eddybaaaha00:02
eddybso after removed the 0 byte after each char in that weird part of the DSP code, I got things like this00:02
eddybrEor:r00:02
eddybcan you guess what is wrong with this picture?00:03

kerioendianness?00:03
eddybexcept... why would endianness affect strings?00:03
Flyserit affects the order of bytes in words00:04
eddybeach pair of chars are swapped00:04
eddybFlyser: who would load two chars in one word?00:04
FlyserUTF16?00:04
eddybno00:04
kerioembedded be wack, yo00:04
eddybthat's one char in one half-word00:05
*** lool has quit IRC00:05
eddyband it doesn't matter if it's little or big endian, as long as it's latin-100:05
eddybyou just remove the extra zeroes in between00:05
Flysersounds a lot like utf16 to me00:05
eddybyeah00:06
eddybbut UTF16 doesn't swap every two chars00:06
eddybthat's the weird thing here00:06
*** Raimu-X is now known as Raimu00:06
Flyseryeah .. endianess00:07
eddybdude00:07
eddybeven if you load two chars at once, when you put them anywhere else, they will still be out of order00:07
eddybone char is two bytes. four byte endianness is meaningless to the string00:08
*** SpeedEvil has quit IRC00:08
FlyserI think you mix things up a but. Just because one char is two bytes, it does not mean it is not affected by endianess00:09

eddybsixwheeledbeast: great, thanks! :D00:10
eddybsixwheeledbeast: it's alive again :)00:10
eddybFlyser: as long as you don't explicitly swap the order of the bytes/half-words yourself, they will remain that way00:11
sixwheeledbeastgd gd, did you have issues with the screws?00:11
*** SpeedEvil has joined #maemo00:12
eddybsixwheeledbeast: once my uncle came around I found a good screwdriver that worked even for the screws that didn't look too good00:12
sixwheeledbeastdid you source new screws?00:12
eddybnope00:12
sixwheeledbeastok, I haven't managed to remove my damaged screw the stud is still poking out.00:13
eddybthing is...00:13
eddybI lost one screw00:13
eddybit was the worse looking one00:14
sixwheeledbeastIt's in there solid I doubt I can get it out.00:14
eddybbut it felt pretty tight even with 5 screws00:14
sixwheeledbeastone screw missing will be ok, 5 left00:14
RiDwouldn't be that good if it was the opposite00:15
*** pvanhoof has joined #maemo00:16
sixwheeledbeasteh, 1 out of 6 screws? wouldn't happen. need a minimum of 2 screws or the slider would fail00:16

TimmyI want to use mplayer on easy debian but there is no audio. how can i fix it? i can remember somewhere there was a guy about making changes in /etc/asound.conf but i actually don't remember what that was09:50
*** valerius has quit IRC09:52
DocScrutinizer05Timmy: well, the main problem is: maemo is using pulseaudio with Nokia proprietary policies (see alsaped which is oddly named since it's actually PAped aiui), PA in turn occupies the underlying ALSA soundcard exclusively. And any app using ALSA:default as audio output is in fact only using a alsa->PA compatibility plugin and thus still goes thru PA with its policies09:58
TimmyDocScrutinizer05: so you have any idea how i can fix mplayer on easy debian to play audio?10:01
DocScrutinizer05changes in /etc/asound.conf *might* enable normal ALSA sound for apps like mplayer, but the downside most certainly is that it will likely fubar all PA based sound10:01
*** cityLights has joined #maemo10:06
DocScrutinizer05http://www.xmarks.com/site/library.maemodocs.nokia.com/fremantle/  seems to suggest we lost huge parts of documentation forever10:08

