IRC log of #maemo for Saturday, 2011-11-12

rlyBut there has to be some kind of commitment to produce an actual product in the end complete with manufacturing contracts, etc.00:00
DocScrutinizeryep00:00
* SpeedEvil wishes he had a billion or so to sponsor projects with.00:00
SpeedEvilAnd to lobby.00:00
DocScrutinizerSpeedEvil: then there was dash00:01
rlyI probably also wouldn't like the legal risks, since I don't understand them.00:01
SpeedEvilPatents make the process a total minefield.00:01
rlyIt's sad that that's a consideration.00:01
*** norayr has quit IRC00:01
SpeedEvilYou should not be able to get a patent for solving a novel problem in the obvious way.00:01
rlyThere are now general problem solving methods.00:02
*** jhb has joined #maemo00:02
rlyThat is methods that will _always_ solve the given problem optimally.00:02
rlyCreativity is nothing more than a happy feeling people like to have to make them feel special.00:03
DocScrutinizereach other day I muse why patents worked in the late 19th early 20th century, but not any more00:03
*** larsivi has quit IRC00:03
rlyIt is because THE SINGULARITY IS NEAR.00:03
rlyNah, I don't know about that, but progress goes pretty fast these days.00:03
DocScrutinizerrly: some raher inspiring thoughts you toss around here00:04
rlyDocScrutinizer: that's sarcasm right? (Sheldon voice)00:05
DocScrutinizernope00:05
DocScrutinizerhonest00:05
DocScrutinizerthe problems solving method approach was inspiring to me00:05
DocScrutinizera new thought, new PoV00:06
rlyDocScrutinizer: it's not a very 'practical' approach, but it should work.00:06
rlyDocScrutinizer: do you want the paper?00:06
DocScrutinizerI promise I'll not shout at you when you drop an URL here00:06
rlyDocScrutinizer: http://www.hutter1.net/ai/pfastprg.pdf00:07
rlyDocScrutinizer: that guy wrote a book on universal AI too.00:07
rlyDocScrutinizer: and some related people improved again on that and there are some other related methods to that again.00:07
rlyDocScrutinizer: there are about 30 papers or so that you would have to read to understand the field.00:08
rlyVery interesting stuff, imho.00:08
*** larsivi has joined #maemo00:08
rlyOne of the systems allows for putting a number on the complexity of any concrete problem.00:09
rlySo, let's say you have some input 1 3 4 5445435 43323423 2312 312312 and you have to sort it.00:09
DocScrutinizergathered as much - but I'm brilliant on getting a grasp of a concept even while not completely understanding the whole system00:09
rlyNow, suppose you don't know a constructive way to sort there is still a way to sort it, but that process 'the learning' has a number of steps associated with it. You could use that as some universal measure of complexity.00:10
rlyI haven't actually read about that idea in the literature, so perhaps I should write a paper about it :P00:11
rlyI think it is a bit too trivial to publish, though.00:11
*** jhb has quit IRC00:11
rlyOTOH, the whole scientific world hangs together by simple incremental steps.00:11
DocScrutinizersure00:11
rlySome people are actually building a machine based on these principles right now.00:12
DocScrutinizeranyway, sitting here with my jacket and boots, on my way out00:12
DocScrutinizero/00:12
DocScrutinizerbbl00:13
rlyOk, bye.00:13

SpeedEvilFair enough. :)03:29
AlmightyOatmeal:)03:29
*** luke-jr has joined #maemo03:29
SpeedEvilI should have red backscroll - I thought you were asking about n900, not n810 parts.03:30
AlmightyOatmeali wouldn't mind a n900, but i sold my working n810 and i'm trying to get my other n810 with a cracked screen running03:30
SpeedEvilAh03:31
*** madalu has quit IRC03:32
AlmightyOatmeali should rephrase that, besides being scuffed it works just fine, excluding being able to see the display.. all the work i could do would have to be over ssh, kinda defeats the portablility aspect03:32

psycho_oreosa proper meego device should be using rpm packages, neither does N950 nor N9 uses rpm packages so it basically does not conform to meego standards11:58

