Estel_is it just me, or maemo repos are down for downloading too?01:04
Estel_(haven't found anything about repositories on OP of thread mentioned in #maemo topic, don't have time/will to read through dozens of other, mostly useless, pages of that thread)01:07
DocScrutinizer05WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!01:07
DocScrutinizer05look again, update5-updateupdate01:07
*** Aoyagi has left #maemo01:08
Estel_ough01:08
Estel_thought, that update 6, "big green letters" "mission accomplished" nullifies that01:09
DocScrutinizer05no, since the whol ethread is about *tmo* migration01:09
* Estel_ nodas01:10
Estel_that why I didn't wanted to read it thoroughly re repos01:10
DocScrutinizer05and the fact that you can *read* "mission accomplished" is the proof in intself01:10
Estel_and where is thread about repos? ;)01:10
Estel_or any other place wheree one can get updated about repo status, without need to harras them with pings/update attempts?01:11
DocScrutinizer05I'm afraid somebody will start it in 5 seconds01:11
Estel_;)01:11
Estel_so, basically, repos are down, but it doesn't matter, as TMO is working and thats all that counts? :|01:11
Estel_joking a little ;)01:11
Estel_OK, will try my update in a week or so. Thanks for info01:11
brknEstel_: use a tmp mirror01:12
Estel_brkn,  thats something of value to know - where it is located?01:12
DocScrutinizer05listen buddy, we moved 95% of maemo to a new home this week, and migration went exceptionally smooth, and now I got weekend and CBA to get pestered by anybody about it01:12
brknhttp://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1315143&postcount=9601:13
brknbut wait for 15 mins01:13
Estel_congratulations, I'm impressed. I hope it settles in new home smoothly ( DocScrutinizer05)01:13
Estel_brkn, thanks a lot01:13
brknresync is currently running for community + community extras +  extras + extras devel01:14
brknthe other ones you can safely use01:14
* DocScrutinizer05 thinks woody's suggested 3 days of downtime wouldn't suffice probably for the intended purpose01:16
Estel_thanks a lot, it will do the job01:16
DocScrutinizer053 weeks feels more appropriate01:17
DocScrutinizer05brkn: please take down l2 ;-d01:17
brknshall i?01:18
brknpoor Estel_  xD01:18
DocScrutinizer05nah, i'll do it01:18
Estel_take down 12? what does it mean?01:18
DocScrutinizer05you know, *me* is BOFH01:18
brknack01:18
brknget yourself a beer and let me finish01:19
brknsync is done01:19
DocScrutinizer05:-D01:19
DocScrutinizer05j7k01:19
DocScrutinizer05Estel_: it means brkn and me negotiated who of us is entitled to take down the server he's maintaining and i pay for, so you might leran something01:20
*** jrocha has quit IRC01:20
Estel_no freakin idea what you're talking about, but maybe I'm not in mood for your sense of humour today ;)01:21
brknactually it's good you came along01:22
DocScrutinizer05since people think they are entitled for premium service, till there's suddenly no service at all anymore01:22
brknwould you mind to test extras and community?01:22
*** BCMM has quit IRC01:22
Estel_but if you mean what you think I mean, I'm pretty sure, that from both of us, i'm the one with much less problem to have no official maemo reepos for 3 weeks ;)01:23
Estel_or no at all01:23
Estel_brkn,  extras and community? sure, why not01:23
Estel_sync is done so, actually, all of them should work now, yep?01:23
brknack01:23
brknor add all fremantle just for fun01:24
Estel_roger that ;)01:24
brknand run a update to see whether packages still report mismatch of hashsums01:24
DocScrutinizer05you finally fixed dat shite?01:24
DocScrutinizer05got 26.12 repo copy?01:24
Estel_can it be done via apt, or you want to torment me like namelesa one, and require doing it via ham? ;)01:25
brknapt01:25
brknDocScrutinizer05: no, mirrored extras and community from merlin199101:25
DocScrutinizer05so the latter01:26
brkni dropped extras-devel-testing01:26
brkngot us down from 425gb to 344gb01:26
brkni wonder what those packages where01:26
DocScrutinizer05dropped wut?01:26
brknwere01:26
brknmerlin said extras-devel-testing is crap01:26
DocScrutinizer05no such thing01:26
brknor sth similar to that01:26
brknsec01:26
DocScrutinizer05merlin said extras-testing is redundant01:27
DocScrutinizer05extras-devel however shouldn't get dropped01:27
brknextras-testing i meant01:28
brknnot extras-devel01:28
DocScrutinizer05dat shite01:28
brknextras-testing was huuuge01:28
DocScrutinizer05nuke it01:28
brkni did01:28
brknbesides i have a second complete copy01:28
DocScrutinizer05:nod:01:29
brknyou should know by now i am way too paranoid to keep a single copy01:29
DocScrutinizer05where's our traffic?01:29
brknwhere?01:29

brknnice01:31
Estel_update on progress, will report after 2014 when it's finished ;)01:31
DocScrutinizer05I don't get it how we can be at 1.0TB with a disk that holds way more01:31

brkn*fg01:33
brknEstel_: report?01:33
Estel_looks like I screwed something, as it suddenfly failed miserably, errors exceeded my terminal history backscroll01:34

