eddyb | aaaha | 00:02 |
---|---|---|
eddyb | so after removed the 0 byte after each char in that weird part of the DSP code, I got things like this | 00:02 |
eddyb | rEor:r | 00:02 |
eddyb | can you guess what is wrong with this picture? | 00:03 |
*** shanttu has quit IRC | 00:03 | |
kerio | endianness? | 00:03 |
eddyb | except... why would endianness affect strings? | 00:03 |
Flyser | it affects the order of bytes in words | 00:04 |
eddyb | each pair of chars are swapped | 00:04 |
eddyb | Flyser: who would load two chars in one word? | 00:04 |
Flyser | UTF16? | 00:04 |
eddyb | no | 00:04 |
kerio | embedded be wack, yo | 00:04 |
eddyb | that's one char in one half-word | 00:05 |
*** lool has quit IRC | 00:05 | |
eddyb | and it doesn't matter if it's little or big endian, as long as it's latin-1 | 00:05 |
eddyb | you just remove the extra zeroes in between | 00:05 |
Flyser | sounds a lot like utf16 to me | 00:05 |
eddyb | yeah | 00:06 |
eddyb | but UTF16 doesn't swap every two chars | 00:06 |
eddyb | that's the weird thing here | 00:06 |
*** Raimu-X is now known as Raimu | 00:06 | |
Flyser | yeah .. endianess | 00:07 |
eddyb | dude | 00:07 |
eddyb | even if you load two chars at once, when you put them anywhere else, they will still be out of order | 00:07 |
eddyb | one char is two bytes. four byte endianness is meaningless to the string | 00:08 |
*** SpeedEvil has quit IRC | 00:08 | |
Flyser | I think you mix things up a but. Just because one char is two bytes, it does not mean it is not affected by endianess | 00:09 |

eddyb | sixwheeledbeast: great, thanks! :D | 00:10 |
eddyb | sixwheeledbeast: it's alive again :) | 00:10 |
eddyb | Flyser: as long as you don't explicitly swap the order of the bytes/half-words yourself, they will remain that way | 00:11 |
sixwheeledbeast | gd gd, did you have issues with the screws? | 00:11 |
*** SpeedEvil has joined #maemo | 00:12 | |
eddyb | sixwheeledbeast: once my uncle came around I found a good screwdriver that worked even for the screws that didn't look too good | 00:12 |
sixwheeledbeast | did you source new screws? | 00:12 |
eddyb | nope | 00:12 |
sixwheeledbeast | ok, I haven't managed to remove my damaged screw the stud is still poking out. | 00:13 |
eddyb | thing is... | 00:13 |
eddyb | I lost one screw | 00:13 |
eddyb | it was the worse looking one | 00:14 |
sixwheeledbeast | It's in there solid I doubt I can get it out. | 00:14 |
eddyb | but it felt pretty tight even with 5 screws | 00:14 |
sixwheeledbeast | one screw missing will be ok, 5 left | 00:14 |
RiD | wouldn't be that good if it was the opposite | 00:15 |
*** pvanhoof has joined #maemo | 00:16 | |

Timmy | I 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 was | 09:50 |
*** valerius has quit IRC | 09:52 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | Timmy: 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 policies | 09:58 |
Timmy | DocScrutinizer05: so you have any idea how i can fix mplayer on easy debian to play audio? | 10:01 |
DocScrutinizer05 | changes 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 sound | 10:01 |
*** cityLights has joined #maemo | 10:06 | |

DocScrutinizer05 | that 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 audio | 10:30 |
DocScrutinizer05 | also this advice is about easydebian which is a chroot and thus has unclear but for sure no standard audio config at all | 10:32 |
Timmy | DocScrutinizer05: you think it is possible to upgrade the mplayer of maemo to the latest version available? | 10:33 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sure, why not | 10:33 |
Timmy | DocScrutinizer05: that is because this version doen't display the rtl subtitles correctly | 10:33 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it's however questionable if it will work OOTB and without massive patching for all plugins | 10:34 |
DocScrutinizer05 | mplayer 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 maemo | 10:36 |