*** trumee has quit IRC12:02
psycho_oreoslamah, there is no new proper maemo based anymore. nokia axed maemo ages ago if you haven't heard the news. They won't even care about harmattan either (which they deliberately dubbed as meego device)12:03
*** sat2050 has joined #maemo12:03
psycho_oreosin fact nokia only just recently released a security OTA update for fremantle which only fixes that digi* cert flaw12:04
lamahpsycho_oreos: yes this is the true and old n810 or whatever...12:04
lamahhmm interesting12:04
psycho_oreoslamah, afaik if they axed maemo, it doesn't matter if you have 770, N800, N810, N810 WiMax edition or even N900. The bottom line is that manufacturer no longer cares that much about maemo12:05

*** jimmy1980 has quit IRC12:05

psycho_oreosyou can put it in whatever ugly phrases you like, N900 joins the rest of the maemo devices which are literally being disowned by nokia. period12:06

ZogG_N9damn swype sent it12:09

ZogG_N9agreed12:10
*** jimmy1980 has joined #maemo12:10
ZogG_N9but who cares12:10
*** lamah has left #maemo12:10
ZogG_N9its not about that, thats about money and it is more politics than be popular =)12:11
psycho_oreosyeah for a thick headed cave dweller who didn't realise nokia is now microsoft's slut. Wise choice for him to leave too on that parting note12:11
ZogG_N9psycho_oreos, i disagree12:12
psycho_oreosZogG_N9, care to elaborate?12:12
ZogG_N9as most companie's politics shitty12:12
ZogG_N9sony is a bitch, but i still prefer ps3 over xbox12:13
*** slonopotamus has quit IRC12:14
psycho_oreosZogG_N9, I'm not concerned about internal political games. In fact I never will unless I have shares in that company. If the company is nokia I would have long ago withdrew my money when Flop came about. The bottom line is that I'm an outsider and that's all I care about. Facts are facts, its not like you simply cannot deny it when you saw it in action12:14
ZogG_N9and there is no more linux officially, they've been hacked, no respect to us, but i still buy them12:14
psycho_oreosyeah flawed logic thinking.. that statement is full of holes12:14
ZogG_N9i see, i know and understand12:15
psycho_oreoslinux is just a kernel, if its hacked its the core kernel.. but so what? it gets patched12:15
psycho_oreosHow is linux no respect to you? linux is just a kernel, it doesn't like or dislike people. This isn't facebook.12:15
ZogG_N9but not whinning about it, as i can do nothing and its always my chooise what phone to buy12:15
psycho_oreosof course, nobody can place any influence on you12:16
psycho_oreosor any one of us :P12:16
*** M4rtinK has joined #maemo12:16
ZogG_N9psycho_oreos, i was talking about ps3 than12:16
psycho_oreosZogG_N9, and that would contradict your last statement about your phone. PS3 isn't a phone :)12:17

ZogGthere are always few companies12:18
ZogGand few of them are better than others12:18
ZogGand you choose one you like and buy the phone12:18
psycho_oreosZogG, and I still fail to see how is discussion about sory related to maemo at all. Sure you can hack it to run linux but that's got nothing to do with maemo12:19
*** jonwil has joined #maemo12:19
ZogGbut they see things different sometimes but as YUO choosed them, they still don't OWAN you to go now the way you want12:19
ahollerthe future of linux on smartphone seems to be what motorola starts with atrix.12:20
ZogGit's not about linux12:21
psycho_oreosof course, nobody had to force nokia not to recruit Flop. AGAIN that is not my point. I'm not mocking over their chosen person but rather their CURRENT stance.12:21
jonwilI still think the N900 is the best cellphone ever made.12:21
jonwiland I will keep using mine as long as it can continue to make phonecalls12:22
psycho_oreosN900 isn't a phone, but many joe blo assumes just because N900 has phone functionality its been rationalised as a smartphone despite its usual lacking features of what a smartphone is meant to be.12:22
SpeedEvilI'd say the nokia 3310 is arguably better.12:22
jonwilwhat features is it missing?12:23

