sixwheeledbeastI believe FIQ is correct. garage, bugzilla, wiki, tmo are separate accounts because they all run on different things.00:50

DocScrutinizer05yes, maybe x-fade stopped the SSO project/effort01:07
DocScrutinizer05anyway it would be a major PITA to add it while running. How to handle all the existing accounts?01:08
DocScrutinizer05same username, differnet passwords? UGH!01:09

MaxdamantusHmm .. 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
Maxdamantusdoes 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
Maxdamantusor is it software-controlled, so the OS normally reacts to the signal by unmounting the filesystem?01:58
Maxdamantusactually, 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|eeepcit's not magnetic i think, but a light reflection thing, shared with the lens cover?02:00
r00t|eeepcand, it triggers a script that umounts the card02:00
*** useretail has joined #maemo02:00
r00t|eeepcjust as is done when you connect as usb-storage02:01
MaxdamantusOkay, 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|eeepcactually 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 out02:03
MaxdamantusDunno. 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
Maxdamantusbut even in that case, there are probably better ways to handle it.02:06

DocScrutinizer05rmmod adp1653  -- watch out, may break camera!03:35
MaxdamantusThough he left.03:35
DocScrutinizer05use carton and chewing gum, or black sticky tape! cover the LED "lens" window03:36
DocScrutinizer05yes, but he might check chanlog03:36

DocScrutinizer05Kiev might become the new Tien nan men square03:37
DocScrutinizer05this night03:37
Maxdamantustbh, in that situation, I'd probably just shortcircuit the LED with solder.03:38
DocScrutinizer05aaahyes03:38
DocScrutinizer05with solder03:38
Maxdamantusthough I don't know how difficult that is; I don't have a device yet.03:38
DocScrutinizer05it's for sure too difficult to do it in the street, while everybody trowing rocks and stones and smash stuff around you03:39
DocScrutinizer05I just hope he'll survive03:40
Maxdamantusin that case, I'd at least remove the module from the filesystem and reboot.03:40
DocScrutinizer05and the revolution will survive and conquer03:40
DocScrutinizer05rmmod might break camera03:40
Maxdamantuspermanently?03:40
DocScrutinizer05I had no time to check03:41
DocScrutinizer05no, but at least for two boots, plus editing03:41
Maxdamantusor just lose access to it, because it's also the actual camera driver03:41
Maxdamantusah, not the camera driver, but might control the camera in some way.03:41
DocScrutinizer05the cam-ui app or v4l2 might blow chunks when flashlight not available in /sys or /dev03:42

MaxdamantusAre all physical keys on the N900 ones the software sees?09:37
Maxdamantusso 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 IRC09:40
*** Agge has joined #maemo09:40
DocScrutinizer05that depends, either side09:43
Maxdamantuseither side?09:44
*** croppa has joined #maemo09:44
DocScrutinizer05yeah, on laptop as well09:44
MaxdamantusWell, pretty much all laptops have a special fn key.09:44
DocScrutinizer05on N900 all kbd keys and the volume +/- keys are genuine "keys", with keycode and all09:44
Maxdamantusa lot of them also use it as speciial modifier the OS doesn't see.09:44
MaxdamantusOkay09:45
DocScrutinizer05the power and cam are buttons09:45
Maxdamantus(eg, as a numpad that overlays iopjklbnm or something.09:45
Maxdamantus)09:45
DocScrutinizer05well, that's highly depending on laptop hardware09:45
MaxdamantusYeah, 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
DocScrutinizer05but yes, many laptops process this sort of stuff in the keyboard MCU09:47
Maxdamantusmy Aspire One uses `fn` for home/end/pgup/pgdown09:47
*** ototo is now known as zz_ototo09:47
Maxdamantusand 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
Maxdamantuser, fn+pgup = home09:48
*** Aggese has joined #maemo09:49
*** Agge has quit IRC09:49
Maxdamantuswhere 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

