DocScrutinizer05this doesn't mean a thing08:25
DocScrutinizer05it's a normal message from WLAN driver not special to N900 nor maemo nor does it indicate an already flawed WiFi signal situation. In short: you see it everywhere and it not really means a problem: http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/viewtopic.php?t=50006008:31
DocScrutinizer05when your IRC connections die while ssh is stable, you got completely different problems than WiFi signal strength08:32
DocScrutinizer05e.g your keep-alive ping interval might be too high to keep any NAT session alive that's possibly in the route from your client to IRC network server08:34
DocScrutinizer05or your IRC server you connect to is simply flaky, not enything unheard in freenode either08:35
DocScrutinizer05run a `ping 8.8.8.8` in a terminal on N900 and see if that stops the connection loss.08:36
DocScrutinizer05also check what's your IRC server (you see this during login, in "freenode" tab. might be sth like pratchett.freenode.net (([Whois] mashina is online via pratchett.freenode.net (Rennes, France).))  Then run a ping against that server, possibly keeping open any NAT session and also stopping WLAN from entering deep sleep PSM08:39
DocScrutinizer05if that changes situation repeatably, come back here for further advice, since a ping is no fix but only a diagnostic means08:39
DocScrutinizer05http://www.spinics.net/lists/maemo-users/msg16155.html08:46
DocScrutinizer05try to set PSM to medium or low08:46
DocScrutinizer05possibly your AP and the N900 WiFi firmware don't harmonize on PowerSavingMode08:47

*** croppa has joined #maemo13:55
*** Hurrian has joined #maemo13:59
DocScrutinizer05look for the python script in ~phonecontrol. It's not simple but does almost what you're looking for14:02
DocScrutinizer05just it waits for an inbound SMS "ping" to answer hardcoded "pong"14:06
DocScrutinizer05yours needs to wait for inbound call or even better for inbound call missed notifier popping up14:07

jonwilDocScrutinizer: ping14:28
jonwilDocScrutinizer05: ping14:28
DocScrutinizer05hmm?14:34
jonwilhmm, now I forget why I wanted to talk to you :P14:34
DocScrutinizer05ayeeeh14:35
jonwilbtw I will do whatever I can towards helping with Neo900 RE work14:36
DocScrutinizer05maybe you want to know that I'm not inclined to mce-bugfix any time soon14:36
DocScrutinizer05no time14:37
jonwilheck, MCE is already the biggest piece of reverse engineering work in the maemo community :)14:38
dos1DocScrutinizer05: hello14:38
DocScrutinizer05hi!14:38
dos1any comments about that news piece, or should i publish it as it is?14:38
DocScrutinizer05well, I already siad it's probably ok14:39
DocScrutinizer05ask Nikolaus though14:39
dos1k14:39
DocScrutinizer05s/all donated/your donated/14:41
jonwilI just hope the USB port on my N900 doesn't fail, otherwise all my dev work will grind to a halt (its dangerously close to failing)14:43
DocScrutinizer05and maybe we don't want customers to judge about feasibility, that sounds not right. We want to allow them to judge if the project is what they expect14:43
jonwilI would do the fix for it but I dont have the skills, tools or know-how14:43
DocScrutinizer05jonwil: then immediately let it repair in a repair shop14:44
DocScrutinizer05**imediately**14:44
jonwilI cant find a local repair shop that can do repairs14:44
jonwilall of them dont even wanna touch a N90014:44
jonwilonly usual crap like iCrap screen repalcements14:44
DocScrutinizer05damn, what idiots14:44
DocScrutinizer05no nokia care around?14:45
jonwilthere is a nokia care but I think they dont do any repairs, just send things away for advice14:46
DocScrutinizer05or a technical university or club?14:46
jonwildont know anyone with electronics skills around14:46
jonwilits a matter of finding not just someone that does phone repairs but someone who can do the USB repair14:50
DocScrutinizer05dos1: on the final device price, >>and give us a feedback if there are enough customers so we can dare to continue development.14:50
DocScrutinizer05jonwil: everybody who does phone repair that involves soldering can do *now*. This may change to the worse once you completely ripped the USB off the mainboard14:52
jonwilok14:52