Estel_brkn,  ^^^01:36
Estel_what have I missed?01:36
brknnow that looks nice01:37
Estel_I think that most important part is repeated:01:38
Estel_Err http://skeiron.org fremantle/non-free Packages01:38
Estel_zip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.01:38
brknall failed to fetch is because there are no bz2, only gz01:38
DocScrutinizer05sunprocess bzwip2 failed - wasn't that an error due to messybox-powa01:38
* Estel_ nods01:38
*** edheldil has quit IRC01:38
Estel_shouldn't be.01:38
Estel_well, as proud user of bash and standard busybox, test it yourself to filter out ;)01:39
DocScrutinizer05nah, i'll gonna rm -rf the source01:39
Estel_it would be quite funy, if it would be first busybox-power bug in few years, which I doubt, anyway...01:40
Estel_Even more fun to watch would be how quickly iDont fixes it ;)01:40
Estel_brkn,  I'm off for a few minutes - just ask if any further testing needed, will proceed upon returning01:41

DocScrutinizer05this statement is nonsensical in two (and thus all) ways: a) i've seen that error before, so it wouldn't be first error. and b) I see it again, so obviously it wasn't fixed in a fraction of a day01:47

chem|stDocScrutinizer05: there is no smtp server sending the mails...03:27
WizardNumberNextchemjst and DocScrutinizer05: I just have setup two courier servers in row last week. I can fix that03:29
WizardNumberNextchem|st: ^^03:29
*** wirr has quit IRC03:31
chem|stWizardNumberNext: we do not need a mailserver... do we?03:32
chem|stsendmail should be enough03:32
WizardNumberNextI definitely do not deal with sendmail. Not mine caliber. When something is complex, then I deal with it, otherwise I am too lazy to learn configuration. There must a challange03:33
chem|stDocScrutinizer05: sendmail or proper smtp... mx record for tmo needs to be handled too as there should be webmaster@talk.maemo.org reachable03:34
WizardNumberNextI made my own samba server, squid3 proxy, double AP, firewall with magling and transparent redirection, DHCP, DNS - thats part of is "running" on server03:35
WizardNumberNexthard to say running as it apears for microseconds and disappears. On single core 0.8GHz I had 96% idle, now on 4 core 0.8GHz running RT kernel I have 97% IDLE03:37
chem|stDocScrutinizer05: any maemo.org smtp is suitable... I just need a login or something03:38
*** trx has joined #maemo03:38
WizardNumberNextI am going to put it on Xen again, but I am bit lazy and preparation takes slightly too much to just sit down and do it on one go - it would take whole day and another03:38
WizardNumberNextchem|st: I kanda like courier - it just runs. I have access to system e-mail without any problem and thats only reason why I have it, but it is proven on other server that my config works both way (in and out)03:40
chem|stWizardNumberNext: quick and dirty would be: you give me credentials for a smtp...03:41
WizardNumberNextit is not any big (at least for my server - 8GiB of RAM (actually 4GiB squid can swallow + whatever else it wants + cache)03:41
WizardNumberNextcredentials? for which smtp?03:42
chem|stany... I don't care03:42
*** shawnjefferson has joined #maemo03:42
WizardNumberNextI can give config - all you need is to get couries + esmtps + imaps03:42
WizardNumberNextchem|st: do you have IPv6 address?03:43
WizardNumberNextIPv4 doesn't work from time of provider change03:43
WizardNumberNextat least didn't work from box03:43
WizardNumberNextif you do not have IPv6 address, then register at tunnelbroker.net and get tunnel03:44
WizardNumberNextit would actually make everything easier03:44
chem|stWizardNumberNext: not my call, I was told to NOT handle the server03:45
*** Pali has quit IRC03:46
WizardNumberNextchem|st I do play with servers, but that is what I do for fun at the moment, it is not for money at the moment. When I started i had no idea what I was doing. System and server - that are two different subjects03:49
WizardNumberNextsystem have its complexity, and server soft have its complexity, but it completely different complexity03:49

Today I have router, firewall, proxy, dns, dhcp, nfs, samba, courier (smtpS, imapS), proftpd (SFTP/FTPS),  apache and who know what else - cannot remember all at once - I am going to migrate it (AGAIN!) to Xen soon04:08

*** pvanhoof has quit IRC06:27
MentalistTraceurAll the google results are either unrelated programs segfaulting (since like every other command is preceded with sudo nowadays, so google matches those pages), or segfaults from badly set up /etc/sudoers files, but I haven't modified sudoers at all from the one make install creates.06:27

