Hurrian | kerio, by "erased", do you mean zeroed, or simply marked as free? | 00:06 |
---|---|---|
kerio | Hurrian: by "erased" i mean erased | 00:11 |
kerio | it has a precise meaning, when talking about MTDs | 00:11 |
Hurrian | ah, right. | 00:12 |
Hurrian | you may want to look up UBIFS erase behavior | 00:13 |
*** sq-one has quit IRC | 00:15 | |
Hurrian | iirc jffs2 erases simply mark the volume as empty to save on writes | 00:15 |
kerio | Hurrian: nah, i'm talking about a raw flash_eraseall | 00:19 |
ShadowJK | You can't rewrite flash, it has to be erased first. Erasing is slow, so ubi and jffs2 would do it in advance if they get the chance. | 00:20 |
ShadowJK | Also, zeroed is the exact opposite of erased :) | 00:21 |
ShadowJK | When erased it'd be all ones, then when writing the 1s you dont want to stick are zeroed | 00:21 |

DocScrutinizer05 | FIQ: SpeedEvil: or a good shot of X-rays | 00:26 |
FIQ | ? | 00:26 |
DocScrutinizer05 | kerio: depends - usually not | 00:26 |
DocScrutinizer05 | FIQ: ((<FIQ> I wonder how they do that if they find the problem unfixable (in their eyes))) | 00:27 |
FIQ | hmm ok | 00:27 |
DocScrutinizer05 | flash is basically glorified oldfashined EPROM | 00:28 |
FIQ | eeprom*? | 00:28 |
DocScrutinizer05 | still info bits are some 1000 electrons sitting on an isolated pad of aluminium in SiO2 | 00:28 |
DocScrutinizer05 | FIQ: I intentionally left out the E for "Electrically" | 00:29 |
FIQ | oki | 00:29 |
DocScrutinizer05 | before EEPROM there been EPROM which had a glass window to erase with UV | 00:29 |
DocScrutinizer05 | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Eprom.jpg | 00:30 |
nox- | how is flash erased if not electrically? | 00:31 |
DocScrutinizer05 | obviously for erasure via xray you don't need a glass window | 00:31 |
*** shanttu has quit IRC | 00:31 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | nox-: via xray, as mentioned above | 00:31 |
nox- | well i mean normally :) | 00:31 |
DocScrutinizer05 | normally you erase it electrically | 00:32 |
nox- | ok | 00:32 |
DocScrutinizer05 | that "flash" | 00:32 |
nox- | <DocScrutinizer05> FIQ: I intentionally left out the E for "Electrically" | 00:32 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it's basically a high voltage that jumps over the isolating SiO2 | 00:32 |
nox- | i c | 00:32 |
DocScrutinizer05 | nox-: read context | 00:33 |
nox- | i guess im too tired... | 00:33 |
nox- | but its not important :) | 00:34 |
DocScrutinizer05 | <DocScrutinizer05> flash is basically glorified oldfashined EPROM <FIQ> eeprom*? <DocScrutinizer05> FIQ: I intentionally left out the E for "Electrically" | 00:34 |
nox- | ok why did you leave out the first e? | 00:34 |
FIQ | seems you like to hl me :D | 00:34 |
DocScrutinizer05 | since my suggestion been to erase it via xray | 00:34 |
nox- | oh haha | 00:34 |
ShadowJK | nox-, eprom had window, you shined strong Ultraviolet light at it. Then they invented way to erase it electrically, and it became known as eeprom. | 00:35 |
nox- | yes i know... | 00:35 |
*** brzys has joined #maemo | 00:36 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | FIQ: btw this suggestion been not honest, since you'd for sure ruin the device with hard xray, since it erases *all* flash end other EPROM | 00:37 |
DocScrutinizer05 | there are several of those in N900, and some are not recoverable | 00:37 |
nox- | :) | 00:38 |
FIQ | er, it's not like i'll test anything of this :p | 00:38 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and then there's also elctret mic which also gets depolarized | 00:38 |
SpeedEvil | that's in the headpiece | 00:39 |
DocScrutinizer05 | if you're really interested, I might look up max allowable keV and REM for the electret mic in FreeRunner ;-D | 00:39 |
SpeedEvil | the one on board is a digital mems mic | 00:39 |
SpeedEvil | IIRC | 00:39 |
DocScrutinizer05 | do you suggest that one has no dielectric polarized mambrane? | 00:40 |
kerio | DocScrutinizer05: so... is it possible to recover an erased block in a NAND? | 00:40 |
DocScrutinizer05 | kerio: as already mentioned, usually not | 00:40 |
SpeedEvil | DocScrutinizer05: IIRC not | 00:40 |
SpeedEvil | but I haven't properly looked | 00:40 |
SpeedEvil | I wish I could do failure analysis on the one on my nexus 7, but it makes more sense to return it | 00:41 |
DocScrutinizer05 | they might use active capaqcitor, they got some osc anyway | 00:41 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so no need for electret | 00:42 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but that's only speculation | 00:42 |
SpeedEvil | (mic failed) | 00:43 |
DocScrutinizer05 | iirc at least SoC has mask PROM, so that one should be safe re X-ray | 00:43 |
DocScrutinizer05 | BT, WLAN, ALS... all that are an entirely different story | 00:44 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and probably you should do a CAL-dump prior to exposing your N900 to a good x-ray shot, anyway | 00:45 |

