*** jrocha has quit IRC01:00
DocScrutinizer05damn, how we loved our old decent trolls. And what we got now01:01
DocScrutinizer05:-S01:01
DocScrutinizer05youngsters with no clue what's diablo, but thinking they are peak of evolution of homo digitalis, and git the right to bitch on elders on whose shoulders they stand01:03
ShadowJKhello and good eveninf01:05
DocScrutinizer05hi ShadowJK my friend01:05
ShadowJKtbh, elders are pretty mouldy01:05
ShadowJKbut once in a while mould is useful01:05
DocScrutinizer05meanwhile they are. Got rotten by the bitching01:06
ShadowJKDocScrutinizer05; heard of a brewery called dortmunder hansa-brauerei?01:07
DocScrutinizer05if all maemo users were Asians, it'd be no problem. Asian culture got a sense of respect for ancestors and elders01:07
* ZogG_laptop is prepearing place for DocScrutinizer05 in the elder house :P01:08
DocScrutinizer05thanks, already got one01:09
ZogG_laptophow did i miss qwerty here01:09
ZogG_laptopi mean i was here when he was here01:09
ZogG_laptopbut i never knew all drama details01:10
DocScrutinizer05just waiting for my retirement in 5 years, to start straviing to death01:10
ShadowJKguys at $work just ordered a pallet of beer again. This time, by my influence, a german beer instead of a danish maize and sugar beer. :P01:10
ZogG_laptopDocScrutinizer05: why starving?01:10
ZogG_laptopmy fav is german01:10
ZogG_laptopt least one thing they do right :P01:11
ShadowJKretirement in 5 years? You're not grumpy and bitter enough to be that old01:11
ZogG_laptopDocScrutinizer05: today i was told german are still having nazi moods :P01:11
DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: maybe I missed  a "1"01:11
DocScrutinizer05;-P01:11
ZogG_laptopShadowJK: oh, he is bitter and grumpy enuf01:12
ZogG_laptopbut still young :P01:12
ShadowJKneed more sugar01:12
ShadowJKsweeten him right up01:12
DocScrutinizer05ZogG_laptop: some assholes got nazi mood. But not only in Germany01:12
* DocScrutinizer05 prefers ethanol to sugar today01:13
DocScrutinizer05enough of sugar in hitchcock orange juice and Bols blue01:14
ZogG_laptopDocScrutinizer05: they banned brit-mila (circumstaising - how do you spell it) in german i heard01:15
DocScrutinizer05yeah, funny01:15
*** chenca has quit IRC01:15
DocScrutinizer05next they ban earring hole punching01:15
ZogG_laptopi think it should be the start01:15
IkarusThey didn]t01:15
Ikarusban circumcision01:16
ZogG_laptopban earring hole punching... in penis01:16
DocScrutinizer05I don't care. nobody gonna cit anything off my body ;-P01:16
Ikarusthey just made it a proper voluntary medical procedure01:16
DocScrutinizer05cut*01:16
Ikarusie, only for 18+01:16
ZogG_laptopIkarus: i mean the actually not the process but religious roots of it01:16
IkarusZogG_laptop: religious roots luckily are irrelevant to the German courts01:16
ShadowJKI'm told "hansa export" costs 30c/.5l in german grocery store.. In this bulk order we got ... 24*.33 for 14E, or approx 90cent per .5 litre :)01:16
DocScrutinizer05religion is kinda madness in my book01:17
ZogG_laptopIkarus: there are jews there01:17
ShadowJKand still everyone is overjoyed01:17
IkarusZogG_laptop: so ?01:17
DocScrutinizer05so no empathy01:17
IkarusZogG_laptop: they are still German citizens or inhabitants01:17
ZogG_laptopIkarus: actually it's not healthy to do at 18+ and dangerous, that's why i decided not to01:17
IkarusZogG_laptop: no reason treating them different because they have an imaginary friend01:17
ZogG_laptopIkarus: yeah and? it's not about nationality but religion...01:17
ZogG_laptopbut again i don't really care01:18
ZogG_laptopit just depend on intentions01:18
DocScrutinizer05If you wanna cut off your children's clit or cock or whatever else, travel to your own coubtry where that maybe is accepted practice01:18
ZogG_laptopif it's banned just for more civil reasons i don't care01:18
IkarusZogG_laptop: circumcision is needlessly maiming a child01:18
Ikarusneedless from a medical perspective01:19
DocScrutinizer05country*01:19
IkarusDocScrutinizer05: Germany is considering making that illegal aswell now01:19
DocScrutinizer05that's again some bullshit idea01:19
ZogG_laptopIkarus: i disagree on medical part. a lot countries do that as it's more (what the word for clearness)01:19
IkarusZogG_laptop: only the USA and Japan do that01:20
Ikarusbased on very dodgy research01:20
Ikarusso not "a lot"01:20
ZogG_laptopIkarus: there are still unclear medical decision made for children01:20
DocScrutinizer05where I stopped counting? 3?01:20
Ikaruscutting into healthy children, not on my watch01:20
* DocScrutinizer05 heads to kitchen to prepsre another delicios longdrink01:21
ZogG_laptopIkarus: that's the point, the best age to do it is 8 days old :01:21
ZogG_laptop:P01:21
IkarusZogG_laptop: hence DON'T01:21
ZogG_laptopi wouldn't midn mine to be cut when i was 8 days old, but not now01:21
ZogG_laptopDocScrutinizer05: tea island?01:22

