with lib litter | 18:11 |
| Kowalczyk | DocScrutinizer: ok. hmm any guide how to do it? or how to get perl working in irssi. but then I guess compile from source is the only way | 18:11 |
| SpeedEvil | Kowalczyk: If trying that - copy / to a filesystem with more space - chroot into it - then install build essentials in that. | 18:11 |
| DocScrutinizer | the usual recommended way is to use scratchbox on your desktop PC | 18:11 |
| DocScrutinizer | that was a valid approach how to do it, yes | 18:12 |
| SpeedEvil | Scratchbox is probably more sane | 18:12 |
| SpeedEvil | Unless installing scratchbox is going to be a hideous mess. | 18:12 |
| Kowalczyk | ok. never played scratchbox. never ever looked at it | 18:12 |
| Kowalczyk | with* | 18:13 |
| ale152 | DocScrutinizer, i found the source camera driver:D | 18:14 |
| DocScrutinizer | look, this channel probably has the most lunatic N900 users you can probably find, still I only know of ~2..3 who actually got a working gcc suite on their N900 | 18:14 |
| ale152 | DocScrutinizer, i got :D | 18:14 |
| Kowalczyk | ok. so basically im screwed. hehe | 18:14 |
| DocScrutinizer | ale152: great - give it a shot on scratchbox, see if it compiles without problems | 18:15 |
| Kowalczyk | time to google | 18:15 |
| ale152 | but then i had to flash my n900 because i got no more free space on / :P | 18:15 |
| Kowalczyk | mine is just flashed | 18:15 |
| * Sicelo doesn't use any scripts with irssi, but, Kowalczyk, are u sure irssi in the repos can't use perl? | 18:17 | |
| Kowalczyk | Sicelo: yes. | 18:17 |
| Kowalczyk | or no | 18:17 |
| DocScrutinizer | Kowalczyk: build-essentials will eat several 100 mb in / (unless you take care to install it elsewhere) - I've never seen a N900 with just as much as 100MB free space in / | 18:17 |
| Kowalczyk | Sicelo: it doesnt include /script command and /load perl gets an error | 18:17 |
| ale152 | DocScrutinizer, do you remember where is located the root of scratchbox? | 18:17 |
| DocScrutinizer | you want to install scratchbox to N900? | 18:18 |
| DocScrutinizer | :-o | 18:18 |
| ale152 | oh, found it | 18:18 |
| Kowalczyk | but is it possible to build irssi on another machine. make a .deb package and install on n900? prolly not | 18:18 |
| DocScrutinizer | ale152: scratchbox is meant for cross-compiling, no need for it on N900. On PC SB usually installs to / and eats some 5..7GB there | 18:19 |
| DocScrutinizer | Kowalczyk: that's what SB is all about | 18:19 |
| ale152 | mh? | 18:19 |
| ale152 | i don't want to install scratchbox on n900 :P | 18:19 |
| Kowalczyk | DocScrutinizer: ok. but it cant be done without SB? | 18:20 |
| ale152 | i already have it on my desktop, i just did not remember this path: /scratchbox/users/ale152/home/ale152/driver/ | 18:20 |
| DocScrutinizer | aah | 18:20 |
| DocScrutinizer | yes, pathnames in SB are a PITA | 18:20 |
| Kowalczyk | yes as it can or yes as it cant? hmm need to play with SB in slackware then | 18:21 |
| *** cyborg-one has quit IRC | 18:21 | |

| Kowalczyk | :D | 18:22 |
| DocScrutinizer | Kowalczyk: if you want to go the geek way to install a complete build environment on your N900, you can build there without SB. Not recommended though, esp for "beginners" | 18:22 |
| DocScrutinizer | installing SB on your PC linux is the recommende way to build packages for maemo | 18:23 |

| DocScrutinizer | du -sh /scratchbox -> 5,3G /scratchbox/ | 18:24 |

| DocScrutinizer | well, installation is a bit clumsy, but after it got installed, you probably learn to use it in less than 2 days ;-) | 18:25 |
| Kowalczyk | ok | 18:26 |
| Kowalczyk | time to check slackbuilds | 18:26 |
| ale152 | DocScrutinizer, kernel version of scratchbox and n900 are different, could this be a problem? | 18:26 |
| Kowalczyk | doh | 18:26 |
| Kowalczyk | no slackbuilds | 18:26 |
| DocScrutinizer | unlike installation of a build env on N900 which will possibly take a week til it works at all ;-) | 18:26 |
| Kowalczyk | :P:P | 18:26 |
| *** rd has quit IRC | 18:26 | |
| Kowalczyk | oh. I prolly have to install debian in virtualbox and get scratchbox on there? because it needs apt-get right? | 18:27 |
| DocScrutinizer | ale152: you will need kernel sources (of your currently used kernel on N900) in scratchbox, to build a new kernel module against that | 18:27 |
| ale152 | :O | 18:27 |
| ale152 | i don't think i have enough time to waste with it :P | 18:28 |
| DocScrutinizer | if you don't take care about vermagic and stuff (noob talking here), the module may compile but still won't load on your N900 | 18:28 |
| ale152 | so it would be useless? | 18:29 |