trumee | ah, nokia messaging doesnt display Received and Sent dates on clicking "Message details", which it does for imap client | 02:00 |
DocScrutinizer05 | the latter possibly found in file properties of that mail | 02:01 |

DocScrutinizer05 | could you forward full msg to a more versatile mailer? | 02:02 |
DocScrutinizer05 | obviously this will discard/miss the local properties like mdate of file | 02:03 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but header info should stay intact | 02:03 |

gry | Hurrian, thanks, I'm trying to run some sort of emulation platform, such as a virtual machines do. | 04:42 |
gry | Hurrian, I had maemo SDK installed at a point, I don't remember how it worked but it had files in random places such as /scratchbox, and was not easy to delete; I'd prefer something that's easy to delete, like a virtual machine | 04:44 |
Hurrian | unzip that file you just downloaded, and run it in vmware. | 04:44 |
Hurrian | make a snapshot so you can clean up nice and easy. | 04:45 |

*** radic has quit IRC | 05:37 | |
robbiethe1st | Already did as well | 05:39 |
robbiethe1st | I answered honestly. Which probably means I'll get excluded, if they exclude anyone not putting ubuntu | 05:40 |
robbiethe1st | One would hope they understand that linux users with experience can switch between distros, or figure things out with a lack of support. | 05:40 |
wmarone | I'm pretty sure they are aware of it, and expect that a bunch of people answered with one of the options and will take it to fedora/arch right away | 05:41 |
wmarone | but | 05:41 |
wmarone | they aren't really looking for that at the moment | 05:42 |
robbiethe1st | I'll be interested to see how it comes out. If I get included, I will sing valve's praise. If not, I will post angry messages on the forum and complain mightily! | 05:43 |
robbiethe1st | I'm hoping they also look at wine usage, and corrilate it to actual wine data from Steam. | 05:44 |
*** hardaker has joined #maemo | 05:44 | |

