IRC log of #maemo for Friday, 2012-11-23

Drathirlittle missing for me a little way like blackberry browser translate links and play inside builit in player...00:00
Drathirto much little...00:01
*** lxp1 has quit IRC00:01
vi__although...00:02
vi__opera mobile should support bookmarklets.00:02
DocScrutinizer05you probably *could* even set up a shellscript to get started via M-H-D hotkey, that reads out X11 copybuffer by some standard X11 command and then invokes whatever you told it to invoke, possibly even depending on mimetype of copybuffer content00:02
Drathirkerio: yes i try but only opera allow to go to site with error adres aplication not recognised...00:02
FIQdat error00:05
FIQcan I disable it somehow?00:05
FIQand make it try to google it instead00:06
FIQit's very annoying when searching errors on google due to usual structure of an error msg00:06
Drathirafter use bb i can say for normal user is a good phones for power use dissalow a many of things, and cant do a lot of interesting things, but a few of function and abilities is good one to assimilete...00:06
kerioDrathir: btw, why are you using opera instead of microb?00:07
kerio(microb is the standard browser)00:07
Drathirkerio: opera looks a little less resource use and turbo mode...00:08
tadzikturbo is the selling point for me00:08
FIQless resource usage???00:08
tadzikI'm probably biased as hell though ;)00:08
*** lxp has quit IRC00:08
FIQturbo mode can be nice00:08
Drathirmissing for me ucweb browser with light memory use and tabs support it is java based...00:09
*** lxp has joined #maemo00:09
FIQbleh00:09
FIQmain problem I have with microB is no tabs00:09
*** NIN102 has quit IRC00:09
*** m4g0g has joined #maemo00:09
FIQI tend to open many tabs on desktop, and ending up with 100ish is normal00:10
FIQgo figure what happens on phone00:10
tadzikI like it, it's easier to switch them this way00:10
Drathirturbo for gsm use save a lot of brandwidth... byt  ubwweb for effective data transfer looks better than opera...00:10
FIQi can't deny that00:10
FIQbut that can be solved by design00:10
tadzikif you open more than 4 tabs, is it microb or opera, you're insane :)00:10
FIQbut they clutter taskswitcher a lot00:11
FIQmeh00:11
FIQi usually end up with 10+00:11
*** Macor has quit IRC00:11
FIQthen close some as taskswitcher becomes impossible to use properly00:11
*** pcfe has quit IRC00:12
FIQalso Drathir IIRC opera mini is available for n90000:12
FIQif you're concerned about data usage00:12
m4g0gwhat oauth library is recommended for using in n900?00:12
FIQI believe it uses a lot less than even opera turbo00:12
Drathirsad that n900 dont have a native light browser with server side prepare data... itcan be faster and less resource use for normal use if dond need advanced options like flash...00:13
*** setanta has quit IRC00:13
FIQuhh00:13
FIQwhat about opera turbo?00:13
FIQOpera Mobile is native, isn't it?00:14
tadzikit is00:14
Drathiryes is good but resorce use is higher than site will be translated prepared from server side engine...00:14
*** lbt_ has quit IRC00:14
tadzikyeah00:15
FIQthe site is just compressed though00:15
tadzikthe difference between mini and mobile is essentialy that mobile renders pages on device00:15
FIQthe client still does the rendering00:15
FIQyeah00:15
Drathiropera mobile is more fat than opera mini, but more powerfull...00:15
Drathiryes i know that mini is java based..00:16
FIQnot the n900 version00:16
FIQIIRC00:16
*** andre__ has joined #maemo00:16
FIQas it doesn't come with j2me00:16
*** Macor has joined #maemo00:17
freemangordonvi____: ping00:17
Drathirthat kind light browser without advanced feautures for fast use with many windows and simple content of sites is missing on n900, but that only my minds...00:20
FIQopera mini is natively available on n900 fyi00:21
FIQdunno if the latest version is though, but 10 is definitely available00:22
Drathiranyone who have phone with java support can check ucbrowser and than know what i have on mean...00:22
DrathirFIQ: i check but opera mobile 12 is fatest version with advanced feautures00:24

kolpReading the backlog... IS there any pressing reason maemo goes through a full reboot from act_dead to user, instead of just switching runlevels?00:45

