DocScrutinizer05 | ShadowJK: dang, if only I mentioned the LiIon batteries in that shelf that burnt down and almost took me with it | 00:19 |
ShadowJK | I briefly wondered why the flashlight people seem to get more bodily harm from Li batteries than RC people, but then realized that when the RC model airplane/heli or whatever explodes, it's not usually in the same room as the user :P | 00:21 |
vi__ | ShadowJK: or in their pocket. | 00:21 |
Woody14619 | Yikes... | 00:21 |
vi__ | I believe chem|st has an amusing story concerning exploding batteries... | 00:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I'm just happy there were ~80 shells 9mm in that shelf, so this was probably what awakened me | 00:22 |

DocScrutinizer05 | while charging in N900 is safe due to hw safety measures, it is NO good idea to alien charge LiIon cells with any random power source you happen to find somewhere | 00:31 |

* DocScrutinizer05 just wonders how they managed Z-axis rotation with a tricopter | 00:39 | |
ShadowJK | the rear rotor is servo mounted and can tilt left/right | 00:40 |
DocScrutinizer05 | or are those rotors swivel-mounted | 00:40 |
DocScrutinizer05 | :nod: | 00:40 |
*** beford has quit IRC | 00:41 | |
ShadowJK | They're supposedly easier to control than quad | 00:41 |
DocScrutinizer05 | hm? | 00:42 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I'd guess the electronics won't bother if it's tri or quad ;-D | 00:42 |
ShadowJK | For tri you might get away with gyro stabilization, but for quad I think you need a full mcu | 00:44 |
DocScrutinizer05 | stupid mech gyro stabi? | 00:44 |
*** FIQ has quit IRC | 00:45 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | I'd rather write a PID in assembler ;-) | 00:45 |
ShadowJK | In RC world, "gyro" is essentially a unit, that has servo control data input, and output. It can do "attitude hold" or "rate hold" on one axis, and can affect a single servo (or speed control) output to do that | 00:46 |
ShadowJK | I think with quadcopter you need to do more "mixing" of control outputs to achieve desired goal? | 00:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sure | 00:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | nothing a raspi couldn't do ;-D | 00:47 |
ShadowJK | tricopter can have pitch controlled by rear rotor speed, yaw controlled by rear rotor tilt, and roll by forward rotors | 00:47 |
ShadowJK | The popular controllers are "arduino based" ;-) | 00:48 |
ShadowJK | "Atmega48/88/168/328 (DIL28)" | 00:48 |

ShadowJK | It's nice for people who only ever solder 100Amp battery plugs | 00:50 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I'm pondering since 15 minutes about my old weird idea of a 2stroke-powered generator instead of batteries, for those quads | 00:52 |
*** FIQ has joined #maemo | 00:52 | |
ShadowJK | It's useful for longevity | 00:53 |
DocScrutinizer05 | energy density of castor oil > LiIon | 00:53 |
ShadowJK | I don't know about quads, but on "normal" RC helis, you can get about 20-30 minutes on electric while carrying camera platform and equipment for realtime downlink of videostream | 00:53 |
DocScrutinizer05 | recharging possible while flying | 00:54 |
ShadowJK | With extra fuel tanks and such, nitro powered "normal" RC helis can get close to an hour of flight time, but the smoke and vibrations are annoying | 00:55 |

DocScrutinizer05 | yeah, such a turbine monster spinning at 50,000/min and eating like a liter/min of gasoline is no less scary than LiIon going mad | 01:00 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I wonder how they transmit the turbine power to the rotor | 01:01 |
trx | well, with pressure? | 01:03 |
DocScrutinizer05 | or with difficulaty | 01:04 |
ShadowJK | There's this thing that starts spinning immediately, but the main gear and autorotation gears on the main rotor shaft seem to not move at all at first!? | 01:04 |

iluminator105 | where can i get a n950? | 01:11 |
ShadowJK | The ones existing in the wild are "loaned" from Nokia. I heard someone sold their loaned device on ebay for like $2,500 though? | 01:11 |
iluminator105 | if its that much i will thake a pass i was hopin maybe around 250 range | 01:12 |
iluminator105 | take* | 01:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ShadowJK: not all are loaners | 01:12 |
ShadowJK | The phone was never released | 01:12 |
ShadowJK | And it was never sold | 01:12 |
ShadowJK | If it had been, it would probably had same, or slightly higher, price range as the N9 | 01:13 |
DocScrutinizer05 | err, it _was_ sold afaik, on commercial DDP | 01:13 |
ShadowJK | oh | 01:13 |
ShadowJK | Yeah but not to general public :P | 01:13 |
iluminator105 | what does ddp stand for | 01:13 |
ShadowJK | developer device program, presumably | 01:13 |
DocScrutinizer05 | 6 months resale clause | 01:13 |
ShadowJK | Anyway as it stands, they're pretty damn rare and that's why the one on ebay went for so much | 01:14 |
iluminator105 | i dont know why nokia makes great products and not release it to people | 01:14 |
ShadowJK | I heard they break pretty easily | 01:14 |
DocScrutinizer05 | here ddp == launchpad (or was it actually launcpad?) | 01:14 |
ShadowJK | But yeah I agree, a qwerty hw keyboard N9? I'd pay money for that | 01:15 |

Pucho | hello I just got my N900 but I need help please. | 03:28 |
ShadowJK | people asleep, not mindreaders | 03:29 |
Pucho | How do I get to command line Interface and be root? Beacuse when trying to install anything in my mobile n900 it always showing an error message unable to install!! | 03:30 |
RiD | Pucho: new purchaser? | 03:31 |
RiD | s/purchaser/purchase | 03:31 |
RiD | fu | 03:31 |
RiD | s/purchaser/purchase/ | 03:31 |
Pucho | I purchase my N900 used from ebay. | 03:31 |
RiD | ah well i'm dumb today | 03:31 |
RiD | I see. well, did you flash it first? | 03:32 |
ShadowJK | On an otherwise functional N900; Command line interface: X-terminal is preinstalled. Root: install rootsh from application manager, then type "root" in x-terminal | 03:32 |
RiD | or was it already flashed? | 03:32 |
Pucho | There is an app called x terminal, can I just type SUDO to become root? | 03:32 |
ShadowJK | If the previous owner has messed it up, no idea :) | 03:32 |
ShadowJK | No it needs the "rootsh" app | 03:32 |
Pucho | I never flashed this device, I just started using it out of the box | 03:32 |
ShadowJK | atleast I think it was called rootsh | 03:33 |
Pucho | what is rootsh, sorry I am new | 03:33 |
RiD | ok. if it has leftovers i recommend you to flash | 03:33 |
ShadowJK | yep, it is "rootsh" | 03:33 |
Pucho | The unit was working fine after I received it, but now it cannot install or update apps | 03:33 |
RiD | you want to use the commandline and dont know what is root? | 03:33 |
RiD | nvm i read it wrong* | 03:34 |
ShadowJK | rootsh gives you "sudo gainroot", to get root privs but user environment (similar as "su"), and "root", which gives you root privs root env (similar to "su -") | 03:34 |
Pucho | After receiving the unit, I installed many apps just to test the n900 | 03:34 |
ShadowJK | Probably either the emmc, /home or / are full or corrupt, my guess | 03:34 |
RiD | lol | 03:34 |
RiD | with extras-devel on? | 03:35 |
Pucho | when rootsh is typed in CLI, the response is -sh rootsh: not found | 03:35 |
ShadowJK | You don't have "rootsh" installed then. | 03:35 |
Pucho | I did not install anything from extras-devel repository, only from install apps manager on the N900 itself | 03:35 |
*** regawyte has joined #maemo | 03:36 | |
RiD | yes, but the app manager may have the extras devel catalog on | 03:37 |
RiD | check under catalogs | 03:37 |
Pucho | App mgr catalogs are: nokia apps, Nokia Sys Software Update, Ovi and maemo.org | 03:38 |
ShadowJK | Either way, I would not waste time trying to repair software problems the previous onwer has caused | 03:39 |
Pucho | Maemo.org repo URL is repository.maemo.org/extras | 03:39 |
ShadowJK | Of course the other possibility is that the hw is damaged in some areas | 03:41 |
*** Hoolxi has quit IRC | 03:41 | |

*** mardi has joined #maemo | 03:42 | |
ShadowJK | Most common issues are broken usb port, second most common is dead/dying/malfunctioning modem | 03:42 |
ShadowJK | so it's not common | 03:42 |