FIQ | please make untar ignore timestamp issues | 06:01 |
robbiethe1st | It does. | 06:01 |
robbiethe1st | But it shows up as errors anyway, doesn't do any harm. | 06:01 |
FIQ | then why did it spew out thousends of errors on me and break my rootfs? | 06:01 |
FIQ | *broke | 06:01 |
robbiethe1st | It will spew out errors - that's just a listing of stderr. But it's set to ignore most all errors - go check the source for the exact tar options used | 06:02 |
robbiethe1st | Why do you think it broke your rootfs? | 06:02 |
robbiethe1st | Did you stop it before it was complete? | 06:02 |
FIQ | because it made a fine bootable device unbootable | 06:03 |
FIQ | not at all | 06:03 |
robbiethe1st | OK, and what kernel were you using? | 06:03 |
FIQ | it said that it was complete in big nice green text | 06:03 |
FIQ | powerkernel | 06:03 |
*** DocScrutinizer05 has quit IRC | 06:03 | |
*** DocScrutinizer05 has joined #maemo | 06:03 | |
robbiethe1st | Did the backup you were restoring have the same kernel as currently flashed to the device? | 06:04 |
FIQ | hmmmmmm | 06:04 |
FIQ | let me think | 06:04 |
robbiethe1st | If you've got a different kernel running - flashed to the kernel partition - the backup won't have kernel modules for it | 06:04 |
FIQ | no | 06:04 |
robbiethe1st | therefor, no booting | 06:04 |
robbiethe1st | One way to check, use flasher to flash /only the stock kernel/ | 06:04 |
FIQ | ok that's understandable | 06:04 |
robbiethe1st | If it boots, great. | 06:05 |
FIQ | i can't flash, (barely) broken microUSB | 06:05 |
FIQ | i'll go to a repair shop and solve that problem | 06:05 |
FIQ | then I'll be able to do stuff with it | 06:05 |
robbiethe1st | Yeah. | 06:05 |
robbiethe1st | But if it's not the kernel, that's weird - I /generally/ have no issues, and rarely see complaints | 06:05 |
FIQ | however the problem came up as very erratic | 06:06 |
FIQ | like half of the things still work, most doesn't | 06:06 |
robbiethe1st | Did you flash the optfs as well? | 06:06 |
FIQ | hm | 06:06 |
robbiethe1st | Because all of your app's files are stored on there | 06:06 |
FIQ | I don't *think* so, but I'm not sure | 06:06 |
robbiethe1st | rootfs has main OS, and some binaries, plus symlinks to most apps | 06:07 |
robbiethe1st | which are on the opt/home fs | 06:07 |
FIQ | yeah I know what they're used for pretty much | 06:07 |
FIQ | but I can't see what difference flashing optfs would make in my case | 06:07 |
FIQ | bootmenu crashes after 5s of idle (probably watchdog issue), maemo doesn't boot at all, backupmenu crashes unless I press keys during startup (then it gives a "watchdog not found" error), and menu options mostly doesn't work (though they respond fine) | 06:08 |
robbiethe1st | It'd only be a real issue if your current apps are different from the old apps | 06:08 |
robbiethe1st | Well, that's interesting | 06:08 |
robbiethe1st | I wonder if that's a kernel issue... | 06:08 |
FIQ | I tried to re-restore the thing, but I cannot mount eMMC properly now | 06:08 |
FIQ | it told me to run fsck (pretty sure it wouldn't change things, but it didn't work anyway - "fsck.ext2: No such file or directory") | 06:09 |
robbiethe1st | So you've got no fsck on the rootfs | 06:09 |
robbiethe1st | wow, could the backup have gotten corrupted/been incomplete? | 06:09 |
FIQ | root shell just gave me a black screen, though it *always* did (even when things were working fine) | 06:09 |
FIQ | i'm pretty sure that's not the case, unless "Completed successfully!" (or whatever the text is) isn't certain | 06:10 |
FIQ | also wouldn't that also make restore impossible? | 06:10 |
robbiethe1st | Well, what that knows is that tar completed successfully | 06:10 |
robbiethe1st | whether the backup is complete or is what you actually want... no real way to tell | 06:11 |
FIQ | DocScrutinizer05 thought it was because of a bug in which backupmenu didn't tar without ignoring timestamp, which means that everything that didn't have a time of 0 failed | 06:11 |
robbiethe1st | all it's doing is running simple shell commands, basically | 06:11 |
FIQ | s/time/last changed time/ | 06:11 |
infobot | FIQ meant: DocScrutinizer05 thought it was because of a bug in which backupmenu didn't tar without ignoring last changed timestamp, which means that everything that didn't have a time of 0 failed | 06:11 |
*** nox- has quit IRC | 06:11 | |
robbiethe1st | It shouldn't. | 06:11 |
robbiethe1st | Check the source actually | 06:11 |
robbiethe1st | the file you're looking for is /usr/share/BackupMenu/BackupMenu.item - shell script | 06:12 |
robbiethe1st | look for 'gtar' lines. | 06:12 |
robbiethe1st | Hm, can you mount anything via USB? | 06:12 |
robbiethe1st | Dinnertime. Be back soon. | 06:13 |
FIQ | sorry, but when I check the source, I see no trace of a "ignore timestamp", though my knowledge of gtar might just be limited | 06:14 |
FIQ | gtar p"$backupRootCompress"cf $backupRootLocation ./ --ignore-failed-read --numeric-owner --exclude=./tmp/* 2> /tmp/tarstatus & pid=$! <-- is the line | 06:14 |
*** Jaded has quit IRC | 06:16 | |
FIQ | no... | 06:16 |
FIQ | I checked manpage quickly, the options given seems to be unrelated to that | 06:16 |
FIQ | possible that --ignore-failed-read ignores mtime though, so you might be correct | 06:18 |
*** hardaker has quit IRC | 06:19 | |
FIQ | oh well, I can't really diagnose anything at the moment due to microUSB problems, as said | 06:19 |
FIQ | Ok, I can see that a modified kernel would make Maemo unbootable. | 06:20 |
FIQ | er, different kernel between restore and pre-restore | 06:20 |
FIQ | I can *not* however see why that would broke backupmenu as horrible as it did (or bootmenu for that matter, which doesn't even use the kernel pre-boot) | 06:21 |

robbiethe1st | FIQ, I can't give you too much help with regards to the screwed-up restore; only thing I can suggest is doing a diff of your backup image(if you have a copy elsewhere) against a previous backup or another person's. | 07:04 |
FIQ | i'll see what I can do once i can reflash and boot the device (as it's all on eMMC etc) | 07:04 |
robbiethe1st | Yeah | 07:06 |
robbiethe1st | Um, check the thread. There's an old 'bootstrap' rootfs image you can try | 07:06 |

kerio | While this was running, /sys/class/power_supply/bq24150-0/status said "Charging". I'd guess that this is not quite true. The N900 was receiving power but not enough to run the N900 and the battery was emptying. /sys/class/power_supply/bq24150-0/charge_current says "1750". What does that mean? I doubt that it means that the N900 is receiving 1750 mA. | 14:31 |