*** Neutron116 has joined #maemo14:54
jonwilNot exactly sure what I should be asking for when I go to these shops, i.e. what I should tell them I need them to do14:55
DocScrutinizer05print out this:14:56
DocScrutinizer05~usbfix14:56
infobotusbfix is probably http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75920 - and **NEVER** use epoxy (unless you want to seal your device for underwater)14:56
DocScrutinizer05there are pictures14:56
DocScrutinizer05more than sufficient for an electrician with a soldering iron to know what to do14:57
DocScrutinizer05probably even a goldsmith could do14:58
jonwilso basically go to the shop, show them the stuff between the "--------------------------" in that post and then ask if that is something they have the facilities to carry out14:58

psycho_oreosjonwil, there's a mob known as FixMyMobile, it's where I got/am getting my nokia phone/devices fixed.15:00
DocScrutinizer05http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1191819&postcount=11615:01
jonwilthey are in Brisbane, I am in Perth15:01
DocScrutinizer05http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1073214&postcount=2215:01
psycho_oreosHmm bugger, there might be stalls that can do it.15:02
jonwilI will probably print out those links and go to a few repair shops (not the stalls that do "iphone screen repairs" and are filled with 100s of iPhone and iPad and iPod covers and cases, the actual shops that do repairs15:02
jonwilshow them the N900 and the printout and say "is this a fix you can do and what will it cost"15:03
DocScrutinizer05DO NOT use glue15:03
DocScrutinizer05also print out service manual L1_215:04
DocScrutinizer05they will need it to correctly and safely disassemble the device15:04
jonwilwell at least one shop I know is the shop that replaced the screen surround parts (the one with the little Nokia logo on it)15:05
*** _rd has joined #maemo15:05
DocScrutinizer05in L1_2 cross out all pictures that show steps not needed to access the USB port15:06
DocScrutinizer05otherwise the dude in shop might get overwhelmed by the number of steps it seems to take to do this disassembly15:07
jonwilI will probably be going to shops that say "we do board level repairs"15:08
jonwile.g. this one http://www.ctf.com.au/physical_damage.html15:08
jonwilthat one says they can do anything up to replacing chips15:08
jonwilI will try a few shops in my local area15:08
DocScrutinizer05https://sites.google.com/site/svcr0c0/n900 is maybe better than L1_2 but do NOT use fingernail to unplug the cable, use a credit card and lever it out carefully, it's very delicate15:11
jonwilI will worry about it15:13
DocScrutinizer05jonwil: yes, that shop sounds very adequate15:13
jonwilthere are a few that can probably do it15:14
jonwilI will go to a few with printout of the USB repair bits and see what they say about whether they can do it15:14
DocScrutinizer05they explicitly offer "charger port" fix15:14
DocScrutinizer05they also offer backup battery replacement, so maybe you want to get this as well when you're already there15:14
jonwilyeah that makes sense15:15
*** Custodian has quit IRC15:16
jonwilIf they dont know N900 because they dont have the service manual, I will point them at the PDF :)15:17
*** _rd has quit IRC15:17
DocScrutinizer05jonwil: when you drop by at them, can you ask them if they can replace the SoC (and storage) in a N9 please?15:19
DocScrutinizer05particularly if they can get replacement chip15:19
*** mkaindl has left #maemo15:20
*** mkaindl has joined #maemo15:21
DocScrutinizer05if they can, you might want to get as many as you can get, at least for your own Neo900 to get 1GB of RAM15:22
jonwilI doubt I will remember to ask about that15:23
jonwilbut if I do I will ask :P15:23
DocScrutinizer05I will help you to remember15:23
jonwilas for Neo900, I haven't said I can afford to buy a Neo90015:23
DocScrutinizer05when the USB fix ever fails, your only option is a Neo900, and that will not come with 1GB of RAM when you can't find that chip15:24
DocScrutinizer05now I guess you can't help but remember this the very moment you receive your fixed N900 at that shop15:25
jonwilthats if the shop can fix it, I dont know if they can or not15:25
DocScrutinizer05since you will wonder how good this USB repair will save your N90015:25
DocScrutinizer05they *can* fix this USB15:26
