Maxdamantus | Hmm .. so the N900 apparently has a magnet mechanism to detect whether the back cover is on, to determine availability of the SD card. | 01:56 |
Maxdamantus | does that mean if you have the SD card mounted, the block device will disappear when you open the cover? | 01:57 |
Maxdamantus | (resulting in IO errors or something) | 01:57 |
Maxdamantus | or is it software-controlled, so the OS normally reacts to the signal by unmounting the filesystem? | 01:58 |
Maxdamantus | actually, the block device wouldn't disappear if it's mounted .. it would just result in IO errors, if the mechanism isn't software-controlled. | 02:00 |
r00t|eeepc | it's not magnetic i think, but a light reflection thing, shared with the lens cover? | 02:00 |
r00t|eeepc | and, it triggers a script that umounts the card | 02:00 |
*** useretail has joined #maemo | 02:00 | |
r00t|eeepc | just as is done when you connect as usb-storage | 02:01 |
Maxdamantus | Okay, so you can presumably just remove that functionality if you didn't want to use the SD card as something you'd normally remove at will. | 02:02 |
r00t|eeepc | actually what would be the point of a non software-controlled mechanism that disconnects the card when the cover is open? might aswell just wait for the user to disconnect the card by pulling it out | 02:03 |
Maxdamantus | Dunno. Maybe if the slot were fiddly and it were likely that the card would be powered off and on rapidly while being inserted. | 02:05 |
Maxdamantus | but even in that case, there are probably better ways to handle it. | 02:06 |
Maxdamantus | also: http://forum.dailymobile.net/index.php?topic=20949.0 | 02:08 |

DocScrutinizer05 | aaahyes | 03:38 |
DocScrutinizer05 | with solder | 03:38 |

Maxdamantus | Are all physical keys on the N900 ones the software sees? | 09:37 |
Maxdamantus | so running `xev` should show a keycode for each one? | 09:38 |
Maxdamantus | (as opposed to what happens on a lot of laptop keyboards, where the `fn` button modifies what keys are sent and is not itself seen) | 09:38 |
*** Agge has quit IRC | 09:40 | |
*** Agge has joined #maemo | 09:40 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | that depends, either side | 09:43 |
Maxdamantus | either side? | 09:44 |
*** croppa has joined #maemo | 09:44 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | yeah, on laptop as well | 09:44 |
Maxdamantus | Well, pretty much all laptops have a special fn key. | 09:44 |
DocScrutinizer05 | on N900 all kbd keys and the volume +/- keys are genuine "keys", with keycode and all | 09:44 |
Maxdamantus | a lot of them also use it as speciial modifier the OS doesn't see. | 09:44 |
Maxdamantus | Okay | 09:45 |
DocScrutinizer05 | the power and cam are buttons | 09:45 |
Maxdamantus | (eg, as a numpad that overlays iopjklbnm or something. | 09:45 |
Maxdamantus | ) | 09:45 |
DocScrutinizer05 | well, that's highly depending on laptop hardware | 09:45 |
Maxdamantus | Yeah, as I said, pretty much all of them have the `fn` key .. probably most of them have at least a few such uses as modifiers for normal keys, which aren't seen by the software. | 09:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but yes, many laptops process this sort of stuff in the keyboard MCU | 09:47 |
Maxdamantus | my Aspire One uses `fn` for home/end/pgup/pgdown | 09:47 |
*** ototo is now known as zz_ototo | 09:47 | |
Maxdamantus | and it's not up to the OS to figure out that fn+up = home .. the keyboard sends the normal keycode for home over its PS/2 interface. | 09:48 |
Maxdamantus | er, fn+pgup = home | 09:48 |
*** Aggese has joined #maemo | 09:49 | |
*** Agge has quit IRC | 09:49 | |
Maxdamantus | where it could, if it weren't for the screen brightness controls, which are independent of the OS, have just been another key that OSes treated as modifiers when configured properly. | 09:50 |
Maxdamantus | (and other similar things, like enable/disable touchpad, switch display output, ..) | 09:50 |

