kerioit feels like the majority of people here are on UTC or UTC+101:08
kerioi wonder if it's just confirmation bias01:08
*** kolp has quit IRC01:10
DocScrutinizer05confirmation bias? the endocrine form of self fulfilling prophecy?01:13
*** muellisoft has quit IRC01:13
*** githogori has joined #maemo01:14
keriowell, not quite01:14
kerioi live in UTC+1, and so i tend to notice discussions that happen when i'm awake a lot more01:15
kerioand those are, ofc, mostly betwen people living in timezones close to mine01:15

DocScrutinizer05hmm, so an externally introduced causal self fulfilling prophecy01:22
DocScrutinizer05usually same effect is caused by selective attention to the things that prove what you're assuming01:23
DocScrutinizer05let me put it this way: in USA the N900 never been that popular, for very real reasons01:25
DocScrutinizer05so your observation is probably correct, even while you're not watching during US timezone 'business' hours01:30
keriohm, you're right, it's not confirmation bias01:31
kerioi'm not actively looking for evidence that supports my thesis01:31

DocScrutinizer05guys, http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/5.0-final/libosso-abook/ etc - are those as well in SDK? or do we need to mirror it?14:33
DocScrutinizer05honestly, if you want your council to take care about keeping maemo.org infra alive, you should help on defining that task at least14:34
thedead1440agreed14:35
thedead1440oops wrong channel :S14:35
*** _rd has joined #maemo14:36
DocScrutinizer05we're giving a leg to backup everything, but we need input to know what "everything" means!14:37
souravyeah14:38
DocScrutinizer05*IF* original maemo.org servers go down inadvertently and never come back, and the backups we created *for you* are missing fundamental stuff, don't blame council or the volunteers that do those backups14:39
DocScrutinizer05there's a list of all we backup'ed so far, on http://maemo.cloud-7.de/migration-project/ (not on *.maemo.org, for obvious reasons). Pretty please check this list for completeness!!!!14:41
DocScrutinizer05if something is not in there, expect it to vanish eventually14:42
DocScrutinizer05not that this actually was the plan, but we need to be prepared for times when s**** hits the fan14:42
*** landho has quit IRC14:44
DocScrutinizer05there's a thread on tmo (expected to stay up and running til 20th of January) http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=88031    PLEASE add your findings and comments there!14:45
DocScrutinizer05no comments like "you rock/you suck" and similar please, but actual info about stuff we missed to backup14:46
kerio~pkg14:47
infobotit has been said that pkg is http://maemo.org/packages/14:47
*** muellisoft has quit IRC14:47
keriohm, wtf is kernel-maemo?14:48
DocScrutinizer05hmm, the kernel?14:48
*** M4rtinK has quit IRC14:48
keriono, that's kernel14:48
keriokernel-maemo is in extras14:48
DocScrutinizer05ugh14:48
DocScrutinizer05nfc14:48
kerio(and it's older than dirt)14:49
DocScrutinizer05lol14:49
kerioand by older than dirt i mean a year old14:49
DocScrutinizer05maybe some smartass ported maemo4 diablo kernel to extras repo? ;-P14:49
keriomaybe it's the kernel-power before kernel-power was kernel-power14:50
kerioit's got 22 versions14:50
DocScrutinizer05might be14:50
DocScrutinizer05who's maintainer?14:50
keriotanner14:50
DocScrutinizer05KP14:50
kerioyep, it's KP14:50
keriobut old14:50
DocScrutinizer05aaah I recall now14:51
keriothe extras repo need a serious cleanup14:51
DocScrutinizer05got stuck on builder, so he renamed the pkg14:51
*** freemangordon has joined #maemo14:51
*** krau|away is now known as krau14:51
DocScrutinizer05nobody ever removed that old kernel pkg, and tbh I dunno if we should14:52
HurrianDocScrutinizer, I suggest keeping only the newest version of the package per repo14:55
Hurrianfor older stuff, you could always pull the source14:55
DocScrutinizer05that's the newest version of that particular pkg14:55
DocScrutinizer05I'm pondering if there are issues when removing it, since ^^^(see above) pkg got renamed14:56
Hurrianmeh, you'll just have to rebuild the apt lists then14:57
DocScrutinizer05it's generally a poor idea to rename pkgs14:57
*** brzys has quit IRC14:57
DocScrutinizer05but if you do, you need to ponder possible issues with removing the old obsolete pkg14:57
HurrianDocScrutinizer05, let's just break things now so they're fixed in the future. The backup servers aren't live, so break things all you want.14:57
HurrianOh, by the way, is every single Harmattan PR LEGACY backed up?14:58
DocScrutinizer05first up, *I* can't do anything about it, generally and particularly not now14:58
Hurrianthat would be a massive waste of space, though14:58
DocScrutinizer05oh yeah, it was a massive waste of space ;-D14:59
HurrianDamnit Nokia, just resign PR 001 as PR 999 and git 'er done already14:59
DocScrutinizer05we only backed up the most recent versions, since downgrading not allowed on HARM anyway14:59
HurrianDowngrading? Feh! Even cross grading to lower PR LEGACY is barred15:00
