ahollerhmm, whats going on with kernel-power? I wanted to install u-boot, that wants kernel-power-46, that seems to have disappeared and the new ones aren't available. Look like I have to do most of the needed stuff manually.06:43
Hurrianuse the new u-boot plus kernel-power v4906:46
Hurrianc/o pali06:46
aholleris there somewhere a small tutorial about that? I'm new to using u-boot on the n900 ;)06:49
LaoLang_coolkernel-power-46? what's the advantage compared with the offical one?06:50
ahollerthere are already at 49. 46 is just required for uboot-power06:50
LaoLang_coolkernel-power means power saving, or makeing n900 more powerful?06:51
ahollerhave a look at the wiki, some stuff is explained there06:52
ahollerbut it isn't for power-saving06:53
LaoLang_coolok, will search for it06:55

StyXmanis there any way to see the booting messages of N900, from the boot loader on or later, more like a computer?10:33
StyXmanthat is, I want to know why my device does not boot after doing a restore of /home via rsync10:34
_freemangordonStyXman, KP49 and framebuffer console10:34
StyXmanso without the new kernel Iń fried. reflashing is my only option?10:37
_freemangordonStyXman, that is how you can see boot messages, said nothing about reflashing10:38
StyXmanok, right. I meant, with the original kernel I can't, as as the device is not booting not even to the bootmenu, ...10:38

WizzupSo I have this kernel: 2.6.28.10-power49. I have an extra mmc card and would like to check out nemo. However, last time I tried to install u-boot I spent half a day trying to get my phone to boot again. Any suggestions as to _what_ uboot package I should install12:55
*** dos1 has joined #maemo12:57
NIN101maybe none12:59
NIN101to test it, you can load _load_ it by using the flasher.13:00
WizzupI suppose that would do for now13:00
WizzupYour rescue image worked nicely btw13:00
NIN101thx.13:00
*** M4rtinK has joined #maemo13:04
WizzupNIN101: so basically I flash the latest nemo image to my extra card, put it in, and boot it using flasher?13:08
*** blueslee has quit IRC13:08
*** Zahra has joined #maemo13:09
NIN101yes.13:09
Wizzupok13:10
NIN101at least it was possible with meego-ce, didn't try it with nemo but I assume it should work.13:11

Sicelohmm, i find this weird. when running debian via bootmenu method, udev refuses to run, saying kernel needed is 2.6.32 or higher. yet, it runs under maemo (and Easy Debian) for same kernel (kp49)19:06
NIN101the udev version you are running on debian is too new.19:07
Sicelothat's what i guessed. hmm :/19:08
* Sicelo must get a an usd card to stop using bootmenu19:10
Siceloright now i have a 12GB MyDocs & using the remaining space for Debian experiments19:12
NIN101or recompile the kernel to support booting from EMMC. but getting a sd card should be better for experiments. Then again, PK won't boot from sd without recompilation too.19:13
*** kW_ has joined #maemo19:15
trumeeStrange why KP49 is marked as stable, when it doesnt work right19:15
trumeein the thread on tmo19:15
Sicelothanks for info :) once i get sd card i'll just go u-boot way19:15
Sicelotrumee: what's wrong with it?19:16
trumeeSicelo, videos dont work out of the box19:16
*** LjL has quit IRC19:16
trumeeSicelo, and i dont have any of the special codecs install. It is plain broken.19:16
Sicelosounds like issue is on your device. mine is ok19:17
NIN101my suggestion: avoiding maemo kernel at all for experiments with other distris, as this version is getting old... and it may be isn't a good idea to take old stuff with you. Nemo's kernel should be ok.19:18
Siceloor u mean the 720 ..something video?19:18
StyXmanSicelo: and do you install packages from the original maemo on top of debian?19:19