jonwilI like the N900 because it does all things I need in a cellphone12:26
psycho_oreosSo if other smartphones has it, they're not called smartphones but smartphones with MMS and portrait mode? :)12:26
jonwiloriginal iPhone didnt have MMS12:26
psycho_oreosI like N900 because it has a proper linux environment with a portion of phone's functionality12:26
jonwiland no-one would deny that's a phone12:27
psycho_oreosbut iPhone has the words phone written in it :)12:27
psycho_oreosyet it still does native portrait mode12:27
jonwilits all semantics IMO, what matters is not what its labeled, its whether it has the features you need12:28
*** zz_gri is now known as gri12:28
*** jhb has joined #maemo12:29
psycho_oreosUnfortunately the reality is different, most smartphones seem to have common traits. Sure its not like you don't use it and therefore its not something that it can't be counted as one. Contrary to that the missing functionality is weird to not have it is it not?12:30
jonwilI like the N900 because its the closest thing yet invented to a linux system in your pocket\12:31
jonwilthat also does SMS, calls and 3G data12:32
psycho_oreosand you could really go into discussing about that modded N810 that could almost function as a smartphone. Surely that N810 cannot be called a smartphone now that it has a SIM slot? :)12:32
jonwilno the N810 wont count because the hardware was added later. Just like you cant call a laptop a "mobile device" just because you use a 3G USB dongle with it12:32

Jartza"mobile device" does not have to have a connectivity12:34
psycho_oreosLaoLang_cool, the point is why would you want to? If you have a really huge photo (like 4000x4000 pixels) which obviously N900 cannot show it all in that small screen, you must still have it all viewed somehow?12:35

ShadowJKit probably never reaches oom situation, things slow down too much before that16:29

DocScrutinizernot last time I tried suspend to disk though16:31
DocScrutinizernorayr: yes16:33
norayrthanks16:34
DocScrutinizernorayr: the drivers are shared between *all* cam/video apps - that's why all cam related apps break when you update kernel16:34
DocScrutinizerdrivers never get unloaded AFAIK16:35
DocScrutinizernorayr: see backscroll some 60 min, we had that topic recently16:35
DocScrutinizer(though I have to confess I never wrapped my head around it why updating (to) PK doesn't install the right camera kernel modules right away, and how T F fcam et all "install" kernel drivers, and even the right ones for the kernel you are using)16:38
DocScrutinizerit feels kinda insane to ship a kernel module in a userland package called e.g fcam16:39
DocScrutinizerwell, who knows with what a crap I would've come up when hostmode patches could have gone to *.ko rather than the core kernel16:41

nealDocScrutinizer: Do you know the maximum throughput that the micro sd controller can handle?  I have a class 10 card.  On my think pad, I can write to it between 10-12MB/s.  On my n900, I get just 4-5 MB/s.18:11
DocScrutinizersorry, no data on that available off top of my head18:12
DocScrutinizerneal: I think the clock speed negotiated with the card is a limiting factor18:13
*** FIQ|znc is now known as FIQ18:13
nealThe depressing part is I get 5-6 MB/s using the internal flash.18:14
DocScrutinizerwhat in turn will determine the the clock speed when controller negotiates with card is a complex topic18:14

ShadowJKI've seen far over 10megabytes/sec from the internal mmc, reads18:16
nealShadowJK: I was only considering writes.18:16
ShadowJKecho 8192 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/nr_requests          and mmcblk1 speeds up things a bit for me18:17
* DocScrutinizer idly ponders if it was a nice concept and what it would need to make " echo 8192 > /sys/block/mmcblk*/queue/nr_requests" syntax work18:19
DocScrutinizerneal: generally on write to MMC there are other bottlenecks than exactly the controller that limit the throughput18:21

nealDocScrutinizer: On my thinkpad I get about twice the write throughput18:22
*** Andy80 has quit IRC18:22
DocScrutinizerit basically boild down to the fact that writes to mmc can vary in time they take by a factor of 10^4 to 10^6 (estimated), depending on things like sequence of particular writes etc18:23
DocScrutinizerso it's not the hw that limits the write bandwidth, it's basically entirely related to io scheduler and the logic used therein18:24
*** trx has quit IRC18:24
DocScrutinizerand how well that logic matches your particular usecase as well as the actualy hw found *inside* the MMC18:25
*** jimmy1980 has joined #maemo18:26