DocScrutinizer05 | i'm eager to test MLO on uSD, what's been the exact requirements? VFAT partition, MLO.*? on \ ? | 20:20 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I mean, dd if=dev/NOLO of=MyDocs/MLO.bin would be a start | 20:20 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I'd expect boot to fail and freeze on that | 20:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Pali: freemangordon: ^^^ | 20:21 |

*** qwazix has quit IRC | 20:26 | |
kerio | DocScrutinizer05: i'd guess MBR and the first partition formatted as vfat | 20:29 |
DocScrutinizer05 | kerio: nope, a file called MLO | 20:29 |
kerio | DocScrutinizer05: no, i mean | 20:29 |
kerio | MLO.bin in the first vfat partition of the MBR | 20:29 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sure I guess it will look for MBR to get partiton table to learn what's first partition | 20:30 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and the file is "MLO" in root, not "MLO.bin" | 20:30 |

DocScrutinizer05 | so if that's true and I'm not mistaken, you *can't* coldflash a working xloader+NOLO - or could you? | 20:39 |
kerio | USB is coldflash? | 20:39 |
DocScrutinizer05 | well, xloader still might check USB before chainloading existing NOLO | 20:39 |
kerio | DocScrutinizer05: remember the nandtester | 20:40 |
kerio | he had no xloader | 20:40 |
*** eMHa__ has joined #maemo | 20:40 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | kerio: yep, that's pretty easily the reason why he could coldflash | 20:40 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ROMBL didn't find a valid xloader in NAND, so listened to ZSB for coldflashing | 20:41 |
DocScrutinizer05 | USB* | 20:41 |
kerio | hm | 20:41 |
kerio | DocScrutinizer05: so we *are* set, if we find a way to boot from uSD | 20:42 |
DocScrutinizer05 | hmm? | 20:42 |
kerio | oh no wait, there's still a problem | 20:42 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Boot order: OneNAND USB UART3 MMC1 -- | 20:42 |
kerio | it only goes to mmc1 if it can't load the nand xloader | 20:42 |
DocScrutinizer05 | yep, exactly | 20:43 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and what xloader does, this is a completely different story then | 20:43 |

DocScrutinizer05 | cp $whatever /media/mmc1/u-boot.bin | 20:48 |
DocScrutinizer05 | might be worth a try | 20:48 |
DocScrutinizer05 | >>In the case of loading the u-boot via the SD card, the SD card x-loader looks for a FAT32 partition on the first MMC controller and scans the top level directory for a file named "u-boot.bin". It then transfers the file into main memory and transfers control to it.<< | 20:48 |
*** hazchemix has quit IRC | 20:48 | |
kerio | ...huh, i have an u-boot.bin on my MyDocs | 20:49 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so I guess 'our' xloader doesn't do that | 20:49 |
*** mrtank_n9 has joined #maemo | 20:50 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | it might look at USB for somebody trying to coldflash NOLO, and load 2nd NOLO from there into RAM, but it probably won't look at MMC1 for u-boot.bin | 20:50 |
kerio | :( | 20:51 |
Pali | DocScrutinizer05, colflashing is done via USB peripherla booting | 20:51 |
Pali | and usb peripheral booting is done *before* omap booting | 20:51 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sorry? | 20:52 |
Pali | so you can cold flash | 20:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | what's omap booting? | 20:52 |
Pali | I mean booting from above your list | 20:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | what's usb peripheral booting | 20:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | the above list tells where ROMBL looks for xloader/MLO | 20:53 |
*** geaaru has quit IRC | 20:53 | |
kerio | what's MLO? | 20:53 |
DocScrutinizer05 | once xloader got loaded, it again has some list (of possibly only one source) where to look for NOLO | 20:53 |
DocScrutinizer05 | kerio: another name for xloader | 20:54 |
Pali | DocScrutinizer05, bootrom first check if there is omap asic message sent from usb | 20:54 |
Pali | if yes then it wait for another message via usb | 20:54 |
Pali | if no then bootrom booting from list | 20:54 |
DocScrutinizer05 | oooh | 20:54 |
Pali | and one message is "wait for boot image via usb" and boot it | 20:55 |
DocScrutinizer05 | wtf is this specified now? | 20:55 |
Pali | USB in that boot order is booting from usb device | 20:55 |
Pali | via host mode | 20:55 |
DocScrutinizer05 | WUT? | 20:55 |
Pali | (but this is not working on n900) | 20:55 |
DocScrutinizer05 | that's not what I think ROMBL can do | 20:56 |
Pali | yes, omap boot rom can do it | 20:56 |
DocScrutinizer05 | boot xloader from assrage device??? | 20:56 |
Pali | omap bootrom can boot xloader from nand, onenand, mmc, usb flash, ... | 20:56 |
Pali | look into trm | 20:57 |
DocScrutinizer05 | usb FLASH? | 20:57 |
DocScrutinizer05 | duh | 20:57 |