*** thauta has joined #maemo10:28
*** utanapischti has quit IRC10:29
*** thauta has left #maemo10:29
*** utanapischti has joined #maemo10:29
DocScrutinizer05that redefines alsa:default as direct access to hw audiocard with no plugin stack at all in between. Which means a) you get no mixing, b) no reate/formate conversions c) it either will fail since PA has opened that audiocard exclusively, or you need to kill PA and thus break audio for whole rest of device which uses PA for all audio10:30
DocScrutinizer05also this advice is about easydebian which is a chroot and thus has unclear but for sure no standard audio config at all10:32
TimmyDocScrutinizer05: you think it is possible to upgrade the mplayer of maemo to the latest version available?10:33
DocScrutinizer05sure, why not10:33
TimmyDocScrutinizer05: that is because this version doen't display the rtl subtitles correctly10:33
DocScrutinizer05it's however questionable if it will work OOTB and without massive patching for all plugins10:34
DocScrutinizer05mplayer afaik is using an alternative decoder set to what mafw/gstreamer is using, and that alternative decoders need to take into account the particular hw and drivers found in maemo10:36

DocScrutinizer05http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Architecture/Multimedia_Domain   http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Using_Multimedia_Components/Media_Application_Framework_(MAFW)10:37
TimmyDocScrutinizer05: i don't know what's wrong with mplayer on easy debian, in the past when i entered those configurations into asound.conf, both of vlc and mplayer were working well. but after flashing the device, only vlc plays the audio10:38
DocScrutinizer05particularly in diagrams in first page I linked above, see PulseAudio block and how it exposes ALSA (compatibility leagcy plugin) API upward to userspace but otoh uses ALSA device drivers in kernel (see downwards from PA block)10:41
DocScrutinizer05Timmy: *where* are you changing that /etc/alsa.conf? In easybeb chroot or on host system maemo?10:42
*** futpib has joined #maemo10:42
DocScrutinizer05Also notice that even the "hint" you linked to says you need to kill PA10:43
Timmyon easy deb and that was not alsa.conf, that was asound.conf10:43
DocScrutinizer05which sure as hell is hot will kill audio for every normal app on maemo10:43
*** Vlad_on_the_road has joined #maemo10:44
keriosending audio through the real alsa will fuck up your speakers10:44
Timmyand also this debian image is not a new one, this is what i have configured and used before10:44

freemangordonPali: BTW it seems noone is responsible for fixing CSSU repo, too11:26
DocScrutinizer05that's merlin1991:maintainer_of_repo11:27
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: last thing I know is that repo is roken, so he can't upload11:27
freemangordonbroken even11:27
DocScrutinizer05so?11:28
DocScrutinizer05who's going to fix it?11:28
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: exactly :)11:28
DocScrutinizer05maintainer, no?11:28
freemangordonno, as I assume maintainer has no root access11:28
DocScrutinizer05so what?11:29
freemangordonso he can't fix it11:29
DocScrutinizer05you got a sysop for that, to request for stuff getting done that needs root access11:29
freemangordonok, so I neeed to pester merlin1991, got it :)11:29
keriofreemangordon: i assume he's got write access to the repos11:29
*** pvanhoof has joined #maemo11:30
freemangordonkerio: afaik there is some problem with permissions.11:30
DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: see? you got it instantly. Others seem not willing to get it11:31
DocScrutinizer05that's why I resigned11:31
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: then keep talking with me only :P11:31
*** Smily has joined #maemo11:31
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: i guess I should check on wiki for maintainers, no?11:32
DocScrutinizer05I mustn't hand out root perms to everybody on maemo.org. We got a sysop for that who also takes responsibility for keeping the system integrity11:33
freemangordonsure11:33
DocScrutinizer05some maintainers don't accept that fact11:33
freemangordonmy point is - in order to find that sysop, i have to check on wiki, ain;t?11:34
DocScrutinizer05sysop is warfare11:34
freemangordonaah, ok11:34
DocScrutinizer05but you shouldn't pester sysop about maintainer stuff. For example warfare has no idea about repos or autobuilder, basically11:35
*** SmilyOrg has quit IRC11:35
freemangordongot it11:35
*** pvanhoof has quit IRC11:35
freemangordonI am just trying to figure out who is who11:35
DocScrutinizer05it needs a request from maintainer who should know what needs to get done, and sysop will do it for them11:35
freemangordon:nod:11:35
kerioDocScrutinizer05: so it should be "i need `$command` to be run as root on $machine for $reason"?11:35
freemangordonkerio: maybe not that formal11:35
DocScrutinizer05yes, exactly11:36
kerioit's hard to be unformal when you have to expand variables11:36
DocScrutinizer05jacekowski and woody bitched at me about "do you honestly suggest I shall put up such a request for everything I need to get done, and then wayit 30min or even an hour for it to get processed?" then ragequit11:38
keriowell, if they have such an amount of requests maybe they do need more permissions11:38
keriobut not *all* permissions!11:38
DocScrutinizer05kerio: I thouhgt same, and tried to use a policy based on cooperation and common sense. This didn't fly11:39
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: I don;t know what that conversation was, but I could imagine. Having a formal request for every nit is a nightmare and contraproductive, I agree11:39
freemangordonbut I guess a temp rights elevation is always possible if needed11:40
*** _rd has joined #maemo11:42
DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: no, it's not. It just requires more discipline and higher competence form maintainers. Like: instead of requesting "please add +x to /local/bin/xyz" maintainer needs to ask for "please add my account to group+we of /local/bin"11:42
*** Timmy has joined #maemo11:42
Macerkerio: lol11:42
DocScrutinizer05(no it's not been about nightmare)11:43