MentalistTraceurgrummund, for the N900 you mean?06:35
*** radic has joined #maemo06:35
MentalistTraceurNot that I know of, though it's fairly easy to remap hardware keyboard to add them.06:35
*** radic_ has quit IRC06:36
grummundn900 yes.06:36
grummundin particular to send the maemo web browser to top of page.06:36
MentalistTraceurOh. Yeah, standard Home key (which I havmapped to Fn+Left Arrow) works to do that.06:38
MentalistTraceurWant me to find the wiki page for the remapping keyboard how-to?06:38
khmgrummund: shift+space works as pageup in the browser06:38
MentalistTraceurkhm: Doesn't seem to do so for me.06:39
khmweird06:39
khmhttp://tinyurl.com/n900keys06:41
khmit's listed in the official user guide06:41
khmand it works here.06:41
khmgrummund: shift+up and shift+down are supposed to act like home and end in the browser06:41
khmbut something may have broken these shortcuts apparently06:41
MentalistTraceurNow Shift+Up and Shift+Down work for me.06:42
grummundexcellent, thank you :)06:43
MentalistTraceurGranted, only in the browser as far as going to the top and bottom of screen goes (not in text boxes)06:43
MentalistTraceurI presume you no longer need this, then, but to anyone interested: http://wiki.maemo.org/Remapping_keyboard06:44
MentalistTraceurIn case someone idling in here needed it and didn't already know about it or how to find it easily.06:44
grummundkhm: works for me too (in maemo browser)06:44
grummundbut only as simultaneous key press06:45
khmcorrect06:46
MentalistTraceurI honestly have no idea why it wasn't self-evident to Nokia to map PgUp, PgDn, Home, and End, to some keys. I get that for the layouts with only two arrow keys they've have had a harder time, but everything else can easily accomodate it on Fn+arrows.06:48
MentalistTraceurEven if you suppose users wouldn't type enough on-device to need them (a flawed supposition at best), they could've then used those standard keys for their expected behavior, instead of adding their own app-specific key combinations.06:50
khmI can't really say I use home or end ever06:52
khm99% of the time I'm in a terminal and ^a ^e work06:52
MentalistTraceurMeh. Point is, it wouldn't have harmed anyone, because I doubt you ever found yourself needing to hold Fn while pressing arrow keys, where-as my use of the N900 is vastly improved by having those keys, and since I've seen other people use the same mappings, I know I'm not the only one.06:55
*** user_ has joined #maemo06:56
MentalistTraceurAs for myself specifically, my typing on the N900 is about evenly split between commandline and not (I like coding in the primitive busybox vi, actually) and other text input.06:56
MentalistTraceurFor instance, I have never been on FreeNode's IRC using anything other than an N900 that I can remember. And as you can see, I'm quite verbose, so it greatly helps having those keys.06:57
MentalistTraceurThough ideally, I would prefer that almost everything was left to user choice... so my ideal setup would have provided users with a clear GUI to remap the keyboard for themselves to begin with.06:58
khmif I were a project manager and a software engineer told me with a straight face he wanted to include an on-device xkb map editor in the product, I would fire him before he could finish the sentence07:03
MentalistTraceur*Shrug*. That most likely (but would really depend on circumstance) if I were creating a phone operating system, I probably wouldn't want you as a project manager.07:07
MentalistTraceurGranted, I see your point, it's effort on a feature that most people wouldn't use, and which a decent amount would manage to misuse into screwing up their devices.07:08
*** pablocastellanos has quit IRC07:10
MentalistTraceurSo I wouldn't give it great priority, nor would I think it should be particularly easy to get to. And I would put a warning pop-up on it so those who don't know what they're doing are encouraged to just back out and leave it alone. And on further thought, I wouldn't mind it being optware, rather than prebundled... In fact that's probably better. But provided to the users in a easy-ish way to get to, I think it should b07:12