Pucho | What is default root password on n900? I am trying to run sudo command on n900 | 03:45 |
ShadowJK | There is no root password | 03:45 |
ShadowJK | Though when you install openssh-server, you get asked to create a root password. Other than that, root (and user) password doesn't exist | 03:46 |
Pucho | Thank U. every time the following cmmd is run: "sudo dpkg --configure -a", the console asks for password | 03:47 |
RiD | ShadowJK: that made my cry | 03:47 |
ShadowJK | The default sudo config gives user 0 permissions, pretty much :) | 03:47 |
Pucho | using terminal how can the user become root? | 03:48 |
Pucho | I mean become superuser | 03:48 |
RiD | sudo gainroot | 03:48 |
ShadowJK | Without ever using app manager? No ways | 03:48 |
Pucho | what do you mean? Plz explain. App Mgr is not working correctly. It says no apps are installed. | 03:49 |
Pucho | When "sudo gainroot" is run, the response is "Enable RD mode if U want 2 break Ur device. | 03:50 |
ShadowJK | I mean what I said. The path to become root: Start app manager, install rootsh, start xterminal, type "root" in xterminal | 03:50 |
Pucho | Thank U. Unfortunately App Mgr cannot install anything. I am trying to get App Mrg working again. There were some helpful posts in Maemo forum but they require root access. | 03:51 |
ShadowJK | If previous owner has broken stuff, then reflash. | 03:51 |
Pucho | ok | 03:52 |
ShadowJK | without root you can probably still access 'dmesg' to check for serious problems | 03:52 |
ShadowJK | and df -h to check free space | 03:52 |
zeq | sounds like full rootfs | 03:52 |
ShadowJK | could be | 03:53 |
zeq | cssu-thumb would help ;) | 03:53 |
ShadowJK | zeq: I bet it will take 4 hours to get him to paste output of df -h, though | 03:53 |
ShadowJK | zeq: not without reflash first, surely? :) | 03:54 |
* ShadowJK goes sleep | 03:54 | |
zeq | probably not. app manager really could do with a recovery option... | 03:54 |
Pucho | rootfs usage is 64% | 03:54 |
ShadowJK | App repository could really do with a optification check. :) | 03:55 |
zeq | Pucho: without root, you're probably not going to be able to fix it, so your only recourse is probably reflashing | 03:55 |
ShadowJK | /home ? | 03:55 |
ShadowJK | yeah agreed | 03:55 |
ShadowJK | Also it's just sensible to start from clean install when you get secondhand n900 | 03:56 |
RiD | ^ | 03:56 |
zeq | I'm off to sleep myself now too... | 03:56 |
Pucho | ok | 03:56 |

* ShadowJK makes second attempt at stop irc and begin sleep.. curse this n900, irc in bed is evil | 03:57 | |

trumee | is it possible to find out how much warranty is left on my N900? | 11:38 |
trumee | i have lost the proof of purchase :( | 11:38 |
*** valerius has joined #maemo | 11:43 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | then it's getting difficult | 11:46 |
zeq | trumee: unless you're prepared for a battle (to get a replacement or more likely demand a refund) the warranty is pretty worthless. Nokia doesn't care about N900 customers. :( That said, I've never needed proof of purchase at a Nokia Care Centre, as long as your phone isn't reported stolen you should be okay. | 11:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Nokia has a webpage to check based on serial#, but I doubt that is accurate for devices sold late | 11:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | also what zeq said | 11:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | trumee: generally I think there's nokia warranty and there's legal warranty. Both are unrelated. You claim your legal warranty at your shop/seller, based on whatever the laws in your country. Independently Nokia offered a 2(?) year manufacturer guarantee, which is basically void by now I'd say | 11:50 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sellers tend to send their customers to manufacturer for claiming warranty. They MUSTN'T | 11:52 |
jon_y | btw, anybody know where the sdcard automounter script is located at? | 11:52 |

jon_y | how is it related to cssu? | 11:52 |
jon_y | iirc atm it wants vfat and only vfat mmc1 | 11:53 |
DocScrutinizer05 | well, CSSU has a vastly improved "automounter" | 11:53 |
DocScrutinizer05 | that mounts wirtually *all* | 11:53 |
jon_y | I have cssu enabled, how do I find out if the cssu automounter is working? | 11:53 |
jon_y | ah, I see my alternate easy debian partition | 11:54 |
trumee | zeq: is it expensive to replace the usb port at Nokia Care centre? | 11:54 |
jon_y | looks like its already working | 11:54 |
jon_y | DocScrutinizer05: thanks so much for working on cssu | 11:55 |
DocScrutinizer05 | :-) | 11:55 |
zeq | trumee: that's something they won't do. There are people who will, or you can DIY | 11:55 |

DocScrutinizer05 | jon_y: sounds like a flaw in tracker conf. We might need to address it in CSSU | 11:58 |
jon_y | well, iirc there is a built in list of places to track already | 11:58 |
DocScrutinizer05 | jon_y: but you can tweak tracker settings easily yourself | 11:58 |

jon_y | I will do that, thanks | 11:59 |
vi_ | jon_y: It makes changing tracker ignore folders etc nice and easy | 11:59 |
DocScrutinizer05 | you already got cssu, iirc it also has a fixed trackerd which actually _obeys_ the blacklists ;-) | 11:59 |
DocScrutinizer05 | stock trackerd has a bug there | 12:00 |
jon_y | I was wondering why an extra entry showed up in the file browser util after a cssu update :) | 12:00 |

DocScrutinizer05 | kerio: then connect the Y-cable to N900 *after* you've hit "VBoost" | 12:30 |
jonwil | although I think you were actually thinking of osso-startup-wizard as the one that runs the first time you power up the phone :) | 12:30 |
jonwil | Anyone know who has been doing work on alternate kernels for Maemo5 and/or on improving the WiFi driver? | 12:31 |

vi_ | ? | 12:40 |
DocScrutinizer05 | jonwil: alternative kernels: mainly Kernel-Power, now pali's domain. WiFi drivers: lxp? | 12:42 |

jon_y | jonwil: the only possibly modified wifi driver I've seen is in kernel power, that packet injection driver | 13:27 |
*** andre__ has joined #maemo | 13:27 | |
Hurrian | technically it's not in kernel-power, it's an out of tree module | 13:28 |
Hurrian | iirc powersave is the blocker for merging | 13:28 |
*** valdyn has joined #maemo | 13:30 | |

*** eMHa_ has joined #maemo | 13:48 | |
jonwil | ok | 13:48 |
freemangordon | it needs charging support (the new driver in kp51) and temp reading (in libbmeipc) | 13:48 |
jonwil | ok, well I cant help with the charging bit | 13:48 |
jonwil | or the temprature bit | 13:49 |
jonwil | so I cant really help | 13:49 |
freemangordon | jonwil: you can, it just needs reading from sysfs, the driver handles all the other stuff | 13:50 |
freemangordon | AFAIK | 13:50 |
jonwil | Might go back into the maw that is the connectivity UI layer :) | 13:50 |
jonwil | i.e. widgets, control panels etc | 13:50 |
freemangordon | aah, where is Pali :( | 13:50 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: kernel charger driver handles all the stuff needed for charging, ain't? | 13:51 |
jonwil | yeah I wanna talk to pali too :P | 13:51 |
freemangordon | so userland only reads the current status and reports it through hal/dbus? | 13:51 |
jonwil | I think I might consider doing further work on my wlan priority stuff | 13:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | freemangordon: basically yes | 13:54 |
zeq | freemangordon: yes. I've built linaro-4.6-2012.7 and linaro-4.7-2012.7. The 4.6 toolchain sucessfully builds qt, 4.7 is still broken, but the gcc bug report now has it narrowed down to a single commit. | 13:54 |

jiero | I have problem of the portrait mode, it don't work on my N900 | 13:57 |
freemangordon | jonwil: ok :) | 13:58 |
vi_ | jiero: thats because the n900 is a landscape device. | 13:58 |
freemangordon | zeq: and why is that? | 13:58 |
freemangordon | and WTF webrtc is? | 13:59 |
zeq | freemangordon: they've enabled webrtc by default, whereas it was disabled previously. | 13:59 |
*** jiero has quit IRC | 13:59 | |
freemangordon | ~webrtc | 13:59 |
zeq | it just hasn't been ported yet | 13:59 |
*** jiero has joined #maemo | 13:59 | |
zeq | it's a real-time communications layer. like SIP over the web. | 13:59 |
kerio | jiero: because 1) portrait sucks | 13:59 |
jiero | vi_ I used portrait mode after instatlled CSSU . but.now it is lost, | 13:59 |
freemangordon | zeq: ok | 14:00 |
jiero | kerio: so it was removed? | 14:00 |
kerio | no, it's still there | 14:00 |
kerio | you have to enable it in transitions.ini | 14:00 |
jiero | ok | 14:00 |

jonwil | just wish more people had knowledge of/interest in icd | 14:01 |
kerio | jonwil: mostly people just want icd to go away, i think | 14:02 |
* freemangordon feels in the same way re BME :) | 14:02 | |
jonwil | ok, so what exactly are the end-user benefits of replacing BME anyway? | 14:02 |
kerio | jonwil: easier USB hostmode | 14:03 |
jonwil | i.e. why do it other than "because we can" or "because its open" | 14:03 |
jonwil | ok | 14:03 |
kerio | if you don't rely on BME for battery indicator, you can get one while doing freaky stuff that make USB engineers cry in their sleep | 14:03 |
freemangordon | correct capacity measurement | 14:03 |
kerio | *a working one | 14:03 |
kerio | freemangordon: "correct", you mean | 14:03 |
freemangordon | I mean "the real values" | 14:04 |
*** jiero has quit IRC | 14:04 | |
kerio | so yeah, fuck bme | 14:04 |
vi_ | jonwil: bme spams the i2c bus and does not use it properly. | 14:05 |
vi_ | jonwil: It is a total kludge of a program. | 14:05 |
*** maybeArgh has joined #maemo | 14:05 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | wellll | 14:06 |
DocScrutinizer05 | bme IS an abomination | 14:06 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but it's not correct to say it spams the i2c-bus and does not use it properly | 14:07 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it's rather like i2c device in itself has some compatibiltiy issues by design, when it comes to kernel modules like bq27x00 | 14:08 |
*** maybeWTF has quit IRC | 14:08 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | and bme is using i2c device | 14:09 |
DocScrutinizer05 | since there never been stock kernel modzles for bq27200 and bq24150 | 14:09 |
jonwil | as for getting rid of icd, it should be possible IF people wanted to put some effort into it. Firstly one would need to start by replacing the WiFi bits using e.g. icd-network-wpa and the info I posted and stuff. Then one would need to replace the other plugins (i.e. GPRS plugin) then after that one can replace ICD2 itself. Biggest issue is dealing with osso-wlan-security :) | 14:09 |