Macer"i need `$command` to be run as root on $machine for $reason"?11:43
DocScrutinizer05Macer: what?11:44
Macerjut thought that was a bit funny :)11:44
DocScrutinizer05Macer: you obviously never worked in a corporate environment11:44
Macerok?11:44
Macerit wasn't what he said. it was how he worded it.11:45
DocScrutinizer05usually you don't even have admin permissions of your very own local PC there11:45
freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: and I guess FOSS community is a differnt beast11:45
kerionatural languages would be better with variable substitution11:45
Macerkerio: that it would ;)11:46
DocScrutinizer05now in a corporate environment you have very few problems with accountability. For a FOSS projecr there basically is no accountability11:46
Macerkerio: lead with "for" heh11:46
DocScrutinizer05so the less you can allow everybody to have root permissions on everything11:47
*** jben1 has quit IRC11:47
MacerDocScrutinizer05: is there a reason so many would require root to begin with?11:47
Maceri figure most things would be able to be grouped11:47
DocScrutinizer05I thought you could when you educate those who got those permissions about what they may and what they MUST NOT do with them. But that been an epic fail and I'm responsible for that failure11:48
Macerheh. oh nooooo. you're playing with fire giving more than a handful of people that sort of control over the system heh11:48
Macerespecially if one were to go rougue on you11:48
DocScrutinizer05heh it been ~4 people heh11:49
DocScrutinizer05and they had no "control over the system"11:49
Maceralmost makes you wish you could make like 5 clones of yourself huh?11:49
DocScrutinizer05they had just locally elevated permissions11:49
kerioMacer: he already did, notice the name11:50
Palikerio, do you know if there is in maemo extras some package which enabling sudo for user user?11:50
Macerlol11:50
kerioPali: there's sudser, but it works awfully11:50
Paliwhat it doing?11:50
keriosetting up a password and adding passwordful or passwordless sudo11:50
Maceri miss lcuk :-/ used to be comedy hour every time he was here11:50
DocScrutinizer05Pali: edit /etc/sudoers.d/*11:50
PaliDocScrutinizer05, I done it 2 years ago :D11:51