r00t|d430 | the filename (or extension) is irrelevant, you can execute it even when it's named .html | 13:22 |
r00t|d430 | as long as the content wasn't actually html-formatted | 13:22 |
natsukao | it is only a shell script http://pastebin.com/3A5h2QbJ | 13:22 |
r00t|d430 | trying to execute an html file as a script usually creates lots of junk files, due to all the redirection symbols ;) | 13:23 |
natsukao | but i nver saved as *.html it was changed from mail.riseup.net such as from gmail | 13:24 |
r00t|d430 | who cares, really? | 13:25 |
natsukao | i got a little problem with nokia 770, i an't insert MMC card | 13:25 |
natsukao | so for me was necessary to upload from the laptop and to download from the nokia 770 | 13:26 |
r00t|d430 | you mean, it's not detected when you insert it? | 13:26 |
natsukao | nokia 770, can't works without mmc card | 13:26 |
r00t|d430 | why not juse use scp or obex or something? | 13:26 |
natsukao | no, it is not that the problem, the fact is not that does not close | 13:26 |
natsukao | and so it means, to left it 1 month to the nokia, only for this stupid thing, | 13:27 |

Ashley` | I reflashed my n900 | 15:26 |
Ashley` | updated, installed cssu-testing | 15:26 |
Ashley` | installed u-boot (first time) | 15:27 |
Ashley` | (u-boot-flasher package) | 15:27 |
Ashley` | and kernel-cssu-bootimg | 15:27 |
Ashley` | and when I boot my n900 and select cssu kernel (or default one) | 15:27 |
Ashley` | it loads the kernel, etc etc, then it says "starting kernel", and after few-fewteen (fewteen xD) seconds it turns off | 15:28 |
Ashley` | i can reflash only kernel from flasher-3.5, and it boots normally | 15:28 |
Ashley` | what did I do wrong? | 15:28 |
TTilus | is updating time from gsm network supposed to work with n900? | 15:29 |
TTilus | pr1.3 | 15:29 |
TTilus | as far as i remember my previous n900 had sync working | 15:30 |
r00t|d430 | TTilus: never worked for me with any carrier | 15:30 |
r00t|d430 | or any phone for that matter | 15:30 |
TTilus | so ntpd it is then... | 15:30 |
Ashley` | It works for me I think | 15:30 |
Ashley` | Poland, Orange | 15:30 |
Ashley` | (but with latest cssu-t) | 15:31 |
TTilus | ok, maybe ntpd only after upgrading to cssu, which im about to do | 15:32 |
r00t|d430 | ashley: what you did wrong: you are using a system that provides no diagnostic messages during boot... | 15:32 |

freemangordon | VDD2 is L3 interconnect IIRC | 18:29 |
freemangordon | voltage that is | 18:29 |
*** shamus has quit IRC | 18:31 | |
hxka | So it's useless then? | 18:31 |
Ashley` | yay | 18:32 |
freemangordon | hxka: hmm? why is that? | 18:32 |
Ashley` | I downloaded pali's kernel pack with pr1.3 kernel with framebuffer | 18:32 |
freemangordon | if you enable it, the VDD2 lotage is controlled | 18:33 |
freemangordon | *voltage | 18:33 |
Ashley` | and I can see why it doesn't work with u-boot | 18:33 |
freemangordon | hxka: I am not sure I get you right | 18:33 |
hxka | freemangordon: I meant it's useless to enable only VDD1 | 18:33 |
freemangordon | no, why? VDD1 is MPU/DSP voltage | 18:34 |
freemangordon | but ofc it is better to have both enabled | 18:34 |
hxka | Oh, thanks | 18:34 |
hxka | Another question: is there any benefit in lowering the voltages in k-p-s profile if both VDD1 and VDD2 are enabled anyway? | 18:35 |
*** shentey has quit IRC | 18:38 | |
*** shentey has joined #maemo | 18:39 | |

