| Aoyagi | Hi, I thought this would be a nice place to inquire about N900 or Maemo in general...isn't it? | 01:14 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | absolutely | 01:14 |
| *** Jay_BEE has quit IRC | 01:15 | |
| Aoyagi | Great, I plan to get one of those and I could use some intel before I actually buy it :) | 01:15 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | maemo newbe? | 01:16 |
| Aoyagi | Not even that yet. | 01:17 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | linux? | 01:17 |
| *** valerius has joined #maemo | 01:17 | |
| Aoyagi | Currently I'm sort of a sub-life derivate. | 01:17 |
| Aoyagi | And I have ... some linux experience, nothing to be proud of though. | 01:18 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | sufficient, if you love it nevertheless | 01:18 |
| *** BCMM has quit IRC | 01:18 | |
| Hurrian | Aoyagi, despite the age, it's actually kind of snappy once you get around to installing CSSU-Thumb | 01:19 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | a lot of maemons got introduced to linux by their N900 | 01:19 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | Hurrian: hoooh, not that fast with a new member :-D | 01:19 |
| Aoyagi | Heh, no doubt. | 01:19 |
| Hurrian | meh, learn to use apt-get properly and you can get mostly everything you want done. | 01:21 |
| Hurrian | Messing with configuration files comes much, much later. | 01:21 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | Hurrian: don't you think our new community meber might first want to *get* a device? | 01:22 |
| Aoyagi | Sounds like a general linux rule of thumb :3 | 01:22 |
| Hurrian | DocScrutinizer05: well, they're rock bottom cheap, hopefully cheap enough to fall into the "disposable income" category of spending | 01:22 |
| Hurrian | My advice is, if you're familiar with Linux, start browsing the repository, and develop a peculiar interest in kernel-power. | 01:22 |
| *** NIN102 has quit IRC | 01:23 | |
| Hurrian | Everything you will need to know will come after that. | 01:23 |
| Aoyagi | DocScrutinizer05: Actually the reasons why I figured this one would be the best choice are pretty shallow. The original impulse was "Linux, but screw google" | 01:23 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | my advice: get a N900, possibly a 'new' one. Then do your first flashing and update experiences, and enjoy maemo a few days or weeks | 01:24 |
| Aoyagi | That's the plan. | 01:24 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | Aoyagi: sounds like a pretty good rationale | 01:24 |
| Hurrian | Better yet, force yourself to use it as a phone for a month. | 01:24 |
| Hurrian | That should get you used to it. | 01:24 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | Aoyagi: you'll love N900 since it's really linux, unlike any android device | 01:25 |
| Hurrian | Leaving it on a desk for occasional playtime is a surefire way to never touch it. | 01:25 |
| Aoyagi | Force? I don't need to do such things, I broke my N95 in two pieces due to rage, alcohol and poor judgment. And I'll be damned if I stay any longer with C2 | 01:26 |
| *** NishanthMenon has quit IRC | 01:26 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | Aoyagi: beware of 'new' N900 origin Hongkong, they're most frequently poorly refurbished ones | 01:27 |
| Aoyagi | DocScrutinizer51: So about that, I have this somewhat major question - can it do the 'usb memory' mode? Without any application installed on the PC? | 01:27 |
| *** OkropNick has quit IRC | 01:27 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | yes | 01:27 |
| Hurrian | Aoyagi: An ex-N95 user? Man, you're about two years late on the upgrade train. | 01:27 |
| Aoyagi | Hurrian: I wouldn't ditch the phone if it didn't break. | 01:28 |
| Aoyagi | DocScrutinizer05: Great, I was asking because I read somewhere that it can't do it. | 01:28 |
| Hurrian | Aoyagi: Ditched mine because of poor battery life. Speaking of which, the N900 has so-so battery life. | 01:28 |
| *** setanta has quit IRC | 01:29 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | nah, plug device to any PC, select "Mass Storage Mode" from popup menu on N900, access it from PC like a usual USB memory stick with 28GB capacity and VFAT filesystem | 01:29 |
| Hurrian | As a benchmark, when you get one, and flash it clean, if the battery's new it should last 4 hours browsing the Internet via WiFi. | 01:29 |
| Aoyagi | Hurrian: So wait. | 01:30 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | or 8 days in standby mode | 01:30 |
| Aoyagi | If I understand it correctly, you consider N900 to be the next N95? | 01:30 |
| Hurrian | Aoyagi, if by that you mean "the quintessential Nokia device of its time", then yes. | 01:30 |
| Hurrian | It did come out with the N97, which according to my friends is a complete pile of dog shit. And more expensive than the N900. | 01:31 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | N900 is the best device ever built by Nokia | 01:31 |
| Aoyagi | heh | 01:31 |
| Aoyagi | And I have an N97 too. It's slow as hell, otherwise not -that- bad. | 01:31 |
| Hurrian | Oh, and when you get your N900, you think the battery life sucks, don't worry. The N9 has worse battery life. | 01:32 |
| Aoyagi | Well | 01:32 |
| *** rcg has quit IRC | 01:32 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | and I guess 75% here will agree it's still not replaceable by any other device | 01:32 |
| nox- | ..and you cant even swap the n9 battery right? | 01:32 |
| Aoyagi | N9 also has capacitive touchscreen and no physical keyboard and those two things I can't stand... | 01:32 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | you'll *love* your N900 :-) | 01:33 |
| Aoyagi | If I find one anyway. | 01:33 |
| NeutrinoPower | on ebay... | 01:33 |
| NeutrinoPower | I got one last week for 90€ | 01:34 |
| *** RzR has quit IRC | 01:34 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | hmm, it seems on Poland there are really new ones available still | 01:34 |
| NeutrinoPower | and I like it | 01:34 |
| NeutrinoPower | new N900? | 01:34 |
| Aoyagi | DocScrutinizer05: Some of the shops here say so as well, but that depends on how trustworthy are they. | 01:34 |
| *** RzR has joined #maemo | 01:34 | |
| Aoyagi | (here being Czech Republic of Crap) | 01:35 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | gathered as much | 01:35 |
| Hurrian | Europe? It'd be a cinch to grab new N900s. | 01:35 |
| Hurrian | Elsewhere, you're not so lucky. Paying postal and dealing with customs is suffering. | 01:36 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | I think you could order in Germany, bluephon has display mint condition ones every now and then, offers on ebay under various names | 01:36 |
| *** florian has quit IRC | 01:36 | |
| Aoyagi | Hm, I'd better check some UK stores too. | 01:36 |
| Aoyagi | Wouldn't want to get some messed up keyboard layout. | 01:37 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | errr, I think UK is a tad expensive | 01:37 |
| *** messerting has quit IRC | 01:37 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | actually of my 2 bluephon devices one came with qwerty | 01:37 |
| Hurrian | Oh, I've got one more suggestion. If you love your N900, I recommend grabbing 2 more (even if they're partially working) devices to cannibalize parts off. | 01:38 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | swapping keymat is really piss simple. Getting new keymat maybe not that easy though | 01:38 |
| Aoyagi | Well, 280 GPB would be an acceptable price. | 01:38 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | UGH | 01:38 |
| Aoyagi | for meee | 01:38 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | for a new one in original package maybe | 01:38 |
| Aoyagi | Hurrian: Yeah, I'll get one or two used ones as well, just to make sure :) | 01:38 |
| Aoyagi | DocScrutinizer05: Yep. | 01:39 |
| Aoyagi | And there better be one somewhere out there. | 01:39 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | new ones here in D are 180..250EUR | 01:39 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | without original packaging | 01:39 |
| Hurrian | I have five working N900s, one as the princess N900, and the other four are built out of scrapped N900s. | 01:39 |
| Aoyagi | Isn't that a bit of an overkill? | 01:40 |
| Hurrian | Aoyagi, I love me some N900s. | 01:41 |
| Aoyagi | So it would seem ^^ | 01:41 |
| Hurrian | Bought a box of defective ones at the local electronics grey market, and put together working ones. | 01:41 |
| Hurrian | I've got around three units worth of dud parts (broken case/camera/screen/slider/magnet), and the rest I haven't checked yet. | 01:42 |
| Aoyagi | Sounds like a lot of tinkering. | 01:42 |
| Hurrian | I may be able to assemble more of them, but testing each component takes quite some time. | 01:43 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | Aoyagi: bluephon24: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Nokia-Akku-BL-5J-Original-C3-00-N900-X6-X6-16GB-X6-32GB-/270987362144?pt=DE_Handy_PDA_Akkus&hash=item3f181aff60#ht_2412wt_1139 | 01:44 |

