DocScrutinizer05please elaborate with proper irc protocol on what happened. When I once set up the throttling, I used arbitrary made up values. Those might well need some tuning00:03

DocScrutinizer05the Brain Fuck Scheduler01:50
DocScrutinizer05not recommended01:51
DocScrutinizer05on fremantle the scheduler never been the bottleneck, so why mess with it?01:52
Win7MacThere is something strange about the Community-links in right menu on tmo. Mouse-over and resulting page not as ecpected it seems.01:52
raid__DocScrutinizer05: thanks. so i guess i'll stick with kernelpower then01:52
DocScrutinizer05sorry, I have classic light theme, no links on right side01:53
*** nox- has joined #maemo01:53
raid__i remember my emmc getting corrupted when i used kernelpower before01:54
*** CaCO3 has quit IRC01:54
raid__not sure if it was the kernel, or using 'Mass Storage Mode' on a partially charged battery01:55
raid__probably the ladder01:55

DocScrutinizer05raid__: KP shouldn't affect emmc02:02
Win7Macok, who do I have to contact tor such things?02:02
DocScrutinizer05chem|st, maintainer of tmo02:02
Win7Macchem|st: ^^^^02:03
raid__i've been trying to secure access to root, so i tried sudser and it gives me an error: "sudoers file: syntax error, line 25" "/etc/sudoers.d/everybody.sudoers changes break sudoers"02:04
raid__it gives me that when installing kernel-power02:04
raid__i think it's originating in dpkg02:04
DocScrutinizer05sudser is bad02:04
raid__i used to use rootsh, but it doesn't ask for a password to gain root02:05
kerio+102:05
keriojust make your file in sudoers.d02:05
DocScrutinizer05sudser doesn't either02:05
DocScrutinizer05see02:05
DocScrutinizer05~jrtools02:05
infobotjrtools is probably http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Joerg_rw/tools02:05
*** darodi has joined #maemo02:05
DocScrutinizer05on how to enable password02:05
raid__i noticed...how do i secure root?02:05
raid__oh thanks02:05
DocScrutinizer05yw02:05
DocScrutinizer05NB it's still not safe02:06
kerioyour jrtools are also bad, they break `sudo gainroot` semantics02:06
DocScrutinizer05but a lot better than without02:06
kerionamely, the fact that it doesn't ask for a password, and it doesn't work outside of rdmode02:06
DocScrutinizer05eh?02:06
kerioin maemo fremantle, the above is true02:07
DocScrutinizer05sure when I make sudo gainroot ask for password, then it breaks the semantics of not asking for password! o.O02:07
DocScrutinizer05and the second half of your statement makes no sense at all02:07
keriogainroot checks for rdmode, and only gives you a root shell if it's enabled02:08
DocScrutinizer05orly?02:08
kerioyarly!02:08
DocScrutinizer05BS02:08
DocScrutinizer05gainroot also checks sudoers02:09
DocScrutinizer05that's why sudo gainroot02:09
keriono it doesn't02:09
keriogainroot is a script02:09
keriosudo checks sudoers02:09
DocScrutinizer05meh, I got no time for that pointless BS02:09
DocScrutinizer05let's discuss why you write your nick the wrong way02:10
kerio:o02:10
keriowhat's the right way?02:10
r00t^homeit looks like my second n900 broke... to me it seems like some heavy filesystem corruption... at first only modest kept crashing, apparantly beacuse it's database was corrupted... then random settings got reset, tracker was broken (media player said no files), the "three dots" bootscreen didn't appear (but it still booted), now it stopped booting completely...02:10
kerio"broke"02:11
kerioreflash it, and restore a backup02:11
r00t^homewell, the first one also stopped booting but i can't reflash it because usb is broken02:11
*** darodi has quit IRC02:11
*** Win7Mac has quit IRC02:11
r00t^homeand in this case, it could still be that the flash is physically broken... we'll see...02:11
raid__DocScrutinizer05: you have to install CSSU to secure root?02:11
keriodo you have a way to boot from usd?02:11
DocScrutinizer05raid__: no02:12
*** NeutrinoPower has quit IRC02:12
r00t^homefun stuff: i've been trying to get a working recovery boot recently (before it broke), but it seems that all installation instructions i found for that are outdated02:12
raid__DocScrutinizer05: oh...i have to flash my phone?02:13
*** niwakame|away has quit IRC02:13
DocScrutinizer05no02:13
DocScrutinizer05you install rootsh and follow that oneliner instruction on jrtools02:13
*** darodi has joined #maemo02:14
DocScrutinizer05# fix NOPASSWD for root / sudo gainroot02:14
DocScrutinizer05around half way down the page02:15
raid__DocScrutinizer05: we are talking about the same wiki right?  http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Joerg_rw/tools02:15
DocScrutinizer05sure02:15
*** norayr has quit IRC02:15
DocScrutinizer05you install rootsh, open a terminal, type02:15
DocScrutinizer05root02:15
DocScrutinizer05sed -e "s/Defaults env_reset/Defaults env_reset\nDefaults targetpw/;\02:16
DocScrutinizer05 s+user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/gainroot+user ALL =\02:16
DocScrutinizer05 PASSWD: /usr/sbin/gainroot+" \02:16
DocScrutinizer05 -i  /etc/sudoers.d/01sudo02:16
DocScrutinizer05that's it02:16
DocScrutinizer05you damn better set a root password before02:17
DocScrutinizer05with02:17
DocScrutinizer05passwd02:17
DocScrutinizer05# fix NOPASSWD for root / sudo gainroot02:18
DocScrutinizer05# this will allow your N900 to ask for ROOT password on "root"02:18
DocScrutinizer05# and "sudo gainroot" as it's supposed to be02:18
DocScrutinizer05...02:18
*** niwakame|away has joined #maemo02:18
DocScrutinizer05or you use nano or whatever editor you prefer, and add the one line02:20
DocScrutinizer05Defaults targetpw02:20
DocScrutinizer05manually, as well as the edit from02:20
DocScrutinizer05user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/gainroot02:20
DocScrutinizer05to02:20
DocScrutinizer05user ALL = PASSWD: /usr/sbin/gainroot02:20
DocScrutinizer05in /etc/sudoers.d/01sudo02:21
DocScrutinizer05if you don't add the >>Defaults targetpw<< line, then it will ask for *user's* password which makes no sense02:22