ZogG_laptopeven if i eat human meat i don't care untill 1)it's tasty 2)i don't know that01:39

kerioZogG_laptop: the point is not circumcision, the point is forcing a useless and **dangerous** medical procedure on a child09:25
keriogenital mutilation is definetely not a good thing09:26
kerioalso note that the ban doesn't prevent circumcision, even at a young age, for valid medical reasons09:26
kerioand it doesn't prevent circumcision on adults09:28

*** dhbiker has joined #maemo16:09
DocScrutinizer05hehe16:09
DocScrutinizer05but swap itself has limitations16:10
keriothe only thing that complains is the fucking image-viewer16:10
DocScrutinizer05quite some time since I investigated all this, but I recall limits both in size of single partition as well as in max number of partitions16:10
kerioi'm afraid 2gb will overflow too :c16:11
DocScrutinizer05and definitely large swap means huge tables resident in RAM which, at a certain turnaround point, negates the purpose of swap16:11
DocScrutinizer05there's a certain fixed ratio between size of swap space and size of stay-resident management tables16:13
DocScrutinizer05iirc16:13
DocScrutinizer05let's assume this ration is 100:1 (an arbitrary number I picked), then for 2GB swap you'll 'waste' 20MB of RAM16:14
DocScrutinizer05s/ration/ratio/16:14
infobotDocScrutinizer05 meant: let's assume this ratio is 100:1 (an arbitrary number I picked), then for 2GB swap you'll 'waste' 20MB of RAM16:14
DocScrutinizer05probably you also waste CPU cycles to manage that huge amount of swap16:15
kerioso i should just use a 1gb partition?16:15
keriothat sounds... small :c16:16
DocScrutinizer05and for sure you can't speed up IO bandwidth, so from a certain max size of swap you'll find device frozen in minutes of swap IO16:16
Ikarusurgh16:16
keriosurely you mean *used* swap there16:16
Ikarusswap trashing16:16
Ikarusone thing that needs to to be fixed on Linux16:17
kerioIkarus: fun fact: your n900 is *constantly* swap trashing16:17
DocScrutinizer05basically nowadays swap sizes >RAM*3 are useless16:17
Ikaruskerio: swap trashing means interactivity goes down the drain due to swap behaving16:17
Ikarusmost of the time my N900 doesn't get quite that far16:18
DocScrutinizer05back in times where swap was RAM*10 or even *20, it been considered acceptable when system stalls for several seconds when swapping. Main concern been to get jobs done at all16:18
DocScrutinizer05and systems been so slow it was basically irrelevant if a task needed 30min to terminate, or 5h (with massive swapping). As said above, main concern: it finishes at all eventually16:19
*** Hoolxi has joined #maemo16:20
kerio...wait, wtf16:20
DocScrutinizer05now you want "realtime" and this absolutely rules out huge swap sizes16:20
keriousb mass storage exports the whole sd?16:20
kerioi really hope the swap partition is somehow locked16:20
kerio:s16:20
DocScrutinizer05no, afaik MSM exports the first partition if that partition is VFAT16:21
keriowell, my os x is definetely aware that the uSD has three partitions16:21
DocScrutinizer05hmm, are you sure that's not 3 devices with no partition?16:22
keriotwo devices, one with a single vfat partition (mydocs), and another with three partitions, vfat and two linux swap16:23
DocScrutinizer05I *think* cssu ke-recv got patched to export all partitions on uSD16:23
DocScrutinizer05o.O16:23
kerios/all partitions on uSD/the uSD/16:23
keriooh, btw, i'm running cssu-devel now16:23
DocScrutinizer05hmm16:24
kerioi'm not sure g_file_storage can export more than two files16:24
DocScrutinizer05whatever, there's a script doing that. You may tweak it to meet your needs16:24
kerioso if you want to export more partitions, you have to export a whole device with a partition table16:24
DocScrutinizer05check /usr/sbin/osso-usb-mass-storage-enable.sh16:26
keriohm, it's not that i think16:26
keriothat's callable to export manually something16:26
kerioooh, g_file_storage has a way to export more than two devices16:27
kerioanyway, no, that script is called by something else to enable ass rage mode16:27
*** Krayon has joined #maemo16:27
DocScrutinizer05 /sbin/modprobe g_file_storage stall=0 luns=2 removable16:28
kerioyep16:28
DocScrutinizer05luns=<num-of-exported>16:28
DocScrutinizer05I think  /usr/sbin/osso-usb-mass-storage-enable.sh will be called by ke-recv, with phy device to export as parameter16:33
DocScrutinizer05for now it's built to get called max twice16:34
DocScrutinizer05first call exportsa to LUN0, second to LUN116:34
ShadowJKthe idea of using a ludicrously large swap partition isn't to have room for more apps running, device becomes mostly unusable at around 200-400M swap in use anyway. The idea is that it takes longer before 4g gets fragmented than it takes for 1g to get fragmented16:35
DocScrutinizer05actually a 3rd call will override the second16:35
DocScrutinizer05by redefining LUN1, aiui16:35
DocScrutinizer05dunno if it gets called by a events.d script, a init.d script, some helper script called by ke-recv or directly by ke-recv16:36
DocScrutinizer05seems /usr/sbin/ke-recv has a reference to /usr/sbin/osso-usb-mass-storage-enable.sh16:39
DocScrutinizer05so I assume it's called directly by ke-recv process16:40
DocScrutinizer05ask pali if you want to learn more, iirc he patched ke-recv16:40
kerioShadowJK: yeah but DocScrutinizer05 claims that a 4gb fragmented swap partition will take exactly 4gb worth of reads to be swapoffed16:42
*** sq-one has joined #maemo16:42
DocScrutinizer05I never said that16:43
DocScrutinizer05I said that due to fragmentation, your real amount of reads will be way more than the 'used' swap suggests16:44
DocScrutinizer05if you got one 512byte block used per MB of swap space, your swapoff will need to read in the page containing that 1MB for each block to swap in16:45
kerioanyway, you can stop complaining now16:46
DocScrutinizer05which, regarding read speed both on interface and on MMC internal controller, creates a significant overhead16:46
kerioi've got a 1gb partition16:46
kerioand besides, swapon is basically free, and ionice -c 3 nice swapoff should put absolutely no strain whatsoever on the system16:47
DocScrutinizer05o.O16:48
kerioalthough i'm not sure ionicing swapoff will help16:48
keriobecause well, it's a kernel thing16:48
DocScrutinizer05exactly16:54