Paliwe talked about it more times11:53
DocScrutinizer05yes, and you always refused to deliver any sound rationale why it needs any fixing11:53
keriosudo gainroot works as intended11:54
DocScrutinizer05and particularly how that fixing could be done in a non-intrusive non-breaking-compatibility way11:54
kerioif rd mode is enabled, give a root shell11:54
Palibut if you have rootsh installed without rd mode it enable it too11:55
kerioah yeah, rootsh is horrendous11:55
DocScrutinizer05no, it doesn't11:55
*** pvanhoof has quit IRC11:55
DocScrutinizer05err, sorry, missed the rootsh part11:56
*** arcean has joined #maemo11:56
DocScrutinizer05whatever rootsh does, you CAN NOT fix it since it already exists11:56
kerioah indeed11:56
PaliI will look into packages which using rootsh11:56
DocScrutinizer05SO WHAT?11:56
Paliand fix using stupid rootsh calls11:57
DocScrutinizer05you can't fix a privilege escalation done in XY0.1 by publishing XY0.211:57
Palithen we can add password for user and root11:57
*** jpinx has quit IRC11:57
DocScrutinizer05unless you forbid downgrading like in HARM11:57
kerio>implying local privilege escalation is even remotely (sic!) fixable in fremantle11:58
PaliDocScrutinizer05, look why package XYZ need calling gainroot, fix to use directly sudo and add sudoers.d config file11:58
DocScrutinizer05sure, sane thing11:58
Palithen it is possible to ask password before enabling root shell (via gainroot or other script)11:59
DocScrutinizer05will not make rootsh-v${current} vanish11:59
DocScrutinizer05you can publish a new package "sane-rootsh" that conflicts with rootsh even12:00
DocScrutinizer05but messing around with original rootsh pkg won't help anything12:00
DocScrutinizer05even if you did, there are still a dozen other fsckdup pkgs like sudser and easyroot or whatsthename that do even worse shit than rootsh pkg does12:02
*** croppa has quit IRC12:05
DocScrutinizer05so honestly, I thin best approach is to create a new project/package "secure sane sudo (formerly know as rootsh)" and make it conflict in dependencies with rootsh and and all other known-borked root access packages12:12
DocScrutinizer05think*12:12
DocScrutinizer05users are free to install it, and see what it gives them12:13
DocScrutinizer05they will find all the broken apps that depend on rootsh getting removed as conflicting dependencies.12:13
DocScrutinizer05unless those apps have been updated to not depend on rootsh anymore12:14
DocScrutinizer05clean easy-to-ggrok straight approach12:14
DocScrutinizer05I'd be willing to support it any way me/council/techstaff can (and may) do12:15

infobotfrom memory, rescue-os is http://206.253.166.96/N900/rescueOS/12:40
DocScrutinizer05honestly rescueOS is a poor choice for any OS to get actually installed on eMMC or uSD to boot it per uBoot from there. It's simply not meant to get used this way12:42
*** florian has quit IRC12:42

DocScrutinizer05ideal choice was a auxiliary maemo installed to a separate partition, with support to mount the main OS partitions to /original-maemo/*12:44

amospallait is not something I'm usually using, it's ok dealing with cable when I have to use that12:45
*** rcg has quit IRC12:45
kerioDocScrutinizer05: that's not ideal at all, having to load h-d and all the other crap when you just need a terminal to run a command consumes time12:45
amospallabootmenu did the job sometimes, but it is not the same12:45
DocScrutinizer05kerio: well, on maemo.cloud-7.de and ShadowJK's server it is as official as it gets12:45
NIN101and yes, rescueOS is not meant to be preinstalled somewhere, only booted when needed.12:45
amospallawith bootmenu I have some kind of rescue shell, but have to do it through cable network and ssh, because using the device itself does not work correctly12:46
amospallaand I doubt it does charge12:46