r00t^homeso i reflashed the rootfs and got the device to boot again...03:31
r00t^homeand after mounting home via usb-storage, fun like:03:32
r00t^home[12658.089730] EXT3-fs error (device sdb2): ext3_lookup: deleted inode referenced: 8208703:32
r00t^home[12658.097831] EXT3-fs error (device sdb2): ext3_lookup: deleted inode referenced: 8206303:32
r00t^homei did not see any fs errors in dmesg on the device... are they disabled or something?03:32
r00t^homefsck => many screens full of errors03:34
robbiethe1stthe homefs seems to get corrupted once in a while during crashes03:37
r00t^homewhat is the root password for http://robbiethe1st.afraid.org/BackupMenu/flashable_rootfs_v0.56-1-20101109.img ?03:39
robbiethe1stI'm pretty sure I never set it03:39
robbiethe1stso what ever comes default on the devic03:39
r00t^homethen what's the use of the serial/ssh console option...03:39
r00t^homeif you can't log in...03:40
raid__What happened to git? I used to have a procedure to install it on the n900, but that doesn't work anymore.03:44
r00t^homei'm copying emmc to usd via usb storage now... great efficiency there ;)03:45
r00t^homeraid__: the "procedure" being? "apt-get install git"?03:45
raid__no, i installed it from source03:46
raid__with special options03:46
raid__apt-get install git doesn't work right03:47
raid__but now it won't let me install libcurl3-dev03:50
r00t^home"won't let"?03:50
raid__that's what i said...03:50
raid__installing it was part of the procedure03:50
r00t^home"won't let" is a pretty useless statement in the context of software problems03:51
raid__it's a dependency issue03:51
raid__i'll have to track it down later03:51
r00t^homeunless the program's output literally is "i won't let you do that"03:51
raid__i have to be somewhere in 40 minutes03:52

r00t^homei was about to make a joke asking if that's a brand of vodka... but it really is...03:53
DocScrutinizer05hehe03:53
raid__arguably a lot of room03:54
DocScrutinizer05indeed it is the vodka I bought 3 days ago03:54
r00t^homebut it seems that 100 is not the percentage of alcohol content...03:54
DocScrutinizer05no, the proof, which is % * 203:54
raid__it's the percent of satisfaction guarantee03:54
DocScrutinizer05so 100 proof is 50%03:54
r00t^homei read a different definition of "proof" a while back, but whatever03:55
DocScrutinizer05yeah whatever, it has 50%03:55
raid__it was probably from a linux error message03:55

r00t^home"To ensure that the rum had not been watered down, it was "proved" by dousing gunpowder with it and then testing to see if the gunpowder would ignite. If it did not, then the rum contained too much water and was considered to be "under proof". Gunpowder would not burn in rum that contained less than approximately 57.15% ABV. Therefore, rum that contained this percentage of alcohol was defined to have "100° (one hundred degrees) proof".03:57

