DocScrutinizer05localedef comes to mind01:43
DocScrutinizer05       If the second argument to setlocale(3) is empty string, "", for the default locale, it is determined using the following steps:01:45
DocScrutinizer05       1.     If there is a non-null environment variable LC_ALL, the value of LC_ALL is used.01:45
DocScrutinizer05       2.     If an environment variable with the same name as one of the categories above exists and is non-null, its value is used for that category.01:45
DocScrutinizer05       3.     If there is a non-null environment variable LANG, the value of LANG is used.01:45

DocScrutinizer05ENVIRONMENT01:47

XATRIXHi, i have VERY bad skype video quality... The picture of persion i call is terrible blocked13:43
XATRIXpixelized13:43
*** FIQ has joined #maemo13:43
XATRIXMy video almost hang on the other side13:44
XATRIXBut the tiny window on my screen shows good cam performance13:44
XATRIXWhat's wrong with it ?13:44
XATRIXI have quite good enough connection13:44
DrCodehi all13:44
DrCodeI can't mount ext413:44
DrCodehas loop13:45
DrCodeI got invalid option13:45
DrCodeany idea?13:45
XATRIXDocScrutinizer05: any ideas ?13:46
*** MetalGearSolid has quit IRC13:49
DocScrutinizer05XATRIX: you most probably have either generally flawed poor bandwidth connection to internet, or your carrier (or far end's carrier) do traffic shaping based on SPI, thus violating net neutrality (<-not sure if that's the correct english term)13:49
*** MetalGearSolid has joined #maemo13:49
XATRIXHm...13:50
XATRIXI call for my partner that is beside me13:50
XATRIXIn the same office13:50
DocScrutinizer05oh haha13:50
XATRIX:)13:50
DocScrutinizer05not that this usually makes any difference, since... it's internet13:50
DocScrutinizer05but given the way peer2peer networks like skype work, this particularl situation might introduce special obstacles13:51
DocScrutinizer05e.g when you both use same LAN with a router that does no local loopback13:52
XATRIX{v13:52
XATRIXHmm13:52
DocScrutinizer05thus for reaching your far end next to you, you need a relay somewhere outside your LAN13:52
*** lizardo has joined #maemo13:52
XATRIXCan i skype you?13:53
DocScrutinizer05while everybody else you could reach directly with no intermediate hops13:53
DocScrutinizer05no skype here13:53
XATRIX:(13:53
XATRIXAnyone can help me to test it ?13:53
japa-fixatrix make another skype account to your computer and call to that13:57
DrCodeWhy I can't mound ext4 loop .img? any idea please13:57
DocScrutinizer05japa-fi: that's not helping either13:57
DocScrutinizer05since that would still be all local13:58
*** SpeedEvil has joined #maemo13:58
XATRIXjapa-fi: yes, it doesn't matter, i need to make external call13:58
DocScrutinizer05XATRIX: you can use wireshark to analyze the VoIP traffic, I guess13:59

*** esaym153 has joined #maemo13:59
DocScrutinizer05dunno if wireshark has dissectors for skype13:59
*** merlin1991 has joined #maemo13:59
DocScrutinizer05for sure not for the netto traffic since it's encrypted afaik14:00
bef0rdwhy don't you call the skype test service?14:00
*** timeless has joined #maemo14:00
*** guerby has joined #maemo14:00
bef0rdIn your Contact list, select Skype Test Call. It may also be called Echo / Sound Test Service or Skype Test Call (echo123).14:00
DocScrutinizer05I was about to suggest that, but then thought it might not help for video14:00
bef0rdoh video14:00
DocScrutinizer05yeah, and "oh, skype"14:03
DocScrutinizer05skype is a nightmare14:03
DocScrutinizer05and beware! some corporate LANs may have a policy that earns you losing your employment when using skype on the company's LAN14:05
*** maybeHere has quit IRC14:05
*** croppa has quit IRC14:05
DocScrutinizer05skype is pretty hard to impossible to manage on a network admin level, since it acts unpredictably14:06
DocScrutinizer05so even when a network admin would try to block it, there are no reliable firewall rules to establish that14:06
DocScrutinizer05likewise assigning QoS priority to the skype traffic is basically impossible14:07
bef0rdsometimes skype video sucks without reason14:08
*** e-yes has quit IRC14:13
DocScrutinizer05btw I wonder what's up with the $internet*14:14
DocScrutinizer05many sites are down for maintenance, or simply don't work anymore14:14