*** drath_n900 has quit IRC15:00
DocScrutinizer05yup15:00
DocScrutinizer05anyway, that shit ate 750GB of our storage on backup server15:00
Hurrianugh. has exploring delta patches to LEGACY 001 been explored?15:01
DocScrutinizer05with old versions it would've been >2TB15:01
DocScrutinizer05yep15:01
DocScrutinizer05compression factor ~0.615:01
DocScrutinizer05:-o15:01
Hurrian750GB, geez. Just for a <10MB change in a single 2GB file.15:01
DocScrutinizer05indeed15:01
HurrianPeople who didn't flash to 001 will be railed pretty hard when they need to reflash and /don't/ have their firmware file15:02
DocScrutinizer05meh, we got all the newest FW images15:04
Hurrianwe gotta cut the crap on that though15:04
DocScrutinizer05so everybody can upgrade. If you wanna keep your obsolete version, you should keep the needed image to reflash though15:04
*** _rd has quit IRC15:05
Hurrianfeels like a waste keeping 750GB of the same thing.15:05
*** trx has quit IRC15:05
HurrianDocScrutinizer05, how about keeping only 001, 005, and the highest non-chinese firmware, and one chinese firmware for those unlucky enough to flash that crap?15:05
*** drath_n900 has joined #maemo15:06
kerioDocScrutinizer05: instead of removing, move to extras-obsolete15:07
DocScrutinizer05kerio: this idea has a certain appeal, but also some downsides15:08
kerioor even just keep the .debs around for storage purposes15:08
*** jonwil has joined #maemo15:08
DocScrutinizer05kerio: we'll deal with that *later*15:09
keriok15:09
*** brzys has joined #maemo15:09
DocScrutinizer05for now that's so much way down on my todo, i can't even see it with a telescope15:09
Hurrianoh, I was going to suggest unifying all the Extras-* into one single Extras, but some users say that some Devel packages are broken.15:09
*** dublon has joined #maemo15:09
DocScrutinizer05no changes on infra setup right now. We do migration and backup, and we got not a second to spare for any changes15:10
Hurrianah.15:11
HurrianWell, in the months after Maemo.org changes hands, as I understand it, the fat-trimming starts, right?15:11
DocScrutinizer05the migration nightmare is already more than I could digest on a extended period of time15:11
DocScrutinizer05right15:12
*** trx has joined #maemo15:12
DocScrutinizer05this will be spring the closest though15:12
jonwilso exactly which pieces of infrastructure are being migrated and which (if any) are going to disappear?15:13
DocScrutinizer05all. none (so the plan)15:13
DocScrutinizer05if only since we got no time to decide what's dispensable15:14
jonwilso the full contents of http://repository.maemo.org/ will be migrated?15:14
*** _rd has joined #maemo15:14
DocScrutinizer05sure15:14
jonwilok :)15:14
kerioHurrian: to be fair, "unifying" the extras- repos means deleting everything except extras-devel15:15
Hurriankerio, pretty much, yeah15:15
DocScrutinizer05for now FUNDING is our main problem15:16
jonwilIf I wasn't between jobs and low on cash myself, I would donate to the cause somehow...15:16
DocScrutinizer05not for the hosting (though colocation as designed by Nokia and donated as a gift to HF board will not exactly be cheap) but for professional adminsitration aka a fulltime sysop15:17
DocScrutinizer05so far Nokia paid Nemein for that15:17
DocScrutinizer05would any of you be willing to do a fulltime admin job for maybe 500EUR/month?15:18
DocScrutinizer05just asking15:18
* kerio would, but probably isn't capable of and has no qualifications and no experience15:19
DocScrutinizer05ok ok, maybe 50% part time15:19
*** FredrIQ|n900 has joined #maemo15:19
DocScrutinizer05though not during actual migration chaos, which will stay for at least 2 more months15:19
DocScrutinizer05yeah, what kerio said: professional grade server admin qualification mandatory15:20
jonwilI dont have the right qualifications either15:21
DocScrutinizer05board got 2kbuks of donations, which could suffice til end of this month15:21
DocScrutinizer05bucks*15:21
jonwilthat and I am not in the right part of the world anyway :)15:21
DocScrutinizer05part of the world is irrelevant15:22
jonwilok15:22
*** FIQ|n900 has quit IRC15:22
DocScrutinizer05but qualification is15:22
keriohuh, the openpandora is pretty much a n90015:22
DocScrutinizer05you'd take responsibility to not mess up an infra that several thousand users rely on15:22
jonwilonly qualification I have is a computer science degree on the wall15:22
keriobut with dual analogs15:23
jonwilwhich these days doesn't seem to mean much to most employers :(15:23
Skryone unemployed sysadmin here too with all kinds of certificates that don't mean shit to anyone anymore15:24
DocScrutinizer05Skry: you're sysadmin?15:24
HurrianSkry: you're unemployed?15:24
Skryyeah x215:25
* joga employed sysadmin with no certificates whatsoever15:25
DocScrutinizer05please send a mail to council@maemo.org15:25
Skrythough I've been doing something completely different for quite alot of years now15:25
keriowell, system administration is like cycling15:26