khmit wouldn't sell phones.07:12
*** pablocastellanos has joined #maemo07:17
MentalistTraceurI think little touches like that - the ability to make the system behave how you want it, helps make the difference between a typical phone that you're fine with, but will upgrade from to any other manufacturer without a second thought, and a phone that you remember as one that did what you wanted, how you wanted it. So in the short term? Of course it wouldn't sell anything. But in the long term, assuming the rest of t07:17
MentalistTraceurhe OS was actually good and not just a hacker/nerd phone OS, it would provide for long-term loyalty.07:17
khmnope07:18
khmnot for any measurable percentage of any market in the world07:18
MentalistTraceurDisagree. It's a long term thing, but if you managed to survive long enough as a company, it would pay off. Modern consumer culture and typical business-think might get away with forgetting that users are more than just mindless buyers of the latest shiny, but it doesn't mean there's nothing there.07:22
khmusers are not more than just mindless buyers of the latest shiny.07:22
MentalistTraceurAnd whether or not it's measurable is unlikely to be conclusively demonstrable at this time, because I don't believe in modern times any company has ever tried it.07:23
*** user_ is now known as lunde07:34
MentalistTraceurThey are, though (more than mindless buyers of the latest shiny). Or more accurately, they can be, if treated right. There are many flaws with humans, en-masse and as typical individuals, but I am not so cynical as to forget that all of those people are indeed people, with various feelings and ideas. I cannot count the number of times I have seen frustration from people over the fact that their device couldn't do what07:35
MentalistTraceurthey wanted, and a decent amount of the time, it is not necessary that it be so limited, it was only corporate selfish bottom-line pursuing that caused the maker of the thing in question to not bother, either to concieve of the possibility that someone might prefer the option, or to invest the time into adding it. I'll certainly agree that on average, especially in current cultures, users do for the most part mindlessl07:35
MentalistTraceury buy the latest shinies - but it's not like they're realistically ever given the opportunity to become anything else, because most devices focus on being just that - shinies. And sure, for every little choice you spend the time on enabling, only a handful of users will bo swayed. But if the rest of the system is good, and on top of that user choice is respected and enabled systematically in as many places as possible,07:35
MentalistTraceur it's inevitable that over time people would notice, that something they wanted to do, and couldn't on their other shinies, was not only possible, but relatively easy, on that one shiny. And sure, I could be wrong, and if I ever see sufficient evidence of that, I will change my views, but thus far, that has not been the case.07:35
*** zhxt has joined #maemo07:35
MentalistTraceurAlright, I imagine you are bored of this discussion, and I am getting very wordy.07:35
khmit's moot07:35
khmsince the market spake07:35
khmand lo, nobody paid07:36
MentalistTraceurThe market never spake, because it has never been done properly yet.07:36
khmpeople say that about tons of things07:36
khmit doesn't matter07:36
khmsocialism, kindness, charity, religion07:36
MentalistTraceurNo device has thus far enabled user choice without making it require above-average tech-savvy-ness.07:36
khm'never did it just right' where 'right' has approximated 'my way'07:37
MentalistTraceur(No religion, actually, I am very much a-religious, and don't consider it to be connected to the other three)07:37
khmthe flaw there is that desire for choice has tech-savvy as a build-time dependency07:37
MentalistTraceurExcept it doesn't, and therein is the flaw in your reasoning.07:37
khmyou never want a choice if you don't think you know better than the product engineer07:37
khmbut I'm not here to convince you07:38
khmbecause again, it's moot.07:38
khmwhen you find a company who wants to ship an xkb map editing gui on a telephone, let me know.  I'll send you a hundred dollars and make fun of them on twitter.07:38
MentalistTraceur*Shrug* K. If it ever happens, will do. Won't get my hopes up, but that's hardly sound proof in itself. One last note on the tech-savvy bit though: There's plenty of people who want thing X to do thing Y without being of the opinion that they can design the entirety of X better. E.g Windows users not liking the Start Menu going away, without having even minimal tech-savvy. In a sense, yes, they might think they are kno07:44
MentalistTraceurw better than the product engineer about whether there should be a start menu, but that's a conceptual difference, and does not depend on the capacity to program anything, or delve into system internals on the command-line. It just requires the concept of wanting the start menu.07:44
khm...which you learned about from previous tech experience.07:45
khmgot it.07:45
khmtotally consistent, nothing circular there.07:45
MentalistTraceurThere isn't, because again, that's not tech-experience of the not-needing-GUI form.07:46
khmyou're conflating tech experience with command-line usage?07:46
khmeesh, I'm out.07:46
MentalistTraceurNay, I am using command-line usage as the obvious alternative to a provided GUI.07:47
MentalistTraceurEditing system files and the like are others, but whatever.07:47
MentalistTraceurAnyway, if this ever interests you as a discussion topic again, by all means, bring it up. Though I suspect it will not, which fine by me as well.07:50
MentalistTraceurAnd on that note, I will be heading out. Have a good day/evening/whatever-time-it-is.07:51

Estel_could I use your expertise about filesystems and flash for a while?18:35
Estel_I'm trying to tune filesystem to avoid those damn fsck-will-nuke-our-flash-filesystem errors18:36
Estel_...at the same time, tuning for max performance in case of our flash storage. EasyDebian partition (not file, obviously)* is my guinea pig18:36

Estel_now, to the question:18:37
kerioif you're worried about the actual NAND, then don't worry, ubifs doesn't even have a fsck18:37
Estel_in case of our flash storage, does data=ordered have any sence over data=writeback18:37
Estel_?18:37
Estel_or data=journal18:38
Estel_AIUI, we don't want fsck to touch filesystem with a long stick, and rely on big journal18:38

keriomassoud: it's in extras(-something)18:41
Estel_same question goes for barriers, as we're definitely battery powered - there is chance for crash, but rather not for complete, rapid power loss - we should be safe to do barrier=0 yep?18:41

ShadowJKEstel_; as for journal options, I'm not sure18:43
sq-oneanybody knows when the official software repositories will be available again?18:43
ShadowJKEstel_; barriers will severely slow things down I feel. As for performance, I'd investigate the raid stripe options, and tune for 64k/4M18:44
sq-onenevermind, saw the link above...18:44
ShadowJKEstel_; ext4 will perform much better I'm told18:44
ShadowJKi tried data=journal recently and it didn't impress18:44
ShadowJKalso, I think for file integrity, flash is more or less screwed whatever you do18:45
kerioShadowJK: how do you raid on the n900? :o18:45
ShadowJKi didnt say that18:45
ShadowJKext3 has options at mkfs time to give it hints about the underlying raid topology. We dont have raid, but in some ways the flash behaves somewhat similarily18:46
massoudkerio : excellent thanks, i wanted to use git-core on my n900 and less was missing ... now i can git log projects such as openbsc on my n90018:47
kerioi see18:47
keriomassoud: fwiw, extras-devel-light is a much better option18:47
Estel_ShadowJK,  so better to keep data=writeback for performance, or data=ordered may force things to be less screwed, a little (by forcing writing to filesystem before journal commit)?18:47