Timmy | DocScrutinizer05: 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 audio | 10:38 |
DocScrutinizer05 | particularly 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 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Timmy: *where* are you changing that /etc/alsa.conf? In easybeb chroot or on host system maemo? | 10:42 |
*** futpib has joined #maemo | 10:42 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | Also notice that even the "hint" you linked to says you need to kill PA | 10:43 |
Timmy | on easy deb and that was not alsa.conf, that was asound.conf | 10:43 |
DocScrutinizer05 | which sure as hell is hot will kill audio for every normal app on maemo | 10:43 |
*** Vlad_on_the_road has joined #maemo | 10:44 | |

DocScrutinizer05 | jacekowski 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 ragequit | 11:38 |
kerio | well, if they have such an amount of requests maybe they do need more permissions | 11:38 |
kerio | but not *all* permissions! | 11:38 |
DocScrutinizer05 | kerio: I thouhgt same, and tried to use a policy based on cooperation and common sense. This didn't fly | 11:39 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: 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 agree | 11:39 |
freemangordon | but I guess a temp rights elevation is always possible if needed | 11:40 |
*** _rd has joined #maemo | 11:42 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | freemangordon: 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 #maemo | 11:42 | |

DocScrutinizer05 | (no it's not been about nightmare) | 11:43 |

*** pvanhoof has joined #maemo | 11:43 | |
Macer | "i need `$command` to be run as root on $machine for $reason"? | 11:43 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Macer: what? | 11:44 |
Macer | jut thought that was a bit funny :) | 11:44 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Macer: you obviously never worked in a corporate environment | 11:44 |
Macer | ok? | 11:44 |
Macer | it wasn't what he said. it was how he worded it. | 11:45 |
DocScrutinizer05 | usually you don't even have admin permissions of your very own local PC there | 11:45 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: and I guess FOSS community is a differnt beast | 11:45 |
kerio | natural languages would be better with variable substitution | 11:45 |
Macer | kerio: that it would ;) | 11:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | now in a corporate environment you have very few problems with accountability. For a FOSS projecr there basically is no accountability | 11:46 |
Macer | kerio: lead with "for" heh | 11:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so the less you can allow everybody to have root permissions on everything | 11:47 |
*** jben1 has quit IRC | 11:47 | |
Macer | DocScrutinizer05: is there a reason so many would require root to begin with? | 11:47 |
Macer | i figure most things would be able to be grouped | 11:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I 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 failure | 11:48 |
Macer | heh. oh nooooo. you're playing with fire giving more than a handful of people that sort of control over the system heh | 11:48 |
Macer | especially if one were to go rougue on you | 11:48 |
DocScrutinizer05 | heh it been ~4 people heh | 11:49 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and they had no "control over the system" | 11:49 |
Macer | almost makes you wish you could make like 5 clones of yourself huh? | 11:49 |
DocScrutinizer05 | they had just locally elevated permissions | 11:49 |
kerio | Macer: he already did, notice the name | 11:50 |
Pali | kerio, do you know if there is in maemo extras some package which enabling sudo for user user? | 11:50 |
Macer | lol | 11:50 |
kerio | Pali: there's sudser, but it works awfully | 11:50 |
Pali | what it doing? | 11:50 |
kerio | setting up a password and adding passwordful or passwordless sudo | 11:50 |
Macer | i miss lcuk :-/ used to be comedy hour every time he was here | 11:50 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Pali: edit /etc/sudoers.d/* | 11:50 |
Pali | DocScrutinizer05, I done it 2 years ago :D | 11:51 |
DocScrutinizer05 | add your own plicy, run update-sudoers | 11:51 |
Pali | but I'm asking if there is package which doing it | 11:51 |
*** dhbiker has quit IRC | 11:51 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | there are several, one worse than the other | 11:51 |
Pali | now trying to fix sudo/root problem in maemo | 11:51 |
kerio | iirc sudser left my sudoers in an inconsistent state | 11:51 |
kerio | which broke... everything, really | 11:51 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sudser is BS | 11:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | afaik | 11:52 |
kerio | Pali: ssh root@localhost | 11:52 |
Pali | kerio, that working too | 11:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Pali: sudo/root problem? which problem? | 11:52 |
Pali | DocScrutinizer05, sudo gainroot | 11:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | nobody ever reported about a problem | 11:52 |
Pali | we talked about it more times | 11:53 |
DocScrutinizer05 | yes, and you always refused to deliver any sound rationale why it needs any fixing | 11:53 |
kerio | sudo gainroot works as intended | 11:54 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and particularly how that fixing could be done in a non-intrusive non-breaking-compatibility way | 11:54 |
kerio | if rd mode is enabled, give a root shell | 11:54 |
Pali | but if you have rootsh installed without rd mode it enable it too | 11:55 |
kerio | ah yeah, rootsh is horrendous | 11:55 |
DocScrutinizer05 | no, it doesn't | 11:55 |
*** pvanhoof has quit IRC | 11:55 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | err, sorry, missed the rootsh part | 11:56 |
*** arcean has joined #maemo | 11:56 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | whatever rootsh does, you CAN NOT fix it since it already exists | 11:56 |
kerio | ah indeed | 11:56 |
Pali | I will look into packages which using rootsh | 11:56 |
DocScrutinizer05 | SO WHAT? | 11:56 |
Pali | and fix using stupid rootsh calls | 11:57 |
DocScrutinizer05 | you can't fix a privilege escalation done in XY0.1 by publishing XY0.2 | 11:57 |
Pali | then we can add password for user and root | 11:57 |
*** jpinx has quit IRC | 11:57 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | unless you forbid downgrading like in HARM | 11:57 |
kerio | >implying local privilege escalation is even remotely (sic!) fixable in fremantle | 11:58 |
Pali | DocScrutinizer05, look why package XYZ need calling gainroot, fix to use directly sudo and add sudoers.d config file | 11:58 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sure, sane thing | 11:58 |
Pali | then it is possible to ask password before enabling root shell (via gainroot or other script) | 11:59 |
DocScrutinizer05 | will not make rootsh-v${current} vanish | 11:59 |
DocScrutinizer05 | you can publish a new package "sane-rootsh" that conflicts with rootsh even | 12:00 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but messing around with original rootsh pkg won't help anything | 12:00 |
DocScrutinizer05 | even 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 does | 12:02 |
*** croppa has quit IRC | 12:05 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | so 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 packages | 12:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | think* | 12:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | users are free to install it, and see what it gives them | 12:13 |
DocScrutinizer05 | they will find all the broken apps that depend on rootsh getting removed as conflicting dependencies. | 12:13 |
DocScrutinizer05 | unless those apps have been updated to not depend on rootsh anymore | 12:14 |
DocScrutinizer05 | clean easy-to-ggrok straight approach | 12:14 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I'd be willing to support it any way me/council/techstaff can (and may) do | 12:15 |
*** _rd has quit IRC | 12:15 | |