DocScrutinizer05 | Pali: I only see "/* Omap HS USB boot message */" in this 0xffff source you linked me to, and that's what I see as well in e.g. "26.4.5 Peripheral Booting" in TRM. AIUI it's waiting for image to get sent via USB "plaintext", not mounting a USB mass storage device and load some file from there | 21:22 |
DocScrutinizer05 | that's pretty much what we expect to see for coldflashing | 21:23 |
*** ALo has joined #maemo | 21:24 | |

*** Zahra has quit IRC | 21:27 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | Pali: so in the end I don't see why we could make ROMBL load xloader from USB - with "Boot order: OneNAND USB UART3 MMC1 -- " - when xloader in NAND is succeeding for "try to load" | 21:28 |
Pali | DocScrutinizer05, ok | 21:30 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I'd be happy to learn I missed something, or that maybe output of ./omap34xx-boot-order was incorrect | 21:31 |
DocScrutinizer05 | for now it seems to me there's no way to override a working xloader in OneNAND - which otoh makes quite some sense | 21:32 |
*** Zahra has joined #maemo | 21:33 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | you can't nuke xloader without booting device, and you can't boot device in a way not meant to be valid by xloader | 21:33 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so in that regard the device is tamper-proof | 21:34 |

kerio | DocScrutinizer05: tamper-proof as long as you don't have a computer and a usb cable handy | 21:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | kerio: exactly NOT | 21:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | since you can't stop ROMBL from loading and executing OneNAND xloader by any means, other than destructing the OneNAND based xloader, on a power-on-reset boot | 21:48 |
*** muelli has joined #maemo | 21:49 | |

DocScrutinizer05 | btw time window for polling USB is 300ms, if anybody is interested | 21:51 |
kerio | DocScrutinizer05: so what happens if xloader is fine but NOLO is borked? | 21:51 |
DocScrutinizer05 | that depends on xloader | 21:51 |
kerio | the current xloader | 21:52 |
kerio | the one signed by nokia | 21:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | yep | 21:52 |
kerio | no, i mean, what does it do if NOLO is borked? | 21:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | that depends on xloader | 21:52 |
kerio | DocScrutinizer05: so you don't know? | 21:53 |
DocScrutinizer05 | since "it" == xloader in your question | 21:53 |
DocScrutinizer05 | no, I don't know since I haven't disassembled xloader yet | 21:54 |
kerio | i thought somebody had tried it by now | 21:54 |
kerio | ...but ofc if there's no way to recover... | 21:54 |
DocScrutinizer05 | you probably could tell from your PCs syslog, watching for xloader ENUM after ROMBL ENUM | 21:55 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I still have to investigate and sync the data from syslog with my above reasoning | 21:56 |
DocScrutinizer05 | actually for poor _lena this aren't exactly good news | 21:57 |
kerio | who was that again? | 21:58 |
DocScrutinizer05 | the girl which had a failing flashing-procedure | 21:58 |