Estel_searching for approriate options re ext4, now18:58
keriohm, why are mkfs.foo in /usr/sbin?18:58
Estel_any comment on our commit seconds discussion?18:58
ShadowJKnokia picked commit=1, and also tweaked vm to begin writing back early, so that we dont get massive stalls when huge amount of data would wait in ram and be written out in a burst18:58
kerioShadowJK: that's more or less irrelevant if you have the swap on usd, right?18:59
ShadowJKno18:59
Estel_funny enough, to make swap more usable and stable (proven, real-life tested) we need to make it as big burst as possible :P19:00
Estel_but filesystem is not swap, after all19:00
kerioShadowJK: won't home and swap being on different devices avoid those stalls?19:00
Estel_you know what I mean on the above, despite it's being mental shortcut :P19:01
ShadowJKwell.. swap on fremantle, before fragmentation sets in, is sequential.. with good cards able to keep 5 AU's open simultaneously, we could in theory write to swap, and *a* file simultaneously without speed penalty19:01
ShadowJKwith the best known cards, and no swap, we could do like 3 files without penalty!19:01
Estel_;)19:02
*** muelli has joined #maemo19:02
ShadowJKSo I gather the aim was to trickle files to storage instead of trying to update 600 files all at once every 10 minutes19:02
Estel_64k/4m stripe apply to ext4 as much as ext3?19:05
DocScrutinizer05at openmoko we had a performance optimization team which did weeks and months of tests and tweaking. I guess Nokia most likely did same, alas afaik all that never got public, neither the design goal specs nor any results of tests nor the consequences taken from those. So we're doomed to go thru all that again. So much for FOSS development in huge companies19:06
ShadowJKEstel_; yeah it's just a handwave guess of the flash properties19:07
ShadowJKTomTom publishes results of their "repeatedly forcible remove SD card while writing to card", iirc19:08
ShadowJKbasically only vfat gave vaguely safe results19:08
kerio:o19:09
DocScrutinizer05KISS approach19:09
keriosurely ext4 with data=journal is safe by design19:09
DocScrutinizer05bwahaha19:09
*** sandwitch has joined #maemo19:09
ShadowJKrofl19:09
keriohm, maybe not, nobody knows what SDs do19:09
Estel_surely it isn't ;)19:09
DocScrutinizer05some of us have a certain idea of a few details of what an SD is doing internally19:10
ShadowJKAt best, ext* assumes 4k blocks like recent HDs have.. on flash the blocksize is essentially unknown, but modern day SDs have empirically been determined to have 4M, 6M, 8M, 12M blocksizes.. if block is halfwritten on powerloss, worst case entire block is garbage, best case you get an old version of it, or then a mix :)19:11
DocScrutinizer05and if kswapd also had those ideas, it would benefit swap performance a friggin lot19:11
kerioShadowJK: can't you specify a certain block size?19:11
ShadowJKDocScrutinizer05; the fremantle swap is quite close, it's only missing gc19:11
ShadowJKkerio; no it's a physical/electrical property of the flash19:12
keriono, i mean, to extfs19:12
DocScrutinizer05rtfm?19:12
ShadowJKwell the choices are 2k or 4k, iirc.19:12
DocScrutinizer05aka man mkfs19:13
ShadowJKthis is why I suggested using the raid options, as raids have some similar properties such as too small write triggering read-modify-write19:13
Estel_no way, even the blast vfat have more choices of block sizes19:13
ShadowJKWell also using a 12M filesystem blocksize would mean storing a 3 byte file would use up 12M of space19:14
DocScrutinizer05-b block-size19:14
DocScrutinizer05              Specify  the  size  of  blocks in bytes.  Valid block-size values are 1024, 2048 and 4096 bytes per block.19:14

DocScrutinizer05took me like 13.5s19:15
Estel_,and what? it doesn't help us in any way, + what ShadowJK said.19:15
DocScrutinizer05[2013-01-19 18:13:43] <Estel_> no way, even the blast vfat have more choices of block sizes  --  ANd WHAT?!19:16
Estel_ShadowJK,  I'll test that raid stripes empirically19:16
Estel_DocScrutinizer05,  out of context ;)19:16
Estel_more = bigger than 4096 bytes19:17
Estel_<ShadowJK> well the choices are 2k or 4k, iirc.19:17

Estel_= same, except for 1k addition in the latter19:17
Estel_anyway19:17
DocScrutinizer05exactly, while your rant been mere bogus19:18
Estel_I'm not the one ranting about reading fuckin manual ;) back on track, please?19:18
DocScrutinizer05you're the one posting nonsense19:19
Estel_ShadowJK,  any ideas about modyfing buffer heads options to acompany data=writeback, and it's feasibility?19:21
Estel_bh is default option, while nobbh sounds more sensible for data=writeback19:21
Estel_IIUIC19:21
Estel_quoting, ""nobh" option tries to avoid associating buffer heads, (supported only for "writeback" mode."19:23
*** hardaker has quit IRC19:23
Estel_last but not least, ShadowJK, there is also mount-time option "stripe=", which seems to be doing same thing. Any comment on differencies between using this and mkfs-time one? that was last question, I promise ;)19:25
kerionobh is deprecated, afaik19:26
Estel_hm, for what reasons? it's still in kernel documentation for mount ext419:27