DocScrutinizer05 | any* | 12:16 |
_rd | Is there a good way to track which fremantle packages see updates in extras? | 12:20 |
DocScrutinizer05 | define "see" | 12:20 |
_rd | Well...on my n900 I just see updates on cssu, modrana, and navit. Navit I do myself. | 12:22 |
_rd | I am wondering, if there are any ohter interesting areas work goes in, which I simply do not see...because I have not installed the apps. | 12:23 |
_rd | Something like a log of uploaded packages would be nice | 12:23 |
_rd | I could download Packages files and diff them every few days, but there might be a more direct way | 12:24 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so you're asking for a list of maemo(-devel?) packages with mtime newer err... 1 week? | 12:25 |
*** Timmy has left #maemo | 12:26 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | _rd: you don't need to download them every few days. Since HAM is doing that for you, only when there are changes, usually once a day, per default | 12:26 |
*** dhbiker has joined #maemo | 12:26 | |
*** flo_lap has quit IRC | 12:27 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | so all you'd need to do is safe away old packages.gz and if there appears a new version on your device. you do a diff to old version you saved and then save new version to the backup location | 12:28 |
DocScrutinizer05 | s/safe/save/ | 12:28 |
infobot | DocScrutinizer05 meant: so all you'd need to do is save away old packages.gz and if there appears a new version on your device. you do a diff to old version you saved and then save new version to the backup location | 12:28 |
_rd | yes, but HAM only tells me on updated packages which changed. | 12:28 |
_rd | sorry.... | 12:28 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so what? | 12:28 |
_rd | HAM only tells me on installed packages which updated | 12:29 |
DocScrutinizer05 | did I say you should ask HAM about new packages, or did I suggest to do a diff? | 12:29 |
_rd | I would like to see a list of all updates, also for packages which I have not (yet?) installed. | 12:29 |
_rd | ....aah. | 12:30 |
kerio | _rd: http://maemo.org/packages/repository/latest/fremantle_extras-devel_free_armel/all/ | 12:30 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so all you'd need to do is save away old packages.gz and if there appears a new version on your device. you do a diff to old version you saved and then save new version to the backup location | 12:30 |
_rd | you say I could use the Package file, which is already on the n900. | 12:30 |
_rd | understood. | 12:30 |
_rd | If I do that from a PC, downloading directly might be more convenient. | 12:30 |
DocScrutinizer05 | yeah | 12:30 |
DocScrutinizer05 | obviously | 12:30 |
_rd | kerio: many thanks, that is what I was looking for. | 12:31 |
_rd | ....actually it is much better :-) | 12:31 |
DocScrutinizer05 | doesn't have packages that are not in "user" probably | 12:32 |
DocScrutinizer05 | also seems to not show any date when those "latest" actually got updated | 12:33 |
amospalla | do you know of any doc or text to guide the installation of rescueos ? | 12:34 |
kerio | amospalla: short answer: don't do it | 12:34 |
kerio | it's unsupported, and not meant to work | 12:34 |
kerio | NIN101: have you considered putting something that can charge from a usb host instead of the wallcharger? | 12:35 |
amospalla | kerio: oh, it was on rescueos url, am I supposed to use flasher everytime I use it, so it's not meant to be copied in any way into n900 | 12:36 |
kerio | that's the gist of it, yes | 12:36 |
kerio | uboot *can* boot it on-device, and it works fine | 12:37 |
*** florian has joined #maemo | 12:37 | |
*** florian has joined #maemo | 12:37 | |
kerio | but configuring uboot isn't that easy | 12:37 |
Pali | somebody who has time should write wiki page about uboot bootmenu :-) | 12:37 |
amospalla | kerio: that's why I was asking, about installation on the device itself, but I prefer not to deal with boot, I do not want to break anything | 12:40 |
amospalla | thanks | 12:40 |
amospalla | it's ok if I can boot it with cable | 12:40 |
amospalla | in fact, it is a great idea make it that way | 12:40 |
kerio | ~rescueOS | 12:40 |
infobot | from memory, rescue-os is http://206.253.166.96/N900/rescueOS/ | 12:40 |
DocScrutinizer05 | honestly 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 way | 12:42 |
*** florian has quit IRC | 12:42 | |
* kerio found it damn useful more than once | 12:42 | |
kerio | yes, they were all situations where i was literally sitting at a computer | 12:42 |
DocScrutinizer05 | there are quite a number of better choices | 12:42 |
kerio | like most of the time in my life | 12:42 |
kerio | but plugging in a cable and typing a command is still more hassle than selecting a menu entry :) | 12:43 |
*** jpinx has joined #maemo | 12:43 | |
NIN101 | kerio: yeah, considered, not done yet... | 12:44 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ideal choice was a auxiliary maemo installed to a separate partition, with support to mount the main OS partitions to /original-maemo/* | 12:44 |
kerio | DocScrutinizer05: are there "official" charge scripts? | 12:45 |
amospalla | it is not something I'm usually using, it's ok dealing with cable when I have to use that | 12:45 |
*** rcg has quit IRC | 12:45 | |
kerio | DocScrutinizer05: 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 time | 12:45 |
amospalla | bootmenu did the job sometimes, but it is not the same | 12:45 |
DocScrutinizer05 | kerio: well, on maemo.cloud-7.de and ShadowJK's server it is as official as it gets | 12:45 |
NIN101 | and yes, rescueOS is not meant to be preinstalled somewhere, only booted when needed. | 12:45 |
amospalla | with 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 correctly | 12:46 |
amospalla | and I doubt it does charge | 12:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | http://maemo.cloud-7.de/maemo5/patches_n_tools/charge21_500mA-USBlimit__UNTESTED.sh should not conflict with server USBhost charging | 12:48 |
DocScrutinizer05 | for the limit to 500 | 12:48 |
kerio | NIN101: you could also try the bq2415x-charger and bq27x00-battery modules | 12:49 |
kerio | for automagical everything | 12:49 |
Pali | DocScrutinizer05, correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt max current for usb2.0 only 100mA until enumeration is done? | 12:49 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Pali: per spec yes | 12:49 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but those PCs that enforce that also fail to power any fan or mugwarmer or kbd-light | 12:50 |
NIN101 | yeah I pondered about including the "UNTESTED" 500ma script, but I can't risk to test anything of this kind as I have only one N900 and I am not very experienced at this topic in general. | 12:50 |
DocScrutinizer05 | well, maybe kbd-light doesn't need >100 | 12:50 |
kerio | 1) make initrd with kernel-power modules | 12:51 |
DocScrutinizer05 | NIN101: it's kinda tested meanwhile. And for sure it's not dangerous in any kind | 12:51 |
kerio | 2) modprobe bq2415x-charger | 12:51 |
DocScrutinizer05 | kerio: bwahahaha | 12:51 |
kerio | it can't be too hard to port the bq24k module to 2.6.37 | 12:52 |
*** _rd has quit IRC | 12:54 | |
*** _rd has joined #maemo | 12:54 | |
kerio | Pali: what happens to the bq24k module if there's no usb gadget module to do the detection? | 12:54 |
kerio | does it do nothing at all? or does it draw the 100mA? | 12:54 |
_rd | which browsers do you use on the n900? Built-in microb? | 12:54 |
DocScrutinizer05 | kerio: wtf would anybody want to do that, for rescueOS? | 12:55 |
Pali | kerio, it will be in none/off state | 12:55 |