*** ZogG has quit IRC18:26
nealUse the same benchmark, I get different performance when the card is in my n900 and in my thinkpad18:27
DocScrutinizera page erase can take in the range of dozens of ms, and it makes a hell of a difference if it has to be done for each byte written, or once every 256kB18:27
nealmy block size was 1 MB18:27

nealand that is only with your buffer size change?18:34
ShadowJKyes18:35
nealShadowJK: Did you sync?18:36
ShadowJKI have ext3 on mmc1, which is nonoptimal for write throughput. It peaks at 10Megabytes/sec until it comes time to update the journal and metadata, which consists of a few small writes, and that's slow, so speed drops to 1 Megabyte/s when it's doing that18:36
nealI did: time sh -c '/usr/bin/gnu/dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/mmc1/foo  count=1k bs=1M; sync'18:37
dangergrrli have a pc with no wifi, running gentoo, where i am at i have no cell service, can i use the n900 as a wifi adapter until i go buy one?18:38

ShadowJKneal, average speed including ext3 braindeadedness and sync 5.2Mbytes/sec18:42
dangergrrli think i saw a doc on using the usb networking to tether to gsm, in theory the same would work for wlan018:42
DocScrutinizerthen follow instructions to share LAN internet of PC to N900 (buzzword ip forwarding), just apply the commands meant for PC to your N900 instead18:42

nealShadowJK: But I want reliability :)18:43
* ShadowJK uses LogFS on his sheevaplug's usb flash18:43
mgedminto share a Wifi connection you need either NAT (which the standard kernel doesn't have), or a poor man's solution like the built-in SSH SOCKS proxy18:44
*** zap has quit IRC18:44
*** zap has joined #maemo18:44
DocScrutinizerssh socks porixy, good call18:45
dangergrrlbut there are something like 5 ways to do gsm tethering, one seemed similar enough, the modem one makes the n900 unable to use it's own net18:45
ShadowJKthat's operator-dependent18:45
DocScrutinizergangyes, and modem approach isn't applicable to AP18:46
DocScrutinizerdangergrrl: ^^^18:46

PBeck?22:50
jrayhawkdangergrrl: http://www.aptalaska.net/~jclive/IPTablesFlowChart.pdf first make sure you have this22:50
PBeckmgedmin: oh it has worked22:50
mgedmingood22:51
PBeckmgedmin: you are a hero :) apt-get --reinstall install posix-locales was the right command22:51
PBeckmgedmin: so a big thank you for the tipp with posix-locales22:51
mgedminI've no idea how it could've broken22:52
PBeckmgedmin: at the forum all people solved the problem with flashing - but that would be crazy, so it was a good idea to come to the maemo channel :)22:52
mgedminflashing is a good solution because it'll almost always work22:53
PBeckmgedmin: perhaps mscim has broken it - was support for chinese language, dont know22:53
mgedminhm22:54
PBeckmgedmin: yeah of course. But thats normally a easy problem, when a package is broken and we know that the file locales-archive is broken22:54
mgedminI'd need to look at its postinst scripts to find out22:54
PBeckmgedmin: now i have learned that i can search with dpkg -S for a package thats contains a specific file :)22:56