| hatake_kakashi | internetishard, that's the latest official nokia firmware yes | 21:55 |
| hatake_kakashi | internetishard, there's also CSSU which brings in more features, possibly more stability but may also bring instability elsewhere | 21:56 |
| internetishard | So there are unofficial ones? | 21:56 |
| internetishard | hatake_kakashi: what's your experience in their relative stabilities? | 21:57 |
| hatake_kakashi | CSSU is unofficial yes, its brought to you by community for community due to lack of nokia's commitment with maemo community | 21:57 |
| internetishard | sweet, so I'd guess it is already significantly improved | 21:58 |
| internetishard | for example, I'm dying to have grouping in Contacts | 21:58 |
| hatake_kakashi | internetishard, relative stability? I personally don't think there's any to say much about it :) the device if anything has to remain completely stock to be fairly stable | 21:58 |
| internetishard | On the "who is it for?" section it says "long-term: all n900 users/owners" | 21:59 |
| internetishard | Therefore, I'm guessing the aim is to make it more stable than the stock | 21:59 |
| hatake_kakashi | it has improved in fair few aspects (I don't think there's grouping in Contacts function yet) but its not a do-all, be-all fix | 21:59 |

| *** messerting has quit IRC | 22:47 | |
| DocScrutinizer | TiagoTiago: (intercept powerbutton hold) it works that way: on pressing PB a timer (8s usually) gets started, and when that timer expires the device reboots hard. Same time on PB press a IRQ is triggered and sensed by kernel, so kernel now has 8s time to intercept the watchdog timer action | 22:48 |
| *** messerting has joined #maemo | 22:49 | |
| *** ferdna has joined #maemo | 22:50 | |
| TiagoTiago | I can't replace the shutdown when the timer finishes with a custom command? | 22:50 |
| DocScrutinizer | (GUI) I bet there are some GUIs to deal with some of the settings in mce.ini, but I'm not aware of a dedicated complete GUI just for that | 22:51 |
| TiagoTiago | without worrying about the risk of an accidental shutdown? | 22:51 |
| DocScrutinizer | TiagoTiago: nope, this is hardwired for good reason | 22:51 |
| DocScrutinizer | you need to cancel that timer actively whenever the IRQ fires | 22:52 |
| TiagoTiago | The way it shuts down is safer than pulling the battery i assume | 22:52 |
| *** messerting has quit IRC | 22:54 | |
| *** rd has quit IRC | 22:56 | |
| *** Pavel has joined #maemo | 22:58 | |
| TiagoTiago | What about replacing the shutdown for the regular time, but still making it go down if i hold the button for 30 seconds, would that be possible to make without going against the safety reasons for the regular shutdown? | 22:59 |
| DocScrutinizer | it shuts down by informing kernel about power-down-pending (iirc) via IRQ, then running the power down sequence hardcoded/configured in twl4030, which in turn is switching down one VDD after the other | 23:01 |
| DocScrutinizer | TiagoTiago: you can do whatever you want as long as you make sure you receive the powerbutton-pressed IRQ and reset the timer so it doesn't trigger. I guess kernel even does that for you by default | 23:03 |
| TiagoTiago | What exactly is the safety reason for the shutdown being necessary there? To force a shutdown when the system is hanging? | 23:04 |
| *** FIQ has quit IRC | 23:06 | |
| DocScrutinizer | so the normal supposed way of a long-powerbutton-press is: kernel detects PB-IRQ, kernel winds a 1s timer, on expiry kernel resets the watchdog hw-timer in twl4030 and checks if powerbutton already got pushed for >NN seconds (say 12s), on reset of the hw wd timer twl4030 triggers the IRQ again, this starting the kernel 1s delay again -> go back to square one | 23:06 |
| DocScrutinizer | yes, exactly, it is supposed to shutdown the system when even kernel is hung up so can't act on PB press anymore | 23:07 |
| *** FIQ has joined #maemo | 23:08 | |
| DocScrutinizer | so if PB-8s doesn't shut down the system, that's because kernel still is actively servicing it and intercepts the shutdown | 23:08 |
| *** swc|666 has quit IRC | 23:08 | |
| DocScrutinizer | (on N900 twl4030 variant it's a bit more awkward, as this behaviour isn't power-on default but needs enabling from sw side :-/ ) | 23:09 |

| hatake_kakashi | was about to ask if you're familiar with ShadowJK's bq script: http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_Charge_Meter. Then I saw what the acronyms were when `cat' on the script itself. | 23:55 |
| DocScrutinizer | sorry, you lost me on the second half | 23:56 |
| DocScrutinizer | and yes, I'm familiar with it, it's based on my original draft | 23:57 |
| hatake_kakashi | I guess this strange error still persist. When I momentarily put pressure onto my 3rd N900's (rev 2101) wall charger cable (when wall charger is connected and the device is connected to that wall charger of course) the device claims it is disconnected from wall charger. As soon as I relieve that pressure the device claims it goes back to charging. The device was already fully charged prior to me putting minor pressure onto it | 23:57 |
| hatake_kakashi | ahh I meant like I was about to ask what is CSOC, RSOC, etc meant, but those were already mentioned when you view the script itself, its written as part of a comment | 23:58 |
| SpeedEvil | that's not so much an error | 23:58 |
| SpeedEvil | if you unplug the device - even for a few momnets - then it will go back to charging | 23:58 |
| SpeedEvil | Well - charging state | 23:59 |
| hatake_kakashi | by putting pressure I meant as in putting my thumb onto the microUSB connector that's connected to N900 | 23:59 |
| *** Pavel has quit IRC | 23:59 | |
| SpeedEvil | If you actually look at the output of the script - there isn't really much difference | 23:59 |
| hatake_kakashi | o.O | 23:59 |
| SpeedEvil | That indicates that you have an intermittent connector | 23:59 |