DocScrutinizer05at least when you can live without that check17:35
keriohell yeah i can17:35
keriowell, now i don't know17:35
kerioi only have 1gb of swap17:36
DocScrutinizer05disabling the check it simple like flipping one bit in a compare condition17:36
kerioDocScrutinizer05: huh... not really17:36
DocScrutinizer05s/it/is17:36
kerioi want the check to succeed both times17:36
DocScrutinizer05yes17:36
kerionot only when there's "not enough ram" as it thinks17:36
DocScrutinizer05wut?17:36
keriowhich compare would you make there?17:37
DocScrutinizer05you want the check to take "not enough ram2 path no matter what the real situation?17:37
kerioit would have to be "lesser or greater or equal"17:37
kerioDocScrutinizer05: no, i want the check to take the other path :)17:37
DocScrutinizer05thought as much17:37
kerioregardless of ram17:38
*** mzanetti has quit IRC17:38
kerioso it's more than a bit17:38
DocScrutinizer05well, if the compare is "<0" now, you can change it to "=0"17:38
kerioit could be a byte or maybe two!17:38
kerioDocScrutinizer05: but what if you have exactly as much free ram as the threshold?17:38
kerio(modulo 4GiB)17:38
*** mzanetti has joined #maemo17:39
DocScrutinizer05of course you always can change the branch destination addr to point directly behind the branch17:39
DocScrutinizer05kerio: (exactly as much) then you're fsckd ;-P17:39
keriohell naw17:39
keriojust hope the correct branch is the one right below, and change that to a NOP17:39
kerioor, if it's not, change it to a JMP17:40
DocScrutinizer05yep17:40
DocScrutinizer05anyway it's simple17:40
DocScrutinizer05other possible fix would be to patch the system function that returns the free ram value17:41
DocScrutinizer05could even be done per LD_PRELOAD I think17:41
kerioi actually thought about that17:42
ShadowJKswapoff on fragmented space is mostly a cpu dominated operation, and then followed by the high command overhead. 4K chunks, only VAX used 512 :)17:42
DocScrutinizer05I guess the return value of that function is uint, while it's compared as a signed integer17:42
DocScrutinizer05so if MSB is set, it turns negative17:42
kerioDocScrutinizer05: 4gb would overflow anyway17:43