sixwheeledbeastyep, hopefully alopex will rule the browser space soon...13:12
DocScrutinizer05Pali: since, to detect charger, 170x needs to reconfigure the datalines, and that will brwak adat transmissions13:13
DocScrutinizer05break*13:13
DocScrutinizer05break data* even13:13
PaliDocScrutinizer05, I have patches for musb and that 1704 driver to (semi)-fix that in upstream13:14
Palibut there is bigger problem: in upstream host mode not working13:14
Palithere is code for force host mode, but it cause instant kernel panic13:14
DocScrutinizer05well, you could argue a botch liike N900 hostmode has no place in upstream anyway13:15
Paliso I rather fix charger detection which do not break peripheral usb mode for upstream kernel13:15
DocScrutinizer05for sure it's colliding with any sane USB code in upstream13:16
DocScrutinizer05hmm, good luck with that13:16
DocScrutinizer05it can't get done13:16
PaliDocScrutinizer05, our hostmode code in n900 kernel is adding code for choosing speed via testmode musb param (or how it is called)13:16
Paliaccess to that register is in upstream kernel via debugfs13:16
Palibut cat /sys/debug/.../that_file cause kernel panic on n90013:17
DocScrutinizer05*shrug*13:17
Palibut needed code for force host mode for n900 is in upstream13:17
DocScrutinizer05I'm honestly deprecating to try and upstream H-E-N hostmode kernel patches13:18
Paliapi is different, not using /proc, but code is here13:18
DocScrutinizer05it's absolutely nonsensical13:18
DocScrutinizer05and you *can not* fix the conflict between charger detection and data-transmission in kernel space, since 1707 has no idea if there is a data transmission happening resp a session established13:19
DocScrutinizer05so, to "fix2 that, you'd need to add metric tons of useless cruft to kernel drivers, to make assumptions about state of USB13:20
DocScrutinizer05I explained all that during hostmode development, and then again several times after that to KP devels13:22
*** udovdh has joined #maemo13:27
DocScrutinizer05paul fertser (coder of original final version of hostmode kernel) discussed that with me when we developed those patches. He's a die-hard FOSS and upstream and debian-only guy, and he agreed that N900 hostmode *must not* go to upstream, since it's a terrible botch that can't get done right and also it's useless in upstream since there never agin will be a similar hardware that could re-use that botch13:28
DocScrutinizer05so bringing it upstream is a PITA and a bloat at best, but most probably can't get done at all, in a compliant way13:29
DocScrutinizer05or let me put it this way: IF it would've been possible and reasonable to bring H-E-N kernel upstream, it would've been there since very beginning13:30

And the guy who been most die-hard radical upsteam/debian-only and almost refused to touch maemo at all _because_ it wasn't completely upstream compliant, this guy concluded that his own patches can't go upstream and there is not even any rationale why they should. We found13:48
DocScrutinizer05layering problems of all sorts, and there were other more general argumants as well that suggested hostmode botch MUST NOT go upstream and CAN NOT go upstream, since on one edge you always run into "doesn't work with standard kernels" or "doesn't make sense at all"13:48
DocScrutinizer05I'm honestly not going to discuss all this again with you, now that you think you can do better than we did 3 or 4 years ago13:48

sixwheeledbeast"the quad-band phone, also known as a world phone, supporting all four major GSM bands, allowing for global use" except non-gsm like japan19:08
ShadowJKIn europe UMTS and GSM/edge are both on 900MHz, though obviously the operators themselves have allocated part of their 900MHz holding for 3g and some for 2g19:08
ShadowJK1800 remains 2g only, but may be opened up to have both 2g and lte19:09
ShadowJKand 2100 is umts/lte shared, I think19:09
Macersixwheeledbeast: so that means regardless of carrier it should support GSM 3G?19:10
Maceror does it just mean you can talk on it but 3G or faster maybe not?19:10
ShadowJKthat device has no 3g.19:11
sixwheeledbeastMacer: depends on the country19:13
ShadowJKNo, I'm pretty sure as the device doesn't have 3g/umts radio, 3g will not work anywhere, regardless of country :)19:13
MacerShadowJK: but the same goes for actual phones which do have the 3G modems19:14
Macerthe listing for quad bands is usually the same with the oddball 1700MHz being here and there19:14
sixwheeledbeastsorry no not that device as ShadowJK i mean 3G devices19:14
sixwheeledbeast1700 is japan AFAIK19:15
MacerUnlocked quad-band GSM cell phone compatible with 850/900/1800/1900 frequencies and US/International 3G compatibility via 850/900/1700/1900/2100 UMTS/HSDPA plus GPRS/EDGE capabilities19:16
Maceri'm pretty sure tmobile us uses 1700 for hspa+19:16

sixwheeledbeastquad band will normally be 850/900/1800/1900 to cover most of the world.19:17

MacerBand II (W-CDMA 1900) in North America and South America (ITU Region 2).19:18
MacerBand IV (W-CDMA 1700 or Advanced Wireless Services) in the United States (T-Mobile USA), Canada (WIND Mobile, Mobilicity, Vidéotron) and Chile (VTR Movil, Nextel Chile)19:18
* Macer points at 1700 and t-mobile usa19:19
Maceri believe tmob calls that the AWS band19:19