| DocScrutinizer05 | find a phone of them, and you're fine | 01:44 |

| DocScrutinizer05 | Aoyagi: ther are a lot more http://www.ebay.de/sch/i.html?LH_BIN=1&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=nokia+n900+32gb but I don't know any of those sellers | 01:45 |
| Hurrian | USD348? The f***? | 01:46 |
| Hurrian | DocScrutinizer05, you may want to check "New" as the condition | 01:46 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | Hurrian: I did: 1 item | 01:47 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | location HONGKONG | 01:47 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | beware! | 01:47 |
| *** eijk has quit IRC | 01:47 | |
| Hurrian | Aoyagi, notice that the devices from Hong Kong are priced ~GBP130 or so | 01:48 |
| Aoyagi | Is there any way to tell them apart? | 01:48 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | that's around 129 too much | 01:48 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | google for "<seller> problem" | 01:49 |
| Hurrian | Aoyagi, HK devices are hit and miss | 01:49 |
| Hurrian | you may be sold a refurb when they say new | 01:49 |
| Aoyagi | "Dispatched from Hong Kong" is not what I want to see then, huh? | 01:50 |
| Hurrian | yup., | 01:50 |
| Aoyagi | "Dispatched from United Kingdom" sounds nice enough... | 01:50 |
| Hurrian | And one more thing, if you see sellers jacking up the price because it's "unlocked" avoid them. | 01:51 |
| Hurrian | The N900 has not been sold simlocked. | 01:51 |
| Hurrian | Ever. | 01:51 |
| *** NeutrinoPower has quit IRC | 01:52 | |
| Aoyagi | I don't think the range of sellers will be exactly wide. But I might as well tell our company supplier to look for one too. | 01:52 |
| Aoyagi | "used" one with 6 months warranty for 130¤... :/ | 01:57 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | Hurrian: incorrect, some carriers sold them simlocked | 01:58 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | Aoyagi: you might want to check the Polish ones | 01:59 |
| Aoyagi | I imagine it isn't that much of a problem to unlock them. | 01:59 |
| SpeedEvil | may not be possible | 01:59 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | they are extremely rare, and no, it's probably not easy at all to unlock them | 02:00 |
| SpeedEvil | procedure varies by phone | 02:00 |
| SpeedEvil | the simlock will be in the modems store age, not the application processor | 02:00 |
| ShadowJK | There's a menu entry for it in N900 | 02:01 |
| ShadowJK | in settings -> phone, iirc | 02:01 |
| ShadowJK | or maybe even in settings -> (dropdown menu) | 02:01 |
| SpeedEvil | oh! | 02:02 |
| SpeedEvil | missed that | 02:02 |
| ShadowJK | it wasn't there in PR1.0 | 02:02 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | http://allegro.pl/listing.php/search?buy=4&category=4978&change_view=1&sg=0&string=n900 | 02:04 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | it's in settings menu iirc | 02:04 |
| *** konelix has quit IRC | 02:05 | |
| Aoyagi | So is there a way to tell if it's a HK phone when I get my hands on it? | 02:05 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | right button in settings main menu | 02:05 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | yes, disassemble it and if your hands are black after that then it's a HK device | 02:05 |
| Aoyagi | hah | 02:06 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | don't buy HK | 02:06 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | it's always same seller and known to sell crap | 02:06 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | while those Polish devices allegedly are real new ones | 02:07 |
| Aoyagi | Hah, this reseller: "this phone has too few applications, MMS service is missing, the firmware is unfinished" | 02:08 |
| Aoyagi | DocScrutinizer51: So there isn't some fine print on the phone saying "this was made in HK business offhours, don't buy it" | 02:09 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | nah, all N900 are made in Hungary or Finland iirc | 02:10 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | the HK ones are used refurbished ones, poorly refurbished | 02:11 |
| Aoyagi | Oh yes, that was before Nokia still had some presence in Finland. | 02:11 |
| Aoyagi | I mean | 02:11 |
| Aoyagi | WHEN they had some presence in Finland | 02:11 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | there *might* even be original N900 'made in Hongkong'. Dunno | 02:12 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | but that doesn't really mean a thing | 02:12 |
| Aoyagi | Yeah | 02:12 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | it's not about where they been made | 02:13 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | it's about where from they are shipped now | 02:13 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | I'd suggest you go for a german, austrian, polish(?), or UK one | 02:14 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | or czech one if you can find | 02:14 |
| Aoyagi | Mreh, I don't really trust the yokels here. | 02:14 |