DocScrutinizer05110%15:26
DocScrutinizer05it's their easiest job of the day15:26
jonwilassuming its not already too damaged to repair with that fix15:27
DocScrutinizer05and finding spare RAM chip for N9 will be their all time nightmare15:27
DocScrutinizer05does it still work?15:27
jonwilit appears to15:28
DocScrutinizer05then they CAN fix it15:28
DocScrutinizer05unless you ruin it before they can do15:28
jonwilit works but there was a time when I bumped the plug and it flicked to "disconnect charger" and "charging"15:29
jonwilhence why I am starting to worry15:29
* Sicelo is one of those who doubt they can afford Neo900 :(15:29
DocScrutinizer05tell them about it, they can manage that too15:29
jonwilI am also on the list of people who cant afford a Neo90015:29
jonwilat least so long as I remain unemployed :(15:30
DocScrutinizer05jonwil: I guess you qualify for a developer-program device15:30
*** kolp has joined #maemo15:30
Sicelo+1.. he deserves one :)15:30
jonwilI think my work on MCE would be more than enough reason for dev-program access15:31
jonwilit is the biggest single piece of reverse engineering done in the history of Maemo15:31
Siceloi saw in #maemo-cssu backscroll.. so MCE has now been busted open? completely?15:32
*** jdoles has joined #maemo15:32
jonwilyep15:32
jdolesHow can I see recent events?15:32
Sicelonice one jdoles :P15:33
jdolesI accidentally closed the event.15:33
Sicelorecent events .. what events?15:33
DocScrutinizer05it doesn't matter if somebody deserves anything - that may matter later when we have mass production devices. Developer devices are loaners handed out to those who *need* one to make fremantle port work15:33
jonwil:)15:33
jdolesSicelo: "missed calls", "you have a new message", etc.15:33
jdolesSicelo: the thing in yellow.15:33
jonwilwell I dont deserve a loaner device15:33
jonwilbecause I doubt I will be able to contribute enough dev programming time to make good use of it15:34
jonwili.e. I would be doing more RE than writing code and I dont need a dev device for RE15:34
jdolesA loaner device should go to whoever already has an application running in a virtual environment.15:34
Sicelojdoles: your message is still on Conversations, highlighted blue. and your missed call is still in the Phone application15:34
jonwilloaner devices should also go very much to kernel guys15:35
DocScrutinizer05jdoles: we're not dealing with apps here15:35
jonwilwho would be doing kernel and system-bits dev15:35
jonwili.e. MCE, kernel, DSME, BME, ke-recv and other hardware bits15:35
DocScrutinizer05+115:35
DocScrutinizer05exactly15:35
jonwilSo yeah there is now code available that (assuming no bugs caused by incorrect reverse engineering) should match exactly to MCE of PR1.315:36
* Sicelo agrees 15:36
DocScrutinizer05apps are considered compatible15:36
jdolesI think if the device cannot be developed without physical hardware that the software ecosystem is broken.15:36
DocScrutinizer05so no app developer needs a devel device15:36
jonwilso yeah I dont need a loaner because I wont be writing the kind of code people need loaners for15:36
DocScrutinizer05jdoles: I think you lack a complete picture of what we're talking about here#15:37
Sicelojdoles: ?15:37
jdolesDocScrutinizer05: probably.15:37
jonwilso yeah I think my N900 is still lowish risk of USB damage as of right now but its high enough risk that its worth getting the USB repair done now rather than taking risk of e.g. bumping device wrong and causing cable to pull USB device slightly and break it too much to fix15:38
DocScrutinizer05yes15:38
jdolesSicelo: I think for any "driver" (i.e. runs in some kind of privileged mode) it should be possible to develop it without having a physical device.15:39
*** Martix has joined #maemo15:39
DocScrutinizer05sure, but how would you TEST it?15:39
jdolesDocScrutinizer05: there is no reason to test it, unless the hardware guys didn't write a contract (cf. design by contract).15:40
DocScrutinizer05how would you TEST the new accelerometer in Neo900?15:40
*** arcean has quit IRC15:40
DocScrutinizer05WUT?15:40
jdolesIf it's some community hackjob, then I suppose it couldn't be done like this.15:40
*** arcean has joined #maemo15:40
jonwilI have seen enough hardware dev stuff to know that writing drivers without the physical hw is a bad idea15:40