DocScrutinizer05 | Pali: those direct calls will fuckup hostmode and most likely even USB at large | 13:12 |
sixwheeledbeast | yep, hopefully alopex will rule the browser space soon... | 13:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Pali: since, to detect charger, 170x needs to reconfigure the datalines, and that will brwak adat transmissions | 13:13 |
DocScrutinizer05 | break* | 13:13 |
DocScrutinizer05 | break data* even | 13:13 |
Pali | DocScrutinizer05, I have patches for musb and that 1704 driver to (semi)-fix that in upstream | 13:14 |
Pali | but there is bigger problem: in upstream host mode not working | 13:14 |
Pali | there is code for force host mode, but it cause instant kernel panic | 13:14 |
DocScrutinizer05 | well, you could argue a botch liike N900 hostmode has no place in upstream anyway | 13:15 |
Pali | so I rather fix charger detection which do not break peripheral usb mode for upstream kernel | 13:15 |
DocScrutinizer05 | for sure it's colliding with any sane USB code in upstream | 13:16 |
DocScrutinizer05 | hmm, good luck with that | 13:16 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it can't get done | 13:16 |
Pali | DocScrutinizer05, our hostmode code in n900 kernel is adding code for choosing speed via testmode musb param (or how it is called) | 13:16 |
Pali | access to that register is in upstream kernel via debugfs | 13:16 |
Pali | but cat /sys/debug/.../that_file cause kernel panic on n900 | 13:17 |
DocScrutinizer05 | *shrug* | 13:17 |
Pali | but needed code for force host mode for n900 is in upstream | 13:17 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I'm honestly deprecating to try and upstream H-E-N hostmode kernel patches | 13:18 |
Pali | api is different, not using /proc, but code is here | 13:18 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it's absolutely nonsensical | 13:18 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and 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 established | 13:19 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so, to "fix2 that, you'd need to add metric tons of useless cruft to kernel drivers, to make assumptions about state of USB | 13:20 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I explained all that during hostmode development, and then again several times after that to KP devels | 13:22 |
*** udovdh has joined #maemo | 13:27 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | paul 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 botch | 13:28 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so bringing it upstream is a PITA and a bloat at best, but most probably can't get done at all, in a compliant way | 13:29 |
DocScrutinizer05 | or 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 beginning | 13:30 |
*** mvp has quit IRC | 13:31 | |
amospalla | huh, after 4 months without upgrade, apt-get upgrade wants to upgrade 47 packages (some are hildon*, pulseaudio*), is this expected? | 13:31 |