DocScrutinizer05I dunno15:49

DrCodelosetup do I need to use -o ?15:50
DrCodeor just losetup dev/loop0 my.img?15:50
DocScrutinizer05>>15:53
DocScrutinizer05       This  type of mount knows about three options, namely loop, offset and encryption, that are really options to losetup(8).  (These options can be used in addition to15:53
DocScrutinizer05       those specific to the filesystem type.)15:53
DocScrutinizer05       If no explicit loop device is mentioned (but just an option ‘-o loop’ is given), then mount will try to find some unused loop device and use that.  If you  are  not15:53
DocScrutinizer05       so  unwise as to make /etc/mtab a symbolic link to /proc/mounts then any loop device allocated by mount will be freed by umount.  You can also free a loop device by15:53
DocScrutinizer05       hand, using ‘losetup -d’, see losetup(8).15:53
DocScrutinizer05<<15:53
DrCodeok15:54
DrCodethankyou15:54
DocScrutinizer05basically you first mount a image file to a *device* (the loop device) - then mount the loop device like a usual partition to a mountpoint15:55
jon_yooh offsets, interesting15:56
jon_yI can mount partitions in whole disk images15:56
DocScrutinizer05yes, you might need correct offset to mount an image file15:56
DocScrutinizer05you frequently need to deal with that stuff when loopmounting a xen diskimage15:57
jon_y63 sectors to first partition or something, I can't remember15:57
DocScrutinizer05to access the VM disk content without starting the VM15:57
jon_yneed dd to make sure15:58
kerioDocScrutinizer05: oh, to access a disk image with a mbr?15:58
kerioi always wondered how to do that, actually15:58
win7macguys, get out, enjoy the sun! ;)15:58
jon_ykerio: yes15:58
DocScrutinizer05offset might largely depend on your image file - was it a raw disk image incl all MBR and stuff? and was the disk partitioned?15:58

FIQhi18:28
FIQregarding that python issue18:28
FIQtoday, earlier when booting up the phone, I got the issue with slow mounts again18:29
FIQhowever, this time, after waiting a few minutes - nothing happened18:29
FIQJust to make sure it wasn't just delayed even further, I just played a game meanwhile18:29
FIQbut after 30 minutes, it had yet to mount18:29
FIQSo I ended up mounting it manually...18:29
FIQJust fyi18:30
FIQAnd I still don't know what the issue is caused by18:30
FIQAlso looked into /etc/fstab before mounting it manually18:30
FIQit wasn't even listed there18:30
FIQso when it was auto-generated, they were basically completely missing18:30
psycho_oreosI think this is an issue with dbus, just a hunch. I was recently experimenting on writing upstart scripts and for some reason my script didn't start even though I simply copied and pasted a working upstart script and renamed a few things here and there.18:31
FIQwell, my syslog did tell you when you looked into it that there was some potential issues with dbus18:32
FIQdon't know *what* issues, but yeah18:32
psycho_oreosdbus was lagging according to your old syslog output, it was waiting on something but I'm not too familiar with upstart and how it works.18:33
FIQneither am I :p18:33
FIQand I don't know if this is a common issue either18:33
FIQi.e. you have the same lagging issues, and that it's normal in N900 for it to do that18:34
FIQ(you and everyone else I mean)18:34
psycho_oreosMy syslog isn't working (again).. I don't think its normal for dbus to do that, it could be a missing upstart script or something that is causing dbus to be lagging.18:36
*** OkropNick has quit IRC18:38
psycho_oreosIn theory a properly functional upstart would allow one to be able to write a custom script that would simply show a banner to tell you that upstart has finished. In my case somewhere is broken and I can't understand what or where when even syslogd is failing to output the logs to the right place.18:40
psycho_oreosYou probably have a working syslogd, there might be measures available for you to take to try and take.18:41

psycho_oreosYeah that would be from /etc/event.d/rcS-late or wherever the file resides. Re: syslog issue, the issue seems to be way more complicated than that. When I ran sysklogd manually or even (re)starting it via /sbin/st{art,op} syslogd writes to the aforementioned files. Just not at boot, to make matters even worse, syslogd is started well beforehand and it doesn't seem to have issues from upstart. I20:14
psycho_oreosI'm turning debugging mode on and reading from the output, hoping to get some sense out of it.20:14