HurrianDocScrutinizer05, so main sysadmin does the bare metal, and sub-admins do the individual services (downloads,repo,talk,wiki)?15:31
DocScrutinizer05meh, that's a set of 2 or 3 dedicated servers running like 12 VMs15:32
DocScrutinizer05Hurrian: that's the idea15:32

HurrianIt's better to run our own hardware.15:33
SkryI'm not sure if I want to take responsibility of this magnitude, especially when I'm basically in a situation where I cant accept any payment since government is going to grab it anyways, I could however volunteer on some minor admin stuff at some point.15:34
DocScrutinizer05pretty welcome15:34

DocScrutinizer05you could become sysop of one of the VM for example15:35

DocScrutinizer05http://www.fujitsu.com/fi/products/computing/servers/primergy/rack/rx300/15:37
Hurrianhmm, so Nokia literally pulled the machines from Nemein and shipped them off to wherever HF will colo them?15:37
DocScrutinizer05friggin overkill if you ask me, but...15:38
DocScrutinizer05Hurrian: nope, Nokia paid Nemein to buy those rx300 and install them somewhere colo, then hand all the shite to HF15:39
DocScrutinizer05colo alone will probably kill us15:39
Hurrianwhoa, Nokia bought Sandy Bridge EP servers?15:40
Hurrianthose are a lot newer than I thought the Maemo.org servers ran on.15:40
HurrianDid they move them to new servers or something? IIRC Maemo.org ran on Core 2 Quad-generation Xeons sometime back15:40
DocScrutinizer05well, that's been the suggestion for HW to buy, on some "internal" paper by Nemein/Nokia/whomever15:40
DocScrutinizer05Hurrian: those are brand new irons15:41
DocScrutinizer05not even installed yet15:41
DocScrutinizer05sidenote: half of what I post here is unconfirmed hearsay, I'm not much more in any information-loop than any of you15:42
HurrianThat's nice. With all the beef behind that thing, one server really is enough.15:42
Hurrianah.15:42
*** retro|cz has joined #maemo15:43
kerioHurrian: well, we're not complaining about having more servers ofc15:43
HurrianWell, hopefully Nokia drops us a new server, and doesn't simply pull the running servers off the rack at Nemein.15:43
DocScrutinizer05yes we are, colo will kill us15:43
kerioD:15:43
DocScrutinizer05cheap colo is like 200 bucks per month for a 1HE 500W rack15:44
DocScrutinizer05and I'm not all that sure Nemein found the cheapest colo they could get on this planet either15:44
DocScrutinizer05and once some hw emits blue magic smoke on one of those irons, we're seriously doomed15:45
DocScrutinizer05on-site hands is like 30 bucks for 15 minutes15:46
HurrianDocScrutinizer05: that's why you get a good colo location15:46
Hurrianoh, that's driving distance for some admin or longtime maemo.org member15:46
DocScrutinizer05HAH!15:47
HurrianI've had horrible things happen with colos that had shit utilities, e.g. cooling15:47
Hurrianit's much more reassuring to be able to see the server in the first place15:47
DocScrutinizer05honestly, getting a dedicated server from a hoster is waaaay cjeaper and more manageable than any colo15:47
DocScrutinizer05this HW donation by Nokia been a poisoned gift, in my book15:48
keriosell servers, buy hookers^H^H^H^H^Hsting15:48
thedead1440exactly why not just sell and buy hosting? saves a great deal of trouble+costs15:49
DocScrutinizer05kerio: actually an option I ponder15:49
keriodid nokia buy the servers already?15:49
HurrianDocScrutinizer05, dedis get logarithmically expensive once you're above Core i5+16GB RAM-class servers15:49
DocScrutinizer05but Nokia paid Nemein to migrate shite to colo heavy duty Iron they paid for, and then donate that to HF. Only after that we can ponder our options15:50
DocScrutinizer05kerio: Nemein did15:50
thedead1440sell the servers back to Nemein and transfer things into a hoster15:50
DocScrutinizer05kerio: Nokia isn't doing such stuff, they hire service to get it done15:51
keriohm15:51
thedead1440i mean if they are willing to do so then it won't take more than a day or two to migrate everything over15:51
DocScrutinizer05thedead1440: that's the most favorite plan in parts of Board and Council right now15:52
thedead1440in parts? that means numerous discussions resulting in 0 results as usual?15:52
DocScrutinizer05hmm, yup15:52
thedead1440:S15:52
thedead1440let me guess you must be the only one in favour of that?15:53
DocScrutinizer05well, since we got no quotations on anything, not even colo costs yet, we're just handwaving15:53
*** cityLights has joined #maemo15:53
thedead1440why no quotes on colo yet?15:53