* DocScrutinizer05 fetches the final ultimate argument from freezer03:59
DocScrutinizer05probably 50% doesn't even freeze in *my* freezer04:00
r00t^homewouldn't the "ultimate argument" be pure ethanol?04:00
r00t^homei was about to ask about that04:00
DocScrutinizer05the usual 41% does04:00
DocScrutinizer05ouch, that's a cold bottle04:01
r00t^homei have a bottle of pure ethanol around... but i don't drink that stuff in any (measurable) concentration04:01
robbiethe1stWell, take that freezer, replace the gas with propane, whack off the temperature control and /freeze/ that sucker!04:01
DocScrutinizer05that's a propane fridge04:02
robbiethe1stI guess it is... but propane fridges usually burn propane to evaporate amonia, not use it for compression/expansion04:03
DocScrutinizer05we're not allowed to use flour chloride hydrocarbon anymore04:03

robbiethe1stwow04:10
robbiethe1stI looked at converting, but in order to do so I'd have had to drain my system, and then get new r134a etc. Like a $200 process. On the other hand, a $10 ebay hose and $.05 worth of commodity propane from a barbecue bottle...04:11
DocScrutinizer05yeah, ammonia fridges. cool shit04:11
robbiethe1stAmmonia fridges are cool, yes04:12

DocScrutinizer05Chlorofluorocarbon /CFC/04:31
DocScrutinizer05yeah04:31
r00t^homewell, that's without the hydrogen, so HCFCs would be closer04:32
robbiethe1stwait, 99... probably R134A.04:32
DocScrutinizer05yep04:32
robbiethe1stwhich you can get in the US, it's the 'favorite' refridgerant... probably because a big chemical company has patent control over it04:33
DocScrutinizer05again yep04:33
DocScrutinizer05while it's as nasty as any other hcfc04:33
robbiethe1stAs soon as that patent is about to expire, R134A will be found to be the most nasty thing on the planet and banned04:34
robbiethe1stJust like R12 was04:34
DocScrutinizer05:nod:04:34
* robbiethe1st is cynical, I guess04:34
DocScrutinizer05no, just the truth04:35
robbiethe1stIt's frigging sad and annoying04:35
robbiethe1stoh well04:35
DocScrutinizer05and unlike the old HCFCs I heard it's prducing HF (acid) when car burns04:35

DocScrutinizer05and*04:37
robbiethe1stInstead of propane/butane , which burns cleanly, has a narrow flammability range, and is an excellent coolant04:37
robbiethe1stbut is too cheap and isn't patentable04:37
DocScrutinizer05yep04:37

robbiethe1stThey've got these cool keyboards which have a angle slot so you can have it open like a laptop, or fold it shut clamshell style05:52

robbiethe1stat 1ghz, mine starts feeling way too hot if maxed out05:57
robbiethe1stI've run mine for over a year now at 125/900mhz, hasn't fried yet. This is my second device, though - first has USB fall out and I couldn't fix it05:58
GI_Jackand every CPU is diffrent because of flaws in the silicone, all we know is that they all passed QA at 600mhz05:58
GI_Jackothers in the batch passed higher, and we know the design is capable05:58
robbiethe1stthat one ran for over a ear OC'd at the same. voltages adjusted to make it stable on both05:58
GI_Jackbut we also know that a 600MHz CPU could have easily failed 800MHz, been clocked down, passed QA and shipped with a 600mhz label05:59
GI_Jackthis is routinely done industry05:59
robbiethe1stYes, but typically, it's failed 800mhz at some voltage05:59