rlyI get a usb0-n900 device and a n900 device. How can I just get one device created? It also seems that the names are different too each time.23:07
*** bash` has joined #maemo23:08
*** bash` has joined #maemo23:08
*** dangergrrl has quit IRC23:08
rlySo, one time the HWAddr of usb0-n900 is some non-zero number and the other time it is the n900 device which has that.23:09
psycho_oreos1) udev, 2) modinfo g_info23:10
psycho_oreospoint 2 is somewhat discussed in USB networking23:10
rlypsycho_oreos:  ERROR: modinfo: could not find module g_info23:11
psycho_oreosrly, hint: on N90023:12
rlypsycho_oreos: modinfo: could not find module g_info23:13
rlypsycho_oreos: that's on the phone as root.23:13
psycho_oreosrly, my bad g_nokia23:13
rlypsycho_oreos: I get output, but nothing I recognize that might be of value.23:14
rlyI have some udev rule, which triggers when I connect the device.23:14
rlyThat runs a script.23:15
*** piggz has quit IRC23:15
rlypsycho_oreos: basically: if $(ifconfig n900 192.168.3.14 && ifconfig n900 up); then echo "We connected n900" >> $HOME/somefile etc.23:15
psycho_oreosrly, again, point 2 of what I stated is in the USB networking wiki. If you look for that g_nokia you will see how it is to be used. As for udev, you probably need to rename interfaces, etc23:16
rlypsycho_oreos: it runs that in an ethernal loop.23:16
rlyeternal*23:16
DocScrutinizerPBeck: yes23:16
rlyAnd.. it actually succeeds, but I don't see how it only works if I disconnect and connect the phone two times.23:16
rlyIt doesn't work the first time.23:16
rlyI.e. the n900 HWAddress address stays some 000.23:17
rlySo, the host interface named n900, not anything on the phone.23:17
psycho_oreosit is not the host that needs to change the MAC address as per se for USB networking, its more like the device that needs the interface assigned to a MAC address at boot.23:18
PBeckDocScrutinizer: :)23:18
PBeckstefan raab springt auch nur zum spaß :P23:19
rlypsycho_oreos: I can't really convert that into something I could try.23:19
PBeckupps wrong windows :)23:20
*** dos1 has joined #maemo23:20
psycho_oreosrly, I guess its time for you to consult the modinfo manpages. Also the modprobe manpages23:20
rlypsycho_oreos: I already have ethernet over usb working, it's just the device name which seems to change.23:21
rlypsycho_oreos: so, for the usbnet driver?23:21
rlypsycho_oreos: modinfo usbnet also doesn't tell my anything I want to know.23:22
psycho_oreosI'm fairly certain udev cannot assign MAC addresses, so the only way to make it work is for the endpoint to assign MAC address itself which therefore is N900 itself23:22
psycho_oreosrly, you're now throwing yourself off on a tangent when I told you what you need to do23:22
DocScrutinizerthere's been some BS brainf*cked function in standard linux to assign random MAC addr to USB ethernet devices23:22
DocScrutinizeror sth like that23:22
rlypsycho_oreos: it already is assigning mac addresses if I put it in twice.23:23
psycho_oreosat least the good thing is that you can fix the MAC address with g_nokia kernel module23:23
*** zk8 has quit IRC23:23
rlypsycho_oreos: so your theory that we need the g_nokia kernel module is not true.23:23
psycho_oreosrly, again continuing off on a tangent23:23
rlypsycho_oreos: it might be that it could make things more predictable, which might have use, but it isn't an established fact.23:23
psycho_oreosrly, it needs to be specified and maybe a reboot is necessary23:24
rlypsycho_oreos: reboots of neither device were needed.23:24
jacekowskiDocScrutinizer: kinda23:24
psycho_oreosrly, keep pondering then, I have my two N900 working through USB networking perfectly with set MAC addresses23:24
jacekowskiDocScrutinizer: you can tell it to use specific mac address23:24
rlypsycho_oreos: because again, I already have the n900 working with ethernet over usb.23:24
rlypsycho_oreos: it is just that in one major case, it doesn't.23:24
psycho_oreosrly, just because you did it with ethernet it does not mean that its anything particularly special. If the MAC address is bound to change then it still is the module.23:25
rlypsycho_oreos: once it has a mac address it has always worked, so I don't see that as a problem.23:26
psycho_oreosrly, its ok, keep throwing yourself off the tangent, I've pointed out the cause.. and its also stated in the USB networking wiki but you're just not willing to accept the truth23:26
rlypsycho_oreos: you have not provided information that is consistent with the data.23:26
rlyOr rather, you seem to ignore my observations.23:26
rlyI believe that your setup works, though.23:27
*** NIN102 has joined #maemo23:27
rlyIt doesn't mean that your setup is the only possible way in which it can work.23:27
psycho_oreosrly, It has to set itself a MAC address, but most of the time the MAC address is randomised23:27
psycho_oreosrly, I have provided clues but you have not bothered to listen23:27
psycho_oreosok so go experiment then23:28
rlypsycho_oreos: can you then perhaps explain it more clearly?23:28
rlyWhat is 'it' for example?23:28
*** NIN101 has quit IRC23:28
psycho_oreosrly, no I'm not going to repeat myself. There's already information stated at least twice throughout this simple trivial issue23:28
psycho_oreosIf a device does not have a MAC address it basically cannot communicate on the network, period23:29
rlypsycho_oreos: that part is clear.23:30
rlyWhat is not clear is how the N900 is possibly going to set a mac address on the host.23:30
rlyThat just doesn't make sense.23:30
psycho_oreosrly, and that isn't news that every networked device has to have a MAC address.23:31
rlypsycho_oreos: no, that's not news.23:31
psycho_oreosI never stated N900 is changing the MAC addreess on the host.23:31
*** nox- has joined #maemo23:32
psycho_oreosrly, oh so you now realise23:32
rlypsycho_oreos: I realise nothing, but you might be 'right'.23:32
rlyI don't care about who is right or wrong. I just want to solve this issue.23:33
rlyThe issue being that sometimes the usb0-n900 device gets the mac address and sometimes it is the n900 device.23:33
psycho_oreosrly, I'm not debating on right and wrong. I'm merely stating the facts23:33
rlypsycho_oreos: ok, well, I am not realizing anything. That's also a fact.23:33
rlypsycho_oreos: can you give a specific hint?23:34
psycho_oreosrly, despite the clues that has been laid out before hand23:34
psycho_oreosrly, 1) man udev, 2) man modinfo, 3) man modprobe23:34
rlypsycho_oreos: perhaps my problem is entirely different from what you believe; that wouldn't be the first time someone has send me into the woods.23:34
rlyI could try to tell udev to never create a usb0-n900 device.23:35
psycho_oreosrly, if you believe that is the case, you're free to ask others and get their opinions23:35
psycho_oreosand that is still not the point23:35
rlyBut I don't even know whether I can even stop that from happening.23:36
rlyWell, it seems that the system randomly picks usb0-n900 or n900.23:36
rlySo, if usb0-n900 doesn't exist, the problem doesn't exist.23:36
rlyI didn't design these crappy interfaces.23:36
* psycho_oreos gives up and focuses on some more useful work23:36
rlyThanks for not helping me then.23:36