kerio | or just update it | 14:14 |
kerio | there's been plenty of gecko versions | 14:14 |
vi_ | freemangordon: You mentioned you have compiled microb-engine for thumb2. | 14:15 |
jonwil | biggest issue with replacing gecko is breaking flash, maps and stuff | 14:15 |
*** TabletEvil has quit IRC | 14:15 | |
jonwil | i.e. if you use a newer gecko you need to make sure its still ABI compatible | 14:15 |
vi_ | if I apt-get it, will that pull ALL the dependencies or will I still have to copy libc++ or somthing to the appropriate place? | 14:15 |
vi_ | kerio: That is not the point. I do not need the whole gecko engine sitting in RAM on the offchance I might want to read my txt messages. | 14:16 |
freemangordon | vi_: and it is in thumb repo, latest cssu-thumb update includes it | 14:20 |
freemangordon | vi_: everything is in place | 14:20 |

vi_ | ? | 15:35 |
vi_ | Damn hurrian. | 15:35 |
kerio | yeah, something like that | 15:35 |
kerio | sequential write is kinda useless for swap | 15:35 |
Hurrian | get a sandisk? | 15:35 |
vi_ | I was hovering above the 'AWOOOOOOOOGAA! General ignorance detected' Alarm button. | 15:35 |
luf | With eds I did: tar xzf evolution-data-server_1.4.2.1-20100623+0m5.tar.gz; cd evolution-data-server_1.4.2.1; dpkg-buildpackage | 15:36 |
vi_ | kerio: Hurrian is correct. A sandisk 'class 4' will beat the shit out of pretty much all so called 'class 10' uSD cards. | 15:36 |
luf | Then I install on the N900 .deb packages and shudown/boot it up. After that Calendar occasionaly fall down with signal 11. | 15:37 |
luf | Any idea what should be wrong? | 15:37 |
vi_ | basically the whole 'class' thing is irrelevent. | 15:38 |
Hurrian | luf, ask cssu team for tips on packaging for fremantle | 15:38 |
Hurrian | also, you may have left -mthumb on | 15:38 |
kerio | vi_: sadly, even a sandisk mobile ultra (class 4) only achieves at most 2.7MB/s for random writes | 15:38 |
kerio | (512KB ones, mind you) | 15:38 |
vi_ | It is like measuring the viscosity of motorbike suspension oil with SAE measurements. Complete nonsense. | 15:39 |
kerio | for 4K ones, you get barely 1MB/s with a normal sandisk class 4 | 15:39 |
kerio | anyway, still slower than the eMMC | 15:40 |
kerio | i think | 15:40 |

MohammadAG | I just realized I'm actually connected through it... | 15:43 |
kerio | so far i only installed ddwrt on it, but it's kinda bad i think | 15:44 |
MohammadAG | anyway, ifup ppp3g (my interface name) doesn't seem to do anything | 15:44 |
MohammadAG | kerio, ddwrt doesn't work on my router (v2 board), but openwrt seems nice | 15:44 |
kerio | ddwrt is only half opensource | 15:44 |

Hurrian | kerio, charging only mode | 15:47 |
kerio | oic | 15:47 |

DocScrutinizer05 | if you type AT commands, minicom will send them out to serial, and if there's a modem on serial it will (or will not) react on AT command | 16:06 |

zeq | if you're not running udev you'll have to make the device node | 16:11 |
MohammadAG | DocScrutinizer05, the problem is on my router | 16:12 |
MohammadAG | my router has a USB port which I plugged a USB modem into | 16:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | aaah | 16:12 |
MohammadAG | and it's running OpenWRT, a linux distro for routers | 16:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and minicom on your router | 16:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | makes sense | 16:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | should be /dev/ttyUSB or ttyACM or sth | 16:13 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but only if udev creates that, first you need to check syslog if it gets detected at all | 16:13 |
zeq | device major 166 and 188 respectively | 16:13 |
zeq | mknod mknod /dev/ttyACM0 c 166 0 | 16:14 |
MohammadAG | shouldn't it remove the lines from /proc/devices on device unplug? | 16:14 |
DocScrutinizer05 | fsckng pastebin sets mimetype to txt :-/ | 16:14 |
zeq | only *one* mknod, obviously :) | 16:15 |
DocScrutinizer05 | browser offers to download or open in editor | 16:15 |
zeq | /proc/devices is what the kernel knows about, not userspace unless you have udev running | 16:15 |
DocScrutinizer05 | yep, the kernel driver for usb tty will need a device node in /dev/ | 16:16 |
DocScrutinizer05 | you could live happily with static devicenode | 16:16 |
MohammadAG | root@OpenWrt:~# cat /dev/ttyACM0 | 16:16 |
MohammadAG | cat: can't open '/dev/ttyACM0': No such device | 16:16 |
DocScrutinizer05 | mknod /dev/ttyACM0 c 166 0 | 16:17 |

fasta | DocScrutinizer05: but that's only because I never have seen the code for those likely. | 16:43 |
fasta | Even QT has some really weird ideas. | 16:43 |
zeq | MohammadAG: you could try insmod usbdevfs first | 16:43 |

FIQ | well, I see memory card there, but opening it just shows "format not supported" | 17:44 |
jon_y | kerio: I have an inductive stove :) | 17:44 |
jon_y | FIQ: try dmesg|tail ? | 17:45 |
DocScrutinizer05 | kerio: I thought about exactly that: BL-5 with inductive charging | 17:45 |
StyXman_ | DocScrutinizer05: most clients support «delete after downloading» | 17:45 |
DocScrutinizer05 | StyXman_: yeah, which makes your mail vanish on all other clients :-/ | 17:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | the wonders of imap | 17:46 |
kerio | DocScrutinizer05: it's exactly the same as POP in that regard | 17:46 |
kerio | isn't it | 17:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | no way | 17:46 |
jon_y | DocScrutinizer05: cloud computing!! | 17:46 |
jon_y | thin clients!! | 17:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | pop download is download | 17:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | no way to remote delete a mail on any remote client | 17:47 |
jon_y | man, I get sick of getting told how much cloud integration $new_phone has | 17:47 |
kerio | sure, and if you IMAP download from all your clients, you get the same behavior as POP | 17:47 |
StyXman_ | DocScrutinizer05: no, but once you downloaded and deleted, either with pop or imap, other clients won't see those emails either | 17:47 |
jon_y | so, I need to sign up with dropbox to get any external storage :( | 17:47 |
kerio | haha | 17:47 |
kerio | jon_y: google drive! | 17:47 |
jon_y | yeah, skydrive too | 17:48 |
StyXman_ | what you can do is have your mail in a dirmail setup and sync it with git | 17:48 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so bottom line: fsck imap, pop worked fine for 4 decades | 17:48 |
dreamer | jon_y: how can I check if I have the cssu automounter? | 17:48 |
jon_y | dreamer: it should be installed as part of cssu | 17:48 |
jon_y | after you enabled cssu of course | 17:48 |
kerio | "i don't like imap, so nobody should use it" | 17:49 |
dreamer | jon_y: well, I have the 'CSSU Features Configuration' .. | 17:49 |

FIQ | and now I recall what the fs-table is on my sd-card | 17:50 |
jon_y | dreamer: try also dmesg|tail? | 17:50 |
kerio | mail is not source code | 17:50 |
* DocScrutinizer05 kicks kerio, just for fun | 17:50 | |
kerio | and git is a bad VCS anyway, so... | 17:50 |
FIQ | p1 is formatted as vfat/fat32/whatever you want to call it, contains an uboot image | 17:50 |
kerio | ouch! | 17:50 |
jon_y | git is Superior | 17:50 |
DocScrutinizer05 | see? he likes it! | 17:50 |
FIQ | p2 is formatted as ext4, contains the rest of the content (i.e. an arch installation) | 17:50 |
* DocScrutinizer05 kicks kerio, just for more fun | 17:50 | |
kerio | stop it dammit | 17:51 |
* kerio IMAPs DocScrutinizer05 | 17:51 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | you want more? sure thing! | 17:51 |
FIQ | jon_y: ^ is my structure, do you know why it causes fails? | 17:51 |
jon_y | should be iMaps | 17:51 |
FIQ | dunno if this line was sent: (16:45:51) (FIQ) the only sd-related thing I see is "Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods" | 17:51 |
jon_y | FIQ: not sure | 17:51 |
StyXman_ | kerio: that *should* solve email sync'ing | 17:51 |
jon_y | FIQ: can you mount manually? | 17:51 |
DocScrutinizer05 | <kerio> Doc doesn't like my trolling, Doc must be an asshole | 17:51 |
FIQ | yes | 17:51 |
FIQ | I just did | 17:51 |
kerio | :c | 17:52 |
FIQ | to re-check if what I remembered was true | 17:52 |
FIQ | and it worked just fine | 17:52 |
kerio | i love you docky! <3 | 17:52 |
StyXman_ | kerio: not that I pretend to make a lot of sense... | 17:52 |
kerio | StyXman_: people keep using git for everything | 17:52 |
jon_y | FIQ: sorry, no idea | 17:52 |
kerio | if you just want to sync a directory, just use rsync or something like that | 17:52 |
StyXman_ | kerio: yes, even home dirs... | 17:53 |
FIQ | i.e. I did: mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1 /mnt && mount -t ext4 /dev/mmcblk1p2 /media/mmc1 | 17:53 |
jon_y | kerio: even several GB size binary | 17:53 |
FIQ | and they mounted fine | 17:53 |
FIQ | Ok, oh well | 17:53 |
FIQ | I can live with that error :p | 17:53 |
StyXman_ | kerio: right | 17:53 |
jon_y | previously, before the automounter script was around, I needed to mess with the automount script | 17:53 |
jon_y | can't remember where it sits | 17:53 |
*** SpeedEvil has quit IRC | 17:54 | |
jon_y | iirc just need to remove -t vfat | 17:54 |
jon_y | let mount guess the fs | 17:54 |
FIQ | the problem is that every time I omit -t vfat, I get "Invalid argument" | 17:54 |