DocScrutinizer05 | Ashley`: could you please do a `cat /dev/mtd3 >kerneldump.bin` and provide that file somewhere for analysis? | 20:31 |
Ashley` | okay | 20:31 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ooh wait, you can't get that done except in rescueOS, since when you flash uBoot it doesn't boot any normal kernel anymore, right? | 20:32 |
Ashley` | i can boot it from flasher-3.5 | 20:32 |
DocScrutinizer05 | well, a dump of stock kernel NAND partition will help too. It still should indicate if there are bad blocks | 20:32 |
Ashley` | I'm on kp52 now | 20:33 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Ashley`: right, you can load kernel to RAM | 20:33 |
hxka | Apparently there is nandtest to check if blocks are bad | 20:33 |
DocScrutinizer05 | hxka: NOOOOOO! | 20:33 |

ShadowJK | Not exactly hogging cpu | 20:47 |
ShadowJK | Just that the cpu has nothing to do. | 20:47 |
ShadowJK | As code isn't coming in from storage fast enough | 20:47 |
t3st3r | OMAP seems to have slow I/O. | 20:47 |
ShadowJK | Not particulary | 20:47 |
t3st3r | when it swaps, whole system works slowly and getting unresponsive. | 20:48 |

ShadowJK | ashley; dunno what kind of setup you have, but, if you're running on MicroSD, get a fast one, I recommend Samsung Pro, Sandisk Extreme (available in two speed grades, the slower rated one is faster), or Sandisk Ultra android edition | 20:49 |
DocScrutinizer05 | no, on N900 you *have* a wd that reboots, while other usual PCs don't | 20:50 |
Ashley` | ShadowJK, I don't have microsd :P | 20:50 |
ShadowJK | Don't use ext2, it's uber slow on flash. ext4 is preferrable | 20:50 |

DocScrutinizer05 | t3st3r: thanks, never heard of that¡ | 20:51 |
t3st3r | [22:51:15] <ShadowJK> Don't use ext2, it's uber slow on flash. ext4 is preferrable <- are there recent kernels for n900 to run it safely? | 20:51 |
t3st3r | DocScrutinizer05> IIRC N900 is really paranoid about watchdogs: 2 watchdogs + some software monitor. | 20:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so? | 20:52 |
ShadowJK | t3st3r; also PC even with slow laptop harddrive has 100+ IOPS performance, the N900 emmc is <10, cheap SD cards around 1. SSDs 10,000 or more. | 20:53 |
ShadowJK | t3st3r; kernel-power has backported ext4 | 20:53 |
DocScrutinizer05 | b1101: what's zoom keys? | 20:53 |

*** xes has joined #maemo | 20:53 | |

ShadowJK | t3st3r; my Asus tablet with nvidia tegra has "slower I/O" than N900 :) | 20:54 |
DocScrutinizer05 | a particularly funny idea to abuse volume keys for something other than volume control during mp3 playback | 20:54 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but well | 20:54 |

t3st3r | ShadowJK> oh, really? :D | 20:55 |
ShadowJK | t3st3r; the big issue is that writing anything takes seconds in the worst case, and there's loads of little writes going on all the time... the worst case scenario becomes more likely the more stuff is going on simultaneously, which also creates greater memory pressure, so stuff is constantly waiting for some piece of code to get read in, but first needs to wait for the write to complete | 20:56 |
ShadowJK | t3st3r; yes, that tablet has a slower emmc than N900.. | 20:57 |

ShadowJK | t3st3r; the emmc in my asus tablet has 8M erase block | 21:02 |
t3st3r | Some advanced controllers with more than 1 IC attached can operate on "erase groups", these are even more. | 21:02 |
ShadowJK | 4M, 6M, 8M and 12M "effective" erase blocks are thee norm now | 21:02 |
t3st3r | Maybe more than 1 flash IC attached and controller haves erase group width 8Mb? | 21:02 |
ShadowJK | possibly | 21:02 |
ShadowJK | From my point of view it's not much of a difference whether it's 2x4M grouped together or 1x8M, the net result is the same, worst case the emmc does 8M read-modify-write for every request | 21:03 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I don't see how all this factoid-tossing is helping Ashley` | 21:03 |
ShadowJK | nr_requests bigger and swap on uSD should sort out ashley | 21:04 |
t3st3r | DocScrutinizer05> to be honest I don't see how to help with it at all. Maybe fast SDHC with swap on it could improve it a bit? | 21:04 |
DocScrutinizer05 | b1101: I don't know | 21:04 |
t3st3r | also maybe thumb build would help? More RAM for programs after all. | 21:05 |
DocScrutinizer05 | t3st3r: thanks! | 21:05 |
ShadowJK | Larger queue size helped me, I saw an increase in average request size as reported by iostat, which means less read-modify-write type write amplification on the emmc, which means higher net throughput :D | 21:06 |
t3st3r | ShadowJK> is this tunable system-wide? | 21:06 |
ShadowJK | It's per block device | 21:07 |