Maxdamantus(the issue isn't sshing into it?)12:56

Maxdamantusin will require you set it up again on the machine you want to connect from.12:57
TTilusonly inbound key auth  fails12:57
Maxdamantusunless you copied the keys from sshd itself12:57
Maxdamantuswhich will be in /etc somewhere.12:57

natsukaowhen i uploaded the shell script the proprieties were changed from a simple file text in *.html13:18
natsukaoand so chmod +x could not works, then i found this little error, i removed *.html and then i did chmod +x namefile ad pushed the key enter13:19
natsukaothen sh wargames13:20
r00t|d430the filename (or extension) is irrelevant, you can execute it even when it's named .html13:22
r00t|d430as long as the content wasn't actually html-formatted13:22
natsukaoit is only a shell script http://pastebin.com/3A5h2QbJ13:22
r00t|d430trying to execute an html file as a script usually creates lots of junk files, due to all the redirection symbols ;)13:23
natsukaobut i nver saved as *.html it was changed from mail.riseup.net such as from gmail13:24
r00t|d430who cares, really?13:25
natsukaoi got a little problem with nokia 770, i an't insert MMC card13:25
natsukaoso for me was necessary to upload from the laptop and to download from the nokia 77013:26
r00t|d430you mean, it's not detected when you insert it?13:26
natsukaonokia 770, can't works without mmc card13:26
r00t|d430why not juse use scp or obex or something?13:26
natsukaono, it is not that the problem, the fact is not that does not close13:26
natsukaoand so it means, to left it 1 month to the nokia, only for this stupid thing,13:27

Ashley`it loads the kernel, etc etc, then it says "starting kernel", and after few-fewteen (fewteen xD) seconds it turns off15:28
Ashley`i can reflash only kernel from flasher-3.5, and it boots normally15:28
Ashley`what did I do wrong?15:28

freemangordonif you enable it, the VDD2 lotage is controlled18:33

freemangordonhxka: I am not sure I get you right18:33
hxkafreemangordon: I meant it's useless to enable only VDD118:33
freemangordonno, why? VDD1 is MPU/DSP voltage18:34
freemangordonbut ofc it is better to have both enabled18:34

ShadowJKt3st3r; 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 complete20:56

t3st3rflash is block device...21:00
*** raandoom has quit IRC21:00
ShadowJKIt pretends to be a block device21:00
*** shentey has quit IRC21:01
t3st3rIt is actually a block device. Minimum write unit is page (several kb). But sometimes it takes erase of large block (hundreds Kb or more).21:01

ShadowJKt3st3r; the emmc in my asus tablet has 8M erase block21:02
t3st3rSome advanced controllers with more than 1 IC attached can operate on "erase groups", these are even more.21:02
ShadowJK4M, 6M, 8M and 12M "effective" erase blocks are thee norm now21:02
t3st3rMaybe more than 1 flash IC attached and controller haves erase group width 8Mb?21:02
ShadowJKpossibly21:02
ShadowJKFrom 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 request21:03
DocScrutinizer05I don't see how all this factoid-tossing is helping Ashley`21:03
ShadowJKnr_requests bigger and swap on uSD should sort out ashley21:04
t3st3rDocScrutinizer05> 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
DocScrutinizer05b1101: I don't know21:04
t3st3ralso maybe thumb build would help? More RAM for programs after all.21:05
DocScrutinizer05t3st3r: thanks!21:05
ShadowJKLarger 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 :D21:06
t3st3rShadowJK> is this tunable system-wide?21:06
ShadowJKIt's per block device21:07
t3st3rahh then it looks like nice thing to try to select better blocking for flash devices.21:07