DocScrutinizer05I'm talking to Bergie since ~3h ago, I hope things start to move there as well15:54

DocScrutinizer05style*15:54
DocScrutinizer05sometimes that doesn't help to speed up communications15:55
DocScrutinizer05that's my take on that15:55
thedead1440well it seems they really think they are *replacing* Nokia for maemo.org in all ways15:55
HurrianDocScrutinizer05, if the colo costs really are crushingly huge, then I guess Maemo.org can be split across multiple midrange VPSes15:56
*** etrunko has quit IRC15:56
DocScrutinizer05so I started talking to co-hackers in private, on a low-official non-bureaucracy level15:56
DocScrutinizer05Hurrian: sure15:57
thedead1440Hurrian: actually 2 servers is more than enough for all maemo.org contents including TMO; the costs are cheaper than a VPS when storage is taken into account15:57
Hurrianthedead1440, ah, right, I forgot how huge Maemo.org really was15:57
Hurrianheck, TMO's DB is apparently 1TB, according to Reggie15:58
DocScrutinizer05I'm already paying a 'small' dedicated server where we set up a backup-hot-standby system to kick in whan plan A fails15:58
thedead1440Hetzener's 50Eur plan for a dedicated server X2 is all thats ever needed15:58
thedead1440Hurrian: no its 12GB not 1TB15:58
Hurrianoh15:58
thedead1440well i saw that on the ML15:59
DocScrutinizer05there are contradicting infos15:59
DocScrutinizer05regarding tmo15:59
thedead1440you mean on the size?15:59
DocScrutinizer05I for one would rather believe the 12GB figure16:00
thedead1440i saw that 12GB thing directly from Reggie on ML16:00
DocScrutinizer05yup, on a later post though he uttered something different iirc16:00
DocScrutinizer05maybe that's been the total size of storage on his server then16:00
thedead1440iirc he said later on ~400GB which was for traffic16:00
DocScrutinizer05:nod:16:01
DocScrutinizer05and ~10k mails per week16:01
thedead1440which in all honesty are very small16:01
DocScrutinizer05mail setup will be a PITA16:01
Hurrianman, TMO really needs to be condensed, unfortunately it could take man-decades to do so16:01
DocScrutinizer05Hurrian: that's the point16:01
DocScrutinizer05for now hosting isn't our problem, manpower is16:02
Hurrianfor the transition and all?16:02
DocScrutinizer05Nokia afaik paying for January&February hosting16:02