FIQ | maybe that's why :D | 17:57 |
FIQ | let's update cssu and see if it makes a difference | 17:57 |
DocScrutinizer05 | LOL | 17:58 |
FIQ | hm | 17:58 |
jon_y | make sure to reboot just in case | 17:58 |
fasta | Your download starts in 5 seconds... | 17:59 |
fasta | Why not in 0 seconds? | 17:59 |
FIQ | DocScrutinizer: I never want to touch the "program manager" except if there's a good reason for it, as it's snailspeed is extremly annoying | 17:59 |
fasta | Does it have no mentally prepare the server? | 17:59 |
FIQ | *its' | 18:00 |
DocScrutinizer05 | FIQ: well, I dunno if you might get away with apt-get upgrade | 18:00 |

*** Zahra has joined #maemo | 18:00 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | CSSU tested against HAM *only* | 18:01 |
FIQ | DocScrutinizer: last time I did that with a CSSU update, it kinda half-updated or something | 18:01 |
*** heroux has joined #maemo | 18:01 | |
FIQ | I always upgrade, except for CSSU | 18:01 |
FIQ | *I always apt-get upgrade | 18:01 |
DocScrutinizer05 | you'll survive the unbearable delay, get a good cup of tea! ;-) | 18:02 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it improves the suspense | 18:02 |
FIQ | heh | 18:02 |
FIQ | which remembers me.. I was going to install bounce evolution some days ago to have something to do when not having a connection on the phone... it failed after 50% progress on HAM (after taking like 30min) :< | 18:03 |
FIQ | and it didn't really tell why except that it... well, failed | 18:04 |
jon_y | HAM is large ham and slow | 18:04 |
jon_y | no idea why it takes so long to wait between app installs | 18:04 |
DocScrutinizer05 | jon_y: some partly nonsesical recheck of _all_ dependencies, plus a rebuild of that friggin heavy graphical scroll-list | 18:07 |
jon_y | :( | 18:07 |
jon_y | intern wrote it? | 18:07 |
DocScrutinizer05 | :nod: | 18:08 |
jon_y | if it has to go that route, make it at least take a checkout list or something | 18:08 |
*** sLumPia has joined #maemo | 18:08 | |
jon_y | so I don't have to wait for each install to complete before looking for the next app | 18:08 |
DocScrutinizer05 | hey, if somebody really bothered: HAM is FOSS, you could augment it to have checkboxes to mark several packages as "install please", then do it all in one go | 18:09 |
jon_y | shopping cart/check list or whatever its called | 18:09 |
DocScrutinizer05 | actually there's already such a thing: in backup restore | 18:09 |
*** qwazix has joined #maemo | 18:09 | |
kerio | there's also such a thing in fapman, but it doesn't work for ovi stuff for obvious reasons | 18:10 |
* jonwil wonders if there is genuine interest in replacing icd or if people just like to bitch about how crap it is | 18:10 | |
* DocScrutinizer05 several times thought about creating a generic backup list that just contains _all_ packages | 18:10 | |
FIQ | oh | 18:10 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so you could select/deselect to your liking, then give HAM a go | 18:11 |
FIQ | it's done finally | 18:11 |
FIQ | just took 15 minutes | 18:11 |
FIQ | ... to load the UPDATE LIST | 18:11 |
*** Zahra has quit IRC | 18:11 | |
FIQ | now let's update CSSU | 18:11 |
DocScrutinizer05 | LOL | 18:11 |
FIQ | um | 18:11 |
DocScrutinizer05 | maybe you should disable some repos? | 18:11 |
FIQ | (null) Install anyway? | 18:11 |
FIQ | ^ huh? | 18:11 |
FIQ | DocScrutinizer: maaybe | 18:11 |
jon_y | :( | 18:11 |
kerio | ssu/mr0/extras-devel/community-testing | 18:12 |
kerio | and HAM is bearable | 18:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | kick extras-devel and you're fine | 18:12 |
FIQ | erm | 18:12 |
FIQ | "not enough battery" | 18:12 |
FIQ | what is the requirement? | 18:12 |
FIQ | i have 70% atm | 18:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | o.O | 18:13 |
DocScrutinizer05 | use a charger? | 18:13 |
FIQ | no | 18:13 |
FIQ | broken microUSB | 18:13 |
FIQ | the only charger I have is external | 18:13 |
DocScrutinizer05 | never heard about requirements re battery in HAM | 18:13 |
DocScrutinizer05 | YAy | 18:13 |
kerio | DocScrutinizer05: maemo without the extras repo sucks | 18:13 |
FIQ | so let's see now | 18:14 |
FIQ | I can't remove this requirement? | 18:14 |
DocScrutinizer05 | kerio: shutup fool. I said extras-devel | 18:14 |
kerio | extras-devel is like extras, but stuff isn't ancient | 18:14 |
kerio | software in extras is *not* more stable | 18:14 |
DocScrutinizer05 | no, it's also 30 times the size | 18:14 |
kerio | it should be, but it isn't | 18:14 |
FIQ | I'm very sure that the battery will not drop before, and also, I've been able to update PRs before with 20% (through xterm) battery | 18:15 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and nobody suggested you keep it disabled | 18:15 |
FIQ | because if I can't, I see no way of properly upgrading CSSU if HAM is the most stable way | 18:15 |
*** pcfe has joined #maemo | 18:16 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | FIQ: as mentioned before, I don't know of any such battery check in HAM (maybe that doesn't mean a thing though) | 18:16 |
FIQ | DocScrutinizer: but there is one | 18:16 |
FIQ | But not with regular updates | 18:17 |
FIQ | Just with "system upgrades" | 18:17 |
DocScrutinizer05 | you're sure you didn't try to flash a new kernel? | 18:17 |
FIQ | and CSSU counts as one | 18:17 |
DocScrutinizer05 | :nod: | 18:17 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sounds about right | 18:17 |
DocScrutinizer05 | anyway 70% should suffice | 18:18 |
FIQ | i.e. when updating CSSU, there's a window like with PR updates, "Update for Maemo: blablablabla Create backup copy or continue?" and then a battery check | 18:18 |
DocScrutinizer05 | hmmm | 18:18 |
kerio | that's when you're updating a package marked sys, or something | 18:18 |
kerio | and mp-community-fremantle-pr is one of those | 18:18 |
kerio | or whatever it's called | 18:19 |
DocScrutinizer05 | never seen that, maybe because usually my battery is 100% when doing updates | 18:19 |
qwazix | Does FCamera york with cssu-thumb? Doesn't work for me | 18:19 |
DocScrutinizer05 | kerio: that's what FIQ said | 18:19 |
qwazix | s/york/work/ | 18:19 |
infobot | qwazix meant: Does FCamera work with cssu-thumb? Doesn't work for me | 18:19 |
DocScrutinizer05 | qwazix: quite probably not | 18:19 |
DocScrutinizer05 | though freemangordon(?) clainmed it does | 18:20 |
kerio | qwazix: i think it's made to work with the stock kernel and/or the kernel-power from Pali ONLY | 18:20 |
DocScrutinizer05 | yep | 18:20 |
kerio | if it works anywhere else, it's just because of a coincidence | 18:20 |
freemangordon | vi_: pong | 18:20 |
FIQ | DocScrutinizer: so should I try to update with apt-get? | 18:20 |
freemangordon | zeq: ping | 18:20 |
zeq | Hi freemangordon | 18:20 |
kerio | FIQ: you should shut down, charge your battery, make a backup with backupmenu, and then update with HAM | 18:21 |
kerio | freemangordon! ^_^ | 18:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | freemangordon: should FIQ upgrade to CSSU-T latest with apt-get upgrade? | 18:21 |
freemangordon | zeq: how to make fennec link with --rpath? | 18:21 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: lemme see tha backscroll | 18:21 |
qwazix | hm, okay are there any fcam drivers package specifically compiled for kernel-cssu that I should try? | 18:22 |
kerio | [UNOFFICIAL OPINION DONT TAKE SERIOUSLY]upgrading with apt-get should work, but reboot as soon as possible once you're done | 18:22 |
zeq | export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath-link,$PWD/dist/bin/:/usr/lib:/lib -Wl,-rpath,/opt/qtm | 18:22 |
zeq | 12/lib | 18:22 |
dreamer | jon_y: I definitely have cssu installed, at least it's in the settings | 18:22 |
dreamer | but ext2 doesn't get mounted | 18:22 |
freemangordon | zeq: that in debian/rules? | 18:22 |
jon_y | dreamer: sorry, I really have no idea | 18:22 |
jon_y | try ext3 for kicks? | 18:22 |
DocScrutinizer05 | dreamer: which version? | 18:22 |
zeq | that's in mozconfig, just the extra -rpath part | 18:23 |