DocScrutinizer05uhuh15:40
Siceloyay! :-/15:41
DocScrutinizer05like I said, you're missing a clear picture of what we're doing15:41
DocScrutinizer05btw *I* am "the hw-guy"15:41
jdolesIf you created the hardware, you should write a specification saying after how many seconds a particular signal arrives.15:42
DocScrutinizer05and community is writinf the drivers and adaption, e.g. in MCE15:42
DocScrutinizer05aha15:42
jdolesThe same for the shape of the signal, etc.15:42
DocScrutinizer05interesting15:42
DocScrutinizer05;-P15:43
jdolesI.e. a complete specification of everything that your magic device does.15:43
jonwilwriting drivers with just the specs is a bad idea, you need physical hw at all15:43
DocScrutinizer05*sigh*15:43
jdolesYou only need physical hardware if the specification is not complete.15:43
DocScrutinizer05jonwil: futile effort15:43
jdolesThat way, there is even no reason to test it. You can just prove that it works.15:43
DocScrutinizer05BWAHAHAHA15:44
jonwilI meant you do need physical hardware15:44
jdolesI understand, and I am saying you don't.15:44
dos1life isn't *that* easy15:44
* kolp is looking for popcorn15:44
jonwiljdoles: Have you ever done linux kernel development? Hardware work? Anything low-level?15:45
dos1especially when we're talking about pretty complicated device consisting of lots of 3rd-party modules15:45
jonwilIf not, stfu and let the people who HAVE done such work decide how it is best done15:45
jdolesjonwil: I have written some drivers.15:45
jonwilhmmm ok15:45
jonwilhave you written hardware drivers without hardware (or simulated hardware) in hand?15:45
jdolesjonwil: no.15:46
Sicelo:D15:46
DocScrutinizer05ask freemangordon about DT and clock dividers in 3.12 kernel, and how he had debuugged that crap when he hadn't had access to hardware to test it15:46
jdolesjonwil: or, actually, I did.15:46
jdolesjonwil: I got a few weeks to develop a driver without the physical hardware and only a manual.15:46
jdolesjonwil: but this is still irrelevant.15:47
jdolesjonwil: just because everyone is doing it in a particular way now, doesn't mean they aren't all doing it wrong.15:47
jdolesjonwil: 99.99% of people also develop software in the wrong way.15:47
DocScrutinizer05sure15:47
jdolesAll I see are projects that are never *finished*.15:48
dos1so yes, in utopian world you're absolutely right15:48
DocScrutinizer05and jes err jdoles is our savior who tells us the truth15:48
*** FReaper-PC has quit IRC15:48

jdolesA computer is just a circuit which is evaluated.15:48
jdoles(repeatedly)15:48
jdolesI don't see any reason for introducing errors.15:49
Sicelo /whois jdoles15:49
DocScrutinizer05the great jdoles who never wrote a code with any bug, not a single one. His software works when finished, doesn't need testing. Ever15:49
*** fuz_ has quit IRC15:50
DocScrutinizer05actualle he removed the backspace key from all his keyboards15:51
DocScrutinizer05since he never falls for any mistake15:51
DocScrutinizer05jdoles: the problem is: even when we all learn to be as smart as you seem to be, we need to deal with code written by other less smart devels15:52
DocScrutinizer05unless we write everything anew from scratch15:52
jdolesDocScrutinizer05: the solution for that is to fire all those people.15:53
dos1:)15:53
jdolesI applaud rewriting everything from scratch.15:53
DocScrutinizer05and particularly for hw drivers I don't know a 100% proven test except running it against the real hardware15:53
jdolesIf you don't do it right the first time, you just need to do it again.15:53
*** amospalla has quit IRC15:54

*** ChanServ sets mode: +o DocScrutinizer0515:55
dos1jdoles: if you've got all resources needed to develop whole device from scratch by yourself, then go for it!15:55
dos1we will be happy if we find resources to develop just a device using 3rd-party modules, which might or might not be perfect15:56
dos1and usually, are not15:56
DocScrutinizer05dos1: the only thing he can do, since even testing the 100% bugfree nature of the other co-devels needs testing on real hardware15:56
DocScrutinizer05dos1: don't feed the troll15:57
DocScrutinizer05his approach is from utopia anyway15:58
DocScrutinizer05or just trolling15:58