DocScrutinizer05 | and even failing NOLO bat test | 21:58 |

DocScrutinizer05 | I know a few, but my good times are long gone ;-D | 22:05 |

*** Timo has joined #maemo | 22:24 | |
Pali | I thought too | 22:24 |
Pali | I need to know more about it | 22:24 |
DocScrutinizer05 | for some very strange reason google doesn't yield any hits for "AT+CSRSF" | 22:24 |
DocScrutinizer05 | If I had to guess, I'd suspect something along extended functions on headset, like number display, voice-dialing, whatnot | 22:25 |
DocScrutinizer05 | well, probably that's what HFP means ;-P | 22:26 |
Pali | DocScrutinizer05, I have 4 buttons on headset and they working without problem (both n900 and notebook) | 22:27 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Pali: so what did you say, who is spamming that AT+CSRSF string ? | 22:28 |
Pali | my bluetooth headset | 22:29 |
DocScrutinizer05 | o.O | 22:29 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I'd ignore that then | 22:29 |
Pali | everytime when I connect it | 22:29 |
Pali | yes I'm ignoring it, but I'd like to know what is my bluetootj headset trying to tell me... | 22:29 |
DocScrutinizer05 | probably it's just checking some special function of e.g. cryPhone or whatever | 22:29 |
DocScrutinizer05 | since the command returns error on PNATD it will fall back to more generic methods to achieve wahtever it needs to do | 22:30 |
DocScrutinizer05 | maybe the headset would offer several codecs that the modem can digest natively, and thus avoid transcoding from e.g mp3 to pcm in SoC/APE | 22:32 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Apple/whoever might have implemented such function to save some energy | 22:33 |
Pali | from "AT + CSRSF = %d:callerName , %d:rawText , %d:smsInd , %d:battLevel , %d:pwrSource , %d:codecs" I understand that my "AT+CSRSF=0,0,0,0,0,7" is name, text, sms, batt, pwr are unsupported (0) and codecs=7 | 22:34 |