DocScrutinizer05 | amospalla: maybe not | 13:32 |
amospalla | I'm using cssu thumb | 13:32 |
amospalla | so, until there does not appear a new cssu update, I should not touch that | 13:32 |
DocScrutinizer05 | guys are messing with repo atm, we seen some hashsum errors sneaking in again, and most likely it's best to _not_ update for a while | 13:32 |
amospalla | ok, understood, thanks DocScrutinizer05 | 13:33 |
DocScrutinizer05 | meh, cssu-thumb, that's again a completely different story | 13:33 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ask freemangordon | 13:33 |
Pali | DocScrutinizer05, charger detection is called when charger is connected, isp driver enabling musb after detection is complete | 13:35 |
DocScrutinizer05 | yes, but then again you get layering violations that you can't upstream | 13:36 |
Pali | this is already in upstream | 13:36 |
DocScrutinizer05 | yeah, and it's not working, according to what you said | 13:36 |
Pali | not working is other part | 13:37 |
Pali | because musb driver started using omap mailbox api instead some old | 13:37 |
Pali | which still using isp driver | 13:37 |
Pali | but musb or isp can be upgraded to use new "notify" api | 13:37 |
Pali | I created patch which add optional hotplug/removable file_storeage gadget to g_nokia.ko | 13:39 |