Estel_-nobh means that it tries to avoid associating buffer heads19:35

*** timmy has quit IRC21:01
freemangordonthus "dangerous"21:02
ShadowJKEstel_; kills perf for no benefit I would say21:02
GearI was hoping someone had made an archery app21:02
Estel_it is related to ext4 only, because ext3 doesnt have barriers21:02
Estel_by default21:03
Superpelicanmerlin1991:So I should install the CSSU installer, then delete the maemo.org cssu repo and add the mirror "community" repo manually?21:03
Estel_freemangordon,  so, I don't see how it could affect other filesystems, i.e. default maemo ones21:03
*** brzys has quit IRC21:03
Estel_and as ShadowJK said, barriers are PITA for us, hurting performance, without ensuring file integrity, anyway21:03
ShadowJKnew barriers are probably just as pointless too21:04

freemangordon;)21:05
ShadowJKAlso, I'm not sure if barriers are supported on mmc :)21:05
Estel_it won't improve integrity of files, but wont hurt them too, gaining performance (in optimistic scenario)21:05
freemangordons/first/the first/21:05
*** Gear_ has joined #maemo21:05
ShadowJKEstel_; currently barriers aren't used, so there'd be no performance gain?21:05
Gear_so I should disabe extras testing until I need it, are there any repositories I dont' know about that have cool things in them?21:06

Estel_ShadowJK,  in ext4, they're used21:07
*** Gear has quit IRC21:07

Estel_nobarriers doesnt work without that path afaik21:08
Gear_poop, I have to transfer pictures to windows computers21:08
Estel_with it it doesnt work too :P21:08
kerioat best you get a fairly decent read-only mode with external drivers21:08
freemangordonGear_: relax, you don;t have ext4 on your device21:08
Estel_but uses other, less performance hurting method21:08
Gear_I don't? I use power kernel and cssu stable21:08

freemangordonAFAIK only a couple of people did it21:11

ShadowJKext4 has barrier option just like ext3, are you saying passing barrier=0 to ext4 has no effect?21:11
Estel_to be absolutely honest (and very *not* politically right) it's easy as a piece of cake, but still, only a dozens of people or so use it21:12
* freemangordon is tempted to give Gear_ vi's medicine :D21:12
Estel_ShadowJK,  now I'm not sure anymore. I'm sure that -nobh option doesn't work at mkfs time21:12
Estel_but nobarrier at mount time21:12
Gear_would I see a performance increase if I did use ext4 wherever you're talking about?21:13
kerioi was thinking of disabling the ubifs compression21:13
ShadowJKbarrier=021:13
Estel_should work, me think, which would nullify need for "my" patch21:13
freemangordonkerio: do we have so much free space already?21:13
keriomaybe you don't, but i do21:13
Estel_are you taunting freemangordon ? :P21:13
freemangordonaah, yes, you've removed "nokia hands" video :P21:13
Gear_I don't have a hell of a lot of free rootfs or optfs space left21:13
kerioand optified /var/lib/dpkg, /var/lib/apt, locale-archives, /usr/lib/gcc21:14
freemangordonEstel_: no, he is just trolling me :)21:14
Gear_I disabled extras testing but it didn't say "blah blah cleared"21:14
freemangordonkerio: good for you that you've optified /var/lib/apt21:14
Estel_Gear_,  ext4 benefits performance quite a lot, but unless you correct swap settings, and do other many things like reading a wiki, you won't see any gain due to "crap on yourf device" ;)21:14
Gear_there is only stuff I use, but I'm not sure how to check for stuff I don't use or things that are left over from... things I'm unaware of21:15
Estel_freemangordon,  I rather meant kerio teasing you by "maybe yoiu don't, but I do"21:15

Estel_magic, as he said21:20

Gear_I'm sur ethe process of putting it on would be at least as difficult as a space suit21:56
Gear_also it should have a rebreather21:57
DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: (epoxy) a) epoxy is more flexible than solder, so solder will break first. and b) epoxy would only glue to the green varnish unless you remove it and thoroughly sandpaper the copper under it21:57
Gear_it can admimister intravenous drugs and has muscle augmentation, a rebreather would be a simple addition21:57
DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: and c) epoxy is nearly impossible to remove or rework when sth goes wrong21:58
Estel_freemangordon,  as "some" claims, hardened epoxy is much more elastic than solder joins, so while it keeps usb in place, it doesnt protect it from damage to usb pads and it's solder21:58
Gear_I'd use solder21:58
Estel_and it's true for most consuimer grade epoxies21:58