DocScrutinizer05Nemein right now migrating everything to vservers they provide, to buy them time to finish the new rx300 servers and then migrate again the vservers to those16:05
*** hardaker has joined #maemo16:06
DocScrutinizer05then hand over the rx300 irons to HF, and then we might migrate a third time :-o16:07

*** FredrIQ|n900 is now known as FIQ|n90016:09

DocScrutinizer05at least I think I did achieve to negotiate that - not entirely sure16:11

Hurriansounds about right16:24
Hurrianthere's lots of qualified MO members who can run one simple task, and check on it every hour or so16:25
Hurriancome to think of it we need a watchdog of sorts for each individual task16:26
DocScrutinizer05that's basically the idea about getting maintainer volunteers16:26
DocScrutinizer05and maybe even sub-sysops16:26
DocScrutinizer05not entirely clear on the latter16:26
Hurrianso basically, much like what Reggie does for tmo, and [Cross] Fade for the builder16:27
DocScrutinizer05we already apponted chem|st for maintainer of tmo16:27
DocScrutinizer05:nod:16:27
DocScrutinizer05chem|st accepted to do low-effort sub-sysop tasks like keeping an eye on CPU load and syslog as well16:28
DocScrutinizer05with such an arrangement we might not need sub-sysops, since the heavy lifting (like running system updates etc) might get done by paid main sysop then, also for the VM like tmo16:29
Hurrianhmm, we need to part out some more stuff, such as maintenance of the front page (Midgard, was it?), garage, wiki and all the small forgotten pages16:30
DocScrutinizer05yep, we need a lot of volunteers for that16:31
*** _InvalidHandle_ has quit IRC16:31
DocScrutinizer05for maintenance (== user account), not for sysop on that particular VM (==root account on that VM)16:31

DocScrutinizer05sure, I'm aware of the technical details - at least as much as needed to figure how our sysop will set it up16:33
DocScrutinizer05for now and for purpose of public discussion it's sufficient to state that those positions are NOT sysop positions but maintainer positions16:34

DocScrutinizer05random data is one good test pattern, writing strictly sequential like dd does is another different good one18:12

wirrhmm... this would mean there is one dedicated area for one FAT, and slower speeds for any other fs? still this shouldn't produce transmission errors for partitions != FAT or with their tables not in the first few sectors, am I wrong?18:20
kerioDocScrutinizer05: usually sandisk is better than that18:21
DocScrutinizer05nfc, just sharing some general thoughts. Only sandisk knows what's going on inside their card and how some hw defect might show up18:22
wirrmhm... had no probs on card reader, but the same pattern on two different n900s18:23
DocScrutinizer05swap the card, get another one18:24
kerioDocScrutinizer05: HF should fund the R&D for a ram-based uSD18:27

tadzikurgh. This is getting bad. Every time I have a phone call (call, receive, whatever), the screen goes black 90% of the time. I use the hardware screen unlocker sometimes, but then it still sometimes goes black again after half a second or so21:05
tadzikis there, by any chance a way to tell it "under no circumstances go black whilst a call is being made?"21:05
kerioit would be a tklock thing i think21:06
kerioi also get that sometimes, but i assumed it was fmg's fault21:06

tadzikit seems to get better sometimes when I squeeze the display near the sensor22:39
Ikarusanyone know if you can force a N900 to detect a sd card22:40
tadzikperhaps it has moved too far from the glass, and it thinks it my ear?22:40
Ikarusthe magnet for back open/close detection is gone on this back and I can't replace it easily22:41
tadzikyeah, it gets definitely better after a "squeeze"22:41
tadzik(most of the time)22:41
ShadowJKscreen protector covering it?22:43
*** halXI has joined #maemo22:43
tadziknah, screen protector is cut nicely around it22:44
tadzikit's right in the corner of it22:44
tadzikbut well, this is the flex cable I have inserted there, when the factory one broke22:44
tadzikmaybe that I let some dirt slip in, or such?22:45
tadzikiirc, proximity sensor is part of it22:45
tadzikI wonder if I can replace it with a static file saying "open" :D22:47

tadzikwell, it seems as if the jack plug is loose inside it23:00
tadzikI was wondering if it's a bad thing, but in the end it appears that it's the headphones which start to break near the jack plug. As always23:01
DocScrutinizer05well, then it has too much free gap to the bay in case where it sits in23:01