freemangordon | FIQ: backscroll too long, would you repeat the essencials? | 18:23 |
zeq | -Wl,-rpath,/opt/qtm12/lib | 18:23 |
FIQ | kerio: An interesting thing is that I upgraded to PR1.2 with apt-get w/o problems (I got some strange bugs before reboot however, but that's expected) | 18:23 |
zeq | there's also a patch in our tree which deals with the fennec install directory rpath | 18:23 |
dreamer | DocScrutinizer05: how can I see that? | 18:23 |
dreamer | DocScrutinizer05: ah | 18:24 |
DocScrutinizer05 | settings - about_cssu | 18:24 |
zeq | that gets added by configure since it knows where the install directory is going to end up | 18:24 |
dreamer | DocScrutinizer05: 21.2011.38-1Smaemo3 | 18:24 |
freemangordon | zeq: so, I should puth LDFLAGS = $(LDFLAGS) + -Wl,-rpath,/opt/qtm12/lib | 18:24 |
freemangordon | in debian/tuls that is | 18:24 |
DocScrutinizer05 | dreamer: should work aiui | 18:24 |
zeq | can do, as long as it isn't overridden by mozconfig | 18:24 |
DocScrutinizer05 | dreamer: please /join #maemo-ssu and ping freemangordon there | 18:25 |
FIQ | freemangordon: cannot update via HAM due to battery requirement (I have 70% atm), i have updated "normal" updates from Nokia through apt-get before just fine with 20%, but: (17:00:40) (FIQ) DocScrutinizer: last time I did that with a CSSU update, it kinda half-updated or something | 18:25 |
FIQ | "I did that" as in "I did update CSSU with apt-get" | 18:26 |
zeq | freemangordon: I'm just about to take my dog for a walk, I'll take my N900, but will chat S L O W L Y :P | 18:26 |
dreamer | DocScrutinizer05: hokay .. | 18:26 |
kerio | FIQ: so... charge your battery | 18:26 |
kerio | eventually you're going to *have* to | 18:26 |
freemangordon | FIQ: connect a charger | 18:26 |
kerio | unless it's 20% of a nuclear battery | 18:26 |
FIQ | kerio: my external charger only goes to 90% | 18:26 |
FIQ | freemangordon: no microUSB | 18:26 |
kerio | freemangordon: usb port is bork | 18:26 |
kerio | FIQ: so? | 18:26 |
freemangordon | FIQ: does not matter, just connect it and update via HAM | 18:27 |
jon_y | RTBGs, last 50 years eaasily | 18:27 |
freemangordon | aah | 18:27 |
freemangordon | well, 20% seems too risky to me | 18:27 |
DocScrutinizer05 | freemangordon: connect what? | 18:27 |
FIQ | um huh? connecting with broken microUSB wont do a thing | 18:27 |
FIQ | but.. it's 70% | 18:27 |
FIQ | I just told that I've done fine with 20% before (so the battery shouldn't be a problem here, just apt-get vs HAM) | 18:28 |
*** zeq1 has joined #maemo | 18:28 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | if there's a battery check in HAM for system upgrades, it shouldn't trigger at >=70% | 18:28 |
DocScrutinizer05 | maybe at 40% | 18:28 |
DocScrutinizer05 | maybe 30 | 18:28 |
DocScrutinizer05 | not 70 | 18:28 |
freemangordon | :nod: | 18:28 |
FIQ | let's see if my other battery is charged yet | 18:28 |
*** SpeedEvil has quit IRC | 18:29 | |
freemangordon | what is the message from HAM? | 18:29 |
FIQ | "Not enough battery - connect a charger and continue" or something | 18:29 |
DocScrutinizer05 | verbatim | 18:29 |
DocScrutinizer05 | if possible ;-) | 18:29 |
FIQ | I've swedish locale at the moment | 18:29 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I guess freemangordonwants to grep for it | 18:29 |
freemangordon | FIQ: and how many bars you have? | 18:30 |
freemangordon | on battery metter | 18:30 |
FIQ | freemangordon: I can't count them, but it's over half | 18:30 |
freemangordon | hmm, did you try to reboot? | 18:31 |
FIQ | sorry for the lack of info here, but the battery meter doesn't say much | 18:31 |
DocScrutinizer05 | yeah, the bars on battery icon are no bars actually ;-P | 18:31 |
FIQ | freemangordon: No, but I've come to a new conclusion - just wait at the moment until my other battery is charged fully and try again | 18:31 |
kgu | Do you know of any mail-apps that could replace modest? | 18:31 |
FIQ | If it still errors, i'll come back | 18:31 |
*** sirdancealot7 has quit IRC | 18:31 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | FIQ: I'd guess your previous run with exploding HAM might have messed up things. So a reboot might be fine | 18:32 |
*** sirdancealot7 has joined #maemo | 18:32 | |
kerio | kgu: microB :P | 18:32 |
jon_y | btw, anybody know why my nokia about page says version unknown? | 18:32 |
jon_y | its a pr1.3 system | 18:32 |
kgu | kerio: Not really a mail-app.. :) | 18:33 |
*** SpeedEvil has joined #maemo | 18:34 | |
*** FredrIQ has joined #maemo | 18:34 | |
FredrIQ | Um, the battery indicator changed its' mind after reboot, so now HAM would definetely complain | 18:35 |
zeq | I've created new tarballs for the linaro-4.6/7 compilers http://www.snewbury.org.uk/maemo | 18:35 |
FredrIQ | now it's more like 40% | 18:35 |
FredrIQ | so I guess I'll just wait | 18:35 |
FredrIQ | until my other battery is charged | 18:35 |
*** FIQ has quit IRC | 18:36 | |
*** FredrIQ is now known as FIQ | 18:36 | |
freemangordon | zeq: how we are supposed to use that? | 18:39 |
DocScrutinizer05 | jon_y: you messed a lot with kernels and stuff? | 18:40 |
FIQ | hmm | 18:40 |
FIQ | speaking of updates, why did nokia release a PR1.3.1? | 18:40 |
DocScrutinizer05 | cert issue | 18:40 |
DocScrutinizer05 | security update | 18:41 |
jon_y | DocScrutinizer05: well, it is flashed with uboot | 18:41 |
jon_y | loaded with kp50 | 18:41 |
FIQ | ah | 18:41 |
DocScrutinizer05 | that might be the reason | 18:41 |
jon_y | loading a kernel that is different from flash will give you that? | 18:41 |
DocScrutinizer05 | not exactly, but related | 18:42 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it's not all clear what this closed lib to gather all the systeminfo does | 18:42 |
jon_y | ok, what happened? nobody knows exactly? | 18:43 |
*** vblazquez has joined #maemo | 18:43 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | Nokia would know | 18:43 |
DocScrutinizer05 | search tmo for "CAL" and "version unknown" | 18:44 |
jon_y | tmo? | 18:44 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ~tmo | 18:44 |
infobot | it has been said that tmo is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMO, or http://talk.maemo.org, or http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrestrial_Trunked_Radio#TMO. It's *not* T-MO (see ~T-MO) or trolls, morons, oxen. | 18:44 |
jon_y | ok | 18:44 |
jon_y | ~CAL | 18:45 |
infobot | from memory, cal is a calendar. try $(cal 1752) | 18:45 |
zeq1 | freemangordon: just unpack into /scratchbox/compilers | 18:45 |
jon_y | so CAL calendar? | 18:45 |
DocScrutinizer05 | search for "What is CAL?" in tmo | 18:45 |
zeq1 | this time it *should* have the right kernel headers | 18:46 |
jon_y | ok | 18:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | CAL==config | 18:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | cat /proc/mtd | 18:46 |

* jonwil wonders if anyone actually cares about replacing closed-stuff with open-stuff or they just keep complaining about how crap the closed source bits are without being willing to do anything about it... :P | 19:17 | |
kgu | Maybe we are just not that skilled :) | 19:17 |
freemangordon | jonwil: those that complain are not doers, just moaners ;) | 19:18 |
jonwil | the question then is, are there any doers out there or am I the only one left who actually wants to do REAL work on this stuff? | 19:18 |

zeq1 | jonwil: you were talking about the icd stuff earlier, what does mer use for network management? wouldn't it be easier to port something that works, rather than re-implement the whole thing? | 19:22 |
*** Kilroo has joined #maemo | 19:23 | |
jonwil | yeah I wasnt suggesting writing something new | 19:23 |
jonwil | what I was saying is that we need to come up with something that talks to the same dbus interfaces, gconf keys etc that are expected by other parts of the system | 19:23 |
jonwil | specifically the bits we cant easily change | 19:23 |
jonwil | I think thats why | 19:25 |
jonwil | I think 'that's why things like camera-ui, new clock etc have been attractive for devs is that they can be done without breaking stuff | 19:25 |