DocScrutinizer05hard to say, depends on a lot of preconditions18:19
*** Timmy has quit IRC18:20
DocScrutinizer05for the faster, you might find a CPU up to 1GHz I think, for RAM you have to see what you can get18:20
DocScrutinizer05then swap the whole chip, gifted SMD reworkers can probably do that with ~50% to 75% yield18:21
DocScrutinizer05after some practice18:21
DocScrutinizer05maybe 25% chances on the first few devices to undergo that rework18:22
*** Venemo_N9 has joined #maemo18:22
DocScrutinizer05I.E. calculate for 10 to 20 devices to practice, and you may find you established a maintainable and sustainable process18:22
DocScrutinizer05or not, if some unknown murphy effect strikes18:23
kerioDocScrutinizer05: you don't have a job right now, right?18:23
kerioi have a business proposal for you!18:23
DocScrutinizer05then you just need a source for the better chips, and the chips shouldn't be locked18:23

DocScrutinizer05if I had some 5..10k EUR to 'waste', I'd maybe consider it18:25

*** Hoolxi has quit IRC18:27

DocScrutinizer05or take the risk I won't find 30 customers willing to pay 200EUR for the rework, and lose my investment18:28

DocScrutinizer05of course that's a rough guesstimate method20:35

JZAhi unfortunately I kinda bricked my phone21:05

JZAI applied a patch and didnt reboot instead the thing just half ass boot21:05
kerioJZA: full reset, coldflash, reflash vanilla+combined21:05
keriooh, you just need the latest then21:05
kerio"bricked" is much harder than that21:06
kerioload rescueos and then undo the patch21:06
DocScrutinizer05dafaq, why coldflash?21:06
JZAkerio: well by half ass boot means I cant even see the screen21:06
kerioor maybe reboot without watchdogs (via rd flag)21:06
kerioDocScrutinizer05: he said bricked21:06
DocScrutinizer05he said "OMGitDoesNotWork!"21:06
JZAkerio: only my keys get light up, but I dont get any sort of prompt cant get on the wifi so I cant even remote access it21:07

DocScrutinizer05he could as well be a trolling kernel guru21:11
*** otep has quit IRC21:12
DocScrutinizer05he's asking "OMG, my device is bricked! it doesn't boot anymore" which, taking in account the further explanations, was already incorrect, since it boots but doesn't obviously finish to load hildon21:12
DocScrutinizer05kerio: if he had messed around with glibc or initscripts, he probably had mentioned that21:13
DocScrutinizer05JZA: reflashing will reset your rootfs, but (if you don't flash eMMC/VANILLA image, sth usually not necessary) it will keep your user data incl messages and call log and all21:14
DocScrutinizer05only thing you need to restore from backup are the applications themselves21:14
DocScrutinizer05backup restore offers an option to select what to restore. DO NOT restore your user data, it would reset the still living data to the state of your last backup21:15
DocScrutinizer05JZA: in any case *always* do a backup before you do any restore. So you can revert and possible damage done by restore, by restoring to the current backup you did21:16
DocScrutinizer05no restore without previous immediate backup, never!21:17

JZADocScrutinizer05: anyway I need to juice up the mobile first21:34
DocScrutinizer05JZA: (patch) _all_ that is already in stock maemo21:35
DocScrutinizer05by default21:35
DocScrutinizer05since Nokia engineers had same brilliant idea, you know ;-)21:35
DocScrutinizer05JZA: (juice up) does that mean your battery is low? if so, flashing may fail. You should be extremely careful about battery usage (even while charger plugged in it will still eat battery until you 'fixed' your problem!)21:38
JZAJZA: so what can I do?21:39
DocScrutinizer05test for battery (and other prerequisits for flashing): press and hold "u", plug in fastcharger, check if NOKIA screen with USB logo upper right is steady. If not, your battery is too weak21:40
DocScrutinizer05you'll need to get your battery charged by external charger or other means independant of N90021:40
DocScrutinizer05ooh, this test of course needs to be done on powered-down device21:41
DocScrutinizer05I.E. remove battery, reinsert battery, hold 'u', plug in charger21:41
DocScrutinizer05after test renove battery again immediately, to make sure it won't deplete21:42
DocScrutinizer05if device comes up with dim NOKIA screen but doesn't stay there with USB logo, then it's your battery that's too weak. If device doesn't come up at all, either your fastcharger or your battery or your USB receptacle is defect. OR you need a coldflash to restore NOLO bootloader (rarely ever needed)21:44
JZAwell this will take a while21:45
DocScrutinizer05I won't elaborate now on distinguishing between those different defects, unless you actually got that problem21:45
DocScrutinizer05JZA: removing and inserting battery, holding u and plugging in charger will take a while?21:46
DocScrutinizer05how so?21:46
DocScrutinizer05I can do all that in less than 60s21:46
JZAcharging the battery will take a while21:46