| DocScrutinizer05 | Aoyagi: you might be more lucky by searching ebay for a week or two, until there's a bluefon24 one | 02:18 |
| Aoyagi | mreh, I'll manage | 02:19 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | anyway, welcome here. And c u l8r o/ | 02:19 |

| Macer | you know nokia is fail when they start selling their phones at radio shack | 13:40 |
| Aoyagi | Because RadioShack is an evil large corporation? | 13:43 |
| kerio | Aoyagi: because americans have no idea that nokia used to make all kinds of phones | 13:44 |
| kerio | and selling cheap phones is not necessarily a bad things | 13:44 |
| kerio | *a bad thing | 13:45 |
| Aoyagi | Oh I think 3310 is quite famous even among derpmuricans :) | 13:45 |
| Lava_Croft | Nokia as a brand is percieved differently in the US as opposed to Europe | 13:47 |
| Aoyagi | But Nokia doesn't seem to care about anything else than brown-nosing Microsoft and maaaybe selling some Ashas. | 13:47 |
| kerio | >elop | 13:48 |
| Aoyagi | Pretty much... | 13:48 |
| Lava_Croft | Elop is good to blame for everything | 13:48 |
| Aoyagi | Yes, the global warming is his fault, of course. | 13:48 |
| Lava_Croft | OPK did much more damage to Nokia than Elop | 13:49 |
| Aoyagi | He did? | 13:49 |
| Lava_Croft | He is responsible for leaving Nokia to Elop in it's current state | 13:50 |
| Aoyagi | I thought he received an offer he couldn't refuse. | 13:51 |
| Lava_Croft | Under his leadership Nokia wasn't able to put out a real competitor to the iPhone | 13:51 |
| kerio | the n900! | 13:51 |
| Aoyagi | !!! | 13:51 |
| kerio | !!!!!!!!!1!1 | 13:52 |
| kerio | Aoyagi: did you buy one yet | 13:52 |
| Aoyagi | Not yet, will take time... | 13:52 |
| Aoyagi | I don't think it was about 'competition' directly with phones. From what I've seen, it was a purely marketing thing. | 13:52 |

| Pali | maemo5 has no GUI option for "remember wifi password for EAP/TTLS+GTC auth" | 14:32 |
| Pali | really annoying if I must enter password every time when connecting to wifi | 14:32 |
| *** jonwil has joined #maemo | 14:33 | |
| Pali | I found that password can be stored to gconf key /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/%s/EAP_GTC_passcode and then proprietary eapd daemon can use it | 14:33 |
| Pali | I'd like to see *working* daemon which can connect to any network | 14:34 |
| Pali | also on desktop, NetworkManager is not good solution | 14:34 |
| Pali | is there *any* normal and working network daemon? | 14:35 |
| Skry | connman is geared towards embedded use, but I think it lacks extensive gui atm | 14:35 |
| Pali | Skry, I can use anything working for my desktop | 14:36 |
| *** degreez has quit IRC | 14:36 | |
| Pali | text file configuration is still better then non-working app | 14:37 |
| Pali | NetworkManager has support for TTLS+GTC, but for unknown reason in both gnome & kde GUI is missing GTC checkbox | 14:38 |
| kerio | Pali: wicd maybe? | 14:39 |
| Pali | and funny is my patch for KDE4 network-manager GUI for GTC chechbox: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-devel/2012-December/006516.html | 14:39 |
| Pali | kerio, has wicd support for *system* profiles? | 14:39 |
| Pali | e.g. autoconnect to wifi without need to start some X application | 14:40 |
| Pali | what I need is: Start notebook and be sure that it connect to some preconfigured wifi network in range without need to login as some user | 14:41 |
| Skry | Pali: netcfg in arch does just that amongst other things, it's a bunch of scripts. I dont know if it is available and/or adapted to any other ditros though | 14:43 |
| Skry | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Netcfg | 14:43 |
| *** valdyn has quit IRC | 14:44 | |
| Pali | Skry, is that netcfg connecting to wifi network automatically? | 14:44 |
| Skry | wicd is also good, but iirc it is not maintained anymore | 14:44 |
| Skry | yes | 14:44 |
| Skry | if you configure it to do so | 14:44 |
| Pali | so then it have to daemon (not only shell script) | 14:45 |
| Skry | it uses wpa_actiond for automatic / roaming support | 14:46 |
| Pali | Skry, is there also support for ethernet 802.1X authentification? | 14:47 |
| Skry | no idea | 14:47 |
| *** MrOpposite has joined #maemo | 14:48 | |
| Skry | anyway, it's just a bunch of scripts to wrap around the usual command line tools for networking to make it easy to setup networking in minimalistic way | 14:49 |
| Pali | ok, I will look at it | 14:50 |
| Pali | thanks! | 14:50 |