vi__I am thinking of switching back to Symbian.  Please convince me otherwise.12:13
jogawhy?12:14
vi__Because as a phone, the n900 sucks a mile long dick.12:15
vi__I am so sick of missing phone calls.12:15
vi__Because the caller screen does not see fit to even appear.12:15
Luke-Jrof course. N900 isn't a phone.12:16
Luke-Jralthough I've never missed a call ringing on it unless I was out of range12:16
jogaI've had only minor problems using it as a phone, the most prominent one being hildon-home etc getting 'stuck' so that every time you unlock the screen it takes a good few seconds to stop hogging cpu and you can do something, killing it every now and then helps but it's irritating if it happens when a call comes in, the ringtone will play but there's nothing you can do until it's ready12:17
jogaand once it happened when I was expecting UPS to deliver a package, I couldn't answer the damn call (from unknown number, of course) so delivery was delayed by a week12:18
divVerentfor me the n900 works ok as phone12:24
divVerentonly reason I ever missed calls was vibration not strong enough12:24
*** flo_lap has joined #maemo12:26
vi__That is a good example.  On many occasions I have not even had a notification of an incoming call.  Just a yellow ballon telling me I missed a call.  FFS WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT.12:26
* jooles was of the opinion that whatever issues maemo has, Symbian 6 was worse :/12:28
vi__I never missed a telephone call on symbian.12:30
jogamaybe the caller ended the call before n900 had managed to start playing ringtone12:34
joga:)12:34
*** futpib has quit IRC12:35
*** sq-one has quit IRC12:35
jogabut anyway I think for telephone use an old and durable nokia works just great, personally I use the n900 as a mobile terminal and calls/sms constitute just a tiny percentage of my use so it has worked fine in that respect12:35
joolesBring back the 3310, eh? :)12:36
*** kolp has joined #maemo12:37
jogaI actually dumpster dived an E70 from work, I could get a new smartphone if I just asked but for work I need just reliable calls and stuff so it works great and also has a qwerty so in case n900 battery runs out or something I can use it for ssh in a pinch12:37
joga(after getting used to n900 keyboard the e70 feels a bit spongy and weird, also some symbols are more tedious to type)12:38
jogaheh, actually the bag I dived had about 35 or so phones of which 20+ worked after just replacing battery, there were also a few 3310s :)12:39
jogaall the old phones that hadn't been physically mangled worked, there were a few newer ones like e63 and some other slider-qwerty model and a similar one without the keyboard, they all turned on but didn't display anything on screen12:41
*** Martix has joined #maemo12:42
jogawas a shame because the e63 was in mint condition otherwise12:42
joolesnice12:42
joolesHave you tried re-flashing it?12:42
joganah, I suspect it's a problem with the display and haven't bothered to look, I don't really need the phone myself :)12:43
jogathere were also some working spare batteries so I emptied a few of the basic phones that were working and gave them to people who had use for one12:44
jogawould be nice to get it working though, it's a bit more attractive than the 10 year old ones12:44
joolesWhat are the insides like? Any obvious damage/activated water indicators?12:45

*** XDS2010 has joined #maemo13:07

joolesIt would be a little white square or circle.13:08
jogaunless it's under the info sticker, I can't find it13:08
jogano red visible anywhere though13:09
joolesEh, it may have been on the original battery. It's just always the first thing I check with a phone whose history I don't know13:17