Estel_there are, available for purchase, epoxies that are less elastic than metal21:58
Gear_I' duse solder21:58
Estel_but they're not as that adhesive21:58
Gear_but I haven't taken the phone that far apart21:58
Estel_soldering is better option21:59
Estel_if someone doesn't touch soldering iron with long stick and want to use epoxy no matter what, I would recommend ones used to repair hydraulic21:59
Estel_in form of 2-part "putty", seals underwater (lol@ factoid) and after sealing ressemble rock, not elastic at all. Sadly, it's still quite hard to attach it properly, it resemble toy putty in consistence22:00
Estel_frankly, i see soldering both easier and more robust22:01
eyescreamAre the temp repos linked on tmo trustworthy?22:01
Estel_downside - even people experienced with soldering (like me or vi) happen to run into strage issue after soldering22:01
kerioeyescream: is repository.maemo.org trustworthy?22:01
Estel_despite that only usb shield is soldered to shieldplane, device starts to turn on itself upon inserting battery22:01
kerioEstel_: have you tried a22:02
Estel_and in extreme cases, turn on in act_dead mode no matter what, requiring one to set r&d flag pwr_button22:02
kerio~n900-full-reset22:02
infobotn900-full-reset is, like, when the user presses the PWRON (power-on) button for 8 seconds and removes the battery in the next 8 seconds, the TPS65950 enters NO SUPPLY state instead of BACKUP state, even if a valid backup battery is present. In such a situation, the backup domain registers are also reset, along with the VRRTC domain registers.22:02
Estel_sure22:02
eyescreamkerio: I've wondered that, too. My answer was more trustworthy than anything else.22:02
Gear_http://www.firenock.com/main.php?page=iBowSight22:03
Estel_personally, I suspect the following:22:03
Gear_can you emulate iphone software?22:03
Estel_quite a heat is required to attach usb shield to shieldplane22:03
kerioeyescream: packages are still signed with the same gpg keys22:03
Estel_considering how tiny connections inside multi-layer PCB are...22:03
kerioso even the weird repos are a lot more trustworthy than, say, packages from nokia's repos22:04
Estel_there is huge chance of burning out pcb isolating some two of them22:04
Estel_while soldering shield to groundplane22:04
Gear_use flux and solder carefully22:04
Estel_resulting in some connection, where it shouldn't be present22:04
Gear_lots of people have done it22:04
Estel_DocScrutinizer05,  any comment on that from someone familliar with N900 PCB point of view?22:05
Estel_is it plausible explanation?22:05
Gear_I haven't yet because it requires taking the hell apart of the phone22:05
Gear_and the usb port is fine22:05
Estel_I though it's just me, but I've talked with at least 6 people experiencing same issue after soldering down port. Personally, I soldered it on few devices, and two of them are affected by that, immediately after soldering22:06
Gear_my brothers one broke off and I'm gonna use his as a guineapig22:06
Gear_use an adjustable heat iron and flux and do it carefully22:06
freemangordonDocScrutinizer51: yep, got it now (epoxy)22:06
Estel_2nd one was soldered very carefully by me, yet, it still shows this behavior22:06
Gear_it only has to stick22:06
freemangordonEstel_: gas iron?22:07
Gear_not armour the whole thing up with solder22:07
Estel_well, pwr_button r&d flag is nice way to nullify it, but...22:07
eyescreamkerio: I see. Thanks. I might as well go ahead and try them out, then.22:07
Estel_freemangordon,  yes, but I made sure that heat from it doesn't affect other parts via air22:07
Gear_my gas iron is brutal, I wouldn't use it on any n90022:07
freemangordonEstel_: could it be electrostatic discharge? I know you are experienced, but...22:08
Estel_freemangordon,  hm, I always touch solid ground before soldering it, and gas iron, as said... don't think so22:08
Gear_you'd have to overheat it so badly, pcb isn't that heat condictive22:08
freemangordonEstel_: only touch? no grounded ring on your wrist?22:09
Estel_exact same copies of software on all devices, some get affected, some not - just after soldering, immediately, si I would say "hardware"22:09
DocScrutinizer05eyescream: skerion is22:09
Estel_freemangordon,  gas iron handle is insulative and tip grounded, so my wrist shouldn't matter22:09
freemangordonGear_: :nod:22:09
freemangordonEstel_: what?22:09
DocScrutinizer05wedrop.it and merlin too, i'd say22:09
freemangordonboth yoiu and the iron should be grounded afaik22:10
Gear_as soon as the solder flows let that side cool22:10
Estel_I mean that grip of my gas soldering iron is made of non-conductive material, and grounded to avoid static22:10
freemangordonaah, ok22:10
Gear_is it really necessary? my phone has been going since it was new22:10
Estel_freemangordon,  I can't ground "whole" iron or it would take heat to the ground, still, I would rather blame heat22:11
Gear_what would you ground it to anyway22:11
*** spoofy has quit IRC22:11
freemangordonEstel_: do you have an idea what material is pcb made from?22:11
Estel_frankly, it just looks like device"thinks" there is charger connected, on low lvl, but data pins are *not* short22:11
eyescreamDocScrutinizer05: Thanks. And thanks for the updates on the migration process. :)22:12
*** spoofy has joined #maemo22:12
Estel_no idea, but i would guess some epoxy-derrivative and glass fiber?22:12
Gear_epoxy is too gunky22:12
DocScrutinizer05yw22:12
freemangordonEstel_: i doubt it is glass/epoxy because of hi freq parts22:12
Estel_right22:13
Estel_so no idea, as said22:13
Estel_why asking? some idea?22:13
freemangordonso if it is tephlon (or whatever the english term is) i'd say it is overheated22:13
DocScrutinizer05(soldering) make sure you got no static or parasitic electricity on your solder tip22:13
Gear_can iphone software be ported?22:13
freemangordonGear_: what software?22:13
Gear_http://www.firenock.com/main.php?page=iBowSight22:13
freemangordonWTF?22:14
Gear_it uses the camera and "levels"22:14
Estel_I would say "heat", as usb port is (relatively) big, and to solder it's outer side to ground plane on device (under scrapped green mask) you need quite a heat, even if you do it with small ammount of solder22:15
Gear_accelerometers22:15
freemangordonGear_: if you get the source, I guess it could be ported22:15
Gear_it's a relatively useful piece of software for bow22:16
Estel_i suspect that "something" is very fragile, be it a path inside pcb or whatnot. Maybe ikt's not direct contact, even22:16
Gear_shooting22:16
Estel_it seems to affect device only at boot time22:16
bef0rdbut that hardware is designed for iPhone form factor22:16
Estel_no higher power usage during runtime (by a slightest bit), no other ill effects22:16
Gear_what?22:16
Estel_usb working fine for both hostmode and client22:16
bef0rdhttp://www.firenock.com/images/iBowSight/iPhoneBParts.jpg <- Gear_22:16
freemangordonbef0rd: he'll use duct tape :D22:16
Gear_oh you mean the chassis22:17
Gear_it could be altered22:17
bef0rdduct tape should work22:17
bef0rd:P22:17
Gear_dremel22:17
freemangordonit works everytime :D22:17
Estel_just that during boot, in enters act_dead, and shutdowns, due to lack of charger22:17
Estel_(boots ok with charger connected)22:17