| *** jhb has quit IRC | 15:11 | |

| kerio | >:D | 15:19 |
| Hurrian | I meant the macbook. Hope it still has Applecare or something. | 15:22 |
| kerio | well, it wasn't a lot of coffee, so maybe the liquid sensors weren't tripped | 15:23 |
| kerio | anyway, still works fine apparently | 15:23 |
| kerio | so idk | 15:23 |
| Hurrian | Does it smell like coffee? | 15:23 |
| Hurrian | Well, at least it wasn't OJ. | 15:23 |
| kerio | Hurrian: it does | 15:23 |
| kerio | ouch, optical drive not working | 15:24 |
| Hurrian | uh-oh. power down now, and dry the whole thing. | 15:24 |
| kerio | and the disks come out coated in coffee | 15:24 |
| *** Martix has joined #maemo | 15:25 | |
| Hurrian | kerio, did the owner make any effort to lap up said coffee in disc? | 15:25 |
| kerio | how the fuck am i supposed to dry it | 15:25 |
| Hurrian | disassemble it. | 15:25 |
| Hurrian | actually, I think that the disc drive may have went potato. | 15:26 |
| kerio | i already did it, disassembling the optical drive involves a satanic ritual | 15:26 |
| Hurrian | lasers don't like being damaged electically. | 15:26 |
| kerio | apparently the subwoofer sits on it and the antennas for wifi and bluetooth ride around it | 15:27 |
| kerio | so HELL NAW, i'm not touching that | 15:27 |
| Hurrian | if the logic board is reasonably uncaffeinated, you can prolly get away with replacing the drive | 15:27 |
| kerio | indeed | 15:27 |
| kerio | i actually have a spare optical drive for macbooks laying around | 15:27 |
| kerio | but i feel that if i actually installed it, she wouldn't learn to keep her coffee away from her laptop | 15:28 |
| Hurrian | quick question, did the event occur with Starbucks brand coffee? | 15:28 |
| Hurrian | or did it happen in a coffee shop of sorts | 15:28 |
| *** jonwil_ has joined #maemo | 15:28 | |
| kerio | oh right, i forgot that the rest of the world doesn't know what a proper coffee is | 15:29 |
| kerio | Hurrian: think a starbucks espresso | 15:29 |
| kerio | so it's actually very little coffee | 15:29 |
| Hurrian | technically, a frappawhappamasachino with extra cream. | 15:30 |
| *** jonwil has quit IRC | 15:30 | |
| kerio | and it happened like 10 minutes ago in our house | 15:30 |
| *** jonwil_ is now known as jonwil | 15:30 | |
| Hurrian | I guess what complicates the situation is the rubber that makes the discs sit nicely when slot loaded must've sucked up some of that. | 15:30 |
| kerio | yep :D | 15:30 |
| Hurrian | Oh, and the disc slot motors. | 15:30 |
| kerio | and i have no idea how to even access that | 15:31 |

| DocScrutinizer05 | why? | 19:27 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | Nokia should be happy to 'be allowed' to show that they care. Otherwise it's not unlikely that some class action would be pending, since they basically discontinue support they implicitly sold with their products only 2 years ago | 19:29 |
| Sicelo | i suppose you are right. the legal aspect of the whole affair isn't so understandable to me | 19:32 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | there are several cases at court been decided that all say a customer has a _right_ to expect a reasonable timespan of support from manufacturer for a product he bought, even after warranty expires | 19:32 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | depending on sales price this timespan may easily exceed 5 years, during which manufacturer is supposed to keep up web services, offer repair service, etc | 19:33 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | think of a car you buy, costs 120k-bucks. after 6 months they tell you: spark plugs for this model aren't built anymore, you can basically shredder it | 19:34 |