Lava_Croft | out cycling with people, including 3iphones and 2 galaxy s2's | 19:26 |
freemangordon | jonwil: but your question re BME is applicable here as well, for what purpose you want to reimplament icd? | 19:26 |
Lava_Croft | guess which poor N900 was doing all the navigation? | 19:26 |
kgu | Lava_Croft: Which app did you use? | 19:27 |
jonwil | well lots of people have said ICD sucks, also by replacing it with something open it can support things like some of the fancy WiFi security bits that the stock stuff doesn't do | 19:27 |
Lava_Croft | kgu: mappero | 19:27 |
Lava_Croft | i almost exclusively use mappero | 19:27 |
Lava_Croft | sometimes marble, but i cant really get around its gui | 19:27 |
jon_y | now, stick a control system on it and have the phone steer for you :) | 19:28 |
kgu | mappero better than modrana? | 19:28 |
Lava_Croft | i think i saw modrana for 5 seconds | 19:28 |
jon_y | none of the map apps ever work for me :( | 19:28 |
Lava_Croft | then decided this GUI is not for me | 19:29 |
kgu | ok | 19:29 |
Lava_Croft | should i try it? | 19:29 |
Lava_Croft | like, give it a chance? | 19:29 |
*** FIQ|n900 has joined #maemo | 19:29 | |
Lava_Croft | mappero isnt really updated anymore, iirc | 19:29 |
jon_y | Lava_Croft: does mappero require 3G to operate? | 19:29 |
kgu | maybe, I can't really decide which one I prefer | 19:29 |
kerio | maep is good | 19:29 |
jonwil | so yeah replacing ICD is useful for much the same reasons as replacing BME is useful | 19:30 |
kerio | but it doesn't do voice navigation | 19:30 |
kerio | or... navigation, i think | 19:30 |
*** FredrIQ|n900 has joined #maemo | 19:30 | |
FredrIQ|n900 | hey, it worked! | 19:30 |
Lava_Croft | jon_y: depends | 19:30 |
Lava_Croft | 3g is handy if you didnt pre-download maps | 19:30 |
FredrIQ|n900 | and now my SD card mounts properly too :p | 19:30 |
jon_y | ah ok, it can predownload | 19:30 |
Lava_Croft | yeah | 19:30 |
FredrIQ|n900 | not localized though | 19:30 |
Lava_Croft | and it does voice nav | 19:30 |
jonwil | its just that everyone likes to complain about the suckiness of ICD but no-one except me has shown any interest in actually doing anything about it :P | 19:30 |
FredrIQ|n900 | "14,4 gb volume" | 19:31 |
jon_y | the last time I tried, modrana doesn't do predownloads | 19:31 |
Lava_Croft | aw | 19:31 |
Lava_Croft | i think Marble can pre-download | 19:31 |
jon_y | no 3G/data plans make it kind of useless | 19:31 |
Lava_Croft | well, yeah | 19:31 |
Lava_Croft | but no 3g/data plan would make my entire n900 pretty useless | 19:32 |
jon_y | nope, I live off wifi for connectivity :) | 19:32 |
jon_y | occasionally over USB rndis | 19:32 |
Lava_Croft | mostly wifi and 3g here | 19:32 |
Lava_Croft | im on the road a lot | 19:32 |
Lava_Croft | actually | 19:32 |
DocScrutinizer05 | FredrIQ|n900: hey!! :-D | 19:32 |
Lava_Croft | 90% is 2g | 19:32 |
Lava_Croft | i can stream music fine over 2g | 19:33 |
Lava_Croft | 32kpbs streams:) | 19:33 |
Lava_Croft | kbps | 19:33 |
jonwil | I keep my phone in 2G most of the time (i.e. unless I am doing heavy data stuff) as it saves battery usage | 19:33 |
Lava_Croft | aye | 19:33 |
Lava_Croft | same | 19:33 |
Lava_Croft | i switch to 3g only when i feel i need it | 19:33 |
jon_y | strange that I can get 3G signals in rural areas, but data plans are expensive and idiotic | 19:33 |
jon_y | damn packages | 19:33 |
Lava_Croft | i get 3g fine throughout entire NL | 19:33 |
Lava_Croft | but its a small, flat country | 19:34 |
Lava_Croft | urban areas are worse for 3g here, old buildings ec | 19:34 |
Lava_Croft | they block out everything | 19:34 |
*** FIQ|n900 has quit IRC | 19:34 | |
*** FredrIQ|n900 is now known as FIQ|n900 | 19:34 | |
jon_y | yeah, but enough microcells around that signal strength isn't really an issue | 19:34 |
Lava_Croft | 3g coverage in NL is ridiculous for such a shit tiny country | 19:35 |
Lava_Croft | a lot of 'dead' spots | 19:35 |
*** qwazix has quit IRC | 19:36 | |
jon_y | I get 3G signal out in rural areas, with wooden huts and stuff around :| | 19:36 |
jon_y | no, I don't have a data plan | 19:36 |
jon_y | so its left to emergency use only | 19:36 |
Lava_Croft | aw | 19:36 |
Lava_Croft | if i had no data plan, i would just put a 1650 in my pocket | 19:37 |
FIQ|n900 | I've rarely *no 3G at all*, but in areas like this (in the middle of nowhere) it can be a bit ridiculous @stability | 19:37 |
vi_ | freemangordon: upgraded to latest testing cssu-thumb. It totally rules. Thank you. | 19:37 |
FIQ|n900 | as seen in my nice d/c's all the time :3 | 19:37 |
Lava_Croft | dont trust 3g for constant connectivity | 19:38 |
Lava_Croft | ever | 19:38 |
Lava_Croft | trust 2G with that:P | 19:38 |
FIQ|n900 | Lava_Croft: i have dual | 19:38 |
Lava_Croft | i dont like dual | 19:38 |
Lava_Croft | it just annoys me | 19:38 |
FIQ|n900 | so it *should* switch if it miss 3g, shouldn't it? | 19:38 |
Lava_Croft | yes | 19:38 |
Lava_Croft | it does so too, for me | 19:39 |
Lava_Croft | which makes my audio stream disconnect | 19:39 |
jon_y | idiot packaging gives you expensive data plans with crappy caps, in addition to ridiculously postpaid voice/sms plans | 19:39 |
FIQ|n900 | I've never got 2g at all here | 19:39 |
jon_y | **ridiculously expensive | 19:39 |
FIQ|n900 | either 3g or nothing, constantly swapping | 19:39 |
Lava_Croft | i have about 1gb of data shoving per month | 19:39 |
Lava_Croft | unlimited sms | 19:39 |
Lava_Croft | and 100 minutes of calling | 19:39 |
Lava_Croft | i got a galaxy nexus with it, which i sold right away | 19:39 |
Lava_Croft | so i could get N9 | 19:39 |
kerio | why didn't you get another n900? :c | 19:40 |
kerio | you traitor | 19:40 |
Lava_Croft | i alreayd have two | 19:40 |
Lava_Croft | and n9 is cute | 19:40 |

Lava_Croft | yes im being called a traitor by someone who is also amazed at the size of extras-devel | 19:40 |