Macermy point being that the n900 doesn't support the 1900MHz freq?19:26
*** tg has joined #maemo19:26
Macerhttp://www.nokia.com/gb-en/products/phone/n900/specifications/19:27
Maceryet in its listed freq bands.... it has it listed.. it just doesn't support it for data :)19:27
Maceram i the only one not grasping how overly complicated these bands are ? heh19:28
Macerand... marina harisson is kind of cute19:29
sixwheeledbeastN900 = quad band for GSM and three band for UMTS. No 1900 for data, from what I gather.19:30
ShadowJKWell data on gsm on 190019:34
sixwheeledbeastyes, sorry 3G data.19:35
ShadowJKAnd of course, support for 2g on 1900 is useless for talking to a 3g tower on 1900 :)19:38

DocScrutinizer05there's no specific "data" capability for any band19:49
DocScrutinizer05either the modem can use a band, or it can't. If the data transferred is GSM-codecvoice data or http:// browser data is relatively irrelevant for the modem19:50
DocScrutinizer05and yes, the problem with N900 in USA been that it doesn't support 3G/UMTS on a band that's originally meant to be 2G/GSM19:51

bennypr0fanewhat is the quickest/easiest way to copy-paste a long filepath in Maemo?20:24
sixwheeledbeastcopy and paste in what? Terminal?20:25
bennypr0faneyes, into terminal20:26
bennypr0fanee.g. I have a .deb that I want to dpkg20:26
bennypr0faneand its path+filename are really long20:27
*** Guest50382 has quit IRC20:27
bennypr0fanehow would you copy-paste that path into terminal?20:27
*** Guest50382 has joined #maemo20:27
sixwheeledbeastcopy it onto the clipboard then paste using the top menu in XTerm20:27
bennypr0fane for instance, in uBuntu you can copy the file in file manager, and then if you paste in terminal, the filepath is pasted20:28
bennypr0fanesame procedure here?20:28
bennypr0faneI tried that before, didn't work20:28
bennypr0fanenothing happened20:29
sixwheeledbeasttext or whole file?20:29
bennypr0fanedo you copy it from Maemo stock file manger, or another one?20:29
bennypr0fanewhole file20:29
bennypr0faneI mean if you copy just the file name, you still have to type the path first20:30
bennypr0faneand a different issue, apt-get -f install suggests to remove kernel-power-flasher, I wonder if I should do that? won't this touch the kernel itself?20:31
sixwheeledbeastI use hamsterfiler to copy full locations, if that's what you mean.20:32
*** torindel has quit IRC20:34
bennypr0faneok. how exactly in hamsterfiler? in Maemo stock fm, if you try to copy sth., you immediately have to specify where to copy it to. If you don't, I think it's not kept on the clipboard20:34
bennypr0faneI'd have to install Hamsterfiler. need to resolve this apt-get issue though bfore I can install anything20:35

db9jthere are some bugs with the n900 when it uses sip23:11
*** jpinx has quit IRC23:12
sixwheeledbeastwell hard to tell, better on pastebin. but theres no stop command23:12
db9jI have found some workarounds and this one stops the chirpyness of calls when you use sip23:12
sixwheeledbeastalso "on hildon-desktop" is better rcs maybe a bit early for running python stuffs23:13
db9jnormally I use pastbin but there was only a few lines23:13
db9jhow would you run this then? all this bit does is to hold the cpu frequency to 600 while a sip call is open23:14
db9jso it can run near the end after most of the other stuff has loaded23:15
sixwheeledbeastusing kernel-power?23:15
db9jyes23:15
sixwheeledbeastwhy not lock 600000 in a profile and load that?23:15
db9jwell that would mean it would be running at 600 all the time23:16
db9jthis just runs the cpu at 600 while a sip call is being made23:16
db9jthen it reverts23:16
db9jit stops the cpu from moving up and down in frequency while a call is taking place23:17