DocScrutinizer05 | eeeeeeek! some work sztarting with 2g" | 23:07 |
DocScrutinizer05 | dang | 23:07 |
DocScrutinizer05 | eeeeeeek! some word starting with "g" | 23:07 |
*** vi__ has joined #maemo | 23:07 | |
ccssnet | kerio: i still havent used it so ill get around to it | 23:07 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ~buntkuh | 23:08 |
infobot | methinks buntkuh is http://xkcd.com/424/ ... Redmond, or http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holstein-Rind | 23:08 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and gnome being the perfect match for that | 23:09 |
DocScrutinizer05 | >>ubuntu: it turns out the distro is just a win-xp with some custom themes" | 23:09 |
DocScrutinizer05 | << | 23:10 |
Lava_Croft | it says Vista specifically | 23:10 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ooh vista | 23:10 |
Lava_Croft | xp is too lightweight to be ubuntu | 23:10 |
DocScrutinizer05 | indeed | 23:10 |
DocScrutinizer05 | my bad | 23:11 |
DocScrutinizer05 | probably related to the fact that my experience with vista is ~40min so far | 23:11 |
*** vi__ has quit IRC | 23:12 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | and those 40min been helping neighbour to install that crap | 23:12 |
ShadowJK | it's funny, vista still doesn't run ok with today's hw. | 23:12 |
Lava_Croft | my experience is wondering why 32bit vista was installed on my wife's 64bit laptop | 23:12 |
Lava_Croft | which flowed into the experience which is kind of like "Why is this computer moving like as if stuck in a mixture of hubba bubba and marmite" | 23:13 |
Lava_Croft | then i installed win7 64bit and all was solved | 23:13 |
DocScrutinizer05 | never touched win7 | 23:13 |
DocScrutinizer05 | literally | 23:13 |
Lava_Croft | win7 is easily, hand down, the best windows version ever made | 23:14 |
ShadowJK | they usually didnt install 64 bit on machines with less ram, and also it was unclear whether adobe flash would work on 64bit. | 23:14 |
DocScrutinizer05 | doesn't mean much to me | 23:14 |
ShadowJK | Nah I like XP, not as heavy :-) | 23:14 |
Lava_Croft | but XP is very insecure | 23:14 |
Lava_Croft | and old | 23:14 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I hate all redmond crap, no matter which version or name | 23:14 |
Lava_Croft | i dont hate software, thats silly to me | 23:14 |
Lava_Croft | i use windows because i like games and games like windows | 23:15 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ooh, then you've never been forced to use crappy software | 23:15 |
DocScrutinizer05 | otherwise you'd have learnt to hate it | 23:15 |
ShadowJK | Well it's not like I'd browse the interwebs with xp | 23:15 |
Lava_Croft | crappy software in general is not MS's fault | 23:15 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I mean MS's software, actually | 23:16 |
Lava_Croft | and i've been using windows since 5.25inch 2.0 floppies :< | 23:16 |
Lava_Croft | win7 is a dream compared to the days of 95/98 | 23:16 |
Lava_Croft | the problem with most linux folks and windows is that most linux folks go around windows, looking for linux stuff they can relate to | 23:16 |
DocScrutinizer05 | linux is a dream _since_ the days I abandoned win95 | 23:16 |
Lava_Croft | once they find out its mostly not there, they conclude it must suck | 23:16 |
DocScrutinizer05 | prior to that time it been too heavy for my machines | 23:17 |
Lava_Croft | since it lacks linux feature X or Y, or whatever program they always use | 23:17 |
Lava_Croft | i use whats best for the job, and for games thats windows | 23:17 |
Lava_Croft | for most other stuff thats lunix | 23:17 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I'm no gamer | 23:18 |
Lava_Croft | then you probably dont need windows, unless forced to by your employer:) | 23:18 |
DocScrutinizer05 | exactly, the latter | 23:18 |
DocScrutinizer05 | :-/ | 23:18 |
kerio | *and for games windows sucks but it's the only OS they make games for | 23:18 |
Lava_Croft | but in 2012, windows isnt as bad as it was in the 90s | 23:18 |
DocScrutinizer05 | not even have admin rights | 23:18 |
Lava_Croft | or in the days of vista | 23:18 |
DocScrutinizer05 | my employer thinks XP is it | 23:19 |
Lava_Croft | kerio: thats just speculation | 23:19 |
DocScrutinizer05 | real fun to plug in a MX Revolution mouse and admin tells me "sorry dude, we're not going to install that driver for you, so you could use horizontal scroll" | 23:20 |
Lava_Croft | thats the fault of your sysop | 23:20 |
Lava_Croft | :) | 23:20 |
DocScrutinizer05 | tell me how to not hate windows and all that's related | 23:21 |
Lava_Croft | you can do the same silly shit on linux | 23:21 |
Lava_Croft | but nobody would claim linux sucks then | 23:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sure you could | 23:21 |
ccssnet | go to your happy place. | 23:21 |
Lava_Croft | instead they would say WFM | 23:21 |
Lava_Croft | and come up with whatever excuse that does apply to linux, but magically will not apply to wintoons | 23:21 |
Lava_Croft | or osx | 23:21 |
*** sirdancealot7 has quit IRC | 23:21 | |
Lava_Croft | been around poor linux lover for too long now to not feel sorry for the linux lovers :< | 23:22 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I say windows sucks since it has no resizable windows way too often, cramming some readme or whatever ito a 120*180 pixel "notifier" | 23:22 |
ccssnet | lol | 23:22 |
Lava_Croft | if a readme is crammed in a tiny notifier, thats not windows' fault | 23:22 |
Lava_Croft | but the fault of whoever made the notifier | 23:22 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it IS windows' fault | 23:22 |
Lava_Croft | you would never use this example in relation to linux, since for linux you would blame the person who mde the notifier | 23:22 |
ccssnet | 120x180 buffer window for a EULA or related is a scam artist move... | 23:23 |
Lava_Croft | but like i said, been around linux folks for a while now | 23:23 |
Lava_Croft | loving linux is like loving jesus | 23:23 |
Lava_Croft | so for normal people like me, its useless to discuss;) | 23:23 |
DocScrutinizer05 | a) it's made by microsoft for half of the annoying notifiers, and b) windows does allow such non-resizable windows, while on X I always could tweak windows properties to force resizing | 23:23 |