| freemangordon | And having in mind we have a guy wotking for opera hanging on #maemo :P | 19:59 |
| freemangordon | RST38h: not related to CSSU | 19:59 |
| RST38h | Hmm, never happened here | 20:00 |
| freemangordon | it behaves in the same way on stock | 20:00 |
| freemangordon | RST38h: read the thread on TMO, no matter what - PR1.3 or CSSU, it is the same | 20:00 |
| RST38h | well, Opera did not crash on PR1.3 for me | 20:00 |
| RST38h | it does not crash when started from xterm either | 20:01 |
| RST38h | in fact, it did notcrash with earlier CSSUs | 20:01 |
| freemangordon | RST38h: it does not crash when started from terminal here too | 20:01 |
| RST38h | so, all fingers appear to be pointing to maemo-desktop in the latest CSSUs | 20:01 |
| freemangordon | RST38h: I am on "earlier" CSSU, -thumb has not been updated since,ummm..., september? | 20:01 |
| RST38h | which is not closed-source, is part of CSSU, etc | 20:02 |
| freemangordon | RST38h: it is not CSSU, opera started crashing by middle or end of october. CSSU-thumb is one month older | 20:03 |
| RST38h | hm | 20:03 |
| Sicelo | which opera are we talking about? | 20:03 |
| freemangordon | 12 | 20:03 |
| RST38h | so you are saying it is their last update? | 20:03 |
| freemangordon | RST38h: no, the must have changed something on the server side | 20:04 |
| RST38h | hmm | 20:04 |
| RST38h | But I disabled server-based optimizations | 20:04 |
| freemangordon | RST38h: so what | 20:05 |
| freemangordon | are you sure you know what opera does? | 20:05 |
| Sicelo | never worked at all for me. i went back to 11 | 20:05 |
| RST38h | not really | 20:06 |
| freemangordon | 03.11.2012 - 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo5.1+thumb4 | 20:07 |

| freemangordon | 11-10-2012 | 20:07 |
| freemangordon | RST38h: ^^^ | 20:08 |
| freemangordon | oops, that is 10-11-2012 | 20:08 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | that is a fsckng bogus format, nothing else | 20:08 |
| freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: yeah, but thumb update date is in dd-mm-yyyy format, so I should puth the first report in the same format for easier comparison | 20:09 |
| freemangordon | *put | 20:09 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | either use proper ISO date format like 2012-11-10, or ... well there's no alternative | 20:10 |
| freemangordon | anyway, opera started to crash a week after the last -thumb update | 20:10 |

| r00t|home | not debian arm, but from 770 instead of n900 | 20:37 |
| kerio | hm | 20:38 |
| vi_ | r00t|home: so it waits till you get a net connection and then updates the time? | 20:38 |
| Sicelo | there's a location with an N900 ntpdate.. i forget which one | 20:38 |
| Sicelo | :-/ | 20:38 |
| kerio | anyway, does the ntpd in openntpd force the time update even with a big delay? | 20:38 |

| kerio | vi_: i meant compared to ntpd from the repos | 20:40 |
| r00t|home | vi_: it waits until a defaultroute is present, and then runs ntpdate until the date isn't in 2000 anymore | 20:42 |
| r00t|home | vi_: could use some fixing to be more elegant, but works as-is | 20:42 |
| vi_ | r00t|home: I like it. | 20:44 |
| r00t|home | also not sure if mounts_ok is the best condition to hook it on, that is just copied from elsewhere... there should be something for network_up or so | 20:45 |
| kerio | i think that busybox's ntpd doesn't care about big offsets | 20:45 |
| r00t|home | kerio: busybox has ntpDEAMON, but not ntpdate? | 20:45 |
| kerio | r00t|home: ntpd -dnq -p pool.ntp.org | 20:45 |
| r00t|home | i don't see a point in running ntpd on a phone... unless it has a one-shot mode | 20:45 |
| r00t|home | ok, so i could uninstall ntpdate and use that instead... | 20:46 |
| kerio | -d for verbose, -n for don't daemonize, -q for quit after once | 20:46 |
| kerio | i kinda like it running as a daemon, just 'cause | 20:46 |

| Sicelo | my N900 isn't always online | 20:49 |
| kerio | i wonder if it'll fix a several-hours delay | 20:49 |

| DocScrutinizer05 | iirc data was like: 8MB RAM, 16MB flash | 23:02 |
| kerio | DocScrutinizer05: do you remember where's that picture of the n900 hanging by the usb cable that... ShadowJK had? | 23:02 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | nope, don't recall such picture | 23:02 |
| ShadowJK | http://enivax.net/jk/n900/usb_ok.jpg | 23:03 |
| kerio | ty | 23:04 |
| kerio | that picture always makes me cringe >.< | 23:04 |
| vi_ | they use mtk chips | 23:04 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | :nod: | 23:05 |
| vi_ | they are epicly under powered and run like shit. | 23:05 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | the usual dual-SIM crap | 23:05 |
| ShadowJK | this isn't nearly as bad as when I'm in bed and surfing webs on n900 with charge cable connected, and decide to turn over or shift position, and it turns out the charge cable has snagged around some random crap on the floor | 23:05 |
| kerio | ShadowJK: you monster >:C | 23:05 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | ~usbfix | 23:05 |