DocScrutinizer05hmm, I never had problems with answering phonecalls on N900, except of accidentally hitting reject button once, when friggin rotation bounced back and forth13:45
Apic^.^13:46
divVerentDocScrutinizer05: oh, I do remember another phone call issue with the N90013:47
divVerentthe phone appo has weird rotation13:47
divVerentand sometimes the meaning of the volume buttons reverses when I am "holding it wrong"13:47
divVerentas it sometimes toggles orientation during the call, and this reverses the volume buttons13:47
DocScrutinizer05I get massive problems though with inbound SIP calls since I usually am (loccked) on 2G and that, while still establishing call, yields unbearable stutter and delay and dropouts13:48
vi__I have it locked to landscape.  It fails to even display the screen.13:48
jogaI put the phone back together, it just seems to start (backlights turn on, a single vibration occurs) then after waiting a while the backlight turns off briefly, then back on, I assume it's just booting but can't see anything13:48
vi__Do not even get me started on SIP.13:48
vi__For a SIP device, the n900 is a colossial piece of shit.13:48
ApicTrue.13:48
vi__SIP is nicely integrated but the audio is so choppy it is basically worthless.13:49
jogahmm, actually if I wait for longer it seems the backlight turns on every now and then so not sure if it finished booting properly..13:49
DocScrutinizer05meh, I always had dialer app locked to portrait13:49
DocScrutinizer05usually works just fine13:49
DocScrutinizer05SIP works excellent when I'm at home on my WLAN13:50
DocScrutinizer05you just have to wait 2s after establishing call, until audio streams properly set up13:50
vi__Then you are the ONLY reported case I have EVER read of SIP working.13:50
DocScrutinizer05hey, I even did SIP phonecalls with N810 from Taipei via my sipgate.de account (and RTP<->POTS gateway) to other german landline and mobile numbers. Worked great, as long as the intercontinental sea cables were not broken or congested (a frequently encountered problem in Taiwan)13:54
DocScrutinizer05I at times have 5 SIP clients logged in here to same account: N810, 2*N900, N950, N9 (and sometimes even twinklephone softphone on PC). And all of them just work, once I allocated a dedicated SIP port do each of them and pinholed that port the router's NAT13:58
*** valerius has joined #maemo14:01
*** futpib_ has joined #maemo14:02
DocScrutinizer05many router NATs have a ALG that's more often than not broken and not really working. You should check if your router has an option to disable SIP-ALG (sometimes attributed as VoIP support). draytek-Vigor for example (old ones) neeted telnet to do that: sth like "set system alg off"14:02
*** futpib has quit IRC14:02
DocScrutinizer05needed*14:03
DocScrutinizer05then make sure your SIP provider supports auto-STUN, or you force STUN to enabled and keepalive to REGISTER,6014:05
vi__I have auto stun on.  It is still choppy and completely un-useable.14:06
vi__Don't even get me started on how bad skype is.14:07
DocScrutinizer05host -t SRV _stun._udp.sipgate.de14:08
DocScrutinizer05if your SIP provider is lacking such SRV DNS record, auto-STUN will fail14:09
*** jooles_ has joined #maemo14:11
DocScrutinizer05if your router has symmetric NAT and doesn't allow local loopback (client in LAN talking to itself on the router's public IP) then STUNlib fails to detect the type of NAT14:12

DocScrutinizer05one thing you could try that also helps for RTP sometimes is to set your SIP client device as exposed host, sometimes also (incorrectly) called DMZ14:15
Macervi__: really? i don't have much of a problem with skype heh14:16
DocScrutinizer05means *every* inbound connection gets directly forwarded to the exposed device14:16
*** jooles_ has quit IRC14:16
DocScrutinizer05be aware that this does what name implies: it exposes your N900 to the internet, with all the pings and ssh bruteforce pw cracking and whatnot14:17
DocScrutinizer05so you better make sure you don't have too sloppy config of your services14:18

vi__Mrs vi__ tried to skype her mother with the n900.  The n900 was worthless.  You could barely hear the other person there was soo much choppiness.  So she switched to her android tablet.  Perfect call.14:22
Macerbut i can honestly say it hasn't let me down heh... seems to work well as far as i know14:22
Maceryeah14:22
Maceri'm sure beceause both the n900 and telepathy are old :)14:22
Macerthat's usually what happens on abandonware heh14:22
DocScrutinizer05vi__: I suspect your WLAN AP being POS14:22
MacerDocScrutinizer05: i don't. i had teh same problems skyping on my n900 and that was like 2 years ago14:23
vi__Really?  WNR3500L running dd-wrt.14:23
DocScrutinizer05either your local router and connection (WLAN) stuff sucks, or your IP does nasty stuf with QoS traffic shaping/priorization14:25
Macervi__: skype sells the mtx based phones which are similar to vonage phones.. which are usually work with older GE cordless phones14:25
Macerthose are the best ones to use if you're just using skype for voice calls14:25
MacerDocScrutinizer05: why can't it be that skype changed the method in which it initiates and xfers the data and maybe the telepathy plugin for the n900 is just ancient and undeveloped?14:26
DocScrutinizer05because others have no problems14:27
Macerplus if his wife used a tablet with a perfect call which most likely uses wifi...?14:27

DocScrutinizer05anyway, Jooles, I invited warfare to join here, despite his busy job, to have a look at dangling links and broken pages in tabletsdev first hand. If you could and want to help on that issue, please do right away. Warfare doesn't have the time to follow chat on #maemo that is "OT" from his perspective16:33

ShadowJKN810 GPU is kinda more or less "very hard" to bend into usable state for fremantle type opengl es16:35
JoolesHardware limitation or lack of good drivers?16:37
ShadowJKIt starts with the original issue that N810 SoC isn't capable of 800x480 output :)16:37

ShadowJKN800 came with the same SoC/cpu running at 333 MHz, but the kernel didn't become stable with overclock to 400 until after N810 came out16:41