Lava_Croft | i guess its time to go do something else | 19:41 |
Lava_Croft | o/ | 19:41 |
FIQ|n900 | DocScrutinizer05: does maemo create a DCIM directory in fat32 partitions? | 19:41 |
jon_y | my n9 comes with angry birds and Need For Speed | 19:41 |
Lava_Croft | jon_y: mine too | 19:41 |
Lava_Croft | and golf lol | 19:41 |
Lava_Croft | first things to remove:) | 19:41 |
jon_y | lol yeah that too | 19:41 |
kerio | why would you remove angry birds? :o | 19:41 |
Lava_Croft | its boring? | 19:41 |
jon_y | no interest in it | 19:42 |
FIQ|n900 | hm golf | 19:42 |
Lava_Croft | the golf game is annoying too | 19:42 |
FIQ|n900 | my previous phone came with some golf app | 19:42 |
Lava_Croft | i think the only N9 games that i actually play is Pocket RPG | 19:42 |
Lava_Croft | game* | 19:42 |
jon_y | now if it came with Nokia 2/3xxx snake game... :) | 19:43 |
FIQ|n900 | the 3d appearence was quite impressive for such a phone (se p1i), but I didn't play it more than to try | 19:43 |
FIQ|n900 | jon_y: :P | 19:43 |
*** brzys has quit IRC | 19:44 | |
jon_y | the N9 kind of feels weird to use, if you're dealing with call menus | 19:44 |
jon_y | no hard keys make it awkward :( | 19:44 |
jon_y | I guess I'll get that too with any andoid/iphone out there | 19:45 |
jon_y | how do you guys deal with call menus? repeatedly press 0 until the operator shows up? | 19:45 |
kerio | can anything bad happen if i remove osso-games-* | 19:46 |
kerio | ? | 19:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | well, the trend to have less and less hw-buttons is insane | 19:47 |
* FIQ|n900 doesn't like that trend | 19:47 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | I *hate* shooting photos with a touchscreen trigger | 19:47 |
jonwil | I for one do NOT want a phone without a hardware keyboard | 19:47 |
jonwil | but I fear that I wont have a choice when I am shopping for my next phone | 19:48 |
jacekowski | jonwil: there are no phones with hw keyboard | 19:48 |
jacekowski | jonwil: that were released in last year | 19:48 |
FIQ|n900 | jonwil: I will never get one, unless the number of alternatives hits 0 | 19:48 |
kerio | hm, i thought the droid 3 had a bunch of keys | 19:48 |
FIQ|n900 | jacekowski: that's evil :< | 19:48 |
jonwil | I think the one company that has made the most phones with hwkbd is RIM | 19:49 |
jonwil | most BlackBerries seem to have hardware keyboard | 19:49 |
kerio | jacekowski: yep, you're lying | 19:49 |
kerio | no, no you're not D: | 19:49 |
kerio | the droid 3 was released on july 14 2011 | 19:49 |
*** SpeedEvil has quit IRC | 19:50 | |
kerio | hm, the droid 4 has a hw kbd | 19:50 |
kerio | so yeah, jacekowski: you're wrong | 19:50 |
FIQ|n900 | some manufacturer should realize that they could do some money of hw-kbd, it would be kinda unique this day.. | 19:50 |
FIQ|n900 | *off | 19:51 |
jon_y | I was told that you're supposed to use bluetooth keyboards | 19:51 |
jonwil | bluetooth keyboards suck | 19:51 |
jon_y | awkward is still awkward | 19:51 |
jonwil | you cant use em when you have no surface to put them on | 19:51 |
DocScrutinizer05 | my hopes for jolla doing that got kinda crushed | 19:51 |
FIQ|n900 | DocScrutinizer05: huh? | 19:52 |
ShadowJK | bt keyboards are fine if you have 3 arms and 3 hands | 19:52 |
* FIQ|n900 also has hopes for that, but.. "crushed"? | 19:52 | |
jon_y | sometimes, I miss my old nokia series60 candy bar when dealing with call menus | 19:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | smashed, whatever | 19:52 |
jonwil | my guess is that with more and more people shopping for phones based on looks rather than usage, hardware keyboards are no longer in vogue | 19:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | nuked | 19:52 |
jon_y | jonwil: I guess most people don't deal with call menus | 19:53 |
FIQ|n900 | DocScrutinizer05: oh yeah i get the definition.. but why? | 19:53 |
DocScrutinizer05 | initially tales were jolly will build two devices, one for dumbass users and one for geeks like us | 19:53 |
FIQ|n900 | yeah | 19:53 |
jonwil | call menus are hard enough as it is on my N900 :) | 19:53 |
jon_y | agreed | 19:53 |
DocScrutinizer05 | then some jolla dude corrected that | 19:53 |
*** jonwil has quit IRC | 19:53 | |

FredrIQ|n900 | what kerio said? | 19:55 |
DocScrutinizer05 | only one device, with a developer mode | 19:55 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I went "WAAAHHAAAHAAAAAAAAAAA! aeggis!" | 19:55 |
FredrIQ|n900 | hm... | 19:55 |
ShadowJK | a real developer mode, or pretend like N9? | 19:55 |
jon_y | I want a phone with real ethernet jacks :) | 19:55 |
DocScrutinizer05 | allegedly a real one, according to stskeeps | 19:56 |
FredrIQ|n900 | and I guess that means, N9 style no-hw-kbd? | 19:56 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but my hopes for decent hw kbd are mostly gone now | 19:56 |
kerio | hrmpf, the droid 4 has no umts | 19:56 |
ShadowJK | I'm not sure I'd trust the "real" part until I see it :P | 19:56 |

*** flo_lap is now known as florian | 20:12 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | ~tell kerio about aegis | 20:13 |
Lava_Croft | more like tell kerio about Trusted Computing | 20:13 |
kerio | DocScrutinizer05: that's not the concept of tpm, that's a particular implementation of tpm | 20:13 |
Lava_Croft | and i personally dont oppose Aegis at all | 20:14 |
kerio | i'm all for tpm where i'm the one with the key to my device | 20:14 |
kerio | sadly, that doesn't really happen | 20:14 |
Lava_Croft | you need something like Aegis in the dumbuser market | 20:14 |
jon_y | and to pander to the service providers | 20:14 |
Lava_Croft | thats included in 'dumbmarket', but yeah | 20:14 |
jon_y | so they can flood you with the latest angry birds promo | 20:14 |

DocScrutinizer05 | ~aegis | 20:16 |
infobot | http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Harmattan:Developer_Library/Developing_for_Harmattan/Harmattan_security/Security_guide , or "The purpose of this framework is: ... to make sure that the platform meets the requirements set by third party software that requires a safe execution environment.", or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Computing#Criticism, or http://en.qi-hardware.com/w/images/1/10/ME_382_LockedUpTechnology2.gif | 20:16 |
DocScrutinizer05 | "The purpose of this framework is: ... to make sure that the platform meets the requirements set by third party software that requires a safe execution environment." is the key | 20:16 |

DocScrutinizer05 | if my attitude doesn't please you... well, I couldn't bother less, esp since you seem to content with fuzzy BS statements | 20:22 |
Lava_Croft | but why make a remark like "go to #harmattan" | 20:22 |
Lava_Croft | i mean really | 20:22 |
Lava_Croft | apart from it not being a really productive argument | 20:22 |
Lava_Croft | you are also trying to actively shit on other folks | 20:22 |
Lava_Croft | in this case #harmattan, which are nice people and which is a nice phone with nice software | 20:23 |
DocScrutinizer05 | [2012-07-21 19:20:25] <DocScrutinizer05> are you maybe in the wrong channel? shouldn't you enjoy walled garden over at #harmattan? | 20:23 |
Lava_Croft | so what is your problem really | 20:23 |
DocScrutinizer05 | please reread! | 20:23 |
Lava_Croft | its a broken statement | 20:23 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it's no statement at all | 20:23 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ETX | 20:23 |
jabis | I find aegis a broken statement - tho I like the idea of a security framework | 20:23 |
Lava_Croft | its a statement that disguided as question | 20:23 |
Lava_Croft | i dont oppose aegis, but enjoying it is the other side of the spectrum | 20:24 |
Lava_Croft | poor animosity | 20:24 |
jabis | then again I've argued over the need to be in the users hand - not under a certificate that walls the developing | 20:24 |
Lava_Croft | i would love to place all the power in the user's hands | 20:25 |
Lava_Croft | thats how it should be | 20:25 |
Lava_Croft | but practice proves over and over that the majority of people just cant and dont want to deal with such freedom | 20:25 |
jabis | you can't be creative with your linux if it's behind a dozen closed doors | 20:25 |
Lava_Croft | closed doors are an incentive to be creative, arent they? | 20:25 |
Lava_Croft | its not like the closed door on the n9 made it really hard to enter through the window | 20:26 |
jabis | the freedom to develop apps that could kick ass > the ability to make 100 different camera apps | 20:26 |
jabis | just because you can't | 20:26 |
Lava_Croft | the majority of people just dont care | 20:26 |
Lava_Croft | they just want 'shit to work' | 20:27 |
Lava_Croft | i cant help it:< | 20:27 |
jabis | but they CARE for the apps provided (the "ecosystems" people tend to em about) | 20:27 |
Lava_Croft | but not as much as you would think | 20:27 |
Lava_Croft | and most of the time shit does work on thos walled garden systems | 20:28 |
FIQ|n900 | uhh | 20:28 |
Lava_Croft | no matter how wrong they are in so many ways | 20:28 |
FIQ|n900 | I updated CSSU recently | 20:28 |
jabis | that's the only pitfall I've been hearing about - with non-tech people | 20:28 |
FIQ|n900 | everything worked etc | 20:28 |
jabis | they don't have the apps | 20:28 |
FIQ|n900 | but uh | 20:28 |
FIQ|n900 | now when checking what I have left to update | 20:28 |
FIQ|n900 | CSSU still show up | 20:28 |
FIQ|n900 | why? | 20:29 |
*** SpeedEvil has quit IRC | 20:29 | |
*** FIQ|n900 has quit IRC | 20:29 | |
jabis | much like the inability to get a "rare" opportunity to work over VPN | 20:29 |
Lava_Croft | i own n900 because i get immensely annoyed by android, ios whatever | 20:30 |
jabis | every fucking other phone gives you this - if we're not talking about S40-series symbian | 20:30 |
Lava_Croft | because they limit my freedom to do things the way i want | 20:30 |
Lava_Croft | but i rarely ever come across anyone in real life who really cares about such stuff | 20:30 |
*** danishman has joined #maemo | 20:30 | |
Lava_Croft | and if i do, its a nerd | 20:30 |
Lava_Croft | so why would a company thats trying to be a success in the mobile phone world have to care about user freedom | 20:30 |
Lava_Croft | business wise, its just not really that big of an issue if its open or not | 20:31 |
jabis | I'm talking about businesses adopting any "smartphones" | 20:31 |