rlyIt also says that is confuses Mac OS X, not whether Linux is also affected.23:44

psycho_oreoss/minutes/minutes ago/23:44
infobotpsycho_oreos meant: rly, at least 5 minutes ago after I provided the initial hint23:44
psycho_oreosThat isn't the point23:44
psycho_oreosjust because its stated for Mac, it doesn't mean linux/windows is immune23:44
rlyI still don't know why it would be relevant.23:44
rlyI expect udev to work regardless of what MAC address it has to connect to.23:45
rlyYes, and I know that udev isn't connecting to anything.23:45
Macerok. can't take it anymore. i need to install just 1 hard drive in this thing to see what it can do :)23:46
*** vblazquez has joined #maemo23:47
rlypsycho_oreos: ok, so now I see that your command results in the host to see the specified fixed mac address.23:48
rlypsycho_oreos: it named ith eth1-n900.23:48
*** valerius has quit IRC23:48
rlyit*23:48
rlyNow, as to why it gave that particular name? No idea.23:49
*** valerius has joined #maemo23:49
rlyI want to set a fixed name such that it is always the same name for the same device.23:49
rlySo, something like mybeautifulphone, instead of eth1-n900 or eth0-n900, etc.23:50

DocScrutinizermake the MAC addr of all devices the same23:58