*** piggz has joined #maemo20:17

FIQDocScrutinizer05: but I've never had issues with mounting /home, and the device boots up (I'm very confident /home needs to be mounted before this) just as fast as it did when I first got the device, i.e. there's no notable slowdown20:25
*** sixwheeledbeast has joined #maemo20:25
FIQthe only slowdown I've had (and even fails) are with those python bindmounts20:25
DocScrutinizer05strange20:26
FIQand when I mounted them earlier manually, it was done instantly20:26
FIQi.e. no delay20:26
DocScrutinizer05gnutils mount?20:26
psycho_oreosUsually if there's issues with mounting, I thought syslogd would have logged that.20:27
FIQalso created a simple script file with those mounts running as a temporary work-around if the mounts refuses to be done in the future... but the optimal solution would be have it working completely20:27
psycho_oreosParticularly for /home for instance.20:27
FIQpsycho_oreos: well, the one I gave you (regardless of the private info) was one where python bindmounts was significantly slower than it should (but that time it didn't fail as this time)20:27

psycho_oreosFIQ, yeah, I do recall there was no issues with mounting from that log, At least not for non-binding mounts. I'm still trying to get my syslogd to work properly so that I can see if my device would also show slowdowns from dbus as well. I don't expect that would be a natural behaviour but like I said, my syslogd is refusing to work properly so its hard to say.20:29

psycho_oreoshmm, mine has the same version as FIQ (re: busybox-power) and I don't have that issue with python bind mounts. *shrugs* can't hurt to try out standard busybox either way.20:37

FIQi.e. making it not work at all20:37
DocScrutinizer05virtually any API change or call sequence change can invoke a hidden race condition20:37
FIQDocScrutinizer05: yeah, just said it couldn't be linked to a broken lib as that would make mount fail completely, no?20:38

FIQdon't know if this will solve my issue though, but oh well20:52
DocScrutinizer05basically it boilded down to: cssu did try update to busybox, that conflicted when user had busybox-power installed, and rendered user's system fubar20:52
psycho_oreosAccording to this: https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/ggit/browse.php/?p=busybox-power;a=blob;f=debian/busybox-power.prerm;h=a0d4ea18e79dea8733927588e208f30a1edd8554 original busybox should be in /bin/busybox.distrib, if that doesn't exist it will show an error.20:52
FIQpsycho_oreos: I have no such file -- allthough this is most likely due to me uninstalling busybox-power20:53
*** andre__ has quit IRC20:54
psycho_oreosFIQ, its supposedly to be part of prerm script. I'm guessing its what dpkg does during removal stages, actually before removing.20:54
FIQhmm20:54
psycho_oreosAnyway you have original busybox back, so the case is now irrelevant.20:55
FIQyeah20:55
FIQwell, cssu busyboc20:55
FIQ*busybox20:55
FIQI've so far encountered 2 issues since optfs restoration20:55
FIQLet's see if there will be any more20:55
DocScrutinizer05thinking about it, I could even figure how the fstab patch to cssu-t8 never been tested aganst standard busybox20:55
FIQseems like I'm running T8.220:57
DocScrutinizer05FIQ: I think all that bug hunting on your severely tainted system is not fruitful20:57
FIQso whatever the patch is, I have it20:57
*** Kabouik has joined #maemo20:57
DocScrutinizer05we easily could hunt this and another dozen bugs for the next 6 months20:58
FIQlol20:59
DocScrutinizer05never being able to reproduce it on a clean system that hasn't suffered massive damage from opt "restauration"20:59
FIQheh20:59
psycho_oreosYeah I've pointed out before that the setup you have now (FIQ) is very much a zombified setup.21:01
DocScrutinizer05usually the standard suggestion is: do a osso-backup, do a BM backup just in case, then reflash and restore from osso-backup21:01
DocScrutinizer05sure, in your case that's a decent chunk of work21:02
DocScrutinizer05since you also need to restore PK, CSSU-T and CSSU-thumb (aiui) manually21:03
*** SAiF__ has quit IRC21:07
* DocScrutinizer05 wonders if FIQ is still "alive"21:11
*** FredrIQ has joined #maemo21:12
FredrIQDocScrutinizer05: True21:12
DocScrutinizer05and, how feels booting with stock busybox?21:12
FredrIQWorth pointing out that this issue existed before already (the python one), I just didn't bother then -- not sure about the busybox issue21:12
FredrIQThough, you *are* right in that this restore probably introduces some issues21:13
*** FIQ has quit IRC21:13
*** FredrIQ is now known as FIQ21:13
FIQthat *might* be possible to solve, but would take very long21:13
FIQDocScrutinizer05: no issue this boot21:13
FIQallthough it was occasional after all21:13
DocScrutinizer05yeah, I'd love to see you do 2manual bootloop" ;-)21:14