| ShadowJK | The other day I accidentally tripped on the cable too lol | 23:06 |
| kerio | i know it's perfectly fine, but still | 23:06 |
| fastlane` | omg! | 23:06 |
| vi_ | the os is very skinnable and is generally made to look like the timitation on the surface. | 23:06 |
| fastlane` | that pic ! | 23:06 |
| ShadowJK | for some reason usb has never broken for me | 23:06 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | ^^^ recommended read for *everybody* | 23:06 |
| kerio | ShadowJK: so it's not even fixed? D: | 23:06 |
| kerio | YOU MONSTER | 23:06 |
| kerio | <ShadowJK> i'm scared of breaking my main n900 | 23:06 |
| kerio | YOU DON'T SAY | 23:06 |
| vi_ | FFS is there anyone left who has NOT soldered their usb port down? | 23:07 |
| * kerio raises his hand | 23:07 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | ol | 23:07 |
| * ShadowJK hasn't | 23:07 | |
| vi_ | please rescind your n900 and gtfo. | 23:07 |
| ShadowJK | I'm curious, how do you unplug microusb? | 23:07 |
| kerio | no u | 23:07 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | carefully | 23:07 |
| kerio | ShadowJK: firm grip on the n900, firm grip on the usb *cable* somewhat close to the solid plug part, pull really gently | 23:08 |
| *** Macer has quit IRC | 23:08 | |
| *** nox- has joined #maemo | 23:08 | |
| * ShadowJK grabs actual plug | 23:08 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | usually with my fingernails, prying it out by using nails as a lever against the body | 23:08 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | case body | 23:08 |
| kerio | i was expecting ShadowJK to say "i just grab the usb cord and start spinning it until the n900 detaches and flies around the room" | 23:09 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | but meanwhile all my plugs are working really smooth, and no I haven't filed down anything | 23:09 |
| ShadowJK | with thumb and finger, like N900|> the > is thumn and finger, then I squeeze so thumn-finger becomes =, my thumn and finger press against N900 case, and plug is removed with minimal sideways force I hope | 23:09 |
| ShadowJK | kerio; except for the landing, that's probably a nice strategy | 23:09 |
| kerio | IT'S NOT | 23:09 |
| *** BigBoxD__ has joined #maemo | 23:09 | |
| FIQ | vi_> FFS is there anyone left who has NOT soldered their usb port down? | 23:10 |
| *** NIN101 has quit IRC | 23:10 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | pulling the cable also is a valid strategy | 23:10 |
| fastlane` | i havnt n i cant .. i have to go back home miles away for that | 23:11 |
| ShadowJK | I wonder how much asymmetric force the locking system being on one side causes | 23:11 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | you just should hold the N900 on the small side under the USB plug, next to indicator LED then | 23:12 |
| fastlane` | and yes the microusb on my n900 is alreayd damaged, not completely though, i just have to put a lil pressure on it and not use it while charging, like place a lil weight on its connected microusb cable and then it starts charging | 23:12 |
| *** Macer has joined #maemo | 23:12 | |
| kerio | fastlane`: ffs, stop using the port immediately | 23:12 |
| FIQ | fastlane`: that's like my microUSB currently, but since it became like that, i stopped using it immediately | 23:12 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | ~usbfix | 23:12 |
| infobot | methinks usbfix is http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75920 - and **NEVER** use epoxy (unless you want to seal your device for underwater) | 23:12 |
| FIQ | unless I really need to | 23:12 |
| vi_ | fastlane`: DO NOT touch that port till you can fix it. | 23:13 |
| * FIQ slowly walks away | 23:13 | |
| fastlane` | but i have adapted, now i have vnc on my n900 n laptop, and i use it to access all phone functions when charging | 23:13 |
| kerio | FIQ: we're onto you! | 23:13 |
| fastlane` | i dont have anyother phone, | 23:13 |
| FIQ | fastlane`: | 23:13 |
| FIQ | you do NOT want a broken microUSB | 23:13 |
| FIQ | ESPECIALLY not now, as they're quite hard to come by | 23:13 |
| fastlane` | i should just buy a second hand nokia 1100 then i guess? | 23:13 |
| kerio | FIQ: huh? | 23:13 |
| vi_ | fastlane`: you will have 0 phones if you do not stop using that port. | 23:13 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | fastlane`: what you're doing will inevitably result in a broken USB though | 23:13 |
| kerio | the microusb ports are standard, aren't they | 23:13 |
| FIQ | kerio: N900s, that is | 23:14 |
| *** BigBoxDriver has joined #maemo | 23:14 | |
| kerio | this reminds me, i should eventually get around to fix my old n900's usb port | 23:14 |
| FIQ | fastlane`: (as long as you don't mind changing, that is) | 23:14 |
| FIQ | because, have fun finding a n900 replacement otherwise! | 23:14 |
| fastlane` | let me show you a photo if i can take it ... | 23:15 |
| kerio | also, for some reason the old n900 didn't have a working red camera light | 23:15 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | what for? | 23:15 |
| kerio | fastlane`: just buy a cheap external charger and use that | 23:15 |
| FIQ | fastlane`: My first N900 was like you described, it broke completely after just a month of doing that, but luckily this was like 6 months in n900 release so I got a new N900 from warranty | 23:16 |
| vi_ | kerio: or dont. chinese chargers are dangerous shite. | 23:16 |
| kerio | vi_: YOLO | 23:16 |
| FIQ | now my second one's USB is beginning to fail, I answered by not charging and use an external charger | 23:16 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | fix dat USB receptacle, as long as it's still fixable! | 23:16 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | FFS | 23:16 |
| vi_ | kerio: stfu #SWAG | 23:17 |
| kerio | DocScrutinizer05: if you can make some connection, it's still fixable, right? | 23:17 |

| kerio | busybox-power, that is | 23:21 |
| FIQ | oh | 23:21 |
| FIQ | that is what i've gotten ntpd -q from | 23:21 |
| fastlane` | this is how I have to charge it right now .. this little bend on the cable is necessary | 23:21 |
| fastlane` | http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/11536992/img/Anonymous/n900microusbprob.png | 23:21 |
| merlin1991 | you could also install rdate from therepos and run rdate -n | 23:21 |
| merlin1991 | (for the oneshot adjustment | 23:22 |
| fastlane` | bad pic taken from webcam | 23:22 |
| kerio | merlin1991: i never got rdate to work with ntp servers | 23:22 |
| merlin1991 | kerio: you need to use the one from the repos | 23:22 |
| FIQ | fastlane`: bad idea | 23:22 |
| merlin1991 | not the one by busybox :D | 23:22 |