Gear_how many did this happen to?22:18
freemangordon30%?22:18
Estel_r&d flag pwr_button "fixes" it and no further ill effects observed, for more than a year of usage22:18
Estel_yea, would say 30%, but it's quite random22:18
Estel_funny enough, people who doesn't care for grounding rings on wrist or even touching anything grounded before starting, doesn't seem to be afffected :P22:19
Estel_so i would say luck22:19
freemangordonhehe22:19
Gear_I see no reason to really do that mod until the ground thing actually breaks off22:19
Estel_it's too late then22:19
freemangordonGear_: it will be late then22:19
freemangordonit takes copper with it22:19
Gear_it'll still work, it's just soldered on anyway22:19
freemangordon*the copper22:20
Gear_and you're soldering the sides22:20
Estel_data and power pads gets damaged, and even if they look all clean (rarely they do), and you're able to fix it, there is high chance it will stop working again22:20
Gear_that's all connected to the same ground isn't it?22:20
freemangordonGear_: it is not only ground on USB22:20
Gear_eh?22:20
Estel_soldering 4 pins of microusb is pita enough, and if copper pads get broken too, it's impossible unless one use under_battery pads22:21
freemangordonif the connector falls of, it takes data planes off too22:21
Estel_even then, it's pita to fix22:21
kerioi thought the under-battery pads were for rapuyama's usb22:21
Gear_my brothers one didn't take the data pins off22:21
Estel_for what?22:21
Gear_just the little shield fell out22:21
Estel_gear, wf? :P22:22
Estel_wtf*22:22
Gear_my brothers n900 the little ground shield fell out and it still worked with some wiggling22:22
Estel_can't parse, we're talking about microUSB port on N900, it can't break partially ;)22:23
Estel_it just goes off22:23
Estel_freemangordon,  once, I had fun idea22:23
Gear_it's just the ground metal thing22:23
Estel_checking pcb schematics22:23
Gear_so that iphone software, could it be ported do you think?22:23
Estel_to ensure that no path cross pcb just at sides of port22:24
freemangordonGear_: already answered, gimme the source code and i guess i'll port it22:24
Estel_drilling it with 0.5 mm drill22:24
Gear_I don't have the source code22:24
freemangordonwhat to "port" then22:24
Gear_I dunno. can it be reverse engineered?22:24
Estel_then, putting microusb port with legs soldered on the other said, through holes22:24
Estel_sure, get tools and reverse engineer it, alongside windows, and few other minor software bits22:25
freemangordonGear_: if you find me HexRays for ARM, I promise i'll RE it for you. Or will write a replacement22:25
Estel_writing replacement seems less work :P22:25
freemangordonyes22:25
freemangordonthough I don;t have a bow here, might need to get one :D22:26
Estel_Gear_,  start a kickstarted project22:26

Estel_there is plenty of it measuring angles22:26

freemangordonthough I don;t think we have access to PCB22:27
freemangordonbef0rd: I know22:27
Estel_freemangordon,  it does, and it would be rock solid thereafter, like mikniusb ports or regular ones, but that unidentified "heat" damage scarred me off22:27
Gear_heat it slower22:27