*** kontio has quit IRC00:55
*** Martix_ has quit IRC00:55
DocScrutinizer05kolp: that's a difficult question00:57
kolpHm, it might speed up the boot process a little bit, don't you think?00:58
DocScrutinizer05I might figure there's some issue with dependencies during services' strartup00:59
DocScrutinizer05act_dead might start services that aren't supposed to run when starting other services that aren't started yet in act_dead01:00
kolpCan't runlevels deal with that? Stop unwanted services?01:01
DocScrutinizer05so you'd have to shut down those services prior to starting up everything. Most easy way to do that would be to do a full reboot, no doubt01:01
kolpTrue01:01
DocScrutinizer05that's mere handwaving though01:02
DocScrutinizer05only way to find out: try direct transit from act_dead runlevel to full_service runlevel, see what's blowing chunks01:02
m4g0gHi01:03
DocScrutinizer05don't miss to carefully check things like devicelock, 911-call etc01:03
kolpMight be that DSME or BME or whatever there's being started can't deal with a different STATE all of a sudden01:03
m4g0gmay be somebody used kqoauth library?01:03
DocScrutinizer05wtf is kqoauthlib now?01:04
DocScrutinizer05sounds like a kde lib01:04
m4g0git's oauth library for qt01:07

DocScrutinizer51~botsnack03:08
infobotDocScrutinizer51: :)03:08
Drathirwhat can be a reason that when system start have 20mb swap used? clean after restart use some about 120mb of ram thats a lot or not?03:11
Drathirbotsnack03:11
Drathirgochi03:11
Drathirthat will be strange if coreplayer will can smoothly play stream video on n80 but on n900 not i must will testing that...03:52
SpeedEvilthere is a lot of stuff run once on boot03:56
SpeedEvilall at once03:56
SpeedEvilit pushing stuff into swap seems bad though03:57
*** ekze has quit IRC03:57
DocScrutinizer05we got default setting of swappiness=100 (max), means everything that can gets swapped out04:00
DocScrutinizer05OTOH threre are several greedy processes that are preloaded at boot time and ram-locked (dialer, browserd, whatnot else) - that's why you see swap getting used pretty quickly04:01
SpeedEvilif it's swapping while booting, and not hitting ram limit while booting, that's bad04:01
SpeedEvilif it's swapping after booting, when idle, good.04:02

vi____teotwaki: The pre-previous guy left for a job with a 50% increase in salary.  He left with a compiled version of the last firmware but no source code.13:35
vi____I am pretty sure it was a final fuck-you from beyond the grave.13:35
teotwakivi____: how much do you make?13:38
vi____I am ashamed to say.13:38
teotwakiactually, you don't need to say it out loud, just think of the answer13:38
teotwakiAnd think of how much you enable the company to 1/ function, 2/ ruin your life.13:38
vi____Yup.13:38
vi____Yup.13:38
teotwakiDoes your salary seem just to you?13:38
vi____Not even slightly.13:38
teotwakiThen either get a payraise, or walk away.13:39
vi____I am already on it.13:39
vi____I have a couple of applications allready 'in'.13:39
teotwakiDon't tell them "I'll leave", and don't go to interviews without telling them13:39
vi____teotwaki: Dont go to the interviews without telling?13:39
teotwakiJust tell them, "I've been asking for a raise for x months, and have been blatantly ignored, so I'm just letting you know that I've been contacted by other companies and am pondering my options"13:40
vi____teotwaki: Normally I would agree, however this particular company has demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt that they do not give raises.13:40
teotwaki"This doesn't mean that I've decided to leave, but I don't feel the company values my skills enough, nor does it take my questions and worries into account."13:41
teotwakivi____: yeah, people said that about my company when I joined as well.13:41
teotwakiI got an 20% raise after 3 months in, and 30% a year later.13:41
vi____They let the my pre-predecessor walk away.  He had been working on this project for almost 2 years.  He knew it inside out.   They let him walk away without a fight.  Then they hired his replacement at the salary that he was asking for a raise too.13:42
teotwakiAnd am currently negotiating another 10% raise.13:42
vi____His replacement did not even know how to program.13:42
vi____teotwaki: That is because you are a gifted programmer.13:42
teotwakiNo.13:42
teotwakiI just know how to negotiate ;)13:42
vi____heh.13:42
teotwakiAnyway, lunch break, 'later.13:42