DocScrutinizer05~status21:14
DocScrutinizer05:-S21:14
infobotDocScrutinizer05 meant: yeah, I'd love to see you do "manual bootloop" ;-)21:14

DocScrutinizer05ooh21:14
FIQas in hard shutdown, or shutting down the right way?21:14
DocScrutinizer05never do hard shutdown on purpose21:14
FIQDocScrutinizer05: regarding reflashing - how come you didn't ask that from the beginning though? :P21:15
FIQyes I thought so21:15
DocScrutinizer05except for very dedicated test case21:15
FIQjust asked, as you put quotes in manual bootloop lol21:15
DocScrutinizer05FIQ: you explicitly said you want to avoid reflashing21:16
FIQoh I did?21:16
DocScrutinizer05and you had a plan how to avoid it21:16
FIQahh21:16
FIQthis was back when I had a corrupted file system21:16
FIQWell then21:16
FIQI'll not reflash, unless further issues arise21:16
DocScrutinizer05that's a good plan21:16
FIQ(unless they're minor and I know the problem/solution right away)21:17
DocScrutinizer05after all we now have a decent chance to find out if BB-P introduced that mysterious python bindmount issue21:17
FIQmhm21:17
DocScrutinizer05we still wouldn't know if BB-P got damaged durng your fs corruption + restore21:18
*** nox- has joined #maemo21:18
DocScrutinizer05but at least we had a clue where to search, or not to search21:18
psycho_oreosThere is another alternative plan to forgo flashing (only temporary), you can use one of those osso scripts (can't remember which) to generate a list of user installed packages. Check and see for each of those packages are still publically available, if not repack the debs (and hope they won't contain broken symlinks, etc). Reflash and restore the list of installed packages that you had along with reconfiguring.21:19
FIQpsycho_oreos: I don't see how this is avoiding flashing though :P21:19
FIQjust making it less cumbersome21:19
psycho_oreosFIQ, its better than fixing up issues as you go along :p lol.21:20
DocScrutinizer05sounds like a terrible amount of work21:20
FIQpsycho_oreos: depends21:20
psycho_oreosEither way we've all seemed to learn something in this process.21:20
FIQUnless the issues are major - I'd rather fix them on the go as they're not really going to make things worse (I think..?)21:20
FIQDocScrutinizer05: another solution to avoid reflashing, *and* fix all the bugs is to simply do a combined BM restore21:21
FIQi.e. optfs and rootfs21:21
psycho_oreosThe issue you had with python in that very first instance was quite interesting. It slowly began to not get mounted and eventually stops mounting it properly.21:21
FIQpsycho_oreos: well as I said - I've had this issue for a long time, not really bothering with it21:22
psycho_oreosOnly if you had a current copy of optfs.21:22
FIQIt could have failed before, I don't know21:22
FIQas my solution was to simply reboot21:22
FIQpsycho_oreos: my optfs restore was from 7 months ago21:22
FIQ(not my ~, but the optfs)21:22
psycho_oreosFIQ, I thought you had a mismatched copy of rootfs vs optfs tarballs.21:22
FIQpsycho_oreos: yes, this is the case *now*21:23
FIQpsycho_oreos: I asked before the restore (when fsck messed up completely) if I was going to do optfs+rootfs or only optfs in here21:23
FIQeither you or doc suggested just optfs21:23
FIQpsycho_oreos: the *only* issue I have with a combined is that there might be kernel mismatches21:24
FIQas some (not all!) of my restores are from vanilla, and some for KP (though possibly an older version)21:24
psycho_oreosFIQ, doubt it would be me, I usually do complete restore. I recall you had pk with mismatched kernel version.21:24
FIQYes, I have several different kernel version restores21:24
FIQs/restores/backups/21:24
infobotFIQ meant: Yes, I have several different kernel version backups21:24
psycho_oreosFIQ, yeah hence optfs restoration was adequate enough to forgo bootloops.21:24