DocScrutinizer05 | s/eak windows/eak the window's / | 23:25 |
infobot | DocScrutinizer05 meant: a) it's made by microsoft for half of the annoying notifiers, and b) windows does allow such non-resizable windows, while on X I always could tweak the window's properties to force resizing | 23:25 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and c) the documentation: on linux it's free and readily available (though sometimes really abyssmal), on MS Windows you could either join MSDN premium menbership, or by books for $$$ | 23:27 |
DocScrutinizer05 | buy* | 23:27 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I haven't yet mentioned the OSS property of linux, that allows me to find my way around and even fix things, even without any documantation at all | 23:28 |
Lava_Croft | fun game for normal people | 23:30 |
DocScrutinizer05 | while Windows is like... an an "OS" based on a closed source wayland as central building block of whole system, rather than a kernel | 23:30 |
Lava_Croft | replace the word linux with either jesus or god | 23:30 |
Lava_Croft | and have a blast as a random linux lover starts his monologue | 23:30 |
DocScrutinizer05 | :shrug: | 23:31 |
Lava_Croft | in other words: its wasted on me, so unless anyone else is really interested in why windows sucks, i would save myself some time! :) | 23:31 |
Lava_Croft | no offense | 23:31 |
* DocScrutinizer05 feels like trapped by trolls | 23:31 | |
Lava_Croft | yes, thats usually the next reaction | 23:31 |
Lava_Croft | if someone does not agree and doesnt jump on the bandwagon of windows bashing | 23:32 |
Lava_Croft | its either a troll or someone who knows jackshit about computers | 23:32 |
Lava_Croft | mostly a combination of the two | 23:32 |
Lava_Croft | time to leave you to your work, good night | 23:32 |
DocScrutinizer05 | well, you called me silly and irrational for hating software - if I couldn't convince you that my hate is quite justified and rational, I can't help | 23:32 |
*** dafox__ has quit IRC | 23:32 | |
Lava_Croft | hate for a piece of software can never be rational | 23:33 |
Lava_Croft | since its a piece of software | 23:33 |
DocScrutinizer05 | now THAT is what *I* call silly | 23:33 |
*** Dibblah has quit IRC | 23:33 | |
Lava_Croft | far too powerful of an emotion to be wasted on a piece of software | 23:33 |
DocScrutinizer05 | since I don't think somebody else has to judge about my emotional economy | 23:34 |
Lava_Croft | i think the moment you express your emotions is the moment you give other people the right to judge them | 23:34 |
DocScrutinizer05 | particularly calling me silly is not exactly sane either | 23:34 |
Lava_Croft | but this is going astray | 23:34 |
Lava_Croft | i was using the word silly in an attempt to get across a friendly version of retarded | 23:35 |
Lava_Croft | since i dont want to sound hateful or whatever | 23:35 |
DocScrutinizer05 | what about my hate for mint tea? | 23:35 |
Luke-Jr | DocScrutinizer05: hey, that USB hub you said the N900 was discharging on… it seems to keep it charged O.o | 23:35 |
Lava_Croft | how can you hate mint tea? | 23:35 |
Lava_Croft | i mean, one can dislike it or whatever | 23:35 |
Lava_Croft | but hate? | 23:35 |
DocScrutinizer05 | maybe your dictionary is different from mine | 23:35 |
DocScrutinizer05 | which wouldn't surprise, since it's about emotions | 23:36 |
Lava_Croft | well, you are known for having a thing with drama | 23:37 |
DocScrutinizer05 | which is about as precisely defined as terms of taste | 23:37 |
Lava_Croft | so maybe you dont really hate, but use the word hate in an attempt to strengthen the message | 23:37 |
Luke-Jr | hate = will evil toward | 23:37 |
DocScrutinizer05 | you are known to troll every now and then, so maybe that's what you do now | 23:37 |
Lava_Croft | Luke-Jr: yes | 23:37 |
*** louisdk has joined #maemo | 23:38 | |
Lava_Croft | DocScrutinizer05: no, but the hating of software just made me interested | 23:38 |
*** sirdancealot7 has joined #maemo | 23:38 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | ooh you're interested in all things you might classify as "silly2 then? Well, if your time is worth so little | 23:39 |
Lava_Croft | its 2239h | 23:39 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I'm out | 23:39 |
Lava_Croft | bb! | 23:39 |
*** bittinen has joined #maemo | 23:39 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | since this is definitely trolling now | 23:39 |
*** muelli has quit IRC | 23:39 | |
Lava_Croft | i guess its just me that think hating a piece of software is a bit childish | 23:40 |
Lava_Croft | its like a kid saying I HATE BROCCOLI | 23:40 |
Lava_Croft | while in fact the kid means he doesnt like the taste and/or structure of the broccoli | 23:40 |
Luke-Jr | mint tea software, not tea? | 23:40 |
DocScrutinizer05 | just a suspicion: your're a teacher? or maybe just a part time teacher on your own kids? | 23:43 |
DocScrutinizer05 | seems like you're assuming the definition instance of the symbol dictionary of any communication is on your side | 23:44 |
DocScrutinizer05 | read about communication theory a bit | 23:44 |
DocScrutinizer05 | might help | 23:44 |
* DocScrutinizer05 starts explaining to the world that there's no such thing like "cool", except for stuff from fridge | 23:45 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | and weather | 23:45 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ¡ | 23:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and to drive you comletely nuts: I *LOVE* broccoli | 23:47 |
Lava_Croft | even worse than a kid's teacher, DocScrutinizer05 | 23:48 |
Lava_Croft | I clean rich folks houses | 23:48 |
DocScrutinizer05 | while - amazingly enough - I *hate* cabbage | 23:49 |
Lava_Croft | so bad suspicion on your part :D | 23:49 |
Lava_Croft | i dont hate stuff | 23:49 |
*** jeverling has quit IRC | 23:49 | |
Lava_Croft | i dont think there's anything i really hate | 23:49 |
Lava_Croft | or anyone | 23:49 |
Lava_Croft | i do dislike a whole lot of shit tho | 23:49 |
Lava_Croft | but, we are keeping each other busy while we both stated we were about to do something else! | 23:49 |