DocScrutinizer05Ashley`: after t3st3r stopped discussing basics with ShadowJK, I suggest you ask ShadowJK what he suggests to improve the watchdog timeout problem21:08
ShadowJKWith modern kernel we'd use the flash aware I/O scheduler, and the flash friendly filesystem (f2fs) :)21:08
ShadowJK<ShadowJK> Don't use ext2, it's uber slow on flash. ext4 is preferrable21:09
ShadowJK<ShadowJK> echo 8192 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/nr_requests21:09
t3st3r[23:09:40] <ShadowJK> With modern kernel we'd use the flash aware I/O scheduler, and the flash friendly filesystem (f2fs) :) <- I wonder if it possible on n900 :D21:09
Ashley`thanks, i'll try (i need to install arch again - i was reflashing my device today)21:10
t3st3ras 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
t3st3rand it could be "ext3 minus journal".21:11
ShadowJKBefore I changed that tunable, large highspeed file transfers were basically impossible for me21:11
t3st3rShadowJK> what kernel you use for ext4?21:11
DocScrutinizer05:-S21:11
t3st3rin 2.6.28 it was experimental/unsafe oO21:12
ShadowJKt3st3r; ext wouldn't allow it, but I wanted to try run with gigantic journal, on the order of 32g journal on 64g card21:12
ShadowJKt3st3r; power52, it has backported ext4 fixes21:12
t3st3roh, really? So it haves less scary ext4?21:12
DocScrutinizer05RLY21:13
ShadowJKyes21:13
ShadowJKI think Estel runs ext4 /home21:13
ShadowJKme too lazy to edit startup scripts and only have it on uSD21:14
ShadowJK(and a bunch of speed critical stuff from /home on uSD and symlinked)21:14
t3st3rbecause originally there was a lot of bugs fixed, up to total volume blow-up.21:14
ShadowJKya21:15
DocScrutinizer05that's why we got backports of a working version21:15
t3st3rand I only dared to use Ext4 at about 2.6.38 or so...21:15
ShadowJKIt's not a fair comparison, but I've blown up the ext3 on $home about 5 times, and ext4 on uSD 0 times21:15
t3st3rI havent blown up any EXTs because I'm careful :)21:16
* DocScrutinizer05 heads out21:16
*** nox- has joined #maemo21:18
ShadowJKbtw, I think the misconception that I/O is busywait comes from the myriad of cpu monitors that treat all not-idle cpu time as busy, and shows widget claiming cpu is fully utilized :)21:18
*** mavhc has quit IRC21:20
*** mavhc has joined #maemo21:21
ShadowJKDespite my optimized setup, the typic web browsing session for me is 20-30% cpu wa, meaning that the cpu was idling despite processes wanting to run, as i/o the process depends on is in progress21:21
*** eMHa has joined #maemo21:21
ShadowJKOr in other words, 30% of websurfing system load consists on waiting for the emmc and uSD to do their job :/21:22
DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: I wasn't to suggest cpu was busy-waiting. Hogged meant something different than busy in my staement21:25
DocScrutinizer05the real problem I think is [swapd] not doing preemption21:28
Ashley`DocScrutinizer05, what you're going to do with that kernel.bin from me?21:29
DocScrutinizer05maybe I find time to compare it to a "sane" image21:29
Ashley`ah... one thing...21:30
Ashley`You wanted me to do that dump with u-boot flashed into nand?21:30
ShadowJKIt's kinda funny how much my finetuning of my N800 has changed over the years, as I've continously upgraded the SD cards in it21:31
ShadowJKI wonder if it's already past the point where the SD cards have more CPU power than the N800 itself :)21:32
ShadowJKDocScrutinizer05; what do you mean by preemption?21:32
DocScrutinizer05I mean kernel can't run [wd]21:32
ShadowJKWell it would run it if it was still in ram21:34
DocScrutinizer05yeah, not sure if a 'normal' (even kernel) process is supposed to block kernel from multitasking21:34
*** arcean has joined #maemo21:34
t3st3rwaiting for the emmc and uSD to do their job :/ <- means it could theoretically be 30% faster at same horsepower :)21:35
DocScrutinizer05then otoh sw-reset (wd) could as well be the dsme one, or whoknowswhat21:35
ShadowJKthis is backupmenu's watchdog software:21:35
ShadowJK( while true ; do echo x ; sleep 1 ; done ) > $dev 2>/dev/null < /dev/null &21:36
ShadowJKI wonder what process does the equivalent in fremantle... mce?21:36
DocScrutinizer05yeah, that's how all watchdogs work21:36
DocScrutinizer05dsme21:36

*** florian has quit IRC21:38
ShadowJKSo if dsme isn't in ram when its timer expires, and there's heavy I/O going on, it probably doesn't make it back in time21:38
DocScrutinizer05:nod:21:38
DocScrutinizer05though dsme should be ram-locked21:38
DocScrutinizer05(dunno how that's done but I know it is possible and used in maemo a lot)21:39

Ashley`DocScrutinizer05, http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=6812521:40
Ashley`DocScrutinizer05, there is something about ramlocking21:40
ShadowJKmight be intentional, when a relatively small thing like dsme doesn't respond quickly enough, the UI responds even slower, so intentionally let it reboot?21:40