DocScrutinizer05 | Pali: I honestly don't feel like going thru all that again. I explained we discussed *all* that during _several_ weeks when developing H-E-N hostmode kernel patches. 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 found | 13:48 |
DocScrutinizer05 | layering 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 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I'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 ago | 13:48 |
Pali | DocScrutinizer05, upstreaming our host mode patches from 2.6.28 kernel are not needed | 13:49 |
Pali | I think that all needed code is already in upstream kernel | 13:49 |
DocScrutinizer05 | think what you like | 13:50 |

Pali | DocScrutinizer05, nice to hear :-) | 15:45 |
Pali | DocScrutinizer05, here is 3.8 kernel with n900 patches: https://gitorious.org/linux-n900/linux-n900 | 15:46 |

sixwheeledbeast | Macer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM_frequency_bands | 19:04 |
Macer | i looked at that | 19:04 |
Macer | and it makes 0 sense as well ;) | 19:04 |
Macer | freqs are listed twice | 19:04 |
sixwheeledbeast | what do you mean? | 19:05 |
Macer | like take 1900MHz.. according toe wikipedia it is an edge freq OR a UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ freq | 19:05 |
Macer | so does that depend on the device? | 19:05 |
Macer | plus doesn't it use 1700 for uplink and 1900 for downlink? | 19:05 |
Macer | that is where i get confused | 19:05 |
Macer | http://www.amazon.com/G13-Black-Quad-band-Watch-UNLOCKED/dp/B0064U47HC/ref=pd_sim_cps_2 | 19:06 |
Macer | i was looking at that thing | 19:06 |
Macer | looks kind of neat | 19:06 |
Macer | Unlocked, quad-band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz | 19:07 |
Macer | and what uses that 1800MHz freq? is that japan or something? | 19:07 |
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 japan | 19:08 |
ShadowJK | In 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 2g | 19:08 |
ShadowJK | 1800 remains 2g only, but may be opened up to have both 2g and lte | 19:09 |
ShadowJK | and 2100 is umts/lte shared, I think | 19:09 |
Macer | sixwheeledbeast: so that means regardless of carrier it should support GSM 3G? | 19:10 |
Macer | or does it just mean you can talk on it but 3G or faster maybe not? | 19:10 |
ShadowJK | that device has no 3g. | 19:11 |
sixwheeledbeast | Macer: depends on the country | 19:13 |
ShadowJK | No, I'm pretty sure as the device doesn't have 3g/umts radio, 3g will not work anywhere, regardless of country :) | 19:13 |
Macer | ShadowJK: but the same goes for actual phones which do have the 3G modems | 19:14 |
Macer | the listing for quad bands is usually the same with the oddball 1700MHz being here and there | 19:14 |
sixwheeledbeast | sorry no not that device as ShadowJK i mean 3G devices | 19:14 |
sixwheeledbeast | 1700 is japan AFAIK | 19:15 |
Macer | Unlocked 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 capabilities | 19:16 |
Macer | i'm pretty sure tmobile us uses 1700 for hspa+ | 19:16 |
Macer | that's an e7 | 19:16 |

*** Vlad_on_the_road has joined #maemo | 19:18 | |
Macer | Band II (W-CDMA 1900) in North America and South America (ITU Region 2). | 19:18 |
Macer | Band 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 usa | 19:19 | |

Macer | am i the only one not grasping how overly complicated these bands are ? heh | 19:28 |
Macer | and... marina harisson is kind of cute | 19:29 |
sixwheeledbeast | N900 = quad band for GSM and three band for UMTS. No 1900 for data, from what I gather. | 19:30 |
ShadowJK | Well data on gsm on 1900 | 19:34 |
sixwheeledbeast | yes, sorry 3G data. | 19:35 |
ShadowJK | And of course, support for 2g on 1900 is useless for talking to a 3g tower on 1900 :) | 19:38 |