DocScrutinizer05you did a mkfs.ext3 on /home21:24
FIQDocScrutinizer05: yes, allthough this was undone by BM21:25
DocScrutinizer05you asked whether you need to reflash completely or could just fix /home21:25
FIQapparently BM actually reformats /home when it restores21:25
DocScrutinizer05no, it usually doesn't21:25
DocScrutinizer05afaik21:25
FIQwell during the restore process, it said "Formatting OptFS"21:25
FIQas the first step21:26
DocScrutinizer05OOOH!21:26
DocScrutinizer05that would mean it erradicates ~user/21:26
FIQit did restore /home/user as well yes21:26
FIQAllthough ~ was restored by me afterwards from the backup tar I did earlier21:26
FIQbefore I did fsck21:27
DocScrutinizer05well, then I have to open a (virtual) ticket against BM, for fixing the wording in menus21:27
FIQShould have tar-ed the whole file system eh...21:27
*** M4rtinK has joined #maemo21:27
FIQThen I wouldn't have a fs mismatch issue (allthough the MH issue would be there still)21:27
*** Vlad_on_the_road has joined #maemo21:28
FIQDocScrutinizer05: and, if so, my wording was a bit bad21:28
psycho_oreosMore like python issue, hence MH.21:28
FIQpsycho_oreos yeah21:28
FIQ.. because what I really asked was "restore rootfs+optfs or just optfs?"21:29
FIQ@21:29
FIQ@ (20:25:17) (DocScrutinizer05) you asked whether you need to reflash completely or could just fix /home21:29
FIQoh wait no21:29
FIQDocScrutinizer05: are you referring to before the fsck?21:29
FIQbecause then yeah my wording was that21:30
FIQDocScrutinizer05: what my point really was was that I would rather avoid reflash aka using flasher-3.521:30
FIQwhile I would rather avoid rootfs restore too, I see this as far less of an issue21:31
FIQ(nothing against the flasher software, but it really doesn't like to reflash unless you try several times, possibly due to driver issues)21:32
FIQ(20:27:07) (DocScrutinizer05) well, then I have to open a (virtual) ticket against BM, for fixing the wording in menus21:32
FIQhm... but I got the impression that it did restore the entire optfs (allthough I didn't know if it did reformat or not before I actually tried)21:33
FIQit was you who pointed out that it probably just restored /opt21:33
FIQ(which was why I created the ~ tarball in first place)21:33
kerioFIQ: that's weird, busybox-power tends to do the right thing21:39
keriomaybe it was an older version21:39
FIQwell I had 1.21 and 1.2021:39
FIQbinaries21:39
FIQthe 1.20 one appeared when uninstalling busybox-power21:40
FIQso something went wrong21:40
FIQperhaps it moved the 1.20 version to /bin/busybox.distrib accidentally?21:40
FIQwhen updating to 1.21 I mean21:40
*** dos11 has joined #maemo21:44
DocScrutinizer05FIQ: BM says "backup /opt" afaik21:48
DocScrutinizer05if it actually backups /home, incl /home/opt and /home/user, then this is a severely misleading wording21:48
DocScrutinizer05basically there's no such thing like an optfs21:49
DocScrutinizer05IroN900:~# LANG=en_EN df -h /opt21:51
DocScrutinizer05Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on21:51
DocScrutinizer05/home/opt             2.0G  819M  1.1G  43% /opt21:51
psycho_oreosI somehow doubt BM would say "backup /home" when the created tarball is labelled optfs.21:51
DocScrutinizer05localization/i18n ofgnu-df is abysmal btw21:52
DocScrutinizer05an indigestable gibberish mix of english and german21:52
FIQlol21:53
FIQafk21:53
FIQwill look into the wording when back21:54
DocScrutinizer05so if we assume optfs has any reasonable meaning as a term, then it would be /home/opt21:54
psycho_oreos"$T2S -s 2 -H left -y $y -T 0 -t "  Backing up Optfs with Tar..."; y=$((y+20))"21:55
DocScrutinizer05when BM saves /home and not /home/opt then this is wrong, either in wording or in what it actually does21:55
DocScrutinizer05IroN900:~# df -h ~user21:57