DocScrutinizer05you might use some kapton film, solid thin carton etc, to push it between 'pin' and pad while desoldering17:23
*** stardiviner has joined #maemo17:24
DocScrutinizer05or just use two soldering irons in parallel17:24
DocScrutinizer05or - the brute force EE approach - you cut the 'wires' of the bupbat so you can desolder one after the other17:25

Gh0stycould it be the led controller is acting funny of my n900 due to a "relatively bad" battery?17:35
DocScrutinizer05sure17:35
Gh0stybasicly when i plug it in it still charges ...17:35
Gh0stysometimes I even see a steady orange light when I plug it in17:35
DocScrutinizer05that's emergency charging17:36
Gh0stybut backlight nor warnings from sms or anything light up the led17:36
DocScrutinizer05hah, check your settings17:36
Gh0styand it all started recently when battery started drowning mega-fast17:36

Gh0stylast week was on a party, took 1 call, made 2 pictures17:37
DocScrutinizer05not exactly unreasonable standby time17:37

Gh0sty2 days later again everything gone ...18:33
Gh0stythe next day i noticed the battery has made a serious capacity dive18:34
Gh0styup to the fact this weekend it even went down after couple of hours (but i had used it then)18:34
ShadowJKGh0sty; does it at any point when charging or plugging in do the glowing/pulsing yellow led thing?18:34
Gh0stynow when i recharge it its only good for a full day in stdby18:35
Gh0stynot anymore well if i plug it in without battery you still see the orange led very weak for a split second ...18:35
Gh0styever since I have not seen led nor keyboard backligt working ...18:37
Gh0styalso the strange thing there after the battery died in a couple of hours that weekend ...18:38
Gh0styI am pretty sure I plugged it in that night and turned it on a little later18:38
Gh0stythat noon when i woke up it was off ...18:38
DocScrutinizer05yeah pretty detailed description of 5% of the relevant facts. I still say it's sw related18:45
DocScrutinizer05possibly mce, or bme18:45
vi_Gh0sty: Do a complete reflash.18:45
DocScrutinizer05yes18:45

*** vi_ has quit IRC18:47
DocScrutinizer05of course we could start investigating stuff like (power)top, mce, syslog, bq27200.sh, whatnot else18:47
DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: which hw fault?18:48
freemangordonGh0sty: it you your RGB LED not working?18:48
freemangordon*it is18:48
DocScrutinizer05which hw fault would make indicator LED not work properly, cause massively reduced standby time, and issues with screen backlight? and battery deep discharge18:49
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: those could be separated things, we all know HW misdesign n900 has18:50
freemangordonlight sensor that is18:50
DocScrutinizer05might be generic NAND hw fault. Couldn't think of any other plausible single point of hw failure causing all this18:50
freemangordonI have the same experience (excludng the battery drain)18:50
*** valerius has joined #maemo18:50

DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: sure you haven't fsckd your ALS calibration?18:52
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: for sure I didn;t touch it18:52

DocScrutinizer05ALS calib is in CAL18:53

DocScrutinizer05????????????18:53
DocScrutinizer05CAL erasure by ultrahard photons?18:54
DocScrutinizer05;-P18:54
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: toldya, I had the same LED not working proble, not solved with battery removal18:54
DocScrutinizer05who suggested battery removal?18:56
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: iirc ALS is connected on the same power bus? or something as some of the LEDs. If not all of the lleds18:56
DocScrutinizer05also you had NOT same problems, since you admitted ind LED was dim, not defect. And your standby time didn't drop18:57
freemangordonBTW I cannot remember if i flashed18:57
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: not dim, but almost invisible18:57
DocScrutinizer05no. ALS is not connected to any power bus18:57
freemangordonwell, then proximity18:57
DocScrutinizer05neither18:58
freemangordonhowever, i've seen that. and it repaired by itself. almost NFC how18:59
freemangordon*has repaired18:59
DocScrutinizer05battery removal can reset LP5523 ind (& kbd) LED controller. That's all. All other 'fix' attempts are random nonsense, since neither removing one night nor SIM has anything to do with LP5523. And LP5523 hardly can cause massive reduction of standby time19:00