| deepy | heya | 23:23 |
| fastlane` | i'll just listen to you guys i'll try to get tools from some shop if i can find them where i am i dont know the damn city | 23:23 |
| kerio | deepy: i'm sorry your nethack clan SUCKED BALLS | 23:23 |
| deepy | I'm both awake and not sick now | 23:23 |
| deepy | There's no results that says we didn't win :) | 23:23 |
| merlin1991 | nethack clan? o_O | 23:23 |
| kerio | deepy: http://nethack.devnull.net/tournament/scoreboard.shtml | 23:24 |
| kerio | best in show itexplodes, sigsegv in second place | 23:24 |
| kerio | merlin1991: nethack clan! | 23:24 |
| kerio | for the devnull tournament | 23:24 |
| merlin1991 | what excatly is the basis on which you judge player performance in nethack? | 23:24 |
| kerio | merlin1991: devnull uses an archaic trophy system, actually | 23:25 |
| kerio | you won't believe it, high scores actually count | 23:25 |
| kerio | which is why http://gunyoki.net/player/berry this dude always wins the clan competition by itself | 23:25 |
| *** BigBoxD__ has quit IRC | 23:25 | |
| deepy | I think someone counted that if Berry had been a clan, he would'nt have won this year | 23:26 |
| kerio | still, devnull is stupid | 23:26 |
| kerio | anyway | 23:26 |
| kerio | deepy: fixed your n900 yet? | 23:26 |
| merlin1991 | kerio: and how are you scored, ascentions over a period of time, or best score within timeframe? | 23:26 |
| deepy | Nope, I lack the tools to open it :\ | 23:27 |
| kerio | merlin1991: there's a bunch of ways to score points | 23:27 |
| deepy | I completed waldo without ever seeing waldo, or the dog | 23:27 |
| kerio | ahah | 23:28 |
| kerio | merlin1991: devnull has some quirky, and buggy, extra challenges | 23:28 |
| deepy | Which just makes it more fun | 23:28 |
| deepy | I was dumb enough to accept the pool challenge early | 23:28 |
| deepy | no way to push boulders \o/ | 23:28 |
| kerio | deepy: apart from the sensor thing, do you like your n900? | 23:29 |
| kerio | i'm the guy who told you to buy one, i feel somewhat responsible now | 23:29 |
| deepy | apart from the battery usage yeah | 23:30 |
| kerio | huh? it doesn't use a lot of battery | 23:30 |
| deepy | They managed to update LGs 4X HD so I now have more than a days battery on that one (yay) | 23:30 |
| deepy | But it doesn't last me very long either :p | 23:30 |
| kerio | but yeah, a little more than a day is what most people get, i think | 23:30 |
| deepy | I miss my Sony Ericsson W810i | 23:31 |
| deepy | 6 days battery time in general | 23:31 |
| kerio | well no kidding, it didn't do anything | 23:31 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | only 6 days? | 23:31 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | I get at least 8 days on my N900 | 23:31 |
| deepy | well yeah, I listened to music for 8 hours a day on it | 23:31 |
| kerio | DocScrutinizer05: :O | 23:31 |
| deepy | 8 days on your N900 eh? | 23:32 |
| kerio | i barely get two days | 23:32 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | when doing as little as SE W810i *can* do | 23:32 |
| deepy | Teach me your ways! | 23:32 |
| vi_ | DocScrutinizer05: not all of us do not use gsm. | 23:32 |
| kerio | oh | 23:32 |
| kerio | in standby | 23:32 |
| deepy | I gotta get started on making apps for it | 23:33 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | kerio: sure in standby. Do you really believe a W810i could do 6 days of screen backlight? | 23:33 |
| vi_ | with all radios off, and a stillsuit in good working order, an n900 can last 10 days in standby in the deep desert. | 23:33 |
| deepy | DocScrutinizer05: it could do like 3 days with the screen on | 23:33 |
| kerio | turned off, it can do a lot | 23:33 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | BWAHAHA | 23:33 |
| kerio | deepy: i think doc doesn't believe that | 23:33 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | lemme calculate... | 23:34 |
| vi_ | kerio: now my pet just died. | 23:34 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | ~1500/(24*3) | 23:34 |
| infobot | 20.833333333333 | 23:34 |
| kerio | vi_: not literally, i hope | 23:34 |
| vi_ | I liked it easier when I could just kill these fucking gnomes. | 23:34 |
| deepy | I'm making up numbers there, but while using the phone normally with a lot of screentime you'd still get like 2 days with no problems | 23:34 |
| kerio | oh, nethack | 23:34 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | 20mA for screen backlight? that's not really bright, but possible (if you power down *everything* else) | 23:34 |
| kerio | you can still kill those fucking gnomes | 23:34 |
| kerio | you just have the luxury to fight one at a time | 23:35 |
| vi_ | but god will get mad. | 23:35 |
| vi_ | and I cant see shit down here. | 23:36 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | deepy: N900 has basically awesome battery life, it just comes with the option to install and run really idiotic battery-hogging apps | 23:36 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | like skype | 23:36 |
| joga | hmm...but does skype hog battery if not logged in? | 23:36 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | no, if it's installed on your neighbour's desktop, it won't hog your phone's battery | 23:37 |
| joga | I get maybe around two days of battery time with minimal usage | 23:37 |
| joga | DocScrutinizer05 yeah just meant that is there some background foolery going on | 23:37 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | joga: usage != activity | 23:37 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | yes, skype is doing a LOT of that background foolery | 23:37 |