*** FIQ has quit IRC21:58
Paliuse LANG=C :-)21:58
DocScrutinizer05since /opt is a bindmount, it basically has no directly associates filesystem at all21:58
DocScrutinizer05Pali: see above, also note that LANG=C does NOT work on maemo21:59
DocScrutinizer05I intentionally left out LANG=en_EN to en_passant demonstrate >><DocScrutinizer05> an indigestable gibberish mix of english and german22:00
DocScrutinizer05I guess you're capable to deduce what the german strings mean, by comparing to above paste22:01
DocScrutinizer05psycho_oreos: what does BM use in tar command? /opt? /home? /home/opt?22:04
DocScrutinizer05or even an arbitrary generic mountpoint where /dev/mmcblk0p2 got mounted to?22:05
DocScrutinizer05sth like "mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/0p2; tar ... /mnt/0p2/opt" ?22:06
psycho_oreosIt mounts /dev/mmcblk0p2, and "gtar p"$backupOptCompress"cf $backupOptLocation ./ --ignore-failed-read --numeric-owner 2> /tmp/tarstatus & pid=$!"22:08
DocScrutinizer05pondering how BMrev1 did a dd to do volume images, I guess I can understand how this wording and this way to do the backup evolved22:08
psycho_oreosMounts /dev/mmcblk0p2 to /tmp/mnt/optfs22:10
DocScrutinizer05that's where naming confusion starts22:11
DocScrutinizer05I gather it then does a "cd /tmp/mnt/optfs"22:11
psycho_oreosYes and tarballs that directory.22:12
DocScrutinizer05before tar-ing up ./22:12
DocScrutinizer05well, /dev/mmcblk0p2 is _not_ optfs22:12
DocScrutinizer05even when you mount it to a mountpoint dir called optfs, it stays /home volume (ext3fs)22:13
psycho_oreosEven grepping the output of the (old) compressed tarballs gives /home/user/* files.22:14
DocScrutinizer05(there's a bit of widespread confusion here about filesystems and volumes. While a volume can have only one filesystem...)22:14
psycho_oreosRather partitions than filesystem :)22:15
DocScrutinizer05meh, LVM defeats the notion of partitions22:15
DocScrutinizer05it's "volume"22:16
DocScrutinizer05funny enough I'm not aware of a proper german translation of the term, other than filesystem/dateisystem22:17
DocScrutinizer05a loopmounted image also hardly is a partition, though it might consist of several virtual partitions22:18
psycho_oreosHeh, not everyone has LVM setup :D.22:18
DocScrutinizer05but everybody has volumes22:18
DocScrutinizer05not everybody has partitions22:19
DocScrutinizer05at least on this visible level22:19
DocScrutinizer05iirc e.g. mysql could even use raw devices without any MBR and partition table22:20
DocScrutinizer05a floppy has no partitions, yet it's a volume22:20
DocScrutinizer05(usually doesn't have partitions...)22:20
* psycho_oreos recalls of that windows naming convention, where volumes are used to refer for each hard disk connected regardless of the partitions the volume has or if the whole setup was even in LVM/RAID/JBOD/etc.22:20
DocScrutinizer05that are devices aka drives22:21
DocScrutinizer05at least that's how I understand all those terms, and try to use them like that22:22
psycho_oreosWas it called devices? o.O I somehow recalled it was named volumes. Even some of the complex areas like when dealing with something like recovery console or maybe even registry editor where certain portions contain the reference "Vol0".22:23
DocScrutinizer05I dunno about windows22:23
psycho_oreosAhh, well yeah they tend to have mixed/dubious term usages.22:24
DocScrutinizer05windows starts naming confusion by calling itself an OS22:24
DocScrutinizer05which evidently it wasn't until at least win-xp22:24
DocScrutinizer05or was it win-nt22:25
DocScrutinizer05?22:25
psycho_oreosI actually thought you were referring to windows before, heh. I'm guessing when it comes to LVM, each device or devices connected together are called volume regardless of what medium/density/etc they are.22:25
psycho_oreos*shrugs* they created standards which throw people of other platform users off :) Remember that issues with MB/Mb usage with hard disk manufacturers had to make amends?22:27