DocScrutinizer05 | there's no specific "data" capability for any band | 19:49 |
DocScrutinizer05 | either 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 modem | 19:50 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and 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/GSM | 19:51 |

bennypr0fane | yes, into terminal | 20:26 |
bennypr0fane | e.g. I have a .deb that I want to dpkg | 20:26 |
bennypr0fane | and its path+filename are really long | 20:27 |
*** Guest50382 has quit IRC | 20:27 | |
bennypr0fane | how would you copy-paste that path into terminal? | 20:27 |
*** Guest50382 has joined #maemo | 20:27 | |
sixwheeledbeast | copy it onto the clipboard then paste using the top menu in XTerm | 20:27 |
bennypr0fane | for instance, in uBuntu you can copy the file in file manager, and then if you paste in terminal, the filepath is pasted | 20:28 |
bennypr0fane | same procedure here? | 20:28 |
bennypr0fane | I tried that before, didn't work | 20:28 |
bennypr0fane | nothing happened | 20:29 |
sixwheeledbeast | text or whole file? | 20:29 |
bennypr0fane | do you copy it from Maemo stock file manger, or another one? | 20:29 |
bennypr0fane | whole file | 20:29 |
bennypr0fane | I mean if you copy just the file name, you still have to type the path first | 20:30 |
bennypr0fane | and 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 |
sixwheeledbeast | I use hamsterfiler to copy full locations, if that's what you mean. | 20:32 |
*** torindel has quit IRC | 20:34 | |
bennypr0fane | ok. 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 clipboard | 20:34 |
bennypr0fane | I'd have to install Hamsterfiler. need to resolve this apt-get issue though bfore I can install anything | 20:35 |

*** jpinx has quit IRC | 23:12 | |
sixwheeledbeast | well hard to tell, better on pastebin. but theres no stop command | 23:12 |
db9j | I have found some workarounds and this one stops the chirpyness of calls when you use sip | 23:12 |
sixwheeledbeast | also "on hildon-desktop" is better rcs maybe a bit early for running python stuffs | 23:13 |
db9j | normally I use pastbin but there was only a few lines | 23:13 |
db9j | how would you run this then? all this bit does is to hold the cpu frequency to 600 while a sip call is open | 23:14 |
db9j | so it can run near the end after most of the other stuff has loaded | 23:15 |
sixwheeledbeast | using kernel-power? | 23:15 |
db9j | yes | 23:15 |
sixwheeledbeast | why not lock 600000 in a profile and load that? | 23:15 |
db9j | well that would mean it would be running at 600 all the time | 23:16 |
db9j | this just runs the cpu at 600 while a sip call is being made | 23:16 |
db9j | then it reverts | 23:16 |

DocScrutinizer05 | meh, isn't it amazing? always dreaming about the big red button, and when you caary it in your pocket, it doesn't feel attractive anymore | 23:41 |
DocScrutinizer05 | anyway seems ML are working again, and no matter how pissed I feel about manager if tech, I'll make sure similar regressions are limited to the inevitable | 23:43 |
RiD | what are you talking about | 23:43 |

*** Guest50382 has quit IRC | 23:57 | |
GI_Jack | the infamous "All communications are disabled", i.e. the GSM modem and GPS taking a crap | 23:57 |
RiD | i fear for the day mine starts doing that | 23:58 |
RiD | it scared me once already. Turns out it was dust. | 23:58 |
GI_Jack | so I after 2 years of the thing sitting on my desk, I found the thread with the fix, disassmbled it, cleaned the dust out, took off the metal shielding on the GSM modem, put the springs in it as described and bing, works like new | 23:58 |
RiD | that was over a year | 23:58 |
GI_Jack | the actual body itself was pretty worn out, so I have a new one comming I found on ebay | 23:59 |
RiD | how does your keyboard look? | 23:59 |
GI_Jack | keyboard is terrible | 23:59 |
RiD | mine too :( | 23:59 |
RiD | the led doesn't make it any better | 23:59 |
GI_Jack | you can find them for $4 a piece on ebay | 23:59 |
GI_Jack | and they are easy to replace | 23:59 |
RiD | yes, but aren't most of these fake? | 23:59 |
GI_Jack | I hope not | 23:59 |