DocScrutinizer05'into'22:01
DocScrutinizer05never seen such thing22:01
trumeeDocScrutinizer05: yeah, why that doesnt exist22:01
DocScrutinizer05you *might* find USB hubs that have a micro-USB receptacle for upstream and normal F USB ports downstrem, _and_ no switched power on downstream22:02
DocScrutinizer05(why) it's quite uncommon usecase22:02
DocScrutinizer05still I fail to understand why you need that22:03
DocScrutinizer05"because my nokia charger doesnt work directly with N900" suggests no adapter will help22:04
nox-i guess his n900 usb port is just `marginal' and only works with `some' plugs22:04

DocScrutinizer05also make sure you haven't introduced sw reasons for charging to fail22:07
trumeeDocScrutinizer05: no that is the behaviour with stock flashed. i have checked that22:08
trumeeDocScrutinizer05: there are tips available for powermonkey including a USB, but expensive. https://powertraveller.com/iwantsome/spares/000227/22:08
DocScrutinizer05if actually usb receptacle has poor contacts, often it helps to carefully retract the plug 0.5 .. 1mm from receptacle to make the contacts work again22:08
DocScrutinizer05trumee: sorry I have no better advice to help you out of your pinch22:09
DocScrutinizer05well, one maybe: try charge21.sh of shadowjk, it doesn't need the D+/- short to do proper charging22:10
*** jrocha has quit IRC22:11
DocScrutinizer05so if the contact problem is with D+/- and not with +5V or GND, then charge21.sh should still charge, while bme won't22:12

trumeebecause i want to use the powermonkey battery pack which only has a microusb tip22:58
trumeeat home i am using a USB fast charger as you have suggested22:58
trumeealso, in the car i have a DC-10 adaptor which again has a microusb tip22:59
DocScrutinizer05I still doubt an extender of any complexity reliably will fix the (yet unknown) issue22:59
DocScrutinizer05battery packs usually need some way to enable the regulator in them. It's either done by a switch, or by plugging in the cable, or by the cable getting plugged to a device and somehow the battery pack detects that condition (by monitoring ID pin level, or data line levels)23:01
DocScrutinizer05my silly little battery pack here abuses ID pin of the mini-USB receptacle to detect plug in of any of the 10 charger cables it came with23:02

DocScrutinizer05actually I think it delivers 5V out on ID23:03
DocScrutinizer05while it uses VBUS to charge internal battery23:03
DocScrutinizer05the powermonkey might even try to detect short between sleeve and GND pin to sense plugin to a device23:04
trumeeis it possible to open-up CA-146C and remove the circuit?23:05
DocScrutinizer05yes23:05
DocScrutinizer05a tad hard (I think it's tightly glued) but possible. I did it23:05
trumeebecause i dont need the circuit. N900 is happy with CA-146C receptacle23:06
trumeeso i will need to do any soldering to remove and shot the wires?23:06

trumee*remove circuit23:06
DocScrutinizer05yes23:06
DocScrutinizer05the two barrel receptacles are spring loaded contact type, so stay in case conveniently when PCB gets removed23:07
DocScrutinizer05but you need to solder the wires of the plug to one of them springs23:08
DocScrutinizer05plus I think you will have to extend the wires, as they are probably too short to reach to the barrel receptacles23:09
trumeethanks23:11
DocScrutinizer05maybe not worth the effort?23:11
trumeeyes, seems so :)23:11
DocScrutinizer05for a guessed anticipated loss of 20%, that easily might be less when running with 5V proper input23:12
trumeeyeah, maybe ok. i will do a field test while travelling :)23:13
DocScrutinizer05rule of thumb: if it doesn't get warm, then the loss is small23:13
DocScrutinizer05sorry for playing captain obvious23:14