GogoPogoI'd love to have Maemo wiki with my while I'm on the go...23:13
GogoPogowith me*23:13
DocScrutinizer05sure, a very sane rationale23:14
DocScrutinizer05you *might* look into openmoko wikireader project, which did sth aiui similar to evopedia which I dun't know yet23:15

DocScrutinizer05not at all23:17
Siceloheh23:18
DocScrutinizer05but the code is pretty plain common c23:18
DocScrutinizer05the core is platform agnostic I'd say23:18
GogoPogoI'm more interested in the dumps than in the app.. I already have Evopedia which works flawlessly within maemo's browser23:18
DocScrutinizer05ooh23:18
DocScrutinizer05well, then it should be simple23:19
GogoPogoSo if you have dumps for wiki.maemo.org we can download them..23:19

ashleyhuh? no idea how such dumps are created, I'm aware only of MediaWiki's standard .xml dumps (generated with the script mentioned above) as well as SQL dumps23:39
GogoPogohttp://maemo.cloud-7.de/wiki/23:40
GogoPogowikimedia dumps are like this one right?23:40

ashleyWikimedia Foundation (the instance hosting Wikipedia etc.) offers various database dumps (http://dumps.wikimedia.org/), but the standard MW dump format is .xml; I have no idea what could be used to create .idx/.dat files and those definitely are not MediaWiki standard DB dump formats (also, MediaWiki != Wikimedia, MW is the software and Wikimedia is the instance hosting Wikipedia)23:41
GogoPogoI think a .xml dump file is just fine too, there must be more than one way to open and browse a .xml file on maemo.. I just believe Evopedia is a very popular application for maemo users and it would make things easier23:43
DocScrutinizer05I bet as soon as you get more info about data structure of .idx and .dat, it can get converted from xml to those formats23:44
DocScrutinizer05obviously .idx is an index file and .dat is the database file23:45
GogoPogoyes, and there's a metadata.txt file indexing the .idx files too23:45

DocScrutinizer05find the howto page on evopedia homesite23:46
GogoPogook23:46
ashleyDocScrutinizer05: also, it's probably worth noting that the supermajority of "files" at http://maemo.cloud-7.de/wiki/files/ are broken -- the files with a filesize of 8.6K are actually HTML pages (MediaWiki's file description pages instead of the actual images)23:46
DocScrutinizer05there jas to be some instruction how to create those .idx and .dat23:46
DocScrutinizer05ashley: DAMN!23:47
DocScrutinizer05I didn't do that download23:47
DocScrutinizer05thanks for letting me know23:47
ashleyhttp://maemo.cloud-7.de/wiki/files/Wm-niels%20breet.png for example is a HTML dump of Special:FilePath and I guess so are the others with the same size23:47
ashleybut for example http://maemo.cloud-7.de/wiki/files/Wazapp-group-create.png seems to be OK23:47
ashleyno idea what method's been used to dump the files, but obviously it wasn't the ideal one :-/23:48
DocScrutinizer05sth went wrong with the job that downloaded that stuff. it been an incredible manual work23:48
DocScrutinizer05some guys were creating a bashscript from special:allpages and special:files or twhatever23:49
DocScrutinizer05it's from a time where we had no access to the wiki on an administrative level23:50
DocScrutinizer05so any sed command or shellscript command in the created bashscript could have blown chunks on whatever particular property of the filename or file to download23:51
DocScrutinizer05whatever, we now have direct access to wiki db23:52