DocScrutinizerthey can mess with *their* kernel all they want, but stay the fuck away of publicly used kernels21:08

brooklynall im familiar with is .deb's downloaded from http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pali/21:08
brooklynwhen i DL .deb's off some random .cz site i know what im getting into :)21:09
brooklynlike those FM '76-88' modules that broke my GPS21:10
DocScrutinizererr wut?21:10
DocScrutinizerwhatever, pali shouldn't intergrate each and every shit into powerkernel indiscriminately21:11
brooklynthere must be some regression-test suite that core kernel devs use21:13
brooklynperhaps in a special hacked up Xen/VBox instance21:13
StyXmanbrooklyn: it depends on if you're testing the core kernel or some hardware driver21:14
DocScrutinizerthere's two classes of kernel "patches", one is stuff like that bq27200.ko module that is strictly optional and I can opt to keep it off my system (which actually I like to do as it breaks things), the other is patches like to i2c driver to make such a broken module "work", which breaks whole kernel, can smoke up my hardware, and I got NO option to keep it out of new kernel version I might want to install21:14
StyXmanthe latter is not much virtualizabe21:14
DocScrutinizerbrooklyn: there's no such thing, as kernel is simply too complex to do automatic regression tests that would reliably reveal fuckups like the one done to I2C driver by neutering the exclusive lock of bus21:15
* StyXman cssu'd21:15
*** HRH_H_Crab has joined #maemo21:19
DocScrutinizerbrooklyn: that's probably the reason why only experienced kernel hackers should send patches "upstream" - for us "upstream" pretty much is powerkernel21:19
DocScrutinizerand fools thinking it's a nice idea to patch some hack into a working driver (here I2C) to change the API semantics so another (broken fubar) driver (here bq27200.ko) could still work - OMG I can't tell what I got ideas for those fools21:22
DocScrutinizerno way to cure this by any automated regression test21:23
brooklyni with NIN, abandon 2.6.28-maemo ASAP21:23

brooklyncyou really need to get on a proper kernel if you want to move beyond maemo21:24
DocScrutinizerbrooklyn: fine! so what do you suggest for the blobs we got on 28 to make things like DSP work?21:25
NIN101brooklyn: I never made such statement. I said you shouldn't take it with you when you want to play around with other distros. Besides that, you can't really use anything else than 2.6.28 on maemo.21:25

dhbikeri only miss the equalizer21:58
dhbikerbut ill do it soon21:58
DocScrutinizeryep, equalizer is a long missing feature21:58
dhbiker:P21:58
DocScrutinizermuch appreciated21:58
StyXmanthere's an audio player which says to have an eq. I haven't tried it...21:59
DocScrutinizeryou know about the hw parametric EQ in codec, and about boostN900 ?21:59
dhbikeri have it21:59
dhbikerits only 8 band21:59
dhbikerapp is called symfonie22:00
DocScrutinizerwell, 8 band graphic EQ seems good enough for all but studio equipment22:00
dhbikernot good enough for me :P22:01
DocScrutinizerand implementing the EQ into the mp3 decoder seems the most reasonable thing you could do22:01
dhbikeryou can also use alsa equalizer22:01
DocScrutinizerperformance and architecture wise22:01
dhbikerlike i don on the pc22:01
dhbikerdo*22:01
DocScrutinizersure, but that means you encode from frequency domain (mp3) to time domain (analog/wav/PCM), than back to frequency domain (FFT in EQ) then after some leveling on 8 or 16 ranges you again do a freq->time domain conversation22:03
dhbikertrue22:03
dhbikerwe will see how it goes22:04
dhbikerits worth trying :P22:04
DocScrutinizerit will work but sure has potentially lower quality and about 3 to 4 times the CPU load22:04
DocScrutinizerboth no showstopper but not really nice22:05
dhbikerwell then we will write or port a good media player :P22:06
fizzieALSA equalizer (at least the 'alsaequal' one) is built on time-domain IIR filters, not fft-scale-fft.22:07
DocScrutinizerI'd *love* to see EQ in mohammediaplayer, but alas it is just using mafw and mafw does the mp3 decoding and has no EQ afaik22:07
DocScrutinizerfizzie: true, but still above reasoning applies and would suggest to better do the filtering *before* mp3->time-domain22:08