Ashley` | thanks, i'll try (i need to install arch again - i was reflashing my device today) | 21:10 |
t3st3r | as for ext2/3 you can try to hint it to use stride supposedly equal to erase block of card. | 21:11 |
DocScrutinizer05 | *sigh* | 21:11 |
t3st3r | and it could be "ext3 minus journal". | 21:11 |
ShadowJK | Before I changed that tunable, large highspeed file transfers were basically impossible for me | 21:11 |
t3st3r | ShadowJK> what kernel you use for ext4? | 21:11 |
DocScrutinizer05 | :-S | 21:11 |
t3st3r | in 2.6.28 it was experimental/unsafe oO | 21:12 |
ShadowJK | t3st3r; ext wouldn't allow it, but I wanted to try run with gigantic journal, on the order of 32g journal on 64g card | 21:12 |
ShadowJK | t3st3r; power52, it has backported ext4 fixes | 21:12 |
t3st3r | oh, really? So it haves less scary ext4? | 21:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | RLY | 21:13 |
ShadowJK | yes | 21:13 |
ShadowJK | I think Estel runs ext4 /home | 21:13 |
ShadowJK | me too lazy to edit startup scripts and only have it on uSD | 21:14 |
ShadowJK | (and a bunch of speed critical stuff from /home on uSD and symlinked) | 21:14 |
t3st3r | because originally there was a lot of bugs fixed, up to total volume blow-up. | 21:14 |
ShadowJK | ya | 21:15 |
DocScrutinizer05 | that's why we got backports of a working version | 21:15 |
t3st3r | and I only dared to use Ext4 at about 2.6.38 or so... | 21:15 |
ShadowJK | It's not a fair comparison, but I've blown up the ext3 on $home about 5 times, and ext4 on uSD 0 times | 21:15 |

*** nox- has joined #maemo | 21:18 | |

*** mavhc has joined #maemo | 21:21 | |

*** eMHa has joined #maemo | 21:21 | |
ShadowJK | Or in other words, 30% of websurfing system load consists on waiting for the emmc and uSD to do their job :/ | 21:22 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ShadowJK: I wasn't to suggest cpu was busy-waiting. Hogged meant something different than busy in my staement | 21:25 |
DocScrutinizer05 | the real problem I think is [swapd] not doing preemption | 21:28 |
Ashley` | DocScrutinizer05, what you're going to do with that kernel.bin from me? | 21:29 |
DocScrutinizer05 | maybe I find time to compare it to a "sane" image | 21:29 |
Ashley` | ah... one thing... | 21:30 |
Ashley` | You wanted me to do that dump with u-boot flashed into nand? | 21:30 |
ShadowJK | It's kinda funny how much my finetuning of my N800 has changed over the years, as I've continously upgraded the SD cards in it | 21:31 |
ShadowJK | I wonder if it's already past the point where the SD cards have more CPU power than the N800 itself :) | 21:32 |
ShadowJK | DocScrutinizer05; what do you mean by preemption? | 21:32 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I mean kernel can't run [wd] | 21:32 |
ShadowJK | Well it would run it if it was still in ram | 21:34 |
DocScrutinizer05 | yeah, not sure if a 'normal' (even kernel) process is supposed to block kernel from multitasking | 21:34 |
*** arcean has joined #maemo | 21:34 | |
t3st3r | waiting for the emmc and uSD to do their job :/ <- means it could theoretically be 30% faster at same horsepower :) | 21:35 |