| joga | so what's the name of the package, apt-get install sensible-power-options? | 23:37 |
| vi_ | DocScrutinizer05: what is wrong with skype? (apart from the obvious) | 23:38 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | it runs skyhook or what's the name of that process | 23:38 |
| vi_ | joga: you could try battery patch. | 23:38 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | NOOOOOOO! | 23:38 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | better try a sledge hammer | 23:38 |
| vi_ | DocScrutinizer05: skyhost. | 23:38 |
| joga | no seriously, if you guys have this sorted out, a package would be nice if there's something everyone should do with their phone to get such benefits | 23:39 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | apt-get uninstall -purge skype | 23:39 |
| kerio | joga: it boils down to "all the shit you run reduces you battery life - some things by more than others" | 23:39 |
| joga | I've tried to tweak unneccessary stuff out but mostly in terms of usability and performance | 23:39 |
| kerio | *your | 23:39 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | remove generally all desktop widgets | 23:40 |
| joga | I only have one I think, which is nextalarm (or such) | 23:40 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | don't use 3G | 23:40 |
| joga | I used to use 2G but after a while noticed it didn't make a very big difference | 23:40 |
| kerio | DocScrutinizer05: not even to idle? | 23:40 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | exploit the magic of top, powertop, and bq27200.sh | 23:40 |
| kerio | without an active connection | 23:40 |
| kerio | DocScrutinizer05: do you reckon the n900 would keep looking for my home network once connected to a roaming one? | 23:41 |
| joga | when I was dating some girl some time ago her flat had this magical property of draining batteries, I guess it had very poor network in the corner where I had the phone | 23:41 |
| joga | went there with full battery, in the morning phone was dead | 23:42 |
| joga | :) | 23:42 |
| kerio | joga: was she worth it, at least? | 23:42 |
| joga | sure | 23:42 |
| kerio | life is all about tradeoffs | 23:42 |
| ShadowJK | I have some friends who have a cabin on a tiny island in the outer archipelago, N900 burns battery there even on 2g :) | 23:43 |
| kerio | do personal gsm/umts repeaters exist? | 23:43 |
| vi_ | dont overclock your phone. | 23:44 |
| ShadowJK | There's a sold/wind powered byuou based floating celltower some distance away | 23:44 |
| joga | DocScrutinizer05 I always try to keep unnecessary stuff to a minimum and have the cpu/mem systray thingy to notify me clearly if something (major) is going on, disabled all unnecessary transition effects etc, but seems there's much more to do then | 23:44 |
| ShadowJK | but depending on the seas and the sun/wind, it isn't always operating | 23:44 |
| vi_ | or if you must, limit yourself to 720MHz max. | 23:44 |
| ShadowJK | and reaching mainland needs like 4W in that case :) | 23:44 |
| vi_ | remove cpu/mem thing from systray. | 23:44 |
| kerio | vi_: what? :O | 23:45 |
| vi_ | uninstall battery eye | 23:45 |
| kerio | why? | 23:45 |
| vi_ | which one? | 23:45 |
| joga | oh damn, I've forgot all about the battery logging thing | 23:45 |
| kerio | the systray | 23:45 |
| joga | I haven't checked it in urm.. 2 years or so? but I guess it's still logging | 23:45 |
| vi_ | 213607 <kerio> joga: it boils down to "all the shit you run reduces you battery life - some things by more than others" | 23:45 |
| joga | I like the cpu/mem thing because it informs me to wait | 23:46 |
| kerio | vi_: tradeoffs | 23:46 |
| joga | and I know if I've pressed an icon or not :) | 23:46 |
| vi_ | zactly | 23:46 |
| ShadowJK | battery-eye isn't all that power consuming I think | 23:46 |
| vi_ | sha | 23:46 |
| kerio | the negligible power usage of the systray icon is definetely a good price to pay for the utility | 23:46 |
| ShadowJK | I wish iphb was more accessible to devs (is it at all usable to devs?) | 23:46 |
| vi_ | ShadowJK: perhaps not, but it causes a bunch of wakeups. | 23:47 |
| joga | kerio yeah I'd expect it to not hog anything with the screen off, but wouldn't know for sure | 23:47 |
| ShadowJK | If the systray icon updates even when screen is blanked, it'll cut alot of idletime | 23:47 |
| joga | why would it update | 23:47 |
| kerio | i hope it doesn't | 23:47 |
| kerio | i'm getting around 50 wakeups/s when idle | 23:47 |
| kerio | is it normal? | 23:48 |
| vi_ | what? | 23:48 |
| vi_ | that is not even possible. | 23:48 |
| kerio | too much? too little? | 23:48 |
| vi_ | there is never too little. | 23:48 |
| vi_ | but that is very few. | 23:48 |
| vi_ | how do you get it so low?? | 23:49 |
| kerio | idk man | 23:49 |
| kerio | i even have yappari running | 23:49 |
| vi_ | joga: screen brightness is a big hog. | 23:49 |
| kerio | Total wakeups 1470, 49.0/s | 23:49 |
| kerio | for 30 seconds | 23:49 |
| kerio | and powertop running on ssh over wifi | 23:49 |
| joga | vi_ yeah I have it at a decent level, not minimum though | 23:49 |
| vi_ | full brightness screen uses ~150mA | 23:50 |
| vi_ | kerio: aaah, ok. I understand now. | 23:50 |
| kerio | vi_: ? | 23:50 |
| vi_ | I used to be a bit obsessive about wakeups. | 23:51 |
| vi_ | Now I ignore then and just go by mA useage as reported by the rather fine bq27x00 script. | 23:51 |
| kerio | 11mA right now | 23:51 |
| kerio | wifi w/ powersaving, yappari running | 23:52 |
| kerio | my n900 actually does very little | 23:52 |
| * ShadowJK seems to be at 30mA idle | 23:52 | |
| * joga checks powertop | 23:53 | |