jabis | a simple loop/tap device needed + a few dbus permissions -> all is there but no way to use = poor shit | 20:35 |
DocScrutinizer05 | jabis: and still that's the whole concept of chain-of-trust | 20:36 |
*** SpeedEvil has joined #maemo | 20:37 | |
*** Zahra has joined #maemo | 20:38 | |
jabis | DocScrutinizer05 well not exactly - usually the superuser-level is in the hands of user - not an outside authority | 20:38 |
DocScrutinizer05 | no way | 20:39 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it starts with there's no such role as superuser in that concept. There isn't _any_ roles | 20:39 |
jabis | I'm talking about authority - not privileges | 20:41 |
jabis | thus authority has superceding control over the chain of trust - and authority being in hands of user - not distributor | 20:42 |
DocScrutinizer05 | that's not chain of trust | 20:43 |
DocScrutinizer05 | that's age old permissions | 20:43 |
jabis | no - chain of trust relies for example some certificates - but authority is the user accepting the certs | 20:45 |
Sicelo | i will probably never understand why locking devices down is said to protect users :/ | 20:45 |
jabis | what nokia enforces is more a monopoly than a chain of trust | 20:45 |
trumee | DocScrutinizer05: here is an OT question. I want to deply a ftp server in a place with lot of power outages (no backup UPS). a) Is it possible to build a read only linux root. b) Is SSD a better choice than HDD for power failures? | 20:45 |
*** eMHa_ has quit IRC | 20:46 | |
jabis | Monopoly -> A single CA acting also as RA -> One key to rule them all... -> All signing is done with this single key | 20:46 |
* trumee would have preferred a router running openwrt. but these things dont have the cpu grunt to do transcoding | 20:46 | |
trumee | DocScrutinizer05: the server will be a mythtv server actually | 20:47 |
*** sLumPia has quit IRC | 20:48 | |
jabis | chain of trust paradigm is much more hard to grasp | 20:49 |
kerio | trumee: it's definetely possible to build a read only linux root | 20:49 |
kerio | and if the system is read only, it should make no difference | 20:50 |
trumee | kerio: is hdd prone to failure on power outage comapred with ssd? | 20:50 |
kerio | so i'd go ssd | 20:50 |
kerio | ssd's problems are with writing, not reading | 20:50 |
kerio | so... sure, i guess | 20:50 |

kerio | jabis: it's going to be a read-only system | 20:52 |
kerio | trumee: hell, go with something even smaller and easily replaceable | 20:52 |
trumee | kerio: the only problem is that i need a mysql server running, and that will need a rw fs :( | 20:52 |

* ShadowJK imagines a ups with that psu is even better | 21:25 | |

trumee | ShadowJK: i have using a APC ups and have had lot of problems | 21:25 |
*** Kiborg has quit IRC | 21:26 | |
trumee | ShadowJK: these UPS are not built for an environment which sees 5-6 outages each day | 21:26 |

*** FIQ has joined #maemo | 21:26 | |
trumee | so i would rather hook the system to the mains rather than go with a UPS | 21:26 |
ShadowJK | The "entry level" or "small office" UPSen dont work with active pfc psus very well | 21:27 |
ShadowJK | It's important to never deplete the batteries, so you need to dimension them according to that, and do quick shutdown of computer | 21:28 |
trumee | this is what i have, http://www.apc.com/products/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=SUA1000UXI&total_watts=50 | 21:28 |

zeq | freemangordon: my latest fennec build with gcc47 seems ok. still really slow to load pages though! Not sure if MOZ_ACCELERATED=1 is working or not... | 22:48 |
vi_ | Honestly, the imperial measurments system should have been BURIED decades ago. | 22:49 |
vi_ | I do not measure things in bushels or rods thank you. | 22:49 |
Macer | vi_: LOL.. yeah.. honestly.. i agree ;) | 22:49 |
Macer | but try converting hillbillies and ignorant people to a new system | 22:49 |
Macer | it would be chaos | 22:49 |
freemangordon | zeq: MOZ_ACCELERATED=1 means enable HW acceleration, but you don't really need it | 22:49 |
freemangordon | there are entries in about:config for that purpose | 22:50 |
freemangordon | zeq: ^^^ | 22:50 |
Macer | vi_: the one that confuses me the most.. is the "dozen" | 22:50 |
zeq | up to now it's had the effect of black flickering you described before | 22:50 |
Macer | wtf is up with the number 12 that it gets its own special name? | 22:50 |
zeq | now no errors, maybe the env var is ignored now? | 22:50 |
Macer | too bad the world didn't start off working with an 8 base system | 22:50 |
Macer | imagine how easily peopl ewould understand binary numbers nowadays if it were heh | 22:50 |
ShadowJK | dozen is the only one that survives, there were many other names too | 22:51 |
Macer | ShadowJK: for 12? | 22:51 |
freemangordon | zeq: NFC, justpulled master, lemme build and check what's going on | 22:51 |
Macer | we use the 12" foot heh | 22:51 |
freemangordon | zeq: could that regression of speed be related to some jscrib zlib changes in Makefile? | 22:51 |
Macer | because i guess 12" was a common foot size in the colonial days? | 22:51 |
ShadowJK | not for 12, but for all sorts of measurements | 22:52 |
freemangordon | *jscript | 22:52 |
Macer | i don't understand why the colonists weren't using the metric system anyways | 22:52 |
Macer | didn't the metric system come out before the US was reated? | 22:52 |
Macer | created | 22:52 |
ShadowJK | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dozen | 22:53 |
zeq | freemangordon: I may not be losing noticible performance because I compiled with -ftree-vectorize, -ffast-math and -fgraphite? | 22:53 |
zeq | it seems fast except for the page loading time | 22:53 |
zeq | freemangordon: I can't see how it could have anything to do with zlib | 22:54 |
freemangordon | zeq: run sunspider please. wothout OC and tell me the result | 22:54 |
Macer | ShadowJK: wow.. lots of history behind the dozen | 22:55 |
Macer | ah well. my flight is about to start boarding in about 10 minutes.. ttyl | 22:55 |
zeq | freemangordon: you might want to try enabling elfhack. It doesn't work with the qemu-arm-sb that comes with Gentoo scratchbox, I don't know if the same applies for you. | 22:55 |
zeq | freemangordon: ok | 22:55 |
freemangordon | elfhack? | 22:55 |
freemangordon | ~elfhack | 22:55 |

*** brzys has quit IRC | 23:01 | |
*** auenf has quit IRC | 23:01 | |
zeq | freemangordon: it's disabled explictily in mozconfig | 23:01 |
zeq | default is enabled | 23:02 |
zeq | (I think) | 23:02 |
freemangordon | ok, lemme check it | 23:03 |
*** hurbu has quit IRC | 23:03 | |
freemangordon | zeq: yes, ac_add_options --disable-elf-hack | 23:05 |
freemangordon | zeq: did you add that? | 23:05 |
vi_ | hillbillies and rednecks, I get it now. We use metric, base10 because we have 10 fingers, toes etc. Inbred hillbillies use base12 because of the extra fingers. | 23:05 |
zeq | It fails in my qemu | 23:05 |
freemangordon | ok, i'll try it here | 23:06 |
vi_ | < Macer> didn't the metric system come out before the US was reated? | 23:06 |
zeq | freemangordon: assuming my battery lasts sunspider is underway | 23:06 |
vi_ | there are bars in Edinburgh that are older than USA. | 23:06 |

zeq | :D | 23:09 |
zeq | merlin1991: thanks! :) | 23:09 |

freemangordon | zeq: but it seems to be a linker problem, not qemu | 23:16 |
freemangordon | could be wrog of course | 23:17 |
zeq | I thought that first of all, but last time I tried it I got an illegal instruction from qemu | 23:17 |
zeq | still could be binutils though | 23:17 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Macer: there's no SI equivalent for one hilbilly - it's inconvertible | 23:18 |
zeq | maybe we should use 2.22.5x.x? | 23:18 |
freemangordon | hmm, most probably we should use older binutils than newer | 23:19 |
zeq | 2.22 is what I'n using on my laptop | 23:19 |
freemangordon | anyway, I will leave that for now, lets see how is the performance with latest nightly | 23:19 |
zeq | 2.22.52.0.4.20120604 on my server LOL | 23:19 |
zeq | sunspider is running at the moment | 23:20 |

freemangordon | zeq: well, we'll compare compilers too that way :D | 23:22 |
*** hurbu has quit IRC | 23:23 | |
zeq | not too impressive | 23:23 |
freemangordon | ? | 23:23 |
zeq | @600Mhz 8565.7 | 23:23 |
freemangordon | hmm, it is even worse :( | 23:23 |
freemangordon | WTF? | 23:23 |
zeq | feels quite quick though | 23:24 |
freemangordon | no pint to compile it here | 23:24 |
zeq | :/ | 23:24 |
freemangordon | *point | 23:24 |
zeq | obviously some JIT engine "upgrade" | 23:24 |
zeq | Compiler probably wouldn't make much difference to jscript | 23:25 |
zeq | afterall it's a code generator itself | 23:25 |
zeq | it's not going to be the bottle-neck | 23:26 |
*** NIN101 has joined #maemo | 23:26 | |

zeq | yup | 23:29 |
freemangordon | i'll try to ping romaxa for some help on that issue | 23:30 |
zeq | ok | 23:30 |
vi_ | freemangordon: browserd is now using around half the RAM it did before. | 23:31 |
zeq | vi_: :) | 23:32 |
freemangordon | vi_: well, maybe 10-20% less :) | 23:32 |
vi_ | freemangordon: well for me browserd used to sit around 10-13% | 23:33 |
vi_ | Now it sits around 6% | 23:33 |
vi_ | which is great. | 23:33 |
vi_ | So great in fact I am dedicating this next beer to you. | 23:33 |
